"IIAUI'EU'S."
From the article on "The Atironi BorcaVw," lijr
Profi'RRor Looinls, wc tnke the following: '
"The Polnr Liht Is a llp-ht whii h In frequently
ween near the horizon, bearing aortic resemblance
to.thc morning twilight, whence it hiw received
lh name of aurora. In the northern hemixphere
it. is tianully termed 'aurora, borcali,' because it
ia chiefly eeen in the north. A similar pheno
menon is also eeen in tlie southern licmlHliere,
where it is called 'Aurora Austral!.' Each of
tlit-m iuav, with greater, propriety, ha railed
'Aurora Polarw,' or Polar Litflit. They rxhil.it
n cndlCHH variety of appearances In tun United
Ktiite.8 an aurora Is uniformly preceded hya hazy
or Maty appearance of the xky, particularly in
the- neiirliborlicHKl of the northern horizon.
When the auroral display commences, this ha.y
portion of the nky uhhuiiics the form ot a dark
Ivink or HCKincnfof a circle in the north, rising
ordinarily to the height (if from five to ten'
4circeK. This dark moment i not a cloud, for
tlie stars are Been through it as through a m)ky
atmosphere, with little diminution of brilliancy.
This dark lank is nimply a dense haze, and it
appear darker from the luminous arc which
rents upon it. In hijrh northern latitude, when
Hie aurora covers the entire heavens, the whole
nky eeems filled with a dense haze; and in Ktill
lii-her latitudes, where the aurora is foniviim
Hcenin the sntilli. till d irk segment is oliserved
renting on the southern horizon ami bordered by
the auroral lijrht.
"AuroraH aro Kometinien observed (simulta
neously over larp1 portions of the globe. The
aurora ol August 2S, H"!t, was seen throughout
more Hum 140 decrees of longitude, from East
ern Europe to California, and from Jamaica oil
the Houtli to an unknown distance in British
America on the north. The auror.i of Septem
ber 13, 1KT.!, win seen'at the Sandwich Islands; it
waH seen throughout the whole of North America
mid Europe; and the dhturliance of the mag
netic needle indicated its presence throughout
al! Northern Asia, although the sky was ovcr-
ast, -o that at many placet) it could not tie seea.
An ui'.rora was seen' at the same time in (South
America and New Holland. Tlie auroras of Sep
tember 2.1, 1WL and November 17. l&Vi, wore
almost equally extensive.
"The height of a largi: number of auroras h;i
bee n computed, and the average result lor the
tipper limit of the streamers is 4ri0 miles. From
a multitude of observations it is concluded that
the aurora seldom appears at ;in elevation less
than about 4.r miles above the earth's surlaec,
ma! that it frequently extends upward to an el
vution of 500 miles. Auroral arches having a
well-defined border arc generally less than 10.1
miles in height.
"Auroras are very unequally distributed over
the earth' surface. They.,ccur.most frequently
in the higher latitudes, and are almost unknown
within the tropics. At Havana, in latitude 2'i
degrees, but six auroras have been recorded
within a hundred years, and south of Havana
auroras are still more (infrequent. As we travel
northward Jroin Cuba, auroras increase in fre
quency and brilliancy; they rise higher in the
Leavens, and ottener as end t the zenith. Near
Hie parallel of 40 degrees we find on an average
oi.ly ten auroras annually. Near the parallel of
42 degrees .tlie average number i-.t wenty an
i.u.dly; near 4! degrees the number is forty, and
ncjir the parallel of fit degrees it amounts to
eighty annually. Between this point and the
parallel of 02 degree-.auroras. during the winter,
are seen almost every night. They appear high
in the Leaven, and as often to tlie south as the
north. In regions further north they are seldom
M'.eu except in the south, and lroin this point
they diminish in frequency and brilliancy as we
advance towards the pole. Beyond latitude t',2
degrees the average number of auroras is reduced
to forty annually. Beyond latitude tii degrees
it is reduced to twenty; and near latitude 73 de
grees it is reduced to ten'annuallv.
"Auroral exhibitions take place in the upper
regions of the atmosphere;, since they partake of
ibe earth's rotation. 'Air the celestial bodies
have an apparent motion from east to west,
arising from the rotat ion of the earth; but bodies
belonging to the earth, including the atmosphere
and tlie cloud which float in it.' partake ot the
earth's rotation, .so that their relative position is
not affected hy it. The .same is true of auroral
exhibitions. Whenever an auroral corona is
formed, it maintains sen-iMy hie same position
in tlie heavens during the "whole period of its
ontiimaiiec, although the stars ' meanw hile re
volve at the rate til fifteen degrees per hour.
"The grosser part of the earth's atmosphere is
limited to a moderate distance from the earth.
