sphere of the moon the earth hovers always in the
zenith. In measure as an advance Is made towards
the edge of the disk, globe appears to descend
progressively, and, from the circumference of the
lunar hemisphere II is observed to oscillate at the
horizon. In the course OF the long lunar night of
354 hours, which forms half of the durnal period
and succeeds daylight, the earth majestcally
in the heavens, undergoing her phases from the
first to the last quarter, and at midnight shines
with intense light fourteen times stronger than
that of the full moon. With 30 strong a light do
we illuminate that part of satellite which Is
dark at this epoch that 1t becomes visible from
here, owing to the reflection of the terrestrial rays
from its surface. This reflection of reflection Is
styled ashen light. The earth, enormous globe
of ever varied aspect, suspended at fixed point of
space therefore presents to the selenites charming
spectacle. The inhabitants of the invisible
hemisphere of the moon, where our globe Is un-
known, have to take a long voyage in order, from
the lunar face turned towards us, to contemplate
that magnificent star which we call the earth
and which up there must bear names that express
all the admiration that she inspires.

RENEWAL OF EARTHQUAKE DISTURB
ANCES.

Recently after a welcome period of re.
pose there was a slight renewal of the
earthquake shocks in South Carolina,
which year or two ago we're violent
enough to tumble down large buildings on
King and Meeting streets, in the old city
of Charleston.
A significant fact connected with this
fresh outbreak of the earthquake force
was the shocks in the re-
gion of Memphis on Friday evenin &
last. These and the South Carolina
shocks apparently have other relations
besides that of time. They occurred
practically in the same locality of the
earths crust, and in all probability pro-
ceeded from the same cause, the activity
of the same mysterious force, whatever 1t
is, and they show, if anything can be log
ically certain, that this occult force is in
period of activity in the locality of Ten
nessee and the Carolinss, of which
the Blue Ridge system forms so conspic-
ious feature. Had the great shock
which wrecked the palatial buildings of
@ arleston and caused the area of several
states to beave and tremble, been fol-
lowed by no Others, the conclusion would
have been reasonable from all that is
known of the history of volcanic and
earthquake disturbances that period of
repose, extending perhaps over centuries,
might have been hoped for. |
But repetition. of the shock probably
indicates coming volcanic disturbances,
and the opening of a crater in the vicin-
ity of what appears to be the center of
disturbance, near Charleston, either on
land or in the floor of the sea. The
lates. and most generally accepted theory
of earthquakes is that the force which
shakes large portions of continents
is nothing more than gas and heat gen.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The Express says: "Austin would like
to know what San Antonio is doing for
the Confederate Home. What is Austin
doing for the Alamo monument" The
STATESMAN has always been warm friend
OF the Alamo monument suggestion and
has urged the propriety of Texans uniting
and placing upon the site Of that heroic
struggle and sacrifice a monument worthy
TO commemorate the bravest fight and
most cruel slaughter in the western worlds
history. But in all conscience does not
the ext Confederate Home movement come
nearer to the people than even that
tribute to the past, to the memory of the
gallant deadH This is to be an asylum
for the INDECENT and suffering living. 1t is
not matter that can wait on days and
months. Time is bearing heavily on the
weary steps of our latter day heroes land
they must ere long lay down their load of
suffering. What is done to aid them must
be done quickly. Is not our first duty to the
living? The movement is debt of honor,
the Home is that debt, supplemented by
the greatest of all virtues, charity. Let
us build and endow the Home, and let us
do it quickly. The Alamo monument will
then soon follow.

PRACTICAL PULPIT WORK.


