A Model and Universal Vacation Advo-

How Our Business Men arc Killed.


At Unity chapel, in Twelfth street, near Fourth
avenue, the Rev. DR.. Clarke preached to wonder
fully small congregation, consisting of about
twenty persons. His theme was vacation Les
sons" He endeavored to show that the taste OF
the age was groveling, and that the beautiful In
nature was neglected for the consideration Of
stocks and dollars. His theories about how vaca-
ton should be enjoyed, and about the universal
millennium, or the vacation time, are original and
refreshing. He could see no pleasure in being
packed like sardines into seaside caravansary or
of being eaten alive with mosquitoes In country
farm house, and still he recommended q departure
from the sultry city as being sautary to the moral
and physical organization.


BRILLIANT IDEA.


Mr.. Clarke thinks there should be such a vaca.

equal share, from the millionaire to the common

Sermon by Rev. DIR. Chapman.


Yesterday morning Rev. J. A. NJ. Chapman, d. d.
pastor of the st. Johns Methodist Episcopal
church, Bedford avenue resumed his ministra-
tions after several weeks absence. He preached
to large congregation, taking for his text the
twent y fifth verse OF the seventh chapter OF
Hebrews--"wherefor lie Is able also to save them
to the u,termost that come unto God by Him,
seeing He ever hvath to make intercession for
them.n After an appropriate and brief introduce
ton touching the scope and teaching Of the chap.
ter, DR.. Chapman proceeded to say that the nrst
thought suggested by the passage was that
man is away from God. The Bible everywhere
taught that man in his unregenerate
state was at a distance from God, not physically
out OF His presence or disconnected from the foun-
tain OF life but In moral character and In sympathy
he was away from God and living without hope in
the world. There could be no sympathy between
Q noble, pure and upright father, and vile, cor
rupt and sensual son, though the one might be
supported by the other. Such was mans natural

How THE WORLD WILL END--A FEAR
FuL Look AHEAD.-Planets are con-
tinually integrating diffused materials
which they encounter in their progress
through space, and it has been estimated
that the earth adds to itself nearly one
hundred and fifty billions of such meteor
ic particles every year. Secondly, it has
been proved that every planet must be


slowly losing part of its molar motion
of gravitation. The effect oftidal waves,
which are caused by the gravitation of
liquid toward other planetary bodies, is to
retard diurnal rotation; and, in fact, the
terrestrial day is heightened by reason of
the friction OF the tides, and is destined
in the remote future to give about 4S5
hours between sunrise and sunset The
earth is also losing molecular motion by
radiation. That some terrestrial heat is
lost without compensation-and very
slowly, of fcourse-can hardly be doubted; /;
and for the state of things thus untimely
TO be produced we may find a parallel in
the present condition of the moon. That
appears to afford an example of the uni
versal death which in an inconceivably
distant future awaits the entire solar sys-
TEN. If along with the dissipation of the
molar and molecular motions the planets
are also losing angular velocity, this loss
of motion win ultimately result in their
integration with the sun. OF two facts
which bear upon the subject, one Familiar
to all students of science) is the observed
retardation of Encke's comet by the re-
sistance of the medium through which it
moves. The other, which, so far as l
know, has not hitherto been mentioned, is
that all the planets are nearer the sun than
they ought to be, according to Bodies
law, the variation being most conspicuous,
as might be expected, in the case of Nep-
tune. 1t is at least worthy of notice that
the discrepancy is such as might have
been caused by slow diminution of the
angular velocities of the planets. Another
fact. that the interplanetary spaces are
filed with matter, and that, consequently,
all planetary bodies rushing through
them must meet with resistance and
lose momentum, proves that the i'm
mense momentum will be eaten up by

the resisting force. This loss of tan.
genital momentum must bring all the
planets into the sun. As the planet slow
ly draws near the sun its lost tangential
momentum is replaced, and somewhat
more than replaced, by the added velocity
due to the increased gravitative force ex-
erted by the sun at the shorter distance.
At the last the planet must strike the sun
with tremendous force. The heat gene
rated by the earth and the sun alone in
such a collision would suffice to produce
a temperature of nearly 100000 degrees
centigrade. OF course disintegration
would Immediately follow, and the next
stage is the dissipation of the whole into
a nebula.-Prof John Fiste.

and was not so when he assumed to act
as Governor, and has not been since the
fourth of November last. The condition
indispensable to capacity to act as Gov
ernor does not exist. He is a mere usurper
an instrument selected to accomplish


the revolution commenced by Judiciary


process, and enforced by armed soldiers.


