The Duke of Portland, who has given
such magnificent donations for the relief
of the sick and wounded in the East, is
a hypochondriac of seventy, with an in
come of $750,000 year. He suffers
from disfguring malady, and lives in
seclusion, whether at Welbeck Abbey,
his seat in Nottinghamshire, the most
famous of those places known as the
dukeries," or in London. In the latter
he inhabits a vast gloomy mansion in
Cavendish Square. The Duke can not
bear to be seen, and has erected at the
back of his house an immense screen of
iron and glass, which completely pre-
vents the neighbors from gratifying their
curiosity. 1t is said that after dark he
may be seen pacing the garden in the
midst of Cavendish Square. Neither he
nor his brothers, all dead, ever married.
One. of them, Lord George Bentinck,
who was cut off in his prime, was the
hope of the Tory party, and the first
turtle" in England.

A Tarantula's Nest.

The nest of tarantula (spider) has
been found in California of the most
singular construction. 1t is about three
inches in length by two in diameter,
built in adobes, the wall being nearly
half an inch thick. Inside of this is a
projection, which nearly divides it into
two apartments, about an inch in
diameter. The inside is lined with a
white downy substance, not unlike vel
vet, and presents one of the cleanest and
most tidy little households Imaginable
But the most curious part of it is door
which fits into an aperture, and closes il
Theoretically. The door is secured by q
hinge, formed of like fibrous substance
as the lining of the house, and upon
which it swings with freedom. The nest
is occupied by dozen little tarantulas
which seem to subsist on yellow
secreted substance, that appears upor
the walls of the front apartment. The
arrangement Of the door for the protec
ton Of the little inmates indicates grea
! instructive architectural knowledge.

THE Sheik-ul-Islam in Constantinople
has composed prayer for Turkish sue
cess, to be recited in all the mosques of
the Turkish Empire. Its expressions
against the opposing armies are not of
the most amiable kind. After praying
for the Turkish arms, it says: "Sweep
from the surface of the earth the infidels
who oppose us, thee, and thy holy and
only true religion. They are buried in
the gloom of impiety like hogs in a
swamp, and yet they dare to lift their
hands against thy faithful people and
thy prophet, Mohammed. Dissolve their
alliances, disperse their troops, break
their weapons, crush their forces, and
pitch them into the depths of hell
May they and their riches become the
prey of those who believe in thee and in
thy prophet, and with whom may re-
main the grace and benedictions of

Who Loves a Rainy Day.

The bored editor; who, in slippered

HOW THE TIDES ARE PRODUCED.

dOW THE ILDES AXE PRODUCED.
There has always been a difficulty in
the minds of teachers, as well as in the
minds of learners, to comprehend the
theory OF the tides as presented in our
textbooks. This theory fails to give a
satisfactory account of the cause of the
tides on the side of the earth most re-
mote from the sun and moon. Accord
ing to this theory, at that part of the
earth's surface which is turned away
from the moon or from the sun, less
amount of attraction is felt by her water
than anywhere else on her surface; and
the whole earth is therefore, in effect
drawn away from the waters on the far
side of her, and thus, the water being
left behind, tide is produced on this
side, as well as on the side at which the
force of gravity acts directly. That SO
great an absurdity should have been ac-
copied so long by our writers of text.
books is truly marvellous. 1t is, indeed,
so contrary to all known facts and laws
of physics, that if no other influences
are felt by the waters at the far side of
the earth than attraction, there would
be just the opposite effect produced to
that alleged by this absurd hypothesis.
This can be demonstrated by actual ex-
pertinent, and as conclusively as any
other fact coming in reach of expert
mental philosophy. 1t has been proved
experimentally that all bodies on the
surface of the earth at midnight are
heavier than at any other hour of the
twenty-four; and when the new moon
occurs at midnight this increase Of
weight or gravity felt by the matter on
this part of the surface of the earth is
still greater. Now, if this theory were
correct, attraction would produce just
the opposite effect; that is, matter would
weigh less at midnight than at any Other
hour of the twenty-four. On the side OIL
the earth facing the sun and moon, the
weight of bodies is diminished, as il

THE philosophy of evolution is illus
trated by the development of the germ
of invention. A worthy gentleman re-
siding in Washington, Pennsylvania, re-
Gently invented an oscillatory washing
machine. The elementary idea was
hardly formulated in his mind before it
took new and higher shape, and a
patent was issued for an oscillatory
churn. Another change in the process
of evolution renders possible the inven-
ton of an oscillatory cradle. Here the
ingenious man has paused; but has he
indeed reached the perfect type? Can
he not invent an oscillatory baby that
may be rocked in the oscillatory cradle,
fed from the oscillatory churn and
washed by the oscillatory machine
There are strong grounds for believing
that he can do it, for during his busy
career he has not only illustrated the
versatility of his talent by scores OF
useful devices, but has paid special at
tention to the conditions of infancy, in.
venting, among other things, a pneu.
matte mixer, a helm for children's sleds
and dental anasthetic applicator.

