Tho tido was forced up an unprecedented height, inundat ing the entire river front of the city, damag ing the wharvos, and in sowioinstancos sweep ing away pto’r heads. The long stone sea wall known as the lic.ory. a famous promenado resort, was laid in ruins, and the public bath ing Loub*' Was ‘demolished. The shipping generally escaped scrionH damage. Through out the city fences and ontbuildings wgro des troyed, branches torn from tho trees, and dur ing the height pt tho storm, the air wtH filled with slates and tin stripped from tho roofs, making tho streets impassable. Tho massivo brick walls of tho new theater, winch had just been completed, with the exception of putting on the roof, were ioveled with the street.

Tho re port of tho explosion was heard at & distance f twenty miles from tho place whoro it oo- urrod. Tho details of tho occtirronco show that its disastrous effects were widespread, ly treos were uprooted, and housoa, located milos distant from tho canal, woro shat tered. Hovnn persona aro rnisniug. Thorn was a porfoct panic for hours, and it was not tho cause of Iho terrible report was learned that tho foars of tho pooplo wero al layed. Heveral persona diod from fright. Tho Loudon Times in]aleadingartiolo contradicts tho statement rooently current that tho quoen has paid tho dobtn of thoprince f Wales. At tho present tint's, Baya tho wri er. debts of the prinos umotlnt to a littlo loro than one-third of his annual income and include scarcely any bills duo longer than a year. Tho princo's balance at his hankers to day will more than suifioo to moot ovory claim. It is true that the prince ia unable to live with- liicomo, but the excess is provided from n fund which is his private property. Tho fund which -accumulated during tho princo's minority from tho revenues of tho duchy of Cornwall, is still sufficient to moot tho yearly deficit iu his expenses, though tho time may L-arno when this resource will bo exhausted.

In reply to a letter asking information, O. H. Kelley, secretary of the national grange, says tho granger mortgage bank, lately adver tised in New York, is not endorsed by the na tional gran go, nor is it recognized by the ox- ocutive committee in any shape whatever. Reports received* at the agricultural department show that tho wheat crop will av erage that of last year. Nono of tlio largo oorn producing states reach an average. Tbore will ho a fair crop of oats, potatoes and hay, but loss than half a crop of tobacco.

Tho national bank resumption Agency has catlod upon tho national banks, within tho last six days, for about $4,350,000 iu legal I dor notes, to reimburse it for their notos deemed. Other calls will follow at the rate of about $750,000 per day, until hufflciont legal tenders shall have boon received to Justify tho resumption of redemption. Tho dato of resumption will depond somewhat upon tho promptness with which tlio hanks respond to tho call. At a meeting of tho depositors of tlio Freedman's hank, laatSrook, Robert Pit colored, ono of tlio commissioners appointed to wind up its affairs, said lio would at an joumod mooting maku a statement of its af fairs which would not probably bo as favorable as that lilthorto published, nor would il ho bad as roproseutsd by those who in conuoction with it Had taken advantage of tho fears and necessities of depositors, who havo Bold their deposits at a heavy discount. A Washing ton dispatch says it is re ported tha ttho Porto Iiioqannexation story has truly drawn the fire of Unrein and tho United Btates, and was in reality only a part of a echomo of Bismarck to oonvulso Europe. Russia, being fully udvised of Uio intention of Bismarck to acquire a foothold iu America, and with assurances that wo will not permit the tianrifor of ooloulal possessions In Amer ica from ono Europoan iinticu to nnotlior, is prepared to form an allianco with tho United Htatcs, iu Uio nvont that Germany determines to force her aspirations. Tho comptroller of currency having recently ascertained through tho reports of tho oxaintliora of national banks, that certain national hanks aro Iu the habit of drawing drafts on their correspondents iu Now York, at wixty or ninety days date, acceptance waived, have advised those institutions that such is sues are in violation of sootiou 23 of Iho na tional hank act, which prohibits thn issue of post notos. Hitch transactions subjects a na tional hank to forfeiture of charter under section 53 of thn national hank act, and It is tho intention of tho comptroller to commence proceedings, If necessary, to piovout such practice. Othor national banks uio iu tho habit of furnishing their depositors with checks drawn one day aftor (late, instead of on doratnd, for thn purpose of availing tho in ternal rovnnno law requiring a two cent stump to ho alfiind to such chocks. Tlio comptroller will auk for an amendment to tho act which will prevent such abuses. Attorney General Williams lnut aonfc tho following circular to Unltod Htatos mar shals in tho southern statos: " Sir—I would ntiggo-t that at thoso points whoro United States troops are or may bo stationed iu your district, sonio prodont and fearless person, in whoso Judgment you havo coiifidonco and whom tlio pooplo rdspoot, may ho appointed an deputy marshal, to act at onco in tho arrest of parties committing outrages, in that vicinity, so that it may not bo noooMsary' fix* such cation to Bend for you before tho troops can bo used for tho purpose of arresting those who aro guilty of violating tho laws of tho Unltod Htatos.

