TWO LADIES FORTY YEARS AGO.
Grace Greenwood, in, the book called
Erstnent Women, writes as follows about
Fanny Fern and Mr& Stowe as they were
before they_became known to fame.
Sarah Willis was- educated at Hartford,
in' the far famed seminary of Miss Catha.
Tine Beecher. At that time Harriet Beecher
' (Mrs. Stowe).was a teacher in this school.
She was amiable and endearing in her
ways, and , was recognized as a decidedly
clever young lady with a vein of quiet
humor, a sleepy sort of wit, that woke up
and flashed out,wildn least expected; but
of a careless, unpractical turn of mind.
She was, not thought by any means the
equal in mental powers and weight of her
elder sister, whcise character was full of
manly energ , Who was a clear thinker,
and an excel ent theologian, a--good, great,
high-hearte woman, with 'a strong will
and remarkable executive abilities. Of all
I,
his children. Dr Beecher is said to have
most highly re pected Uatharine. Sarah
Willis - inust he e have laid an excellent
foundation, lb successful authorship,
though probabl nothing Was farther from
her thoughts at the time than such a pro
fession. • It would have seemed too quiet
and thought compelling a career for her,
with her heart as-full of frolic as a lark's
breast is of singing. There are yet tradi
tions in that staid old town of Hartford, of
her merry school-girl escapades, her sitr cks
and her manners," that draw forth as hear
ty laughter Its the witty sallies, humorous
fancies, and sharp strokes of sanire that
give alier writings their peculiar sparkle 1
and dash. If she grappled with the exact
sciences it is net probable that they suffer
ed much in the encennter. For geometry
she is said to have an e•pPeial and mverate
dislike. Indeed, her tearter,gMrs. btee e,
still tell- a t-tnry of her Navin; torn out the
leases_of Euclid to curl her hair witu.
So, she .lad :herself tinwn to ma he
mantel dreams. her fah. head bristling
;with acute angles, in parallelogrammatic
paralelopipedonio papillotes, in short, with
more geometry outside than in. - - A novel
way of getting over "the dunee bridge," by
taking that distasteful fifth proposition not
only inwardly, but as an outside applica
tion, so that it might have read thus: "The
angles at the base of an isosceles triangle
are equal to one another; and if the equal
:aides ; be produced in eitrl papers, the an
gles on the other side of the os-frontis are
also equal." :But in the laughing, high
spirited girl there mnsthave existed unsue
petted by herself, the courage and en
ergy, the tenderness, the large sympathy,
_ the reverence for the divine and the hu
man, which love - and sorrow, the trials and
stress of misfortune, were to envolve from
her nature, and which her genius was to
reveal. A seer that might have perceived
towering above the ringleted head of her
absent minded yoUng teacher, a dark at
tendant spirit, benignant, but mournful—
poor, grand; old world-bewept, pollyglot
ted Uncle Tom—might also have seen in
the few - shaddowy recesses of her young
pupiPs sunny character, the germs of these
graceful "Fern Leaves" that were to bring
to the, literature of the people new vigor
and verdure, the odors of woodlands, and
exceeding pleasant pictures of nature.
THE MOON AND THE WEATHER
Professor Elias LGMTILiI3 has recently
published the result of his seven years ob
servations upon the effects of the 'moon
upon atmospheric phwomenon. The pa
per contains a short account of the labors
of other observer, nearly all of whom,
while admitting the lunar influence, difier
in their cooclusious. Schtibler. in Germs
.
ny, after twentyzeight years'observations,
-.ended 1839, deducted a sensible influence
of the .moon, the rainy days, 'at the time
when the moon was seven days • eld, being
twen y-live per cent. greater than when
she was fourteen days old. Mr. Harrison,
of England, by comparing the tables of
• sixteen, years of observations at Green
wich, ante years at Oxford, and sixteen
years at Berlin,- obtained results remarka
bly consistent with each other, and which
indicate that the moon exerts an apprecia
ble influence upon terrestrial temperature,
the maximum about four days after the
full, the difference between the tempera
tures at the periods named being two and
a halfdegrees Fahrenheit..
Mr. Ballet, on tabulating a series of sev
enty years mean daily temperature, awori.-
.
mg to the moon'e age, toned that toe high
est temperature occurred during the seven
days atter full - Moon, being' precisely op-
Doane to the reardi a of Mr. Harrison.
Schuiparellt, an Italian philosopher, after
a careful atialysis of thirty-eight years of,
observations made in Northern Italy, at-
Wined results which are also remarkably
consistent'With each other. They show that
about the time of the last' quarter of the
moon there is a maximum in the number
of rainy days, 1313 also in the frequency of
storms and in the degree of cloudiness.
