Garcia Moreno.

Dttlils of the assassination Of the
president OF Ecuador show that the
crime was one of unusual cowardico
and atrocity, even for Spanish America,
which is saying great deal. Senor
Moreno was a strong Ultramontane, and
had exercised q powerful influence in
the politico. religious affairs of Ecua-
dor. Under his manipulation, indeed,
the republic had practically become "a
theocracy. Ecuador was the one only
country in all the world that formally
protested against the italian seizure OF
Rome in 1870 Gnrcia's death at the
hands of party of assassins is natur-
ally supposed TO be the first outburst Of
a loDg-suppressed hostility TO the policy
of the dominant party in the state.
There are, however, rumors OF revo-
luton slumb bsring under the dead calm
that followed the death Of Moreno.

Sound COMMON SENSE you are
well, let yourself alone, One of the
great errors of the age is, we medicate
the body too much. More persons are
destroyed by eating too much than by
drinking too much. Gluttony kills
more than drunkenness in civilized soci-
ely. The gymnasium is a wood yard,
a clearing or cornfeld. A hearty
laugh Is known, the world over, to be a
health promoter it elevates the spirits,
enlivens the circulation, and is marvel
Bodily activity and bodily health are
inseparable. If the bowels are loose,
lie down in bed, remain there, and eat
nothing until you are well. The three
best medicines in the world are warmth
abstinence and repose.

THE FLORAL MARvELs. The Horti-

novelties among flowers, which il is
almost tempted TO treat as fables until
their verify is established by personal
inspection. The following is the de-

large blossoms, each one being nine

narcissus genus of bulbs. The flower
represents a perfect humminR bird.

throat, head, benk and eyes are perfect
imitation. The hinder part of the body
and the two outstretched wings are OF
a bright rose color-one might almoss
say flesh colored. These wondrouB
bulbs should have been sent 10 the Vi

BUNGALOWS FOR SUMNER HOUSES
An attempt has been made to introdue
into this country the kind of dwelling
house known in India as a bungalow.
For summer residence by the seaside it
offers advantages in which the ordinary
dwelling house is deficient; it is simple
in shape, is usually not more than ono
story high, and is covered by simple
low-pitched roof, which may be pro-
longed to form a veranda. What this
protection the inmates may pass most of
their time in the open air, and thus

under Pizarro, they found the natives
chewing the dried leaves, in exactly the
same way in which they have continued
| to chew them down to the present day.
| Efforts were indeed made, soon after
the subjugation of the country, to put
stop to the practice, for the plant had
acted an important part in the Peruvian
| religious ceremonies, and its use was
looked upon by the conqueror5 as an
obstacle to the spread of Christianity.
Nevertheless, the Indians persevered in
spite of every prohibition and severity.
Before lOpg, too, the owners OF mines
and plantations discovered that it was
to their interest to connive at the habit,
as, with its aid, their laborers were able
to perform more work on given guam
tity OF food than they could do without
\ it. 1t has thus gradually become the
universal custom to allow from fifteen
? thirty minutes, three or four times a
| 0c1y, for the purpose of chewing. At
thse times the first object of the In
dls1 is to make himself as comfortable
as lossible, for the coca fails to produce

ashes OF certain plants. When thus
engaged, the apathy he displays 10 ev-
erytHng around him is something mar
velous. No entreaty on the part of his |
employer will induce him to move, and, |
if he be confirmed coquero, he is in |
different even to d,enchipg rain or the |
roar of wild animals in the neighboring |
thicket. In what way the pleasures Of |
the coca-leaf manifest themselves is not
known, but they must evidently be of
a very seducing kind, thus to render
men insensible 70 personal danger.
Notwithstanding the wide prevalence
OF the use of narcotics, little or nothing
is known of the way in which their
different effects are produced On the
system; and the problem is complicated
by the number of active substances that
enter into their composition. Opium.
besides other more ordinary Ingredients,
contains no fewer than eleven peculiar
organic compounds, all of which are
to share in producing its usual

