The large expanse in the centre of it it kept clear for dancing, and spectators whose minds and toes are not light or fantastic, re main in the cloisters which surround it, and which are well supplied with com fortable chairs and solas. Sometimes it happens that the young me* are in dolent or timid, and the young ladies stiff, and then the smooth shining door is a desert, and in spite of the floods of light and music, there is something de pressing about the general aspect. But that was not the state of affairs oue August night, although the majority of visitors present were English. There had been a great deal of fraternization at the tah!e*-d'hot of the different ho tels : walking, riding, driving parties had been made np daily; the foreign element was just sufficient to correct the British stillness, without teing numeri cally strong enough to provoke its ex clusiveness. Altogether a very pleasant little society was formed in the place that- season. Milliceut Lurid was an Attractive member of it; a handsome, high-outraged girl; an orphan, sole surviving child of a drysalter, conse quent! van heiress. While at school, from tie age of twelve to nineteen that is, she was happy, hut her guardian's wife had patronizing manners, which Milly quietly put np with till she was twenrr-one, and then took charge of herself—that is, she engaged one of her old governesses, who was getting too blind and deaf to teach, and would con sequently have been otherwise destitute, to accept the nominal position of taking charge of ber; but of course it was a sinecure. People were shocked ; but much Milly cared for that! She sat on a sofa behind one of the pillars, talking to a black-haired man of about thirty, who dressed rather too well for the ex pression of his featnres, which was in telligent. "I am afraid of yon, Mr. Bertram," ahe was saying. " Are you ? he replied. "How peo ple are maligned; I heard that yon were afraid of no one." "Perhaps you have been slandered also." " Shall 1 tell yon a romantic story ?" " O yes, please." " I>o not let your expectations rise," said Bertram ; "there is nothing sensa tional about it. Upwards of a year ago I happened to be staving at Brussels during the Carnival. The Countess G. had a fancy to give a masked ball, and I received an invitation. It was a very brilliant affair, and at the same time the company was select, for the hostess re ceived all her gnests on arrival singly, and nnmaeked, in a small ante-room, so that noue but those who were properly invited could gain admittance. I had not been in the room five minutes be fore I saw a bine domino, who produced the most extraordinary effect upon me that I have ever experienced. Up to that time I had langhed at mesmerism, presentiments, everything which is con nected with a mysterious intercommu nication of spirits. Bnt now the fact of the existence of secret sympathies was forced upon me. I knew at once that this was the only woman I could ever love. Of course I had often thought myself in love before, bnt now I saw that I had given that name to a passing fancy, which never reached my heart. I spoke to her, I danced with her. How the night passed, I have no idea ; it seemed gone before it had be gun." " Yon saw her face before she left ?" " Not for a moment. Nor was I able to discover who she was, or where she came from, afterwards. That she was English, I am confident, though she spoke Italian all the evening. " I am quite interested," said Mis;- Lund. What was her height, and her figure ?" " Like Yours," "Indeed! And the color of her hair ?" " Yonrß exactly." " And you have never met her again?" " Not till this evening." " Really, Air. Bertram," said Milly, laughing, " yon almost look as if you were going to claim me as your mysteri ous domino." " No ; I remember my premise." " And that was ?" " Not to claim lier until she wrote or uttered the word Espcranza." " Really, you have kept your word, and told a veritable romance ; tYc lady has only to turn out a ghost or a ghoul to make it complete," said Miss Lund; but as she spoke, she started and turned pale : it was only with an effort that she completed her sentence. Bertram, looking round for the cause of this emotion, saw that a new arrival at Bpa, a man whom he knew slightly in England, had just entered the room and he experienced that pleasing thrill which animates a pointer on snuff ing a g&mey scent, or a dramatic author when the idea of a plot comes into his head, for he relieved the tedium of a somewhat lethargic existence by watch ing the little social romances going on aronnd him. If he had been a tattler, this might have proved a mischievous propensity ; but he kept his discoveries to himself, or only intimated them to the principal actors, for his amusement consisted in knowings what ot hex. people .{ailed to perceive. The young Aan who had just entered moved up the ijpom, looking right and left for ac- FHI'JD. 1\ l irrZ, Jvlitorantl Hropriotor. VOL. VI. qnaintancca. Ureeently, ho saw Ber tmni, who eiuno forward and shook hands with luuj, naked him wln-n ho had arrived, what hotel ho was staying at, and other little eonmionplaoe*, whilo ho was answering which lie saw Miss Lund, and could not prevent a slight start ln-fore he bowed coldly. The young lady replied with a distant baud of the neck. " You know Miss Lund ?" said Ber tram. " I had mot her ouce or twice. But they are going to dance again, and as I am uot in a mood for violent exercise, having only jnst swallowed tuv dinner, I shall go and have a look at the Trtntc et Though not a gossip himself, Bertram by no means objected to take occasional advantage of the gleuniuga gat herd by members of that fraternity, so he went and sat down by Mrs. C racket. " So you have beeu making love to the heiress," satd she. " Bash, under your very eyes, wasn't it ?'" he