A Vienna dtspiiich' suys: In coiisd
cpienccof Lord Derby's resignation and the
culling out of tho reserves, Austria has ceased
her efforts to effect a compromise about the
congress feeling sure that Russia will not
yield to England'a demand now, when do
ing so would seem somewhat like submitting
before a threat. Hut what may not bo osslhlc
now may become so later, n tho Interruption
of the negotiation In regard to the congress,
and tho order for tho moblllxatlon of the re
serves In England, need not bo followed at once
by an actual collision between tho two powers,
and the conviction may be forced upon them
that, after all, Uie congress offer tho only k.
slblo chance of a peaceful aettlcmcut. It I
stated that Count Andrassytold (icii. Ignatleff
that Austrian neutrality if not co-operation
might be secured by altering the southwestern
boundary of Bulgaria so a to make the Otto

Loss of Jfosc ami Ears a Mark or Subjec
tion. Hcccnt accounts from tho Hast prove
Unit Hoinn vanquished men deprived of
their noses by their couiitcrorei, either
while obviously alive or when supposed
to be dead, survive; nnd those who do
so remain identitlable thereafter as con
quered men. Consequently the loss of
a nose may become the mark of a slave;
and, lu some eases, it does this. Con
corning1 certain ancient Central Ameri
cans, Horrora tells us Unit thev chal
lenged neighboring peoples when "thev
wanted slaves; if the other party dill
not accept of the challenge, thev rav
aged the country and cut oil' the noses
of tho slaves." And describing a war
that went on during his enptivitv in
Ashnntee, Hamseyer says tho Ashantees
soared one prisoner, whoso head was
shaved, noso and ears cut off, and him
self made to carry the king's drum."
Along with the loss of nose occurs, lu
the last ease, loss of ears, wli'eh natur
ally comcs.next to be dealt with. This
i similarly intorprotublo as liaringorig
hinted from trophy-tnkliig, and having
in some cases survived; if not as a
mark of ordinary slavery, still, as a
mark of that oilier slavery which is of
ten n punishment for crime. In ancient
Mexico "lie who told a lie to tho partic
ular prejudice of another, had a part of
Ills lip nut olV, and sometimes his ears."
Among the Honduras people a thief lias
his goods eonliscated, "and if the theft
was very great, thev cut off Ids ears and
hands.'r One of the laws of an adja
cent iicniile, the MUtecs, directed the
"cutting off of an adulterer's ears, nose
or lips;" and by somo of tho Zupotcc:is,
"women convicted of adultery had their
oars and noses cut off." lmuUw .Sci

Uulph Waldo Kinr-rMin on the Future of
1110 KOpilllllC.
It Is certain that our olvilirution Is
yet incomplete. It is not a (piestion of
wnouier inero suati do a multitude of
people. That Is settled. Hut shall wo,
tho now nation, bo tho guide nnd law
giver of all tuitions as having oleurlv
chosen nnd .Irmly held the simplest null
best rules of society? To buy and im
port much from Knglund and Kurope
does not miiko us better men. Kvery
town has Its cottages, its fashions, its
church, from Kngluiid. America is
provincial. It Is an immense Halifax.
Our politics threaten Kngland and her
manners threaten u.s. iiiir temlencr
is to make men all alike nnd extinguish
the individual, The builders of Lon
don gave you houses, and the Bishops
of London viur fnlth. Thus we Unit
that often tlm passion for Kuropo ea-nts
out the passion for America; they for
whom London and Paris spoiled their
own homes can well bo spared to ro
turn to those cities. I cannot only see
room for inoro genius than we 'have
here, but for moro than wo have in thu
world. Our young men lack idealism.
A man, to be a success, must not be a
mire Idealist, but ho must have ideas,
lie does not want to be suu-da7.lcd or
sun blind, but he must have glimmer
enough to keep him from knocking his
head against the wall. We want men
of originality, with ideas wider than
their nationality, and taking in the in
terest of the race and of civilization.
We need men of moral and elastic
minds, who can live in tho moment and
take a step forward. Columbus was
not a backward feeling crab, nor was
Martin Luther, nor John Adams, nor
Patrick Henry, nor Thomas Jefferson.
Tho genius and the destiny of America
Is not sluggard, but Is nn'incosaiit ad
vance, like the hand on the dial'-, face,
and the kcavcnlv bodies by which it Is
moved, Tho Mower of clviliation is
tho finished man of sense, of accom
plishments, of social power a gentle
man. What hinders that he be born
here? The new times need the new
mini; Uio complemeutal man, whom
plainly this country must bring forth.
Mortality is the object of government.
Wo want a state of things which crime
will not pay, which allows every man
the largest liberty compatible wfih the
liberty of every other num. 1 hope
America will come to have Its pride in
having a nation of .servants and not n
nation of served; when every man can
say "I serve; l apply my faculty to tho
the extent of my power to thu'servicu
of mankind in my especial place." He
thereby shows a reason for being in tho
world, and that ho is not a mere incum
brance. Hut the holm is given to a
bettor guidance thnn our own, and see
ing how tliis guidance has rested on this
Union thus far, I havo good eontidenco
for tho future. I feel that in all direc
tions the light is breaking; that trade
and government will not lose by tho
overthrow of the enemies of mankind;
that tho useful and elegant arts will bo
exercised by us as a nation; that tho
reason, tho noblest affections and tlio
Surest religion will tind their abiding
omes In our institutions. .Vtw Lecture.

