age wealthy and benevolent persons who may de-

dead. About $4,000 has been thus added to
the resources OF various excellent and trustworthy

make will than it did-a will, we mean, which

The announcement of Sir Stafford NOrtheOte
that war may yet arise in connection with the
Eastern Question is invested with much gravity,
whether it is based on distrust of Russia or
is intended as a political stratagem. In either
case the declaration betOkens the return Of
that state of suspense and alarm which is
little better than actual war.
BY placing the enthusiasts on trial who at
tempted to hold sOciallstic WOrkmen's con-
gress in Paris, the French Government will
do much to convince European politicians
that there is a broad difference between re-
publicanism and cOmmunistic schemes. 1t runs,
however, the risk of imparting political i'm
poEtance to agitatOrs of the Kearney type
by making them State prisoners IndIffer-
enee alone is fatal to such people.

Illinois, which, eight years ago, Mr.. Greeley
called a "rccent beginner" in the pursuits of
industry, has advanced so very far in the pres
ent decade as to be desirous of carrying on a
direct trade with the outside nations of the
world, without the Intervention Of the facili-
ties afforded by the older States Though
only 90 recent beginner" in commerce, and
having little to show in the way of
achievement, it must be confessed that
the activity of her merchants is great, and
that if One-tenth of the plans which have
been proposed Tor direct commerce with for
eign nations should succeed, her advance IN
this department of business would be as re-
markable as it has been in that Of manufac-
turing. A large party of Chicago merchants
has been organized to visit Mexico, and
plans for trade with South America
are under consideration. 1t is now announced
that there is talk of q steamship line to Eng
land. to run from Montreal in Summer and
Portland in Winter to carry grain and cattle.
But the metropolis of Illinois is not so well
situated for foreign commerce as some OF the
older cities Of the country, and her merchants
should count well the cost before embarking
in schemes in which they will have to com
pete with powerful rivals.

The announcement that Secretary Eyarts,
who has always been one of the most cticc-
tive of Republican orators, will speak at
Cooper Institute tomorrow evening, at 8
o'clock, upon National ISSUES, will be GER
tam to fill that building 10 its utmost caDac-
ity. Mr.. EyartS's campaign speeches, by their
force and earnestneSs, by their play Of wit
and power of delineation, make epOchs in
politics and he comes now, as his habit Is,
at a time when his words can give great
impetus to the Republican canvass. There
is only one Republican party in the
State of New-York this year. BY pa
triotic common consent the nOn-esseutials
on which Republicans differ have been ignored,
and there has been a hearty union upon the
one esSential-the necessity OF maintaining
the public credit inviOlate. Under this one
watchword the whole Republican party of this
State is fighting, and by that sign it pro-
poses to conquer. Mr.. Evarts has 1t in his
power to speak with rare effect, not only to
his own party, but to his opponents, whose
party ties are somewhat lOOsened by The de-
fectons from Democratic principles which are
to be seen on every hand and he will not
fail to improve the opportunity.

Smoke Consumers.

The Cincinnati Gazette describes a
plan in use in that city for consuming
the smoke of furnaces of steam-boilers.
There are, it says, two fires, one under
each end of the boiler, fed from the side.
When one fire is fairly burning the Sec
ond fire is kindled, and by shifting the
draught the smoke from the new fire is
carried over the live Goals in the fur
mace first started, and is consumed.
The fires thereafter are replenished al
ternately, and thus the consumption of
smoke is continued. The device is in
operation on large scale in the steam
furnaces of heavy engine attached to
one of the inclined plane railways that
lift Cincinnati people to the tops of the
surrounding bills. The result, as vouch-
ed for by the proprietor of the concern,
is that the consumption of smoke is
complete, and the saving of fuel about
40 per cent.

Educating the Chinese.