Ho urged that the local associations should become auxiliary mcmboiu of the na tional board of steam navigation, in or der to bund tho entire steamboat inter ests of the country together for their protection. Wo havo faiiod on tho MjoHiraipni to givo river matters tho at tention which their importance demands, and wo nro in oonucquenco rooting un der a cloud. Tho prime object of this convention, in piy idea, is tho harmon izing of conflicting interests; also, tho question of railroad competition. At the fltart, the railroads desired no co operation with rivor transportation. Being unHucconsful, their matiAgors aro now in a condition to treat. Another matter of importance in tho improvement of our rivers, and every effort should be put forward in this di rection. Wo are also interested in tho improvement of tho month of tho Mis sissippi, and this convention should set- tin upon some plan to nrgo upon con- cress whatever may bo dono at tho ear liest possible mofiWinL.. After some other preliminary business the committee ort' ? permanent' organiza tion reported B. H. Woolfolk, of Louis ville, for permanent president and J. Shields, secretary. Tho convention then adjourned. The Bethlehem (Pa.) Progress says : “Mrs. Carrol and Mrs. Ford, twin sis ters, living in South Bethlehem, each gave birth to twins on Saturday night. The attending physician says these cousins aro almost of- an age—within an hour. These sisters wero married on tho samo day, thoir first children wero born in the same month, their second in tho same week, and their third in tho samo hour.’^ Prop.

What a vast difference between nnitn- plo country village aud the crowded citya difference uot only iu tbo struoturo of buildings and the width of streets, but in the mutmers aud eiiutouiB and oven in the thoughts aud feeliugs of its inhabitants. Wo do not pretend to jtidgo whoro tha greatest degree of happiness may be found. Perhaps not iu ou^ more than in another, for happiness Is not eon- •fined to place, and is loss depeudont upon external than upon internal it elation. But. it would sometimes seem it thoro wero more of sympathy with the fellow beings around him, in the unpre tending villager, than iu ilia busy citi zen. True, thiH benevolent interest iu tho concerns of others umy.At times bo- oomo annoying by its prying inqtiisi- tivonosH, but tho heart craves sympathy, and even this is proferablo to tho fash ionable indifforouoo and total ignoranoe of neighbor and neighbor. What a sensation is oaiiBOjd by a birth or a death, a wedding or a funeral in the littlo world of a oouutry village. All acorn to pnrtiolpnto iu tlio joy or the sorrow. To find a person ignorant of tho event, won Id be it source of oxoood- ing surprise aud wondor. Nows spreads like wildfire. Tlio very birds of the air soem to carry tidings. Ham Brown, an intelligent, nolivo little fellow, well known.in tho village „f 1? , has boon seen to run at full speed from iho machine shop to the doctor’* <»ni°e; apparently not finding that worthy at his post, darts across lire way to a house where some new fangled pruotitionor had lately lntug out his sign, and, in a moment, with tho last mentioned pursontiao at ljq* side, lakes his way to tho ahojr again. Thin in enough. Every one iu that part of tho village knows that some sad nod- doufc has happened, and curiosity and sympathizing interest wo expressed on every count oil an oo. Good Mrs. Walton, as sho peopH from her door, in “ thank fill to provi dence that nono of her folks work at tho shop,” and “Itopos to goodnOHB” that not the engineer, “poor Mr. Whit- ” bfdauso no has such a largo fam ily dependent upon him. Anxions wives and mothers, who nro lo's fortunate than Mrs. Walton, and havo husbands and sons exposed to tin* danger, whatever itmaybo, nro seen hast ily approaching in different directions, wishing to put an end to suspense, and know tho worst at onco. All is soon told. In spito of Mrs. Walton’s hopes it is indeed poor Mr. Whitman who bus mot with tho acci dent, and a serious Olio it is likely to prove, for Iris right arm has been or tan glod in the maohiucry und is shookingly mangled. What sympathy and sorrow is felt by all, when tho unfortunate man is uar- riod nearly incensiblo from tho shop to his own homo, which fortunately is by. Thoro is no lack of assistance. Men, women und oliildron stand ready. Every ono is desirous to do something. But there is ono source of