SCIENCE IN VC!). frvm Hi A. 1'. Ktening PomI, The yent which Las jnst amlml will perhnps hfi rcnicmtioreil longest as Hint in whioh the first railroad wns completed across this conti nent, and Unit in which the Kuoz Cnnnl ex tended tho Mndilerrunoan Sa eastward to India; changes which, together with tho new line of the Vaciilo Mail steamships from the Golden Onte to China, have praclioally shortened by one-half the nerngo time re quired for a jovivney avound the world. But there are other proof of roul progress in the world, -which may ono dny lo regarded as not inferior to theso, although the. noise they make at their coming is as nothing beside tho acclamations with which Christendom has greeted tho now pathways open to trade. These are found in the substantial addif ions which have been made to human knowledge in the domnin of science; the advances by which the mind of man has pressed forward into what have always been unknown realms. Chief . among these are doubtless the achievements of the spoctroscopo, espooinlly in the province of astronomical optics. It is but few years since this instrument of ie nenrch came into the hands of investigator; but it has already proved itself second in im portance only to the teloscopo and the micro ncope, in extending onr acquaintance with the laws of the universe. Indeed, we may say that any one of these three instruments alone, in the present state of science, would afford not a tithe of the resources which tho combined buttery of tho throe, assisting one another, places in tho hands of aggressive intellects, laying siege to that "workshop of nature" which Goethe declared to "forever inaccessible. " There are some results of stereoscopic in vestigation, achieved during tho last year, which puss beyond all tho boldest anticipa tions even of its inventors. Perhaps tho most brilliant of them is tho method of determining the "proper motions" of the stars, even whoa they aro in a right line to or from our sun. Tho spectrmn formed by a prism, dispersing the rays of light, is the result of the law that these rays are refracted moie or less, accord ing to the length of the "waves" of whioh they consist. Now, if a star is moving away from us or towards us iu ftpaco, a mathema tician can calculate how much the waves of light are lengthened or shortened by a given rate of motion; and how much any given ray, -located on the spectrum, for instance, by any of tho dark linos of Fraunhofcr, will be despatched thereby. It is found, in fact, that in a number of the fixed stars the dark lines which indicate the presence of the incandescent vapor of hydro gen or of iron are actually displaced, but always uniformly and in a degree which indi cates by calculation the direction aud rate of motion of the Btara. To appreciate the im portance of this discovery it must be remem bered that, previously, it was supposed thifl no such motion could possibly be detected, unless by observations continued long enough to establish a progressive and regular gain or loss in brightness of each star observed; that is to say, continued for many thousand of years. The very recent discovery also made by the spectroscope of the identity of the aurora boroalis with the zodiacal light, and of both with the corona surrounding tho Bun when totally eclipsed, is one which as yet, indeed, is a stumbling block to astronomers, but which seems to lead them to the very verge of some wonderful revelation. For it is always the most mysterious facts, the most unaccountable observations, that prepare the way for the greatest advances in know ledge. An exception to any law already known is sure to prove only an instance of some greater law waiting to disclose itself. Indeed, the activity with which now facts concerning the solar system have boon col lected during the lust year is itself ono of the wonders of Science. It is but a short time since tho astronomy of our own system was regardod as complete in outline, and only to be filled up by painful and abstract researches, perfecting our knowledge of the several bodies in detail, which could have no interest for the general reader. Cut now the whole intelligent World is filled with the renown of inquiries into the structure of the sun, the nast history of its gjlen the storms in its atmosphere, tho nature of its nebulous ap pendage, and even into the exact figures of its distance from the earth a question, how ever, on which no important addition is ex pected to what is now known, until the next transit ot Venus, juecemDor p, isi. The other sciences have been no loss ac tive of late, although some of thorn havo at ' tained only results of less general interest. In chemistry there has been great progress made in improving the nomenclature, and in the methods of exact analysis. Many of its new practical applications, too, have been most promising; none more so than the im provements in the manufacture of iron and steel from the ore. and in obtaining illumi nating gas. In zoology and paleontology there has been more zeal shown in Germany than here; and, although there have been no new works forming an era in these sciences, yet an era in the popular understanding and love of them has certainly been brought about in that country, where the people gather to gether by thousands whenever such a man as Virchow or llaeckol ox Vogt promises a sci entific lecture on questions which, but a few years ogo, were regarded as the exclusive con cern of a few specially learned men. The done of the year has been marked by making public the results of an expedition, sent out by tho British Government, to ex plore, by dredging, the depths of the sea. This attempt has been far more successful than its projectors darod to