Lead us Not into Temptation,


The Rev. Julian Young's journal con
tains the subieined good story of po
lemical parishioner
In one of my ministerial rounds al
Fairlight, in Sussex, l visited Dame
Pankhurst-quite a character in her
way bluff, blunt, and shrewd, and close
on the verge of eighty. She was seated
at her tea-table, and, with knitted brows
and puzzled expression of face, was
poring over her baize. covered Bible.
AS soon as I entered she took off her
| spectacles, wiped them with her checked
apron, and deposited them on the chair
by her side, and thus accosted me ::
"Muster Young, tits very handy your
coming in just now, for be sadly put
about; and l amt, to say, easy in my
mind at summit as We been reading
in this here book. I've stumbled,
think, on one of the things, as Peter says
is hard to be understood She then
pointed to the first chapter of st James,
and desired me to read aloud for her
the second verse, which had so discoD-
certed her: Count it all Joy when ye
fall into divers temptations" When /
had complied with her request, she
stuck her arms akimbo, and, shaking
her head skeptically and defantly, asked
me "what I thought O. that If there
be meaning in them words, they mean
as we are to be glad to fall into tempta-
tions Perhaps there's summit moro
in the meaning of that word 'tempta-
tlon than | know on. Anyhow l can't
make head nor tail ont" She then
hung down her hi ad and repeated to
herself, in tones of dissatisfaction, al |
most of Indignation, the words, "tempt- |
a-tions tempt a-tions temptations, !
indeed What be um, I'd like to know?"
[ told ner that the word had two mean
ings-one signifying to allure or en-
tice = the other, "to try" and that in
the passage to which she had directed my
the word temptation meant
trial" That st. James, in writing
those words, was exhorting Christians
'' to be patient under trial ;" and that
though God could not directly tempt
his servants, yet that sometimes, as in
5he cases of Job and st. Paul, he per-
nitted them to be tempted, that by the
confirmation of their faith they might
win the greater glory, and therefore
nave the greater cause for Joy. In con-
irmation of my assertion, that God
could not himself directly tempt, how
sver he might be said to do so indirectly,
pointed her notice to the thirteenth
7erse ct the same chapter, on which she
airly exploded. "What dye mean ?
Ny mother taught me to pray to God,
Lead us not into temptation from the
lords PRAYER. The Master himself
ellis us, Watch and pray, that ye enter

1on 1on glad If we fall into temptations. {
Why are we to be warned against tempt s
tions, if, when they come, they are to :

MINERAL RESOURCES or GREENLAND.
When the Swedish polar expedition
was on it's way 10 the north in 1870, the
explorers discovered at Ovifak, on the
south shore of Disko Island, large
masFes Of native iron, of various BizeH,
up TO twenty tons, lying in n small
space among powders OF granite and
gneiss. Specimens were brought homo
and distributed among the mineralO-
gists of Europe, and the result Of their
analyses and Investigations ~, that
opinions are divided as TO whether those
blocks of iron came from the sky or the
earth. Some argue that they fell F.;
others, that they were upheaved from
below. IL is somewhat remarkable that
in the milder climate Of Europe tho
specimens sweat yellowish brown
liquid, consisting chiefly Of a salt ~
iron. One effect of the scientific dis
cussion above adverted to may be 10
direct more attention 10 Greenland, a
country worth attention, for its min

graphite, are abundant.

eliptical in shape the milk is received
in holes in the ground or in leaves
doubled up to form funnel. A tree
tapped in August will yield so ounces of
milk, giving 154 ounces of pure caout-
chouc. The milk is scanty during the
cool season, October to March. The
india-rubber is sometimes prepared by
stirring the milk in boiling water, when
the caoutchouc cosgulates. 1t is shipped
in baskets made of split rattan,
weighing about cwt. each. 1t is as
rule badly prepared, and mixed with
sticks and dirt. Mr.. Collins, in his re-
port upon this article, gives the import
of East Indian caoutchouc into London
as l BAT tons from June, 1871, to June,
1872. 1t is obvious that there is vast
room for improvement in the collection
of the juice and the treatment of the
trees, as we'll as in the manufacture of
the material and in organizing the
method of production.
