Terrible Predictions of the American
Scientific Association.
^ ?
Few know the terrible import of the recent
meeting of the American Scientific Association
at Portland. In its development
of new horrors in store for poor humanity it
was awfully prolific. Its members vied with
each othor in predictions of coming convulsions
of nature, and sustained their arguguments
with truths brought to light from
tho deepest and darkest wells of science.?
That humanity was to be obliterated was
the gist of five papers read by five of the
most scientific, trusted and celebrated members
of the association. A terrible and total
extinction df animal life was foretold by all,
the only question being which of the five
horrors shall first devclope itself, and perform
the work of universal destruction.
THE SUN TO BE EXTINGUISHED.
Professor Young, the mo9t eminent living
Jtudent of solar physics, read a paper on the
tun. That body, he argued, is a gigantic
)ubble, whose crust is gradually thickening
tnd whose size is diminishing. There is a
;onstant loss of heat, which will eird in its
ixtinction as a producer of warmth and light.
To quoted Faye. Secchi and others to prove
hat the material of the sun is gaseous, and
hat these gases are retained by some kind
if a crust. Through this surface the tuaultuous
inner composition is constantly
purling and outbreaking with great vioence.
He thinks that this crust "may conist
of a sheet of descending rain?not of
rater, of course, but of the materials whose
apore are known to exist in the solar ataosphere,
and whose condensation and comination
are supposed to furnish the solar
eat." As this peculiar rain meets the gaseus
substance of the sun it coalesces into a
ontinuous sheet, forming "a sort of bottoro>ss
ocean, resting upon the condensed vaors
underneath, and pierced by innumerable
soending jets and bubbles." This action
fthe sun's envelope will be a quenching of
ae great orb upon which we depend for
eat and light. It will grow smaller, and
ioro comnressed and surrounded bv this
mat, until it will be so hidden and muffled
s to be practically excluded from the ccotioly
of the universe. The result will he in;nse
cold and darkness, a cessation of all
nimal life, and an immediate return to
rignal chaos.
THE BUBBLE EARTH TO BURST.
Gen. J. G. Barnard described the interior
f the earth as a molten fluid.. Previous no- ,
ons had giveu the earth, however, u rigid'
xtcrior surface from one to two thousand
jet d<?p. He refuted this theory, arid
laimed for the globe upon which we live
)mewhat the construction of a rubber ball
lied with melted lead. The sttnface is. ho
links, a pliable coating that ha- been grudully
formed over the fiery mass inside A
lobular form is maintained by rapid intarv
lotion, tho inner fluid sustaining the s ft
bell in its position, so that the uuJnlatiov.s
re imperceptible to us. Thus we are luring
hirled through space on a huge globule,
be surface ol which float* *011 an interior of
quid fire. Only the rotary speed of this
ubble keeps it together, and any disarrangelent
or change in terrestrial phenomena
ould resolve itself into vapor. General
laniard does not believe (.hat the surface is

sufficiently to form a sort of capsule,
'he tenure of the world's existence, thereore,
is exceedingly uncertain. Any great
isturbing influence?the breaking out of a
luge volcano, any change in the surface
hat would render it brittle, the impact of a
ieavy meteor or comet?may, in a moment,
mmolate it, leaving humanity to whirling
leath amid the horrors of inorganic space.
DARKNESS, SILENCE AND DEATH.
Mr. H. P. Walling began an essay on 1
The Dissipation of Energy," by saying:
'Since the days of the ancients it has been
mown that all motion is gradually developed
? ? ?j ?
JV inuiiuu, iiliu 111UOt iiii.mjf licilflu uiiiwoo ,
naintaincd by external power." The heat j
jowcr of the sun, which he regarded as the j
notive power of the earth, is beiiif^ exhaust- j
sd by the prodigious lavishncss of its expenliture.
It is supposed, he said, that the j
lutellite will fall into planets, planets into 1
tuns, and suns into a common centre, afte r j
ffhich "darkness, silence and death will
reign." He was not without a shadow ( f
hope, however. He saw two possible chances |
lor a postponement, at least, of the dreadful
eatastropho : First, r series of natural chemical
evolutions attracting to the sun a vast
amount of combustible material: and. see
ond, the infinite magnitude of thu universe
being sufficient to permit a never ending
concentration of masses. Cue <hv .!? ! cf i