At the height of a little over four miles.. the
density ot tin-air is only onc-h.ilt what, it ! at
!he (.irth's surface. At die heigh: of tif.y miles
the atmosphere is well-nigh inappreciable in its
effect upon twilight. The phenomena of lunar
echpses indicate an appreciable atmosphere at
tiic height, of, b miles. The pUeuotncnn t
hhooting Ftars indicate an atmosphere at the
height of 200 or o K) mile-, while the aurora i n
dk ati that the atmosphere docs not entire! v
case at the height of U) miles. Auroral exlii
L.tious take place, thereiore. in an armo.-phere
ot extreme rarity: so r. ire indeed that if. in ex
periments with an air-pump, we could cva.uist
the air as completely, we should say that we had
outained a perfect vacuum.
"The aurora! beams are simply spaces which
are i;!.:mined by the How of electricity through
the upper regions of tlie atmosphere. During
the auroras of 1 iv0ll hese beams were nearly
miles in length, and their lower extremities were,
elevated about 45 miles above the earth's surface.
Their tops inclined towards the south, about 17
degrees in the neighborhood of New York, tVn
being the positiou which the dipping-needle
tut re assumes."
From Mr. W. (). Stoddart's paper on "Pawn
trokers and Loan Oilicea'' we make these
extracts:
"During the summer months tlie business of
the pawnbrokers, though good, is not by any
n.cans pressing. The laboring classes are "then,
for the most part, well and profitably employed,
and if it were not for rum, idleness, and real
misfortune such as sickness- there would be
comparatively little for 'my uncle' to do. As
winter comes on, however, one sourceof employ
ment after another is ehtsed, expenses increase,
while, curiously enough, miscellaneous crowds
tvith slender resources Hock from the country.
In this city the stream of peopUiiJrom over-sea
lurnishes a never-failing supply (if business to
the pawnbroker, and these people seem to hold
oil wouderlullv until the auwoach of eold
weather. Then, however, his shelves begin to
fill uii. All the early summer they grew
thinner, an one pledge after another was redeemed
by those who once more found a remunerative
demand for their time and labor: but now even
the rapidly accruing 'forfeit.' do not make
room enough for the fresh offerings. Bits of
jewelry; furniture; clothing of all kinds; relics of
better days; odd mementoes of far away lauds
beyond the sea; articles of domestic use bcymid
mention or unmentionable all is fish that
comes to his net, if only it have, a market value,
or, in his opinion, a reasonable prospect of ulti
mate redemption. Hardly an article Is offered
upon which the pawnbroker is not begged to
advance 'more,' but his trade hardens him, and
he invariably decides in accordance with what
fie considers his own interests. These, be It un
derstood, prompt him to loan as much as ho
nafely can upon each item, for a forfeit is by no
meaiiB an invariable prolit. He sees before him
U day long, and all the year round, the Impro
vident, the rectiess, tuu wiiuim, mm " muni
of uuutterable misfortune. It is not his fault
that he becomes hardened, aud yet ho fills an
important and useful place in society a place
that must unci will be Jilled, and that always has
beeu filled. , . ,
"We will suppose that a gentleman from the
rural districts has been Imprudent in his ex
penses, and desire to use his watch as a collate
ral for a small loan say fifty dollars. As ho
saunters up Broadway, wondering how his desire
may be best accomplished, and, Willi more than
a little half-concealed nervousness concerning
the business in hand, Ids eye falls upon ft fill.'"
which announces that 'Hound-So, Diamond
Broker," makes advances on precious stones,
watches, etc. Evidently here Is hismau. As he
dteps into the ollice, the dapper young man be
hind the counter reads him at a glance, and his
JTrdivtttlwi lvr h tUrty-day loan is at vuee iwi-
etrtcd to, wo a matter of oonmo. The money, a
trirk) lesn perhaps than h had expwtwl, owing
to the somewhat old-fashioned character of bis
timc-pieec, is counted out to him, and he again
descends to the street, w ith his roeclpt in his
hand. ...
"Now let him examine that same paper. No
mention Is made of anv deposit or sale by hiui
nelf to the gentlemanly 'broker,' but he hold-t In
his hand an agreement from that person to sell
him thirty days from date, at a price named, a
watch whose number and description arc o:ily
too familiar, while the barest trifle of sim;dc
arithmetic enables him to see that the transac
tion nets the 'broker' fifteen per cent, per month
for the use of his money. There is no use what
ever in storming. Even the lawyers and the po
lice ran not help him. Ifc ha olrt hi tnatrh,
and though he ran buy It back again at any time
within the thirty days', he can not hope to 'obtain
it for one dollar less than the price spceilled in
his written contract. If his necessities continue,
and the contract expire, he has no help what
ever in the law against illegal pawnbroking, and
his watch is gone. But he may have been an old
customer of that same broker. He may have
brought in many watches, of,various patterns and
values. Some of them he may have redeemed,
and others not. His very personal presentation
of a security imiv be a reason for its speedy dis
appearance on Ins (lepartitrc. Nothing need be
said; but on his failure to redeem, that watch
will hardly find its way ngain into the, regular
channels of trade. The eases go to tin; melting
pot, and the works make their second appear
ance long afterwards in such a guise that their
own maker would not know them. "
"With diamonds and other precious stones
there is even less ditli. ulty. The settings are of
comparatively little account, and are incited up
at once, while the gems themselves are promptly
invested with new clothing, unless any peculi
arities render a trip beyond the seas advisable
and is there not a good market in Europe? Does
not Europe find Amo-Icu equally convenient for
similar purposes? But, us the diamond brokers
and watch lancicrs cannot properly attend to all
the departments of this interesting business, a
good deal remains tor the auctioneers.' "
SECUET HISTORY OF ls((!.
