The Hot Springs Commission.

Washington correspondence OF the
Baltimore Sun: The omission Of the
clause relative to the Hot Springs Of
Arkaufas from the sundry civil bill con-
tinues to be q matter of much comment.
A democratic member of the conference
committee on the bill expressed to-day
the belief that the commission was de-
signedly done, and said that he thought
that it would end in landing some par
ties in the penitentiaIy. All the mem
bers of the conference committee, DEM
ocrats and republicans, have united in
request to the president that be exc
cute the provision as it was agreed to by
both houses, and that they will under
take to protect him. 1t was said by the
members of the conference above al
luded to that some Of the old claimants
of the Hot Springs property had been
very active all this session endeavoriDg
to prevent any legislation in the interest
of the government, and it Is believed
that this interest had something TO
do with the singular omission in the en-
rollment of the sundry civil bill.

Is there a Hole in Mercury Are all
the Planets Rings!

Afr. Richard A. Proctor, the eminent
astronomer and eloquent lecturer, gives
q report 10 one OF the English papers OF
his personal observations OF the recent
transit OF Mercury, made with an eight
and one.half inch reflector, and notes a
very interesting il not remarkable dis
covery. He says:
A bright spot was seen on Mercury's
disk. 1t appeared to me perfectly cen>
trail and OF sensible magnitude. My
eldest daughter, who observed with me,
described it ss a mere point, and quite
central, as il the disk we're q round piece
OF black card, and the bright spot were a
hole pierced through with the compass
point in striking out its circular outline.
| noticed one feature in the bright spot
which seemed to me decisive as to its
subjective nature; when a small cloud
passed over par of the suns face, nearly
the whole of which was in the field OF
view, the bright spot perceptiply waned
in brightness, though not crossed by the
cloud. This noticed distinctly several
times Another feature - perhaps a
mere illusien--was that II seemed 10 me,
as the spot thus wsxed and waned in
brightness, that it was triangular in
shape. | could not distinctly recognize
this REGULARITY when the luster OF the
spot was ready. The aspect of the spot
was not perceptibly modified when the
telescope was released from the driving
clock and Mercury allowed 10 approach
the edge of the rather wide field OF view.
We published in the Scientific Amer
icsn several years ago the vsgaries of
backwoods philosopher to the effect that
our earth had contral cavity OF
enormous dimensions, extending from
pole 10 pole, through which the ocean
waters sbbed and flowed and he de-
clared that whenever any ship could
reach the north pole it might sail pls-
cidly into the foresaid cavity and reach
the bowels of the earth, where strange
race of human beings would be found
living in peace and happiness with
other maryels in multitudinous num-
bers
In view of Mr.. Proctor's discovery,
the knowledge that Saturn has planetary
rings the fact that when q mill. pail is
whirled like Jupiter the liquid moves
outward, leaving an opening in the
center, who knows but Mercusy has q
hole through it, and that the bright
spot seen by Mr.. Proctor was simply the
sun shining through the aperture II
Mercury is tublar, may not the earth be
alsos This is one OF the questions that
Capt. Hewgate or Mr.. Bennett have be-
fore them Tor solution in carrying for
ward their polarexpeditions.

and Froude, in reproducing it, declares
Julius Casar and Tacitu. We copy it
as a historical curiosity, to show that,
with all their ingenuity, modern ma
terialists have not succeeded in giving
US anything better or radically different:
Death is nothing, for where death is
we are not, Before we were bgotten,
empires were convulsed provinces were
wasted with fire and sword nations
were sunk in wietchedness. We knew
nothing OF these cilamities. Tney touch
US not. We could suffer nothing, for
we were not. As it was before we began
to live, 80 it will be again when we have
ceased to live. Storms may roll over
the earth, land may be mixed with sea
and sea with sky. We shall know moth.
ing of it. The substances OF our bodies
will be in other forms, with other souls
attached TO them. New beings will
have come into existence, TO live and
pass away as we did. But those beings
will not lie u.s. The continuity once
broken is broken forever. We shudder
when we io,k upon.,a corpse. Weimsgine
that when our bodies are corrupting we
shall be in some way present and con-
scious OF our own decay, but we shall
not be present. We shall not be any
more. We shall not suffer any more.
"Ah !" some one says, "must | leave
my wife and children aud my pleasant
home? Must all be taken from me ?"
They will not be taken from you, for
you will have no being. You will not
miss them. You will have no regrets or
vain longings for what is gone. Your
friends will lament tor you. You will not
lament for them. You will be in peace
Why, then, unhappy mortal" says
Lucretius to the vain complsiners,
"wby do you grieveY Why cry out on
death 7 Has your lie been hsppy, the
banquet IL over; you have taken your
fill depart and be thankful. Have you
been unfortunate, has life brought yeu
sorrow and pain, why wish for more of
itY Life and sorrow end together.
Would you live forever9 The terms of
human existence do not alter. Had
you thousand lives they could bring
you nothing new. You would but tread
again the same circle. As it has been
with you, 50 it would be, though you
could repeat the process 10 eternity.
This 10 natures sentence, and who shall
gsinsay her3 Dry your tears. Peace
with your idle whines. U-e your time

and il will be gone. The ages before you
were born are mirror in which you can
read the ages to come The past has no
terrors in 1t. The future has none,
unless you create them for yourself.
Real, indeed, they are to you as long as
you anticipate them. Tityus Sisyphus,
Cerberus and the iuries the thought OF

you believe in them. Know these spec.

your own fears, and be at rest. Who

than you will be have lived, and are
gone. Accept your tate. There is no