replied. " But what is there between her and Graham ?" •' Do you incau to tell me that you don't know ?" " How should I?" I was not aware of Miss Lund's existence till this even ing. " " Well, they were engaged for ever so long ; he was at her houseevcry dav; most improper, with only that poor old Miss Oorney to act us cliaperone ; when anddenly she broke off the match. The airs these parvenus give themselves. "Was there no cause, then ?" "Oh, I suppose it was some jealous whim, and there may have been some occasion for it You meu are all alike." This was quite enough for Bertram to start upon, and he made no more in quiries. But he enlistened himself in the troop of the heiress's admirer*, w hick was pretty numerous, took the Lund shilling,' as lie himself expressed it, and being an adept iu the art of making him self agreeable, was soon promoted to the rank of leading partner and first shawl-carrier, vice Williams and Ven ables, told off respectively to Miss Cor ner and the lupdog. This distinction did not put him up unduly, for tliedescrim mating young man perceived that the preference was afforded him because he , I aoldotn approached the topics of love or ; matrimony, and when he did, it was ml ! wavs in a ton oof badinage. Yet there were times when she aasum -1 ed a coquettish air, which seemed to 10- I vite him to mqfe serious flirtation, but this was invariably when Graham was ; present, and appeared to be observing j her. "Now, "said Bert ram to himself, "there are two courses for the male spoon to panne: either to clear oat of the place altogether or follow the spoon's lead." Graham adopted the latter course, and harnessed himself to the ear of a handsome young widow, who dressed gorgeously, rode fearlessly, talked slangilv, danced untiringly, and tat Juu-tt to play. The manners of the little English community assembled at Spa were very mnch relaxed from the standard set tip by each individual member at home. Persons, even of different sexes, spoke to one another without a formal intro duction ; young ladies danced some times twice consecntively with the same partner. The majority only went once to church on Sunday, and devoted the rest of the day to long walk* in the woods, the perusal of secular journals, and listening to the band, which played other music than Handel's. Many who frowned at sixpenny whist at home as gambling, staked their florins and flvc franc pieces at roulette and rouge-et noir. But there was one tacit law which the female portion of the British visitors adhered to religiously, and for bade them to take seats at either of the plav-tables. They might stand behind, and make their little stakes over people's shoulders, with an air of assumed indif ference as to whether they lost or won, if they pleased. That was considered to lie mere looking-on. But to sit down like a regular Gambler, with a big G, was held to be a fearful breach of pro priety. And this crime Mrs. Geylass, the voting widow, committed. She con stantly took a seat, which was obsequi ously vacated for her at the unsocial board, removed her gloves, took a card and pin, piled her stock of napoleons into little heaps in front of her, and ! went in for the thing in the most busi ness like way, her admirers clustering , round and backing her luck ; on the principal, I suppose, tlist imitation is the siueerest flattery. The admirers al- | laded to were all men ; their mothers, wives, and sisters abhorred her to a wo- , man. They would have cut her, onlv | her late husband's consin was a lord, ami her own father a baronet, and she j was rich. Blood and money cover more sins than charity, so they bowed and smiled, and answered when she spoke tp them. But that was not verv often, for the widow preferred masculine con versation. This was the lady to whom Graham now devoted himself; he procured nose gays for her; he contended for the honor of her hand iu the ball-room, and her foot when She mounted on horse- j back, and his attentions were always most earnest when Milly Lund was ; present. Bertram smiled approval. "Graham is no fool," thought he ; " he has selected the next most attractive ' girl; just as the Lund has selected the next fin her blinded judgment) most attractive man." This soliloquizer bad no false modesty, you see. Having thus ascertained that these , two yonng people were desperately in love with one another, Bertram no longer gave himself the trouble of pay ing so assidious a court to Miss Lund, and cultivated the acquaintance of Graham, who was too mnch a man of the world to shows reserve which might betray jealousy, if he felt any, which is doubtful. The two men had notchanced UA meet often, bat they had been thrown together some two years before in the settlement of a domestic matter in which Graham had behaved in a manner calculated to excite Bertram's esteem, j and he was inclined to like the man j who knewbetterof him than most other people did. For oar loves and friend ships depend quite as much npon men and women's opinion of ourselves as upon their own intrinsic merits. They breakfasted at the same little table ; -they strolled afterwards in the hotel garden, smoking ; they also con sumed their last cigars at night in com pahy, and waxed confidential. At least, the'one who had something to confide did it, and Bt rtram learned that Graham was on the point of going out to Africa to shoot big game. The other visitors at Spa made a to tally different arrangement for the young man, and decreed that he was about to many the lively widow forthwith. Mrs. Crocket announced the forthcoming event to Millicent Lund as an ascer- tained fact, and the young lady, believ ing it, went mad. Ido not mean that she required a straight-waistcoat, or put wild flowers in her hair, or sang scraps of song, or danced with her shadow. She did not even show any