NO NORTH AND SOUTH IN TIE EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
10 che Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR: striking instance of the extent 10 which
among sensible people the late war is forgotten and
the essential unity that has to the country is
recognized, is shown in two recent incidents OF no
political connection and in themselves unnOticeabe
to politicians, and yet possessing much meaning.
st. James's Church, Chicago remarkable among
the Episcopal Churches in the Northwest for the
intensity of union sentiment among It's parishioners,
aud in whose vestbue stands a costly and beautiful
monument to the young men of the parish who fell
fighting for the Union has just taken rs its rector
the Rev. Dr. Harris from New-Orlcaus, during the
war an officer in the Confederate service, who
after the war took orders in the Episcopal Church
and Trinity Church, New-Orleans, formerly Bishop

most outspOken Union men among the Episcopal

of those concerned. Ii is pity the State cannot

of the Meteorological Bureau Of Sweden. This gen.
teman states that in December, 1875 he addressed
letters to many observers in Europe, soliciting ac
curate observations on the movements OF the
cirrus clouds. All the observations wero care
fully entered by Jim in the weather charts
of Europe and compared with the observed drec-
ton of the lower Clouds well rs the course Of the
isobarometrc lines. From the entire series Of OBJ
scrvations accumulated in three years, Mr.. Hide
brandsson gives his conclusions as follows: Near
the center of the barometric depression the upper
currents move in direction very nearly parallel to
the sobars and to the lower currents; but in pro-
portion AS we 20 from the center Of low pressure
they move outward and deviate to the right of tho
lower clouds. Within regions of maximum barom-
eIic the upper clouds converge toward tho
center, cutting tho isobars very nearly at right
angles. The figures prove clearly that the upper
currents of the atmosphere move from the barOm-
etric miniina. and converge toward the maxima.
In respect to the arrangement Of parallel bands Of
cirrus clouds 0nr author states that he has inserted
upon his charts III observations and finds that tho
bands of cirri are within the regions of maximum
PRESSURE generally arranged in directions very
nearly perpendicular to the isobars but in the Ie-
gons of minimum pressure they are sensiby parallel
10 the isObars. II follows from his investigation
that the air must necessarily he ascending ~ tine
region Of low barometer, and that, when arrived at
a great hight above the earth, IL removes from
this region of low pressure and spreading uniformly
out over the regions of maximum pressure gradually
falls toward tine earth in descending currents. In
this manner there Is effected continual vertical
circulation between the surface of the earth and the
uppcr limit of the atmosphere. The principal agent
in this circulation is the difference Of temperature
and of moisture at the surface of the earth and in
the upper regions Of the atmosphere differences
which exceed by far that between tie equator aud
the poles. Carrying out this idea, iiildebrandeson
concludes that the cold experienced AT the surface
Of the earth daring of high pressure
comes from above, being brought down by tho
descending atmosphere and explains thereby the
anomalous daily period in the determinations of the
attitudes By the barometer. The conclusion OF his
memoir, expressing the hope that observations of
cirrus clouds will in the future be more thoroughly
made in connection with weather predictions, has
been already, we believe anticipated. 50 far the
action of the Weather Bureau OF the Army signal
Office is concerned, since the conclusions announced
by HildebrandssOn were early as 1871 IN the pos
session of the meeOr0logstS of that Office, and his
work must be regarded a valuable confirmation
for Europe of those laws which were already eotaD-
llsnel Tor America.

