The Volcanic Eruption in Java.


New YORK, Aug. 29.-Details have
been received by specials from Lon
don of the volcanic eruptions and the
resulting tidal waves in the island Of
Java, which began last Saturday
night and still continues. There was
f.ightful loss of life and destruction
of property. Some two thousand Chi
namen living on the low ground at
the entrance of Batavia harbor were
drowned by the rising waters and out
of $500 Europeans and Americans
living in that city 500 are said to be
lost. At Angler showers of falling
rocks, mud and lava followed by the
rising waters destroyed 1000 people.
Bordan is entirely covered with wa
ter and 1000 people have been
drowned. The island of Serang is
submerged and all its inhabitants
have perished. Several other places
are said to have sha' ed like f.te.
Nearly one half of the forty v"lca-
noes on the island are in eruption or
threatening it and it is feared no Sec
ton of the islani will escape without
great loss OF life and damage to
property.

Put on Your Studying Cap but
You Needn't Draw It
Down.
Isn't It True ?

Isn't it true that when a few weeks
at the fartherest you will be COM
PEELED to buy fall and winter goods I?
Isn't it true too, that if you were to
put on your studying cap-and you
wouldn't have to draw it down
very far either-you could sit
down and write out a list which would
contain nearly every article that you
will be compelled to buy between
now ard '84? Isn't it true too, that
it you can buy these goods mow, ten
per cent. or perhaps greater per
cent. less than you will have to pay
two months hence that it will be
a matter of economy for you to do so:
You will no doubt mentally answer
all these questions in the affirmative,
and although at the present time and
for a few days to come we will posi-
lively sell you any article of our en-
tire stock, including recent heavy
shipments of fall and winter goods,
at lest ten per cent. lower than you
will have to pay few weeks hence,
there will probably be some people
who will through sheer negligence
let this opportunity pass. The at
fractions and improvements which
we are now making to our place of
business make it advisable for US to
offer you inducements to buy now
for we want to get the goods cut of
the way of the workmen as fast as
possible. These inducements are
bona fde, and We ask you to investi-
gate them closely, for the truth has
to fear.
Very respectfully,
SANDS & BOYCE.

SUNDAY.

From the god of tho sun, who rep
resented the glorious luminary of th
day, and Was among the chief objects
of worship by the Saxons. He is de
scribed in history, as being like thu
bust of a man setting upon pilla
holding, with outstretched arms, {
burning wheel before his breast. Th'
first day of the week Was especially
given to his worship, which wa
termed by them Suns day; anC
theretrom we derive Sunday.
MONDAY.
From the god of the moon, which
was represented by woman dressed
| in a short coat, with a hood on her
head, and two long ears. while she
held in her hands a representation OF
the moon. The second day of the
week was set apart for her worship
and was called by the Saxons Moons
day; and from this we get our Mon.
day.
TUESDAY.
From the god Tuisco, who Was at
first known as the father and ruler of
the Teutonic race, but in the course
of time he was worshipped as the son
of the earth. He is represented stand
ing on a pedestal as an odd venerable
sage, clothed in the skin of an ami.
NAL, and holding in his right hand a
scepter. The third day of the week
was dedicated to his worship, and
was named Tuisco's day-which we
call Tuesday.
WEDNESDAY,.
From the god Wooden, who was
one of the supreme divinlties among
the Saxons. His exploits form the
greater part of the Psychological
creed of this people, and his
achievements are magnificent be-
yend all credibility." Wooden is
represented in a bold and martial at
titude, clad in armor, and with d
broadswold uplifted in his right
hand. The fourth day of the week,
deriving its name from this person.
age, was known as Weden's day
which we ter m Wednesday.
From the god Thor, who was the
eldest and brayest of the sons of WO-
den and Friga, and was, aft r his pa
rents, considered the greatest god
among the Saxons. He is represent
ed as sitting on throne with a
crown of gold on his head, adorned
with a circle in front, wherein were
set twelve bright, Furnished gold
stars. and with regal scepter in his
right hand. To him the fifth day of
the week was conseorated, and called
by them Thor's day, and by Us
Thursday.
FRIDAY.
From the goddess Friga, who was
the wife Of Wooden, and next to him
the most revered aivinity among the
heather Saxons. To her the sixth
day Of the week was given, ana was
named by them Friga's day, and by
us Friday.
From the god Scatter. who is spoken
of as standing on a pedestal, where
on is placed perch, on the sharp and
lhorny lack OF which he stood. His
head was uncovered, and his appear
ance was that of slender parsonage.
And in his left hand was pail of
water, wherein were flowers and
fruits; and his habit consisted of a
long coat girded with linen at the
waist. The day given to his worship
was called Seater's day. and from it
we have derived saturday.
Thus we see, that the names of the
days of our week. are derived from
heather gods, and from the worship
paid them by their devotees.
