A New Bankrupt Law.
N. Y. Tribune.

n. Y. Tribune.
It is little more than one year since the
National Bankrupt Law ceased to exist,
and there has been fair opportunity to test
the chances of creditors under forty bank
rupt laws instead of one. It would not be
correct to say that there is universal feel
ing arising from this experience in favor of
new National law, but it is unquestiona-
bly, true that a strong sentiment is making
itself felt in that direction. The talks with
various members of the legal profession and
merchants show how wide this tendency is,
though thereks at the same time opposi-
tiOn to sNational law on the part of some
prominelt merchants, with much diversity
of view among its advocates as to what it
should contain. Some feel that the old
Bankruptact exceeds the limitations of the
Constitution, and that if there is new law
its administration should be left to the sew
eral States The majority seem to believe
that the execution of the old system was
unnecessarily. expensive, and that In any
fresh Legislation more care should be taken
to see that proper share of the assets gets
past the officials and reaches the creditors.
No one of the business and professional
men has hearty word to say in favor of
the existing State law, under which SD many
abuses arise. But it should not be over
looked that two or three of our best known
merchants manifest indifference on the
whole subject and make the homely sug-
gestion, in substance, that honest men will
pay their debts, il they can, under any law,
and that the best Of laws can hardly save
che creditors of a dishonest man from being
cheated.

Toads IN Trees and Stones
Chambers journal


Il A large toad was found few years ago
In an old apple-tree at Wonham Manor; it
came to light when the tree was blow down.
The Memories of the French Academic des
Sciencies contains the description of liv-
ing toad found in the heart of an old elm
tree. Near Nantes, when an old oak was
cleft open, toad was found in the very
heart wood, although no creyice or other
channel of entrance could be detected;
there were about 90 rings In the trunk OF
this oak, leading to the inference (according
to one theory that the animal must have
been in his prison-house 80 years.
MIR. Jesse, in reference to q frog found in
the trunk of . mulberry-tree, expressed 0
belief that the annual rings had been grad

UNTIL NEXT SUMMER.
BY ETHEL LYNN BEERS.

MRS. Ethel Lynn Beers the poet. has just died at
| her home, at Orange. N. J. Her most popular poem
was that which gave the title to the volume, All
Quiet Along the Potomac." She was the author uf
several other well.known war lyrics and ballads.
among them " The Flags Come Back to Tennessee
and for years past has been constant contrib
utor of poems stanzas and society verses to Hapers
periodicals, the New York Ledger and other journals.
Mrs. Beers death was caused by painful internal
disease. She is represented have possessed
commonly cheerful and sunny nature, but even in
her cheerfulness she subectto strange premoni-
tions, Of which was that soon as she printed
her poems she should die. The first volumes were re-
ceived from the press only a few days before that
event. and they bound in Grape and placed upon
her coffin. st 4.l2E sfssi H %la#
Fold up the robes which the summer has kissed,
Lay them away, they will not be missed;
Crumpe the furbelows feecy and light; t
Crnsh down the gossamer, floating and white;
Fold them up softly, sweet maiden, today,
For the sunshine of summer has melted away
The roses and lilies, 80 fair and 70 frail,
Have gone from the garden and died in the vale,
And pansies and gentian and sweet mlgnonette,
With tears of October are dropping and wet;
SO, fair little maiden, the light tissues fold
IRE the sun of November shines whitley and cold.
Yetdream not to wear them again, as to-day.
When the weeds of the year crush the blossoms of
of May;
For ali the gay bodice may clasp in the breast
A heart full of sorrow and weary unrest;
And sombre-hued sack-cloth the spirit may shroud,
While the form bears the colors it faunted unbowed
So folding thy yesture to lay ont of sight a-
With sweet-smelling posies, with heart bounding
light, ...
Yet fold in prayer for the strength you may need
prayer which He grants to the storm.beat reed
For strength in its weakness-a stay evermore,
Until winters and summers on earth shall be DER.

!" New York Must Be Carried. =
From the Washington Post.