almost nni- rsal regret. Good old Dr. Pembroke, v..o oxpurionood physician who for a Jong series of years lias boon tho only ono to look torn an emergency of this kind, being, in fuot, tho only medical man in the village and of course re garded ns an oruclo, has, ns it woro, lxeen defrauded of his proper rights by thin young Dr. Lansing, a now comor, whom nobody knows, and who for gome unheard of roason (for surely ho was not wanted in a pluoa whoro Dr. Pom- broko had ruled supremo for nearly liulf a century) has lately established himself the pioasant littlo village, of F , Tho young marr certainly had nnioh to contend with, for, with tlxo exception of a fow enlightened minds who had a glimmering perception that tho soionoo of medicine might in the lapse of years havo left tho old doctor in tho rear, he ns universally regarded as a very nn- .‘oossary interloper. And now to think of his having tho charge of poor Mr. Whitman. Htiroly if he was ar.y gontloman ho would not lake advantage of thofamily physician’s having been absent at tho time of tho accident, but would politely resign tho oasc into his hands. This was tho opinion of tho good wives of tho village, und publicly and privately was it expressed, Dr. Lansing might have heard it, at any rato ho must havo felt it, but it ap- posrod to mako littlo difference in his proceedings. Ho was unremitting in his attentions to tho injured man, and bo established himself in tlio good graces of him and his wife, that they wore quite deaf to the remonstrances of their benevolent neighbors who earnest ly desired that they should dismiss him At once. “ The arm is certainly doing better than wo could havo expected; why then should wo dismiss tlio doctor ?” asked tho sufferer, as a deputation of the village worthies appeared at his bedside), and again began thoir romon- h trances. “ Why, you see, neighbor, tho case is this,” commenced Philip Benton, who was to bo ohiof spokesman on tho occa sion. (Philip Benton had received some early advantages of education and was regarded as having a “ power of learn ing.’) “ You aro a poor man, and, having met with a sovoroAnooitlent, en dangering life and limb, or I may justly say, injuring limb if not lifo, your neighbors holding you in high ostium- lion, nro willing to loud you a helping hand, for which purpose n subscription was not on foot, and quite a sum raised for your reliof. Now this mouov wo of course wish to ho expended for tho houellt of yoursolf and your family, hut wo do not fool willing Mint a largo por tion of it should bo paid to this smart young doctor.” “Now if it woro good Dr. Pombroko, the case would bo differ out.” ohimod iu Isnao Dobbs, tho miller; '* wo should not mind paying him a moderate bill, and iudoed he would havo olmrgod you littlo or nothing, and ovorythiug would have beou properly attended to. I lmvo 't from hi* own lips. He fools greatly for you, neighbor Whitman, and rogrotH I hat you woro thrown into Ignorant bunds. In his opinion tho limb should have boon amputated at onoo.” “Thank God that Dr. Lansing dif fered from him,” oxolaimod tho sick mau, with nn energy which startled them. Thun speaking more oalmly, ho ndded: “lam very grateful for your kind- noHR, neighbors, aud with my large family, there is iudood need of assist ance. As to turning off tlio young doctor, I cannot see my way clear to do it, beoauso ho 1ms dono and is doing well with mo. Ill all probability ho will save my arm aud roatoro its use, whon, ns you yourself admit, Dr. Pombroko would have taken it oil at onoo. Surely it is bettor to havo two nriuB than ono/’ Thoro was a foroo in this nrgnmont which nono oould gainsay, hut aftor a short pausb, Philip Benton ropliod : “This may bo all vory well, uoigh bor. 1 do not wish to say anything against the young man’s skill, but it dooit not look woll to soo him trying to run you up such a groat bill. Why, I have oouutod throo and fonr timos a day Hint he has entorod your door. I understand he eharges high—a dollar a visit, or something like that. Such im position! just for looking at a man. Now you can easily see that it would bo trying to tho feelings of your friends to think that they wore raising money to nay this stranger. I am ompoworod by Dr. Pembroke to say that H Dr. Lansing will give up tho uitse, ho will nttemi you gratis, aud if you dosiro, I will call upon tho young dootor and state this iu a polito way. No doubt ho will consent