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 a
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
pilation Of all the recorded phenomena OF
this kind in the year 1875, lately pre-
pared by Professor Fuchs, and published
in German scientific journal.
Out of the three hundred and sixty-fiv
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 18th, 18th and 18th
of May, when several towns and villages
were destroyed; at San Cristobal and
Guadalaxera, in Mexico, on February
18th; at Lifu Island, in the North Pa
ciic, on March 2Sth; at Lahore, in the
Puniaub; 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-
mous.-Lond0n Times.

TIN,AND WHERE IT'S ORES ARE FOUND.
Tin is one of the earliest metals known,
which is contrary to what, not many
years ago, was the general opinion of
scientific men. The researches, however,
which within the last twenty years have
been instituted with regard to the earli-
est races inhabiting Europe, have con-
clusively shown that weapons and imple-
ments of bronze Gan alloy of tin and
copper where probably the metallic arti-
Giles earliest in use, after those composed
Of copper alone, and before the intro
duction Of iron.
In the curious "lske dwellings" dis.
covered in Switzerland, not only bronze
implements, but bars of pure tin have
been discovered. The proportion of
tin varies from four to twenty per cent,
about ten per cent. being the most COM
mon.
The principal present sources of tin
are first, Cornwall, where it is now al
most exclusively obtained from mines
instead Of washing or "steam works."
second, Saxony or Bohemia, in small
quantities, and exclusively from mines /;
third, Banca and other islands of the
Malay Archipelago, the Malay Peninsula,
as we'll as parts of Hindostan and Bur-
NAH; all the productions from these (now
furnishing the greater part of tin COM
merce) known generally as "Straits tin"
being derived from steam works; fourth,
New South Wales, Queensland, and other
parts of Australia, together with Tas-
mania, Spain, Bolivar and Mexico, also
furnish (or have lately done SOY some
portion Of the tin of commerce. Green
land, Japan, Finland, Siberia, Iceland
and Madagascar, and some other locali-
ties, have also yielded tin In greater or less
quantities.-Aining Record.

Domestic Bliss.

There is sacred spot on earth,
Which antedates our joys above;
IT'S where we sit when toll is DER,
With those We love.
Oft, in my waking dreams, l sit,
With the dear darlipgs of my life,
And gaze upon those treasured gems
My child and wife!
The deeting pleasures of the world,
Like darkening shadows fade away,
And gives US glimpses of the bliss
Which scorns decay.
oh, welded love! Gods dearest gift
To render all his creatures blest,
It's only, meath its smile we taste

station master. I turned on steam, put
the lever over another "notch," and the
race began in earnest.
1t was an exciting race, and one never
to be forgotten. On rolled the flood. We
were running "neck and neck" for one
terrible half-minute. Now the resistless
flood bore directly to the bridge. Stones
were rolling before it like marbles.
Trunks of trees, haystacks, debris of
every description came headlong down
upon the doomed structure. We fled
like lightning over the rails. Our speed
told now. Sparks flew from the chin
ney. Another "notch, the beat of the
piston quickened to an almost inconceiv-
able rapidity. We were on the bridge.
Hurrah! The curling wave beneath
seemed to spring forward. 1t broke
against the buttresses. In second we
were across. I shut of steam, the station
master put down breaks. A tearing,
rending sound that was not the brakes =
a crash! We looked back. The line
dropped behind us like stage-trap. The
bridge gave way, and with roar that
was heard two miles off the pretty via
duct was swept away by the boiling, flu
rious water.
We were truly thankful for our narrow
escape. And now to save the excursion.
Speeding forward again, whistling like a
demon, our engine-Vigilant by name
soon came in sight of the excursion train.
By waving our red flag we averted an
other danger-a collision. The telegraph
posts being down, trains had to run upon
the same line as far as Handleigh, but
our timely action was all set to rights at
last.
We soon gave the bewildered passen-
gers to understand the narrow escape they
had had. Fervent and sincere we're the
thanks we received from all, except one
man. He was escaping from justice, and
was captured. From the elevated en-
bankment we could trace the course of
the food for miles. The train was put
back to Handleigb, whence the passen-
gers were forwarded by another company.
By the time we had arranged matters
and returned to the broken viaduct, the
water had subsidized. A footway was con-
structed across the muddy river-bed, and
trains stopped at both sides of the stream,
the passengers exchanging from one to
the other.
The aspect of the country as I retraced
my steps was deplorable. could
scarcely recognize the places had passed
in the morning.
l found McCausland and his staff at the
reservoir awaiting me. He wrung my
hand fervently, and said certain words
that shall not easily forget.
The viaduct was quickly rebuilt, but
the station master at Ammering does not
forget the race of steam versus water on
the Vigilant locomotive. Nor do l.

