ECCENTRIC PREACHERS -FriGr Cuthber5
was one of the class of jocular preachers
so popular in medieval times. They
preached what was called Risus PaschnLes
comic hom!lies for Easter Their works
have been printed, and the student of
early manners may consult them with adj
vantage, though he may be repealed by
their coarseless. They were bold satirists,
dwelling perhaps too exclusively on the
baser aspects of human life. In their de.
nunciation Of prevailing vices they did not
spare the most exalted personages. Mail
lard the cordelier so iIritlsed Louis XII.
by his structures that he threatened to have
him thrown into the Seine. "The King
may do as he pleases, replied the undaunt,
ed preacher, "but tell him that shall
sooner get to Paradise by water than he
will arrive by all his post horses" Bat we
shall best give the reader an idea Of the
style adopted by these jocular clergy by
quoting few sentences from sermon
preached by Father Onorato, the Capu-
chin, which we have como across in a curl
Gus old Italian work. In the course OF the
sermon he brought into the pulpit a skull,
whioii, he addressed as follows IS Speak,, =,
he said, "speak and tell me whether YOU
were not once the head of magistrate !?
You don't answer? Silence shows con-
sent. He then placed upon the head a
Judges cap, exclaiming at the same time,
Have you not often sold Justice
for gold ? Have you not often
been in league with the advocate in order
TO deprive the widow and the fatherlessl
of their rights You don't ansysr? ST.
lence shows consent" He-tf7en laid 1i~gn
the skull and took upSnother, to which he
exclaimed, "We.e you not the head of
| one of those light damsels whose
every thought is given to their coquet-
ries I" Then taking cuff from his sleeve,
he placed it upon the hideous relic of hu-
manity, crying Miserable head, where
are now the soft, languid glances that used
to captivate the unwary? Where is that
beautiful mouth which formed such fasci-
mating smiles? Where are now the pearly
teeth, where the rouge, where the cosmet-
les with which the face was so often
| painted" And go on in this strain the
Capuchin continued, describing all the va
rious conditions of life, aud altering the
position Of the skull, which he held in his
hand, according to the subject with which
ne had TO zeal. TN one occasion Eouis
XIV. asked Bourdaloni, the famous orator
of Notre Dame, his opinion of Onerato.
"Sire, was the reply, "that preacher
tickles indeed the ear, but also pricks the
heart. People return at his sermons the
purses they steal at mine"

THE FLIGHT OF BIRDS.

Mr.. +. W. Brearey read the other day
before the London Aeronautical Society a
paper on the action of the pecsoral muscle
in the flight of bird. Experim mentors in
artificial fight, he said, should reduce their
theories to demonstrsble form. 1t had
often been stated, for instance, that the
power exerted by bird in its fight had
been greatly exaggerated, but no one had
hitherto proved his assertion. Il was ca
pable, however, of satisfactory proof by
demonstrating artiticially the action
OF the pectoral muscle, by the
accessory to power. When the bird
committed itself to the air the upward
pressure in the wings stretched the
elastic ligsment, which formed part of
the muscle, to such an extent as to allow
the birds gliding upon the air without
any exsrtiea.- weight OF the bird
was tie measure of this elasticity. 1t
was said by tome that at least the bird
must POSSESS the power by the downward
stroke of the wing to raise its own
weight But Mr.. Brearey said that this
was not an absolute necessity, because the
reaction Of this elastic hgament aided
the force of the down stroke. He pro-
ceeded to verify his assertion by the
action of model, with wings of four feet
spread, under which he had attached an
elastic cord passing under the body of the
model. Upon committal to the air this
just allowed of the wings being expanded,
so that the model would glide downward.
He then detached the cord and wound DIP
his power, calling attention to the fact that
he had wound the India.rubber strands
thirty iwo times. He shovel, however,
that although this was sufficient to create
vigorous Tapping of thewipg when held in
the hand, yet16 committed to the air
it had not u power to give one downward
stroke, and therefore it could only guide
as bef,rs. Holding it again with the
cord attached and the power wound up
the sane number Of times, he showed that
il was unable to flap tie wing, because
the two forces were exactly held in
equiiblizn. There was .. si,iIj factor
wanted before it could fly, and that
was weight. The model being lib.
Grated, flight was well sustained,
aud upon being set.free several times with
out being wound up any further, it ap.
peared able to fly with very weak power.
The same thing was observable with an
other model, composed entirely of loose
surface thrown into wave action-his own
invention. Mr.. Brearey remarked that this
economy in fight can only be obtained by
something of the nature of wing action,
and must be wholly wanting in any appara-
tus actuated by the screw.

NOTES.

Robert Thompson, Grand Worthy Chief
Iemplar OF the Independent Order of Good
Iemplars, an organization with a member
ship of 10000 in this State; Rev. NJ. c.,
Briggs, Chairman Of the Executive Com.
mittee of the late Prohibition Convention,
representing leo constituencies, and Rev. +.
w. Shesrer, representing the Ministerial
Union OF San Francisco, are here as com.
mites TO ask the Convention to embody in
the platform LEGAL option plank, and this
request will take the form of demand.
The resolution this committee will
ask to be adopted is in this form,
and nothing less than this will the COM
mittee be willing to accept "Resolred,
That the legal control, regulation ana restric
ton of the sale of intoxicating liquors should
be by such legislation as will carry into effect
the provhions of Section IL, Article XII, of
the STATE Constitution, which declares that
any county, city, town or township may
make and enforce within its limits all such
local, police, sanitary and other regulations
as are not In conflict of general laws" They
say taatth Republican party has no chance
to defeas The Democracy, except by the sid
OF the vote they represent and the defec.
ton from tie Democratic party caused
by the platform of that party on the Sunday
law. Therefore, say they, as we owe the Re-

given etfsct by legislation localities
that are prohibition in sentf> and shall
desire to avail of the priviyge afforded
by the provisions of the Constitution as
above cited, to prohibit the lieuor traffic.
1t Is ncte of singular suggestiveness that
majority of the Committee on Resolutions
and Platform were members of the old Dolly
Walden party.
The Sunday law people were last evening
very loud in their expression that il the Con-
vention declines to take decided stand on
thSt Issue. they will decline to take any part
in the election, but will stay severely at
home.
One of the peculiarities of the Convention
is much talked of-that is, the giving te the
temporary Chairman the power to name per-
manent committees.
In no former Convention has there been
noted as present SO many of the leading men
CT the party.
The reportorial corps in attendance at the
Convention is exceedingly large.
The delegates to the Republican State
Convention from Merdocino, Humboldt aud
Del Norte counties, which compose the
Twenty-seventh Senatorial District, met at
the parlors Of the Golden Eagle Hotel at 10
A. NJ. yesterday. TIL. Caruthers was elected
Chairman. J. d. Il. Chsmberin was nomi-
mated on the first ballot for State Senator.

MY LOVE.

My loves worth all the world to me;
Her walk to others pace is light.
When she comes by the sun rides high,
And when she's past, It's night,
Her gentle voice, that bids "good-day,"
Is music that my soul loves best
Her deep.set eyes, her low replies,
The dreams that haunt my rest.
Her presence, like fresh morning showers,
Gives to all things refreshing grace;
If she but stoop, sweet buds that droop
Gaze up into her face.
That May-day face-where nothing lives
That is not bright for long tOgeth r;
Thoughts come and 90 like winds that blow
The clouds in golden weather.
Life's passing shades have scarcely chilled
The gladness Of her spirits light
o when she's by, the sun seems high,
And when she's past, It's night