emotion be fore Mrs. Cracket and the gossips, but smiled, and remarked that she supposed it was a good match ; for she was not of an hysterical nature. But her mind was for the time unhinged, for all that; and she was quite capable of doing some desperate thing which society would have brought in temporary in sanity. It was quite true that she had THE CENTRE REPORTER, broken with Graham, but then he had no business to marry any one else, etc. How could she 9p|M<a*c her resentment; how prove that sliedid not eare oue iota for the man she laid once been la-trot bed to ? If she could only take the initia tive ; that would l>e better still So one can throw off the restraints con ventionally imposed by their fellow creatures with impunity ; if Milly Lund had uot indulged her tastes for iinle pendente and originality to such an extent ;if she hml had any experienced friend of her own sex in whom she hsd confidence, to advise her, she would never have been guilty of writing, on a alioet of letuou-oolored note-paper: " Let me tee yuu to-morrow tiuindng— M. /.," and dropping it, with her hand kerchief, at the lledoubte, a lieu only Bertram was near euough to pick it up. The wisp of paper was uot addressed to auyliodv in particular ; that was the only almti of prudence she showed ; but theu she gave it almost with her own hand, which vats very shockiug. "If Graltatu had known that I had this my in pocket, he would hardly have bidden me suoli a friendly good night!" said Bertram, ou examining the note before going to bed. And then he put it carefully awav in Ins pocket-liouk. When he called at Milliccnt's lodgings, he fouud her alone, not even Miss Oor ney Ix-iug present. She had a wild, excited look iu her eyes, ami a deep flush ou her cheek; and directly the door was closed, she stepped hurriedly towards him. "Do you know why I have invited you here ?" she asked. Bertram looked us many volumes as he could, and l>owed discreetly. "Espeatnza!" soidshe, turning away. "What!" cried Bertram. "Mv rui- j pathies were true; you are really 4 j "The blue domino !" Instead of throwing himself at licr feet, seiziug her hand, and colling her by her Christian uaqie, as he ought to hutfo done, Bertram said, in a musing , toue: "Curious! 1 was never at a ball in j Brussels in my life " "Oh!" cried Millicent, shrinking away, covering her face with her hands, and shedding tears of bitter shame and ] humiliation. "I hope you will forgive me," Ber tram continued. "I had uo idea you would lielieve my rodomontade, which was only mode tip at the moment for fun. Pray, do not be distressed; 1 know all about it. It is pique which has impelled you to listen to the suit of so unworthy an individual; if it were otherwise, f should indeed esteem my- j self the most fortunate of men. As it is, it is happy that 1 am neither u needy adventurer, nor an unscrupulous lover, or (wrhsps you might have been hurued into a marriage which would have proved the misery of your life; and Graham would be eaten by lions, hug ged to death by gorillas, stamited wut by elephants, poisoned by snakes and quinine, and—and all sorts of things. By-the-bye, do you know that he is off to the Cape next mouth?" Millicent was too much overwhelmed bv appreciation of the position she had placed herself in, to reply; so Bertram went on: "They have made np a story about : his engagement to Mrs. Geylass. Ab- ! sard ! If he cauuot marry one bnlv, I am certain he will never take to another, unless perhaps an Ashaiitee. Not even for pique. Ido wish, dear Miss Lund, that yon would make a friend of me, and tell me the real cause of offence in Graham. Do you think me curious and impertinent, I only ask because I have a snspicion that I might lie able to re move some false impressions. I was j left trustee to a young lady, a cousin of my own, to whom Graham was once en gaged; and I know that when the affair was broken off, he was very much blamed. Can tliut sad business have caused you to think badly of him?" " Had I—not—a right— to do so ?" sobbed Millicent. " Far be it from me to place a limit to the Rights of Women !" said Bert ram. " I only know that Graham was not one iota to blame in that sail affair, the fault being entirely on the lady's side ; that he coald have cleared him self in your estimation at her exjiense, j if he had not pledged himself to silence; ' and that he kept that pledge, when the happiness of nis life wus at stake, is | very much to his credit. It is no ro ' mutice that I am telling you this time, Miss Lund ; I give you my word ofbon jor that what I say is trie. I was one of those to whom Graham made the prom ; ise of secresy." When yon have nothing more to say to a woman who is cryiug, it is best to go away. Ho Bertram went. When he parted from Graham that night, he said : " By-the-bye, I have something to give yon, old fellow." And opening his pooket-book, he pro duced the little undirected note and handed it over. On the following morning Millicent hod another caUer—aa unexpected one i this time. " I have got your note," said Graham, seeing thnt she looked startled. " What ; may I hope ?" " My note!" Graham lipid it in his hand open. She took it and read : Let mc ere you to-morrow morning. —M. L. " I harp bopn informpd that I—von ; hasty—once," she said, blushing over neck and forehead ; " and, if so, I am sorry for any unjust expressions I may I have used." She could not think what else to say. It did well enough. " But," said Millieent, after an hour's conversation, " you were very proud i yourself, you know, Harry, not to make ! any appeal to the trustee people to ex plain." And though he did not think so, he owned it; just as he would have owned anything just then. He did not go to Africa to shoot gor illas ; he stopped at home, and married i the heiress. He is very fond of Bert ram ; but I do