Death, though not this time through hisnew
weapon the influenza, has seized another nota-
BILE victim. This is Professor John Couch
Adams, Lowndean Professor Of Astronomy at
Cambridge, who in 1845, foi ty,six years ago,
discovered by purely mathematical reasoning
the planet Neptune. He deduced from the
perturbatiOns of Uranus, not only that such
a planet must exist, but where it must be; and
hewas right,-probably the greatest single feat
ever accomplished by inductive reasoning. The
recognition TO his discovery wasdelayed through
some correspondence with the Astronomer.
Royal for nearly a year, and in the interval the
French mathematician Leverrier mastered the
same problem, and anticipated The EngliFhman
in p~rocleiming his discovery. The Royal AS
Economical Society, after a careful investiga-
ton of the facts, in 1S49 bestowed its gold
medal upon both. Professor Adams also
settled the orbit of the swarm Of shooting stars
which is known to astronomers as the Leonids.
and recurs every thirty-three years. Professor
Adams. though considered by those who knew
him as one of the glories of England " as utterly
unknown, even by name, to the mass Of Eu-
glishmen, and lived &retired life in Cambridge,
occupied with studies in reconcile mathematics.
Matters in Portugal have evidently reach
ed . crisis. An enormous sum-, more than 8
million, in bonds, has been distracted from
the offers of the Royal railway, and person
ages of great Importance are implicated. The
King has dismissed his Ministry and called a
new one, consisting of midale..class men, with
Senior Jose Dias Ferreira. at their head, and
they have promised reductions of the sternest
kind in every kind OF expenditure, including
ell salaries, and ell payments to Internal cred.
' itors: They will not attend to politics at all,
but WILL put the Treasury straight by q series
OF high protective duties. They will also
vigorously punish the authors of the recent
detalcstions. some of whom have already been
held to bail in enormous sums. The Army
and Navy will also be cut down, and the Colo
NAL expenditure. The public is said to be with
the new ministry, and they may supp ess
many abuses, but they will not put the finances
of the Kingdom straight without a liquidation
or without selling som Of their Colonies

How Germany Celebrates.

The Germans begin to celebrate the first
day of the new year on the last day of the
old. The 3lst of December, the day dedi
Gated in the calendar of the church to St.
Sylvester, pope and martyr is with the
vast majority of the people of northern
Germany the great festive day. or rather
festive evening of the winter Masquer
ades, private and public balls, and other
festive gatherings are the order Of the
night. No private house, no restaurant or
drinking place is without huge Sylvester
bowl of steaming punch, which has to be
replenished again and again for the toasts
drank to health and welfare of everybody
and everything in the coming new year
On the day itself-on the lst of January
the majority of the male population of
northern Germany suffer from headache in
consequence of toasting too freely their
friends and acquaintance during the pre-
vious night Calls are made on the day
among relatives and intimate friends only,
except that in the ponderous bureaucratic
system of Germany every government Off
Ger is expected to call on somebody above
him in rank. How it is managed that all
these state employees receive calls of their
subordinates, and in their turn make calls
on their superiors is IA mystery to outsiders

The Roman Caiends.

In the earliest calendars of the Jewish
nation, as well as in those of the Egyp
tians, Greeks and Romans, no mention is
made of the list of January The year did
not begin with that month, but with
March; but when Numa Pompilius be
came emperor he added January and Feb
ruary. The first month he named in honor
of the god Janus, the deity who was sup
posed to preside over doors and gates, and
might be inferred oo have something to do
with the opening of the year The Ro
mans dedicated the whole month to their
god because at that time the husband
men in southern Italy began their labors
in the fields and vineyards. The emperor
also decreed that henceforth the first day
or the 'calends" of January, should be
celebrated as New Years day Exchange

A Scottish Custom,

Dipping" is another practice followed
on New Years day, but it has nothing to
do with snuff. A Bible is opened haphaz

In Scotland friends are entertained on the
last night of the year, and as the clock
strikes midnight every one exchanges
kisses-men and all
In some parts of England band plays
religious music in the main street for an
hour before midnight, but as soon as the
New Year arrives loyal tunes and merry
airs are substituted, and a procession is
formed and the citizens march through
the town. Another old custom is to open
the doors and windows at midnight to wei
come the New Year. In ireland boys run
about on New Years day with little
twisted wisps of straw, which they hand
you as an omen of prosperity, and expect
an acknowledgment in return.-Selected.

The New Year-An Invocation.

Oh, bright New Year with joyous mien,
With heart unknown to piercing woe,
Scatter abroad the gold of peace,
And bid the waves of pleasure fowl
With rhythmic sound and trembling sheen,
Through the channels of each soul,
Command Wars laundering voice to cease;
Bid strong armed Plenty freely dole
Comforts to man: make Sol Increase
The useful products of the green.
Hush Discords voice that bringest forth
From fierce Pandora's box the ills
Unnumbered, that with lightning speed
Deep rack the bosom Of the earth.
Depopulate its habitable hills,
Poison its soothing streams and rills,
And to a desert change the mead.
Strike, too, the heart. deep, down, within.
O'erwhelm It with disgust for Sin.
Cause Charity and Love to reign
Triumphant DER each hill and plain.
Crush Mammon's head; to God alone
Let alteration true be shown.
Then loudly do we shout to thee
Welcomed welcomed
