Animals Before an Earthquake,

An Italian writer on the recent catas.
trophe on the island Of Ischia mentions
those prognostics of an earthquake
which are derived from animals. They
were observed in every place whdA the
shocks were such as to be generally per
ceptible, Some minutes before they
were felt the oxen and the cows began
to below, the sheep and goats bleated,
and rushing in confusion one on the
other, tried 20 break the wicker work of
the folds; the dogs howled terribly. the
geese and fowls we're alarmed, aud made
much noise; the horses which were fast
ened in their stalls were greatly aOi.
tated, leaped up and tried to break the
halters with which they we're attached
to the managers; those which were pro
ceeding on the roads suddenly stopped
and snorted in very strange way. The
cats were frightened, and tried TO con
ceal themselves, or their hair bristled
up wildly. Rabbits and moles were
seen to leave their holes: birds rose, as
If scared, from the places on whichthey
had alighted; and fish left the bottom
of the sea and approached the shores,
where at some places great numbers OF
Of them were taken. Even ants and
reptiles abandoned, in clear daylight,
their subterrancan holes in great dis
order, many hours before the shocks
we're felt Some dogs. few minutes
before the first shock took place, awoke
their sleeping masters by barking and
pulling them, as il they wished 10
warn them Of the impending dangers
and several persons were thus enabl4
70 save themselves.

MORAL AND RELIGIOUS.
Just the Difference.

Some men move through life as
bhnd Of music moves down street, fling
ing out pleasure on every side through
lhe ar TO every one, far and near, that
can listen. Some men fiji the air with their
presence and sweetness as orchards in Oc-
tober days fiji the air with perfume of ripe
fruit. Some women cling to their own
houses, like the honeysuckle over the
door, yet, like it, swceten all the region
with the subtitle fragrance Of their good
ness. There are trees Of righteousness
which are ever dropping precious fruit
around them. There are lives that
shine like star beams, or charm the
heart like songs sung upon a holy day.
How great bounty and a blessing il
is TO hold the royal gifts Of the soul 80
that they shall be music to some and
fragrance 10 others, and life to all! II
would be no unworthy thing TO live for
to make the power which we have with
in US the breath Of other mems joy; TO
scatter sunshine where only clouds and
shadows reign; to fill the atmosphere
where earth's weary toilcrs must stand
with a brightness which they cannot
create for themselves, and which they
long for, enjoy and appreciate - Chris

Those who have believed that the
Sahara desert is the bottom of long
dried mp sea that it is considerably
lower than the surface of the ocean, and
that to convert il again into big sheet
OF water all one has 20 do is TO dig n
canal, say TO the Atlantic coast, had
better read the lecture recently deliv.
cred in Paris by DIR. LEM, who travelled
through the desert from Morocco tn
Timbuctoo. He reports that the Sahara
really forms a great plateau which has
an elevation of about LOO feet above
the level of the Atlautic-a fact that
makes the idea Of flooding il ridiculous.
There is nowhere a depression below
the level Of the ocean, and il is not
dead sandy waste. There are rocks
and sandy plains and oases covered With
grass and stagnant sheets of water.
Fresh water fossils are found in abund
ance-another proof that il is no. a
dried up sea. The climate, DIR. LEM
says, is not nearly as hot as he expected
to find it, and wild beasts are rare. the
most dangerous inhabitants being tho
tribes who n short time since massacred
the French Trans-Sahara expedition.
The doctor may be accused of "bull.
ing the Trans.Sahara railway scheme
which has been talked about a great
deal OF late in France, but as his story
is also that OF recent scientific ex.
plorers the probabilities are that he
does not exaggerate the good points of
the desert.

Origin of t" Yankee ~

The origin of the word Yankee is now
difficult to trace. The old spelling was
Yankey. Some have said that II was
coined in Europe and used to designate
all persons in the American colonies.
Others have argued that il could be
traced to the Indians in their attempts
to pronounce English, and called them
Yamghees. The learned DR. Thatcher
declares IL was first used by one Jona-
than Hastings, q farmer of Cambridge,
Mass, as a cant word TO express excel.
lence, as a Yankee good house or
Yankee good cider Just as the people
OF Louisiana, when recommending any
article for sale at New Orleans, declare
II is real Creole butter or Creole eggs.
At any rate the word Yankee has be.
come q famous word, and while our
Southern brethren point indiscriminate-
ly to all Northerners rs Yankees, never
theless the genuine Yankee will continue

In TimIlluctOo.