not think his wife likes his friend so well as sho professes. | That little scene was trio humiliating. ■ Statistics of Population. The Memorial Diplomatique gives the following interesting account of the density of the great cen ters of humanity throughout the glolie. There are nine cities having a popu ! lation exceeding one million souls, viz : London, 3,251,000; Soochow, 2,000,000; i Paris, 1,825,000; Pekin, 1.048,000; Yed do, 1,054,000; Canton, 1,230,000; Con stantinople, 1,075,000; Siang-tan, in the province of Hunan, 1,000,000; and Tchan-tchaon-foo, in the province of Fokien, 1,000,000. It will lie seen that although London holds the first place, I the Chinese empire can still boast of possessing more populous cities than all the civilized States of the West. The number of possessing a pop ulation ranging from above half a mil lion up to a million is twelve, viz: New York, Vienna, Berlin, Hang-kaow, Phil adelphia, St. Petersburg, Bombay, Cal cutta, Fow-chow, Tchehing, Bangkok, and Kioto. Twenty cities have a popu lation of from 300,000 to 400,000 inhabi tants, thirty-three of from 200,000 to 300,000, and ninety of from 100,(300 to 200,000 inhabitants. Europe alone pos sesses one hundred and seventy-ona cities containing more than fifty thou sand inhabitants, at the head of which stand London, Paris, Constantinople, Vienna, Berlin and St. Petersburg. CENTItE lIALL. CENTRE CO., TA., THURSDAY, MAY 15, 1873. How the Homier Is Hulked. The readers of the Lrttijrr doubtless observed in the cable dispatches a no tice that the cable laid Ul 1865 " had failed," at twenty minutes past twelve o'clock on the day la-fore ; and that an electrician would leave Loudon lit the evening to " locate the fault." They of course understood that it was the mis sion of the gentleman mentioned to go to the shore end of the cable ou the coast of Ireland, to ascertain at wliut imint of the two thousand miles of cable bul led under the sea the cable had been injured or broken. And we have no doubt some of them have wondered how it was possible for the electrician to know, or to learn, IC/I t rt the fault or the break could be, considering that some {Mirtions of the wire were a thousand miles distant from lu* point of observa tion, sud a great ileal of it hurit-d deep from human sight two miles beneath the surface of the ses. Yet every psrt of that loug distance, and every fathom of that abvss of water, are within the reaeh of the electrician's instrumental hnndt, and within the ken of lus scien tific eye. It is quite practicable for him to " locate the fault ' or the break, withiu a half mile of its actual position, no matter where it In-. Although these far-rescliiug powers are among the great marvels of modern science, the means and the prineiplea through which they are exercised are among the simplest thing* v hen seen and understood. A telegraphic wire will transmit on electro-magnetic wave or " current," in proportion to the square of its dianieLy'. The resistance to the transmission of the wave <hminitio t in proportion as the souare of the diame ter is increased. Tuis is oue law for the electrician. The second is that the resistance to the transmission of the wave inert nt in direct proportion to the length of the wire or cable over which it is sent. There two laws furnish the bases for the electrician's observations, calcula tions and results. 11c kuowo, to start with, the precise amount of resistance that a mile of the cable will oppoac to the transmission of s given quantity of electro motive force. He has delicate and wonderful instruments, made by ex|>ert tuechuuic*, that enable him to measure this with arcttrarv for half a mile or for teu thousand miles. Having this knowledge and these measuring in struments, and having control of the quantity of electricity he ia putting ou tlie wire, he is able to calculate to a nicety how many miles of the cable it is transmitted over, before it encounter* a greater resistance than that which is tine to the length and diameter of the cable itself. At or near the end of that uutnlier of mil< of cable, though it be u thousand miles from laud, oud two miles under the surfuee of the •*, the "fault" or brvak the elcctriciau ia in search of will be found. Our reader* should understand that we are not stating any men- hypothesis. This real wonder and securing uupnsi bility ha* been accomplished again and again. The principle* through which it is accomplished, arwtlie discovery of one of these quiet, studious men, who plod about iu their laboratories and workshops, and who are supposed by many people to be wasting their liTe* alioiit thing* of little practical use, but whose works, together with those of the skilled mechanics, who co-operate with them, really move the world along. This particular student of the laws of nature is I'rof. Ohm, of Xureuibuxg, Germany, one of several meu whose labors, like those of Oersted and our American Prof. Henry, have made the Magnetic Telegraph a possibility. The delicate and wonderful instruments by which th'ise principles sre applied, and which enable the electrician to extend his reach a thousand mile* out to sea, and to the bottom of the ocean abyss, have IMH® at work in one of the most modest work-shops in this eity for several years. They are the tools of a Philadelphia workman, who now leads the world in the manufacture of one important adjunct in telegraphy—a nearly perfect "insulator." The simple device for working the ocean cable is there also. This matter has been mentioned at some length, for the benefit of the bovs and girls in our public schools, who will see what grant! and useful result* are accomplished by the application of the simplest principle* of science, and that tliey may also understand that they need but rarely go beyond their own citv to find whatever they may wish to know, or to understand about science, applied to the nseftil purpose* of life.