EP'aLY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 18C8. f 1IAIU DK KOS AT HOME. I a villi Pcieilt)i y H" ChrlKtla A- detssa. The Cincinnati Commercial translates the follow iDg account of a visit to Charles Dickena tor Hans Christian Andersen: ' 'Dii kpn lmd written to tne in a letter which I received in Pauiuark, 'I hav lust fiuihed rn.v new work, and am now a f man. We shall, therefore, be together th(J tinje, and can play cricket on the law (1 , ,at our intercourse was bouww Mt Uli rupted, for on the day pr,vUnu to niy arrival, the humorist aud plTwriht, Puu- ln Jerroia, uaa aieo, a.t he tud fail to ta lieart-luoeu wife, 'bioken will take cr of you when I '.n deal.' And, in f.ict, li.:keiH did take care of the widow. 1U collect i several thoncand poiupu for her, and ltivmti this capital so that the interest sutlioed for her wants. Dickens founded a committee of men, beariafl names no If ns illustrious than his own, such as Uulwer, Thackeray, and Ma irealy, aud a programme was drawn up for miking inoaey in dill'erent ways, and for noble pur poes. Jt is well known that Diokwusj pos geAPes wonderful talents as au actor; he has rftabli.-hed a small amatenr stae at his rotise, where he Riveg dramatic representa tions, in conjunction with soini of tlw Hjemliers of Lis family and Reveral intimate f.'ieiida. Now, some performances were to lu piven at high rates of admissioii; besides, Pickens and Thackeray engaged to deliver pome lectures, for which Diokeus, on his p irt, selected one of his Christmas stories. Tiiny and labor wrre required to carry all this iuto ell'ect. There were days wheu 1 saw him write and forward twenty letters, all of which he did with an eagerness and joy as if it wer-4 child's play. The ouly thitijr tht grieved me in this respect was that it phorteue I and limited our intercourse; for, owiii ti th-se joT.iirs. he had to go repeatedly to Lou-Ion aul itay there for whole days. '"'When I ftnivdd at (iadshill the family had not yet been two weeks at their new ootiutry Beat; both the environs and all drives were new to them. Meanwhile 1 myself noon found ont the most attractive points, aud to one of them, the summit of U.idshill, I conducted Dickens and his family. Our way led across tbe broad high-road on which, opposite to Dickens' villa, there lies atavrn, ou the faded sigu of which Falstttll aud Prince Henry, and ou the reverse a scent? from the Marry Wicc.it of 'intl.-r ure represented. From tne tavern a ravine b-tweeu live hedges led up to a group of pleasut houses, ad two-stonel, aud their walls beautiiully clad with viues and creepers; long, ne-it white curtaius hung iu the windows; the h'gheat home was watched by au old bliu 1 do,; cows aud sheep w re grazing ou the meadows, and ou this hig'ue.it point there rose au obelisk. The whole monument was cracked, aud the lirst gust of wind might upset it. The inscription was no longer distinctly legible, but we saw that the uiouuineut hai beeu erected iu hou ir of an excellent country gentleman who had died many, mauy years aro. Ioairnvich as I was the first to lead Di keus to this poiat, he afterwards called the place, jociilaily, 'liana Cb.rit3ti.in Auderseu's mouiitipiut.' ''AV'iihoat auy pievious practice in speaking English, and bearing it spoken, I understood Iroui the very first all that Dick ens said to me. Whenever I hesitated, he re peated the idea in another form; and no one caught my meaning quicker than he did. Danish aud Kugli.ih are so wonderfully similar that we often were astonished at it, and when, at times, lwas at a loss to lind tbe right word, Pickens begged me to name the Danish word, and we otien found that it was precisely the the name as in English. "When I pcquued greater faruilii'.rity with the language, 1 longed more (in I more to con verse on topics other thau those of every-day Occurrence; I longed to express my feelings, and find iu the foreign language words as natural to me as tliOse of my mother tongue. I felt more and more at home; even the sm tiler children of the house begau to understaud me; nay, the smallest of them, who, wheu I asked him, on th first day, if he liked iu-, said, very In.nestly, lI Will put you out of the window,' assured me now, with a einiling facs, tliat, he would 'put me in again.' Dickens ha I no lens thau nine childreu, tvvo growu daughters, Mary aud Kate, aud seven sons: Charles, Walter Lan lor, Francis G-oltrey, AKred Tennyson, Sidney Sn ith, Henry Fielding, aud El ward Lyttou liulwer. Tlie two eldest aud the two youngest were at home; the oilier three came ou a visit from 11 mlogne, in France, where they were at a boarding i-chool. It was vacation time, aud I soon saw them climb in the branches of the large cedar trees, or play at cricket with tteir other brothers and their father, all of tbun iu fahirt-sleeves, ou the largo meadow close to the garden; the ladies eat iu the tall