There is no gainsaying, and rightly so
it is, that the pulpit is tremendous power
in the land. Of our sixty millions of
population fully twenty million are, &C
cording to published reports, members of
one or another of the forty-six chief re-
ieious denominations of the nation. OF the
other forty million fully four-ffths of them
at one time or another and to greater or
less extent come under the influence of the
pulpit. And, as whole people, we are, to
an unreasonable degree, swayed by the re-
ligious and educational sentiment of the
times and our surroundings. So it is that
when the pulpit, with united effort and in
tention, moves along any given line
its influence is irresistible and
overpowering. And it is at this
point, if criticism is permissible, where
the church fails of its most practical re-
suits. Doctrines and dogmas are always
taught, are expended with the greatest
learning and ability, but such work is of
a generalized nature and has not that
direct effect just witnessed in Charleston
when the pulpit with united voice in
Weighed against one specific crime and
its cause. The people were beginning to
look upon the Dawson murder with
apathy and the foul monster who com
mitted that crime, in some quarters was
even being lionized. The ministers of
Charleston held joint conference, and
on the following Sunday, from nearly all
the pulpits of that city the law of chastity
was preached, and the sacredness of
human life as il was never
heard before. The result was
a complete revulsion of sentiment, and if
McDow's guilt or innocence were matter
for determination this week he would pay
the penalty for his diabolicsl crime on the
gallows, as his conduct richly merits
And is not such practical work the truest,
best sphere of duty for the pulpit? Re-
ligion is not thing for dress parade on
Sunday:it is something to live by each
day, and shape moral conduct by always.
The ministers of Charleston have act the
clergy of the Onion an excellent example,
and the influence of their act will widen
out and bear good fruit

MONEY! EsS AMONG STRANG-
ERS.
Rev. DR.. Gllbert's Experience in
the South-Thlnks Better
of Mankind.

Rev. DR.. j. E. Gilbert, who has just re-
turned from an extensive trip through the
south, tells of a somewhat remarkable ex-
perience he had while a passenger on a
north bound express train from Austin,
Tex. About 100 miles this side of Austin he
accidentally dropped from the train his
pocket book, containing his transporta-
tion tickets and all the money he had,
amounting to a considerable sum. As
quickly as possible he informed the con-
ductor of his loss, but as the train was
already several miles from where the val
uables were dropped, the Doctor would
not risk going back into the wild, unset
tied country to make search for the book.
One of the train men, however, agreed to
walk back and look for the valuables, and
the conductor was kind enough to advance
the doctor money enough to pay his fare
and expenses home. When the doctor
reached Little Rock he received telegr' m
from the train man who went to search for
the lost treasures, announcing that they
had all been found and would be sent to
Indianapolis. They have not yet
arrived, but DR.. Gilbert has no doubt
but what erything lost will be here
In few days. He says the incident has
given him more confidence In mankind
than he perhaps had before. He was a
total stranger to the train men, and might
have been branded as an imI o5ter by
them. Again, the train men who went
back to look for the money, had be been
dishonest, could easily have appropriate
it to his own use and no one would ever
have known of the fact.

of success.

The citizens of Llano have very prop
erly held an indignation meeting and de-
nounced the blowing up of the hoase with
a negro and his wife asleep in it. This
thing will go beyond the confines of Texas
and it is very well the citizens of Llano
have assumed a position which excludes
all suspicion of sympathy with most
cowsrdly and infamous crime. Justice as
well as policy demand that the outrage
and the villains who committed it be de-
nounced by the whole press of this state.
As the citizens of L'ano say, we don't want
any Hsymarket doings down in Texas.

But why Tanner should wish to continue

when the present surplus is gone, and the

Does Austin offer any such inducements?

The Washington Evening Star is get
ting nervous over the probability of its
city's losing the worlds fair in honor Of
what Columbus did. 1t says:
The New York World has discovered
that it was the first newspaper to suggest
worlds fair in honor of the landing of
Columbus in America. II that is cited as
reason why New York should furnish
site for the fair it is poor argument
As long ago as when Addison wrote his
Spectator papers the idea of telegraph
was preached in England, but it remained
for Morse to perfect the plan, get the
credit and reap the profits, after all. The
idea of a worlds fair may have been first
proposed in New York, or in Boston, in
Chicago or in Philadelphia, but it was in
Washington that the programme was fully
laid out and the work done which has given
the project its best impetus.
Unfortunately Washington is not the
money center that is New York or Chicago,
its great rivals for this fair. And it is
money that will tell, buying any thing, even
the privilege of holding fair. Washing
ton is questionably the most appropri-
ate city in the Union in which to hold the
fair, but we much doubt that it will secure
the prize.

Republic deserves 40 credit for this. The
only apology or excuse that needs to be
made for the democratic party is that it

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an iufamed condition of the
mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infsmed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucus surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Deafness, (cansed by cstarrh,)
