A Years Earthquakes.

Manifestations of internal force be-
meath the earth's crust in the shape of
either earthquakes or volcanic eruptiOns
occur on an average nearly three times q
week in greater or less intensity in some
parts of the globe. Such, at least, is the
conclusion to be arrived at from the COM
pila.ion Of all the recorded phenomena Of
this kind in the year 1875, lately pre-
pared By Professor Fuchs, and published
10 a German scientific journal.
Out of the three hundred and sixty five
days of that year, one hundred were
marked by terrestrial disturbances of
which authentic records exist, while there
must have been many shocks of more or
less violence in unfrequented portions of
the globe where volcanic forces are known
to exist. The most serious Of these OBJ
served phenomena occurred at Cucuta,
New Granada, on the 10th, 18th and 18th
of May, when several towns aud villages
were destroyed; at San Cristobal and
Guadalaxera, in Mexico, on February
nth; at Lifu Island, ia the North Pa
cifc, on March 9Sth; at Lahore, in the
Punisub; and at Porto Rico on the 18th
and 21st of December.
All these places, it will be observed,
are in the torrid zone, with the exception
of Lahore, which is only short distance
north of the Tropic of Cancer. 1t is esti-
mated that no fewer than twenty thou
sand persons lost their lives during the
destruction caused by these earthquakes,
while the damage to property was enor-

IT is stated that the occupants of 600
shanties along the lines of New York
railroads make living by raising corn
and potatoes on the ground between the
rails and fences. 1t is estimated that
1880 acres are cultivated in this wav.

and so unanimously passed. Every effort
has been and will be made, to reduce the
expenses on which this work of the Church
may be conducted. Already plans for this
purpose have been adopted, which propose
reduction of about 40 per cent.
In view of the whole subject We have no
reason for depression or anxious fOrebodings.

A New Testimony of the Rocks.

In the Southern Presbyterian Review for
April we find very interesting article un-
der the title of "The Cuneiform Inscrip-
tons" written, we understand, by Rev. DR..
B. M. Smith, of Union Theological Semina-
ry. The last Kentucky Presbyterian, in a
notice of the review, pays the following de-
served compliment to the article and its
writer:
1.-THE article in the present number, to say moth.
inc of the other five articles--entitled "A New
Testimony of the Rocks, or the " Cuneiform in
scriptions and Biblical history" is an admirable
introduction to new order of Biblical literature
which within the next ten years will loom up in
great prominence and will call upon our ministers
to enter into new department of reading and
thought. While the devotees of the physical
sciences during the past quarter OF century have
been absorbing the public attention, and calling
forth universal applause for their genius and inge
nuity in discovering new facts, new laws and new
applications of old facts and principles, the Arch@
oogists, almost unnotced by the world at large,
have been pursuing their quiet way in making dis
coveries no less surprising of the historical monu-
ments of the past, and displaying no less genius
and ingenuity in deciphering them. The names of
Rawnson, Oppert, Layard, George Smith and a
score of their compeers deserve to stand in no less
lofty place on the roll OF honor than the names
of Arrago, Aggassiz, Morse and Tyndall. The
death of George Smith, of the British Museum,
during the year past, though exciting little atten-
ton, is probably as great loss to the cause of
learning as the death Of any man in the last quar-
ter Of century.
But to return to our subject We earnestly hope
that the author of this article on the Cuneiform
inscriptions will not stop at the point he has reach
ed. He has evinced in what he has done, such a
fitness to deal with this important subject, that he
should 20 forward and finish his work. ;"