The National Democracy have nothing
now to hope for in Ohio. That State set
tied its political position last Tuesday, and
unless sort of popular tidal wave inter-
venes will be enrolled in the Republican
column in 1880. We attached little, if any
importance to the fact that Foster has only
plurality of the votes cast Ohio is a
pretty good Republican State now, and
will in all probability show a majority for
that party in the Presidential election.
The Greenback vote amounts to bat 5000
now next year it will not go above 5000.
In fact, we are inclined to the belief that
there will not be Greenback party in the
field at all IN 1880. ...
1t is upon New York that we must base
our hopes of future success. The Empire
State has never since the war disappointed
us IN an emergency, while Ohio has never
vet failed to do 30. New York we believe
to-day to be Democratic State. There is
a square Democratic majority in it of from
25, 600 to $4,000. When the Greenback
party breaks up there, tbs great part of
it's voting strength will return to the Dem
ocratic fold from whence it came, precise
ly as the bulk of the Ohio GreeRback vote
has gone back to the Republican ranks,
from whence IL caEne----,---sy- .5.-..
In the present contest in New York the
true test between the two parties is on the
election of Potter and Hoskins. The fight
between Robinson and Cornell is one be-
tween Tilden and Conkling. both being
backed by the regular organizations of the
of the Democratic aud Republican parties.
We shall feel keenly disappointed if Rob-
inson fails of election next month, but We
shall not be dissatisfied if be IS defeated,
provided that Potter and the rest of the
Democratic State ticket succeed. That
will show that New York is Democratic
and can be relied upon, which means that
we shall elect our Presidential candidate,
no matter who he is. And that the Demo-
cratic State ticket proper will succeed, we
do not at this moment entertain doubt.
We confidently predict for it q majority,
or rather a plurality, of $4,000. Robin
son, if he pulls through, will probably do
80 with plurality of somewhere between
10, 1000 and 5000.
The best energies of the party in New
York need to be devoted to the important
work it has in hand, however, during the
next two weeks if it would insure victory.
And in the prosecution Of this endeavor
the Democrats of New York may rest as
sured that they have the sympathy of their
political brethren throughout the country.
We feel entirely authorised to assure
them that the foolish prejudice Of the party
in certain Western States against New
York, on account of what 10 termed its
mortgage on the Democracy Of the nation,
departed with the PRONUNCIATION OF the re-
suit in Ohio on Tuesday tass
The Democratic party has got to carry
New York this year in order to have it the
next, aud, through its indispensable aid.
secure the Presidency. If we lose it in
November nothing short Of political
miracle can save us in 1880. Let Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike take this ad-
mission and make the most of it.

The following couplet, committed to
memory, affords an easy rule for ascertain
ing without reference to an almanac on
what day of the week any day of q month
will fall: ase= "
3s AT Dover Dwells George Brown, Esquire.
Good Christian Friend, And David Friar."
Explanation.-The couplst contains 12
words, one for each month, in order, be-
ginning with January. The initial letter
of each word corresponds with the letter in
the calendar for the 1st of the month repre-
ssnted by the word. The key to the use of
the rule is the knowledge of the Sunday
letter for the year, which this year is E.
Example lon what day of the week
did March 10Th fall this year?
Answer.-D, the first letter of ". Dwells, %
stands for March LIST. But D is the letter
or day before E-that is, D. the list Of
March, was Saturday. The calculation ls
instantaneous that March 10Th was the
third Sunday in the month.
Example 2.-On what dayin the week
will December Sd fall? F is December 1st
But F is the day after Ell. o., Monday
therefore December Sd win be on Wednes.

A THEORY WHICH THROWS LIGHT ON THE
'ssa LOST CONTINENT. '7'A-. -'A
Popular Science Monthly.

2 4t-5=e~ Popular Science Monthly. s. ..r
One of the most plausible, and believed
by many SCIENTISTS to be the true theory, is
this: Ages ago the Americas presented q
very different appearance from what they
now do. Then an immense peninsula ex-
tended itself from Mexico, Central Ameri-
ca and New Granada so far into the Allan
tic that the Madeiras, Azores and West IN
dia Islands are now fragments Of it. This
peninsula was fair and fertile country,
inhabited by rich and civilized nations, a
people versed in the arts of war and civ
ilization-a country covered with large
cities and magnificent palaces, their rulers,
according to tradition, ,re,gning not only on
the Atlantic Continent, but over islands
far and near, even into Europe and Asia.
Suddenly, without warning, this whole fair
land was engulfed by the sea in mighty
convulsion of nature. Now, this catastro-
phe is not impossible or even improbable
Instances are not wanting of large tracts
of land, several hundred miles in extent
disappearing in like manner. The island
of Fereinandea suddenly appeared, and af-
ter while as suddenly disappeared. In
1919, during an earthquake in India, an
immense tract 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 situa-
ted. consists of extinct volcanoes. The ter
rible Lisbon earthquake of 1855, and the
lateg American shock, created a commotion
throughout the whole Atlantic area. That
Atlantis possessed great facilities for max
ing sudden exit cannot be doubted. Its
very situation gives good color to the mar
1atives of ancient Grecian historians and
Tocletian traditions, that "it disappeared
by earthquakes and inundatiops." "