grass under the trees, peasant children peepd over th.e hedge, and Turk, the watch dog, who was fastened all night, had now beeu delivere I from his chain and led the life of a free do, While his long chain aud his keuuel were left to a big, old raveu, who no doubt considered himself a relative to the raven in 'lSaruaby ltadge,' which, though stutled, still existed, and was to be seen in the house. "When in London, Charles Dickens lives in Tavistock House. A grated gate separates the yard aud garden from the lively street. In the xear of the house extends a large garden, with Beveral lawrjs and tall trees, aud imp trts a rural appearance to the whole in the mi 1st of tmioky and dusty Loudon. In the passage leading from the street to the garden there hung paiutiugs and copper-plates; here stood Dicken' marble bust, lifrlike, young, aud handsome, and the doors of the bed-chambers and dining-room were surmounted by Tuor-Tvaldi-en's has reliefs of Night aud Diy. On the first lloor was a large library, with a lire place and writing table, aui in the larg-i room opeuing upon the garden, Dickens aud his family and friends amusrd themselves iu the winter by performing plays. The kitchen is in the basement, aud tha bed-roums are ou the upier lloor. 'When I came to London, I was quartered in a pleasant room opening upon the garden, whence I saw, above the trees, the tower of Loudou loom up or disappear, according to the clearness of the weather. It was a long way from here to the centre of business-life; in one of the latter streets, opposite to the Lyceum Theatre, is Dickens' literary olli :e, where he attends to his duties as editor of the most popular weekly published in Engl tud. "l!ut lot us return to the country. The old peasant whose cowh und sheep were gr.in near the monument ou Oadshdl knew tfiat I lived at Dickens' house, and that he brought us every day lresh bread. 'They are excel lent folks,' he said. 'You See that as sum as you catch sight of the man aud his wife.' They had spoken to him so kindly that tuy had won his heart completwly. iyHH jitt added, 'a few years since there lived quite close to them a lady whom they callei the Bwedlsh Nightingale.' It was Jenny Diul who lad lived here. 'She was as kiul aud hearty as Mr. Dickens.' "1 repaired to the place where he Baid Jenny Lind had lived; the windows were painted, the door wb locVed.no one lived here, the cage was empty, the night!ngale Lad ilowu. Many thoughts aud reminiscences Btole npou me; 1 never since passed that place without a feeling of profound, sadness."

They had doited crat interest, and the attendance at ShoeburyDess was very large. The structures to be fired at were erected about 100 yards within the low embankment protecting the ground from the Thames, the front of the works facing iulaud. The Plymouth Urget and the other casemates were in the centre, Hanked on either hand by the experimental walls and plates. The appearance of the larger structures was massive aud imposing, but their effect was somewhat marred by the large black surfaces of iron wall being divided ott iuto squares by white painted lines. The details of construc tion were to a considerable extent hidden by the close fitting ot the external parts; but ample information was supplied on this point by the exhibition of lithographed plans au I sections ol the Btruotures, showing all their parts in full detail, lied and blue lines were ah o painted on the targets to iudicate the places of the joints and other important fea tures in tbe construction, and priutol descrip tions, piepart-d lor the purpose, were circu lated among the vi.- itors. Diagrams were also exhibited, showing the various data of the artillery, aud a notice of the gun, charge, aui projectile was posted up before each r uind. The chief object was the Plymouth shield, and the only gun used, with the excepiiou of two rounds from the American Itodman, waj the largest lilted gun, viz., the twenty-three ton gun, of twelve inches bore, carryiug a Palliser pointed shot of (iUO prmuds. The charges Were originally iuteuded to be such as would represent the effects at distances of .KM and KM'O yaids; but, as it was considered de sirable to test the strength of the shield with the full power of the guus, the lettering charge of seventy-six puuuds of powder was used every rouud. There were in all eight rounds fired against the shield, live of which were iirtoted against the jart to the right of the porthole, strength ened by an extra live-inch plate iu frout, giving in this place twenty inches thickness of iron. The other tlirm were lired at the thin ner or filteeu iiu h side of the shield. The lirst shot hit the live-inch strengthening plnie about tlnee feet trom the ground au t liiteen inches from the right baud edge, tear ing open the narrov strip outside the shot. One bolt was driven fewral inched inwards, and the inside plates