A rHEuRY WHICH Throws LIGHT ON
THE LOST CONTINENT One of the most
pnus bl~, and believed by many scien-
tisrs to b. the true theory, is this: Ages
ago the Am rlcas presented q very DIFF.
frrent appearance from what they now
do Then an immense peninsula ex.
tended itself from NIX co, Central Amer
ich and NV Granada so far into the
Atlantic that the Maderas, Azores and
W st India Islands are now fragments of
1t. This peninsula was tair and fertile
oeuutry, inhabited by rich and clvillzed
Nations. a people versed in the arts of
war and civilizsrion-a country covered
with large citi 9 and magnificent palaces,
their rulers, according to tradition reign.
in not ony on the Atlantic Continent,
hut over islands far ami near, even into
Europe and Asia. Suid-nly. without
warning, this whole fair land was en-.
guiphsd by the sea IN a mighty convul-
SION of nature. Now this catastrophe is
not impossible or even improbable In
stances are not wanting OF tracts of land,
several hundred miles in extent. disap.
pearing IN like manner. The island Of
Ferdlnand.a SUDDENLY appeared. and
after while as suddenly disappeared
In 1873. during an esrthqua in India,
an Immense track Of land near the river
Indus sank from view and lake now
occupies its place. The whole bed of
the Atlantic. where Atlantis is said to
have been situated, consists of extinct
volcanoes The terrible Lisbon earth
qusk- of 1755, and the later American
shock, created oommotlon throughout
th- whole Atlantic area. That Atlantis
possessed great facilities for making q
sudden exit cannot be doubted Its very
situation gives good color to the mar.
ratives of ancient Greslan historians and
r0cletian traditions, that SIT disappeared
by earthquakes and inundations -

OCEAN SpLENDuR.-When the sea is

Thompson. Esq, of St. Stephen. N. B., in the
SD year Of his age.
No kinder brother, truer friend, or more high
minded, loyal gentleman was ever followed, to
the grave-cnosen by himself In days Of health
and strength, in a pretty, shady corner, within
sight and sound of the home he loved so we'll
by more sincere mourners or friends, or had
flowers strewn by more tender, loving hands,
nor was ever home made more desolats by the
loss Of dear child, than was that of Col. Isaac
Jennings by the death Of Howard s. Thompson,

passed him unnoticed; his hands were always
cheerfully extended to those in need. His true,
noble character was plainly stamped on every
action. May the clods Of this beautiful valley
rest lightly on his noble breast.

by the Spaniards after the uprising Of

KEYS OF THE BAsTILE.-John G. Ham.
ilton. a st. Louis locksmith, is said to
have the keys Of the old French Bastile.
When the mob tore De Lsuney, the Gov
ernor, to pices, one of the revolutionists,
Lechastel by name, secured the keys.
They were kept in the Lechastel family
until 1852, when Antoine Lechastel en-
igrated to this country. Hamilton
secured them from Lechastel, the latter
being in need of money. There are Eve
keys in the bunch. The largest one is
rusty, though the marks of the armorer
plainly can be seen. The smallest, eight
inches long, is make of fine steel.

Many Of the papers which were op-

then come out in favor Of the new laws.
These new laws were the only salvation
the people had to escape from the
clutches Of the corporations of that
State. and within Ave years time there
will be hardly State in the Union but
what will have followed the example set
them by California. These powerful
corporations Of the country will have
to be checked in their wild and reckless
course sooner or later, and the sooner
they are checked the better it will be

that not only California was in need Of q
