THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE HORSE.HORSB.
In the use of that most useful of all do-
I mestic animals, the boree, it has become
apparent that man has not developed the
highest possibilities of the beast, but
still fetttri his progrew. The advances
in scientific reEearch, the more general dif
fusion of knowledge) regarding the anat
omy and physical demands of the horse,
and the enlarged view taken in this age of
the claims of domestic animals upon our
sympathies, and fov humaoe treatment,
have aH teaded to better the condition of
this animal in servitude, and to render him
still more useful to his master. Our atten
tion his for some time been directed to the
current of debate in the press of the coun
try upon the question of bearing
reins, checks, collars, and especi
ally horseshoeing. As to bearing
reins and over-checks, those advocating
their total abolition are steadily gaining
ground, and they are so obviously correct
in their view», that it is fair to assume
these torturing devices will in time give
way before th« humane protests now being
made against them. -There is reason to be
lieve, also, that the century will witness,
before its close, a great improvement in the
adjustment of harness, and that presently
our horses will be driven with still less of
harness encumbrance, the animal by im
proved taining systems being brought to
such a tractable state, that the minimum
of harness-restraint may be adopted, A
few days ago we published from a reputa
ble and scientific journal a strong argu
ment against the shoeing of horses, where
in it was held that " the state of na
ture " is sufficient for all demands
that should be made upon the
strength and endurance of the horse. Bat
it is not clear that the foot of the beast in
the state of nature would be equal to even
ordinary demands, in his use upon the arti
ficial pavements oi our streets and road
ways ; in fact, it may be taken as settled,
that horses will continue to be shod. But
we ars not indulging in vain speculations
in expressing the belief that the
time may come when a perfect substitute
for the present shoe will be found. It ia
now hardly to be questioned that the iron
shoe lessens tho capability of the horse,
retards the growth of the hoof, and by its
unyielding nature seriously incommodes
and injures the animal. It may take
many years to overcome the bias now ex
isting in favor of the iron shoe, but that
it will find its place among the discarded
things, in due time, is no idle proph
ecy. In the meantime much attention
is being given to the subject of horseshoe
ing, and this Lin itself is indicative of the
evolution of the true method of protecting
the hoof which we have prcdisted. A
recent article in this paper on this
subject, brings out a communication
j from a practical horseshoer, and
j which is presented in another column.
This man, who served under the direction
of the skilled veterinary surgeons of the
English army, frankly admits by the
whole tenor of his letter that the iron
I choc is an infliction, and the very fact that
he points out errors in tho present system
of applying the shoe, and suggests reme
! dies, is evidence of the possibility of a
' time when the iron shoe will be abolished.
j The Bubject is not a trite one; it may
: worthily engage continued thoughtful at
tention. The men of the age are too wise
to follow in the conventional groove in the
treatment of the horse, when other and
better paths may be opened. The time
1 mint come when the merciless bit, the
1 overcheck, the contracted and nonexpand
; ing shoe, the trimming away and the
Inming of the hoof, and like evils shall
pa»s away, and as a result give us horses
fleeter, more enduring, more gentle, surer
lof foot, stronger of joint and mucle,
■ longer lived, and in every way more useful
I to man.
DEATHS BY ELECTRICITY.
Two men have just been killed at Paris
by accidentally taking hold of the wires of
eleotric lights. The presumption is that
j the lights were being furnished by the
! Gramme or Brush machines, which work
\at high tension. The Edison machines
i have this advantage over the onts named,
that they work at a low tension. They
proceed ou the principle of the least resist
-1 ance to the current, and their current does
not work higher than from 100 to 150
volts, whereas those of Brush and Gramme
go «s high as from 700 to MX) volts. One
effect of t!:is difference is that while the
full current from an Edison machine could
be put through a man's body without giv
j ing him more than a brisk shock, the current
of the P.rusli and Gramme machines would
kill him instantly. And this is a reason
why the Edison machines are likely to be
1 employed eventnally for house lighting, as
I against any other machines now in u«e j
j for it is clear that it will not be safe to let
! machines whose unguarded wires arc \
i laden with death, be introduced as gener
; ally as must be the case where the illumi
nation 01 a city has to be done. It is equally
evident that the danger which attends the
Gramme and Brush machines because of
their high tension will have to be ob
; viated in some way if they are to be at all
! generally employed.
AN OPORTUNITY FOR THE GALLOWS.
Two tools in Texas went out to fight a
duel. They missed one another, but one
of them shot and killed a boy who was
near the scene. If this had occurred in
some States of the Union there would have
been a chance for the duo hanging of the
mnrderor. In Texas, of course, there is
no probability that any official notice will
:be taken of the affair. And yet it is a pity