For some time past the general opin-
ion (based upon the testimony of those
who were supposed to know whereof
they affirmed, that the Chinese were not
susceptible of Improvement, has been
accepted without any serious efforts to
determine its reliability. Mr.. David
Jones, who, for two years, has been
laboring as a missionary among the
Chinese at Evenston, Wy. T., has COM
menced mission school in third.story
room of Farwell Hall, in Chicago. He
has enlisted the sympathies and aid of
a number of young ladies and gentle
men in their behalf, and already, in two
weeks time, evidences of improvement
are perceptible. They display a re-
markable aptitude for language, and
can be taught the alphabet in an hours
time. What they once learn they never
forget. They like to talk, and evidently
prefer the ladies for teachers. Mr..
Jones desires to assistin starting schools
for the Chinese at other places. This
work of education he considers indis-
pensable to their Christianization. He
does not consider it even difficult un-
dertaking, provided the work can be in
creased in scope, and that laborers can
be procured sufficient to the work.

Last week Thursday q number of the
residents of the quiet village of Claren-
don engaged in friendly game of ball.
Among them was Lyman Preston, a
painter by trade, and q man respected
by every one. He was about 55 years
of age, and had never known q days
sickness. On the day in question he
seemed to be in more than usually per-
feet health and spirits. When he went
to his home at night he partook of a
hearty meal and went to bed. Some
time during the night his family were
awakened by hearing him groan in q
way peculiar to him when suffering from
the nightmare, to which be was fire.
quently subject. Tney accordingly
went to him and tried their best to
awaken him, but in vain-he died. His
case was investigated by several ply
sicians of the vicinity, who pronounced
it a case of nightmare and nothing more.

Ouack Catarrh Medicine.

Some time ago man was through
this section selling some sort Of stuff to
cure catarrh. While at Canisteo he
sold q bottle to the foreman of the fan
ning-mil factory in that village, who
was suffering from cold in the head,
who used it with very peculiar effect.
Ever since, for the space of two weeks,
he has, while walking, all the symptoms
of man two-thirds intoxicated. He
has not been able to walk across the
floor without staggering. He has been
compelled to stop work for the past two
weeks, and although gradually coming
out of it is still confined to his house.

Photographing a Race Horse.

The San Francisco Bulletin of June IA
says: "About year ago E. j. Muy-
bridge succeeded in producing a per-
feet photograph of Leland Stanford's
trotter, Occident, while moving at full
speed. The photograph was the first OF
series to show the various motions a
trotter's feet and legs pass through in
making one stride when in full motion.
The interest of that particular photo
graph was greatly enhanced because it
showed the position the horse was in at
the moment when his forefoot struck
the ground. 1t completely upset all
previous theories concerning the shape
of the leg and the part of the foot which
first touched the ground. The photo
graph represents the horses foreleg,
projecting at considerable of an angle
before him, straight as an iron bar, the
heel touching the sod and the toe well
above the ground. Since then Mr..
Muybridge has brought electricity to
play an important part in the work OF
taking the negative of a fast moving OBJ
ject, and with its aid he has obtained
every change in trotting horses posi-
ton while making complete stride. A
dozen photographs show the various
positions of Occident's body, legs, and
feet, while travelling at 2:24 gait, in
stride of Is feet inches. The pho
tographs show that fast trotter's feet
are all off the ground at the same time
twice during the making Of the stride,
although the best accepted authorities
on this subject have repeatedly asserted
that a trotting horse always has one foot
on the ground while in action. These
photographs have been taken by Mr..
Muybridge at Menlo Park, where appa-
ratus for this special purpose has been
erected at cost to Mr.. Stanford of at
least $4,000. The camera is exposed
and uncovered in a twinkle, by electric
ity, which is under the complete con-
troll of the operator. A board-fence on
the opposite side of the track has been
lined and marked in feet, and a row Of
cameras are placed to correspond with
these, SO that the position of the horse
on the track, as well as the form of his
body and limbs, is definitely determin-
ed. The pictures are a wonderful tri.
umph in photography"

Consumption Due to insufficient Nour.
ishment.