hope; and has resulted in proving the existence of life in a great variety of forms at depths which were supposed to be demonstrably an utter waste. Eight, at least, of the forms found in great depths are species which were known as ter tiary fossils, but were -supposed to have beon extinct for thousands of oj'es. Wo have re cently had occasion to comment on tho crucial 'importance of these results, in their bearing upon many unsettled questions of geology and Zoology; but they are too recont to allow any judgment tc be formed, as yet, of the influence they will ultimately have in modi lying the doctrines of "geological time," or (Lose concerning tho permanence of species. One lesson will be learned from the tri umphs of mind to which we have referred, as from ethers like them which have been achieved in the samo time; that no problem whioh can be distinctly set before human science is to be despaired of. There is not within the rqach of imagination an inquiry which concerns tho laws of the visible worlJ, that seems more hopeless to-day than some of those bo recently aud so satisfactorily solved; not thoiigt it ask the internal structure of our lobe jtuclf, or the laws of hereditary descent in ntiimiilN, or even it decision of the vexed qnrhtion v h'thoT organic life exists in other worhlw tfsnii thin. n;s. stov;j:s dvuon hook. Fivm tht A. Y. h'un. The pnbliphcrs of Mrs. Stowe's new book hnvo acted prudently in stimulating pnblio curiosity about it to the highest possible pitch before its appearance. Many thousands of persons will purchase copies of it simply to find out what there is in it, who, if they were fully acquainted with its contents beforehand, would not deigu to Rive it a passing look. A more pitiful contrast botweeu promise and fulfilment has rarely been scon iu the history of literature. For some months now Mrs. Rtowe has boen loudly proclaiming that the volume she had in preparation would be such a complete and triumphant proof of the truth of. tho charge fihe made against Lord Byron and Mrs. Leigh, in her article in the Atlantic Moatfdy, that there could be no further dispute on the subject. Upon tho testimony adduced iu the Atlantic the almost unanimous verdict of the ublic was that the charge was not proven; ut on Mrs. Ktowo's assurance that sho had further and more conclusive evidence in re serve, there has been a general willingness to suspend final judgment until that evidence could be weighed. Now that she publishes her book, whatever consideration may have been entertained for her will bo swept away, and sho herself be looked upon as a mere slanderer. Condensed into a few words, all this amounts to the simple proposition that inas much as the charge against Lord Byron, pub lished by Mrs. Stowo, was one of tho thou sand accusations in circulation against him during his lifetime, and was not positively disproved by him, though utterly discredited by his friends, therefore it must have beon true ! The reader may well ask in astonish ment, as we did on getting to the end of the chapter, Is this all ? Is there no direct testi mony from any one acquainted with the facts; no positive proofs of tho alleged criminal intimacy; no bringing homo of the alleged offspring of the incestuous intrigue to Mrs. Leigh as its mother r Absolutely none what ever. From the beginning to tho end of the volume, there is not a paragraph, not a line, not a word even, except Lady Byron's own statement, which presents any facts not per fectly well known to tho public long before Mrs. Btowe meddled in the matter. The whole book is simply a mass of inferences, all more or less destitute of probability, and oil entirely inconclusive. For instance, Mrs. Stowe asserts that Lord Byron must have been guilty of some un usual immorality because he failed to de mand a judicial investigation of the quarrel between himself and Lady Byron. But the same argument would prove Lady Byron also guilty, for she, too, failed to demand a similar investigation when all England was riDging, as Mrs. Stowe shows, with accusa tions against her of unwifely and cruel con duct, it is said, too, that Lord Byron's bit ter remorse and hatred of his wife prove his guiltiness. Guiltiness of what ? Surely, a libertine, such as ho is said to have been, would not have felt any especial regret or fear for one intrigue more or less. The fact that Mrs. Leigh was his half-sister would not have troubled him, since it did not, according to Mrs. Stowe, prevent him from seducing her. As to what Shelley says, it proves the reverse of guilt. Ho calls the friendship openly displayed by Lady Byron for Mrs. Leigh "a decisive con tradiction" of the calumny. Mrs. Stowe's effort to explain away this manifestation of friendship, like her attempt to break the force of Lady Byron's letters, published in the Quarterly licvictr, is utterly fntilo. Even if it were occasioned, as she says, solely by a desire on Lady Byron's part to screen Mrs. Leigh from public censure, why ahould sho be believed in her subsequent attetrfpt to undo the effect of the artifice ? But the proof that there was any artifice in this apparent friendship depends entirely upon proving, in the firfct iustnnce, that there was something to be concealed by it, the presumption being that there was nothing, so that Mrs. Stowe's ingenious argument on this point falls to tho ground. There is no necessity for analyzing tho re mainder of this weak and trashy production. It is called "Lady Byron Vindicated," but it Bhould rather be called "A Failure to Vindi cate Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe." Without reoa or motive, sho put in circulation the nastiest piece of scandal that has been heard for; years, and now, when called