A Remarkable Presentment.

In March last, while the iii fated
United States steamer Huron, was lying
in the harbor Of Port Royal. 5. c..
Lieut.. Arthur Fl. Fletcher, her execu-
tive officer, left the vessel on twenty
four hours leave Of absenc", and, fail
ing to return at the expiration of that
time, the ship sailed for another port
without him. A few days ago Mr..
Fletcher returned to Port Royal, report
ed TO Commodore j. Fl. B. Clitz. senior
naval officer present." and stated to him
that for some time past he had pre-
sentiment that if he went To sea II the
Huron for the purpose of finishing his
cruise 1.-TWO years. he would be wreck
ed. This feeling took complete possess
ion Of his mind, and he used every
means to get detached; but the Navy
Department refused to order it without
q better reason. When he found that
all his efforts had failed. he left the
Huron in the manner stated, with the
intention not to return. For this he
was placed under arrest and fried by .
court martial. at Washington Navy
Yard. in August last. In defence he
made statement 10 substance rs above,
and called Commodore Clitz. Commsn-
der George p. Ryan, Of the Huron. and
other officers to prove that before leav-
ing the ship he had told them Of the
dread-in TACT, horEor--he had OF
finishing the cruise in the vessel This
il matter of record, On file in the
Navy Department, and, though such
line of defence was laughed at when
made. the fate of the Huron will cause
many superstitious people to think that
Mr.. Fletcher's premonition was fully
proven to be true one by the wreck off
Kitty Hawk. N. c. Washington Repub-

A FAVORABLE BALANCE OF
TRADE AS AN AID TO RE.
SUMPTION.

A great deal, we notice, is said now
adays by Republican journals about
our favorable balance of trade as an
aid to resumption. 1t is evidence, we
are told, that we are economizing, that
we are buying less than we are selling,
that we are living more within our
selves, and that we are saving more
than we are spending, all of which
shows a healthy condition and sub
stantial improvement. We hope that
is 90, but it must be observed that the
so-called balance Of trade is sometimes
deceptive element to prove the grow
ing material prosperity of the country
in whose favor it appears. 1t is not
always evidence that the Nation that
can not claim balance of trade in its
favor is growing poorer, or that the
Nation in whose favor it is growing
richer. England is an example of the
former. The balance of trade has been
against that Nation for the past twen-
ty.four OF more years, aud yet it has
been growing richer all the. time.
You ask how that can be, and doubt
the truth of the statement; still the
statistics of England's trade confirm
it's verify. Look at Lewis History of
British Commerce. We take the
twenty years from 1857 to 1876, both
inclusive. The figures are given in
round numbers:

SIGNS OF THE WEATHER.


Dew is a sign of fine weather, and is
never seen except under q cloudless
sky. Wind and clouds are sure pre-
ventives of dew, for the simple reason
that clouds are able to retain some of
the solar heat; and, as they can give
forth warmth, the radiation from the
earth Is checked, and the warmer tenn
perature preserved. Wind evaporates
the moisture as fast as it appears and
if the wind is westerly, there is little
dew or cloud to be seen. The con-
trary is observed with easterly wind,
but west wind blows over vast exc
panse of land, and, having lost its va
por, dries up any moisture it may
come across while an east wind cross
ing the Atlantic, is full of vapor and
sheds dew on all sides. These remarks
of course, apply chiefly to particular
localities, but the influence of west
wind may be seen in the spring. Dew
is more copiously deposited in the
spring and autumn than in summer,
as there is usually a great difference in
those seasons between tho tempera-
ture of day and night; in the spring,
however, there is small deposit Of
dew when a west wind prevails; but
in autumn, during the soft influences
of south and east winds, the earth is
covered with moisture. 1t has also
been observed that there is greater
formation of dew between sunset and
midnight.

A CHRISTMAs GIFT.