The Legislature, operating with this


usurping Governor, comes together with


out legal evidence of any authority, and
has commenced operations by abolishing
courts that are filed by men elected by
the people in November by overwhelming
majorities, and in the place of these courts
a new court is provided, whose judge and
clerk are to be nominated by this acting
Governor and his Senate at his command.
1t is not surprising that a widespread SEN
tment of Indignation, disgust and detest-
alton prevails at these extraordinary pro-
ceedings. They are without parallel in
the annals of the United States. They be
token spirit of malice and of mischief
a determination to PROSTATE all the bull
warks of law and of social order under the
guise of Judiciary action, to secure ends
purely selfish and personal. They manifest
a contempt for the institutions of the
country, the peace of society, the guaran-
tees OF life, liberty, and of property that
has created alarm and insecurity. The
undersigned have been filled with amaze
ment ana apprehension that the guilty
authors of the measures can have the least
encouragement or support from the Presi-
dent or the Congress Of the United States.
We, as Citizens of the State of Louisiana,
and as having no party associations or
combination to disturb our judgment, and
impressed with the conviction that the
evils under which the State has suffered
from misgovernment will be aggravated
by these fragrant violations of law and
right for ends personal, do respectfully
ask that in this exigency the Associate
Justice of the United States assigned to
this judicial circuit may take charge of
the judicial administration of the Circuit
Court; that the employment of the army
of the United States in the administration
of this State be discontinued until the
peace of the State shall be disturbed
and, finally, that the President and the
Congress refrain from giving encourage
ment, countenance or authority to any
new government or officer until their IL
ties to act be validly ascertained and de-
termined.

BRUSSELS LACE.-It is easy to under
stand why Brussels lace is so costly, when
we reflect that the finest specimens of it
are so complicated as to require the labor
of seven persons on one piece, and each
operative is employed at distinct features
of the work. The thread used is of ex-
quisite ineness, which is spun in dark I'M
derground rooms, where it is sufficiently
moist to prevent the thread from separat-
ing. 1t is so delicate as scarcely to be
seen, and the room is so arranged that the
light admitted shall fall upon the work.
1t is such material that renders the genu-
inc Brussels ground so costly. On piece
of Valenciennes not two inches wide, from
two to three hundred bobbins are some
times used; and for larger, as many as
eight hundred on the same piece.

ALL CAN THINK.-lf there is anything which
l would wish especially to urge upon those who
have Eot had the advantage of much education,
it is that, if they but knew the way to do it,
they are far nearer to the best truth and knowl-
edge than they may perhaps suppose. In saying
this do not mean to undervalue education, even
the highest. 1t is an iDestimabe blessing; but
the real strength of the mind of man is indie
pendent Of it at least of much of it. merely
mean that there is no very great reason in the
nature of things, why person who has had little
education should not think about things as much
as do. The way to wisdom and truth may be
to one man through many books, to another,
through few to one as a result Of much leisure
to another of little. For of the many books
which are in the world, very large number, as
even small experience in book reading will show,
say the same things; and many say nothing more
than the mind, if wisely directed, might have
made out for ITSELF And for leisure, doubtless
many have little enough leisure for writing. and
little enough leisure for books; but all. think
we may say, have leisure enough for thought, and
for great deal of it.