— Philadelphia Ledger. The .Mormon Bible. I find in my acrap-book, set down there thirty years ago, au item which may le of yiterest at the present time, when the Mormom problem is evidently npproaching a civilized solution. The truth of the statement herein given wns vouched for in my presence by a man who was above deceit. The origin of the " Book of Mormon," so called, has been a puzzle to many, much of it being evidently the production of a cultivated mind, and yet springing to light from the hands of illiterate men. It was written, in 1812-13, a* A liter a' y recreation, l>y Itev. Solomon Spnul ding, a graduate of Dartmonth College, at tlint time residing in New Salem, Ohio ; and, as he wrote it, it professed to be a historical romance of a lost race, the remaina of whose numerous mounds and inscriptions nrv found on the hanks of the Ohio. After the work had been completed the nuthor had thoughts of hnving it printed, and for that purpose he gave the manuscript into the hands of u printer, in whose office it remained for several years, but the design of printing was not carried into execution. As foreman in tlie printing office where Mr. Spaulding's romance was lodged was employed Sidney Itigdon, who af terward figured conspicuously iu Mor mon history ; and there is no doubt that he copied the manuscript and subse quently gave it to Smith. Upon the appearance of the Jkmk of Mormon, in IKIO, there were those living to whom Mr. Spaulding had rend pnrta of his ro mance, and they recognized his verbi age in the book. Upon search the orig inal manuscript was found among the papers of the deceased clergyman, and on comparison the Mormon liihle proved to have liecn not materially al tered from this parent text. Of course the discovery soon made considerable talk. A great many people went to see the manuscript, and at the expiration of a few weeks it mysteriously disappeared. As there was a Mormon preacher in New Sulem at the time, with proselytes at his heels, the mystery of tho disappearance was not very deep. EI.ECTIONEERTNO. —The Gardiner Kc porter tell* a little story of a town elec tion "at the head of navigation." A man who wished to be elected treasurer promised to treat the crowd on cider. Then he went to the Yankee who wa retailing the beverage aud undertook to buy up the stock so as to control the business, but was told he could have it for five cents per glass, " without any discount to the trade." His treat thus cost him more than he intended, but he was elected. His next move was to send a letter to the Yaukee threatening to enter complaint against him for selling cider unless he came and settled up for the advantage he took of him on elec tion day !

Hayes, iu one of his lec tures descriptive of his search of the open (Hilar sea, doscribed the glaciers and icebergs of Greenland vividly. All the interior of Greenland, the lecturer suid, is one vast field of loe, which grad ually and imperceptibly moves down ward toward the sea, the centre moving somewhat more rapidly than the sides, and by the fractures thus created giving to the ice those fantastic shapes which from time immemorial have lieen at once the marvel and admiration of ex plorers. When the glacier reaches the sea it passes on as before over the in clined plsiti beueatli the surface, until so much of it is immersed that it is uo longer üble to resist the buoyaucy of the water, and breaking from the gla cier, with a roar that can lie heard for miles, the iceberg risea to the surface, and floats away sometimes ns far as the coast of Newfoundland, while the gla cier continues its ceaseless movement downward U> form new icebergs from age to age. The masses of ice tliua de tached of caursc vary in size, but iu nil of them there is seven times as much ice under water as apja-ars shove the surfsce. From the deck of his vessel Dr. Hsyes once counted as many as 800, some as large as the hall in which he BUHNI, others sa Urge as Trinity church, still others as large ss the city of New York, and yet others twelve times the size of New York. Oue iu especial arose 317 hot above surface, and he computed its weight to have been not less than tweiitv-sereu millions of toua. With regard to the midnight sun. Dr. Hayes related an incident which, hod he uot actually witnessed it himself, might possibly have IKTU received with lucredulity by his audience. As he traveled northward the days gradually lengthened until darkness ceased alto gether, and the sun was never out of sight. The passenger* on bosrd the ship were mush incommoded, and were obliged to create artificial darkness by drawing curtains aroutnl them when they desired to sleep. The dumb animals on board were in a pitiful state of consternation ; the dogs howled unceasingly, and evinced a desire to bay the sun. But the most remarkable effect was created upon an old rooatcr, the last of their stork of fowl, whose life had been spared in consideration of his age and conse quent tonghnes*. This venerable bird, ilsy after day. watched the heavens, but found no opportunity of heralding the approach of dawn by his wouted crow. Ilia mind at last gave way, and one morning, iu full view of the astounded voyagers, the unhappy bird flew upon the rail of the ship, stretched his neck toward the sun, and giving the merest apology for a crow, sprang into the ocean and was seen no more. In 185". Dr. Hayes' first expedition aaihal northward, and breuking through the ice in Baffin's Bay, penetrated as far us latitude 75", this, up to that time, being the furthest poiut aver attained by explorer*. On tlie ior berg* which he eucouuterrd polar bear* were very numerous. Tln-se animal*, he aoid, ore far from being the ferocious monsters which voyagers are so fond of depicting.