i that even in Texas it should not be pos
] sible to bring in tho gallows as an argu
ment against the ineffably silly and illogi
cal practice of dueling. A man considers
himself offended. His honor is wounded, i
I And for that reason he insists on giving
the person who has thus injured him an
opportunity of killing him. There is
really more sense in assassination than in
dueling, for then the person who thinks
himself injured takes paios to secure re
venge without exposing himielf. But
dueling will continue to be npheld by fools
probably for a long time to come. Per
haps until Society agrees to ridicule in
: stead of applauding the murderous imbe
-1 ciles who take that method of demonstrat- i
j ing their inability to think in a straight
I line,
THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS
All attacks upoc the President in con
nection with his veto of the river and har
i hot bill arc unjust. The truth ie that he
was entirely justified in tbe position he
t -H.k on that measure, and that it is base
to assume that he acted from demagogical
motives. He certainly couid not have
foreseen that Congress would pass the bill
over his veto, for no such enormous appro
priation ha* ever been proposed before,
and therefore the rational presumption
would have been that if it was vetoed
Congress would hesitate to enact it. The [
relative positions of the President and Con
gress are, however, attributable, as we
have already shown, to the existing politi
cal system. Congress, in voting through
I the river and harbor bill, haa only given j
an exaggerated illustration of the effects j
jof local greed all over the country. It is
' the people who are responsible for thn ex
! travagance. Every member of Congress
i hol.is his seat on condition of submission '
to the demands of his district for local |
; improvements, and every district always !
1 takes everything it can get in the way of
appropriation*, and generally grumbles be
cause it cannot obtain more. Considering
tho faots, it is utterly unreasonable to at
tack Congress for wtravagance on this
j head, but it is equally improper to charge
I the President with ignoble motives. He
is independent, and can afford to do what
[he thinks right. ' Congress is not inde-
pendent. Th»t is the explanation of the
whole matter. -i
CHOLERA.
T*9 announcement of a death caused
by Aaiatic cholera in the State cf Illinois,
yesterday, should occasion no alarm. It
is more than probable that the case was
not one of genuine Asiatic cholera. It is
not the order of that disease to manifest
itself suddenly at euch a remote point,
and to find but one victim. This coast is
in far greater danger from Asiatic cholera
than are the people of Illinois. Chotera
is epidemic at Vokohani, and with that
port we ire in close communication by
steam and sailing vessels.
JEFFERSON AND SUNDAY.
What the Father of Democracy Believed—
Physical Pen and s for a ray cf Rrst.
En*. RtfORD-UxiON : In an open letter
addressed to General Stoneman by William
Alexander, published in your issue of July
■J'.';li, reference is made to the opinions of
Jefferson and Jackson, the two great lights
of tho Democratic party, relative to the
Sunday question. And as Democrats pro
fess such a desire to be guided by the real
sentiments of that revered statesman,
Thomas Jefferson, I wish to call their atten
tion to his expressed views in an interview
with Daniel Webster, I quote from a let
ter written by Daniel Webster to Pro
fessor Pease, of New York city, dated
June 15, 185*2, and published in the Bos
ton Travelltr of June 11, 1869. In this
letter Mr. Webster said :
" Many years ago I spent a Sabbath with
Thomas JefiferEon at his residence in Vir
ginia. It was in the month of June, and
the weather was delightful. While en
gaged in discussing the beauties of the
Bible, the sound cf a bell broke upon our
ears, when turning to the Sage of Monti
cello I remarked : ' How sweetly, how
very sweetly, sounds that Sabbath bell.'
The distinguished statesman for a moment
seemed lost in thought, and then replied :
' Yes, my dear Webster. Yes, it melts
the heart, it calms our passions, and makes
us boys again.' Here I observed that man
was only an animal formed for religious
worship, and that notwithstanding all the
sophistry of Epicurus, Lucretius and Vol
taire, the Scriptures stood upon a rock as
firm, as unmovable as truth itself ; that
man in hia purer, loftier breathings turned
the mental eyes toward immortality, and
that the poet only echoed the general Benti
ment of our nature in saying that 'the
soul secure in her existence, smiles at the
drawn dagger, and defies its point. ' Mr.
Jefferson fully concurred in this opinion,
and observed that the tendency of the
American mind was in a different direc
tion, and that Sunday-schools presented
the only legitimate means under the Con
stitution of avoiding the rock on which tho
French Republic was wrecked. 'Burke,'
said he, ' never uttered a more
important truth than when he
exclaimed that "a religious educa
tion was the cheap defense of na
tions." ' Raikes', said Mr. Jefferson, ' has
done more for our country than the pres
ent generation will acknowledge ; perhaps,
when I am cold be will obtain his reward ;
I hope so, earnestly hope to. lam con
sidered by many, Mr. Webster, to have
little religion, but now is not the time to
correct errors of this sort. I have always
said, and always will say, that the studious
perusal of the sacred volume will make
better citizens, better fathers and better
husbands. Of the distinguished Raikes,
he was clarum et tatenMh nomen.' "
In the same letter Mr. Webster said :
