The Sun.
The following interesting facts cod
tenting the sun are condensed from tin
ccentlj published work of Amedei
Jaillemin :
The sun at the zenith (and 91 mil
ion miles' distance from us) gives at
Jttch light to any object as 68,000 can
les three and a half feet from that ob
ct.
The 1 ght of the snn is about 75 times
s intense as that of Drominond iight,
nd the most dazzling electric light evei
btained was 2} times weaker than the
no's rays. The 'after is 18O.U00 times
Wronger than that of a candle.
The suu's light at or near the z-nith,
ith a clear sky. is about 1000 times
renter than wheu the sun is setting;
00 times greater than when ouc de
rce high, and eight times ns great as
hen five degrees high.
Dr. Wo! las ton calculated the light of
le sun to be at least twenty thousand
nllion times greater than that of Sir-.
is or the dug star.
The light of the son is 800,000
nil * creator than that of the moon.
The sun's light at the planet Mcriry
is 7000 times grc-iter than the
land Neptune.

French Losses during the War.
The special corn sp >ndeut of the .N
2 Y. Tribune at Berlin gives, on the 26t
2 ultimo, the following official s^atemer
of German captures thus far, not in
eluding Laon :
5 On the 2d of August, the day whe
' Saarbiuck was temporarily ahaoriooe
' by the Prussians, the French lost a
prisoners six officers and sixty Bevei
' privates.
> At Wciscmbourg, 30 officers am
1,000 men as prisoners, 4 mitmilleurs
1 22 cannon, 51 army wagons and carria
! ges of nil kinds.
At Woerth, 6,000 prisoners, inclu
dins 100 officers, 2 eagles, 6 mitra-i
1 leurs, 35 cannon, 42 w.'gons and carria
gcs, 200 hor.-cs, the baggsgo and cau?|
tents of two divisions, and two railwa;
trains with provisions.
Same day, at Spioliern, and durin;
tho days following those battles, it
engagements at Itoishofen and Sarre
guemincs, 2,500 prisoners, 4 guns, t
pontoon train, a tented camp, and twe
magazines,* containing 10,000 woolcr
blankets, 40,000 packages of rice, coffet
and sugar, large quantities of wine
rum and tobacco, the last alone amount
ing to 8500,000.
These were capturod in tho fortresses
Hurrcndored during the first half ni
August: At Ilanneuu, 4 officers, 102
privates, 8G horses, a large supply oi
arms; at Litchtenberg, 3 officers, 28C
privates, 7 guns, 200 muskets, 30,00C
cartridges, powder, &c.; at Lutzolstein
and Petite Pierre, large quantities ol
arms and munitions; at Marsal 60 guns
The three days' fighting at Mctz do
not show such large captures 01 uicn
and material because the enemy was
able to save both under the guns of
that fortress. Still, the captures were,
at Vionville, 30 officers and 3,000
prisoners; Oravolottc, 54 officers and
3,000 prisoners. (The lo>?es in killed
and wounded during those three days
were 25,000 )
Since then the captures have been, at
the fortress ofVitry lc Fruncais, 17
officers and 850 private prisoners, and
16 guns. At the engagements and battles
at Nouart, li-uumont, and Sedan
previous to the capitulation of the l itter
place, above 30.000 prisoners, more

Social Honor.?Every person
should cultivate a nioc sense of honor.
In a hundred different ways this most
fittinp adjunct of the true lady or gentleman
is often tried. For instance,
one is a guot in a family where, per
hnp?, the domestic machinery does not
run smooth!^. There is sorrow in the
house unsuspected by the outer world
Sometimes it is a dissipated sun whose
conduct is a shame and a grief to his
parents, sometimes a relative whose
eccentricities and peculiarities arc a
cloud on the home. Or, worst of all,
hu band and wife may not be in accord,
and there may be often bitter words
;spoken, and harih recriminations. In
any of those cases the guest is in honor
bound to be blind and deaf, so far as
people are concerned. If a gentle
word within can do pood, it m3V be
well said; but to go forth and reveal
the shadow of an unhappy secret to
anyone, even your nearest friend, is an
act of indelicacy and meanness almost
unparalleled. Once in the scored products
of any home, admitted to its
privacy, sharing its life, all that you
sec and hear should become a sacred
trust. It is as really contemptible to
gossip about such things as it would be
to steal the silver or borrow the books
und tail to return them.
How Monkeys are Caught ?
From the chapter of Menageries, in
Oliver Logan's "Before the Foot Lights
und Behind the Scenes," wo make the
following extract :
Monkeys are such cunning creatures,
one would suppose them the more difficult
to catch than other wild animals.
Pitf'nlla will tjike a lion, and the fatu
ished monarch of the forest will, after
days starvation, dart into a cape containing
food, and thus be secured. 13ul
how are monkeys caught t The ape
family resembles man. Their vices art
human. They love liquor and fall. Ir
Durlour Sanaar the natives innrke for
mooted beer of which monkeys ar<
passionately fond. Aware of this, th<
n itives go to (lie j?Krts of the fore-ti
fr<quented by the monkeys, and set 01
the ground calabashes full of the cnti
cina liquor. As soon as the monkc;
. sees and tastes it, lie utters loud crie
i of j-iy, that attracts his comrades Thei
i ao orgic begins, and in u short time th
> beasts show all degrees of iatoxicatior
Then the negroes appear. They ar
t >o far gone to distrast them, bu'.npparcntly
take them for larger specie* :
jj of their own genus. The negroes take
tbexn np, and then begin immediately
11 to weep and -cover them with kisses.? 1
> When a negro takes one by the hand 1
to load hint off. the nearest monkey will i
Q dine to the ono who tlms finds a sup- 1
,j port, and endeavor to go off also. An- 1
8 other will grasp at him, and so on till '
n the negro leads a staggering line of ten I
or a dozen of tipsey monkey*. Whon t
j finally brought to the village they are 1
, securely caged, and gradually sobered I
' down; but for two or three days, a i
gradually diminishing supply of liquor 1
is given them, so as to reconcile them I
by degrees to their state of captivity. ]