and the Vertical st in lard btLind them were slightly bulged. The CUot penetrated almut a toot aud broke up. The second round was a shell of t'io same weight from the miiw gun, with a bursting charge of 14 Alb. Tnis sti uck about six inches above the port, aud exactly on the lett edge of the strengthening plate, so that hall the pro jectile acted on this plate aud th- o'her part on the thinuer part adjoining. Iu front no damage was seen, but at the back it was foun i that the horizontal iron "plauk" over tin porthole was broken in t vo ou the right hau l side of the port and partly thrust backwards. The bolls near the part struck were strained, bnt not bii ken. The shell did not bury itself deep enough in the iron to do more mischief than a shot, as the buropng charge exploded in tiie n ar. The third round wa-1 ft shot from the great American 'Hodman" gnu, wbb a l.'i-iuch bore, and a cat-irou round shot of 4.")U pounds Weight. The usual charge in America tor this (.unis 00 pounds, but, ai it is said to be some times used wiih Km pounds, it was d-itm--ndned to try it wiih its full power, and for that purpose it Was loa lel with S.f.J pouui-jof our powder, which tiom its great strength is found (-quivaleut to .1 IK pounds American. The shot struck the strengthening-plate about 15 inches Horn the bottom, and a little to the light of the middle, not tar trom the shot of the first roui d. It cracked the front plate, staitrd another halt, aud bent the inside layer of iron, doing altogether, but little damjge. The shot rebounded, au I fell, much llatteu-id, a tew feet in trout of the target, it was of American make, aud appeared to be of excel lent iron. As the la-t shot was said to have grazed t'.io prouud before arriving at the target, aul tbereby to have loot some of its force, a se.) )iid shot was filed Horn tue same gnu, also at th-j Stiengilieuing-plate, wbii-h it struck live toet high and one toot six inches from the left-ha .d edge. It made an indent of eight or nine inches, cracking the plate through to the edgw, and knocking oil by the shock trom the right baud corner a piece of plate alrea ly broken by former mumls. The inner planks ue ir the port hole were distorted, aud au upright standard slightly bent. The shot struck ou a Fpot where the plates were supported by oue of these standards, aud which was, therefore, a strong place; but the ell'ect of both time rounds appeared so small lor the large charge of powder as to give but au inditforunt opinion of the power of this boas'ed American weapou compared with our owu rillsd guns. Korthelifih rouud the 12-inoh rifled gua was resumed, and another shot was lired also at the thickening plate. It struck about six feet h'gh, and near the middle of the plate. It penetrated thirteen inches aud broke a b.ilt, doing also considerable damage behind. It pushed out the middle layer ot iron, aud liroka one of the hoiizontal planks of the internal layer, a piece of which, weighing between two hundred pounds and thiee hundred pounds was violently projected about oue hundred h-et to the i ear of the target. The three remaining rounds were aimed at the thinuer part of the target, reprwseuii-ig what is ac'nally iu construction fr the forts, and fifteen indies thick. It was iuteuded that at least oue ot thee should hit a part between the upright standard, where the plates were unbacknl; but this was not accomplished, eaih shot striking a place immediately in front of the upright standards The sixtk round was a solid shot, which penetrated about ten inches, broke two bolts, and cause I a bulge in both the back plates aud the stand ards. The seventh round was a shell, which, hko all the others, burst ouLude, and did little further m:schief; and the eighth round was a solid shot, that caused a large bnl,!0 in tins rear, projecting several inches, aud opening wiih a wide, Mar-shaped crack, the stanlird also being cou.-ider.ibly bent, though not broktu. This ended the diy'a practice. Tins Ply mouth taiget had lecoiveil tile lire of eig'it rounds, from the largest guns with the lull baiteiiiig charges, and although it was a go.) I deal pm l-hed in some parts, it had stood ou the w hol-s very well. It, was not penetrt'e l by any of the shot, nor had it eeasod to all rd piotectiou. The worst feature of the day was the piojection to the rear of the large mass of iron in the tilth round, which would of course have been a serious thing iu actual warfare. The Moon and the Wrath gr. If any maiked connection existed between the state of the air aud the a-p t of the moon, it io3t inevitably have forced itself unsought npon the attention of meteorologists. In the weekly return of births, deaths, aud marriages, issued by the Uegistrar-tieneral, a table is given, showing all the meteorological elements for e.'ery day of the year, and a column is set apait for noting the chances and positions of the