New Jerusalem Society

The manual of the society for April has
been received.
Although the pastor of the church has not
received an official reply to the invitation ex-
tended by the society through him, offering to
the General Convention the free use of the
church for their annual convention this year,
yet the invitation may be considered as accept
ed. Private letters received by the pastor
from the President of the Convention and
others, make it evident that the offer has been
favorably received, and that the convention
will undoubtedly hold its meeting here this
year. The meeting of the General Conven-
tion will commence Friday morning, June
18th, and continue through Monday of the
following week. The New Church Sabbath
School Conference will hold its session the day

Fire on Park Street.

A fire occurred at the residence of James s.
Marrett, Esq, on Park street Sunday night. A
lady went into the sleeping apartments, light
ed match, and after lighting the gas threw
the burned match into cuspidor. She then
left the room for minute or two, and on her
return found the apartment in light blaze.
1t is probable little piece of the phosphorus
on the end of the match had flown off and ig-
nited lace curtain and caused the fire. The
curtains, wood work and carpet were badly
burned. The property was insured with Dow,
Coffin & Libby in the Home of New York fol
$4,000. Loss probably not more than few
hundred dollars.

dashed along he thought of his friend
but, no, that would not do; to tell
him would fastena joke upon himself
for life. He thought of quitting the
carnival without hat or friend. So,
tumbling along against one and an
other, till at last he found himself in
the supper.room, here, disguised
and desperate, he flung himself
into the first vacant seat at the supper
table. He called the attendants, and
ordered the first thing that came into
his head. 1t was brought, and there in
q sort of half-stupor he sat, slipping his
chocolate. Many minutes did not pass,
however, when new guests awakened
him from his reverie by seating them
selves Immediately opposite to- him at
the table. He raised his eyes, and 10!
there sat before him the self-same
mountain maid, with her hideous nose,
with its red and yellow splotches blaz-
ing in his face. The old man, too, sat
beside her. She lifted her dark eyes,
and, with smile. she looked at our
cavalier, who was crimson with shame
and vexation, and was about to quit the
table, when she extended her hand,
touching him on the arm, and said:
Stay, signor, l beg of you, and par
take of some refreshment. I would
once more listen to your speech, so full
of poetic fervor. Do be seatedr'
He felt like fool. He withdrew his
arm from the touch of her beautiful,
delicate hand. He looked her full in the
face-her horrid nose was laughing at
him. Striving to appear cool, he abb
ruptly retorted:
T Il would be very happy, madam. to
comply with your kind Invitation, but 1
am fearful that your nose will usurp the
functions of your mouth unless you cut
it of. Shall I help you to . knifeP''
"Oh, signor, there is not the least
necessity Of blood-letting." She raised
her beautiful little hand, and, with a
graceful movement removed the hid
eous nose from her charming face, and
then, with the most precise care, placed
it upon an elegant silk handkerchief
which in the meantime the old man lay
upon the table for its reception.
"Divine justice! What do behold?
Perfection more perfect than e'er be-
fore! What can say or dop" were the
ordinations of our amazed cavalier,
when he at last discovered that the
nose was an artificial one. The decep-
ton was complete. What could he
say or do-fall down at her seat and
ask her pardon? Yes. He arose from
the table and was about to PROSTATE
himself, when simultaneously they arose
also, and in an instant more the old
man, by few dextrous movements,
dashed off his disguise, Strengthened
his form, and stood before him splen-
did specimen of youthful manhood.
The cavalier was about to speak. She
prevented him by introducing her COM
panion as her husband, and then, with
sweet goodnight, and smile that
the angels might envy, they turned and
left the cavalier in q condition worse
than confounded.-M Y. Home Jour-

New Method Of Precipitating Rain Falls.

Among the recent patents is one
taken out by Daniel Ruggles, of Fred
ericksburg, Va, for what he desig-
mates as a new and useful mode of pro-
duoing rain or precipitating rain-falls
from rain clouds, for the purpose of
sustaining vegetation and for protec-
ton against drought and for sanitary
purposes. The Invention consists in
sending balloons into the cloud realms,
said balloons carrying torpedoes and
cartridges charged with explosives,
and there to explode or detonate
them by electric force.
my design" he says, "is to em-
ploy every Kind of explosive force at
an elevation in the cloud region of the
atmosphere, in order to condense rain
clouds by conclusive force or the
power of explosion within such region,
thereby precipitating rain to sustain
vegetation, prevent drought, and also
purify and renovate the atmosphere
during periods of pestilence and cpl
denies.
II contemplate the employment of
nitro-glycerine, dynamite, CELEBRATES of
nitrogen, gun-cotton, gunpowder, full
inmates, and other explosives, and to
use the magneto-electric telegraph on
the surface of the ground and the
phono-t telegraph in tie cloud realm to
direct action in cases where a regular
balloon, not charged with explosives,
is occupied by an nronaut to recon-
hotter the cloud realm, to trail torpe-
does and cartridges, or to throw them
in parachutes, and to explode or de-
tomato them either from the balloon
occupied by the eronaut or from the
ground.
Instead Of a single balloon pro-
vided with explosives say ten small
torpedoes or cartridges, each charged
with half pound of dynamite, and ar
ranged for simultaneous magneto-elec-
trio explosion propose in some cases
the employment of small balloons in
groups in the cloud region, each pro-
vided with explosives and arranged for
simultaneous explosion or defamation
by either electric or mechanical force;
and contemplate not only to precipi-
tate rainfall, but also to check its fall
in overabundance in given locality
by causing the rain clouds to discharge
rain before the given locality has been
reached by such clouds.
''My invention is based on discov-
cries in meteorological science, and
that electrical force sways and controls
the atmospheric realm and governs the
movements of the rain clouds, burst
ing into thunderstorms, dispensing
rain and hail, and into cyclones and
tornadoes illuminated by magnetic
electric forces as prime attributes of
matter So t9.i,-
II propose to employ the magnetic
electric engine to send explosives into
the cloud realm, and compressed air
and steam into the atmosphere when
ever found expedient, each through its
appropriate medium of metallic wire,
textile fibre, cordage, and elastic
tubes. "--Scie,atifc American.
