Corremondsnce New York Merald, Brauin, Dec. 22.—Bagard Taglar died on Thuradny, the 15th insl., at abont 4 o'clock In the alternoon. He had been ailing for s consfil- erable time, but was, up to the last, unaware of the dangerous character of his indisposition. Unfortunately, the doctors st first mistook the form of hin dixeare, and, inttead of scnding him to Carlebad when it was still time, allowed tho Mini-ter to remain at Berlin, oceapied with the dutles of, his office and in pursult of his literary vocatlon. Shortly after the Coneress Mr. Tay- Yor began to complata of paina in bis side.

He expired vers quietly, almost without a atrugele. When his soal’ had de- parfed, bis wife and daughter, holding his hands, were scarcely canscious that he bad passed dron this workl, The grief and sor- row ot hin demise wore everywhere most alnecre. Despite hin comparativeiy short uccreditation in Berlin, be had by his noble shwplleity and win- plug manucrseatned the sympathy and good will of ull who had come in contact with him, Never belure has the representative of nforetea coantry_been so cordinlly welcomed o8 Mr. Bayard Taylor.

Prof, Youne's observations on the fnjection of partfenlar lines into the _chromosphere durlng solar storms gre aiso difficult to reroncile with thia view, and If the conciusions drawn from previous reacarchies are correct, It atso does not acconnt for the short-line colueldences which led Mr. Lockyer to his hypothesls, Chemists are careful to tearh that what are at present regarded ns ciements are not necca- sarlly simpla budics, but merely snbstances which they are unable to decompose, or which they bave no specisl reason to regard as com- und budles. The remarkablo relations, both n atomic weight and properties, existing be- tween tany of the elements tend, indeed, to show that they are refated in the munner Mr. Lockyer supposes. | I0WA’S NEXT GOV:ERNOR.
