It was dreadful beyond dct : beyond description, and the deafening | appbuae which followed It only testified, ( . the great joy of the audience on being as- ■ ,ured that the Arion Quartette would aing ' t : no more that evening. Miss Abigail McGinn easy rendered a . 1 , recitative and an aria, by Cappola, in tbe ; , manner that has long ago become so , sadly familiar to our suffering people and f is always a source of profound embarrass- | mi nt lo the accompanist, who floundered , siong list nigbt in the petieot but vain ( hope of getting even with the singer and , run.

This occurred some thirty thousand 1 years ago, if we are to believe Mr. ' Ignatius Donnelly, who has written a book 1 prove that the earth must have passed ' through the tail of a comet, not only once ' but many lima ; and be claims there is ' abundant cvidcooe oo tbe surface of our 1 globe to prove that this catastrophe really 1 occurred. The great departs of uostrati- ' | fled clay which are found in ao many (jCtr1 ; especially In the northern hemisphere', •■the author we are quoting believes ante ' from substance* in tbe tail of the comet ' throogli which the earth passed.

Donnelly doe* not deny 'h*1 •<* *'•» ' furmhl In great quantir* after the earth 1 j was struck by tbe tail of the comet, hut claims that the cosmic mailer of which the tail was c mjvaed embraced day dust as well as stones, bowlders, and even • rocks. When the earth pasted through r the comet's tail, like a bullet through a 1 Intense bat would be geoeraied; • <NTO, riven, and even oceans would be 1 vaporized. Some portions of the earth ■ would become floods of molten fire, and finally, the sudden refrigeration would enormous masses of ice in tbe polar 1 regions, which it would lake thousands of to liquefy. . Comets abound in our 1 talar «y*tr-m. Humboldt in kit time, supposed there might be 117,300,000 of them, 1 and still later astronomers put the number ■ at 300.000,000, without counting those : which reach us from other solar system*. : surprising thing is that the earth is not ofteoer struck by comets than it it. i Bailey's comet waa 150,000,000 miles In length, from tbe nucleus to the end of tbe tuii. Hence, witb lu bead lo the sua, it ' might have reached 00,000,000 of miles beyond the orbit of the earth. In the 1773, Israeli's comet approached the I earth so closely that it would have - In- ■ creased I tic aidi-real year by throe years, «t ft mass had been equal to that of the earth. It finally became entangled In tbe ■ of Jupiter and lost a great portion of its UiL ID. Donnelly suspects that tome such catastrophe mutt have hop1 pened to that placet sod iu satellites, as 1 thai from which tbe earth suffered previous to tbe so-calllod glacial era. All this is ray interesting and ingenious, but astronomers as yet have not accepted Mr. views. Indeed, all reoent 1 geologists have been trying to account for the appearance of tbe earth without alfor any catastrophe.