Around the Christmas tree we stood.
And watched the children's faces,
AS they their little gifts received
With childish air and graces.
We grown folks had our share offun
In making wee ones merry.
And laughed to see the juveniles
Kiss meath the Dolly berry,"
Beside me sat sweet Bessie Moore.
A lovely. dark-ey ed maiden,
While lear her stood our little Eve.
Her arms with lOve-gifts laden,
Until around the room she went.
The blue-eyed baby shyly.
And blushing red, into each lap,
Her offrings dropped shyly.
But when to me the darling came
All empty-handed was she,
And when asked. " Why slight me thus?'
She answered, oh, because we
We dinna know you tumming herel'
l And then, with blue eyes shining.
To Bessie's side she went. her arms
Her sisters neck entwining
But something must have" said I,
MY Christmas night to gladden.
A shade of thought the baby face
Seemed presently to sadden.
Till all at once, with gleeful laugh
=. ''Ohi know what do. Siri
I've only sister Bessie left.
But I'll dive her to yeu. Sirr'
Amid the laugh that came from all
drew my new gift to me,
While with flushed cheeks her eyes met mine
And sent thrill all through me.
"Oh! blessed little Ever" cried I,
"YOur gift 1 welcome gladlyp'
The little one loOked up at mo,
Half wonderingly, half sadly.
Then to her father straight turned,
And humbly asked his blessing
Upon my Christmas gift. the while
My long stored hopes cOnfessing.
And as his aged hands were raised
Above our heads bowed lOwly,
The blessed time OF Christmas ne'er
Had seemed to me SO holy.

changed by the agency of diminu-
tive battery, before he had made the
action of his motor entirely automatic.
He has taken away the battery, rear
ranged the magnets, and used the two
wires which formerly connected with
the battery. These wires he had coll
ed around the piece of soft iron, fur
nishing them with small and primitive
metallic handles at the other ends.
This piece of soft iron hung like a
pendulum on the tneutral line in
front of the compound. permanent
not electromagnetic. At the request
of Mr.. Gary took a handle in each
hand, whereupon he set the piece of
soft iron in notion, vibrating it by
means of a fywheel. Although the
vibrations were not very rapid, 1 inn
mediately felt the electric current in
my arms very strongly, and affecting
me somewhat disagreeably. He then
asked me to rub the metallic handles
together, or at least to draw one across
the surface Of the other. 1 did so,and
train of bright sparks was the result.
You see these vibrations are very
moderate said Mr.. Gary; last eve-
ming disconnected the fywheel, and
Mrs. Gary and the landlady joined
hands and took hold of the handles.
then vibrated the piece of soft iron
quite rapidly, the vibrations not being
over an eighth of an inch in length,
and gave the ladies such shock as. l
grieve to.say, nearly knocked them
down. This result was obtained, you
will notice, from a compound magnet
weighing only few pounds
Mr.. Gary pointed to the motor, which
all the time was indu striously ticking
away on the mantle, aud observed
tYou see that little machine. That
| will furnish power enough to make
these vibrations for me, and SO you
see all my electricity is generated al
no expense save the machine itself.
Thus, if electricity is generated at nc
expense, and Edison produces the
light at no consumption of fuel, etc.
it can easily be seen how sdirt cheap
the light of the immediate future may
be. Mr.. Gary is putting on suitable
appliances to cause the vibrations o
iron, and will Immediately secure let
ters patent both here and in Europe
and place his invention at the disposa
of the public. He feels confident tina
it will throw more light on the subjec
than all the arguments for or agains
it, and his confidence is shared BY
prominent electricians and capitalist
who stand ready with money.

El,l3S, 100000

These figures show balance of
trade against England for twenty years
of SIS. GOO, ,O0O, 900, An average of 1884,
100000 yearly, and yet in all that time
she was growing richer instead Of
poorer. Your wonder increases with
such information, and you want to
know the secret of Nation not grow
ing poorer that exports less than it inn
ports. The secret with England, we
suppose, is that she is the creditor
Nation of thc world. The United
States is debtor Nation, and though
we are exporting more than we i'm
port, and the balance of trade is in
our favor, yet that fact does not prove
that we are growing richer. We are
a debtor, not a creditor Nation. We
are largely indebted abroad; that is,
what is owing to foreign creditors by
the United States. individual States,
cities, railroad corporations, amounts
to large sum annually in the way of
interest. That interest is paid not by
sending cash gold in bars or coin, but
produce, cotton, meats, breadstuffs, pc
troleum and other commodities. They
count as exports. They bring no re-
turn. So the books show that we are
exporting more than we are import
ing and that the balance OF trade is in
our favor. To the extent, therefore,
of the interest we pay annually to for.
eign creditors, our exports, in making
balance of trade in our favor, are de.
ceptive; and that fact should not be
lost sight of in determining what aid
our balance of trade may render in
maintaining permanent resumption