The alarming increase of mortality
from consumption has aroused the at
tention of many earnest thinkers out
side the medical fraternity. Statistics
show that this disease carries off more
victims in a year than the most fatal
epidemic; and various plans are pro-
posed by which the power of the terri
BILE scourge may be in measure de-
creased. Especially in New England,
where the climate is severe and the peo-
pie energetic and enterprising; "where
it is considered effeminate to dress heav-
lily, to have sleeping-roOm warmed, or
to favor ones self in the matter of
work." there consumption rules and
reigns. An editorial in the July num-
Der of Scribner, commenting on this
subject, charges much of the ill-health
of New England to the "thin diet" sys-
tenn of Graham, from which the people
have not yet entirely recovered. Stu
dents starved themselves, took long
tramps while fasting, and died by hum
dreds. The writer considers sawdust as
wholesome and nutritious diet as
buckwheat cakes and molasses. Good
bread and butter, milk, fruit, nutritious
beef or mutton and nice puddings, these
he considers the necessaries of life, in
sufficient nourishment being one of the
chief causes of lung diseases. To in
crease the vitality to dominant pitch
renders the tubercles already deposited
in the lungs harmless. 1--WE have seen
consumption cured again and again."
he says, "by the simple process of
building up the forces ofvitality through
passive exercise in the open air, and the
supply of an abundance of nutritious
food; and we have no doubt it can be
prevented in most instances by the same
means"

A Poverty.Stricken Man In Luck.

The Cincinnati Times says: 1t was
during the war that well known bust
ness man of this city kept gossip going,
and his money, too, in the whirl and
excitement of fast life. He had large
army contracts, and from them his re-
sources came. The money, easily OBJ
tanned, was in truth thrown away. He
had barrels of it; estimates as to his
means were not infrequently placed at
two or more millions of dollars; he had
all the attributes of prodigal; in fast
horses, fast women; an unquenchable
thirst for wines, and the desire to be
talked about as man about town. He
was as generous as he was reckless, and
fair-weather friends swarmed about him
They helped themselves to his funds and
sang his glories as long as he had dol
lar to spend. In the height of his folly
he thought of what was to come, the
inevitable death. What men said
about him living pulled up his
vanity, but what they would say
about him dead must depend upon
the splendor with which he could go out
of the world. Over his grave he wanted
to have the most imposing monument
in Spring Grove. To prepare for this
possession he, one day, extracted from
his Government bonds $25, 900, and put
ting them in an envelope, which, being
sealed and endorsed proposals." he
placed in his safe. In his round of dis
sipation the monument and every thing
connected with death slipped from his
memory. The natural sequence of his
mode Of living, distressing poverty, came
upon him. He did not have a dollar in
time: His family barely had enough to
keep soul and body together. His
horses, diamonds, fine house, business
and friends passed away. In the wreck
he mourned his folly, and worked at
whatever he could gette do.
Among the things left to him were
barrels and boxes filed with valueless
paper. Years went on without improve
ment in his affairs, until last Monday
evening. While overhauling the con-
tents Of one of the barrels, the package
marked proposals" spurred his curl
osity somewhat. He broke the seals,
tore off the wrapper, and to his aston
ished gaze 5000 in bonds were re-
vealed. They were the monument fund,
long forgotten, and now resurrected
when a dollar to him was as big as q
three-sheet poster.

If you want to be miserable, think
about yourself, how much you have host,
how much you have not made, and the
poor prospects for the future. A brave
man with soul in him gets out of such
pitiful ruts and laughs at discourage
ment, rolls up his sleeves, whistles and
sings, and makes the best of life This
earth never was intended for Paradise,
and the man who rises above his dis
couragement and keeps his manhood
will only be the stronger and better for
his adversities. Many noble ship has
been saved by throwing overheard its
valuable cargo, and many man is bet
ter and more humane after he has lost
his gold. si
An interesting paper on earthquakes
in Japan was lately read before the Ash
attic Society of that country by native
savant. The record of all earthquakes
occurring in the larger cities of the en-
pire has been kept with considerable
regularity since the fifth century of the
Christian era. The number of slight
shocks is very large, and that of dis
astrous earthquakes is uncomfortably
great. In fifteen centuries 40 destruc-
tive earthquakes had been recorded.
The recorded average is one great earth
quake in every ten years, but the nine.
teenth century gives one in every five
years. Unusually high temperature
and strange atmospheric changes have
been noticed as precursors of great ter
restrial commissions, especially of the
earthquake which desolated Yeddo in
1855. There have been several earth
quake shocks in Japan in the early par
of the present year; one of them, on tn.
