entirely naked, rode strapped to the
horse in Mazeppa, aud the brilliant,
beautiful convcrsationalist, for
whose book Dickens wrote the pre-
face, and to whom the brain and
pride of Europe paid court, were
very much alike, both very fast aud
faithless. She found her destroyer
in herself, and died from too much
of herself. She said that her soul
would 60 to heaven through the
gates of Paris," but as her soul
would never have left its gay
salon if she could have prevented
it, it is doubtful if her prophecy
is fulfilled. The monument
over her grave was put up,
as George Butler once told us. by a
set of halffamisaed Partisan Bohe-
mians, and is probably unpaid for to

best known by the stone cutter. Ada

born wealthy, but with a bal streak
somewhere in her, which evinced itself
in her coming north and joining in
those carousals at Plans and the
Madison Doree, where those sweet
scented shrubs held forth. She was
hail-fellow- well-met with all, and
thought nothing drumming off on Il

Gus, clean-cut face and heavy blonde
hair always attracted the attention of
Broadway TO her, and there, quaffing
champagne at the Doree, or beer at
Plans she was wholly Indifferent to
all criticism. Her end was trouble.
She outlived all of her old associates,
but three years ago died from hydro
phobia, the result of the bite of pet
dog. Ada was the best of the lot of
bas rogues, for she was a focl, and
too good hearted to give any one

of tram of several prisms, through
which the ray OF light under exami-
nation can be passed by reflection
more than once. Bv these means
greater dispersion is gained; that is
to say, the resulting spectrum is
longer, and consequently far easier
of examination. A detailed descrip
ton OF the instrument would be i'm
possible without diagrams, but
enough has been said to enable the
reader to understand theoretically
its construction and application.
1t will be understood that we
have but lightly touched upon
phase of science which is at present
quite in its infancy. 1t is probable
that many more remarkable dis
coverics Will i'll course of time be
due to the prism. Already within
the past twenty yeais, tour new
metals have by its aid been sepa-
ratcd from the substances with which
they were before confounded; and
although they have not at present
any commercial value, we may tecl
sure that they have been created
for some good purpose not yet re-
revealed to us. There are signs
that the spectroscope will some day
become a recognized adjunct to
our educational appliances. 1t is
even now included nuder the head
of chemistry in the examination Of
candidates for university honors,
and there is no doubt that it will
gradually have a more extended
use. Many years hence, when gene
rations OF school boards have ban
ished ignorance from the land, the
spectroscope may become com
mon toy in the hands of children,
enabling them to lisp:

NEW YORH CITYS POPU

A New York correspondent says:
Apropos Of the population, we have
Il fine mixture under that head in
New York. There is hot race or
nation under the sun that has not
its due share in the sum total of
our cosmopolitan humanity. The
native element outweiyhs the for
cign by only tritle. OF the ], 100,
900 souls (allowing an increase Of
10000 a year on the 100000 in

York Island, aud the annexed por,
ton OF Westchester county, proba
bly, not over 100000, if so many,
como under the head of Americans,
and a large number of these claim
foreign parentage. Next to the
native element the Irish is the
strongest, though the German Ell.

French and Italian aggregate at
least $4,000, and possibly 90 above
that figure. This would leave 45,
600 to be accounted for, supposing
the whole foreign element to sun

dian, Scandinavian, Chinese, and
some odds and ends not easily
classified, foot up this number, or
very near it. The colorcd people
are about $4,000 strong, which is
considerably less than many PER-
sons suppose. New York is often
spoken of as the cosmopolitan city
of the world, and it. certainly &c.
serves the name. And by the way,
it is Il curious fact that, with tie
exception OF Godfrey Gunther, who
slipped into the mayoralty some
years ago in close contest, every
mayor that Now York has had
since the Revolution has been
native of American soil.

TIE SPECTROSCOPE ~
1STRONOX I.