Without a moment's hesitation the doe tor turned and ran, never stopping until his breath was utterly exhausted; he then looked In-hind him to see, as he said, how long a lease of life remained for him, nud to his unspeakable relief saw tlie Ix-nr was running also, but in the opposite direction. A very perilous adventure through which he passed during this voyage was listened to with breathless attention. The ship was lying in a large natural bay or harbor, close to a glacier; one day a terrific roaring startled every one on board. An immense ieclierg hod parted from the glacier, and risen to the surface so near the ship that the first of a succession of waves which it created carried the vessel, dragging her anchor, entirely across the liay, leaving her within a few feet of the rocks on the opposite side. The wave recoiling, threw over the deck a volume of water tliat swept before it everything not made fast, and forced the crew to hold on for their lives. Two of the finest glacier* the lecturer saw he christened after I'rof. Tyndall in compliment to tlie great scientist for hi* Alpine researches. Among tlie in teresting features of the lecture was the exhibition of some exquisite photo graph* of .Arctic scenes reflected upon a curtain on the stage. One of these was a gigantic rock on the coast of Greenland, which was in all respects similar to that on which the ill-fated Atlantic had struck, and it was a matter of surprise to Dr. Hayes, in view of the uature of the coiutt, that so many of the Atlantic's paaaetifirra had Ix-en saved. Melville Ray wus the highest point reached in this expedition. In conclu ding his lecture Dr. Hayes said tliat this trip might be made by any gentle man during the summer months in his own yacht. Noble sportcould be found in shooting polar bears, and the trip would be no more dangerous than crossing the Atlantic. At the first blush it might seem that sailing among these tremendous (jlaciers nud icebergs was perilous navigation, but it should be lwirno in mind that at the proper season darkness never hides them, and hence danger from this source need scarcely bo apprehended. Rapid-Traveling. Aa examination of tlie nine great rail way* which terminate in London show* that tin- average rate of apeed at which the quickest expresses travel in forty- KCTCII and three-quarter miles an hour. Two line* only excel this. The ten o'clock Northern train from London to Peterlwrongli run* the distance of nev onty-nix miles and a qunrter at the rate of "fifty-one mile* an hour. But the broad-gauge west of Knpland train* on the Great Western beat even the Great Northern. A train mnkes the run from I'uddington to Hwindon, seventy-seven and a quarter mile*, without stopping, in three minutes less than nn hour and a half ; this in a uniform pace of fifty three and a quarter miles nn hour ! The Great Northern fall* off it* pace after it passes Peterborough, and travels from Grnnthen to York at under forty-five mile* an hour. The Great Western falls off a little from Hwindon to Bath. But the journey from London to Bath by the 11:4. r > train is the quickest in the world. The distanco is one hnndred and six and three-quarter miles. It is timed for two hours and thirteen min utes, including ten minutes at Hwindon. The running time is, therefore, some thing over fifty-two miles an hour. The fastest time anywhere ou the Great Extern is forty-one miles an hour. The London Daily Ncwa give* many other figures comparing the speed of different roadH, instancing some trains that run a* slow a* thirtv-three and a half mile* an hour. The Great Eastern is the slow est, aud the Great Western the quickest of the railways. j 0 ■— . -.n- ■ .

At orrr*|Mm4*al l.uh> si *sn ksl sdut Afr lis UcstrocllVM. Aa we approached the town of Han Malvador, says a letter writer, the signs of di-structloli became apparent. All aqueduct which spans the road, and from which the city was mainly supplied, lay biokeii down, its massive arches blockiug the road, and the remnants threatening to fall at any umiueut. The bullock-drivers were doing a splendid business, the whole route being tliiong til with their wagons going to and fro. Ou arriving at the suburbs of the un fortunate city, our driver, au impudent vagabond, stopped, and refused to go suy further. He persuaded htm, how ever, to drive to the plaza, where we found the President, auJ most of the in habitants that remained, encamped. The English Vioo-Cousi-1 could not lie found uunndiatelr, so we waited ou His Excellency the ('resident, and made known the object of our mission, placiug our services at his disposal, and assur ing him of the sympathy of Her Britan nic Majesty's (iuvrnuui ut We soon afterward found Mr. Blair, acting Viee t'ousu), wlw in company with some other English gentlemen, was working hard to save what he bould from the rums of the British Consulate. In eomjNUiy with one of these gentle men, a Mr. Moffat, I mode an inspection I of the eity, taking aketehca of some , moat striking ruina. Such a scene of desolation I have never before witness od, Helens it be Africa. The whole | town wss down, with the exception of one or two wooden houses. All the ' churchea, including the cathedral, were s heap of ruina ; the spire of the latter had beeu arrested in ita fall, and re mained ta a slanting position, like the leaning tower of I'tsa, hut at a mnch greater angle. One of the bells must have been swuug completely round, as it remained mouth tip. The United States Consulate was a moss of ruins inside, though the onter walls were nlauding. Mr. Biddle, the Resident Minister of the United States, with his five little children, had a very narrow eacape. The Palace, being built of wood, re mained standing except where stone had been used, in which places the sides had fallen, leaving great gaps in the building. There was not s single honse left in habitable condition; the. stronger the walls the greater was the ruin, and the streets were oue moos of debria. Mr. Blair and his friends were living in the patio under a rude sort of tent, surrounded by the ruins of the cunsnlate. They were all wonderfully cheery under the circumstances, and as kind and hospitable as if nothing had hsppenetL Mrs. Keogh's escape was miraculous ; the room in which she wo* sleeping was completely wrecked, and must have been killed but for some Iwams which prevented the walla from j crtisLiug her. Accounts differ sa to the i number of livealost—some say as many j as fifty killed and 500 wounded: others j not so much; but all agree that the number is wonderfully small consider ing the damage done. Indeed, looking at the rums it seems extraordinary how any escaped, especially as the catastro- j phe happened in the night Most providentially the final aliock, which brought down the town,was preceded by two other* of