The same services, in commerce, man
ufactures, and other tasks performed in
cities and towns, which less than one
fourth of the whole population sufficed to
perform in 1850, more than one-third of
the entire. population was'struggling and
crowding for opportunity to perform in
1870. At the ratio of 1850, the popula-
ton sufficing for the cities and towns of
these States should have been only 5,614- :,
243 in 1870, and, though many changes
in our industrial condition have justified
some change in the proportion, it is in
disputable that we have gathered by far
too large part of the population into
towns and cities. There they crowd and
crush each other, fighting desperately for
the work which is not enough for all, and
wasting no small share of the industrial
force and productive power, which, right
ly distributed, would add to the nation
prosperity. Beyond all doubt, this over
crowding of civic employments, this dis
proportionate massing of the population
in places where hundreds of thousands
must struggle in vain for work, has been
an important cause of recent prolonged
disasters.
The remedy Mr.. Greeley taught 1t:
"Go West, young mani" Look at the
advertisements offering free of first cost
millions of acres to actual set
tiers. A single company, the Union Pa
cific, is now offering in other columns
10000 acres of rich land in Eastern
Nebraska, in the great Platte Valley
"free homesteads to actual settlers;'
while the Central Pacific has been SINH
larly advertising the varied attractions of
California, the labOrer's Paradise; and
yet the crowding and crushing mil
lions in Eastern towns still struggle,
suffer and die. Happily for them thou
sands have found homes, permanent labor,
and sure subsistence on these Western
lands. There too, they have found de-
gree of independence which few can find
where all the paths are overcrowded and
every door is "barred with gold" or
opened only as favor. Why it is that a
much greater number, warned by pro-
longed prostration in business, have not
migrated from Eastern towns to the safe
ty, independence, and prosperity of the
Western farms, who can tell?-N. Y.

FEED HIM FIRsT.-The city papers
publish an account of tailor who, being
out of work, walked all the way from
Newark, n. j., to New York in search OF
employment. Not finding any, he re-
turned to Newark, as he came, on foot.
Soon after his arrival there he fell to the
ground in state Of Inconsistencies, pro-
duced by hunger and exhaustion. On
being restored he stated that one piece OF
dry bread was all he had eaten in two
days.
Surely, stringent as the times are, there
cannot exist any necessity for suffering
like this. Provisions are plenty, and
hearts are not so cold that those in want
need to starve. The difficulty is that
while many prefer begging to working,
those who are really reduced to the great
est straits for food are often ashamed to
beg. But when human beings are actu-
ally reduced to state of starvation in
this land Of plenty, they have only to
make their necessities known to have
them relieved.
1t is painful to reflect upon suffering
like that of this poor tailor. Nor does it
matter that such misfortunes are general
~ the result Of the follies and faults OF
those who endure them. The first thing
to do for man who 10 starving 10 to feed
him. Lectures on domestic economy do
not properly come in order until after

Where to Find Work.

In all the cities and towns in these
hard times there is much suffering. The
number of the weary unemployed is very
large. Strong and brave men wear out
their hearts as they see wives and chill
dren in want, and after months of vain
searching for employment too often are
tempted to crime or maddened to suicide.
Yet the land is broad enough for all, and
millions Of acres which will yield sure
subsistence to patient workers lie waiting
for any man to till them. Our cities are
overcrowded. The growth of rural pop
ulation has been slow, while the towns
have advanced with rapidity far exceed.
ing the demand for such service as can
be rendered at the centers of population.
In 1850 the rural population of the north
ern free States-the newer States, Kansas,
Nebraska, Colorado, and the Pacific
States not being included, of course
was 1O,2OS, 1877, or 761s per cent. of the
entire population of those States. But
the changes since that time, as shown by
successive census reports, have been re-
markable, and indeed alarming. The
following shows the population living in
cities and towns and in the country, with
the proportion of each class to the total
population:

warm speech in favor OF the temperance
cause. After be closed, and while the
audience were singing, fourteen persons
responded to the invitation to sign the
pledge.
At the same hall, last night, a pretty
fair audience assembled and listened to
Gus WIncher, Samuel Cragton and Capt.
John Bags talk temperance. While
Capt. Bsggs was talking the alarm OF:
fire was sounded, which caused little
confusion, but quiet was sooE restored
and all joined in singing "Hod the Fort"
