REMARKABLE ECHOEs.-In the sepul-
cher of Metalla, the wife of SuIla in the
Roman Campagna, there is an echo which
repeats i've times, in five different keys
and VIII also give back with distinctness
a hexameter line which requires two and
half seconds to utter it. On the banks
of the Naha, between Bingen and Coblentz.
an echo repeats seventeen times. The
speaker may scarcely be heard, and yet
the responses are loud and distinct, some
times appearing to approach, at other
times To come from a great distance.
Echoes equally beautiful and romantic are
to be heard in our own islands In the
cemetery of the a Abercorn family, at Paisy,
when the door of the chapel is shut, the
reverberations are equal to the sound of
thunder. If a single note of music is
breathed the tone ascends gradually with
a multitude of echoes till it dies IN soft and
bewitching murmurs. In this chapel is
inferred MargeTy, the daughter of Bruce,
and the wife of William Wallace. The
echo at the Eagles Nest, on the banks of
Killarney, is renowned for its effective re-
petition of bugle call, which seems to be
repeated by a hundred instruments, until
it gradually dies away in the air. At the
report of a cannon the loudest thunders
reverberate from the rock, and die in
seemingly endless peals along the distant
mountains. At the Castle of Simonetta, a
Dobleman's seat about two miles from
Milan, a surprising echo is produced be-
tween two wings of the building. The re-
port of pistol is repeaed by this echo
sixty times aud Addison, who visited the
place on a somewhat fOgey day, when the
air was unfavorable to the experiment,
counted fiity-six repetitions. At first they
were very quick, but the intervals were
greater in proportion as the sound decayed.
IL is asserted hat the Soupd of r,t,a r,YS;coI
instrument in this place resembles a great
number of instruments playing in concert
This echo is occaSioned by the existence
of two parallel walls of considerable length.

berate6 from one to the other untiI il *

The effort Of the members of the Returning
Board to transfer their trial to the United
States Circuit Court has q dash Of audacity
about it that impresses us. Judge Billings
was one of the principal actors in the famous
midnight order" through which the KEEL
Iogg usurpation was set up, while Judge
Woods prosecuted the Grant parish prisoners,
who were on trial before him for their lives,
with more vigor, pertinacity and malevolence
than even the United States District Attorney
did. OF course, IL Wells and Anderson get be-
lore these judicial luminaries, the trial will be
- farce.
T We do not regard their success, however,
nossible. The Electoral Tribunal refused to

forgeries they perpetrated, on the ground that

the Legislature Of Mississippi, an net en-
titled can act to repeal the charter and dis
solve the corporation Of The mayor and alder
men Of The city Of yicksbnrg"

charter Of Viclsburg but creates M new char

| that s. 1t virtually abolishes the city of Vicks
burg, and resolves II back into Warren count Y
Vieksburg is not the only city that has
| threatened this Incorporation and suicide, Ii
order 10 escape lts bondholders. Memphis has
made similar threat, and quite n number d
other towns have adopted the idea and de-
clared that If pressed by their creditors they
would GO into bankruptcy and retire from busl-
ness altogether. Vicksburg is The first to prac-
tically carry out this oft repeated threat As
may be expected, The proposed Incorporation
has carried CONSERVATION and alarm into the
hearts of It's creditors, who will make every
effort to defeat the measure.
Senator Cowans act was very near being
adopted the first day 1t was proposed In the
Legislature. 1t was read twice, and motion
10 suspend the rifles and read IL third time
was about to be adopted wlpn some Senator
suggested the advisability of first referring 1t
TO a committee This was therefore done, and
the act referred 10 the Committee on Corpora
lions.
From the vote the act has already received,
1t seems more than probable that II will pass
the Mississippi Legislature. The creditors Of
the city will, II liz said, bitterly oppose the
measure, as they fear 1t will render the col
lection of the city debt very difficult II not
wholly impossible.
What effect will the Incorporation Of
municipal corporation have upon its debt
The many questions that will arise On this
point are likely to prove interesting ones.
1t seems scarcely possible that an act Of
can rid a city of It's debt, and
yet the collection Of this debt must he ex-
tremely difficult when the city that owes IL
is dead and has left no heirs.
The burdens Of municipal taxation have
been growing heavier and heavier each year.
until some radical change In our system of
city governments has become absolutely
necessary. This willing suicide of the largest
aitv Of our sister State Is bitter sarcasm
upon municipal rule in America.

Tie Auditor of Public Accounts Of tho State
of Virginia has just sent to the Legislature Of
that State report on the subject of The Moi
sfettregister. The amount produced by liquor
licenses the last year Of the old system was
$a8a, 1e5 90.
Only thirty-three counties have returned
their receipts from the Moffctt register, and
these only In rUft, A careful survey Of the
statistics obtained from these counties show
that they will yield $241, iii AZ a year From
the other sixty-six counties, containing two
thirds the population of the State, the Audi

distillers will make the receipts Of Virginia

the very reason of the reference OF the bill TO

half ago and containing learned COM
pilation Of the fathers on tho subject
OF everlasting damnation. Swlnden adj
mits that some Of the most learned fathers
refused to believe In literal fire. but as
large majority Of them insisted on II. he
thinks 1t an important article Of faith. Bar
row was not even satisfied with fire of
sulphur and birthstone, but insisted on having
salamander worms to feast continually on the
damned, iustifying his worm theory in quota
ton from the Bible about "the worm that
never dies" Origen was perhaps the most
illustrious Of those who refused to believe In
external punishment thinking the only pun

ever, punished both mentally and materially
The most amusing part OF Swindens book
is his theory as to the location of hell. In
this matter he repudiates the vulgar opinion
that 1t is located in the centre of the earth,
and urges scientific meteorological and geo
logical reasons why this cannot be- He Is
particularly severe on Drexeius whose calcu-
lation of the number Of the dead and the d.
mansions of hell he critcises as 'mean and
narrow" Drexelius puts the number of the
damned at a hundred Thousand millions. and
the hell as being a German mile each way.
This suggestion Swinden dismisses as absurd,
as hell would not then contain one thousandth
part of those who will have to be placed in it.
After careful study of the subject, Swinden
comes to the conclusion that the sun is the
true hell, and that the orb that lights up the
world is the place where many will ultimately
go. We have, therefore, the consolation of
knowing that he'll, even If it is an unpleasant
