\ SILVER BUsT.-A valuable discovery
has recently been made among the newly cx-
CGVGtcd ruins at Herculancum. IL is that OF
q female bust, life size, Of solid silver, and
IN an admirable state OF preservation. 1t
was supposed AT first to be a bronze bust like
many Others found at HeTcUlaneUm and
POmpcii. The bust when discovered was
surrounded by ScOriae, charged with sulphur.
which had a superficial effect upon the pre-
clOuS metal OF which ID is composed. and the
sulphuret OF silver formed on its surface had
blackened IT into the appearance Of an Orii-
nary metal. After il was taken to the
museum one Of the keepers was struck by its
color that differed 50 greatly from the
bTonZes around. He scratched the surface
and the silver rcappcared with its well
known br,l!iancy. This superb work of art
IS unique Of lis KIND, for il is the only one
that has been thus far discovered in the two
buried cities made Of this precious metal. II

A German military paper gives some
details of a new apparatus for iliuminat.
ing objects ut a great distances device
winch, we should judge, might be found
no less useful in peace than in war. The
apparatus furnishes very powerful
light, which allows ordinary writing to
be read at the distance of mile. The
idea was conceived of placing in front
of the apparatus mirror inclined to.
wards the horizon in such way as TO
reflect the luminous rays towards the
sky. The result was to project upon
the clouds luminous train which from
distance looked somewhat like comet,
and on which were successfully re.
produced the signals made in front of the
mirror. This magnificent experiment
was continued nearly. two hours, and as
a result the government directed that
tue apparatus should be transferred to
the artillery greunde OF Tegei, there, to
be submitted 70 various trials, the mill.
tary administration having the intention
OF purchasing several Of the. machines
Tor the land service and for the. navy.
According TO the North Germany Gazette
targets were lighted up by means OF this
apparatus considerably more than mile

Notwithstanding the wide prevalence

Notwithstanding the wide prevalence
of the use of narcotics, little or nothing
is Known OF the way in which their diff.
ferenJ effects are produced On the sys.
tenn; and the problem is complicated by
the number Of active substances that en-
ter into their composition. Opium, be-
sides other mose ordinary ingredients,
contains no fewer than eleven peculiar
organic compounds, all OF which are be-
lieved to share in producing its usual
effects. 1t has, however, been noticed
that many symptoms of narcotism bear a
close resemblance to those of insanity.
The wild laughter Of a man under the
influence of the deadly nightshade can
not be distinguished from that OF a ma
MAC, and the false impressions as to the
size of objects, caused by the Indian
hemp and the Siberian fungus, are a per-
manent feature in the malady of many
lunatics. 1t has been suggested by Dr..
Carpenter that much light might be
thrown on the connection between the
mind aud the body by studying the phe-
nomena OF drunkenness, and 1t seems
probable that those Of nareotism in dill
ferent parts of the world might be made
to yield equally rich results. OF one
thing we may be quite certain. The use
of tobacco has become q positive vice.
The wastefulness Of money which it
causes, without compensatory adyan-
tage, is alone Observation-Disclosures

THE prospects now are that England
will require greater proportion Of our
surplus grain than we have been eaIcu-
lating. A writer spoken OF by the Lon
don Times as "high authority" in that
Journal on Saturday made this estimate
"The publication OF the returns OF acre.
age exhibits the smallest breadth of
wheat we have had since the returns
have been taken, and half million acres
less than the average extent previous to
1850, when we had four millions fewer
people. The decrease In Ireland has been
fourteen per cent. from 1874, and in Great
Britain the decrease has been nearly
eight per cent"

In thepresent state OF the cotton good q
trade there is an object in endeavoring
to recover for American fabrics the mar
kets from which they have 80 long been
practically removed. The attempt has a
good chance Of success, as Great Britain
has had the advantages of cheaper labor
and better machinery, which she no
longer possesses.
Thus, while England obtains cotton
from other points to limited extent and
reduces her manufactures considerably,
there is no reason that 1t should affect
the price which our producers are to re-
ceive Tor their cotton. BY a proper en-
couragement OF home manufacture, and
by taxing advantage Of the openings for
securing foreign trade In manufactured
cotton, nun price may be realized for
cotton, and the money paid for Its manu-
facture also kept in our own country.
The trade authorities of Bombay, Cal
cutta and Hong Kong have protested
against the use of English manufactures
Of cotton on account OF their interlority,
and the trade of these and many other
places may readily be obtained for this
country If properly manipulated.