NEW PHOTOIITHOGRAPHIC OR AUDELTYPE-PRO-
CESS 1t is said that entirely new and very snpe-
ror process for multiplying impressions from photo
graphic negatives mechanically has been invented
by Aube OF Cologne, and has been named after him.
in order to emphasize its entire independence of all
previous processes for a like purpose If it proves
to be all that is claimed forit, il viii doubtless in
crease the applications of photolthography. The
Use of organic substances, as gelatine and asphalt
tum, is altogether discarded, and no transferring
agent is necessary, the Photographic negative being
changed that it permits transfer to be made to
stone at any time in the simplest, cheapest and
most direct manner with the preservation OF all its
excelences, while the subsequent photographic
manipulations remain as usual. Ordinary lithO-
grapnc inks are used in printing and the operation
is much easier than with the usual transfers, since
there II no difficulty IN keeping open the finest rs
well as the heaviest hachuTing. The stone can also
be completely washed with turpentine without
iujuring the drawing or affecting the finest tnts in
ihc subsequent printing. Among the most decided
advantages OF the process may be mentioned: J. the
absence of all necessity for excessive nicely IN its

Persons of Importance.

Talk about persons ofimportance, will
you? There's no one equal to the family
baoy. Never king, or emperor, or
president with his power. He knows it,
too, before his tiny feet can patter over
the floor. lie is as sure of it as if he
knew every language ever spoken, instead
of none.
When he awakes in the morning, an
other sun rises; when he is carried away
for the night, he must kiss every one, and
every one rejoices in his kisses. His
eating and drinking. his walking and his
pantomimes are subjects for important
bulletins every day.
All, how strange that this important
being must one day be let down to the
position Of an ordinary boy, expected to
eat what lie set before him, and do as he
is told-perhaps to go into somebody's
office and be snubbed; that he should
come after a while to be a man. and find
no one very anxious as to his kisses
nay, TO have refused him occasionally.
Yet it's true If he lives, he will slide
slowly down to the ordinary level.
He'll be "our baby" no more, but oaly
a common human being, with faults in
plenty; and even ifhe should stand at the
top of the ladder, be a great soldier, a re-
nouned stasesman, a genius-no matter
what, he'll never be what he is now, a
faultless creature, whose will is law to
everybody, who has not an enemy in the
world, and lots Of lovers, and who has
only TO utter a series Of shrill shrieks TO
be called darling, smothered with Ca
resses, and comforted with flagons.

The Cheerful Face.

Next to sunlight of heaven is the sum
light of a cheerful face. There is no mis-
taking 1.-THE bright eye, the unclouded
brow, the sunny smile--all tell of that
which dwells within. Who has not felt
its electriiying influence? One glance at
this face lifts us at once out oil the mists
and shadows, away from tears and rcpin-
ings, into the beautiful relms OF hope
One cheerful face in a household will
keep everything bright and warm within.
Envy, hatred, malice selfishness, despon-
dency, and host of evil passions may
lurk around the door. they may even look
within, but they never enter and abide
there-the cheerful face puts them to
flight.
1t may be very plain face. but there
is something in it that we feel we can
not express, and its cheerful look sends
the blood dancing through our veins for
every JOY. We turn toward the sun, and
its warm, genial influence refreshes and
strengthens our failing spirits All, there
is a word Of magic in the plain cheerful
face 1t charms us with spell of eter-
nifty and we would not exchange it for
all the soulless beauty that ever graced
the fairest form.
1t may be a very little one that we
nestle upon our bosom or sing TO sleep in
our arms with a low, sweet melody; but
it has such bright, cherry face! The
scintillations Of joyous spirits are flash
ing from every feature. And what a
power it has over the household, binding
each heart together, in tenderness and
love and sympathy Shadows may dark
en- around us, but somehow this face ever
shines between. And it shines so
brightly that the shadows cannot remain
and silently they creep away into the
dark corners, and remain there until the
cheerful face is gone.
1t may be a wrinkled face but it is all
the dearer for that, and not the les;
bright. We linger near it, and gaze ten
derby upon it and say: God bless the
cheerful face! !" We must keep it with
US as long as we can, for home will lose
much brightness when the cheerful face
is gone.
And after it has gone, how the remem-
brance OF it purifies and softens our way
ward naturel When care and sorrow
would snap our heartstrings asunder, thi,
wrinkled face looks down upon us, the
painful tension grows lighter, anC
the way is less heavy. As is the spirit
mind and disposition. so are the features
