In Search Of Information and Favor.

A minister while riding along lonely
road in Arkansas that glided under tall
bushes and wound around rugged hills,
approached man who stood at the
gate of a rude house. The minister
addressed a question to the man, but,
without replying, the latter turned to-
ward the house, bowed to woman
who appeared in the doorway, and
said:
"Good mornin', madam; how's your
health an the health of your family"
The woman did not reply. "Nne day,
madam" continued the man, "only the
suns strikin' down mighty peart. "
Still the woman did not reply.
''My friend" said the minister, 81
am to preach at Harvey's Point and
would like to know how to get there. "
Don't you know?" asked the man.

"Then how do you expect me to
know more about your business than
you doP Say, there, madam" turning
to the woman, I'D like to come in and
make myself at home. How's the
prospects,"
The woman made no reply, but, kick
ing cat out of the way and ''shooing
a chicken that came up on the steps,
she leaned against the door-facing and
regarded the man with lack of in
terest that characterizes the sweep OF
an eye over barren waste.
THE church is situated near here, is
it not?" asked the minister.
''Yes, but it is nearer to some places
than it is to here
''Say, madam, l am very glad to see
you, an hope that our relations may
be pleasant. "
The woman made no reply.
(Which way must ] 60, as the roads
have been changed"
go down the creek. Compliments
of the day, madam
"Will following the road down the
creek take me there?'
'I've dun told you. If you know
better, go up the creek, and he smiled
and bowed to the woman.
"You seem to take great pleasure in
being polite to the lady at the door.
Who is she?"
The boss"
''1he boss OF WHAT!
The situation. She's my wife"
"Why do you stand out here bowling
to her?"

BABY GROWING.

Baby is only one year old,
Fair and sweet as a daffodilly;
Hair as bright as the crinkled gold
Hid in the heart of a water-lily.
Baby is only two years old,
Tongue like a piping bob o. lincoln,
Trllls more songs than can e'er be told,
Or ever Il birdie would dare to think on.
Baby is only - who's been stealing
Out my arms and off my knee
My babyI The gypsy years came kneeling
And stole my baby away from me.

when the centrifugal force detaches a
fragment of the nebula. The process
of condensation still continues both i'm
the fragment and in the central mass;
the fragment changes from the gaseous
state to the liquid, perhaps even from
the liquid to the solid, and thus be-
comes planet. Still the central mass
condcnses and spins more and more
rapidly until rupture again takes
place and second planet is produced.
Again, and still again, the same pro-
cess is repeated, until at length we
recognize the central mass as our great
and glorious sun, diminished by inces-
SAINT contraction, though still vast and
brilliantly hot. One of the lesser
fragments which he cast off has con-
solidated into our earth, while other
fragments, greater and smaller, have
formed the rest of the host of planets.
There are many features in the planets
which seem to corroberate this view of
their origin. They all revolve around
the sun in the same directions they all
revolve on their own axes in the same
directions; that direction being also
coincident with the suns rotation on
its axis. Most astronomers are agreed
that the history of the solar system has
been something of the kind that have
ventured here to sketch.

Foreign Labor Notes.

In the Argentine Republic IA 500
men are now employed in railroad
construction.
The Agricultural Laborers' Union,
organized by Joseph Arch, has mem-
bership of $4,000.
Seven of the largest English trades
unions have spent in six years O,O00,-
900 for the defense, support and relief
of men out of work.
In England there are womens' un-
ions of okbnders, dressmakers,
power-loom weayers, tailors and up
holsters, besides a Women's Trades
Council. They have mem bership of
about 5000.
The trades councils in England and
Scotland are active and large. The
London Council represents IA 1874 ac-
credited members. Glasgow has II,
900 members, Edinburg 5000, Man
chester 6 1000, and Bolton 6 500.
The Engineers and Machinists' I'm
ion has a membership of 50,O 900. Dur
ing the year 1879 it distributed $3.50, 900
10 members who were out of work. In
the past five years it has paid for the
same purpose 81 ,935, 600.
The English Miners National Union
has comprehensive but quietly work
ing system of assisted emigration.
Large colonies are located in illinois,
and there are prosperous settlements
in that state made by the migrating
members.
The membership of some of the
English Unions is as follows: Boiler
makers, $4,000; weavers, $4,000; car

The Theory of Cycles.

The Continent, III speaking of the
theory of cycles or the belief that "the
material universe moves in circles, and
events repeat themselves in groups at
certain intervals, not as yet thoroughly
understood by mankind, but which are
probably regulated by fixed laws, the
secret of which may sooner or later be
unlocked by SCIENCE" says:
This is forcibly brought to mind by
the events of the past five or six years.
Within that period the earth appears
to have been especially subject to in
ternal disturbances. Volcanoes long
silent have again given signs OF activity,
and some of them have burst into
fierce eruption. Something like score
of volcanoes have been reported, and
in the Straits of Sunda a single day
witnessed the appearance OF dozen or
more. These phenomena have been
preceded, accompanied and followed
by the most alarming terrestrial dis
turbances. To-day it is Asia Minor,
yesterday it was Java, the day before
it was Ischia; and in al cases there
have been fearful loss Of life and
universal terror. In the Southern
hemisphere, too, there have been
strange atmospheric effects, the sun
apparently shining through veil of
blue or green, and coloring all things
with strange, awe-inSpring light.
| Doubtless this last phenomenon is due
to volcanic eruptions in remote South
American regions, accounts OF which
have not as yet. reached the telegraph
! lines. 1t is q little remarkable that while
| these disturbances are beyond the reach
of human forecast, the highest civiliza-
ton seems to have centred in terres-
trial belts which have not been subject
| to upheaval within recent geologic
periods. France, Germany, Eng land
! and the United States are, for the most
part, ouvoiuo ui ,no oal cni :;.a0 5c!!., &C
far as its limits are at present defined.
1t is not reassuring, however, 20 know
that we are probably passing through
a period OF terrestrial disturbance
which may not reach its maximum with
out giving us all a taste OF its power.
This earth of ours runs so smoothly
along its e'liptical track, performs its
own mechanical functions ordinarily
with such perfection, that 1t is hard to
realze how small thing, comparative
ly considered, may throw the machinery
out of gear. There are unknown forces
imprisoned within its surface, which
now and then give us hint of their
existence, and there are unnamed eX-
tinct suns drifting about through space
on whose bulk the wrecked earth
would barely make a hillock. 1t is
enougA for us at times to remember
these conditions, and reflect how utter
ly insignificant is our home and its be-
longings in comparison with the uni
verse of which we form a part.
