In Memory Of BERTHE and Mel.
| lie Knapp.

Our hearts are filed with sorrow
For the children We loved so well; I.
And sadly we miss the presence
OF our BERTHE and little Nell.
,Tis hard to bear this affiiction,.
And we cannot help but weep
For the little forms now missing raa
That in the church-yard sleep.
In the fold of the good shepherd, o.
Our precious lambs are at rest;
Free from sin and earthly trials
Forever with the blest. .......
By and by we hope to meet them
On yOnder peaceful shore,
Where stern Death cannot sever
The loved ones from us more.
Farewell, BERTHE and darling Nellie,
Happy hours were with you spent,
Yet now, we realize more fully,
TO us you we're only lent. NAT.

There appeared in last weeks
JOURNAL, published by request, an
article headed "Awful," concerning
what was to take place on the earth,
between 1880 and 1887, according to
the notions of a professed astrolo-
gist. 1t was published by u.s. not as
a matter of news. not as matter in
which we believed, but as giving the
whole of an article that had been
quoted by our exchanges, here and
there, by pieces, without connection
and as entitled to some credence.
At this time in the life of the JOUR-
NAL, it ought not be necessary to say
that it's editor is not q believer in
astrology, witchcraft, conjuration, or
any such thing. We had often been
asked, "What about this awful pre-
diction concerning the perihelia ?"
and we concluded to simply give the
whole of it. as we found it in circu-
lation. But it is wonderful, isn't 1t,
that In this age Of the world, and in
THE country of schools, and books,
and teachers; in this age Of science
when the atoms of things are almost
seen and the planets in their awful
rounds are weighed and measured,
that there should be such q fearful
amount of superstition such believ-
ing without sufficient. evidence
such scquiescence in the mere die
tum of a sensational writer? We
see that men are born, that they
grow and work, that they have their
day, that they weaken and die, their
bodies returning to the elements
there is no superstition about this,
and it is true religion and true
philosophy to recognize these gen.
ersl facts and make every act, tho't
and desire ss nearly perfect as pos
sible. Thus We shall be doing the
highest duty known; to the human
mind, and, we submit that belief
should rest upon evidence alone, and
belief in the most important con-
Germs Of life should always be pre-
ceded by evidence that excludes
| all doubt - II : ! a. ;

We hear such q good one on
John Hammond that we cant keep
it, and yet scarce durst tell it. Well
risk it, however, and stay out of
town day or two. Somebody got
into the boat the other day "to cross
the ferry" and when in mid water,
the current was SO swift that the
boat went down stream. "Ding
bang you," said John, "why the
bang don't you row across2 Point
up stream" Finally, John was so
concentrstedly interested in the mat
ter that when the passenger did at
last come to land, John jumped in
and pulled for the opposite shore.
No sooner had he got into the cur
rent than the boat began to observe
the laws of force which require that
the majority shall do the principal
part of the ruling, and down stream
she was going. All the on-gaZers
remained quiet. Not a word was
lisped; not a ripple of laughter
loated to John over the surging
waves of the forceful Loup, but ev-
erything was as serene as the sunny
April heavens above them, except
ing the fat man in the boat who was
rowing and putting, and putting and
rowing for dear life to head that
ding banged boat up stream and get
across, but all to no purpose, and
the Captain. in despair, jumped out
and soalked to shore. Seeing the
unruffied countenances on the bank
he shouted, as only John can shout
Ding bang you, why don't you
laugh ?" .. ..Vfil Ils.N

THE DERBY of 1881 must now be ad-
ded to our national honors. This great
glory of England, and topmost prize of
the turf, has been previously achieved at
home excepting in 1865, when it was won
by the French horse Gladiateur, and in
1876 when it was gained by the Hungar-
ian Kisber. Iroquois, the present hero,
was bred near Philadelphia by Purser
Welsh, and sold as yearling for $1,000
to Pierre Lorilard, who sent him to Eng
land. Mr.. Lorillard after receiving the
happy intelligence in New York, also re-
celved the congratulations of his many
friends at the Union club yesterday after
noon. His drag draped in bunting, on its
way to Jerome Park races was enthusias-
tically cheered along the route. The
present interest in races will gain new
impetus from this triumph.

ONE OF THE most daring labors ever
undertaken seems to be the boring of the
tunnel under the English channel. The
work is progressing steadily and seems at
present to promise complete success. 1t
may be said to be founded upon a geologi-
cal inference, which is that the chalk
strata which appears both on the shore of
England and of France is continuous be-
meath the channel. Below the visible
chalk formation. which has through all
historic time been known as the marked
characteristic of the coast, there is a strata
of gray chalk of more clayey nature,
and in this is the perforatIon or tunnel
being excavated, or rather, driven by a
drill which cleverly throws back what
may be called it's chips into huge dust
pan that is drawn out and returned by
machinery, keeping the bore free of de-
bris.
