Two interesting problems which have long
perplexed the scientific world appear to have
been ut last definitely solved by the eminent
geologist, DIR. Hahn. These questions are,
first, whether or not celestial bodies, other
than the earth belonging to our solar system
are inhabited by animate being, and, second
ly. whether the meteoric stones from time to
time cast upon the surface Of this globe ema-
nate from incandescent comets or from vol
canic planets. That they at no time formed
part Of the cath itself has been conclusively
demonstrated. DIR. Hahn has recently COM
pleted series Of Investigations upon some Of
the huge meteoric stones that fell from the
skies in Hungary during the summer Of 1866.
Thin lamina Of these mysterious bodies, SUBJ
jected to examination under powerful mic
roscope, have been found to contain coralline
and spongeous formations, and to reveal un-
mistakable traces Of the lower forms Of vege-
tation. All the organisms. animal and vege-
table, discovered by Dr.-Hahn in the delicate
stone shavings he has thus dealt with indicate
the condition of their parent world to be one
of what is technically termed "primary for
nation" But the presence of water in that
world is proved by the fact that the tiny pet
ri6ed creatures revealed by the magic of the
lens, one and all, belong to the so-called SUBJ
aqueous classes Of animals. They could
not, therefore, have possibly existed in COM
cts, at least il the assumption be correct that
these are in . state Of active combustion.

Among several valuable and important pa
pers presented to the Historical Society Of
Delaware at its last meeting was an original
autograph letter from John Hancock, the
President ofthe Continental Congress. to Dr.
BENJAMIN Franklin. dated Boston, Oct. 90,
I7sl. The letter is well preserved, neatly
and legibly written on linen paper and bears
the clear. bold signature Of the patriotic sign
er from Massachusetts, so cODspicuously ap-
parent on the Declaration Of Independence.

made especially interesting at this time, on
the eve of the centennial celebration of the

In carrying out some foolish college tradi-
ton few days ago, eighteen members Of
the Senior class Of the Indiana University at
Bloomington made an annoying disturbance
in the recitation room and finally jumped
out of the window. Five of the number were
suspended by the faculty, and now all the
eighteen insist upon Withdrawing and seek
ing for graduation at some other college.
The faculty has very properly refused to be
bulldozed and. since there is no disposition
to compromise, the students will probably
carry out their threat. The strangest feature
in these periodical desertions from colleges
is that the parents of the rebels so often sus-
tain the foolish and disreputable action Of
their sons. If the boys who, on the eve Of
their graduation. about to desert the
Indiana University were spanked and sent
back the effect upon them, and possibly up
on other rebellous youngsters, would be
salutary.-N T. Tribune.

THE OLD HRowN HAND.


The hand that pressed my fevered brow,
Was wlthered, wasted, brown and old,
Its work was almost over now,
As swollen veins and wrinkles told.
no longer brushing back my hair,
1t gently rested on my wrist;
Its touch seemed sacred as n prayer,
Just by the breath Of angels kissed
knew twas thin, and brown and old,
With many deep yet honored seam,
Wearing one little band Of gold
The only trace Of youths bright drenmi
And yet DER evory mark OF care,
In every wrinkles mystic line,
I fancled jewels cleaning fair
That wore beauty nll divine,
Another hand my fingers pressed
Twas like the lily dipped In snow;
Yet still It gave wild unrest
A wearincss that none should know.
There pearls with costly diamonds CLEANED,
And opals showed their changing glow
AS moonlight on the ice has beamed,
Or trembled on the stainless snow.
caught again the old brown hand,
And smoothed 1t fondly In my own
woman's, though SO old ana tanned;
A woman's bravo and fearless grown.
Aye, 1t had labored long and well,
To dry tho tear, to Rocthe the pain,
Its own strong nerve to all would tell
That life has work which brings no shame
We love the pretty hand that rests,
In gentle tondness on our own,
with nails like rosy calyx pressed,
Upon rearly, stainless cone;
But sacred is the healthful palm
Which smoothcs the ills which round u
band;
The many feel Its sacred balm,
And holy soems the old brown hand.

Down In THE WORLD.

1t may also be said, writes the New
York correspondent of the Buffalo Cour-
ier, that New York swarms with men
who, once we'll up the social ladder, il
not actually at the top, tum5led clear in
to the mud at the bottom, and still lying
there, with no prospect of ever again get
ting up. Such men are to be seen in the
streets every day, and any one making a
tour of tie cheap lodging-houses in
Chatham street and tho Bowery would
probably lind good many of them. In
some cases the fell is the result of mis-
fortune, but in most it is caused by fanlt.
A special case came to my attention o
few days ago, A shabbily dressed man,
with the general looks of tramp, passed
me in the street. In glancing at his face,
thought it was familiar. As he slouch-
ed along the sidewalk, I noticed that he
looked into the gntters and bent his head
oyer ash barrels and boxes--a tramp be-
yond doubt. A full look at him took me
back twenty-five years.
Long before the war the samo fguFe
was familiar one on Broadway. He
was one of the daadies then, and his nat
ty dress and curling hair that hung thick
to the shoulders made him an object Of
attention on the promenade. He follow
ed no business, but his family-theatri-
cal and operatio psople--were pretty we'll
of, aud he had ell the spending money
he wanted. And now--weu, now he is q
tramp, picking crusts out of the ash bar
rels, sleeping in the station-houses, or
possibly in the parks, and as miserable q
creature, this one-time dandy of Broad
way, as it is possibly for nlnu to be.
And there ara scores, if not hundreds, of
just such examples in the streets every
day. Other places have fnir share Of
the same class, no doubt, but New York
has the largest variety and eau show
specimens of every degree, from the
scApegraee son ofthe merchant prince all
the way down,

A REMARKABLE LAKE.

Several of our citizens returned last
week from the Great Sunken Lake, situ-
ated in the Cascade Mountains, about
seventy-five miles northeast from Jack
sonville. This lake rivals the famous
valley of Sinbad the Sailor. 1t is thought
to average 1000 feet down to water all
around. The depth of the water is un-
known, aud its surface is smooth aud un-
ruled, as il is 30 far below the surface of
the mountains that air currents do not
affect it. It's length is estimated AZ
twelve or fifteen miles, aud its width ten
or twelve. There is a mountain in the
centre having trees upon it. II lies still
silent aud mysterious in the bosom OF
the everlasting hills, like huge we'll
scooped out by the hands of the giant &C.
