Jules Verne Has a Vision.

M. Jules Verne has been speculat-
ing as to what will be the daily life of
people ZOO years hence, says The Pail
Mall Budget AS science extends
her dominion it is noticeable how in
creasingly ambitious such forecasts be-
come. Nothing will satisfy M. Verne
but aerial trains travelling at the rate of
625 miles an hour; atlantic
tubular service, conveying the traveller
from London to New York in 295 min
utes; telephote" which enables
people in different hemispheres to dine
with each other, or at least to see
and converse with each other while
eating, and accumuators for condens-
ing and radiating at will the suns rays.
Such are the advantages to be enjoyed
by the inhabitants of a certain city
called Universal City," the capt.
tai of the United States in the year
of grace 2S91. England by that time
will, according to NJ. Verne, have be-
come province of the United States.
The public will be kept informed of
the latest political developments, not
only upon the terrestrial globe, but
upon Jupiter, Mars and Venus. Not
that they will read newspapers. The
newspapers of the day will be spoken.
Brilliant descriptive writer's will be re-
tanned to speak through the telephone
to millions of subscribers, and daily in
stallments of novels to be continued to.
morrow morning will be given by pop
ular authors. Man is to be fed on the
choicest viands, laid on as New river
water is at present, and it will be suffi-
Gent to step into toilet cabinet to be
tubbed, shaved, dressed and brushed in
the space of two minutes. Even a
new digestive apparatus, warranted
for two years will be obtainable.
But one thing we, or rather our poster
ity, are told not TO expect. They must
not expect to live forever. A certain
DR.. Faithburn's experiment in freezing
his own body and causing himself to
be kept for 100 years turns out COM
plete failure, so obstinately does he re-
fuse to be resuscitated.

An Old Boston Sunday.

Bennett, an Englishman who trav eled
about New England in 1740, in search
of novel scenes, is quoted by Mr.. Lodge
in his " History of Boston"
"Their observation of the Sabbath,
it is the strictest kept that ever yet 1
saw anywhere. On that day no man,
woman, or child is permitted to 90 out
of town on any pretence whatsoever;
nor can any that are out of town come
in on the Lords day. The town be-
ing situated on peninsula, there is
but one way out of it by land; which is
over a narrow neck of land at the south
end Of the town, which is enclosed by
a fortiication, and the gates shut by
way of prevention. There is ferry,
indeed, at the north end of the town;
but care is taken by way of prevention
there also. But if they escape out of
the town at either of these places, it
wouldn't answer their end, for the
same care is taken all the country over,
to prevent travelling on Sundays; and
they are as diligent in detecting
offenders of this sort, all over the New
England government, as W. in England
are in stopping up of highways-more :;
and those who are of the Independent
persuasion refrain from any attempt of
this kind, in point of conscience. And
as they will by no means admit of trad
ing on Sunday, so they are equally
tenacious about preserving good order
in the town on the Lords day: and
they will not suffer any one to walk
down to the water side, though some of
the houses are adjoining to the several
wharfs; nor, even in the hottest days
of summer, will they admit of any one
to take the air on the Common, which
lies contiguous to the town, as Moor.
fields does to Finsbury. And if two or
three people, who meet one another in
the street by accident, stand talking
together, if they do not dispense i'm
mediately on the first notice, they are
liable to fine and Imprisonment; they
commence the Sabbath from the setting
of the sun on the Saturday evening,
and in conformity to that, all trade and
business ceases, and every shop in the
town is shut up; even barber is
Unable for shaving after that time.
Nor are any of the taverns permitted
to entertain company; for in that case
not only the house, but every person
found therein, is Unable. This strict OBJ
servance of the Lords day is
now in full force and vigor and the
justices, attended with posse of con-
stables, go about every week to compel
obedience to this law"
