A Lest Faculty.

Have we lost the faculty of astonishment! Have we arrived at that stage of our de- velopment when we take wonders as mat- ters of course? What are the seven won- ders of the ancient world tothe seventy and seven miracles of this golden age! It is really not fair to mention them in the same sentence. Photography, for instance, and its latest development, the imstantane- ous process. Only a score of years ago one had to sit perfectly still and not even wink at the peril of a distorted picture, and now you may not only wink but run, jump or fly and the camera focuses you just the same. It catches a sunbeam, the light- ning’s flash and the tornado’s fury ; a race horse with all four feet in the air, and the base ball as it curves its way towards the batsman. It is wonderful, miraculous, and, although it is not ten years old, not even a child is surprised to have his picture taken between winks.

Tho other day, while gazing idly in the | window of a print shop, I saw a photograph | of Sethi 1., and another of Rameses I1.—| think of it! Flesh and blood 4,000 years

ago, forty centuries, 120 generations, and | their faces looking out at me from a bronze! ease]! No conjectures, no superstitious

imagery, but the very lineaments as if they

lay before you in the sarcophagus —what a

stupendous miracle, and yet I noticed that | of the twenty persons who paused to look, | not one stayed to wonder.

The telegraph dates back to the birthday

of a middie aged man, and even the savage | Sioux regards it with indifference. The/ telephone is a. thing of yesterday, and a boy} in knee breeches picks up the ‘phone and says, ‘‘ give me 100,” and talks to the other boy, 5, 10, 50 or more miles away with as little astonishment as if he were ciding a bicycle. With the aid of a micro- phone, it is possible to hear a fly walk, and an invention is being perfected that will project the image of a distant object on a mirror at your elbow. The time is hasten- ing on, when the telephone will be in every house like water and gas, and when you may not only sit in your chair at home, and onverse with your friend in China, but look in his face and note every movement of his lips. Time has been annihilated and space is being rapidly conquered.

The phonograph was not even a nine days’ wonder. We have seen cable cars and electric motors, and it is a green countryman who gives them a second Jook. been heated with steam, and no one wondered. Natural gas burst fromthe bowels of the earth, and no one journeyed to see it except capitalists eager to invest. No astonishment was mixed with love of gain, and had it been ice cream or Tokay, the result would have been the same. We were not always so. We shouted in wonder at the Atlantic Cable, and flocked to see the Great Eastern. Now we might lay a cable to the moon or build a Great Western a mile long, and the only question would be, ‘‘ Will it pay?” Is there any- thing that could or would astonish us / Ten years from date when we shoot the mails to Queenstown through a pneumatic tube in five minutes, will anyone pause to won- der? Would a flying machine astonish us !

Tasmania. While some of us have been uttering words of warning lest the immigrants now arriying by thousands at our shores should prove something more than a God-send, the people of Tasmania have been crying out in envious indignation at our monopoly of all the mother country’s surplus labor. Our fellow-colonists in that distant portion of the Queen’s dominions cannot understand why a perfect garden, as they consider Tasmania, should be unoccupied to a great extent while hundreds of families are being sent out to settle in Canada. They contend that Tasmania thus requires to be known to be appreciated, that there is no more fertile colony in the Empire, and that no industrious man need be at a loss for a living while he his Tasmania to go to. The press of the country has called upon the Government to take the necessary steps to induce the immigration of British

Kate Fox, the Original Spirit Rapper, SEEKING SPIRITUAL

OTHER CONSOLATION.

A New York despatch reports that Mrs. :

Kate Fox Jenckin, aged 59, of No. 158 East 84th street, was arraigned in the Harlem Police Court on the 4th inst.,

charged by an agent of the society fur the prevention of crueity to children, with fail-

ing totake proper care of her two sons, aged 13 and Lz. Mrs. Jenckin is one of the Fox sisters, the original spirit rappers

who commenced their career in Rochester 30 years ago, and who afterwards travelled over the world astonishing all who attended their seances. Mrs. who has been dead for soine years, was an eminent English barrister. Of late Mrs. Jenckin is said to have been given to in- temperate habits, and her chidren have suffered. She was held in $300 bail to

Jenckin’s 1 usband,

to the Juvenile Asylum. Mrs. Jeackin said to a reporter that she has not lost her powers, although her poverty and misfor- tunes had interfered with their She said Luther B. Marsh had called upon her frequently for consolation since Mrs. Diss DeBar’s incarceration in the Tombs, but by tne advice of her counsel she had refused to see him.

are very romantic.

