THE NEW PRINCE.

The Sobrsnje has at last elected 4
prince for Bulgaria TO succeed Prince
Alexander. The fortunate, or IN
fortunate msn-which, is yet to be
proven-Tho has been elected is Prince
WaIdtmar, the third son and the sixth
child of King Christian TX, the relgning
King of Danmark; and Queen Louise,
daughter of Lsndgreve Wilhelm, of
Hesse- Cassel.
Prince Waldemar Elect was born
October the 9th, 1855, and is, conse-
quently, % years old. He was chosen
by the Bulgarian Sobrsnje yesterday
afternoon, by reclamation, and, ap
parently, amid great enthusiasm of the
members of that body. But the people
present in the galleries did not share
the enthusiasm. for the reason perhaps,
that they recognized in the cleo
ton of Waldemsr, a secret yielding
TO the known wishes of Russia,
and knew that the hearts OF
their representatives, were not in their
votes, nor in their voices that cheered
the newly elected Prince. Yet, under
all the circumstances, what else could
be done7 While the majority Of the
other nations who were parties TO the
Treaty OF Berlin synpathised with Bull
garia, their interest aud sympathy
were not sufficiently deep to make them
risk offending powerful Rusna, in
their support Of Bulgaria. And their
summer sympathy was not sufficient
to drive out of the little principaIity
such men as kaulbars. who has been
the author of many of those secret in
trigues leading 10 the completely of
Bulgarian affairs. So that while WAL
demar is not the choice Of the people,
or of their representatives in the So
branje, still it is the best that can be
done. And under the temporary quiet
that will follow the election, the brave
people of Bulgaria may lay their plans.

TIE NoN-roo SOLID EARTH.

The recent earthquakes in our south
east coasts have set the people down in
those regions to thinking seriously
upon the instability. not only OF all
earthly things. but Of the earth itself,
and doubtless they think lat mountains
are as unstable as Clouds and perhaps
it would not be difficult 20 convert TO the
Bible doctrine that the earth is to be
rolled up like scroll, and TO wax old
like germent and to pass away. The
Atlanta Constitution says:
The story OF the lost Atlantis may be only
q story Our history is so incomplete, and
covers such q brief period, that We have no
record of some of natures mighuest con
vulsions.
Leaving Atlantis out of the question, and
accepting the assumption OF the scientists
that the Creators work is finished in the
Atlantic, the known facts concerning the
Pacific are sufficient 10 convince US that me