NetauVs Chief City Slowy Shining lis
Locution.
Our town is very quietly ami very
slowly moving to the eastward anil
down tho face of the mountain. This
is Awing to die settling of the ground
over tlio Honan.a mines. As all the
town is going together it is not much
noticed on the surface, where no cracks
are seen. The water and gas compa
nies are better acquainted with the
movements taking place in the ground
forming the site of the town than most
others, as the instability of the earth
tells upon their pipes. " On It and C
streets, north of union, the ground is
moving both north and east. A water
miiin, running north and south, uncov
ered yesterday at thu corner of 11 .street
nnd Sutton avenue, was found to be
telescoped to tho distance of over a foot,
and besides had in it a great kink which
made it necessary to take out a piece
nearly two feet iu length.
About the Consolidated Virginia pun
mill the pipes are crowding in from
both east nnd west; at least, owing to
the settling of the ground in tho neigh
borhood, there appears to bo two move
ments. Although there are as yet no
cracks lu tho central part of the towns,
there is a large one to tho westward. It
begins at Cedar Ituvinc, runs south to
near the large water tank of the Ophlr,
on tho hill west of town, then turns east
for a considerable distance, when it
takes its course southward, west of
Stewart .street, and llnally joins the old
crevice below the Could and Curry crop
pings. Toward the north this crevice
is about eight inches iu width, and the
ground on the east side of it is about
three feet lower than on tho west Aide.
Captain Overton, of tho Water Compa
ny, whoso opportunities for observing
these movements are unsurpassed, savs
that as the ground settles over tlio Ilo
nunus that on the slope of the moun
tain, where tt is not much undermined,
gradually moves down. Ho says the
international Hotel has moved cast
about live Inches .since it was built, if
such i the case all the buildings iu that
part of tho town, with tho ground on
which they stand, must luive moved the
Mime distance, as no cracks urn to be
seen iu the earth. As we are now trav
eling, however, it will bo a long time
before wo reach tho Sugar Loaf. I'i

Flcctrlriil Science.
The story of electricity forms tln
most romantic chapter in the history of
science. Tho curious tiling about It is
that it has been a progress from utter
and absolute ignorance to the most fa
miliar and extensive practical result.
In all the other sciences mechanics,
optics, physiology, astronomy there is
11 basis of" common knowledge; consist
ing of many familiar facts, to start
with, and there is ever a rudiment oi
science in the loose observations of utt
instructed people, concerning things
that fall within the range of ordinary
experience. Hut electr.cal science- hall
no such starting-point nothing was
known by common people of any such
agent. Lightning was hardly regarded
as a terrestrial thinir. It was the bolt
of Jove, n minister of (Sod's wrath, or a
malign agency of tho prince of thu
powers of the "air, a kind of prcternnt- .
uriil phenomenon; and, when amber '
was rubbed and found to attract light
Inidles In a mystorious way, it was as
sumed to have a soul and to be a sacred
thing. This little seed of science did
not germinate for thousands of years.
It was an Instructive test of the culture
of the human mind, ami shows what
1111 enormous amount of preliminary
mental activity had to be expended be
fore men wero prepared to engage iu
tliu study of Nature. The natural world
was tilled with this force which wc now
call the electrical; all things were pur-
vaucd ny it, nut it was ncneatli the sur
face; it did not strike the senses ami
compel attention; it could be discover
ed only by thought, and the investiga
tion count not commence until the hu
man intellect had been turned in a sys
tematic way upon natural things. Itut
when experimental inquiries iu electric
ity wero mice boj-un, their results were
so curious and peculiar that they exert
ed a powerful fascination over tlio wonder-loving,
ami by this stimulus tho sci
ence rapidly grow. It has given rise to
a uruiluut .series of electrical ami mag
netic discoveries, inventions, and use
ful applications of the widest range n
the highest utility to clvili.ation, such
as no oilier science has ufonleiL I ho

from thu .ero of total ignorance, thro'

the richest harvest of wonderful works.

it was long supposed that tho hfcack

caused by the stream running over 1

place where it empties into the (ilia.
Fifty miles from its junction with the

Tho heat of tho sun would make tho
