THE ATLANTIC GAINING ON US.
Changes in the Earth's Surface.
From the Scientific American.


It has been proved that the whole
Pacific coast, especially California with
all its mountains, is perpetually rising,
and that at a comparatively rapid rate.
The land containing IL its bosom our
great American lakes is slowly sinking;
while Southern Indiana, Kentucky and
the surrounding states ale rising. Geo.
logical Investigations prove that our
great lakes, except Ontario, had form.
erly southern outlet; until, by gradu-
al northern depressions and southern
upheavels, northern outlet was formed
from Lake Erie into Ontario, about no.
900 years ago. This outlet, the Nigga
ra river, is still wearing away it's chan
mel. The division line of the watershed
south of the lakes and the Mississippi
Valley has since that time been stead
lily travelling southwark; and when Chi
cago recently turned the waters of Lake
MICHIGAN through the Chicago river, in
to the Mississippi Valley the old state
of affairs was artifcially re-established.
New Jersey is sinking, with New York
city and Long Island, at the estimated
rate or about Is inches per century.
The coast of Texas is ascending at a
comparatively very rapid rate, some OBJ
servers stating that it is as much as 40
or 80 feet in the last half century
Combining these observations with
the results of the recent deep sound
ings of the United States steamer Tus-
carora in the Pacific Ocean, we find
that the bed is evidently a sunken con-
tinent. Astounding in volcanic mountains
some II, 600 feet high. many of them
not reaching the surface of the ocean,
and others which do so forming the
numberless islands of the Pacific. The
study of the coral rocks proves that this
sinking has been taking place during
several centuries, and observations of
the coast viii undoubtedly reveal the
fact that it has not ceased.
The most eminent German geologist
and ethnologist now maintain that the
locality of mans primitive origin, the
SO called Paradise, was in the Pacific
Ocean south of Asia. whence the race
slowly diffused itself northward to Asia,
westward to Africa, and eastward to
Australia. When the great Pacific con-
tinent slowly sank, so that the ocean
commenced filing the valleys, man re-
treated to the mountains, which by con-
tinued sinking, were transformed into
islands, and now form the many groups
of Polynesia The insularity of the
thus preserved faces was not product
i've of civilization, which requires con
hict, in which the superiors in the end
gain the victory over the interiors. In
those islands, the inferior races were
served for want of this conflict, hence
their savage condition even at the present
day; while primitive.y the greatest adj
vance took place at the spot of the most
intense conflict the continent of South
ern Asia. ~

Andrew Johnson's Early Love Affair.
From the Greenvle Intelligencer, edited by An
drew Johnson, Jr.

"A lie
From the Greenvile Intelligencer, edited by An
drew Johnson, Jr.
In john Savage's "Life of Andrew
johnson" the reader is given the belief
that Mr.. johnson loved and was disap-
pointed in his affections by their object.
Such is not the case, SO far as the con-
clusion is stated. He did fall in love
with lady OF good family and estima-
BILE character. She responded in the
fullest degree, and both anticipated
great felicity in future life together.
The parents of the young lady, how
ever, objected to the marriage upon the
grounds of Mr.. Johnson's youth Che was
yet ID his minor years., and lack of
means. Upon h caring this, Mr.. John
son sought an interview with the
decision Of her err parents nax - and and
OF the course he himself had re-
solved upon. With his native high
principle, he said there was nothing left
to them but to part and forget what
they had been to each other. The lady
felt otherwise, and frankly told him
that she would go with him wherever
he might lead, and that she would not
.'oo,0a.o W u usI ner lie ana 1LS keeping
IN his hands. The strong pride and
love OF fair dealing of Mr.. Johnson
could not permit this, and, notwith-
standing his love, he denied the propo-
sltion, and left the place, only return
ing long years after, when the lady was
married and the mother OF family.
Thus 1T will be understood that the
lady did not prove faithIess and cause
any wounded feelings to the subject of
this sketch.

A HOhenzollern Spectre

Roger, the well-known French tenor,
IS publishing in the Paris Figaro some
fugitive "reminiscences of his career.
He sang, it appears, at the late Berlin
Opera House during the reign of the
great deal of attention from the royal
family. He mentions that his singing
induced the Queen for the first time to
witness a performance of ella Dame
Blanche. Her Majesty had hitherto
entertained dislike to this opera, as
the frequent apparitions of its 6 woman
in white painfully reminded her of the
traditional spectre of her husband's
family. This spectre was that of an
old woman with broom. When
ever any catastrophe was about
to happen to any of Frederick
the Greats descendants, the dismal
sweeping of the ghostly broom made
night hideous in the corridors of the
royal palace. It had been plainly heard,
the Queen believed, before the death of
the Kings predecessor, and it was dis
tinctly noticed before the outbreak of
lS40. 1t is evident that the possession
of this spectral sweeper gives the Ho-
henzellerns decided advantage in ell
international questions. If the late
Franco German war had been likely to
end disastrously to the Emperor Will
liam. it may be presumed that his fam
lily ghost would have given him fair
notice of danger. On the other hand,
if the Bonapartes had been fortunate
enough to own such an apparition, the
timely sound of its broom would doubt
less have warned Napoleon ILL., that he
was about to make a clean sweep of
both himself and his dynasty.-Pau

Scientific Rowing.


