The Earth's Great Age.

In recent lecture at San Francisco.
Professor William Denton gave several
striking illustrations of the earth's age.
First he said, we had evidence of the
earth's great age in the tiny particles
of soil beneath our feet. Tie great
trees of California with from ! $50 to
1850 annual rings of vegetable growth,
reveal the fact that these monHrChs of
the vegetable world were Saplings when
NebuchadnezZar was born. The great
fallen Monarch Of the Forests has been
estimated to have been 1900 years old,
and grew from seed propagated by older
parent trees, and these in turn from
grandparents whose Crumbled dust form
a rich vegetable mound to nourish their
younger progeny. How many such
generations occur no one can tell
But older than all these are the glacial
beds. When these ploughed their way
over the surface of North America and
Scandinavia they planed out mighty
beds and ground aud polished down the
uneven surface of a former age In this
remote age, the coast OF New-EngIand
was like that of Greenland at the pres
ent day. Few geologists will place the
glacial period at less thar 100, 900 years
ago. But we could 60 back still fur
ther. IN the tertiary strata of Calltor-
MIA has been found what are called the
earliest human remains ever discovered.
These existed very many thousand
years ago, when one half Of New Jer-
sey, one-Lhird Of Virginia, all Of Flo
rida, part OF Texas and Great Britain
were under water. The Mediterranean
Sea was then double its present size and
the Gulf Of Mexico extended 70 Ohio.
A large part of California W Under
the bed of the Pacific Ocean, and waters
then extended back to the foothills of
Sierra Nevada Mountains.
But older than this period and furma-
tion was the underl ying stratishCatlon
of chalk. still older was the TriaSsic,
and older yet, the new red sandstone.
Older yet was the carboniferOus torma-
tion. Then further back was the Old
red sandstone, such as comes TO the
surface in parts Of Scotland. Again,
still lower, the Silurian, then the Older
Laurentian. seen at the surface i'll
Western Canada, and older yet than all
these the granite or underlying rock,
the parent that thrusts itself up rs the
backbone of continents, cutting through
all others to show us on the surface
what is below. What an intnity of
time must have passed away in the
successive formation of these rocky
layers

NEW VERSION IN CHURCHES.
what Rev. Messrs. Miller and kra-
naer had to Say About IL Yesfer-
sNnv

At Grace NJ. +. Church yesterday,
Rev. Mr.. Miller discussed the revised
edition of the New Testament, his text
being II Timothy Ill, l6 "All Scrip
ture is given by the inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for re-
proach for correction in righteousness "
He spoke of the old revision with re-
verence. saying we had been taught
from infancy to revere it and many will
be reluctant to give it up. But the old
was simply revision. 1t was right to
revise it then, it is right now. He held
that revision of the New Testament
was necessary because of the known de-
fects. II has been stated that there
were "a, 900 trihing errors in the old edi-
tion. 1t was altogether wise to make
the revision, and it had been made i'll
the interest Of the masses.
Rev George r. Kramer,at the House
hold of Faith, preached an interesting
discourse on the same subject yesterday
morning. After reading the fifth chap
ter of st. John in its new form, he took
his text from the Old Testament, using
Psalm cXiX "Uphold me according to
my word, that may live ; and let me
not be ashamed of my hope" The re-
verend gentleman read copious extracts
from the new revision, and compared
their meaning with the st. James work,
commenting on the changes. He ad-
mitted that the new book had its defects,
but considered it great improvement
on the old. 1t is the work Of scholarly
men, he said, and we cordially accept
it. In concluding, the speaker urged
his hearers to entertain no prejudice TO-
wards the new revision.

POLICE PARAGRAPHS.
The Cases disposed of at the Police
Court Since Saturday Morning.

d. w. Chandler, coal dealer at Fourth
and Spruce streets, was arralgneu at
the police court, on Saturday evening,
on the charge of maintaining anuiSance
on his property, by depositing offensive
matter (compoSD there, previous to
shipping it away.
G. b. Lore, EsQ., represented the de-
fendant II. c. Turner, Esq, the city
Several witnesses testified to the TACT
that the matter was Il nuisance, ana
that its Odor was almost unendurable.
Mr.. Lore contended that Mr.. Chand-
Ter had not been notified by the eXecu-
tive officer of the Board Of Health to
have the nuisance, abated but that
officer had procured a warrant for the
defendants arrest without giving any
preliminary notice to the offender.
The Mayor taking the view that tins
notice is required by ordinance dismiss
ed the case.
Mr.. Underwood, executive officer,
was instructed by the Board of Health,
at its last meeting, that no notification
was necessary, and that he should pro
ceed with the prosecution without
notifying the party complained of.
James Pennock and Joshua Allen,
charged with corner lounging, were re-
quired to pay the costs Of prosecu-
ton.
Dennis Daley, on complaint of his
father, was arraigned before the Mayor,
yesterday morning, on the charge Of
and disorderly conduct. A
fine of So and costs was imposed.
Barney Quinn and James Maeder,
vagrants, were sentenced to 80 days
in the county jail.

last night, with being drunk and dis
orderly on the brandywine, was fined

Cruelty to Animals.
Written for the kErUBLlCAN.

