THERE is no indication that Conk.
ling has yielded in any degree his
determination TO exhaust every possible
resourc to prevent Robertson from
becoming collector Of New York. For
weeks no has been laboring with great
assiduity among the democratic sena-
tors to enlist their support. Among
the other circumstances that have at
tracted attention, has been the part
played by the vice president. It has
been noticed during the last two or
three weeks that he has quite frequently
vacated his chair and has usually,
though not invariably, invited a dem
ocratic senator to preside. Either
Harris, Cockrell or Voorhees, has been
called upon on such occasions, and,
~curiously enough, these three demo.
cratic senator's are among those claimed
as recent recruits to the anti Robertson
ranks. There are indications, how
ever, that the onposition to Robertson
is weaker than it mas been, and there is
every probability that he will bp
promptly confirmed whenever his case
comes to u vote, and not by a majority
composed Of democratic votes either.

speedy plan Of dealing with the Mormon
question. The recent arrival in New

Immigrants, and the departure from

Rev. 7. B. Barker, foc nearly seven.
teen years past rector of St. Johns Free
Episcopal church, has rendered his resig-
nation to the vestry of that church as
rector, to take effect on Easter Monday,
the 18th inst. Rev. Barker's resignation
is not only great surprise to his congre-
CATION but source of great sorrow, as
his people are greatly attached to him,
and are making efforts to have the resig-
nation recalled. 1t is understood. how
ever, that Rev. Barker feels it to he a
duty on his part to devote more of his
time to the care of an elderly sister (who
is in declining health and who, by the
death of their parents, has recently had
thrown upon her the charge OF several
grand children) than he can consistently
do while performing the duties OF his
pastoral office. Rev. Eacker will be much
missed in Lancaster not only by the con-
gregation he has so faithfully served for SO
long a period, but by our citizens general

\ NEW chapter is to he written in the
romance of modern science. We have
progressed SO far and SO rapidly beyond
the limits reached by the last genera
tions, and so far beyond the dreams of
ancient fancy, that the heights rea ched
are we'll calculated to make one dizzy,
looking forward or backward. The
steam engine and electric telegraph were
the maryels of a generation before this,
and the spectroscope, telephone, photo
phone, electric light and dawning appli-
cation of electric agencies to motive
power, are the wonders of later age.
Now comes the claim Of Prof. Tyndall,
to have invented il new scientific appar-
atus, by means Of which beams of light
falling through the slots of 4 revolving
disk upon flask filled with gas or vapor,
in series of alternate flashes, will pro-
duce strange musical sounds inside the
flask, the piici of the tones correspond
ing :! exactly with the speed with which
the disk is made TO turn, and each kind
of gas, or vapor, in the flask will give a
different kind of note, some soft, some
loud, and some very sweet and musi-
cal.'' by means of this remarkable ap-
paratus it is even limited that We may
vet be able to hear the sounds of fires
raging in the sun, and yet more wonder
full and unthought OF relationship be-
tween light and sound may be utilized
as = medium of communication.