to the arraugenlent at onco.” Very reluotantly, Mr. Whitman agrood to this proposal. ‘ It was really strange how ho clung to tho young dootor, and how much ho folt that ho should miss his kindly words and smihs, aud his gontlo touch aud light tread—bo diffur- ont from tho bustling sway of portly Dr. Pombroko. But there was no help for it. Ho might bo dependent for a long tirao, and it wan unt for ljiw t» dictate how his neighbors should bofrlena Dim. Ho with his host coat and his most dignified manner, Philip Bouton, or ’(Squire Benton, as ho was commonly styled, waited upon Dr. Lansing, and politely Hinted his orrand ; but, to his unutterable surpriso, tho request was as politely deoliuod. Dr. Lansing “regretted that bo oould not oblige Mr. Bouton and tho friends whom he roprosoniod, but tho oaso htul progressed so puoceSBfully under his oh nrgo that he oould not conscientious ly relinquish it to nnotlior.” Preposterous I And to sponk of con science in tho mattnr, when it was per fectly evident that it was a more avari cious desire to gut all ho oould from tho poor man. It was tho talk of tlr whole village. Tho minister from tho pulpit donouncod in vory strong terms thoso who defraud ed tho poor. Tho old dootor gave a more oxprossivo shrug than usual whon his young rival was mentioned. Dobbs, the mil lor, gave thn bugs of grain an extra shake, and tho worthy blacksmith wiehlod his hammer with uniisunLon orgy, as tlioy thought' of Dr. Lansing, wliilo tho old wivos raised thoir hands aud eyes with indignation whon tlioy i-.nw him pass thoir door, and the young maidens avoided returning his cour teous salutation, although tlioy indulgod in a sly peep at his handsome form and fashionably out ooat, and sighed as tlioy thought of the popular Dr. Pombroko. Btill everything wont on swimmingly ... neighbor Whitman’s. Tho young dootor continued his visits, and tho pa tient was making rapid progress toward health. It would bo long, however, boforo his arm would regain its strength, and foam for tho future would some times arise*. Iu spito of tho subscription which had boon raisod for him thoro woro still many wants misapplied, and nothing more oould bo expected from tho neighbors, for they “had no notion of raising money to pay that spruce young doctor.” In fact they wore somewhat indignant thnt noighbor Whitman did not insist upon his dis- misBul. At length, however, whon tlio olnl- dren woro actually seen barefooted as Iho cold weather came on, and it was observed that tho wood-shod was still unfilled, and a rumor was abroad that tlio cow was to bo sold, charitable feol- ings wore again called forth, and a spe cial meeting was appointed at tho vos- try to seo what could bo dono. 'The room was filled. Faots woro stated, and expressions of opinion wero desired. Tho great question was how to assist thoir neighbor without placing it in his power to p^y tho doctor’s bill. This all agreed was not to bo thought of. Tho young man, os everybody know, was well off, and by no means dependent upon his profession; and even if he wore, it was but just that ho shoal 1 be a loser in this ease, for had he not declined to resign the case to Dr. Pembroke, who had offered his services gratis? Ho aftor much consultation it was deoided that a oommitteo should bo appointed to receivo subscriptions, and expend tho money in any way which they might judge to bo for tbo benefit of tho family. Fifty dollars wero raised on tho spot, and tho worthy villagers went to their own homes woll satisfied with tho result of tho meeting. The oommitteo woro mon of business, and two or three days passed boforo they were at leisure to attend to the duty which had dovolved upon them. But at length they fixed upon an even ing, and agreed to meet at neighbor Whitmuu’saud ascertain from him what was most needed. They'found him comfortably seated iu his armchair, with the vouugost of his oliidren olimbing on his kuoo. Ho gavo his neighbors a cordial woloomo, aud appoaroa so ohoorfnl and contented that they hardly know how to speak of tho orrand upon wliioh thov antno. At length after a iow preliminary efforts, Rtioh oa clearing tho throat, polo ing tho fire, oto., Hquiro Bouton, who was as uhurI foreman on tho oommittoo, remarked that ho was glad to soe neigh bor Whitman so smart onco more, and supposed lie would noon bo At work again. “Vory soon, I hopo,” was tho reply. “ I mu out of tho dootor’s hands at last.

