GROSS IDOLATRY.
We apprehend we shall be compelled,
s >on, to send a few Christian missiona
ries to California. The Chinese popula-
t .on of that State, although f jr a long
t me occupying that land in very consxd-
« rable force, have been somewhat modest
i 1 obtruding their Paganism formally into
the presence of Christianity. But
very recently, a large number of idols
arrived at San Francisco from the “Flow-
37 Kingdom,” (as the Chinese denomi
nate their country) and a regular temple
on a large scale is fitted up in the most
orthodox Pagan style. The event was
the signal for great rejoicing among the
Chinamen.
We fear this form of Paganism may
spread among the native Americans. To
very many of the latter, in California and
a few other isolated spots in the United
States, the pure and holy doctrines of
Christ are not the most palatable in the
world. True Christianity imposes many
sensible burdens on a large share of
mankind. The ten Commandments—
Christ's Sermon on the Mount—and,
hbove all, the Golden Rule, weigh heavi
ly on the limbs of vast multitudes who
‘ weary in well doing.” Mammon is a
mighty power: Who is able to withstand
him? If the religion of Confucius shall
offer better terms to the Californian wor
shipers of Mammon than the heavenly
and holy doctrines of Christ (which we
do not for an instant doubt) then need we
be up and doing for the spiritual welfare
of our Pacific coast. Already we have
Mormonized Americans by thousands; let
us not have Paganized ones, also.

GIGANTIC TUNNELS.
Two great tunnels will be constructed
ere long, to which the reading world be
gins to look with interest. We shall en
deavor to give some idea of them to our
leaders.
The greater is that destined to effect
direct railway communication between
England and France, a distance, of about
twenty miles. When completed, it will
be the longest tunnel in the world—near
ly thrice the length of that of Mt. Ceni’s,
at present the longest tunnel in the
world.
The tunnel on the English side, will
enter the sea-bottom of the English Chan
nel at South Foreland, a little more than
fifty-one degrees and eight minutes North
latitude, and about 75 miles E. S. E.
from London. Commencing to descend
at a great distance inland, the tunnel will
pierce the enrst of the earth 200 feet be
low the sea-bottom above it. Burrowing
thus for 20 miles, it will ascend by an
easy grade, and passengers will see the
light of day again considerably inland on
French territory from Gris Nez—the lat
ter being situated at the border of the
channel in a southern direction, almost
20 miles distant, from South Foreland.
Passengers’on this Subtcrraneanand Sub
marine railway will thus cross the path,
but far- underneath it, of those voyagers
who traverse the rough and sea-sickening
waters on the old line between Calais
and Dover, by steamships.
As all can at once understand, a great
difficulty will be ventilation. But the ac
complished engineers planning the work,
profess to be able to provide for that.
The extreme roughness of the short sea-
voyage will make the railway the popu
lar- travel route, beyond all question; and
this consideration will insure the offer of
sufficient capital to effect this greatest
engineering achievement of modern times.
The material composing the bed of the
tunnel is already known to scientists to
be nothing more than chalk and clay ly
ing in alternate strata; and these offer no
difficulties to such an enterprise. We
expect to make the journey before we die,
and shall write a news letter to the Union
and Recorder from Gris Nez.
The other great tunnel referred to is
-widely different in locality and character
—piercing the lofty crest of the Andes at
a height of 15,000 feet above the level of
the sea, in the South American Republic of
Peru. The Peruvian Government has
been carrying on the construction of a
railway for a considerable time between
Callao, the port of entry of Lima (the
Peruvian Capital) across the lofty Andean
Mountains, to La Oroya on the Amazon
River, a distance of 13G miles. At the
distance of 105 miles from Callao, on the
Pacific Ocean, this railway, extending
eastwardly, and climbing the immense
mountain heights, reaches Summit Tun
nel 15,000 feet, or nearly three miles,
above the level of the sea. Thence it de
scends 21 miles to La Oroya.