The clusters of matter which
are called nebuIe, and which the
most powerful telescopes have re-
solved into stars, are shown by the
prism TO be nothing but patches of
luminous gas, possibly the first be
ginnipgs of uncreate9 wcrlds.-
Comet tails are of the same nature,
IA doubt existing as to whether
their nuclei borrow their light from
the sun or emit light of them
selves. We may close a necessa
riiy brief outline on this part OF
our subject by stating that it is
possible that the spectroscope may
some day supplant the barometer,
more than one observer having
stated that he has discovered by
its aid signs OF coming rain. when
the latter instrument told fatter-
ing tale Of continued fine wea' her.
We have merely shown hitherto
how the spectroscope is capable
of Identifying metal but its
powers are not limited to this /; for
by a careful measurement of the
length of the absorption lines, a
very exact estimate of the quanti-
ty presented can be arrived at
This method of analysis is Sc deli
cate, that in experiments carried
on at the Royal Mint, a difference
of Que ten'thousandth part in an
alloy has been recognized. Neither

AN UNREASONABLE FATHER.-A
curious elopement took place in Eng
lard the other day. An old gentle
man ran away with a young girl, and
to the great disgust o. her parents,
the couple were not causht until they
were safely married, aud all the indig-
nant papa could do was to upbraid his
daughter for marrying a man old
enough to be her. father /; much older,
indeed, than he was himself. A few
weeks OF happiness, or the reverse,
with her aged adorer, proved enough
for the young bride, who incont:Letly
ran away with young fellow she met
at foreign watering place. There
was, of course, great scandal, and
her father came once more to upbraid
her with the enormity of her behavior.
Really, papa" SAID the unreasonable
young person, "there's 10 pleasing

man, and now when have chosen
Young man, you are just as angry J"
The father was dIsgusted with her
moral obliquity, and left. her to her

I PRAY NR THEE.

When morn with radiant finger writes
Across the eastern sky her name,
And all the stormy legions flee
Before the day-gods golden face;
Ipray for thee.
When human hearts beat high with hope.
And mirth and music fill tie air,
And songs of 1gladness, free and sweet,
Are echoing 'rounl me everywhere;
I pray forthee.'
When frowning skies obscure the day.
And clouds of sorrow dafkly lower
Around anOther's destiny.
That ere was bright with joy before;
pray for thee.
I pray for thee when liz the West
The ''dusky sandaled eve'' departs,
In silent grace, and mystery
Leaving her peace within our hearts;

is distinctly seen, and the outskirts
and surrounding country far beyond
is spread out before you.
The highest point of the cathedral
is the
BALL AND CROSS,
and this we were foolish enough to
attempt to reach.
The ball is six feet in diameter
and capable of holding twelve per-
sons. It is surmounted by the cross,
which is Is feet high and over 5000
pounds in weight.
We now descend by the long and
circular flight of steps until we again
reach the body of the church. The
crypt yet remained to be visited, and
rs we gained admission to the stairs
leading to the vaults below, the
guide tarried, in order to complete
the number of the party, and in SO
doing turned the key in the door,
and from the first time since abroad
We found ourselves under lock and
key, and for full half-hour wander
ing alone among the tombs. The
vaults are very extensive, and divided
by immense pillars into three COM
partments. Some of England's great
est men are reposing here. Here
lie the remains of Sir. Joshua Rey-
nolds, Benjamin West, Dean Mil
ner, and others. In the South aisle
q plain slab reads as follows: "Here
lieth Sir Christopher Wren, the
Builder of this Cathedral Church of
st. Paul's, who died in the year of
our Lord, 1928, and of his age 81. F."
The chief objects of attraction
however, are the enclosed portion Of
the crypt, to which we were soon ad-
mitted. At a little distance from
the gate we approached the vault of
the Great Duke of Wellington. The
sarcophagus is of Cornwall Porphrey,
and bears the simple inscription:
Arthur, Duke of Wellington, born
May LIST 1863; died Sept. 14th 1852. +"
Near by we observe the funeral car
of the great hero. This is massive
piece of workmanship, and is made
from cannon taken in some of his
own battles.
A few PAGES further on in the
center of the crypt is the tomb of
Admiral Nelson. 1t is made ofblack
marble and simply inscribed: "Hor-
alto Viscount Nelson" The exam
ination of a few more objects of
interest completed my visit.
On another occasion it was my
privilege to attend one of the Sabbath
services at St. Pauls. The choral
and responsive service was to me of
great interest, but the sermon did
not come up to the measure of my
