The telegraph tells of the arrival of
large number of tramps in an Illinois
town whom the people were herding in
the plaza before sending them west.
Exchanges from the Mississippi valley
towns report that such things are not
uncommon. Hundreds of these tramps
are moving about the country under
the pretense of seeking harvest work;
but as a rule they toll not, neither do
they 'rake and bind" They do not
resemble the lilies in other respects,
however-especially not in the matter
of raiment Davenport and other
Iowa towns are overrun with them,
and the railroad trains are suffering
considerably from them in the way Of
''deadhead" riding and other depreda-
tons

Severe storm in Massachusetts.-d Many
Lives Lost.

Lives Lost.
Boston, July 16.-One of the Sc
verest tempests ever experienced
here swept over the city this afternoon.
The duration of its violence was
about rs minutes, and in that period
great damage was done life and prop
erty. Reports from various points
down the harbor contain accounts of
serious damage and distressing acct
deats. Many small yachts and other
boats were capsized. The most seri-
Gus accident yet reported is that of a
small schooner, the Myrtle of Charles
town, having on board six persons,
four women, man and boy. The
schooner was capsized off Bird Island,
and all except the man, who chung to
the topmast, were drowned. The
storm swept the interior of the state,
and many lives were lost and much
property destroyed.
Boston, July 1.-THE storm
yesterday was very severe at all
points. The loss of life is greater
than at first supposed, mainly
caused by capsizing of boats. A
yacht capsized off Nantasket beach
and four persons were drowned. One
man, two women and two children
were lost off Governors Island.
Three bodies were picked up on the
beach. The rainfall was very heavy
in some places and some hail stones
measured seven inches in circumfer-
ence. Lightning caused the loss of a
few lives.
New YORK, July 15.-It is stated
by the Northern Pacific Railroad Co.,
that the rapid development of Wash
ington Territory and the demand fol-
railroad facilities have determined
them to commence the construction
of the road from the Columbia river
eastward to Pen d'Oreille lake, dis
tence of 200 miles. They accordingly
issued a circular calling for an add
tional 100000. The subscriptions
closed yesterday, the entire amount
having been taken by stockholders
The construction will begin as soon
as the line can be located. Ter
thousand tons of steel rails were pur.
chased to-day for this road.
PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-THE brig
Shasta of New York from Port az
Paix, St. Domingo, bound to Chester

occurred, the.captain being among the
number.
BUFFALO, July 17.-It will be re-
membered that a party of six men
started from Port Colbourne, July Sd,
in sail boat bound for this city to
spend the Fourth, and were drowned.
The bodies of FIVE of them have been
recovered. To-day party ofgentle-
men from Buffalo were fishing in the
river near Beaver Island and found
a floating bottle with paper in it on
which was written the following:
"July 3, P. M.-We cannot weather

Gently been the subject of an able inves-
tigation by M. Rossetti. He first sought
to establish the laws of radiation in rela-
ton to the temperature. First. the ra-
diation OF a Leslie's cube filed with
mercury and heated 300 deg. was meas
ured with a thermopile and a Wiede-
mann galvanometer. The furmula ar
rived at was tested in the case OF copper
ball heated in the fame OF a Bunsen
burner to about 700 deg. to 800. Furth-
er, the radiatipg power of various bodies

or oxyhydrogen blowpipe, was also e .
amined, and gave satisfactory cOn6rms-
ton Of the formula for temperatures
ranging up to 2,400 deg. Taking into
account absorption in the earth's atm os
phere, and making observations OF the
heating of thermopile by the radiation
of the sun, the effective temperature OF
this orb was concluded to be 1864 deg.

gives these interesting instances Of The

when we drove in the country, bui if
we went to the town, about mile ard
a half distant, Jack would remain on

town, until we returned, and then fy
round and round the pony's head, finally
alighting on the splash-bosrd. If we
met any other conveyance, he always

a little blue tit, who used to settle on
the tall trees near the house, and cor,e

my head or shoulders. A lady, an ae-
quxintance of mine, had, che says, a
canary 90 tame that it used TO pull her
hair out of her curls to line its hest
with. This very severe winter has tanned

