First they look at it, then they but at it, and then they use it.” —Areligions journal, in scouting Guitea claim to have been impelled to his act of assassi- nation by the Deity, observes: “A criminal once said to a Judge that God had foreordained that he should commit the ne for which he iad been arraigned.” To which the Judge replied, that God had also foreordained that he should sentence the criminal to death for the crime. — At the fourth quarterly conference of Union M. E. church, held last evening, resolut were adopted complimentary to the Rev. B.

The resolutions bear testimony to his efficiency, courtesy, and impartiality as a presiding officer. —A census of theattendance at all the churches and chapels in Liverpool, England, taken on Sunday, October 16, shows a very striking di- minution as compared with a similar census which was taken in the year 1853.

The call says: “The Lord Jesus Christ will not be su- preme in the churches while they fellowship a system hostile to Him, nor will the nation con- fess Him while Its affairs are controlled by the. lodge power.” — The excitement over confederate bonds has been turned to good account by the Methodist church in Virginia. Ata recent session of the Virginia annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal church south, at Charlottesville, the other day, a resolution was adopted, “That this conference approves of the action’of Brother John Morton. of the city of Richmond, (repre- senting Brother John B. Morton, deceased, treasurer of the late Book and Tract Society of the Virginia annual conference,) in disposing of $21,400 in confederate bonds, the property of said society, and tender to him our thanks for the service rendered our couference ja this trans- action.” Provision was then made for the in- vestinent of the proceeds, $149.80. — The pastor of one of our city churches made the following point last Sunday in connection with the vexed question of inspiration. Inspeak- ing of Guiteau’s claim to inspiration he said: “It is the fashion of modern In who claim inspiration. t y mur- der. This accountable erratic now on trial in this city had the impudence and ignorance to twice quote this incident during the past week. The Pocasset murder, two years ago, was justi- fied on the same ground. But these modern in- Spirationists all forget that in the Bible narra- tive Abraham did not slay Isaac. It is the differ- ence between ancient and modern inspiration. The one was merciful; the other is cruel. The one was divine; the other is devilish. When a modern crank, claiming inspiration, asks us: ‘Why should not a man he inspired'now to slay his child as Abraham was inspired to slay Isaac?" we need only ask—‘Did Abraham slay Isaac? It is the divinest part of the Old Testament ac- count which says: “Lay not thine hand thow anything unto lin?” “Be 19d, neither do Why do not some of these cranks who, in modern times, pretend to get revelations from heaven commanding them to slay their fellows as Abraham slew Isaac, reach the same conclu- sion as in that case, and offer a ram instead of the innocent victim? — Rev. Robert B. Hull, of the Baptist Calvary church, New York city, preached against dancing last Sunday, quoting from the late Dr. Gardiner Spring, the Presbyterian divine, who once said: ‘Dancing has been a source of greater trouble to me in my chureh than all other causes of disquietude combined.” To the claim that there is no harm in square dances, he answered that “the prime dificulty with the square dance is that people do not seem to refrain from cut- ting off the corners. An eminent authority has said, ‘The square dance cannot be kept square; it is said to be rounded off with the waltz.’” The reply to the argument that the Bible declares that there is a time to dance he said was: ‘First, the dancing spoken of in Scripture is totally different from the dance of modern society. The dancing spoken of in the Scriptures was, first, & religious act; second, it was practiced only Upon joyful occasions; third, it was performed by maidens only; fourth, it was usually practiced 4a the day time and in the open air; h, men who perverted dancing from a sacred use to —— of amusement were deemed infamous; sixth, no instances of are found in the Bible in which the two sexes united in the exer- Kail bade ie is no instance on record of lancing for amusem except that of irrell; famil deseribed” by 3b and of He " daughter, which terminated In the rash vow of Herod and murder of John the Baptist.” eee A number of gentlemen of ses peers Pata ‘The assertion ts madethat at Harvard Untver- persons with suicides, and left | Musical Fishes. From All the Year Round. Of “screaming” fishes we have a curions no- tice in “‘ Notes and Queries” (Second Series, vol. 2, p. 109). The writer states:—‘In the early part of December I called upon a Quaker gen- tleman at Darlington, for whom I waited in a room in which stood a small aquarium, contain- ing, along with the usual allotment of sea- anemones, star-fishes, etc., five fishes not larger than minnows—a species of blennies, as I was informed. After watching their motions for a few minutes, as they floated near the surface of the water, § stooped down to examine them more nearly, when, tomy utter amazement, they simultaneously set up a shriek of terror, so loud and piercing that I sprung back as if electrified, ¢ think a human being could hardly have set up a louder or shriller seream than did these tiny ;Ohabitants of the water.” Sir James Emerson Tennant; in his account of Ceylon, relates: moon had risen, I took a boat and accompa- nied the fishermen to a spot where musical sounds were said to be heard issuing from the bottom ofa lake, and which the n: sup- posed to proceed from some fish peculiar to the locality. I distinctly heard the sounds in ques- tion. ‘They came up from the water jike the gentle thrills of a musical chord, orthe faint vibra- tions of a winezlass when its rim is rubbed by a wet finger.

When the party had come to a fiv operation, a net was carefully drawn across the stream, while the violinist, putting the iustru- ment to his chin, struck ‘up a lively waltz.