" The Sabbath -school is one of the greatest
institutions of the day. It leads our youth
in the path of truth and morality, and
makes them good men and useful citizens.
As a school of religious instruction it is
of inestimable value ; as a civil institution
it is priceless, and has done more to preserve
our liberties than grave statesmen and
armed soldiers. Let it then be fostered
and preserved until the end of time."
Mr. Webster further said : "I once de
fended a man charged with the awful crime
of murder. At the conclusion of the trial
I asked him what could induce him to
stain his band with the blood of a fellow
being. Turning his bloodshot eyes full
upon me, he replied in a voice of despair :
'Mr. Webster, in my youth I spent the
holy Sabbath in evil amusements instead
of frequenting the house of prayer and
praise.' Could we go back to the early
years of all hardened criminals, I believe,
yes, firmly believe, that their first depart
ure from the path of morality was when
they abandoned the Sabbath-school. And
their subsequent crimes might thus be
traced back to the neglect of youthful re
ligious instruction."
Now, if such were the views of the
two most eminent statesmen Amer
ica ever produced, as to the value of the
Sabbath-school, would it be wise for the
voters in this State to ca9t their ballots at
the coming election for those who are
pledged by their party platform to abolish
if possible the Sabbath-school day? May
I add to this by quoting frcm a report I
had occasion to make on the Sunday ques
tion to the Grand Lodge (California
I. 0. O. F. in 1870, found in vol. 4, page
274, of the journal of proceedings of that
body) : "Next to the family the Sabbath is
the first institution of God on earth. The
word and example of God have sanctified
it from the dawn of time. The day of holy
rest to a land bearing the Christian name,
and to a republic based on equal rights, has
the highest sivil worth ; it is indispensable
to the purity and stability of a popular
government. The State needs it as a
safeguard of the public order, quiet and
virtue. Human laws, however wise
in form, become effete in practice, except
I they are based upon conscience and upon
i the sanctions of eternity, as recognized vol
untarily by an intelligent people. And
God's day cultivates the one, and reminds
us of the other. Man needs the Sabbath
physically. Its law of rest is enstamped
upon the physical organization of all beings
capable of labor. He needs it morally to |
rise out of engrossing seculsxities and ma
terialism to the remembrance of his spir
itual interests. It blends the social and' re
ligious nature of man, and fits him for a
social heaven.
The Sabbath was recognized and hon
j ored by the founders of our Government.
It was adopted by this nation with the
common law of England ; recognized again
and again by our legislation throughout
the land as peculiar and sacred time, a day
shut out from the range of secular busi
ness—a non-legal day— and cherished, too,
by the people as the mother of many rich
and rare social blessings.
The eminent historian, Macaulay, said :
"If Sunday had not been observed as a
day of rest during the last three centuries,
I have not the smallest doubt that we
should have been at this moment a poorer
and less civilized people than we are.'' Six
hundred and forty-one medical men of Lon
don subscribed a petition to Parliament
I relative to this question, in which they
said : " Your petitioners, from their ac
quaintance with the laboring classes, and
with the laws which regulate the human
economy, are convinced that a seventh day
of rest, instituted by God, and coeval with
the existence of man, is essential to the
bodily health and mental vigor of men in
every station in life."
Dr. Mussey, of the Ohio Medical Col
lege, said : " Under the due observance of
the Sabbath, life would, en the average, be
prolonged more than one-seventh of its
whole period ; that is, more than seven
years in fifty. '' From a third of a centu
! ry's experience and observation I am fully
convinced that laboring men will perform
more work in six days in the week than
they can by working seven, if the practice
is continued, and that much more time will
be lost in a year on account of sicknesa
than would be lost by resting one day in
seven, as a general rule. I did not intend
to spin this out so long, but it is nothing
to what might be said in favor of preserv
ing our Sabbath day from the assaults of
California Democracy. L. L. A.
Mendon (Cal.), Aug. 2, 1882.
An bnuttn ToAD.-Chaa. White,
of Newcastle, has a brood of chickens
which have a run of a portion of the yard,
the old hen being kept up. The chickens
! are fed with moistened meal in saucers,
and when the dough gets a little sour it
attracts a large number of flies. An ob
servant toad has evidently noticed this,
and every day along towards evening he
makes his appearance in the yard, hops to
a saucer, climbs in, and rolls over and
over until he is covered with meal, having
done which he awaits developments. The
fiiea, enticed by the smell, soon swarm
around the scheming batrachian, and when
i ever one passes within two inches or sc
of his nose his tongue darts cut, and the
fly disappears ; and this plan works so well
that the toad has taken it up 13 a regular
business. The chickens do not manifest
the least alarm at their clumsy and big
mouthed playmate, but seem to consider it
quite a lark to gather around him and peck
off hi» stolen coat of meal, even when I
they have plenty more of the same fort in
the saucer*.— [Portsmouth (N. H.) Chron