upon to prove it, she falls back upon the original fabrication of Lady Byron's mind, weakened bv ace and distorted by brooding upon her wrongs, as if a repetition of this fabrlca'iOfc were uimnpnani testimony 10 us intrinsic truth. She has achieved notoriety, it is true, but it is a notoriety of which no respectable woman should be proud. THE FRENCH CABLE MONOPOLY. From f he N. Y. IHmes. The famous "cable" paragraph in Presi dent Grant's Message has at least found a re sponsive echo in the sympathies of our coun trymen and countrywomen in Paris, however it may affect the Parisians in general, and outrage the sensibilities of the French au thorities in particular. It is clear that tho illiberal policy of tho French Government, so far as the Franco American cable is concerned, is reacting not against the Government only, but against the company itself, whose stock i twenty-nvo por cent, below par, solely in consoqnence of trouble with the United States authorities, w hereby its tenure upm American shores is made sb uncertain. It is not impossible that this process of bearing" is resorted to. less in consequence of political vagaries in the brain of that "sound Confederate," Mr. Lr langer, than as a shrewd business device for getting hold of tho stock at depressed rates, and before it shall bounce up again on tho adjustment of difficulties by reasonable con cessions. That these concessions must ooine, we hold to be beyond question. Our Gov ernment never will submit to the humilia tion of seeing so unnatural and unjust a monopoly permanently established rs the present arrangements confer, especially while it is publicly bolieved and claimed that Erlangcr and Router, as our Pans correspon dent Bftvs, "agreed, when the ditUoulty arose about landing the cable on our shores, to obtain from the French Governniont tho annulment of the twenty years' exclusive privilege granted to that company." But how, on the contrary, are theso accredited agents of the company, ana now are trie comp uiy themselves, going oni" Uur correspondent tells us that the I rench stockholders are ar ranging either for a fusion with tho English Cuble Company, or the maintenance of the present rate of messages. He tells us that on its thirteenth week of operation, the French cuble yielded over eleven thousand dollars in gold, which, if the published ex penses be correct, would make about eleven per cent. een then, on the actual first cost, lie tells us, finally, that at the late meeting of the stockholders, the President dooUrod that France would stand by its grant of twenty years' monopoly, aud that Erlangcr verified the assertion. No if, as it is alleged that tho compiny claims that it can lobby through Congres itself a confirmation of this monopoly, it is well for onr poople to keep a sharp look-out on tho proceedings of this body. Everybody will remember how public indignation was stirred when, just before theneir wiro touched the sRnd at lhixbury, it was made known that tho permission applied for by certain of our citizens to land an American cable on tho French shore had been peremptorily refused. The prospect of a new submarine cable was grateful; the thought of connecting the Old World with the New by a wire, one of whose ends shonld touch our own soil, was a welcome thought, nd stirred an emotion which even the Valentin and Heart's Content cable did not excite. But all this pleasure was instantly turned to indignation, and the outcry of the feople was unanimous, when the nature of the 'rench concession was thus practically aud pungentiy made known. We repeat that it only remains for the French concnsionnairf to disarm tho storm in season, aud for the French Government to repair its errors. The arrangement effected hitherto for non-reciprocity in privilege is opposed to the spirit of modern commerce by barring out competition. - There was not for it even the excuse of a new experiment, do serving patent or exclusive rights, since the cable from Ireland to Newfoundland had already been successfully laid, and thereafter success for similar enterprises was assured. Until this proper modification is made, new enterprises like the Bolgo-American cable will start with the popular sentiment in their favor, and the fate of tho French cable will remain uncertain. THE DRUNKARDS' CAIINIVAL. From the X. Y. Tribune. It is the general testimony of our city presu that the Christmas holidays were this year distinguished by extraordinary and excessive drinking. "New York was drunk yesterday" is tho rather strong expression of one of them with reference to New Yeor's; but that tho drinking of thnt day was general and immo derate, even for New York, is tho concurrent assertion. Drinking was once all but universal; now it is not. There is a very considerable mino rity, even in this metropolis of sensuality, who systematically and on principlo reject every intoxicating beverage. These are a hundred times more numerous than they were fifty years ago. But, apart from tho rigidly abstinent, it is our conviction that thero was more drinking and deeper drinking here in the year 1 si;i than in any of tho 2(50 preceding years since Hendrick Hudson dis covered this island. The fearful consequences can hero only be glanced at. Destitution, squalor, vice, pro fligacy, robbery, murder these are more pre valent in New York to-day than at any former period. Beggary and harlotry, crime and in famy, crowd our streets; finding in the grog shop their source and their inspiration. Very rarely is a novice drawn into a gaming-house or a den of debauchery except when under the influence of liquor. It is our firm con viction that, if alouholic beverages could be wholly and permanently banished from our