THIS principle of trying to catch
up" when work is behindhand, is the
bane of housekeepers. A woman with a
house to keep and family of children
to rear has a large contract on her
hands, and no matter how much she does,
the work she is compelled to leave un-
done willalways be in the large majority.
But if from day to day she meets the
pressing duties Of the day, that ought to
satisfy her. If, instead of trying to
anticipate all the work for the next week
and the next year, she simply does not
put off till tomorrow what might and
what ought to be done to-day, she should
allow herself to feel that she had done
enough.

Forty-second Street. Sir Edward Wat

the following recapitulation of estimates
by departments for the fiscal year end

appropriations made for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1873. Tqese figures are
produced below. The column under

WE feel called upon, as representa-
tive of honesty, to tremble for our
country. The populations of County
Treasurers and the perjury of managers
of insurance companies are becoming
alarmingly frequent. Even Boss Tweed
manipulates the bald spots on his head
in sort of dazed manner, when he
reads the papers, and begins to wonder
if he hasn't been maligned unjustly and
ill-treated by his too hasty countrymen
The most recent case on record is that
of DR.. Lambert, President of the Ameri-
can Popular Life Insurance Company, of
New York, who, on Thursday, was con-
victed of perjury in making false reports
on his books. His books were mass of
falsehoods and subterfuges The jury
are said to have agreed within two min
utes after they reached their room, and
to have only waited half an hour for
decorum's sake" Deeorum, on the part
of the jury in such a case, strikes us as
absolutely Chesterfeldian. What we
want on the part of our juries is less
" decorum," and more honesty and
straightforwardness. Decorum, no doubt,
has had much to do in acquitting rascals
who were worthy of the severest penalties
of the law. Don't stand on ceremony,
gentlemen of the jury, and, what is
more to the purpose, avoid bribery as
you would the flames of purgatory.

KY, thought he would intimidate a
colored man who was in the habit of
riding his horse without permission, by
firing wad of brown paper at him, in
fun, you know. The intimidation was
successful beyond Amerine's highest an
ticipations. The brown wad entered the
negro's heart, and hefell from the horse
a corpse. Amerine didn't even stop to
attend the funeral, having business else
where. Besides, he doesn't think this
good season to go blackburying any
how.

past few years have been studying the
antipOlal character Of democracy and radi-

stand thoroughly the difference. Democracy
is truth, radicalism isalIe; democracy is hon
est, radicalism is treacherous. The people love
truth and honesty, hence they are abandon
ing the radical party and are falling into
line with the democratic ranks. Democracy
rises like a mountain, lifts its head to the
skies, aefies the hurricanes OF malice, the
lightniDgs of hate and the thunderbolts OF
detraction. 1t rises and it lifts. Radicalism
burrows, cultivates deprayities, crawls like

like a dog. The people have an

ANDERSON AND HAYES.

Anderson, the Louisiana returning board
forger and perjGrer, has at last been SEN
fenced to the penitentiary. 1t is well. The
principles of truth and justice can not be
forever successfully antsgonized. With the
verdict, GUILTY., justice was re-enthroned
in Louisiana, and truth. though crushed to
earth, rose again, and millions of votaries
made the land vocal with their rejoicings.
The dark and damning deeds of the conspira-
tors are uncovered. Subjected to legal tests
they were stripped of the drapery of lies, and
in all their hideousness and repulseiveness
subjected TO the gaze of the American PEG
pie and the people Of all lands under heaven.
Anderson is the first one Of the infamous
gang to meet his deserved fate, and now
while the razor is being strapped to
shave his head, and while some
convicted felon is making his striped
clothes. and his cell is being pre-
pared for his reception, Hayes, who mount
ed into Office by the lifting power of the
forgeries and psrjuries Anderson committed,
Is preparing veto in direct conflict with
the will of vast majority of the American
people. We submit that nothing in govern
ment so entirely unique can be found in
history, sacred or profsne. The student
will doubtless at this juncture review his
readings for some recorded fact that will
seem in some measure TO modify the peo
pies scorn for Hayes by finding some trans
action that has served TO help man into
power&s essentially vile as that committed
by Anderson, but their search will be in
vain. Ii was reserved for America