p Great Eartbquake in Asia? *
P Over tkrte thousand People Killed.? i
A correspondent.of the Londou Times i
. writes from India: ?
j ,,The Roman Catholic Bishop of *
Batang,on theconfinesof Thibet, Uhioa, I
j and Bunaah'ands to India a terrible I
j account of an earthquako in that region, ?
, affecting an urea of one liundied and f
, eighty by ninety miles. The event oc- ?
curred on the 11th of April, and his *
[ letter is dated the 30th of May. Con- t
sidoring that the missionaries there can t
communicate only by Shanghai, the <3
I- transit of the letters has been rapid.?
? Last year, it may be remembered, there
p was a very destructive earthquake in n
I the, in one sense, adjoining British t
I district of Cachar. A shock at five in '
( the morning and a stronger shock at a
r noon were followed at sunset by an ii
earthquake which leveled the whole t
| town, and killed or bruised half the $
population. The missionaries escaped h
to their garden, and only one of their o
servants perished. The Inrge and splen- t
did Lamaserai, inhibited by three t
thousand Lamas, fell with a crash. n
"Tho nhinftsfi official rcDorts. which v
Dr. Chauvcau tells us aro a little exag- 1
gerated, estimate 'the loss of human 1
life at 418 Lama priests, 57 soldiers, 11
and 2,812 'common people.' A series 0
of earthquake shocks were felt as fur as u
Poiigmonstnng, whore Mr. T. T. Coop- 8
er met Sucr Suggufsing, tho Ncpaulese c
Ambassador, in 1SG8. 'J'he village and r'
many othtrs are destroyed, and so many
of the authorities and the soldiers have
been buried under the ruins of their n
houses that 'robbers, like wild beasts, ?
run everywhere.' To conclude, in the T
bishop's own words, 'the imperial high- "
way Irom Pekiti to L lia?sa seems, and 1
is said to be now, totally impracticable *
near Kotig-dzc tiu by the fall of n mountain
and the sudden upbeat ing of a new
one.' "
CnuE'ii Matters?"Well Kufus, I
gong to the First Presbyterian wi h
Die this morning?" " No, father. I
reckon I'll go down to the Second Methodist."
Put on his way to the edifice,
Rufus uniformly stopped at the
oilicc, unlocked the old gentleman's
private closet, and indulged himsilf
with plensant fluid. Every Sunday
morning the Judge repeated his Jaudabel
inquiry; but Ilnfus preferred the
Second Methodist. The Judge soon
began to ootico a marked diminution
in the contents of his demijohn, and ^
I riffhtt'nllv eusDeoted who was the cul* a
* r j - i # . M
prifc. The Judge emptied the remaining
liquid'into another vessel, and
placed it in a secluded place. Next ?
Sunday morning came the usual interrogatory:
"Going with me this morning,
Rufus?" "No, father; I reckon
I'll slick to the Second Methodist."? t
On reaching the office, and talcing hold *
of the demijohn, he not only saw with
disgust that it was empty, but noticed
a small piece of white paper attached to ^
the handle, on which was legibly in- J*
scribed these words: " Second Methodist
closed for repairs." After church, tc
father aod son met, and looking curi- 113
ously at each other, smiled a little e*
sinile, but said nothing. The repairs P
on that Methodist building have not 31
yet been completed.

A Horrible Scf.nf. at an Execu- ^
TION.?The Vienna Wanderer relates .
to
a horrible scene which occurred at Cor- p
inth, in Greece, at the execution of a p
nuuibcr of brigands. The criminals
were six in numocr, ana two or mem i ?,
drew dampers at the mouient when they j q
were to lay their heads under the fatal
axe, and rushed upon the executioners
with frantic fury. One of the latter
owed his safety only to a cost of moil ^
he wore under his shirt, while nnothor tc
was dangerously wounded. The rest
hnd to defend themselves with their
axes and knives against the robbers, p
and did this with ro much fury, that
two of the criminals were dead and cut
to pieces before their heads fell by the
fatal axe. This horrible spectacle was
enacted before an immense concourse
of people. . T'
