To which he replied, that not having tho authority to pledge his company, he could not say dotlnltcly, but assured the convention that any tangible proposition ema nating from them would meet the favorable consideration by Ida company. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Resolved, I.

N EC HUT OF TME A UM OHA HO HF A LIS. Recent Discoveries Brpkalned. The London Spectator has for some months distinguished itself by a scrlCB of astronomical artl'des, combining full scientific Information with popular Interest. The lutest is the fol lowing, published In that paper on October 9, and explaining some recent discoveries of Im portance, tending to explain th? true nature of the Northern Lights : Men of science have long felt that a strange secret lay hidden in tho brilliant folds of the aurora. Tho magic arch, with Its pointed streamers shitting silently but swiftly across tho heavens, pulsating mysteriously us though Illuminated by the ntnilly changing glow of somo concealed furnace, and rendered sur passingly beautiful by the brilliancy of its col ors, hud nlwnys had strange charms for men of thoughtful mind. And gradually a series of la borious researches had revealed tho laws which associate this beautiful apparition with dis turbances utfcctlng the economy of our whole earth, and not indistinctly connected with the habitudes of the solar system Itself. Put re cently u discovery has been made which is even more remarkable than any which had ever before rewarded tho labor of physicists? a discovery at once instructive and porplcx lng, revealing n bond of union between the aurora and a phenomenon hitherto thought to bo qulto dur?rent in character, but leaving us still to learn what tho exact nature of that bond of union may be. Let us consider what bud been learned respecting auroral displays and their relation to tho cartn's economy. We had occasion lately to point out a sudden disturbance In tho sun In 1859 which had been presently followed by Intense magnetic action, tho whole electric system of tho earth quiver ing, so to speak, under the influence of the solar forces educed by the disturbance. And wo mentioned that among tho signs of this magnetic action brilliant displays of the auro ral streamers had been witnessed In both hem ispheres on the night following tho solar dis turbance. This circumstance teaches us the true character of the aurora as strikingly as any which astronomers und physicists nod patiently been gathering togethur during tho past half cenlury. Wo learn at onco that a relation subsists botweon tho aurora, terres trial magnetism, und the central luminary of our scheme. And oven If we wore to pause horc, wo Should lfl)JV0 learned enough to Indicate the significance and Importance of tho; nurorn. Our earth, wo may be sure, Is not the only re cipient of that mystic in Mue t; ce which rouses into activity tho phcnoincnu wo term mag netic. Over tho whole realm whichdtVniles, tho central orb sends forth tho strange elec tric Impulses. When our skies arc illuminated by tho inuglc streamers, wo may bo sure that those of Venus and of Mars, ot Jupiter and of Saturn, nay even tho skies of those unseen orbs which travel fur out in space beyond tho paths of Uranus and Neptune, are lit up with auroral displays. When onco It has been shown that we owe our auroras to Rolar ac tion, we recognlzo the eosmlcal character of the dh play, and Mint, In a -jcene, the terrestrial rcngneilsin on which It depends Is a bond of ufllnltv between our earth und its sister orbs. lint while wo were thus taught tho true slg nlflcanco oj the aurora, wo wore, left in doubt as to the way In which tho solar action aroused tho electric luminosity In tho upper regions of our air. Wo could not ovon tell at whp.t eleva tion the light was suspended aoovo our earth. The most, eminent physicists differed In tho r vIowb as to tho possibility of looming where tho magic et reamers rcrdly wave when wo seo the m most d Htlnotly. whllo Arogo had hold that to attempt to moujuro tho height of tho aurora was as futile as to attempt to measure tho height of a ralubow, Sir John H?rschel considered that precisely tho samo laws of measurement might bo applied to i-ho aurora 28 to any .object raised high above the earth. One point, however, was well.dotormlnod. The, auroral lights are undoubtedly to bo as cribed to electric action taking place at a vory considerable height, whore the air Is very rare Indeed, it became, therefore, a question whether, anything could be learned by analys ing the auroral tight, as to tho condition of tbat psrUoular part pi our atmosphere In V^J?8 <aoj~4rloiicHon Uk* place.

