TIDAL AND SEISMIC WAVES.

Tho disastrous storm on the Atlantic Coast Of
the United States has been closely followed by
one Of even greater dcstructivcmss on the
COASTS of the British Isles. In both cases So
called tidal waves" have played an important
part. These were merely very high and stormy
tides. swcllcd to unusual hcich: and fury by the
wind. They inundated lowHing coast towns.
and swept away some buildings. They differed
In no respect save degree from the ordinary
tides that daily flow and ebb. Strictly speak

places as the Bay of Fundy. or still more no'i-

Hoogly and other rivers.
The same name has sometimes been applied.
with less propricty. to the most dreadful OF al
ocean phenomena. namely. the waves caused ny
earthquakes or submarine eruptions. Such was
that at Lisbon in 1855, which rolled up The
Tagrs forty feet high. and that on the coast OF

A WELCOME TO NEW READERS.

It is no pleasure TO The Tribune to note the
disappearance of one of Its Republican assocr
ates in the press OF New-YOrk. We nave seen
the time when The Tribune stood almost alone
in this great city in defence OF the Repupllcah
party, with its historic principle of protection
IN American work and workers which secured
not only the best prices. but payment in the best
money. From time to time we have welcomed
new recruits TO that inspiring standard, or haiied
he development of old journals on thorough
Republican lines Every evidence OF prosperity
in these allies was grateful proof Of increasing
support for our principles. and cause of sincere
satisfaction TO us We were glad when few
wears ago THE Recorder was started and made
sturdily Republican: and the hundred thousand
daily circulation which it attained was needed
reinforcement to the efficient Republican agen-
cjes which are the real promoters and safe
guards Of good times.
But the mad newspaper competition among
the Younger Journals of late years has brought
more than one prosperous experiment 10 crisis'
.rbe Recorder" propretors have decided not to
continue under existing unfavOrable conditions.
A suspension Of their journal, however left them
with large number OF unified SUBSCRIPTIONS
IN their hands, and they naturally turned to The
Tribune as the Oedu vi the ItePupH'ah P'''" "
helm them out We have felt 1t pleasure as
we'll as duty to cooperate with them in the
emergency. and have accordingly completed ar
rangements to put their daily, weekly and Sun
day lists upon our own. After the first night or
two the addition of their large weekly ana
Sunday calculations will not seriously crowd
the ample facilities Of The Tribune press
room: and we shall hope the newcomers Will
find themselves so well satisfied as to remain
among our permanent readers;-and Tribune
reader is generally about the most permanent
Institution known to the Journalism OF TINS con
,nent Some of the more popular and interest
ing features of THE Recorder will be trans
ferred to our columns for their benefit. We shall
hope. while retaining all the characteristics
which have distinguished The Tribune, TO widen
its scope so as still further to attract the classes
with whom THE Recorder was so welcome
Advertisers and the business community gen
orally will need no hints from us as 10 the i'm
nortance of this announcement.