This tunnel is not so remarkable for its
length as for its lofty elevation. Its
length is only 3,800 feet—being little more
than two thirds of a mile. But no other
railway has been earned to the immense
altitude of this; and its contrast to the
wondrous Submarine tunnel first named
is striking. Unlike the latter, the An
dean tunnel is rapidly approaching com
pletion; and before the expiration of the
present year, the trains will pass from
Callao to La Oroya. In order to scale
the Andes, a vast number of curves, and
dizzy bridges over gorges and mountain
streams, have been constructed; and we
may add. thirty five other tunnels whose
aggregate length exceeds three miles.
The Peruvian Government seems to
think that frightful monster “State
aid” is better than doing without this
great thoroughfare—showing that he is
behind the age, as compared with us.
Will the Peruvians “live and learn”—like
the Georgians? W. G. M.
SOUTHERN VOLCANO.
We have the pleasure of announcing to
our- readers that we are about to be favor
ed with a Volcano in the South. South
em Italy—Sicily—the Sandwich Islands
—and an hundr ed other places on our
“orb terrene, "have been favored with Vol
canoes; but hitherto, our South Land,
speaking volcanically, has languished in
neglect. Now come telegrams from
Knoxville, Tennessee, stating that rum
blings and tremblings in certain moun
tain peaks in Western North Carolina are
“the style.” Montes paktuiuent. We
trust the sequel will not complete the
Latin quotation, ridiculus bids. Indeed
we believe there are no mice in that re
gion. We need a Volcano in North Caro
lina, or “any other” Southern State. We
have experienced everything but a Vol
cano; and we beseech Dame Nature to
leave us no longer wanting in that res-
pect. We bespeak a cup of the first
overflow of lava. We fain would drink
to Volcanoes in general and to the North
Carolina Volcano in particular. We trust
the Volcano question will enter into the
next Presidential contest, and we shall
support which ever party adopts the
most Volcanic “platform.” Vive, Volca
noes ! But most of all, do we flavor an
amendment of the Constitution of Geor
gia which shall remove the North Caroli
na Volcano to Atlanta. The Volcano
would suit Atlanta, and Atlanta would
suit the Volcano. W. G. M.
It seems to be thought that the

NAPOLEON IV.
Such is the title assumed by the sou
of the late French Emperor Napoleon
in, whose residence (with his Mother ex
Empress Eugenie) is continued at Chisel-
hurst in England
Prince N&poleou IV, attained his rna
jority last week—not by reaching the
age of 21 years as with us, but by attain
ing the age of 18 years. He lias been re
ceiving visits from very many distinguisl -
ed Imperialists of France, and from
some members of royal families in Eu
rope. The Duke of Edinburgh |son ol
Queen Victoria) and his royal Duchess, a
daughter of the Czar of Russia, are
among the visitors. There is no doubt
that the accession of the young Napoleon
IV, to the throne of France would pleas<
very greatly the leading crowned head*
of Europe. The continuance of Republi
can Government in France is a standing
menace to monarchical institutions in th<
other great European Nationalities. The?
wish an Emperor on the French throne
Germany is seeking a quarrel with France
and we predict an early restoration of
the young Napoleon to the throne of his
Father, aided bv foreign aims.

The BKotber’a Last Bong.
BY B. W. PROCTER.
Sleep! The ghostly winds are blowing ;
No moon abroad,no star is glowing;
The river is deep, and the tide is flowing
To the land where you and I are going :
We are going afar,
lieyoml moon or star,
To the land where the sinless angels are.
I lost my heart to your heartless sire,
(’Twas melted away by his looks of tire,)
Forgot my God, and my father’s ire,
All forthe sake of a man’s desire;
Bat now we'll go
Where the waters flow,
And make us a bed where none shall know.
The world is cruel, the world is untrue ;
Our foes are many, our friends are few;
No work, no bread, ho wever we sue 1
What is there left for me to do,
But fly, fly
From the cruel sky,
And hide in the deepest deeps —and die!
THE SUN’S FAMILY OF PLANETS.
Prof. Richard A. Proctor in one of his
lectures on “Astronomy,” gives a descrip
tion of Jupitor, Saturn, and Mars. Mars,
he said, was situated under more favorable
conditions than Venus or Mercury. Notes
of the rotation of the planet were taken
in I860, and it was then found by the
French astronomers, by whom they were
made, tliat there were on it two spots,
one of which it was thought grow grad
ually small. Time went on, and it began
to be noticed tliat the spots remained un
changed, and that they belonged to the
surface of the planet. A comparison was
made between the planet and our earth,
and next came the question, how far we
could regard the white spots as snows.