We can tell whenever newspaper begins
n lean towards the great monopoly. When
Stanford's pills begin to act the paper is
dumb on all the acts of the company for a
while, then it commences apologzing for the
tools Of the monopoly; directly it abuses all
that say anything against the schemes of the
railroad; next it supports the men for office
the company name, and finally it supports
all the acts of the monopoly and abuses
everybody else, aud then it is full Aedged
"chickadedee The Nevada Transcript
has taken the degree where it is in order to
abuse every body that is unfiiendy to the
Vaccinations of the great monopoly. Now,
whether Sargent has mesmersed the Tran
script man and is leading him whittier he
pleaees, or whether it is an over develope-
ment Of the organ of reverence that makes
the Transcript bow down and worship this
big monopoly or whether it is acquisitiveness
and the instinct of preservation that acts
en- the Transcript, or all of these combined
we canno. say, but true it is, it has COM
,nenced abusing Gov. Booth, who is suppos-
ed not to belong to the railroad monopoly.
In its issue of Dec. 31st it makes two at
tacks on Gov. Booth, one headed 'Uusice
Defeated" and the other, "The Horrible
Murder" These attacks are made ostensi-
bly, because the Governor commuted the
.en:ence Of death against Donovan and sent
him to the State Prison for life, but this is
the excuse for the attack and not the object
10 be attained. What does the Transcript
car, tor the blood of Donovan, whether he
lies in prison for life, living example Of
what criminals must suffer, or whether he be
hanged by the neck until dead and then for
gotten? Nothing, simply nothing; but word
has gone out that Gov. Booth shall be at
tackled on all occasions and tie peol lie taught
to distrust and doubt both his ability and i'll
tegrity because he is in the way Of some
railroad tool for the United States Sen te


In this the Transcript is but following the
course laid down by the monopoly for all its
subsidy press, and all we have to do in the
matter is to point the public to the reasons
for these attacks on Booth that it may not
be misled as to the real object. In another
column will be found vulgar attack on
Booth by the San Francisco Republican,, the
central mouthpiece of GOrham. Stanford &
Co., which is but another evidence of the
anmus Of the subsidized press towards Gov.
Booth. We don't object to this, in fact we
like it, as it shows just what papers belong
to Stanford, Gorham & Co., and those that
are for the people. When the railroad army
and the people fairly divide, as they soon
will, then if the people are beaten VIC will
admit that Stanford should govern this State,
and that the people are not capable of self
government, but not till then.

The death Of King kamehamaha, the last
of his direct family race, leaves the Hawaiian
kingdom without Il legitimate monarch. This,
taken in connection with the Cabinet call for
an Unauthorized and llegiiimate legislative
body to meet and choose monarch for the
people without their consent, is creating dis
cussion at home and some commoion and
activity in diplomatic circles in America,
England and France. The Attorney-General


in the late kings cabinet is an American, and


is said to have been the ruling power for
Kamahamaha, that king being sort of dis
sipatins nobody. The English and French
Ministers are both absent on leave, and with
the American Minister at his post, the in
Ruence of the Attorney General and the pre-
ronderaiing American influence and popula-
tion on the islands, it will be the fault OF our
Administration if we don't now, just at this
opportune time, secure permanent prepon-
deraing power in and over the country for
all future time. The flag ship of the Pacific
squadron sailed from San Francisco for h on
olulu on Tuesday, carrying Generals Scho-
field and Alexander, Of the Pacific depart
ment of our army, and doubtless bearing in

the reorganization of the kingdom. On the
same day, early IN the morning, the British
man-ofwar "Scout" sailed from Victoria for
Honolulu, TO be followed by the "Champion'

Whether our Government has put the proper
power in the hands ofour army and navy rep
sentatives, or whether the men sent have
the necessary grit in the craw, combined with
diplomatic talents, depend the prospects Of
American success in this emergency. We
are not to be understood as desiring the i'm
melate annexation of the Hawaiian Islands
to the United States, but that we simply
obtain and retain a mastery or sort Of quasi

enough of debased negro government in the
South and while we don't want the same
thing repeated among the Kanakas, we must
at even the hazard of Il war with England,
see that she don't control these islands and
make them a menace and threatening post
right on the borders Of our coast and our
Pacific ocean trade. Here is chance for
Grant to raise himself above mere petty
usurpations aud carpet-bag stealing at home
and do something for the country in an en-

retares and lja officers of The Army and Navy
the talent and courage to meet this emer-

it win never fade. In her neigbbor-
hood she is the friend and .benefac-

Who does not love aud respect the

whose whole life has been a scene of