Condition or the Crop* In the I'nlted
States nnd Kurope.
Washington, August 10th.— The August
crop returns by th 6 Agricultural Department,
the work of about 6,000 correspondents, gives
an estimate covering the entire producing
area. It is over 1,500 of the priacipsl agri
culturalcounties in the United States, upon
the condition of most of the crops now grow
ing. The condition of cotton has improved
the p»st month. The general acreage has
advanced from 92 t-j M. Thia is higher by
three points than in August, 1879, acd lower
by eight than in August, 18S0. The average
of waeat returns for August relate to the
spring variety. Its condition is higher than
for several years. It was 88 in 1880, and 81
in 1879 and 1881. It is now S»7, against 100
last month. It was somewhat late, bat nearly
ready for harvest at the date of the returns.
The probable product of winter and spring
wheat, aftur locs by sprouting after harvest
will e'.ightly exceed 500.000,000 bushels. Ex
travagant estimates which aasume 15 to 20
per cent, are mere assumption, and needlessly
tend to reduce the price of wheat in the
hands of farmers. A special agent,
kep^. by the Agricultural Department
at L-jndou, cables to-day : " Wheat in Eng
land promises an average crop of good
(luality." In Franco a meaium crop, Blightly
damaged by rain in its blooming period. In
Germany the recent heavy rains have dete
riorated the quality and abundance of the
product. In Russia aud Austria there are
average cropp, and in Hungary 15 per cent,
above the average. The European prospects
are favorable for a medium product, with
some reduction in quality. The condition of
the corn crjp is represented by 83 as against
77 lant year. At this date in 1881 an insect
and drought was seen in the reduction of 13
unints iv the general condition during July,
followed by a greater deterioration in An
gu-t. At the present time circumstances are
favorable for a further improvement in most
of the States. The general average condi
tion of other crops is as follows : O*ts, 102 ;
spring rye, 100 ; barley, 95 ; buckwheat, 97 ;
potatoe?, 101 ; tobacco, 87.
Crop Keports from the West.
Chicago, August 10th.— An Eau CUire
( Wis. ) special says: The harvest has be^un
in earnest, and the reports are all favorable,
barring some damage by chinch bags to the
l&t,' spring wh»a', and oats. Corn is pro
greasing wonderfn'.'y. and the situation is
the best for yea: 8. The loss by last week's
storm is trifling.
Watebtown i '.Via.), Augurt 10ih.— The
win tar wheat crop, jus; harvested, U the finest
ever raised here, aud uaiall damage occurred
to that iti|Thrck. Tne barley crop Is dam
aged considerally in quantity. Ryes escape
injury, though oi?s are badly lodged. The
best jield ever known h looked for. Spring
wheat will turn out well. The benefit to
corn will ba more than counterbalanced by
the injury the rains have done to other crops.
Southern Illinois reports say corn haa im
proved greatly in condition by the rama, and
other crops are comparatively little injured.
St. Paul, August 10:h.— The past two
days the weather haa been irreproachable for
the harvest — cool, breezy aud dry. In Da
kota the barley is harvested and mostly se
cured. Oats will soon be ready, and promise
50 to CO bushels to the acre. Wheat is filling
finely, and some cutting will be done this
week. In Minnesota the reports continue
equally cheering, and there is no change from
previous estimates. Nothing has damaged
the crop yet. The weather has been perfect.