Noighbor Whitman smiled withu vory .moaning look as ho quietly ropliod, “ Ho did, indeed J* “ I know ho would. I always said as muoh,”oried Hquiro Bouton, almost, ox- ultiugly. “ A mean piooo of business it was, and what no gontloman would lmvo boon guilty of. Exouso mo, Mr. Whitman, but if I had boon in your place I would havo sent him marching quick enough.” “ I might havo boon a loser, squire.” “Not in my opinion. Dr. Pombroko would havo done bottor for you than that young upstart. But as to hifl bill. Plain spooking is best, neighbor. At a vostry mooting th > othor ovoning, wo raisod fifty dollars for your benefit, aud wo are prepared to oxtund it for you iu any way you soo fit, alwayu excoptiug paying tho dootor’s bill. That wo must absolutely dooliuo having any tliingto.do with.” “It is not dosirable that yon should,” ropliod noighbor Whitman, again smil ing. “Soriously, gentlemen, .1 am ex ceedingly grateful for tho kindness which has boon ahown mo, but I would uot williugly take what might perhaps bo bottor bostowod upon thoso more uoody than mysolf. I havo just rooeivod a littlo gift which will ouablo mo to pur chase what comforts aro really dooohbu- ry until I can go to work.” “ Iudood I” was tho somewhat disap pointed reply of tho astonished aud itors. “You aro fortunate, oortainly; but your dootor’s bill, how will you sot- tlo that ?” “ O, tho gift disposes of that for mo. Road this note gontlomou, and you will understand tho whole affair.” As ho spoko ho liaudod them a noatly foldod envelope, containing tho fol lowing noto: My DkauBins—I am happy to nay that it will no longor !>■ nocomiary for mo to visit yon iih a modical odvlHor.

Tho “ dootor’s bill” had turned out so difforontly from what they oxpootod that they were quite dumb with ostouishmont. At length, however, Squire Benton stammered out that ho was quite sure tho neighbors wonld insist upon Mr. Whitman’s keeping what had boon con tributed to him, and thoro would bo ways enough to spond it in his largo family. As to tho dootor, ho was free to say that ho had been mistaken in him. and for ono ho would boar witnoss that ho had bohavod handsomely, as Uooamo a gontloman.

At headquarters, at Nashville, Tonn., March 16th, 1813, PlIYHIUAfj TRAINING. Kiorrls* mid • lMnlu Diet Heller Then Pills. Tho Chtoiigo Tribune, publishing a reporter's interview with a prize-fighter, autl his description of tho proooss of K oal training required for those 1 contests—tlio sweating, tho rub bing, tho dioting, tho laborious gymnas tics-points a moral, ns follows : Leaving out tho motive whioh induces tho bruiser to submit to this sort of physical discomfort, thoro is a result nouiovod whioh is worth somo consider ation. The bruiser poos to tho trninor as an old hat is sont to tho hnttor, or an old onrpot in sont to tho renovator. Nino times out of ten ho is out of oondition, enervated by dissipation, bloated with whisky and a gouoral physical wrook. By tho time, however, that ho gots through with his trainer ho oomes out a now man. Ho Ioboh all his superfluous flesh. His muscles aro firm and hard. His digestion is porfeot. His lungs nro as tough tut a blacksmith's hollows. His nerves are iron cords. His bleared oyes are brightouod. His wliolo frumo is supple, sprightly and olastio. Ho is tho perfoot nioturo of physical hoalth, strength ana boauty. Now this result is what two-thirds of maukiud nro soekiug. Dootors of all Bohools have this purpose in view, nnmo- ly, tho repairing and renovating of worn aud dilapidated human bodies. Drug stores are multiplying rapidly. Mineral springs, blood purifiers and ourativo pills nro advertised everywhere. Crowds of pooplo flock to tlio watoring-plaoos ovory summer and othor crowds Hook to Europo, with tho ono object in view to repair tho ruins of tirno and reokloBH liv ing or ovor work ing. And yofc, iu ninety- nine oases out of one hundred all thoso means fail. But koro is a bruiser who, without drugs or dootors, without min- oral springs or travol, transforms his whole physical man in nn incredibly short spnao of timo. Thn proooss never fails. Tho truiuor