Wtiat of DwaMT t , j u sance, « Sat Where. ^ ' j [ Instance* of death from purely natural j | causa are rare. By natural causa is < /j ' meant dealt: from the normal decay of the s j vital force*, w hen metamorphoses of tissue j | ' oases, and the spiritual natufe relaxes its ' ' | hold upon the material, the work of life be ' j 0 ing accomplished. F.u!ly one-half of the I J human beings wh '[WopU-thecarth die from ( ' accident, and oric-balf of the remainder | , from detective organizations arisiog from ! , , heredity. Accidents which terminate the ' ( a violent or sudden in their nature. A severe chill arising from unexpected of un- ' avoidable exposure, which terminate* in falsi pneumonia, is of the nature of an Accident, and ao are sunstrokes, lightning , ^ strokes, malarial fever, etc. All zymotic , or germ diseasa. which decimate populs- • ' tioos, come to individuals from accident , ^ of location or exposure. Combatants in - war die from accident, rarely from natur- . 1 al causa. Hereditary taint, as a cause of , j death, fills up wide gspe in our bills of j j mortality. The imperfect physical organ- ( i ration of a father or mother is transmit- * ted to children with fatal results. The r wail of woe which arise* in all lands from improper and almost criminal marriage i* : pitiful enough, one would think, to startle < tbe moar careless and indifferent, and lent! i . to devising means to mitigate or remove : the evil. " ^ Nature is not aiwayakind, or at last I 0 seemingly not so. ner one granfi int. nt e of evolving a universal perfection is not i earned forward without pains and misery. r Pmcress, or advancement toward the gocnl. ts not always attended by happiness . Majj ' 1 only atuins the hlghot good through suf. . fering, and thia Is a lesson of such untver- i sal application it cannot well be over- . ^ looked. Moral and physical evil is in the i world for a purpose; Jhc purpose being ro ,. bring to vlew, bj- contrast, the desirable- • t nets of t'be goo.1. Evil is intended to Ic disciplinary, and it is well to heed iu lea0 son*. V j There is no evidence to show that Na- , turc Intended drath tn !.- cruci or painfii! to the mind, or physically painful to the ^ body. The natural man should know no c more concerning his own death than hts t own birth. He comes Inlo the world withL out the consriouaoos of suffering, and. if l( the perfect law be fulfilled, he will die e oltivioua Ip all pains, mental and physi. lt cai. At his birth he sleeps into existence. b and awakens into knowledge; at his death „ be draws intd sleep, and awakens to a new n llfeI, Dread of death arisa from Iwq pro.nlncnt causa; fear of pliysial pain and uncer. |. tslnty in regard to what coma after death ^ The concurrent 'testimony of all medical k men who are called to sit by the bedside ^ of the departing is that mankind enter- , tain gTeatty exaggerated notions of the r suffering in physical death. Notwith- ,, standing, in our |«*ent social stair, we so r frequently thwart Nature and violate her Liws, she still vindicates bcr intentions, I und* gives tr.e euthanasia to most, ami often where it is least expected. No phe-_ r nomenqp in natwjssswrer wonderful than pliysial Oath ss the event arruce lo the a notice of physicians under all circumstances incident lo tbe dulia of the pro- ^ fession. Dathby nsturr isakind of wakf Ing alccpi the facnltia of tire mind, with- ■ out pain, or anger, or Borrow, lose their way— retire, rest. Tbe man, strong in toB teilect perhaps, is reduced to ti>c inttincc live; the consummation approaches; the B deep sleep that fails ao often 1* the sleep 1 Ural knows no waking, and without pain, or e atruggle, or knowledge Qf what happen*, c the disenthralled spirit departs. This is natural death, and id the nature which would befall most if the free will, which ( has been given doubtless for wise pur]xrsa, did not lad' us into Antagonism with Nature's laws. Sudden and violent .j deaths are usually painless, or nearly so, . |( although often to the observer they do not seem so. A fall or blow, the passage of "t a bullet through vital'" organs, incised r wounds, deep into the tiwucsor viscera. ' and partial lnseniibilTty occurs, ao that if fatal results follow speedily there is but j little suffering in the act of death. " b In great calamities which befall communities, where numbers perish, tbe mind is filled with sublime awe, and tbe cinor lions are stirred to tbe utmat; but the bodia subjected lo tbe fatal catiftlity are r so killed that they have not time to know orfocL 0 In experiments with induction colls of . great power I have frequently, through infc advertency or accddent, received power- . _ ful currents through the hands and limbs, r ao that instintancous temporary uncoc1 sdousoeft occurred. They would have j caused doth had they been directed lo k vital part*, and in that event It would j have ban wholly painless. The fatal force mora to rapidly tjffit impressions of c' scase have not time to reach the brain before the mind is incapable of acting , through tbe organ, and hence there can be I no suffering in death by iighnting stroke. o Sudden death is never undesirable unless L it bean havily upon the sylbpalkira and . external condition of survivors. Death resulting from protracted and . , hopeteaa ilia, as cancer, consumption, T Urpken heart, etc., ia not without its con- , aolatiouA It ia often welcomed. Dot as an t enemy, but a courted friend. We have, t in the instance of a distinguished Southern , Senator dying of cancer, an illustration of J iHe screnlty which may come to one un- ^ dor apparently the ma; deploralde cirn cumstances. In flte declaration made by , the sufferer, that "he was never happier ^ in his life" than whili watching ibe c progress of the disease and wailing for the ,, end, we diaoom the action of that strange j but bcocficent law of rtciprocit; wblch j prevails ao widely throughout nature, n There are few evils or conditions 'in life - not leas afflictive to thoe involved than f. they aecrn to the observer. An instance of great apparent afflietiosi came under my notice, where Ahe beads of a family, bits- *' band and wife, both in middle life, were K sick of iscurahle diseasa in the same room, a- the husband frosn suppuration of an eo- ®" | cyatod bullet in the cavity of the hings,

Uru- ^ditrtis/nunU. Holiday. Goods at Wanamaker's. One quarter in the store is peculiarly a Holiday quarter, a gift quarter; a place where just a little use is made the vehicle lor a great deal of luxury. It is lull now; full _ of wonders; full of pretty things; full of silly things; full of surprises; full of what nobody expects; full of what everybody expects; full, as it . lias been full near Christmas time before. Beginning at the very centre of the store, next north are two counters, one of them very large, and one half as large, filled To overi flowing with perfumeries and j other toilet articles and ' implements. Wc positively must not begin to mention j names, nor even classes. , The only; way to get away from these miraculous things | is to break away," t Next northwest is a col1 lection of small things that people used to luxury will i recognize under die name small leather articles. About the biggest dting diere is a i portfolio or writing-case. Pocketbooks are the com- , moncst But such pocket- ' books! Oh, yes you can 1 Ket good substantial pocketbooks there, with not a cent * of extravagance in them ; t but naturally we are thinking t of the brighter ones. Leather ' isn't fine enough. They must " enamel it, paint it, deck it out with silk and shining sil- , ver and gold. Every year * people get worse and worse. - Every year they must have stranger and stranger things. , Silk, plush, velvet and fur j bags are there, with all their ' pretty and handy and cunning fastenings. But we 1 must hurry on. . j Next iiurflWWf^re writ-ing-papers. Here's room i for a treatise. We're not ' going to stop. But anybody , who passes that white-look-j ing island of trade in the sea - of people, without finding ° out what War.amaker Best * means, in or out of Holiday time, is a loser. What a glory lias a page of • «re 1 Photograph albums are , next on northwest ; and here * the circle widens. Is all that long row photograph 't albums ? Is it possible that 3 so many people didn't buy , albums last year, when we t brought over a ship-load 1 almost?. There's a new set : of people this year, may be. At least die photographers haven't gone out ol business, t At diis end are velvet frames ; yonder are boxes | of leadier and plush. You can pay $6o for a box that a , touch will spoil. IJon't suppose that die things put out to show, even under glass, are the fine ones. Whisper , pocket is full of money, and i that you are aching to get * rid.ol it. ^ Brass and bronze ! Oh, c see the mob of brasses and t bronzes. Open your die-, i tionary. The first word you 1 come to lias its image" there. Preposterous things ! Have your wits about .you. An , artist has studied out -every one. The artist is a wagtoo ; for jokes abound ; litde touches of humor and broad | farces. So there is pathos; and beauty everywhere.