sufficient force to awaken and alarm the inhabitants, who hsd I time to rush out, and so save their J lives. The Preaident behaved mosj nobly, and by his admirable regulations and the discipline which he enforced, pre vented anv riots or robberies. The eity was placed under martial la# ; citizens were authorized to ah<H>t any one inter fering with their property, and sentries were posted at the corners of the streets, with orders to fire st sny one lurking aliout after dark. Judging by the way the rifle-balls were flying about during the night, they must have kept a sharp look-out. Mr. Taylor, an American gentleman, who has been superintend ing the laying down of telegraphs in the (Hiuntry, sxteuded Iris hospitality to all; indeed" I do not know what we should have done without his assistance. He contrived to have a good breakfast and dinner prepared for all who chose to avail themselves of it, although his house ws* ruined like the rest. During our stay in the city—some forty-eight hours—we experienced seven or eight shocks of earthquake of more or less violence. No further damage was done by them, simply liecause nothing more could lie done, unless the earth opened vnd swallowed np the ruina. In some places it already onened, some of the cracks Wing npwara of a foot wide and of considerable depth. Mr. Biddle, who hail taken his family ont to a hacienda some three or fonr leagues off, rode in to set- us. We went together over the ruins of his bouse —a most melancholy sight. Many horses and mules were killed by th'e falling walls, and those that remained seemed to have their nerves quite shattered. Mr. Blair told me that one of his mules, a valuable animal, was now qnite worthless from the fright she had received ; alio would stop and tremble at the slightest sound. Birds also seemed in an excited state ; at every shook all the cocks began to crow, and pigeons wheeled wildly in the air. The President issued a decree the day following the disaster, saying that the town would be rebuilt on its old site. One cannot help Admiring the pluck of the gallant old man, but it ia nothing more nor less than tempting Providence to do sncli a thing. The city has been completely destroyed already six or sev en times, at intervals of afiont twenty years; the last time was in IKSU The ground on which it is built is a mere shell, lty placing one's ear to the earth running water may be distinctly heard, and if struck by any heavy object a hol low sound is produced. The Indians would never build on that site, and it is sheer folly to do so now. Before we left San Salvador carpenters were hard at work erecting temporary wooden houses in the plaxa, and a military batd plnved there in the evenings. The sick and wounded having b>en nlready re moved to Santa Tecla and other places, the services of Dr. Smyth were happily not required, so he and Mr. Davcv re turned to Libortad by coach, and Mr. Blair accompanied me on horseback. Tnr. Monoca.—General Schofleld aent the following dispatch to General Gil lem: •' Please inform me fully of the situa tion, so I may send more trtwipa if neces sray. If the Indian* escape from the lava beds I may send troops to operate against them from another direction. Let me kuow fully what you wish. I suppose you have force enough to de stroy the outlaws unless they succeed in eluding you. Nothing short of their prompt and snre destruction will satisfy the ends of justice or meet the expecta tions of the Government." In the wreck of the Northfleet, one navvy who was saved was beard by the correspondent ef the London Standard saving: "When I saw what was up, I said, *es I, I'm agoin' to die, aud I may as well do it as comfortable as I can, and so I lit my pipe." There was no high feeling in*that man, but there was an infinite capacity for discipline. Fear did not over power him in any degree. Ho thought a smoke even in the face of death still an object worth desiring. Termff: ©2.00 a Year, in Advance. Official Report of Ike Moatarra of the Peat* Commissioner*. The following letter waa received at the Interior Department, At Washing ton: HEAPqriBTKBS, CAMF SotTM Bint t Ttui LAKE, Gal., April 13, 1873.) The Hun. V. Delano, Secretary oj (he Interior. Hi a: Hmee our arrival at the lava bed the commission, together with lien. (,'auby, had labored hopefully, and had apparently gained several points over tlie Indians looking to a peaceful solu tion of this question. Until Frulnv morning, 11th mat., had thwarted all their schemes of treachery through the fidelity sf our interpreter, Mrs. Uiddlr, a Modoc woman. Ou that morning terms were agreed upon for a meeting satisfactory to Dr. Thomas oud lieu. Oauby, though not to Mr. Dvr nor my self nor the liudoo woman, Of®. Canny remarking that they dare uot molest as because his forces commanded the situs tiou, and Dr. Tliumss said where God called him to go he would go, trusting to His care. The meeting was held at the time and place agreed upon—Canby, Meacham, Thomas, and Dyar, and eight armed, instead of six unsrwed Indiana, as was agreed upon. The talk was short, the Modoc chiefs both saying that unless the soldiers were withdrawn 1 from the country no further talk would be hod. Up to that point the Commis sioner* reaffirmed that the soldiers | would never be withdrawn until the dif ficulty was settled, and stall extending j the offer of amnesty, a suitable and satisfactory home, and ample provision* for their welfare in the future. The 1 reply from lioth chief* was, "Take awav your soldiers and we will talk about it/' , < h-n. Canby assured the Indian* that he wus h ri for the protection of both parties, and to see that the commission faithfully fulfilled their promises. About'thi* time two armed Indian* suddenly appeared from the braah in oar rear. An explanation was asked, and I'apt, Jock replied by snapping a pistol at Gen. Canby, saying in Indian, "All roody," after which Geo. Canby was dispatched by Capt. Jack with a pistol and knife, and Dr. Thomas by a pistol abot in the breast and gunshot in the b?od by Boston. Meacham and Dyar attempted to escape toward the ( i-snip, the former followed by Srhoncbin , John, and the latter tiy Black Jim and ' Hooker Jim. Schonchin fin d eix shot* ! at Meacham, hitting him foar times, ' and leaving him for dead. Boston at- f tempting to scalp him, was deterred by a Modoc woman. Dyar escaped un hurt, though fired at three times, by Black Jim, who was only three feet away, and bv Hooker Jim, by whom he 1 was pursued. After running about two huudred yards he turned upon his pur sner *ith a small pocket Derringer, | when the Indian turned and ran back, > thu* letting Dyar get away. Mr. Dvar , will be obliged to leave in * day or two | on account of official duties, bat while here the remainder of the Commission will eousnlt with Gen.

