we have seen their torments pass away

s The HERALD has received number
of letters from persons desiring in
formation relative to the adaptation of
the soil of Los Angeles valley to the
growth of the sugar beet and what
would be the encouragement toward
the establishment of beet sugar fac
tory in this city. We, some months
ago, answered these questions in de-
tail, giving such data and facts as We
could obtain, and will briefly revert to
the subject again. The common beet
grows to'enormous size in this valley
and grows all the year round. There
was beet on exhibition at the Dis
trict Fair last Fall which weighed one
hundred and forty pounds, and we are
informed that some have been grown
weighing two hundred pounds each.
A single acre of soil will produce a
great many tons of the common beet
at one crop. We do not know that
the sugar beet has yet been tried here,
but Mr.. WADswoRTH, who is the pio-
neer sugar beet manufacturer of Cali
fOrnia and is better informed as to the
quality of soil best adapted for grow
ing the beet than any other man in
the State, gave the soil of this valley
his careful attention with a view of
establishing beet sugar factory here,
and the result of his Investigations
were so satisfactory that but for illness
he would have carried his purpose into
immediate execution This is the best
Endorsement we can give, and it is as
good as need be required as to the
adaptability of Los Angeles valley soil
to the growing of the sugar beet.
About the encouragement toward
building a mandatory here, we can
state nothing definite. We have
many wealthy citizens, who would no
doubt assist this as they have all other
enterprises established here. If the
opportunity offered the farmers would
generally take stock, as nearly all of
them can grow the sugar beet and the
factory would thus afford them ready
market for one of the products of their
farms.

Man is so constituted that all his
joys do now, and must forever, flow
into his soul through his senses. The
great map of earth is but q picture, or
painting, spread out before his vision,
from which his soul drinks in thou
sand delights from viewing the gor-
geous scenery, mingled as it is with
ten thousand shades and colors. And
while his soul is feasting upon the
delicate hues of earth's flowers they
are freighting the atmosphere with
the richest perfumes to enhance his
joy while he breathes, and through
the sense of taste all the sweets of
earth are presenting pleasures to the
soul. But when all our faculties are
in perfect health and harmony, there
is no medium through which pleasure
is conveyed to the soul with such in
spring power as through the sense


of hearing. This sense is more allied


to the affections than any other. It
is this fact that gives to music its
power. We know that each affection
expresses itself by peculiar tone of
voice. Sorrow means and walls; quiet
and gentle affections flow forth in soft
and winning harmony; joy is loud and
jubilant. Some chords are so plain
tive that they move us to tears quicker
than words; indeed, some phases of
affection can be expressed much more
fully and clearly by music than by
words. What heart so heavy and dull
that it does not receive a thrill of de-


light under grand harmony of sound ?


We have seen whole audience de-
lighted, thrilled, inspired and moulded
into perfect accord by the harmony of
music. There is language in music


that reaches the soul, infinitely above
the power of words, which touches
and vibrates upon the sweetest chords
of mans higher nature. It's effects,
however, are none the less positive
and lasting, for individuals and fami-
lies whose natures are softened and
whose thoughts are inspired most by
the sweet harmony of music, are more
congenial and heavenly in their ma
lures than those who are denied this
source of pleasure. No investment
compensates parents with richer re-
wards than the amount expended in
making their homes vocal with music
for their children, and corporations
and communities who tax themselves

of the magazine is briefly outlined in the
following prospectus. The steel engrav-
ings are numerous and comprise every
article of dress conceivable, and the colored
Fashion Plates are always true mirror of

chrome illustrations which adorn the book
from time to time, are entirely original and
add much to the artistic taste of the maya
zine. Godey's stories are too we'll known
by his tens of thousands of readers to need
more than a passing reference. Still other
features fully as valuable as any mentioned
add to the merit of the book; there are
valuable receipts, designs for the work
table; knitting, with colored engravings of
the same, netting, etc.


But the premium chrome, "The Morn
ing CALL" a beautiful Winter scene, is the
finest executed chrome that we have ever
met with as premium given by any pub
Usher. This splendid chrome is given as a
premium to every subscriber-single or in

EB MIR. S. Teackle Wallis returned to
his home in Baltimore, from New York,
on Saturday last, much improved in health,
though great care will yet be necessary, in
order to fully restore his throat to sound
ness. Since his return some of the gentle
men who have been active in the Reform
movement have consulted with him upon
the course to be pursued in regard to the
frauds by which the expression of the will
of the people was reversed. No doubt is
entertained but that sufficient proofs of
the fraudulent character of the election
can be submitted to cause the returns from
the city to be thrown out, if fair hearing
could be obtained from the Legislature.
1t has not been decided, however, what
course to pursue, it being judged best first
to obtain an expression of public opinion
on the subject. To this end the form of
call for meeting of the friends of Reform,
both in city and county, to convene at a
dty hereafter to be fixed upon, in Balti-
more, that expression may be given to the
popular condemnation of the so-called cleo
tion held there on Tuesday, November 2,
and for the adoption of such measures as
may be deemed proper in vindication of
the rights of the people and the purity of
the electoral franchise, is being circulated
for signatures. The success attending this
call and the action taken by the meeting
will direct the leaders of the Reform party
as to the course they shall adopt. 1t is
known that the Ring is already at work
upon the members elected from the coun-
ties endeavoring to secure their votes, but
it is hoped that the proposed meeting will
make such an appeal to the moral sense
of the citizens of the State as to secure
some redress.