The circumstances of the case In the town of Ballow,

County Longford, Ireland, lived Nellie Sheridan. Her beauty captivated General Robert Dudiey Blake, of the English army and member of a great and prominent family. Leaving the army, he took Nellie

to Scotland and married her. The Blakes disowned him; and thereupon the General, wealthy in his own right, took his bride to America, and established a large millinery business in Mansfield, ZOhio. any years agu he died while in England, leaving all his possessions to his wite.

Mrs. Blake was shunned by the General's family, and some years ago she died child- less at South Kensington. Mr. Robert Gun, of 6, Prince of Weles Road, Kentish Town, an agent concerned concerned in the case, informs us that she also died in- testate. Her wealth would therefore go to her nearest relatives. But the difficulty occurred as to whom her

relatives were, for although she lived at Ballow it was by

no means certain that she was born there. The registration books all over the United Kingdom have been searched in vain for any record of her birth, while inquires on a large scale have also been made in foreign parts. Some of her acquaintances allege that she was born at sea, but her maiden name of Sheridan seems to indicate that she was of Irish birth. It was only about half a century ago that the compul- sory registration law came int eration,

and this may account for the apparent non- registration.

Mrs. Lawrence Corcoran, however, al- leges that she was a first cousin of Mrs. Blake, and that she can prove it. She

says her maiden name was Feeney, and that her native place was Adgerton, County Longford. Two years ago she and her hus-

band were informed that she was heiress to alargesum. The Corcorans were in very poor circumstances, and their friends re- garded the matter as a huge joke, but the husband converted much Ol iis ineagre possessions into cash, and accompanied his wife to Matawan, where detailed rima- tion was obtained which the Corcorans

think will establise their claim.

According to almost all the charts gotten up by the astrologists, what may be expect- ed of girls born in different months is about as follows :

If in January, a prudent housewife, given to melancholy, but good tempered.

If in February, a human and affectionate wife and tender mother.

If in March, a frivolous chatter-box, some- what given to quarrelling.

If in April, inconstant, not very intelligent but likely to be good-looking.

If in May, handsome, amiable and be likely to be happy...

If in June, impetuous, will marry early and be frivolous.

If in July, passably handsome, but with a sulky temper.

If in August, amiable and practical and likely to marry rich.

If in September, discreet, affable and much liked.

oftenattack the young foals which are up to past fe with the mares in the

mountains, ‘The danger experienced seems to have begotten a precautionary instinct of a very intelligent kind. It is said that,

the mares and foals

on analarm of wolves, congregate for mutu i] protec tion and com-

mon defense. The mares form themselves

into a sort of cordon, heads outwards, sur- rounding a space inclosing the young foals, and are ready for attacking with their fore- feet the wolves on their approach.

My informant gave mea graph unt of such an attack, of which he was an eye- | witness for nearly an hour, and described lto me how the wolves circled round and iround the defenders, first at some distance, Ithen gradually approaching neare: ind inearer, seeking an opening into the in- | closure, till at last they came wit! — | ing distance, and he saw vue woil role lover dead by a blow trom tl efoot of lone of the mares. | The forefoot is not commonly used for | defense by an equine Species ; but it is | obvious that the more powerful hind leg 'blow would ‘be of little service against the

spring ofa wolf irom behind, with sul the

dirceting eye to guide the stroke. What a ‘long experience niust this mutual protec- tion have been the result of! We can scarcely understand it, withcut councils of war having been held, the danger dis- cussed, and signals for concerted action ar- ranged; but now all this instinct may

merely be the inheritance of the experience of former generations.