Very respectfully, youro'iedient ■ servant, A. B. MEACHAM, Chairman Modoc Peace Commission. | An Atlxntir Cable. Tlie new Atlantic cable differ* some what from any of those hitherto laid, either to America or elsewhere. There are seven No. 18 gauge copper wires, twisted in * spiral, and weighing 300 ponnda per nautical mile, and these are covered with foar coat* of gutte pert-ha, with thin layer* of Chatterton s com pound, this amounting to 400 pounds per knot. The diameter of each wire is .0,048 inch ; of tlie stand, ,0,146in0h, and of the wire and gutta pert-ha and compound, .0,404 inch. This euro is Mwved with hemp, and the hemp ia again protected by ton wire#drawn from homogeneous iron, each wire being swathed in five yarn* of Mouilla hemp laid on spirally/with a tarry compound to preserve it. 8o far the cable ia r.at dissimilar to those of 1865 and 1866, and is almost identical with that of the French cable of 1868; but it ia sensibly larger, and the differeuoe ia owing to two serving* of jute yam wound on in contrary direction*, and covered with two coot* of Latimer Clark"* preserva tive compound. The cable weigh* nearly two ewt. per knot more than the previous cables; but it is even stronger in proportion, and is calculated to last twice a* long under the same conditions. The cable i* coiled dowm under water in the same tanks which have thrice done doty across the Atlantic, and there ia now" a fourth tank constructed quite class to the stem, capable of taking another 500 miles of cable. But if this was filled the Great Eastern would uot lie able to get over the Shecrn sa bar. As it is, she will tie down to her line as soon sa her coals are got on board. Right well does she look; fit at * week's notice for any service ; aa trim and as neat as a man-of-war. Those who have known her since the trip in which she blew np her second funnel, fourteen vesra ago, can ace no deterioration in her appearance, and when the new dock at Milford Haven is ready to take her in, that she may get scrubbed down and have the toua of mussels token off her bottom, she will be aa good as new in every respect. Small Expenditures. Five cents each morning. A mere trifle. Thirty-five cents per week. Not much, vet it would bnv coffee or sugar for a w(iole family—Slß2s a year. And this amount invested in the saving* bank at the end of each year, and the interest computed annually, would in twelve years amount to more than $670. Enough to bay a good farm in the west. Five rente before cash breakfast, din ner and supper : you'd scarcely miss it, yet it is fifteen cents a day, 81.(15 per week—enough to buy a wifeora daugh ter a dress—#s4.6o a year. Enough to buy a small library of books. Invest this as l>efore, and in twenty years you would have over #3,000. Quite enough to buy a good house and lot. Ten cents a morning ; hardly worth a second thought; yet with it you can bny a paper of pins or aapool o( thread. Seventy cents per week ; it would buy several yards of muslin. #30.50 in one year. With it you could buy a good suit of clothes. Depo*it this amount a* before, and you would have #1.340 in twenty years ; quite a snug little fortune. Ten oeuts before each breakfast, din ner, and supper—thirty cents a day. It would buy a good book for the children. #3.10 per week ; enough to pay for a year's subscription to a good newspaper. #109.29 per year. With it yon could buy a good melodeon, on which your wife or daughter could play sweet music to pleasantly while the evening honrs away. And this amonnt invested as be fore, would, in forty years, produce the desired amount of #12,000. — Floral Cabinet.

Since Sir Wyiiara Armstrong intro duced hia hydraulic machinery for raw ing ore from deep miaee, end for load ing and unloading ehipa in dook, it hae been applied, aa our readers are aware, to many other purposes. By the quiet pressure of water the largest of dock gates are now opened and closed with the utmost eaae ; newspapers are printed, lift* are worked in hotels and factories, and the scene* are shifted in theatres. At the Boyal Academy, when exhibi tions arc in preparation, trnckloads of pictures are raised from the basement to the galleries by s hydraulic lift of un usual site, fed by the ordinary water suppty. Water riua be used to mow the bellows of an organ, and in the employ ment of water for this or any other in termittent purpose there is the advan tage that it is always ready. Pull a lerer, or turn a tap, and il begins to work. There is no lighting of a ire. and waiting half an hour, as in the case of steam.