Washington, August lOsh.— Fonr hun
dred and twenty-two persona were appointed
to clerkship) in the Pension Office to-day.
The clerks of the National Boaid of Health
were dismissed, CongreHs not having provided
for salaries.
Brady makes an affidavit in the star route
trial in which he recites the statement made
in the affidavit of Bliss, in regard to depon
ent picking up an envelope with money in it
from S. W. Dorsey, and continues, that the
statement is wholly and utterly false so far
as it refers to •leponent, who never met Geo.
E. Spencer in tha room of Stephen \V. Dor
sey. Deponent further 3ays if George E.
Spencer ever made cuch a statement as indi
cated in the affidavit of Bliss, he stated what
was wholly an 1 absolutely untrue.
William H. Betts, of Washington, makes
an affi Javit that ex-Senator Spencer told him
hfl knew nothing whatever iv regard to the
alleged misconduct of defendants except what
he had heard from other*.
The failure of ex-Senator Georgo Spencer
to appear aa a witness in the star route trial
excites much severe comiueut at Washington,
as he is an officer of the Government, and U
one of the Directors in the I'iiion Pacific
Railroad. The belief is strong that he would
be here, unless he had been advi.-ed th.it his
absence was desired. The President i, placed
in a very awkward position, by the failure of
Spencer, and where he cannot well overlook
hid refusal to obey a summons from the
Government in a ci»e a* important as the one
under consideration.

