WHAT WOULD FOLLOW A PACIFIC
CABLE.

While many people are looking forward
to great disasters and possible destruc-
ton of the human race during the period
from 1881 to 1885, it may not be out of
place to mention one source of danger not
thus far recognized. We would not offer
it as embodying all modern wisdom, nor as
crystallizing the modus of prophecy. Yet
as a curiosity in theories it will take rank.
We all suppose that polarity depends upon
a current of electricity passing at right
angles to the direction of the poles. The
polarity of the earth is said to depend upon
the electric or heat currents of the sun !;
and it is highly probable that the earth's
its polarity. If, therefore, there were
instantly established sufficiently electri-
cal connection by wires around the
earth, with the earth itself, to
instantly equalize the current and produce
a complete reduction of all electrical ex-
citement, what would be the effect on the
polarity, and secondly, on the inclination
to the ecliptic? May there not be a sud-
den change of polarities-the Arctic re-
gion becoming equatorial, and the tropics
suddenly changed to polar temperature
The sudden melting of the vast fields
would produce another glacial flood the
present race weuld disappear, and man of
the quartenary would begin life over again
at the antipodes. All this is to be accom-
plished by the continuation of complete
circuits for tclegraphing around the globe.
OF course tremendous earthquakes would
follow, as the polar diameter is twenty-six
miles too short and the equatorial twenty
six miles too long. -[Cosmos.

THE NEXT TRAIN GUT.

A Boston drummer was the other day
taking an order from a firm in Elizabeth,
n. j., and when he left the store he left
behind him memorandum book, lot of
cards and photograph of a very good
looking lady. In the course of an hour he
returned with anxious step and said
just my careless way. left my book
and photograph here. 1t is the photo
graph of my sister who is dead, and prize
1t very highly. Haven't seen it, have you 2
" Yes" said the senior member of the
firm " 1 had it in my hand when Mr.. -,
who lives in the next town above, dropped
in on an errand. He caught sight of the
photo, and he jumped two feet high ard
swore like trooper. He recognized it as
the picture of his wife y
"No," gssped the drummer.
"That's what he said. If you are his
brother-in-law, then his wife may be your
sister. Ii you are not, and you can't make
him believe that his wife and your sister
were twins, you'd better have your shooter
ready"
"Well, Inever was worth cent on ar
gument, and | guess I'll catch the next
train out. It's my sister, of course, but
while | was convincing that cid jealous
pated grandfather of the fact might lose
big sale down the road. Can't miss no
sales these sharp times, you know. If
keep down this street will it bring me to
the depot?'

CENTER OF THE UNITED STATES Cen
eral Walker, Superintendent of Census,
Gays that the center OF the population of
the United States was now being COM
puted, and that Is would probably be
found very near Cincinnati. The center
of population ten years ago was about
forty-sight miles east of Cincinnati, or
rather northeast. The large increase in
the Southern States would give the GEN.
ter a slight southern course, and the
growth of the great West would prob
ably take it west about fifty miles. These
causes acting together will throw the
center of population very near to Cincin.
nati-General Walker thinks within five
miles, although he declined to make an es-
innate. He said, laughingly, that he should
not be surprised if the center of popula-
ton was found to locate itself on Fourth
street In about three weeks the compu.
tation will he completed and the center
located All indications now are that it
viii be within the shadow of the hills
which encircle Cincinnati. i'm. Y. Herald.

Only TO Thee, my Father, can come
With heart unveiled am all known to Thee,
For many mercies can bless Thy name;
bless Thee now that Thou hast searched me,
That thou the human heart so well dost know,
And view with pity human sins and woe;
And from the river near Thy throne above,
Dost water earth with the sweet dew OF love
Only to Thee my Father, can come
10 satisfy my yearnipg natures need
For perfect love ! For Thou, feel,
More than Ill others, art my friend indeed.
Teach me to give childish trust to Thee,
tien when Thy ways seen strange and dark to me
For Thou know my hungry soul hast fed,
And oft in peaceful pastures gently led.
Only to Thee, my Father, can ! come
With offerings of reyerepiisl praise;
Zen when the outward sense is hushed aud dumb
Ny spirits voiceess thanks to Thee raise,
And own Thee as the source OF love divine,
Asking Thy presence in this heart OF mine;
Hume nv inner temple with Thy light,
And in its chambers there shall be no night.

Several incipient fires in different streets
were suppressed by the vigilance of the occu-
pants. It is computed that there must be a
loss of 81, 600 600, between buildings, stock
and furniture. Over 800 families are rem
dsred homeless. and at least 500 buildings
were destroyed. 1t is impossible to give
full and correct list of the sufferers losses
and insurance at this moment, but all the
insurance companies doing business in the
city are heavy losers. The fire brigade and
apparatus was quite unfit to cope with such
fire, and to its weakness and the wretched
water service the whole disaster is due.
SECOND DIsPATCHI
QUEBEC, June 9sh.-Even the police were
to a great extent demoralized during the fire.
Robbery was carried on freely in full sight
of everybody. The liquor stores and private
dwellings attacked by the flames were ran
sacked for liquor, which was openly drank
by the lowest dregs of society common to the
locality, and who frequent the low novels
whose destruction is one of the least regret