The question whether women shall
vote at the next election for President,
bids fair to become live one. The Fed.
eral Constitution empowers tie hegisla
ture OF each State TO fix the mode in
which the electors of President and Vice
President to which the State Is entitled
shall be appointed. The Legislature
originally chose the electors themselves,
but tor years past they have directed the
choice to be made by male citizens over
twenty-one years Of age. A committee
Of the Connecticut Legislature lately re.
ported unanimously bill to strike out
the word 'smale," and admit women to
vote for Presidential electors ON the
same terms with men. The House came
within dozen votes of passing the bill,
and its friends say they can gain enough
in twelve months to open the Presiden.
tial polls to the women OF Connecticut

weIl-wisher OF his race"
Holding the larger share OF the herit-
age of Gerghis Khan. and numbering
among its subjects most OF the Narlike
and pastoral tribes, whose ancestors
crossed the Danube elk centuries ago,
Sir Rutherford is of the opinion that the
Chinese can not safely be despised.
They are not likely, he thinks, to view
the Central Asian or any other Eastern
question Id which European powers are
occupying themselves without much
caring for the Emperor OF China, in the
same aspect as they do. These Euro.
pean powers, he thinks, may too long
have assumed, with something Of Chi
nese superciliousness and overweening
conceit, that "China has no future and
takes no heed" But the recent exter.
minating wars waged against their Me-
hammedan rebels on the southern and
western borders, and the march OF Chr!
nese armies, at present, to the frontiers
OF Turkestan, with the avowed intention
of wrestling 1T from its present rulers,
ought to teach an0ther lesson.-Balti-

Would Change In English Spelling be Re-

The Christian AZ Work is quite conf
dent that Epgtish ''phonetic spelling
would reduce the labor Of writing and
.type-setting tworftths," and that the
spelling OF a word ought to decide its
pronunciation. Now, phonetic spelling
can not decide the pronunciation of a
word unless accompanied with sys-
tematized vowel and other markings,
and these would probably increase
rather than reduce the labor Of type-set-
ting. III levery compositor must not
only know the correct orthography Of a
word, but its accepted pronunciation,
and must not only select the right letter
but the letter with the correct marking,
his labor would become perplexing In
deed. He would gain something In drop
ping the final from words like hate,
rate, etc., but must select the with a
long sound marking, or he would wholly
mIslead the reader as TO the meaning of
the word employed. Nor would the la
Dor OF writing be much abridged il 1t
were incumbent upon the writer to ac-
curately mark all his yowels aud conso-
nants having more than one sound, such
as q, Just as he now crosses his ts and
dots his ps. And when all were done,
when words are shorn of their silent let
lers, and all practical markings used, ,our
photography would still fail to indicate
accurately the correct pronunciation OF
words, because as soon as consonant
unites, with another letter IL usually
loses wholly or In part It's own sound.

The Carlists are said to have received
from an English steamer large guam
tity of munitions Of war. There pro-
baby are no fiuer troops of the kind in
the world than these Caflists, who have
for years maintained brilliant defense
against superior force. In the character
Of their war they recall our own Con-
federates. There Is the same devotion,
the same desperate courage, the same
brilliancy and the same poverty of re-
sources. The landing 81 this cargo at
Motrico is to the Carlisis what a suc-
cesstul blockade-running enterprise was
TO the rebels. 1t gives them what they
need immediatly the ost-ammunition
and arms-but is after all but temporary
assistance. Don Carlos needs more
than even feet loaded with powder
and rifles to enable him to win.-N. Y.