Irivy Seal, moved the adoption of the
amendments to the arrears bill.
Salisbury said the object of his amend
ments to tha bill was to provide against in
jury to landlords who had solvent tenant*
He believed, he said, the bill was a public
blunder, and that it would not be a final
measure. A bill without a provision raquir
ing assent of landlords would be most perni
cious, and an act of simple robbery. The
Peers, he said, who assisted in passing bis
amendments considered it not advisable to
reject the bill; he therefore would now chal
lenge a division. Salisbury added that at a
Conservative Peere' meeting, at his residence
I to-day, it was decided by an overwhelming
majority that, in view of the state of affairs
in Ireland and Egypt, it was not expedient
to reject the arreare bill ; he said he was not
of that opinion, bat found himself iv small
majority.
All the amendments of the Commons to the
arrears of rent bill were then agreed to, after
tha Earl of Limerick and the Marquis of
Wateiford (Conservative*) had recorded their
protests.
What the Government Will Do When
the BUI Becomes a Law.
London, August 10th.— The Chief Secre
tary for Irolaud stated in tha House of Com

a law the Government will take tuto consid

ment to grant lands to Irish families.

GENERAL AND PERSONAL.
The increasing popularity of lager beer
in England has stimulated the British
brewers to undertake its make. But they
do not make it yet with glucose.
Michelet's continued popularity in France
may be inferred from the fact that a Paris
printer has just signed a contract for an
edition of 10,000 copies of his " Histoire
de France " and his " Histoire de la Revo
lution Francaise," with illustrations, at
the amazing price of nearly $40 a volume.
It is not long since it was announced that
Don Carloa and his royal spouse, the Dach

Pericles is the subject of one compart

Visitors to Epsom races have long been
in the habit of throwing coin to the chil

the children were allowed to keep the

not the case, as the amount received dur
ing the recent meeting (nearly .£140) has
passed into the hands of the managers of
the school, which certainly was not the
destination intended by the donors.
A London journailst writes: "At the

These engravings were done in America.
Minton has recently declared that the

A Michigan farmer watched a three-card

that the card with the bent corner was

reasoning he concluded that by excluding
the card which the dealer intended the

Oi the two others instead, an even
chance of winning could be obtained. He
wagered $100 on this theory an.l won. But
he had to whip the gambler an! the stool

A LOW-LIVED TRICK.
Clara Bell, in a recent letter to the Cin
cinnati Enquirtr, wys of a UiriwrDin<>riß
the Barf :*' She w-u • a biooda k .ri of 13 or
bo, with a gro»t deal of muscle imbedded
in her plump limbs. She wore an incon
spicuous costume of blue flannel, and
though her arms were bare to the elbows,
and her legs to the knees, the kept them
so much uuder water that there was no
unseemly display. She swam like a dusk,
divic;.'. Uoating, treading, doing anything
■he pleased in the water. She took me
away out beyond the guard line, keeping
my nose in tho air by holding a iisml un
der my chin, and bringing me back ex
hausted,while she was exhilarated. Women
stem to swim easier than men; possibly
their material is more buoyant. Anyhow,
it is a fact that those women who try to
learn almost invariably succeed, whereas
many men fail. An effort is being made at
Coney Island to introduce cork discs, about
a foot in diameter, and fastened to the
hands by straps. It is easy to swim with
them. But I saw a dire that made trouble
between a couple. They were bathing to
gether. He tad tenderly floated her by
placing his hand under her stomach ; ho
had jumped her over the turf by lovingly
grasping her taper waist ; he had led her
into deep water by clasping both b*r little
bands ; and to none of this polite handling
had she demurred. It was when he
put discs on his. hands that their
amiable relation* exploded with a
sound somewhere BaCween a dull
thud and a sharp smack. Made bold by
an hour's familiarity with the water,
she resolved to take a header into
an inooming wave. Clasping her small
hands above her head, she changed ends
with becoming grace — her head going into
the water and her feet coming out. At
that instant, when she was bent, as 'twere,
in mid air, in the full view of hundreds]
the yonng man was tempted by the glorious
opportunity into giving her, with the
broad, fiat disc, one resounding spank.
Mad ! Well, it may have 'been the con
cussion that reddened her face as she
-Talked right out of the water alone, but I
guess not, becauee, in my opinion, it was
the glow of undying hatred for that shame
less spanker."
A Thrilmnk Accident. — It was in the

