An English astronomer has recently stated

An English astronomer has recently stated that, while the day is gradually lengthening through lunar action on tides, the earth re- acts on the moon and drives it away further and further. Looking backward, he says the moon must have been nearer and nearer the earth, and, indeed, at one epoch in the remote ages of the past, the two bodies must have been very close together. Then the day was but three hours long, instead of twenty four. At that distant period the earth rotated once every three hours, and the moon revolved with it in the same time. So near to the earth was the moon in those ages, says this writer, that if there had been oceans then as there are now, the tides must have been PIG times as great as now, and. rising to an immense height, would have swept over all England.
 The Business Mems Moderation Society of New York began movement some months ago in favor of "honest beer," and employed Professors Doremus and Englehardt to make analyses of various kinds of beer The result will be pleasing to beer drinkers.

The report issued by the Census Office con. corning the water power, actually in use and potential, of the south Atlantic watershed, is interesting. It treats of the streams flowing into the Atlantic south of the James river and opens with a brief account of the topog- raphy, climate, vegetation, etc., of the region matters which are more or less germane to the subject, inasmuch as they determine the amount and character of the flow of the streams Tabulated with each stream are the utilized waterspowers upon it, while eli gible sites for further improvements are pointed out. One very important general fact is set forth very fully in the report. That is, that along the line of junction of the older metamorphic rocks with the recent tertiary and quaternary deposit-a line which has an average position perhaps from the coast - nearly every stream has falls or rapids; and that it is here, at the s'fall line, that the most available water powers are to be found Below this line the streams are invariably sluggish. The Poto- mac passes this line in the twelve miles above Georgetown, D. C., where are found the Great and Little Falls the James passes it at Richmond the Roanoke at Weldon, N O.; the Mouse at Southield the Cape Fear near Averysboro the Savannah at Augusta etc. Above the 'fall line' the currents of the streams are much more rapid than be- low, and increase, in general, toward the mountains, atfording large numbers of avail able powers. This report will doubtless add greatly to the interest now being taken in cotton manufacturing in the South, as it brings to light the vast amount of water power now lying idle in region which has been supposed to be rather deficient in that element

via Marseilles, from Asia Minor, India, China and Japan. But the hair imported from these countries is almost invariably black, and fails utterly to harmonize with the auburn and golden tints that so we'll befi northern complexion. It has therefore been found necessary to boil the hair in di luted nitric acid to deprive it of its original color, and it can then be dyed to the tint most in vogue. This operation has, how ever, been attended with considerable danger to the workmen engaged in this new handi craft. Severe coughs, bronchitis, and other accidents were the natural results of the nitrous vapors escaping from the cauldrons used for boiling the hair. This new danger appears to have been first discovered by Dr. Felix, of Bucharest, and the Roumanian Council of Hygiene has issued circular to all members of the trade warning them of the danger, and suggesting the necessary precau- tions."s:

The National Association for Sanitary and Rural Improvement has just had it's annual meeting at Greenwood lake, New York Among the interesting addresses made was one on Tenement house Reform, ,"by George c. Earth of Now York city, who stated that there are 10000 tenement houses in that city which accommodate from to 40 families each, and 5000 that accommodate from two to four families apiece. And he declared that the wealthiest church corporation in the city owned scores of the worst and the foul est, and would pay attention to their sani- tary condition, nor heed the instruction that Is preached to them by literally paid pastors, but squeezed from the poor every cent possi ble, evicting tenants who for any reason get behind in their rentals, and who last May in- creased the rentals of their miserable rocker rles from ten to fifteen per cent.

A SOUTHERN VIEW.

The Mobile Register can give no encosr
agcment for vigorous opposition to rivcs

items Of the bill of last congress arc the
Mississippi river and the reclamation OF
the Washington fats, both of which were
recommended by the President in Especial
message. AS to such southern rivers as
the Choctawhatchie, the Indian names OF
which provoked such merriment in con-
gress, 1t is nevertheless true that they can
at small cost be made navigable for hun
dreds of miles and bring into market mil.
lions of acres of timbercd lands which the
government would be otherwise Enabled to

Only such as government engineers have
reported worthy of national aid, should be
a sufficient guarantee against serious
abuse in that direction. At any rate, how
can the South be expected to be squeamish
about accepting such appropriations in

making upon the national treasury to pay
pensions to purely Northern soldiers. I'VE

liar levy of per cent on the Virginia
office holders; Foster denies emphatically
that the Ohio Republicans want or expect
any part Of Hubbelps levy, and SO doubt
less the Republicans OF Indiana and Hi
nois are ready to swear. Who gets the
Hubbell money? They say" good deal
of it goes to Michigan TO help Hubbell
himself in his fight to beat Perry and get
his seat in the United States Senate. Then
large proportion of the fund is wasted in
the south. For example, Washington
correspondent writes
Among Hubbell's enterprises was plan
to carry North Carolina by Democratic de-
feston. 1t was known that several Bour-
bons, who had failed to get office from their
own friends, were III the market, and had
frequently visited Washington TO exact
terms from the Democrats, or, as an alter
native, to sell out TO the Republicans. 1t
appears that Hubbell was caught in this
trap. Two thousand dollars were trans
ferred from the contribution box into the
pocket of oRe OF the North Carolina men,
who put the money where it would do him
the most good and left the "movemen" to
shift for itself
Then the administration and Hubbell
have adopted Geo. W. Jones, the green.
hacker, as their candidate for Governor In
Texas, and are boosting" him with money.
A similar alliance has been made with the
greenbackers IN Missouri and with the
democratic boilers in Tennessee. Wherey,
or a rotten Democrat can be found, or a
sorehead who is in the market the ma.
chine managers at Washington adopt him
in preference to a sound Republican. Tens
OF thousands OF the money levied on poor
men and women by Jay Hubbell are eX,
pended in this way for the profit of seedy
adventures who hardly have title to
their own votes.
