There seems to be truth in this statement,
since directly after his arrival at that city

Of Ayncncho, the headquarters Of pieroli

Of Peru In the eyes Of his followers. Whit
all the European diplomats, who haye

THE DEMAND OF THE possEs,

Night before last Senator Cameron and
several New York gentlemen requested an
interview with the Speaker, and General
Keller very civilly met them ut Senator
Cameron's house, An earnest effort,
based upon the same grounds rs the oppo-
sition to Hlscock's candidacy for the Speak
ership, was made to placing Hiscock upon
tho Committee Of Appropriations, Gen
eraI Keller listened patiently to suggestions
made, and told tho gentlemen that the law
Of necessity compelled him to place Mr.,
Hiscock on that committee, but that he
should be glad to hear anything that the
gentlemen had TO urge against Mr. Hiscock.
Yesterday the New York gentlemen and
Senator Cameron called upon the President
and asked him for suggestions to General
Keller in relation to refusing Mr., Hiscock
the Craftsmanship Of the Committee on Ap.
propriations. The President replied that
he could see no good reason for prosecuting
Mr., Hiscock, and that he thought that the
Speaker was abundantly able TO form his
own committees, and without aid from per-
sons outside Of the House Of Representa-

General Keller several times during thu
day was urged by his friends to place Mr.
Kasson at tho head OF the Committee or
Appropriations, on the ground that he wal
the only available man for leader Of his
party on the floor OF tho House, and that
he ought to do this rs u matter Of self
protection against the Democrats. These
objections to DR. lIscock's appointment
coming from two strong sources left the
Craftsmanship OF the Appropriations Com

Concerning the moons effect on tides,
the Astronomer Royal for Ireland recon
tly stated that, while the day is grad
ually lengthening through lunar action
on tides, the earth reacts on the moon
and drives it away farther and farther.
Looking backwards, the moon must
have been nearer and nearer the earth,
and at one epoch in the remote ages of
the past-perhaps about 50,000,000 of
years ago-the two bodies must have
been very close together. Then the day
was but three hours long instead Of
twenty-four. At that distant period,
the earth rotated once every three hours,
and the moon revolved with it in the
same time. So near was the moon that,
if there had been oceans in those days as
now, the tides must have been PIG times
as great as at the present time; aud,
rising to an immense height, would have
swept over the whole of England.