Ft ll tilt .? !:'.
The fourth volume of the otlk ial account in
course, (d is-tie bv the Austrian (iovernment of
the events l JStitJ contains assertions and gives
versions of despatches hitherto unknown,
which have excited no liitlc. attention in Berlin,
aud are deservedly eal -ulated to invito general
notice. The volume itself we have not seen.
We are Indeed doubtful whether it has as vet
been actually published. Certainly no copy fias
reached this country. We write, therefore, with
only such knowledge of its contents as are fur
nished by privileged and anticipatory communi
cations made to fiennan papers evidently by
favor of the Austrian authorities. It cannot be
supposed that the extracts are not
authentic, for though their matter
ha given rise to mu -h controversy, their cor
rectness has not been hallenged. On the con
trary, the press favorable to the Austrian '(iov
ernment. after startling the public with docu
ments, has striven hard to work out a sensa
tional charge, on the authority of the text it has
given ot these otlieia! papers." .But if the accu
racy of the extracts us given in the Austrian
iournals has not been impugned, that of the ,
version given by the Austrian (iovernment of
despatches not of its composition, and which it
cannot pretend to have come by fairly, has been
distinetlv challenged by those who have the best
right to know what they themselves wrote, and
have substantiated their protest by imblieation
of the original text.
The document which is the principal subject
matter for controver-y is not an entire despatch,
but only the end of a despatch ot the date of
the 20th of July, 1S'. trom Count Bismark at
Nikolsburg. to Conn: lloltz. Prussian minister
in Paris. As given l y the Austriaiis. its text
conveys the following points: That the King
of l'ltiss'ia had consented to an armistice; that
Burral (Italian envoy uad asked for instructions
and powers from Florence, but it was doubtful
whether these would come in time: that the
King "attaches less importance to a Norlh
(iermaii Federation than 1 do, and, therefore,
above all sets store by annexation, which I con
sider' in a certain (bC'co (aUrnfn'i.) as incum
bent along with reform;" that the Ki"g had de
clared himself dctei lil'ned on abdicating sooner
than forego large additions of territory to
Prussia: that the French proposition-, "pro
vided there were rectification ol frontiers
with Austria, might be suitable for a separate
treaty with the Ta'.tc". but that they were in
siiU'k ieut for coming to terms with the other
enemies ol Prussia, especially in South (ijr
muny. Oil the strength ot this text, the charge
has been advan.-ed that alter S.iiIoa.i the King
ol Prussia hud no Vare lor (.eriiiany: thai what
alone ran in his mind wu to gr.isp a certain
amount o.' conquest hr hhiisclt as sovereign of
Prussia; that provided he could se . lire sutlieient
personal ad lantage lor hiniscll. he was ready
not merely to discard any consideration for
(ieriiiany, lint also to l.-ave It.i'y In the lurch:
ami that Count Bi-mark on this occasion was
not strong enough to control his master's narrow
and selfish disposition. Tlie immed.atc rejoinder
to this publication I. a- been the iMio in Berlin
of the true text (d this portion oi' tne despatch.
That despatch was written in a lexicon-cipher.
