POETRY AND SCIENCE.
a Blank Verse Description of the
subtle Magnetic Fluid.


subtle Magnetic Fluid.
Philosophers and physicists are com
monty supposed TO be too deeply en-
crossed in dry facts and figures 10 have
time for the poetical Interpretation of
science, but the definition of electricity
given to an inquiring young woman by
the late Galileo Ferraris is direct con-
tradiction of this. To her question he
answered.:
Since Maxwell has demonstrated
that the vibrations of light might con-
sist of periodical changes of electro-
magnetic forces, and as Hertz has given
MaXwelrs theory an experimental basis
with his proof of the similarity existing
between electromagnetic waves and
light waves, the belief becomes more
and more firmly established that this
light-conveying ether and the medium
in which the electric and magnetic
forces act are identical. Therefore l
may well reply TO the question, o studi-
Gus and charming maiden: What is
elcetricity?' that it is not only the fear
full agent which at times lights up the
heavens suddenly and startles the soul
with its loud clapping of thunder, but
also the life-giving and life-awaliening
cause which, as light and heat, brings
forth the magic color and the breath of
life. which transmits 10 thy heart the
pulsations of the universe and awakens
in thy soul the charm of glance and
smiles"

Steamboat company at Urbana, on the
Rappahannock river. lately brought up
to Baltimore curiosity discovered by
him which has created considerable in
terest among steamboat people about
Light street wharf, reports the Balti-
more American. 1t is live oyster of
large size growing out of the
mouth of yeast powder bot
tie, which was found on the
shore of the Rappahannock river. The
oyster is considerably larger than the
bottle, and only small portion is in
side. Upon the sides of the bottle are
several small oysters of tiny size, firm
ly fastened there. Mr.. Nelson has
brought up story more wonderful
than his oysters, and for which there
has as yet been no evidence produced.
II is of an old gentleman who lives near
Urbana, and who, SO the story goes,
while bathing during the summer lost
a set of false teeth. which fIoated away
or went to the bottom. Lately, while
dredging, an oysterman brought up to
the surface a pair of false teeth
around which number of oysters
We're clinging. some of them of good
size, and fastened on firmly. The old
gentleman promptly identified his
teeth, and keeps them as Il curiosity.

board and narrowly escaped being de-

THE EASTERN cHERokeEs.
Decision of a Federal Court That The,

y
Are Not Citizens.
In n decision by the United States
court of appeals in the western district
of North Carolina. says the New York
Sun, it has been virtually declared that
the eastern band of Cherokee Indians
ere not citizens of the United States.
Some of these Indians have been vot-
ing for 80 years. They have more than
once held the balance of power between
the two political parties in western
North Carolina. The chief question In
yolved is the right of the eastern band
of Cherokee Indians To sell the timber
from land for which il holds deed,
The decision of tho court is that the
band has no right to make any con
tract whatever without the sanction of
the United States government. The
court says the eastern band did not
become citizens by virtue Of the treaty
OF New Echota inis85. tits remarkable
that the court In it's decision ignored
the case upon which the defendants
mainly relied, that OF the cnse Of the
eastern band OF Cherokee Indians
against the western band, decided by
the supreme court OF the United States.