[ Boiton Transcript.
THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE OP LISBON
IN 1755.
[Sir Clisrks Lye'l(born at Kinnordr, Scotland,
1797, died 187f.), wrote " The Principles of Geology,"
and many cootributi ans to tbe Geological Society of
La«doii.; „■
In no part of tbe volcanic region of
Southern Europe has so tremendous an
earthquake occurred in modern times as
that which began on the Ist of November,
1 755, at Lisbon. A sound of thunder was
heard underground, and immediately after
wards a violent shock threw down the
greater part of that city. In the course of
about six minutes, 60,000 persons perished.
Tbe sea firet retired and laid the bar dry ;
it then rolled in, rising fifty feet above its
ordinary level. The mountains of Arra
bida, Estrella, Julio, Marvan and (,'intra
being some of tbe largest in Portugal, were
impetuously shaken, as it were, from their
very foundations ; and some of them opened
at their summits, which were split and
rent in a wonderful manner, huge masses of
them beinjf thrown down into the subja
cent valleys Blames are related to have
issued from these mountains, which are
supposed to have been electric ; they
are also said to have tmoked ; but vast
clouds of dust may have given rise to this
appearance.
The most extraordinary circumstance
which occurred at Lisbon during the catas
trophe was the subsidance of a new quay,
built entirely of marble, at an immense ex
pense. A great concourse of people had
collected there for safety, as a spot where
they might be beyond the reach of falling
ruins ; but suddenly the quay sank down
with all the people on it, and not one of the
dead bodies ever floated to the surface. A
great number of basis aud small vessels
anchored near it, all full of ueopio, were
swallowed up as in a whirlpool. So frag
menU of these wrecks ever rose again to
the surface, aud the walarin the place where
the quay had stood is stated, in many ac
counts, to be unfathomable ; but White
hurst says he ascertained it to be one hun
dred fathoms.
In this case, we must either suppose that
a certain tract sank down into a subter
ranean hollow, which would cause a "fault"
in the strata to the depth of six hundred
feet, or we may infer, as some have done,
from the entire disappearance 01 the sub
stances engulfed, that a chasm opened and
closed again. Yet in adopting this latter
hypothesis, we must suppose that the up
per part of the chaani, to the depth of one
hundred fathoms, remained open after the
shock. According to the observations made
at Lisbon, in 18:J7, by Mr, Sharpe, the de
stroying elt'ects of this earthquake were
con lined to the tertiary strata, and were
most violeut on the blue clay, on which the
lower part of the city is constructed. Not
a building, he says, on the secondary lime
stone or tbe basalt was injured.
Tha great area over which this Lisbon
earthquake extended is very remarkable.
The movement was most violent in Spain,
Portugal, and the north of Africa ; tut
nearly the whole of Europe, and even the
West Indies, felt the shock on the Mm:
day. A seaport called St. Übes, about
twenty miles south of Lisbon, wu en
gulfed. At Algiers and Fez, in Africa,
the agitation of the earth was equally vio
lent ; and at the distance of eight leagues
from Morocco, a village with the inhab
! itants, to the number of about eight or
ten thousand persons, together with all
their cattle, were swallowed up. Soon
after the tarth clcved again after them.
The shock was folt at sea, en :he deck of
a ship to the we»t of Lisbon, aud produced
very much the same seneati.m as on dry
land. Off St. Lucap, the Captaiu of the
ship Nancy felt his vessel bo violently
thaken that ho thought shi; l:ad struck the
ground, but, on heaving the leaJ, found a
great depth of water. Captain Cl.-.rk, from
Denia, in latitude 36 24' N., i.-tween »
and 10 in the morning, had his ship shaken
and strained as if the had struck upon a
rock. Another ship, forty leagues west of
St. Vincent, r X[i.-rienced so violent a con
cassion that the men were thrown a foot
and a hali perpendicularly up from the
deck. Iq Antigua and Barbadoes, as also
in Norway, Sweden, Germany, Holland,
Corsica, Switierland and Italy, tremors
anj slight oscillations of the ground were
felt.
The agitation of lakes, rivers and springs
in Great Britain was remarkable. At Lock
Lomond, in Scotland, for example, the wa
ter, without the least apparent cause, rose
I against its banks, and then subsided below
I its usual level. The greatest perpendicular
hight of this swell was two feet fonr inches.
It is said that the movement of this earth
quake was undulatory, and that it traveled
at the rate of twenty miles a minute. A
great wave swept over the coast of Spain,
and i 3 said to have been sixty feet high at
Cadiz. At Tangier, in Africa, it rose and
fell eighteen times on the coast ; at Fun
chal, in Madeira, it rose full fifteen feet
