Am Eccentric German who spent
seven Hours at a BnnghOIe.
New York SUM-
Joseph Hammerschmidt, Of SO
Montrose avenue, Brooklyn, who
recently spent seven hours at the
bunghole of a cask of precious wine
to prevent the escape Of the liquor,
was married Yesterday morning to
a widow, in Holy Trinity church,
in Montrose avenue. Hammer
schmidt's custom had been, when
a cask of wine arrives from Ger
many, to shut himself in his cellar
with his favorite dog and bunch
of bologna sausage and cheese, and
spend the day bottling the wine.
On this bottling day he refused to
allow any one to remain in the
house except himself. His house
keeper spread his lunch in the cellar,
put his dog there, too, and went
away. When Hammerschmidt went
below he found the dog eating his
lunch. He angrily took hold Of
the animal, tied one end of a rope
to its neck and the other to the
Spigot of the cask, and raised a club
to beat him. The dog jumped the
full length Of the rope, and took
the spigot with him. The wine
spurted out in a stream, and Ham
merschmidt, dropping his club, ran
to the bunghole, clapped his hand
over it, and stopped the flow. He
then began to cry for help, but as
no one was in the house to heed
him, the echoes of his voice died
inside of the cellar. For seven
hours he called for help, and held
back the wine. At length, late in
the afternoon, his cries we're heard,
and he was relieved when he was
well nigh exhausted. The dog and
the spigot were going around the
cellar together out of the Germans
reach. Hammerschmidt made up
his mind to run no more risks, and
offered himself to the widow, who
accepted him.

escaped SO close an observation as to
make even its existence certain.
This is due to the blaze of the great
luminary, in the presence of which
all lesser lights are lost. But sew
eral astronomers have accidentally,
as it were, caught glimpses of a
small body rushing across the face
of the sun with tremendous velocity,
and Leyerrier has reasoned from
observed perturbations of other
bodies to the fact there is an UNI
known planet between Mercury and
the sun. 1t is possible that the
united action Of astronomers in all
countries may next month verify
the existence of this star.

Huxley aud the nible.

Philadelphia Bulletin.l
The commotion which Professor
Huxley has made among bible
students is uncalled for. It is not
necessary for them to accept or
combat his theories, for, SO far as
the bible is concerned, it makes no
difference whether or not the the
DRY of evolution is true. The bible
is not a work of science. It con-
tains no factsfor the geologist, no
information for the chemist, no
chapters on natural history. Its
writers give no attention to such
subjects. Their illusions to nature
are casual. They are the illusions
Of historians and poets, and Of his
torians and poets who had not the
light of modern discoveries. Divine
inspiration enabled the prophets to
foretell events with an accuracy
which has confounded skeptics Of
every age, but it did not tell them
that the earth was round. 1t
gave to the songs of poets q sub
Unity which distinguishes inspira-
ton from genius, but it did not
inform them Of a continent beneath
their feet, which had day when
they had night. 1t wrought mira.
cles in the conquest of the promised
land, but it did not cause Joshua
to amend his phrase when he
commanded the sun and moon
to stand still. The power of
the bible does not lie in
its accuracy as a scientific work,
and it is a power whose glory no
light of science can diminish and
whose foundations no scientific dis
coveries can shake. The study OIL
nature Is wonderful and absorbing,
but it does not alter the human soul
or change the human heart, The
power Of the bible is in its inau-
ence on the hearts and souls Of
men. Although evolution should
pass from a doubtful theory to an
accepted fact, the moral preoepts Of
tho Word of God would remain the
security Of society and the founda,
lion of law. The bible would re.
main the consider Of the sorrowing,
the friend Of the afflicted, the
strength Of the weak, the faint.
hearted and the Departing. II
would remain the guide Of Youth
and the companion Of age. II
would remain the textbook Of the
family, and the epitome of all that
is good and pure and grand, Thu
Is It's power, and it has stood harder
tests than the discoveries Of Darwin
and Huxley. 1t stood the
discovery Of Calico, that the earth
is o rolling ball, We can almost
pardon the wrath Of priests who
compelled him to recant, when we
witness the spirit by which, in many
quarters, Darwinism is received,

A Fret ch Local Item as Translated
by u Young Lady Graduate

The persons who passed yester-
day at seven hours of the night on
the bridge of the Concord perceived
an individual, bearing the costume
of a boy of office, who, after having
removed swiftly his coat, scaled the
parapet and launched himself in
the Seine. Some mariners threw
themselves Immediately into a bark
and finished by discovering him in
the herbs. This individual had re-
NAMED seven minutes below the
water and no more gave signs OF
life. The body was deposited on
the pontoon of the boats and there
two young folk, a student from the
military school and a student in
medicine, undertook the task of
combating the asphyxia. 1t is not
but at nine hours, that is to say,
after two hours of p~ersevering cases,
that they recall to life tho unhappy.

1t is announced with some au-

Qqt0ber Che little planet Vulcan
will make its first regular appear
ance to a terrestrial public, and the
star-gazing dilettanti are notified to
secure for themselves advantageous
points of observation. Some
glimpses have been had of this
vague star on other occasions; so
that this is only a debut in so far as
it is a regularly announced and an
ticipated appearance. Every planet
between the earth and the sun of
course goes round the sun oftener
than the earth docs and has a
shorter year. Mercury goes round
once in three months, and Vulcan,
which is still nearer the sun, goes
around him still oftener; and on the
many trips it has made every year
for SO many years it has hitherto

mination OF a long series Of devel-
opments from a mass of %quivering
slime, it musthave been with horror
that ignorant monks heard a theory
advanced which conficted with
more scriptural passage than Oar
winism touches. BY many clergy
men Professor Huxley has been
heard with patience as the exponent
of a theory which may prove true.
This is encouraging and in ac-
cordance with the spirit of the age.

A writer in the New York Sun
burlesques Professor Huxley's the
DRY hal certain animals evolved or
developed from birds, as follows:
l am an eyolutionist. l was an
evolutionist before | read Professor
Huxley's lectures, and now that l
have read them | am an evolution
list more than ever-a foreyerlution-
list, | may say or, if you choose,
an neutrality-suspicious..
My reason for being SO is this:
Among the direct proofs of evolu-
ton, neglected in Huxley's third
lecture, | will cite the niger. Sir,
the niger is the connecting link
between the ran and rooster. The
wool on his forehead and his pro-
pensity to fight by butting are sur
viyals of the ram, and his elongated
heels (aborted spurs) are survivals
Of the rooster. Nothing can be
clearer. Then again the well-known
niger song:
De ram blow de HON,
Aud de sheep shell de corn
Neber see de like sence | was bon.
This song, handed down from
prehistoric times, attests more con-
clusively his remarkable ram and
rooster origin. Sir, the evidence is
overwhelmingly complete.
JONES OF VIRGINIA.
P. Spy artificial selection of
the longest heeled niggers we can
easily restore the spurs; conversely,
by selection of the woolliest and
hardest-headed we can gradually
work back to the ram with horns.
