= PROF. WISE seems to be in earnest
in mis- scheme for crossing the Atlantic in
a balloon, and to be setting about his
preparations in very practical manner,
strikingly in contrast to the dare devil
method of the unfortunate Donaldson q
few years ago. His idea is to thoroughly
test the conditions, both Of the natural
air currents and the necessary features
of an air-ship to meet the varying atmos.
pheric conditions, with the purpose o
davising automatic machinery that will
cause the balloon to regulate itself then
to send trial balloon across without an
occupant, and follow up with others, if
necessary, until it shall seem sSie to at
tempt the aerial voyage himself. Three
scientists will accompany him, and many
applications for the privilege have al,
ready been made. Professor Wise's pre-
liminaTy experiments are already being
made ON Manhattan beach.

Next week Mr.. Jerome Hopkins, sn
eccentric man, and very poor musician
proposes to bring out q biblical opera
called Samuel" It has been played
once, and was generally laughed st
some years ago. The organist of Trinity
church told me, some days ago, very
funny story about his first performance
of " Samuel" which is worth repeating,
although it is little profane. At the
first performance Hopkins induced some
of the Trinity choir boys TO take part,
and the role of the Samuel was taken by
a little fellow of the choir who had a
beautiful voice When the night of the
opera came, the house was full of people
ready to laugh. The orchestra tuned
I'D. and Hopkins sat in the conductors
chair, waiting Tor the signal g ready" to
Be given from behind the curtain. But
no signal came, and Hopkins got impa,
tient. He bounced on the stage and
soon found that every one was in place
except Samuel, who was nowhere to be
/ found. e I'll find him." says Hopkins,
/ in a rage, dashing behind the scenes.
The next thing the very proper Trinity
choir boys heard was Hopkins voice

The world will never know how much
it owes to science. A scientific man
who has been investigating the coal oil
regions of Pennsylvania has come out
with the alarming theory that the oil
comes from the bearing of the earth's
axis, and that the earth will cease to turn
when the fabrication ceases. Therefore
he holds the opinion that the govern
ment ought 10 interfere at once and put
stop TO this pumping and boring for
this gudgeon-gresse of the universe.

The Temple Of Diana.

This was built, as Pliny says, on a
soft foundation to guard against the
shocks of earthquakes. The founda-
ton. therefore, was laid in q swamp,
wood and charcoal were interposed to
absorb the wet, and the arches form q
subterranean labyrinth, in which water
stagnates, all of which is SO at the pres
ent day. The superstructure bears all
the evidences of an ediice which was
destroyed eight times, and took $50
years in building and rebuilding. It
now consists of several walls of immense
blocks of marble, the fronts of which
are perforated with small cavities, into
which were sunk the shanks of the
brass and silver plates, with which the
walls were faced. In several places
where the walls have fallen, they have
exposed cornices and holdings of q
former edifice, against which the new
walls had been built up. Some Of the
vast porphyry pillars which formed the
front portico still lie PROSTATE before it !;
but others were brought by Constan-
tine to his new city Of Constantinople.
The heather temple was dilapidated to
build the Christian church Of st. So
phia, in which these pillars are again
become the great support of all anti
Christian edifice. But the most inter
est;ng circumstance of the building to
ME il the great illustration it gives to
the acts of the apostles. Here is the
place where st. Paul excited the COM
motion among the silver and brass
smiths who worked for the temple; and
over the way was the theater, into
which the people rushed, carrying with
them Gaius and Aristarchus, Pauls
companions. Hence they had full
view OF the magnificent front of the
temple, which they pointed out as that
(which all Asia worshipet'l" and in
their enthusiasm they cried out, "Great
is Diana of the Ephesians!" to whom
such temple belonged.

The Struggle for Life in France.

AAO CUA uS6AO aO1 LILO Ill EI0MCCs
The dream of every young French
man whose pockets are empty is to
marry girl who has from 1000 to
"a 1000, and to earn about e200 q year
for himself by means of situation al
fording fixed salary. It is not an ex-
trsvagant dream, and, to do the French
man justice, he is quite happy if he
realizes it. Having got $500 OF s4OO q
year, he does not seek to enlarge his
income, but lives prudently within his
means, and invests some savings every
year with commendable Judgment. The
very fact, however, that most French
men should pitch their ambition SO low
as to require nothing more than what
an Englishman would call little COM
potency shows how keen the struggle
for life here is, and when one reflects
that the thousands of men who covet
the position of petit RENTER are Joined
annually by 10000 young recruits fresh
from the schools, and with all their tai
ents whetted, according to the newest
systems for the social fray, one cannot
wonder at the large number of educated
young men who find their way into
jai1s. The last annual report Of the
Ministry Of Justice dwells upon the in
creaaing number of well-educated per-
sons who are. imprisoned for offenses
against property. N. Victor Hugo and
his friends, who used to laud education
as the panacea for all social and polit.
ical ills, may find this hard fact to d.
gest, butthere it lies; and one may add
that for determination in offenses
against life, ~ well as in swindling, the
nighly-trained young men who have
been through the best lycees are quite
equal to the uncultured rough. -Pall
Mall Gazette.

John Sherman's ssDif1culty.'

Didn't You have a fight once on the
aoor OF Congress with q Southern
naemberf"
Tho only difficulty Of that sort I
had was with 3 man by the name of
Wright, from Tennessee. He was
man who drank hard, and came on the
door in that condition. I was making
speech one day, and came to tho end
OF . sentence, when this man said,
That's ie.' He was some distance
from me, and I did not hear it; but the
reporter did hear it, and put it down in
his Transcript, 10 that next day it ap'
pea1ed in the Globe newspaper. This
made me mad, and I arose on the day
following to question Of privilege. 1
said that had not heard any such re-
mark made, and presumed that the
gentleman from Tennessee who did
mako il, - the reporter had heard it,
was in such condition that he did not
know what hs was saying. At this
Wright arose - il to make q reply, but
bis colleagues surrounding him pulled
him down. A little while after he came
around to speak to some of the South
ern Americans, or Know-Nothings, who
sat Just around me-. He addressed re-
mark to ono Of these, and a. he did so
looked Of me with some insolence. !
arose at once and picked up q cup Of
wafers. such - lay on the desk OF every
member At that time, and threw the
contents in his face. He had . pistol
Of his hip, and tried to draw it on the
door. when he was suppressed by the
other members. However, the incident
made = great impression on the House,
and led to an early adjournment, as
there was every expectation OF either .
duel or IN adtay. It was known that I
WAS NO duelist, but would repel An "a.
sault. A member from the Southern
element came to me to find out what /
meant to do. I told him that should
fepel any physical attack on me with
interest. He then instructed me that if
the sequel of this incident was to be an
assault instead Of . duel, there could be
but one assault-that tho fight had to
begin and end in . single encounter.
He told me to be ready. I got pistol
and put It in my pocket and I wasa
good shot I never felt cooler in my
life, and I made up my mind that the
instant Wright approached mo with a
hostile intention I would shoot him
dead. A friend Of mine, capable in
such emergencies, walked ont of the
Capitol with mo, and a. We descended
the steps on tho hide next to the city
and came to tho fountain which flows
railways down tho several fights of
steps, there Hooked, and coming around
the other hide Of tho fountain was
Wright, also accompanied by . col.
league. I walked toward him, LOOKING
him in tho eye, with my hand on the
pistol, fully determined to shoot him If
he raised his hand. But he did nothing
Of the kind. He probably saw what wss
in reveraion for him, and went right
past him without suffering IN enoount-
or. He afteevazd turned out 4 drunk
ard and died drunkard. The remarks
