A new theory of the cause of earth
quakes has been propunded by DR..
Novak of Pesth. He considers that, be-
sides the rotation Of the earth on its axis
and it's revolution around the sun, null
tiplicity of motions Of the earth appear
in space. in virtue of which the earth's
axis, and with it the equator, shift their
position. This causes variation of the
forces centrifugal and centripetal) i'll
f1uencing the earth's form, and the
earth's crust has tendency to adapt it.
self to this change.
"A Nuremburg chemist has devised a
new method of decorating silks and 9TH
er fabrics, which is expected to super
sede embroidery. The art is called sido-
graphic. and the operator uses hollow
pencils which are charged with fluid
metallic compound. On exposure to air
the compound instantly harlens. Every
color can be produced, and the designs
traced with the pencils are exceedingly
durable, lasting as long as the materials
ON which they are traced. Glass can be
stained and woodenware aud pottery
decorated by the same process. The
manufacture of the pencils has already
become considerable industry in Ger
manv.

REUNION IN HEAVEN.

By WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
How shall know thee in the sphere that
keeps
The dsembodied spirits of the dead
Where all OF thee that time should withcr,
sleeps
And perishes among the dust we tread
For shall feel the sting of ceaseless pain,
II there ] lueet thy gentle presence not,
Nor hear the voice ! love, nor read again
In thy sercnest eyes the tender thought.
Will not thy own meek heart demand me
there
That heart whose fondest throbs to me
were given
MY name on earth, was ever in thy prayer !:
Shall it be banished from thy tongue in
heaven!
In medows famed by hcav'n's life breathing
wind,
In the resplendenre Of that glorious
sphere.
And larger movements of tia unfettered
mind,
Wilt thou forget the love that joined us
hcrcf
The love that lived through all the stormy
past,
And meekly with my harsher nature bore,
An. deeper grow. and tendercr to the last
Shall it expire with life and be no more

Another event of yesterday was Il
beautiful service IN Trinity. DR.. Hugh
Miller Thompson gave a grand sermon,
taking his text from tho morning lesson,
81 No weapon that is formed against
thee shall prosper; and every tongue
that shall rise against tl;ce in Judgment
thon shalt condcntn.' Ho showed How
impossible it had been for evil to pre-
vail against Gods church; showed that
Christ ianity had lived through all per
secution-that, even in the dark ages,
when the church became corrupt and the
flame Of truth seemed well nigh cx-
tingrislcd, it had revived and again be-
came Il power in the land. Said t'rat
Butler began his Analogy by intimating
that no thinker could believe in a God,
the earth to-day, he would find that the
very best thinkers did and do believe i'll
God and that there had been more
churches bnilt in England during the
reign OF Victoria than during fonr hun
drcd years previously; and showed, too,
that the text had been verified.
do not wonder that DIR. Thompson is
held in such high estimation by his con-
gregaton-tlie only wonder is that there
| is ever :, vacant scat when he breaches.
Strangers, however, rarely like him at
first, because they think that one so dis
| tinguished must be very eloquent. He is
tho reverse of eloquent. He is very
| terse-at times br,Isque, but he is more
than eloquent; he is q deep, original
| thinker, and not unfrequently grand un-
| tc sublimity. He presents his arguments
with such force that he makes men think,
and although 50 very practical, | call to
mind many very poetical expressions and
! figures. The following beautiful thoughts
he uttered some time ago in a sermon in
which he was contrasting the happiness
Of the Christian and the wordling. He
spoke of days that were SO happy that
they seemed like " escaped runaway days
from Paradise" "If you wonl,l feel the
most intense emotion Of happiness, turn
not to the garish pleasures of the world
! find it in earnest, true repentance. The
one is to the other as the ripple Oh the
surface to the deep swell Of the waves in
Fundy."
| / have conversed with DR.. Wilbur OF
| Chicago, the great Magnetic Doctor He
claims to cure all diseases that are cur
able, even deafness, and has given no
medicine during twentysix years.
His theory is this: ''The human body
is charged with subtitle fluid, akin to
electricity in some respects, but as much
finer than the galvanlc currents as the
human organism is superior to shape
less mass Of inorganic matter; it is called
ne,vors fluid, vital electricity, animal
magnetism, human magnetism, etc. The
highest refinement of physical force is
human magnetism. This being All estab-
| l;shed fact, we hold that it must be the
greatest curative agent, if the laws of
| it's action are sufficiently understood.

Croizette, the celebrated actress of
the Coincide Francois and rival of Bern
hardt's, has been having affairs pretty
much as she wills since the departure OF
The latter. She has a salary from the
government of 5000 francs per an
num. 1t keeps her in gloves. bottines.
and bonbons. She has three very beau
tiful children, and. though she is mad
emoiselle, they accompany her every
where, and are well cared for by their
respective fathers. One of them, a boy,
is the acknowledged child of the Duke
d'Aumale, son of Louis Philippe, and
is the exact image of his grandfather.
In Croizette's more beautiful days she
sat AS a model for the figure of TRUTH"
now on exhibition in the Luxumburg.
and which represents a perfectly nude
woman with a lamp in her hand. 1t is
said that when this picture was COM
pleted. the actress went to see it with a
number of friends, among them a rich
but very stupid young marquis, who.
after examining the paintings. inquired:
''Mademoiselle, why do you carry a
lampPn To which Croizette naiyely,
and to the horror of the artist, respond
cd: ..Mon Dieu. monsieur. je cherche
mes habits" q am looking for my
clothes.) Croizette is no longer beauti-
tul. She looks like an exceedingly fat
Modjeska, if one can imagine such an
anomaly. and scarcely opens her large.
dark eyes in talking. She is very pop
ular. and gives elegant receptions week
ly at her residence.

Invention For Calming the Stormy Sea.

A recent cable from London, says:
The inventive genius of a Scotchman
,as, if we are to believe the Scotch pa
oers of to-day, found a way to accom-
,lish something which man has never
before dreamed ~of-namely, calming
he stormy sea. Mr.. Shields. of Perth,
las invented n way of sitting the waves
Of the ocean, and put it into successful
operation. He sinks bottles filled with
bill; the bottles are % ned by n process
devised by the inventor. and the oil,
ascending to the surface, stills the
waves, thus reducing the proverb
about pouring oil upon the troubled
waters to practice. The invention
has been tested at Peterhead, it is said,
with amazing success. The Scotch pa
oers are full of it. The invention may
aot be practicable upon the seas. where
4 vast quantity of oil would manifestly
30 required to still n dangerous storm,
out if the claims of Shields, the inven-
.or, are genuine, it could be made very
aseful in calming open roadsteads or
lly-sheltered harbors.