1t is only in the obeying, in the doing,

OF course it is not 30 with all-many
come and are helped in their lives; but
many never come. And it is 20 with
the classes and the SundaY,school and
all church work. 1t is not what you
hear, but what you do, that tells in
character and usefulness. / preach
purity and honesty and love and right
eousness every Sunday, and salvation
by which these things may be yours in
character, in inward nature but if you
go on in yeur sin, 90 on in fslseness and
lechery, the hearing can do you no good,
unless you are doers also. Men can drop
down to death from the pew of church
as well as from seat in saloon, If
their characters are not right. And all
this comes at last to be matter of per-
sonsl decision and action with each one.
And it is not emily 20 in this church, in
every church, but in the great world at
large. As communities, as nations, ceme
not only to mere theories, but rise up
and carry these out in just laws and
righteous living, they reach positive
results; and l have great hope in the
fact that everywhere we are coming to
see these things to see that faith with
out works is dead.

Strange Coincidence.

A very extraordinary act is Just now
the talk of one of our West End hotels,
writes LondoD correspondent. A lady
who has lately arrived from Australia
had dream about six weeks ago that
her half-gister who is still in the colo
MES, had been accidentally killed. The
dream impressed Itself upon her so
strongly that she made a note of it in
her diary, telling her husband about it
at the time. A day or TIVE since she
received the sad intelligence that the
lady in question had teen accidentally
killed by being thrown from carriage,
and on consulting her diary found that,
allowing for the difference of time BE-
tween London and the colony, her sister
had been killed about the time of the
dream. The story is not fiction ; l
have ascertained the facts and can vouch
for its truth. It reveals q very strang
coincidence, if nothing more.

Every one is probably more or less &C
qusinted with the instrument By which
the idea of continuous motion is co.,
veyed to the eye from pictures. Two
disks are arranged st ssuitsble distance,
in one of which is a narrow slit, and on
the other drawings Representing the va
rious positions OF any actions horse
jumping, etc. The persistence OF the
luminous impressions on the Tetina pro-
duce on the visual organs the sensation
of a continuous picture animated by the
various phases of the movement intend
ed to be represented. The phenomenon
Is one of the most curious In the whole
range Of optical experiments. But the
ingenious instruments hitherto produced
all consist in the employment of narrow
openings which, besides reducing the
light in considerable proportions, and,
consequently the clearness and briliancy
of the picture, necessitate the rapid TevO>
luton OF the latter to a degree which
exsggerates the quickness OF the move
ments represented, because, il turned
more slowly, the intermittenee OF vision
would not permit the formation of a con-
tinuOus image on the retins. In the
prsxinoscope, name given to it by its
inventor, NJ. Reynaud, from two Greek
words, meaning respectively action
and "tO look at" the substitution of one
picture for another is effected without
any interruption OF vision or any sensi-
bic loss of light. The apparatus consists
of an upright polygonal box fixed on a
stand, the various faces of which are
formed of pieces OF looking-glass placed
side by side 30 as to constitute a priam
OF mirrors. Outside that rejecting sur
face is movable circular tray, equal in
height to the prism, but exactly double
in it's diameter. On the interior surface
OF the tray are placed series OF designs
on the same subject in the different
phases of an action, and so arranged that
each of them corresponds to one face of
the prism. A small winch is attsehed to
give rotary motion to the circular box,
and a very moderate speed suffces to
produce the substitution of the pictures,
and the animated illusion is apparent on
the mirrors very clearly and distinctly,
with remarkable regularity of movement.
NJ. Reynsud states that the instrument
is capable of rendering great services to
optical science. 1t will facilitate the
study OF the contrast of colors, the per-
sistencs OF impressions, etc, as the
changes produced by 1t can be effected
with great rspidity if required.