woou. These reports extend backward nearly a quarter of a century. Here, then, is a repertory ot data that ought to reveal at a glance any such connection, and would cer tainly have done bo had it existed. But no constant relation between the moon eolu tuns and those containing the instrument readings has ever been traced. Our meteorological ob servatories furnish continuous and unbroken recorda of atmospherio variations, exteuding over long series of year?; these afford still more abundant means for testing the validity of the lunar hypothesis. The collation has frequently been made for epcial points in the inquiry, aud certainly some connection has been found to obtain between curtain positious of the moon in her orbit and certain instru mental averages; but so small are the ellects traceable to lunar iullueuce that they are almost inuapreciable among the grosser irregu larities that arise from other and as yet unex plained causes. Om r-a- Week. Mock liaising in Knnsas. From the A (chiton (Kansas) Cliamiion, Kansas is the best stock-raising State in the Union. Her broad aud fertile prairies offer inducements and advantages to stock-raisera that no other country can afford. There is no better, surer, ner more rapid method of mak ing uoney than stock-raiting. And nothing will so much add to the material prosperity of the hta'e as this business, systematically and thoroughly followed. We can supply the Hast with, hundreds of thousands of cattle every year; we ought to supply the West with all the pork they ueed, inste ad ol allowing them to depend npon the Sates Fast of the Missouri. We are begin ning to do the former we have, as yet, done very little towards the latter. And this is tbe interest to which, more particularly, wo desire to call the attention of farmers, of mer chants, of capitalists, and of the people gene rally. We are every year shippiug immense droves of Logs to St. Louis, Chicago, and other points East. There they are slaughtered and packed, and in the spring this same meat is reshipped to Kansas, and from this State to all prints West of us. There is no reason why Buch a system should continue longer. Every iuterest of the country protests against it. If men in Chicago aud St. Louis can buy hogs in Kansas, transport them by railroad or steam boat to these places, kill and pack them, re ship them to us iu the spring, aud make for tunes out of the business, is it not strange that those here w ho have money b) not turn their attention to so Initiative a business; a business which, by saving the cost of trans portation for from twelve to lif-eon hundred miles, must prove even more lucia' ive to our own people than to those so far awty. The c;ipilal to engage in such a bu-ineg3 can bo readily obtained by any enterprising, en ergetic business man. Ou the Fecurity such a business allords, our banks, we are as.-mred, would willingly advance the means. They know that the business is a legitimate oue, bicb, with all the advantages the country affords tor its proseuutiou, cannot but prove prolitablo. Aud we hope to see a number of our merchants, capitalisi8,or speculators take bold of this matter during the present season, and make a beginning of what will some day be one of the greatest business interest's iu the country. Tins Lpidcmic Anion: (lie Kila-V3i:ii5. A btter from Italy to au Koglish pip-sr days: ''Yon ai i aware that ot late jeats there has been a very large importation of silk-worms' eggs from Japan to Italy, with a view to re pairing this ravages of disease among the woiuis in tin's country. To a considerable ex tent the plan has proved successful, although the descendants 01 the Japanese by no meaus invariably escape H least, in the second au t third gtneratii n the luysteiious alllictiou which has long played such havoc with one of the most important and lucrative oi Italian productions. Lattelly complaints have been heard even of the eggs L-uported direct from Japan. To all appearances they were of good quality, but it seemed they were nat prool against the prevailing epidemic. A cir cular that has just beeu addressed to the Pre sidents of Agricultural Commit'ees by the Minister of Agriculture anil Commerce ac counts otherwise for the deterioration. A sys tem of fraud has been detected. The Minister dcclaies it to have come to ids knowledge tint a great number ot cases containing empty papers of the kind in w hich lire Japanese egs are usually sent have btoii rtctived by a Milan house. "These papers are duly stamped and iu scrited in Japanese; they bear the Custom H nse maik usually put on them at Yed.io on their way to the Yokohama market. The Minister declares it beyoud a doubt that these papers were intended to receive Italian eggs, w hich would be sold to the public as genuine Japanese thus discrediting the only eggs on which is now based a hope of reviving sericul ture in Ibis country. The discovery