Such a cipher cannot be unravelled by
ingenuity, it can be read only through
initiation into tlie key. There is therefore no
possible excuse for mi-takes. Either the despatch
would remain altogether uiuleeiphcred, or th.i
key must render its contents as clear as if they
had been written in plain letter. Now, how are
we to explain on any other ground than malice
prepense the fact that tlie text as given by the
Austrian authorities is marked by suppressions
and by substitutions, every one of which has
been necessary to make the despatch bear the
unfavorable sense against the Prussian King's
Minister which the Austrian publication gives to
it ? The first suppression, right in the middle of
tlie despatch, is the following : "Your telegram,
via Vienna, just to baud. I send this one also,
via Vienna, and obirve that the French propo
sitions would sntisty ns as preliminary, provided
there be a rectification of frontiers with Austria,
for a separate peace with Au-tria. should she
be disposed to conclude one in the sene of your
telegram, No. OS, of the 17ih July." It Is. (here
fore, not true that Prussia was disposed to ac
cept the French proposals as regards a peace
with Austria on any oilier oasis tnan Had iieen
laid down in a previous Prussian despatch, thu
wording of which we do not know; but Hie refer
ence to which, made in the present one, must
have been deliberately expunged by the Austrian
publicists. Equally discreditable is it to have
left out the other passage, indicating the way
the despatch travelled though why this win
done is intelligible as it shows how the Aus
trian authorities, by a gross breach of honor,
connived to get hold of the document. Tin
next suniiression i- not less unblushing. Th'i
Austrian writers have actually dared to bring
the charge of readiness to throw over Italy o;i
the streutdh of u iet mutilated by themselves
in this sense, by their having left out the words,
"but without "the participation of Italy wo
cnimot come a conclusion." Thirdly,
the word alU-nfalls ( in a certain degree) is sub
stituted lor allertui,i.i lundoiibtedlvV thus mak
ing Bismark appear to rate annexations at a
siigni value, WUereas hp r.viin.j.lv imnn ni i m-
sclf by the word he really used against such au
assumption, though lie 1W1
to (Joins an intimation that the King was, in his
Vr .. ' 'usuuiy eager lor annexations
".7?i lIlurc ln ll"' quite unaccountable suu
shtution on any othi- ground than deliberate
alsilicat n, ol "enemies In South," instead of
'North, (.ermany, in the pass.iKe which irives
tlie reason wny tne trench i,r ,in. :,.m
not be considered uduquate for any but a special
and single-handed treaty between Prusshv aud
Austria, the reason naturally being, that after
what had happened Prussia could not tolerate
on her flanks such hostile powers
in the North us Hanover, Hesse, and
Saxony. The whole structure it has
been sought artfully to raise on the basis of this
garbled despatch is a fabric of casuistry. There
is nothing in this despatch or rather, In that
portion of th despatch which is alone made
public which, warrants the Imputations wjyeji
it has been attempted to throw out. At the time
of Its composition the negotiations for pe ice
were Just at the most anxious point. That
.France was eagerly trying to play tlie arbiter is
a public fact; bnt in this-doctitnent It la prepos
terous to discover evidence of Bistnrirk or Prus
sia, having been disposed to buy off France by
unworthy concessions. This, however Is the
charge explicitly uttered in the closinV para
graph of this fifth volume, without one tittle of
evidence in support thereof. On the contrary
evidence can be found even In the garbled ver
sion, in the opposite sense. Bismark refers (iolu
to the prop-ammo he had given In his despatch
of the Hth July. That programme must have
been the one brought to 1'iuis on tho 11th by
Prince Rcuss, and of the nature of which wc
know this, that on the 12th M. Drouvn ,1c I. linen
in reference to this communication, wrote to
Prince Mcltcrnich that Austria's expulsion from
the Confederation was a sine oua nun condition
and that if Austria did not at once yield this
point, tho contest would be continued to the
uttermost. That the King himself, after 8adowa,
was possessed of a pronounced craving for pro
vinces; that at this crowning moment of mili
tary achievement, the sense of what In the way
of aggrandizement it was incumbent on his
Hohen.ollern nature to obtain weighed mightily
on his mind, is an old story; but there is nothing
In this that in any manner impairs the really Ra
tional spirit which throughout animated Prussian
counsels. There is not a shadow of evidence
furnished for the preposterous assertion that
Prussia show ed herself disposed at one time to
satisfy the French desires for aggrandizement at
the expense of (ierman interests.
But w hen such feckless assertions und n -h
deliberate perversions of a text are met with in
a publication of this peculiar character, it is not
possible to dismiss them lightly.1 It is bad
enough when an individual lends himself to mis
representation, but what Is to be thought of a
(iovernment that deliberately makes itself a
parry to so discreditable a publication of garbled
documents, obtained in the first instance by
fraud, and then falsified, for the publication in
which this scandalous falsification Is given to
tne worm is avowedly ami strictly official? Now,
what is deserving of notice is the fact that,
rightly or wrongly, the belief is entertaiued in
Berlin that for this last breach of propriety
Count Beust is not himself directly responsible,
but that it is due to other and even more exalted
influences. The book which contains these
astounding sallies is one published under au
thority of the Military Chancery that Board
which has ever been the reserved domain for
fjiperial presidency and Court V. influence. It
Tofcsses to be the version of the military action
of the Austrian army in ISM, and as stich'is com
piled, with the assistance of j records in the
pigeon-holes of the Austrian War Othce in that
office where the Archduke Albert is supreme. It
is to Imperial agency, in the direct sense ot the
term. then, that the public action is ascribed in
Iserlin, and it Is but natural that this view should
add greatly to the importance of a manifestation
o indecorous and foreign to all precedent.