Then came the wonderful disclosures of
the telescope, and it was discovered by
Prof. Huggins,’ of England, that there
was a vapor of water in Mars. These
white spots were recognized as polar
snows. The white malter indicated the
presence of clouds; then we knew there
must be mountains, irregularities of sur
face, rain falls, air and water currents,
wind, storm, and rain, and everything cor
responding with what we find on our
earth. This was the Brewsterian notion,
and corresponded with our ideas as form
ed from what we observe on this globe.
The surface of Mars was between a
third and fourth part of the earth, and the
volume about a seventh part, so that an
enormous number of living creatures
might exist there. The gravity was in
the ratio of six to sixteen: in other words
a pound weight on the earth would weigh
sixteen pounds on Mars. If we lived there
we should feel more active, much stronger
and much lighter; in fact all our powers
would be increased. All the objects about
us would be much lighter, and we should
be able to manipulate them much 1 tetter
than here. Mars was a smaller body than
the earth, and the moon was a smaller
body than Mars. If the gravity of our
earth were reduced to that of Mars, the
air would be immediately released, and
its density would be little more than five
fifths of what it was at present. The ap
pearance presented by the planet indiea
ted the existence of an immense amount
of cold in it. He thought it was shown
as clearly as possible that Mars was in
tended for the forms of life that we know
of. It should be remembered that we re
cognized on our earth conditions under
which life ceased. Minute animalcule
abounded, and these creatures were car
ried up by air currents. We also knew
tliat life passed away after a certain height
was reached, Coxwell and Glaisher went
up in a balloon to an immense height, and
when they had reached seven miles, Glaish
er, whose pulse had risen to 100, fainted.
Coxwell went two miles higher, when lie
found he was losing strength and was un
able to draw the valve, his only alterna
tive being to pull the strings with his
teeth. Then they descended, and their
strength returned.
The curious part of that story was that
the pulse of either of them should have
been at seventy-four or seventy-six before
they ascended. We all knew that people
lived at a great altitude. The inhabitants
of Quito were 9,000 feet above the level
of the sea, and yet we heard that they
danced the wholenight through. That fact
was enough to show that they enjoyed
good health.
The lecturer then proceeded to deal
with the giant planet, Jupiter—“the prince
of the solar system”—as he termed it, and
observed that in connection with it, as
with Mars, a verification was afforded of
the truth of Goethe’s remark, that “in
her monstrosities nature reveals her se
crets.” Jupiter, he said, was instinct
with its inherent fires. Ordinarily it had
a light green colored zone, like Saturn,
but sometimes it presented a ruddy light.
The light which it received from its sat
ellites was only a sixteenth part of what
we get from a full moon. With regard
to tiie theory that the planets are inhab
ited, it seemed to him that an intermedi
ate theory was the more likely, and that
was that only a small proportion of the
planets were inhabited. Although one
dismissed as unlikely the conclusion that
any planet was inhabited, yet one must
reach another one, namely, that there
were millions of inhabited worlds.
God ot granite and the rose.
Soul of the sparrow and the bee,
The mighty tide ot being flows,
Through countless channels. Lord, to Thee,
It leaps the life in grass and flowers,
Through every grade of being ruus,
Its glory shiues from prison lowers,
And comes to us from stars and suns,
Brownlow.—A Washington letter speaks
pitifully of Parson Brownlow, of Tennes
see. He is taken to his seat in the Sen
ate at twelve, and carried back to liis sol
itary house at five. There is no color in
the tall, pale, dark haired man except in
his eyes, which grow restless when any
thing in the debate excites him. He
never speaks nor moves, nor smiles, nor
calls a page, nor talks to a neighbor. He
is afflicted with a terrible palsy, which
moires him quiver and tremble continual
ly, but the old man means to die with his'
harness on, and sits there by the door on
the left of the President’s seat, biding his
time.