perpendicular above high-water mark, al
though the tide, which ebbs and flows there
seven feet, was then at half ebb. Besides
entering tbe city and committing great
havoc, it overflowed other seaports in the
ialand. At X maalc, in Ireland, a body of
water rushed into the harbor, whirled round
several vessels and poured into the market
place.
It was before stated that the sea lirst re
tired at Lisbon ; and this retreat of the
ocean troin the shore at the commence,
rr.ent of an earthquake, and its subsequent
return in a violent wave, is a common oc-
I currence. In order to account for the
phenomenon, Michell imagined a subsidence
at the bottom of the eea from the giving
way of the roof of some cavity, in conse
quence of a vacuum produced by the con
densation of steam. Such condensation,
he observed, migbt l>e the tirst effect of the
introduction of a large body of mater into
fissures and cavities already tilled with
steam, before there had been tutlioient time
for the beat of the incandescent lava to
turn so larga a supply of water into steam,
which, being soon accomplished, causes a
greater explosion.
DOG TOILETS IN PARIS.
There are 1,860 workpeople, male and
female, who subsist in Parii by making
personal decorations and habiliments for
pet dogs or otherwise Ptyag attention to
the canine race. The trade doce by them
is estimated at a total of 5,000,000 to 6,
--000,000 francs, or nearly a quarter of a
million sterling, so th-:t it may i«e easily
guessed how great a comir.otiou is caused
among thia section of society as if ten as
the dog-days come around and the inflexi
ble rules of the Frecrh police as to muzzling
these animals are a_\nn put in force against
their owners. T.it rat;>; for dressing up
canine pets has Iodj; {in-railed in France
to a much greater uteßt than on Urn other
side of the channel, acd has ssMimed ex
travagant )<ropgrtion*. The Homo gives
some exan ;>!e* of tne most notable fashions
now to be observe. l meudj; the fair owners.
Almost t very variety ot dog has its own
proper toilet, bssideG its uwn special toilet
case, containing the brushes, combs,
eponges and other appliances for enabling
it to be washed and dressed. The orna
ments suitable for a " bouledocue" would
be by no means fitting for a " lulu,"
nor doea it at all follow that what would
be admired on a "osniche" would be
deemed in good tastes for a "griffon." The
Utter, which U a long-haired and curly
haired dog much prized by all French
women, is pitied and despised at this time
of year if ho is not close shaven over the
body, leaving the lion-like mane which
looks so particuiary ridiculous to the Bn
glish eye. Smooth terriers, who cannot be
thus embellished or disfigured, are often
adorned with a little plain gold bracelet
soldered above the forefoot and surmounted
with a monogram ; but it is essential that
the leg encircled with this metal should be
the left &&d not the rights Rough terriers
have, oa the other hand, a collar of bright
metal, having a medallion or clasp upon it,
sometimes with the photograph of the
owner, or of some particular friend of hers,
inclosed. The best bred " bulls," again,
ought to wear the collar known as the
"officer," with a colored ribbon — red or
blue for outdoor show and white for the
drawing-room. Every dog having any
claim to be well cared for mast wear
cothurnea or tall boots when he gets out
walking, and these should be of doeskin,
fastened with rings of India rubber.
A Spanish Grandee. — The Duke of
Oxuna, whose death is announced, was a
curious specimen of an old-fashioned gran
dee. He had about fifty titles, many of
them being historical. He was a singu
larly stupid and a singularly liberal man
being possessed of vast estates. He mar
ried a German lady, but was with difficulty
prevented from running away on the day
of the ceremony. He always insisted that
the Empress Eugenic owed her throne to
him, aa the Emperor Napoleon would never
h»ve married her had he not feared that if
he delayed she might become Duchess of
Osuna, For some years he was Spanish
Kmbassador at St. Petersburg, but he
always refuted to draw his salary, as to do
so was beneath the dignity of an touna.
His notions of hospitality were of the
grandest. In Madrid open house was kept
in one of his palaces, whether he was there
or not. One day a lady told him that she
was going to some town in Spain, and, pre
•utmng that he had a palace there, he
begged her to nse it ; but, rinding that he
v.a» mistaken, he at once ordered one to be
bought and furnished, in order that the in
vitation should stand good. It was diffi
cult to praiae anything in his presence, for
he at once insisted upon the person who
praised it accenting it. One of his estates
in Spain was so large that it supported a
band of robbers, who respectfully called
themselves "the robbers of the Duke of
Osuna. " Of this be was extremely proad.
