Edward Horton, his deceased sis

These are "harl times I'll tell
you the reason why. The nation is
spending more money for iutoXicat-
ing drinks than for all the bread it
eats and all the clothes it wears, al,
the books it reads, or all the churches
it has ever built. If every one OF It's

Dom Pedro's Interview With Literary
Ladies'.

A correspondent of the New York
Herald says that at Chicago four enter
prising American ladies, connected in
some way with the Centennial, sue
ceeded in obtaining an interview with
the Emperor. They were headed by
Mrs Willing, editress of the Women's
Temperance Union. His Majesty was Gu
rious to zee the lady representatives of
the press. and received them very kindly.
The interview promised well at the be-
ginning, but it turned out that only two
of the ladies belonged to the press, while
the others were merely curious. One of
these incidentally remarked that she had
been anxious to see the Emperor of Bra
zil because a relation of hers was one of
His Majesty's subjects. With his usual
politeness the Emperor inquired in what
part of Brazil this relation dwelt, when
the lady innocently replied that she
thought it was in Valparaiso. With a
wicked smile the Emperor reminded her
that Valparaiso was not in his dominions,
but in Chill, and the lady seemed quite
Disconnected but the effect of the blum
der On the literary ladies was terrific.
1t fell like a bombshell, and, like a
clever tactician, Mrs. Willing rose, and
with pretty speech withdrew her COM
panions, evidently afraid that terrible
Valparaiso woman would speak again
and make new blunder. This accident
delivered His Majesty from the terrible
lady interviewers.

A Mutiny ON the Pacific.


The British steamer Crocus landed
eight hundred and fifty Cinnamon at
San Francisco lately, and according to all
accounts they were horribly ill-treated
on the passage. The captain said that
two days out from Hong Kong revolt
broke out among the Chinese passen-
gers, which for time endangered the
lives of all the officers and crew. Among
the passengers, he said, were large num-
Der of desperate characters picked up
from the slums of Hong Kong and
Canton and shipped to this country to
serve out term of hard labor in the
different companies. Three or four of
these desperate men acted as ringleaders
among the other passengers, and melted
them to a general revolt in order to get
possession of the ship and return, if
possible, to their native land. 1t was
with the utmost difficulty that the
captain could restrain the coolies from
committing acts of violence. Many of
them were armed with knives, and not a
few had revolvers. Seeing that his own

The Geography Of the Future.

Thus it is seen that as certainly as
terrestrial revolutions continue in the
course Of ten thousand years there must
come entire reversal of polar conditions.
The Southern waters must be drained off
to make the ocean of an opposite hemi-
sphere. New lands, enriched with the
sediment of hundred centuries, will rise
up to extend the borders of the old South
continents, and islands, joining together,
will expand into mainlands. At the
same time the Northern continents must
be, in great part, submerged, and their
submits and ranges become the bleak is
lands and the bold headlands of tenn
pestuous ocean. Central Asia, with its
broad table lands, may still retain the
name of continent, but, beyond few
outlying islands, there will be no Europe
and but little of North America left. The
Atlantic waters will stand five hundred
feet over Lake Superior, and wash the
base of the Rocky Mountains in all their
strength. A new Gulf stream may again,
as it must often have done before, flow
up the Valley of the Mississippi, return
ing the deltas to the prairies, and re-
naming the beds of the gardens of the
world. These are no idle or impossible
fancies. Not only are they the results OF
vigorous calculation, but they accord
perfectly with the unmistakable evi-
dence which the ocean has left all over
our land of its recent work and presence.

Delicacy of Astronomical Calculations.

But how large space on the surface of
the sky will be covered by an astronomi-
cal second? could give the answer to
this question no doubt from my own cal
culations, but prefer doing so in the Ian
guage of men who speak with authority.
6 A second is the dimension to which
would be reduced a circle one yard in
diameter, carried away to distance Of
one hundred and eighteen miles from the
eye. This appears to be less than moth
ing it is equal to the thickness of hair
stretched at distance of seventy.four
feet from the eye." Thus speaks a
Frenchman of distinction. Another
writer, in English this time, defending
astronomers from blame for making so
great mistake in measurement as the
third of second, which resulted in cal
culating that the suns distance is ninety.

THE lion is set down as something else
than the king of beasts" by Professor
Samuel Houghton, in Nature. He says:
"I have proved that the strength of
the lion in the fore limbs is only SO per
cent. of that of the tiger, and that the
strength of the hind limbs is only 65 9
per cent. of that of the tiger. l may
add that five men can easily hold down
a lion, while it requires nine men to
control tiger. Martial also states that
the tigers always killed the lions in the
amphitheater. The lion is, in truth, a
pretentious humbug, and he will run
away like whipped cur under circum-
stances in which the tiger will boldly
attack and kill"
DIR. Livingstone held an equally low
opinion of the lion. He remarks that
no lien can Withstand for a moment the
vigorous assaults of an enraged buffalo
bull. England will have to select some
other animal to symbolic her power and
courage.

Majestic on the wave
The ocean empress rides;
For her the sea- q willing slave,
Rolls forth his crested tides.
Dashed from her breast she heaves
The quelled and trampled foam;
Her glorious track behind she leaves;
Speed her, ye waters, homel
All, gentle, cruel main,
The freighted treasures beari
Voices thou hast like summer rain,
Or virgins murmued prayer.
From out thy cave, o sea,
Breathe them in music's sound,
Toned to their hearts true harmony,
The glad, the homewaId-bound.
Joyi joy the glooming mist
She cleayes with landward bow;
Coyly the billovs, lightly kissed,
Leap from her arrowy PROV.
joy beams in woman's eye,
And laughs in childhood's mirth
And manly hearts give fond reply
For thee, o mother earthl
Sovereign Ger vanquished fear,
The lord of pride and power,
Man in his glorious strength is here,
This Is his triumph's hour.
Hush hush what shock Ct dread
Distorts his blznching brow?
Stern as the bolt Of death 1t sped;
o man, what art thou novf
Thou saidst I" kingn thou vast
On oceans stormy thrsne;
Now he is strong and fierce and vast,
Thou powerless alone.
Lei with resistless grasp,
This wide, relentless sea
Folds like toy in icy clasp
Thy shattered bark and theei
God rules upon the deep;
There He alone is king;
The wild, wild waves that Ger them SWEEP

Woe wou thousand homes
Their coming wait in vain,
And far and wide above them glooms
The desert of the main.

AT Alexandria, Virginia, stands the
old church in which Washington used to
worship. 1t was begun in 1765, and
consecrated in the year 1773. The walls
are twenty-five inches in thickness, and
the bricks were all brought from. England.
Two sides of the church are so thickly
covered with ivy that the shutters can
scarcely be opened, and the stems of the
ivy are like young trees. An old style
churchyard surrounds it on three sides,
the ancient tombstones containing many
quaint epitaphs and orthographical
puzzles. Within, the pews are very
straight and high, the one occupied by
Washington being larger than the others.
On one side of the pulpit is marble
tablet sacred to the memory of George
Washington on the other side, and ex-
actly similar, is one sacred to the
memory of General R. E. Lee, both
placed there since the ewar. The Masonic
Lodge room in which Washington 50
many times oficiated as Worshipful
Master, situated in street running off
from King, is remembered by person
VINO visited it in 1852, just before the
battle Of Antietam, as carefully pre-
served in all its antique habiliments,
including the straight backed chair and
gavel used by Washington.