DIR. Oscar LEM, the Austrian ex-
plorer, has returned to Europe after an
expedition to Central Africa which few
Christians have ever rivaled. He pene.
trated the Sahara desert, from Morocco
to Timbuctoo, the Mecca of Ethiopia.
This is a feat attended with as much
danger as the well-known journeys of
Captain Burton and Palgrave to the
sacred city Of Arabia. The adventurous
Austrian passed for Turkish doctor in
his travels in North Africa. DIR. Lenz
saw enough TO convince him that the
mystery which enshrouds Timbuctoo IL
maintained for other than spiritualistic
reasons. He found that the slave trade
is carried on there upon a very large
scale. There are groups OF immense
hints, which form whole quarters OF the
town, and in these the slaves are lodged,
while they are also nsed as warehouses
for ivory, gold dust, ostrich feathers
and wares.

A VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY.

In the case of the People VS.. James
w. Stevens, charged with murder for
the killing of Mr.. Hedrick in May
last, the jury, after being out AZ hours
returned verdict Of "not guilty. -
This verdict was contrary to the expec-
tations of the majority of the persons
who heard the trial. Many claiming
that under the most favorable circum-
stances verdict could not be justly
rendered for less than manslaughter
under the charge as given by the court
applicable to evidence as disclosed by
the witnesses, while some thought the
verdict should have been guilty OF
murder. 1t is claimed that several of
the jurymen were suffered to remain
on the jury when it was known that
they had declared that Hedrick should
have been killed long ago, and that
Stevens was justified in the killing
Personally, we know not the truth of
these allegations against any juryman,
but others declare that they had heard
some of the jurymen make these and
similar declarations unqualified, soon
after the killing. We have this week
published the substance of the evil
dence as given by the witnesses on the
trial, claiming that it is due to the peo-
pie that they have this before them,
from which to judge whether or not
the law has been indicated and jus
tice done in this case. In the case. OF
the People vs.. John Nymeyer in at
tempting to murder a. A. j. Fry, the
Jury after a short time out found o
verdict of mot guilty The defense
had admitted the shooting, but put in
the plea OF insanity, and it seems the
jury regarded the plea good and SC
found him not guilty. The prisoner
was Immediately brought up before
Judge Grigsby to DO examined as te
his sanity, and he was declared insane
and is to be sent to the asylum TO
treatment.

MATTER OFlNTEREST.

We were much pleased by meeting
Lieutenant Symonds, of the U. s.
Corps of engineers, on his return from
a trip of exploration on the upper wa
ters Of the Columbia. Our readers
can we'll see what interest would be
attached to description of the course
of such river, its riffs, rapids, and
falls; the country through which it
runs, the character of its s ii and geo.
logical structure for 800 miles above
this city. We rarely meet an explor-
er who is disposed, and can so easily
and clearly, represent in social CONVEX
sation the scenes of geographical and
scientific research. Lieut.. Symonds
seems very strongly imbued with the
immensely Of the region, calculated by
its soil and resources to become an
empire of homes and industries
His representation of the facility
with which all instructions may be re
moved, rendering the Columbia rive,
navigable, is of great Importance. The
fact that there are 800 miles of water
well suited to steam navigation, after
passing the mouth of the Colville rivel
which is 700 miles above Astoria, i.
also matter of great interest. HI
described the most enormous growths
of cedar and soft pine, as thick as i
could grow upon the ground, many o
them, both cedar and pine, twelve fee
and upwards in diameter.
Such reliable statements, from Gov
eminent engineers, employed indie
pendent of railway projection or in
terested sunlight, is prime evidence o
the resources and immensely of ter
ritory drained by this wonderful river
l-M0untdineer.