Don't Be Too Fresh.

Certain bores, who think it an evil
depce of being good fellow to call gen.
tlemen, with whom they have only q
slight acquaintance, by their first names,
may be edited upon reading that deci-
sion on politeness wss recently given
by the supreme court at Boston. a
hotel clerk sued his employers, who had
discharged him before his time was up,
they alleging that he had injured their
business by being too familiar with
guests in addressing them by their
Christian names or surnsmes only. The
allegation was admitted and the court
said
"To address person by his Christian
name, unless the parties have been inti>
mstely connected, socially and otherwise,
is uncslled for familiarity, and, therefore,
insulting to the party SO addressed. To
address party by his surname only,
shows want of respect, and would
imply that the party SO addressed wss
beneath the party addressing; therefore,
IL Is discourteous, and would be consid>
cred insulting. To speak Of employers
BY their surname only, shows 8 great
want of respect on the part Of the
employee toward the employer. While
it may be customary for a person to
address his junior clerks or under ser
wants by their Christian or surnames, to
address Others so shows a want of respect,
and the party so addressed would natur-
ally eysde contact in the future with
snyone who had previously 50 addressed
him."
PoIiteness, added the court, costs
nothing but the want of it had cost the
plaintiff the loss of his situation. tn
complaint was dismissed with costs

The Revi.lon Il the Bible.

1t was said that this movement for
bible revision dose not arise from any
want OF respect for King James ver>
sion, which was itself but the result of
half dozen revisions which preceded
it within iess than century. Its object
Is TO make good version better, and to
bring the bible still nearer to the under
standing OF all English speaking Christ
end0m. 1t will do away with sectsrian
versions which tend to sharp divisions
and controversies among Protestsnts.
Like the movement which produced
King James version, the present UNDER
taking has its rise in the English church,
that part o. it represented by the cons
vocation of Canterbury. Leading bible
scholars from all English Protestant de
nominations were invited to cooperate,
and work was commenced in May, 1870,
the participants taking the name OF
" The English Committee for Bible Re.
vision" Two years later a combination
of American bible scholars, embracing
all Protestant denomina lions was formed,
called The American Committee for
Bible Revision" and since that time the
two committees have labored in harmo.
NOUS conjunction in this great interna-
tiOnal and inter-denominatioual work.
The committees are divided into two
companies, viz, an old testament COM
psny and new testament company, the
chairman of the English old testament
revisers being the bishop of Winchester,
the bishop of Gloucester and Bristol
being the chairman of the new testament
company. The chairmen of the Ameri-
can company are respectively, DR..
Green, OF Princeton, and ex-President
Woolsey, OF New Haven. The expenses
of the American committee are met By
voluntary contributions of those who are
Interested in the advance of biblical
knowledge, and the expenses of the
English company are net from the roy
atty paid by the universities of Oxford
and Cambridge for the monopoly of pub
fishing the bible since King James time.
It is expected that the work upon the
new testament will be completed within
yesr, and the old testament in about
two years. They will be published, first
in England by the university press, and
after that the committee will disband,
ard the fate of the b0ok will be left 70
the Christian world.
As showing the coincident exsctness
Of the scholarship brought to bear upon
the work, it was stated that when the
changes in the text of the epistles to
the Hebrews made by the English COM

by the American committee, esch work.
ing separately, and out OF nine huDd eG
and thirteen changes four hundred and
seventy-six were in the very same words
by both committees, and about the same
coincidence was noticed in the book OF
Isaiah. No sacrilegious Uzziab has q
hand in this great undertaking; but all
engaged are actuated by reverent faith
that they are doing Gods work, and are
fastening the time when for all Chris
tiaas there shall be one Lord, one faith,
one baptism. There can be no doubt
they have the hearty sympathy of all
those qualified to judge of the desirable
ity of the proposed revision.-[Cor.