appears to have been due to the refusal of certain Ja panese houses to submit their papers of eggs to the inspection and stamp of the Italian agents and consuls in Japan. The Minister promises great vigilance to defeat these frauds, for, he adds, he has reason to be lieve that other persons are on the alert, to follow the example of the Milan house above alluded to. According to an official publica tion, iu lf-03 the total value of the cocoons produced in the proviuces which now com pose the kingdom of Italy was upwards of four millions sterling. To obtain this there have been imported fifty-six thousand one hundred and twenty-nine kilogrammes of eggs, at a coi-t of twenty four millions of francs, or nearly a million sterling." The Klavc Trade in Umzil. A passage in Maximilian's "Uecolleotious of Breail" has given rise to a somewhat spirited controveisj in the columns of the I'uli Mail (t'uzelle, to which a member of the .Brazilian legatiou aud a former diplomatic representa tive of the English Government in ltrazil are tbe patties. The discussion arose out of the following passage from Maximilian's book: "It is true that many inllueucei 'por el horordella lb-ma' will hold a little iuquiry on the subject of smuggled slaves, but it leads to , no results. The slave-owners compel the ! suspected individuals (who naturally do not ! yet speak l'oituguese intell gihly, either for good or tvil) to answer every question of the judge by the word 'Miuas.' 'What is your ' name?' Auswer '.Min.is,' which is a very common name among slsves. 'Where were ! you born 1" Answrr 'Miuas,' oue of tha chief provinces of lirazil, but also ao import- art negro tribe of Africa, which provides the ! Jiiaztiians witn tne best slaves. 'Where no yon work f' Answer 'Miuas.' Minasarethe diamond aud gold miues from which is derived a principal source of wealth of the couutry. The judge, who is naturally also a slave owner, notes the three 'Miuas,' shutd the pro tocol, and the all air is settled to the satisl'c tiou of all parties." To this the Drazilian diplomat replies that the occurrence alluded to must have happened, if at all, in 1MI or lbtJO; that Mr. Christie, tbe English diplomatic representative at Difizil during that time, made no report of any such occurrences, but reported an entire cessation of the trade. Mr. Christie retorts that the context of his report does not sustain this alligation, and that the allusion wade by Maximilian probably referred ta, events. nap. inning before his (Mr. Christie's) official resi dence in lirazil. The Brazilian CUarge d' Af faires makes farther criticisms on Maximil ian's statements, which are not very material. The only important feature of the corres pondence is the fact disclosed that the Brazil ian government is anxious to clear itself from any complicity with slave smuggling. This is a cheering indication, at all events. The (Uncial Period. In a paper addressed to the Frenoh Aca demy of Sciences, M. Villeneuve Flayose en deavors to prove the following proposition: "In the case of high chains of mountains, the snow-line aud glaciers generally descend low est where the moisture is greatest, aud where consequently the warmth also is more con siderable than at a higher elevation, sinco the aqueous vapors there emit a larger proportion of their latent caloric." This fact, already verified in the Alps by M. Studer, is, our author informs us, BtrtDgly characterized in the Himalaya, where the snows on the side of the equator descend twelve hundred yards lower than on the opposite declivity. Under our very eyes we may say, the glaciers of the Alps follow the same rule; they extend duriug rainy years and contract during the dry ones, in which the mean temperature is often low est. The quartemary period was generally more humid than the present oue, the recent upheavals 'having caused many surfaces to emerge, which lormerly were covered with water, and consequently concurred iu the for mation of aqueous vapor. Hence the Alps, surrounded by the vast lakes which at that time covered tie surface of the basins of the Durance, the llhoue,- the Saone, the Loire, ELine, and others, received fifteen times more steam than before, which accounts for the enormous glaciers of the autediiuvian pe riod, notwithstanding the higher average of temperature then existing. An intense cold iu the immediate vicinity of the glaciers was in abrupt contact with a warm temperature at tbe surface of the waters. This rendered it possible for the laurel of the Canary Isles to grow in the region inhabited by the reindeer, and for the Icjihas primi (cuius to be in clese fraternity with the tlcjihas mcritwnalis. In Kew Zealand, one of the glaciers of the Cook range is not more than 152 yards from the level of the gea, and yet actually bordored with line aiboresceut ferns. p R I ti C 1 P A L D ES P GT roa tub ealb of mine mu2 sumxt snixi Jvo.