city, and all our police and machinery of criminal justice wont with them, there would thenceforth be less crime nnd far less misery in our city than there is. There is a very considerable body of re spectable citizens who cannot shut their eyes to these horrors, yet who are not converts to total abstinence. They drink rarely and cau tiously ot least, they think bo are in no danger of falling into drunkenness, and do not feel constrained to give up what they deem an innocent and pleasurable exhilara tion because others abuso liquor to their own hurt and that of their families. They are not convinced that our way of figllting what they admit to be a great evil is tho right way. We do not propose at this time to discuss our more palpable difference, but to ask then whether they or'ninol to resist intemperance in way. Grant that our way is wrong, how does that excuse your seeming apathy, your practical indifference? Here are tens of thousands annually swept on to ruin by the use of strong drink: how docs our error, if it be an error, excuse your heedlessness? Admit that, with your convictions, you can not act with us w ho stand for total abstinence, dees that excuse yon from acting at all. In Massachusetts and other States where prohibition has been strongly advocated, these moderates profess to favor a stringent Excise law, which they say would do more for temperance than prohibition Can, because- it cn5 .V? tJ'ivrced, while prohibition cannot b. Yet in this State, where no serious effort for prohibition has been put forth for years, the moderates raise no voice in favor of our mild and liberal Excise law, but generally help elect legislators pledged to abolish all excise laws or render thorn inoperative. The Sunday Merevry demands, as one result of our late Democratic triumph, that the sale of liquor shall be made as free hero as that of sugar, beside having Sunday given over to it,, as it is not to the sale of sugar; and this seems to be in accord with the spirit now dominant, and eeriainly to prevail in fact if not in law. Men of convictions and of moral principles, w ho are not total abstainers ! what is your wny of repressing excess in drinking ? Lot your acts answer ! THE BOSTON BLUE-STOCKINGS. From the -V. Y. World. The literate ladies of Boston have a club. They assemble therein and read each other their respective poems. Sometimes Emerson comes and lectures to them. Ones a month they venture upon the extravagance of a tea party, to which nnanointed outsiders aro sometimes invited. On theso occasions Pallas lays aside her helm and Minerva her scroll, and for tho hour they become bewildering and enchanting mortals, with a corroct taste in souchong and a lively sense of a joke. It is a Boston patent of nobility to be sum moned to one of these suppers of the god desses, and if the club chose to confer decora tions they would be as ambitiously sought for as are the insignia of the Ordor of the Black Eaglo or the Golden Fleece. Supper at the Hotel de Bambouillet was something to re member; but the finical and shallow fops and fribbles of that famous resort were no more like the stately aud august assemblage of tall, wise women and "men with learning palo" who assembled in the little dingy hor.se in Tremout placo than a clustor of tiger moths are like a bevy of birds of paradise. A journalistic enthusiast has beon ad mitted to this sacred and secluded arcanum, and ho tells the world some of its secrets. Mrs. Howe radiates ban mots; Emer son jokes; Bewail bubbles; the conversation, when not humorous, is ' "soulful." The by laws do not prohibit knitting, and an occa sional Penelope briskly plies her noodles; at intervals the ladies take refuge from philo sophy in charades; nor do they disdain tableaux. Unlike the members of the Soro sis, they seem to care little about eating and drinking or the splendor of their environments. They doubtless think that tho iittn divinior is ono thing and the otiuni rum dignitalc another. If they can approve their claim to the first, it is likely that they will surrender the latter to their New York sisters without a pang. And they will presently have an op portunity of vindicating the Baid claims, for they are going to publish a newspaper. It will probably be less screaming and vehement in tone than the JincoMtion, but it is safe to Eredict that its literary character will be as igh as the common law of Massachusetts will permit. Mrs. Howe will supply its in tellectual radiance and its bland atmosphere of scholarship; Garrison will darken and agi tate the namo with casual thunderbolts of gratuitous fanaticism; Higginson will reason from the wrong premise to the wrong conclusion, and with much copiousness confuse the counsels of the wiso; and Miss Lucy Eton, of whom we have not hitherto been awaro, but who is of tho edito rial quartette, will do something or another, nnd upon this simple testimony of her name musical as the murmur of hautboys or the rustle of leaves we venture to assume that she w ill do it with grace and grammar, and that neither her argumentation nor her rheto. ricol usages shall bring tears to the eyelashes of the elect. Tho llerolution will have to burnish its armor anew if it wishes to keep its place in the reformatory field. The panoply of its competitor is far more shining and its weapons keener than the rather ruHty onos so savagely wielded by the pioneer paper. We await the issue of the Yotnn't Journal with interest, and, if it has anything new or clever to say, wo shall give it candid attention and, perhaps, occasionally communicate it to the universe unless, indeed, its publications are meant to bo confidential, which point the edi torial salutatory will probably clear up for us.