An honest deacon in a Connecticut
parish was sorely troubled about the
Copemioan system of the universe. He
behoved it to be unscriptural and untrue,
and he carried his doubts to his minister.
The latter being in his own eyes a scien
tific man, and also a believer in Coperni
cus, said the sun was a stationary body,
not revolving, as the deacon maintained,
around the earth. But 4he latter pointed
with an air of triumph to the story of
Joshua when he commanded the “sun to
stand still.” “Very well,” said the min
ister, “show me, if you can, the passage
of Scripture whore .it said Joshua ever
wnniwM the mute were again-”
The Xuealyptus Tree.
As a contribution to the question as to
whether or not the Eucalyptus tree will
grow in our Southern climate, we give
the result of planting a grove iu Califor
nia. The tree also grows in the South
of England, in tlie open air. Those in
California are at Oakland, and are thus
described in the Transcript:
Two miles north of Haywards are two
remarkable groves of Eucalyptus, or Aus
tralian gum trees. They belong to J. T.
Stratton, the present Surveyor General,
who resides in Oakland. One grove con
tains about sixty acres, the other ninety,
the whole comprising about 130,000 trees,
big and little. The trees are only foui
years old, yet many of them are from
forty *o fifty feet high, and a foot in di
ameter, and are planted in regular rows
like an orchard, but closer together; in
fact, the rows are too close for the gener
il thrift, and the proprietor is about to
’lit away every other tree, which will
tfford firewood enough to pay for all ex
penditure heretofore. When Gen. Strut
son was setting out the trees the neigh
ooring fanners laughed at him, and ad
vised him to desist and attend to his sur
veying as he would be dead long before
the timber would amount to anything,
but the laugh is now on the other side;
five years hence the available timber will
be immensely valuable for manufacturing
and for firewood. There are a great
many species of the Eucalyptus, many of
which are adapted to this climate. The
tree grows to great size and height, and
when seasoned is extremely hard, solid
and resembles hickory. It is well adapted
for wagons and carnage making, and as
firewood it creates a heat almost equal to
coal, and deposits a cinder which will
keep hot for a long time. No doubt
General Stratton’s foresight in planting
these extensive and beautiful groves will
produce not only cords of wood but
cords of money; for if cut down and
sold now, at the age of only four years,
the young forests would bring many
thousands of dollars Moreover, the
successful experiment will be of vast im
portance to the people living in poorly
timbered districts, as it has demonstra
ted that an abundance of valuable wood
can be produced from the seed within
five years, while a period of nine or ten
years will produce timber logs more than
two feet in diameter.
In his last lecture on the Old Testa
ment history. Dr. Stuart Robinson, in
describing the ancient practice of em>
balming the dead, stated that, “thus em
balmed and encased the remains were
placed upright in the dwelling of the
family, and it was not uncommon to keep
the corpse thus standing in the parlor or
| dining hall of the family dwelling for
j many years. These mummies were higli-
i ly valued as heirlooms of the family, and
j even sometimes pawned for loans of
money." Think, says the Courier-Jours
nal, of a frugal and bustling young house
wife nowadays crying out over the ban
ister, “Bridget, dust off grandpa, and
make him look nice; husband has gone
down to negotiate a loan on him.”

THE GREAT REMEDY FOR
CONSUMPTION
which can be cured by a
timely resort to this stand
ard preparation, as has been
proved by the hundreds of
testimonials received by the
proprietors. It is acknowl
edged by many prominent
physicians to be the most
reliable preparation ever in
troduced for.the relief and
cure of all Lung complaints,
and is offered to the public,
sanctioned by the experience
of over forty years. When
resorted to in season it sel
dom fails to effect a speedy
cure in the most severe
cases of Coughs, Bronchitis,
Croup, Whooping Cough,
Influenza, Asthma, Colds,
Sore Throat, Pains or Sore
ness in the Chest and Side,
Liver Complaint, Bleeding
at the Lungs, &c. Wistar’s
Balsam does not dry up a
Cough, and leave the cause
behind, as is the case with
most preparations, but it
loosens and cleanses the
lungs, and allays irritation,
thus removing the cause of
the complaint.