'fie.1 observai ion bas boon repented over and over ugalu, by Angstrom, by Otto Strove, and recently by Mr. Plummer, dwuys with lite same result?we cannot tell what lira sub stance niav bo to whoso Incandcscouco or lu minosity Hie iiurora owes its brilliancy. Hut now a most remarkable discovery has been effected. Angstrom uns loiiud ihuMhe mysterious line of i lie nur?.: a! speed ruin exists In I he spectrum of another object, which had been thought to lie wholly different in charac ter. Ever since Its discovery by Cassini, the zodiacal light lias been un ^Toct of interest to astronomers, Gradually a theory had been .formed respecting it. which liad been sanc tioned bv the authority of iS'.ch moil as llniu boldl and Sir .lohn Herscti* v. it was held Huit ibis appearance is due to the light relluctod froni a multitude of ihlngto eosinicul bodies travelling around the sun i^uilu the orbit of our earth. . This theory had never b'tri tested by spec troscople analysis. Indeed, tho aodlttcul light shines so lalnlly that it was flirdly hoped Unit, its spectrum could lie rendered visible. Ilm il was confidently anticipated tii.it If Hie zodiacal light ever were Unis analyzed, Its spectrum would be that which the theory required? that is. a very faint reproduction of the eoui tmm solar spectrum. Now, ht length, we liearlrotn Angstrom that the spectrum of tho zodlfieiH light has been observed, and instead or being, us hud been expected, a lalttL mlnbow-r.oloYed streak. It presents but. a single line. That line is the same that we see In the spcctrvni of tho auro ra. In other words, tho light it the zodiacal gleam and that of the auroral streamers are due to the same, sort of eluctrVt discharge tak ing place In the same medium. Without pretending to (unb. - interpret this startling result, we may indicate the promise it affords of explaining a number of phenom ena which have long seemed most perplexing. When once we recognise the fact that electric net Ion Is effective In producing any of the ce lestial lights, wo have a resource availa ble to remove many difficulties. Astrono mers were asking how comets, lor ex ample, could exhibit the spectrum of tho Incandescent vapor of carbon? that Is, a spectrum Indicative of the most Intense heat, when, as In the case of Wlnneck's comet (whose spectrum was of tills nature,-) they were farlhar from the nun than the earth Is. The action of the sun in cxcltrnjjElectrical dis charges would be quite st?llriout to nccouut. for this and similar phenomena. Again, it has been long rec.ugnl/.ed thut the peculiari ties of comets' tails seem only explicable us due to electrical action; but astronomers were unwilling to adopt kucIi a i henry without some positive evidence in its favor. Wo* now have such evidence; and ft Is most probable that the ilral. long-tailed comet which i? submitted to spec troscople nnalvsls will OAabllsh the view which Hitler put forth more than half u century ago, that comets' tails have souic ihing in commun with the aurora aud the zodiacal light. It would indeed btf strange If three of the most my .it?rions phenomena with which men of science are acquainted should find their explanation simultuneo. sly. - . 4*m . -r?

And yet thousands net as If such a calamity was of no consequence, while thousands who arc actually suffering from the distressing complaint neglect to adopt the ccrtaiu means of cure. It ought to be known in every locality sub feet to this scourge, or which Is Infested with re mittent fever, or any other epidemic produced by malaria, that HOSTKTTER'S STOMACH IIITTKKS taken in advance or at the commencement of the unhealthy (tTMon, will fortify the system against the atmospheric poison which generates these dlstcmpcis.

Such Is the universal testimony from dis tricts where periodical levers have been combut tcd with this powerful vegetable Chologoguc. In s thievish neighborhood wise men bar their doors and windows, yet strange to say If the same neighborhood happens to be pervaded by serial poison they seldom take the trouble to put their bodies In a slate of defence against the subtle enemy.