I beg to state that the reason why the needle points in the northerly direction is that the earth in itself is a magnet, attracting the mag- netic needle as the ordinary magnets do; and the earth isa magnet as the result of certain cosmical facts, much affected by the action of thesun. These laws have periodicities, all of which have not as yet been determined. The inherent and ultimate reason of any fact in na- ture, as gravity, light, heat, etc., is not known further than that it isin harmony with all facts in nature. Even an earthquake is in perfect harmony with, and the direct resu tant of, the action of forces acting under general laws. A c nsed explanation in regard to the needle pointing te the northward and southward, is as follows: The magnetic poles of the earth do not coincide with the geographical poles. The axis of rotation makes an angle of about 23 degrees with a line jonni the former. The northern macnetic pole is at present near the arctic circle on the meridian of Omaha. Hence the needle dues not everyw! point to the astronomical north, and is constantly variable within certain limits. At San Francisco it points about 17 dexrees to the east of north, and at Calais, Me.,as mueh to the west. At the northern inagnetic pole, a batanced needle points with its north end downward in a plumb line. - At San Francisco it dips about 68 degrees, and at the southern magnetic pole the south end points directly down. The action of the earth upon a inagnetic needle at its surface is of about the same force asthat of a hard steel magnet, 40 inches long. strongly magnetized. at a distance of one foot. The foregoing is the accepted expla- nation of the fact that the needle puints to the northward and southward. Of course, no ulti- mate reason can be given for this natural fact, any more than for any other observed fact in nature.—Prof. Patterson, of Ue United States Coast Survey. = sos. 2 Cranks.

That it does not, the casual observer of affairs is led to be- lieve by the consideration of the many cases. such as the one for which Welles was arrested which have occurred in this city within the past few months. I mean instances which are Known to every one, and which, at the time, attracted widespread notoriety. It has been only a short time since Rev. Dr. Dix was persecuted by a blackmailer. This man was arrested. con- victed and sentenced. and died shortly after en- tering Sing Sing prison. Within the current year the blackmailer Sagert was shot dead in Lexingtonavenue. This fellow was after $60,000, | you remember, threatening if the money was not quietly handed him to steal the child of the father from whom he demanded the money.” “The punishment,” the inspector continued. “which followed both these crimes was swift. If the punishment did not prevent the recur- rence of the crime, it stayed it for a time.” “A gentleman who is connected with a very | larze corporation,” the inspector said, “eame | tome one day with a big bundle of lette: “These letters I have received, threatening { with exposure of improper conduct with some ] of the young women in my employ,’ he said.

It had only been necessary place the page of writing, note size, letter size or even foolscap, in the letter-book, and use a leaf of the letter-book just as one would use a leaf of blotting-paper. The superttuons ink that would go into. blotting paper went on to the leaf of the letter-book, and showin through the thin paper as usual, gave, on the other side of the leaf, a perfect transcript of the nk on the page, either of 01 ving paper, was removed by sheet of blotting paper between them ing one’s hand firmly over the whole in manner.

Reduce, by evaporation, ten volumes of ink to six then add four volumes of glycerine. Or manufacture some ink of nearly double strength and add to any quantity of it nearly an equal volume of glycerine. There is nothingnew in the method here de- scribed. A similar preparation has been used in the Tribune office for at least twelve years. At first a specially prepared ink was bought, but it was soon discovered that glycerine answered all purposes. Common ink is used. It is not evaporated down as Professor Atttieid recom- mends, but a little gam arabic is found useful in preventing the ink spreading on the thin tissue paper. = = eas The Canadian Habitant. E.

He grows his own tobacco, makes his own “beef” moc- wife spins the wool out of which is made Zetouge lu pays, a kind of frieze, in which he clothes imself. His house is a picture of neatness. The outside is whitewashed at least twice a year; the as a new pin. scrubbed and sanded everyday. The walls are hung with pictures, somewhat sandy as to color, of the pope, St. Cecilia, St. Joseph and St. Anne, and photographs of the parish priest and of the Vlogs blaze in winter time, hangs the family fusil, the old flint-lock a sire carried under Montcalm. and now used to kill an occasional bear, and to fire a feu de joie on St. Jean Bap- medals brought from Rome by the priest or the bishop, and the rosary that has come down asanheir-loom in the family. The house is decorated with sampler work of saints and angels, for which the women are famed. A ments near achurch the house is always sup- plied with holy water. The patriarch of the smoke from his long pipé up the bellowing chimney,and sporting the fogue,an old-fashioned fathers before him wore under the ancien ico, skirt of homespun blue, and neat Norman cap. is at the spinning-wheel; the eldest daughter, soon to marry the honest husband- man in the next clearing, is weaving her linen pea-soup, the staple dish, is made is gurgling on the fire; a smaller pot contains the pork; and in the Gulf parishes the tiaude, composed of alter- nate layers of pork and codfish, is still the piece de resistance. 'The bedrooms are furnished with old-fashioned pateh-work quilts of inning and patient work- fizure of the great Napoleon, meditating with folded arms on the cliffs of St. Helena; a bough of palm blessed at Easter tide; holy water, a specific against lightning; andthe snow- shoes on which the habitant visits hislittle king- dom of 80 or 100 arpents in the long winter sea- son. The housewife bottles an infinite variety of blackberries, huckleberries and other wild fruits whieh the bush and the swamps yield in abund- ance; and in thespring the maples furnish a sweet harvest of sugar. When the defricheur comesin from the woods on a cold evening, he fortifies himself with a draught of the mordant whisky; the blessing of Ged is asked on the more sul stantial repast and he falls to, a valiant trench- erman, with an appetite as keen as his ax.