Since the above was in type, Mr.. Wallis,
the Reform candidate for Attorney General,
has gwen Gov. Groome written notice that
he will contest the election on the ground
of fraud and iptim idation in Baltimore
City.

any kind of ideas derived from the brute
animals 1t would be extremely diff
cult, as you see. if we know nothing about
men.


Now, obviously that is the same diff,
Guilty under which the Scripture writers
lie when they explain the spiritual
world, and wht they explain to US the
condition of that third Heaven from
which our Lord came, and from which
angels come to US with rare and occa-
sional visits, with very different bodies
from what exist in this world. If that
visible heaven exists, if that place Of
strange and wonderful manifestation Of
God exists, and if the things that exist
in that place represent to US in certain
way the things that are to take place to
ourselves and our own bodies in the fu-
ture, that we as spiritual beings are to
exist in that renovated condition of this
earth, we have that same sort of difficult
tY, you see, that our supposed informant
would haVe,in describing our plan in the
terms of the mineral or vegetable brute
kingdoms. And we cannot expect to
have any clearer opinions of it than what
we find in Scripture by the use of the
terms that belong to things here, and we
can easily see that when we look back to
this plan as revealed to us in the history
OF the earth it is possible that our future
standard may be precisely of that kind
and that this may be thus obscure to us
because we do not possess the terms and
ideas by which it can be explained


Now l would affirm, therefore that the
possibility of the conditions of a third
heaven ultimately becoming the condi-
tion of the earth is not an unscientific
supposition, but is warranted by what we
know of the past history of the earth,
and the stages through which God has
brought US : but the main practical point
is that | think you should look into the
Scripture testimony in regard to that
heaven, and try to deliver it from that
unscientifc vapor that hangs about it in
popular thinking and speaking; and as
an example of that, and a sad example,
| lay before you the statement of the old
veteran, Strauss, in his last work. He
says "no man having clear conception
in harmony with the present standard of
astronomy can represent to himself q
Deity enthroned in Heaven" Now, as
tronomy shows that God may exert His
power from a great dominant center of
creation wherein his throne may be in

earth itself is said to be HIS footstool

Extreme opposing parties of conserva
tives and progressists are found in the
field OF Science, as well as in politics and
religion. Their continual strife is mu-
tually beneficial, each serving as check
on the other. Without conservatism,
the world would certainly rush into all
kinds of new theories, such as those in
which men of a progressive turn of mind
are very apt to indulge; while without
men of progress and improvement, the
world would stand still, and no advance
would be possible 1t is doubtful which
of the two would be the more deplorable
state of society.


History abounds with records of this
strife between conservatism and prog
ress; but in no field has the latter been
so successful as in that of Science, for the
simple reason that its triumphs. which
arc only to be achieved by the labor of
research, are based on positive facts,
which no opposition of conservatism can
upset; and the benefit of this opposition
consists only in the prevention of a too
rash acceptance of theories. before they
are sufficiently based on such facts as
make them incontrovertible.


We will take lew illustrations from
the fields of astronomy and remind the
reader that there was a time when the
whole human race considered our earth
to be fiat, and to consist of three con-
nected continents-Europe Asia, and
Africa-with some islands in the inland
seas and many others surrounding the
continents, all being situated in bound
less ocean, the limits of which were un-
known, and their investigation seriously
dreaded The ancient astronomers who
announced the rotundity OF the earth
were not believed, especially when con-
tradicted by the theological priests, who
then, as we'll, as later, arrogated to them
selves the enforcement of any peculiar
doctrines which best suited their self-in-
terest. But ultimately progressive Sci
ence prevailed, and conservative theolo-
gy had to acknowledge that it had been
in the wrong.


Next came the doctrine of the motion
of the earth The history of the perse-
cution of the great Galileo is of SO COM
paratively recent date that, looking at
| the progress OF the paesent day, 1t Is al
most incredible that only two centuries
ago the everlasting and important truth
of the earth's motion was denied, and
condemned as ungodly, by the whole
Christian Priesthood Protestant as well
as Roman Catholic But notwithstand
ing that this good man was compelled
when weakened by age and persecution
to swear to the falsehoods OF the priests


h truth has been demonstrated, anO