The New Haven Palladium gives the
following description ct inc machine
invented by Mr.. Kennedy, of the Yale
University crew, to illustrate muscular
action In rowing:
''This is rowing machine similar to
those used in the gymnasium, except
that the oar meets with no resistance.
The oarsnnan takes his seat as in boat,
and rows in any style he chooses; at the
same time there are three strings at
tached, one to the oarsman's shoulders,
one to The oar and one to the sliding seat.
These strings communicate with three
levers, which, when properly adjusted and
provided with marking points, register
upon white paper the motions of the
shoulders, arm and seat The marking
points are ordinary lead pencils, and
the white paper is attached to a board,
to which a uniform motion transverse
to that of the imaginary boat is commu-
nlcated by machinery. If the boat re-
manned stationary, the pencils would
trace only straight lines, but owing to
its motion registrations whichit receives
from the pencils are curves, whose con-
vexlty increases with the velocity. The
curves thus become accurate measure
ments Of the velocities of TIE different
parts of the body, and from these veloci-
ties many important conclusions are
drawn as the most efficient way of ap.
plying motive power to the boat. Mr..
Kennedys experiments to test the
comparative merits Of the ordinary and
tha EnpliSh styla of rowing ara IF
practical interest and value, and these
and other experiments he will illus
trate by drawings when he reads his
thesis. A drawing of the machine will
also be exhibited. He is known not
only as a skillful and powerful oars
man, but also as an excellent scholar,
and his thesis will be an admirable
comment upon the sound remaks made
by President Porter at the opening of
the boat-house, concerning the supe-
riority of brains and muscle over
muscle alone. 9ta

Pooling With a Whirlwind.
Faribault {Minn.) Democrat

A farmer who lives about five miles
northwest of F aribault, by the name of
Samuel johnson, was going along the
road recently, when suddenly a little
whirlwind, which described a circle ap-
parently not more than three feet in
diameter. appeared in the road in front
OF him. It took up the dust pretty
lively and buzzed like swarm of bees,
but Mr.. johnson kept on his way
directly towards it, thinking it had no
amount Of power. In fact. he did not
think it worth his while to step one
side and let it viii past, but kept
straight on and me it uare in the road.
When they came together the whirl-
wind seemed to drop everything else
and took hold Of Mr. Johnson, and in
less time than 1t takes to tell it, Mr..
Johnson had lost his hat and his shirt
and was pitched about 20 feet into the
gutter, feeling as though he had been
shocked by battery. It was a rough
experience, and Mr.. Johnson will never
fool with a whirlwind again.
The brave only know how to forgive;
it is the most refined ami generous pitch
of virtue human nature can arrive at.
towards have done good and kind &C.
tions- towards have fought, nay, some
times even conquered; but a coward
never forgave. 1t is not in his nature;
the power Of doing it flows only from
gre atness of soul, conscious Of it's own
force and security, and above the little
temptations of resenting every fruitless
attempt to interrupt it's happiness

. He is sure possessed, madam"
-TeoeJth Night.
If, when you hear certain lady's name,
You feel your pulses give sudden start,
blush, as If some secret sense of shame
Had stirred, Just then, the currents of your
heart:
And If that name-to put it rather strong
In euphony seems very much above
eli other names-I think I can't be wrong
To venture the opinion, you're in love
If, when at last, by some suspicious chance,
You meet the lady at q bail or play,
You shrink abashed before her modest glance,
And quite forget the words you meant to
say;
And if, moreover, us azing at her hand,
You wish upon that hand you were glove,
It isn't very hard to understand
(See Romeo and juliet y you're in love
II with two ladies, on a summers day.
You sit alone, at luncheon or at tea,
And think, if one of them were but away
CA mile or so), how happy you would be;
Yet find your wits in such a giddy whirl
You scarcely speak TO her you're thinking of,
But prattle gayiy with the other girl
There's reason for supposing you're in love
Ii, all st once, your amatory pen
(Which meier before attempted lyric lines,
Iacttd neuso-bane of gods and men!) -
To fervid song and madrigal inclines,
Wherein you rashly rhyme of "youth " and
truth, )"
A call your subject darling" duck" or
dove !"
Or sadly beg SOME cruel lady's ruth
The symptom is unfailing- CURE in 1ove
If OF her sex no other you can find 4
One half SO bright or beautiful as she
Ii to her failings you are wholly blind
Che faults, mean, that other people see;)
If in her 'pug you see g Grecian nose,"
And never doubt the angel bands above
Are silent when she sings-you may suppose,
Beyond the slightest question. you're in love /!