of prizo-flghters knows more than tho dootors. His pa tient oats mutton and beef without seas oning of nnysort, tea without sugar and dry toast. Ho mukos him got up early in tho moruii g aud £0 to bod early ut night. Ho gives him plenty of exor- oiso. Ho uflQH nothing but nature’s modioinos and linos thorn with unorring noournoy. If tho brtiisor has a weak spot, ho strong* hons it. Ho goes over hiB man ns u tuner goon ovor a piano and brings ovory note into porfeot tune. If ho 1ms not ilosh enough ho puts more on him. If lio has too much ho takes somo off, and ho performs this operation with suoh neon racy that ho will tako off tho samo amount ovory duy, and upon tho day of the fight will present his man weighing within nn ounoo of a specified number of pounds. Now what is good for a bruiser is good for thoso who nro not brnisors, if tlioy havo tho oourago and persistence to follow tho regitnen, whioh, of oourse, can bo regulated to suit onoll onnn. Hon* in a olinuoo for tho ovorworked to bo made good ns now nt u vory olieap rato. Tho olergymon need no more go to Europo aftor their hoalth. Fat mon nood no longer to bo fat. Loan men havo somo hopo of oovering their ribs more comfortably. Tlioy have only to pitch physio to tlio dogs and tako tlio bruisorB’ remedies, modified to suit their Ireland as Hlio Is. Tho population of Ireland decreased by 1,002,810 porsons botwoon tho years 1841-51, by 775,814 in the next decade, aud by 800,208 botwoon tho yoars 1801- 71. There is reason to boliove thnt this decrease by the end of tho present do- oado will liavo wholly oeasod, that is, that tho emigration will not exceed tho natural inoroaso of population. Tho oondition of tiio oountry is now really prosperous. Wugos havo greatly ad- vanned in oonsequonoo oj tho limited supply of labor* th. Tho reform of tho land law has hud a most excellent of- feot, und not nnfrequeutly Irishmen re turn from America with fortunes gained thoro to take up thoir abodo in thoir nativo land. Tho aggregate, invoat- mouts in government stocks, joint stock banks, and savingH bunks in 1804 woro £54,888,000 ; but on tho 80th of June, 1808,.they wore £07,302,000, an increase of 28 por cent, in ton yours. Tho value of live atook in 1804 was £80,728,910 ; in 1874 it wns £37.225,887. It is to bo remarked thnt although in thirty years Ireland has lost about 8,000,000 of her pooplo, tbo relative proportion of Cath olics and Protestants remain almost un changed. In Munster, in 1801, 938 out of every 1,000 wore Catholics ; tho pre- S ortion now is 980 to oaoli 1,000. In !orry tho Catholics Id 1801 woro 907 in each 1,000 ; thoy now are 908 in each 1,000. In “ Protestant” Ulster—whioh is Protestant only in namo—there woro 751 Oatholics in oaoli 1,000 in 1801, and now thoro aro 755 to oaoli 1,000. Tho old faith does not die out, despite tho fact that tho emigrants are for tho most part Catholics.—Dublin Letter, Hp*r*luiil2sm and H<£ence. Speaking of tho opinions on Spiritu alism recently advanced by Mr. A. R. Wallace, tho Churchman says : Hither to Christian men have not been in clined to say much on the subjeot, hard ly believing that any large number of intelligent persons oonld be deluded by it. But it is becoming apparent that soiontifto infldolity has no dofonso agninst it. Men eminent as students of physical phenomena, but disbelievers in God and Immortality, arc very.likely to bo taken ia the Hnaro. Beginning with the denial of the supernatural, thoy are confronted with phenomena thoy cannot explain, and readily pass from an oxtrome of unbelief to an ex- treme of credulity. Tho instinots of men are stronger than their philosophy, and they who find no Goa in nature, and traoo their origin to the boasts, oau- not quench their longings for immortal ity. They must have some sort of a heaven, and the revelations of spirits, poor as they aro, give somo comfort to their desolate souls. Wo look, there fore, to see spiritism tbrivo os infidelity inorea*es, und now that some eminent scientists havo avowed. their faith, wo may expect that there will be ero long many accessions to their ranks.