Written for the kErUBLiCAN.
The case of Cruelty to Animals vt
ESQUIRE Coles Court on Saturday night,
was farce, and proves how far off the
Millennium is. When eight or nine hard
unfeeling men can swear there is notn-
ing the matter with a horse and the pre-
siding Judge gives the palm of victory
to the world, the flesh and the devil,
we can expect nothing else but that
cruelty should run riot. The anctioheer
should have been fined for using the
horse in the condition he wash knew
his mouth was sore when he ordered
him driven and the driver sawed the
reins right and left, cutting the mouth
at every stroke, As the poor animal
frenzied with pain tore madly down the
street. According to the evidence every
known cruelty has been used on the
horse from the first sand when we saw
him he seemed pretectly wild and his
whole mouth one pool of blood, but
thank Heaven all Courts are not alike.

The Death of the Brother of Rev.
George IL. Kramer.

Rev. Geo. Il, Kramer, pastor of the
Household Of Faith, received, at the
conclusion Of his sermon yesterday
morning, a telegram, stating that his
brother, Rev. William p. Kramer, rec
tor OF Christ p. f. church, New Orleans,
had died, that morning, in Morristown,
y. j. The deceased, who was recover
ing from an attack Of malarial fever,
went, two weeks ago, to the city Of New
York, surprising the Northern eli
mate would benefit his health. After
remaining in New York for about u
week he proceeded to Morristown, and
there he stayed until the time Of his
death. He was born in the city of Bal.
timorr. and was forty years Of age, He
has been the rector Of churches in Au-
gusta, Ga, Louisville, Ky, and New
Orleans, La. The church Of which he
wa, rector at the time OF his death was
one Of the most intelligent, influential
aud wcalthieSt in the South. The de-
ceased was very talented and was
a general favorite with all who knew
him. During the yellow fever epidemic,
which ragged in the South two yearsago,
he stood nobly by his people. He leaves
a wife and six children. His burial

PLATT, THE SCAPEGOAT.
An Inside Glimpse OF the Efforts of
the Republicans TO Compromise
Plat Defeats the Efforts.

The New York Tribune's correspon.
dent from Washington under daJe Of
May 2lst says:
Very few Senators remain in the city.
The experiences Of the session lust clos.
ed have not been such as to attract them
to the place. Those who do remain are
busy in arranging their business mat
ters, in sending off the last public docu-
ments to their constituents, and III
speaking the last good word for some Of
their placemen. An indisposition to
talk over the events of the executive
session is manifested. A member of
the Republican Caucus Committee on
the Conkling side, however, did stop
long enough TO explain his views of the
situation. He said:
''We began the session with fine par
ty prospects. We We're an aggressive,
united, powerful majority. We have
ended in disCOntented, factiOnal, ridi-
culous minority. think Garfield did
wrong i'll nominating Robertson ]
think Conkling did a greater wrong in
resigning He had mo business TO play
the trick Of the boy that fired the Ephe-
sian dome. But we very nearly came
to comprise Of all the difficulties
and should, think, have done it but
tor the excess of zeal Of Mr..
Platt. A great many schemes had
been proposed, all of which Mr..
Conkiing declined to accept, One was
| that all the New York nominations
should be withdrawn. Conkling perhaps
| might have accepted that, but the Pres
ident would not. The proposition that
Robertson should be confirmed and then
Immediately decline possibly might
have been accepted by the Admnistra-
tion andMr. Conkling. but Mr.. Robert
sons consent could not be obtained.
Finally after the last caucus but one, q
plan was devised and which the presi-
dent, | think, would have approved,
and which Mr.. Conkling, after much re-
lIctanCe, consented to accept; that was
that the New York nominations, includ-
ing that of Robertson, should be rejec-
ted | for one had expected that that
programme could have been carried
out. Unfortunately, on the very day
that it seemed likely thai both sides
would agree to it, just at the close of an
executive session, Tom Platt was sharp
enough TO urge the confirmation Of
Craig the Postmaster at Albany. That
was done, and the President was i'm
mediately informed. That destroyed
everything. The Administrator I'M
mediately took offence, the nominations
were instantly withdrawn and chaos
came"
This revelation from one Of the Caucus
Committee illustrates the character of
the trade and dicker that has been 60
ing on for two months in the matter Of
patronage, and it also serves 10 show
the tremendous eXertions which the
Republican Senators made to placAte
their imperiOus associate.