Prof. Loomis draws the conclusion from
his table of seven years' observation,
that the moon does not affect the weather,
and maintains, in :.direct opposition to
Prof: Herschel, that the moon, just before
its, , influenced the weather toward
eloudinesarather than clearness, and fol
loWei theism° law as them:tn. The Changes
• howeveri are inappreciable to urdilia
_ Eyobnervers, and no rules can be laid down
that will be useful in the transactions
of-daily life. The theory is only import
ant is inviting investigation by, observers
with philo.soplroal instruments.
The Cattle Disease in New York
The Governor of Ifew York, in pursn-
•
ante of an act passed in 1866, has appoin
ted three commissioners to direct and estab
bah such quarantine- and other regulations
as they may deem necessary to prevent the
introduction and spread of the cattle disease
to the State of New York.
The commissioners met at Albany, on - tile
17th inst., and have published' certain regu
lations as the result of their deliberations.
The first provides that all cars containing
cattle shall be stopped, on or before enter
ing the State, and if the cars are not in
proper sanitary condition, the cattle shall be
disembarked and the cars thoroughly
cleansed and disinfected. The same process
tope repeated at any place, if the cars are
found to be filthy.
&sand. I,f at any place, any cattle in cars
• are found to be diseased, they are immed
iately to be•stopped and to be put in qqar
antine, separating the sick from the well,
disinfecting the cars, and doing everything
necessary for treatment and for prevention
until the disease has ceased. ( -
Third. 'All, cattle -entering the State by
vessels, or on_the public highways, are sub
jected to the lame careful inspection and
sanitary restrictions. The commissioners
also prdhibit the slaughtering of animals
that have been exposie,d (to Infection, until
permission is given.
The regulations seem to be,jwilCious,. and
y :if falthfully-Cnforeed, will 'afford some pro
' tection, not only to New York, but also to
New :England, as the greater portion of
their beef cattle passes through Albany.

Trans•Allantie Gossip.
LABour.Avz has published a very remark
able paper on the situation in the
United litates.f He says that, even though
the horizon should be less bright than the
most prominent Republican .napers in the
United States claim, he considers-Grantand
Colfax's election a foregc.ue conclusion;
"for," says he, "at every critical - juncture
in its history, the American Republie when
its citizens were thoroughly, aroused, has
had the beat of luck, and so it will be again
this time. The election of Seymour and
Blair would be a great calamity, and the
United States are always too, lucxy on such
occasions to make me think, even for a
moment; that Grant Colfax could suc
cumb." • •
Ix case war should break out between
Prussia and France, Bazine would be ap
pointed commander-in-chief of the French
army, and Dumont, Folly, and Montauban
would command corps ender him. Canro
bert, who is of no account In the field,
would be left in command of the' Garde
Mobile at Paris,and the Emperor would go to
Strasburg. Tbis is what the officers said at
the camp of Chalons. Niel is considered
too imperious by the Emperor, who also dis
trusts MaeMahon. Prince Napoleon would
preside over the Council of. State in the Em
peror's absence, and a number of leading
Repuplicans, Orleanists and Legitimatista
would be placed ander strict surveillance.
Tab execution of the murderers of the
late Prince of Benda was a horrible affair.
The second culprit did not die until three
volleys had been tired at him. After the
first volley, when five bullets had struck
him{ - he stood erect for a few minutes and
then fell on his face, so that the officer in
command thought he was,dead; but sudden
ly the wounded man sprang to his feet again,
and remained erect until the second volley
was fired. He fell again, but lay writhing
and groaning on the ground. The third file
of soldiers were then grdered to step close
up to the poor fellow and- discharge their
muskets into his breast.
THIRTY Americans participated in the
great Vienna schnetzentest. Mr. Paul De
Climes, of New York, carried the banner
sent from Highland, Illinois, and Messrs.
H. Plaspohl and Chas. Lack, of Cincinnati,
carried a large American flag; presented by
Louis I. Ladner, of Philadelphia, who was
likewise in the procession: At the great
banquet a special table bad been assigned to
the Americans, among whom was also the
well-known Marcus Otterburg.
THF. King of Prussia now appears sel
dom in public without being accompanied
by a very handsome colored boy, whom
Gerhard Rohifs, the celebrated traveler,
brought 'k with him, from Abyssinia, and
placed under the protection off His Majesty.
The King says he thinks the boy is exceed
ingly talented, and he will give him an ex,
cellent education.
Irt the Vale of Blackmoor, in the West