I'NIVERSAL T?Rui;i!UT A.N'n T.Ut V.V: H>.\.
Professor Franklin H. ITnu :h foretold a
perpetual drought?the result of a clearing
off of the forests.? "The contrast,'.' he said,
"between an open and sunburnt pasture, ami
one interspersed with clump-"f trees, iiiu-t
have heen noticed hy every careful ob-ervcr.
The Taet that furniture in h -use. too much
shaded will mould is an instance of the hu
mid influence of trees, and the results t
woodland shade explain the fullness of
springs and streams in the forest, which drv
uj? and disappear when the tree? aic removed.
"The rapidity with which forests are disappearing
has already heen a mfllter of alarm ;
but when we consider the effoet upon streams
?practical illustrations of large ones being
lessenecPand small ones extinguished?there
is cause for fright. Land will become unwateved.
and consequently sterile; crops will
lessen in volume until the arid and treeless
plains refuse to respond to the incitement
of the farmer; universal famine will
ensue, and the world, entirely depopulated
by starvation, will sink into uninhaiitativeneas,
until some new change calls another
form of life into existence.
INSECTS TO END TIIE HUMAN . RACE.
Dr. lie Conte, the new president of the
.association, read a naner on the enormous in
crease anil drstructiveness of insects. The
present actual annual damage done by insects
to crops in the United States is over three
millions of dollars, yet these figures give hut
an inkling of what the increase promises
for tho future. "Just now," says Dr Le
Conte, ;'a portion of the insect tribes are
sufficiently numerously nature to inflict injury
upon man and his possessions; ^Jjut
civilization destroys the balance of life
which naturally keep down increase, and
permits in tho case of insects?those previously
insignificant in numbers?to become
prominent actors in a work of destruction."
The only methods suggested by this
scientist to avert a calamitous plague were
"?o abandon the crops and starve out the
noxious insects," or to establish "a system of
checks on their increase equivalent to these
existing before civilization interfered." Kithor
of these plans are, of course, impracticable.
The impending dilemma seems to be an increase
of insects so vast that the plagues of
Egypt will be more than produced, and that
all vegetation, and finally starving and helpless
man will be eaten.
All of which argue an early dropping of
the curtain upon the fleeting show 01 life.
We quote :
"I would not live nlway; 1 ask not to stay
Whore storm nfLer stotn rises 'lark o'er the wav :
The few lurid moruings that dawn on us here
Are enough for life's w oes?full enough for its
cheer.''
Fatrons of Husbandry?History of the
t OrganizationIn
view or the rapidly increasing interest j
in this order, the following from tho Missou- i
ri Republican will prove acceptable to our |
readers. There is much apprehension ex-1
isting in the public uiind iu regard to its
objects and purposes. Because of its secrecy
it is looked upon as dangerous. If it
bo for a moment considered that among the
pembers there are ladies, and that each
member is pledged to -mrta of honrvoUnee
and love towarefhis associates and neighbors, '
the danger is so threatening. The idea
was originally borrowed from an association !
which has existed Ibr many years in a com-!
munity of Scotch fanners in North Carolina, i
This Scotch society seems to have had for j
its object the purchase of all needed supplies j
from first hands, and at wholesale rates, and ;
the cultivation of more intimate social rela- !
tions among its members. It was really !
nothing more than a secret co-operative, in-;
dustrial and literary association. The numbers
composing it were few and its influence
small. Indeed,the fact that such a society
had an existence was a >t known beyond the i
,.crt.iiiminr''- -iflViptrvl bv ifxinsti
IllllftlO VI UIVVVUIU.UH.. , -V I
tutions. It was not until the spring ot' 1868 ;
that the order <>f the patrons of husbandry
became known to the people of tlie West.
Paring the preceding winter, Mr. II* P.
Kelley, of Itasca. Minnesota, and several
other loading agriculturists of the West,
happening to be in Washington, had fro- ;
qucnt interviews in relation to the interests
of the farming population of the great West. :
It was about that period that the character j
and workings of the Scotch society of North !
Carolina became known to them. The idea J
was seized, elaborated and matured to adapt
it to more general purposes of a natioual order.
In the beginning of 18G8, the order
was introduced int" the West by the organization
of a Grange at itasea, Minnesota. In
a short time another Grange was organized
in Jasper couuty, Iowa; a third Grange soon
came into existence at Waukon. Aluiakee
county, in the same 8tate. From the
year 1868 the order made little progress
until the past twelve months. A few Granges
were organized in Iowa, Minnesota. Wisconsin
and Illinois, but up to the year 187
it is estimated that t ho jvhole rummer or
members in the four States did not exceed
seventy-five thousand. It is clniuiod t!;at in
the same States intv there are at least four
hun I red and fifty thousand patrons The
order seems to t>e Intended to Cxcrei- " a uioral
supervision over jts members, and pro-,
vides for the rare of such as may bo i*nf??rtiinalc.
The social character of the order
is made prominent, hut tlie material interests

great reduction in the expense of doing

implements. But what is most significant
in this movement is thc^rapid [advance it has
made. In Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama,
and especially Georgia, the people are organizing
Granges with the same avidity which
characterizes the progress of the order in
the northwest.
New Orleans, November 1.?A letter
from ex-Judge Merril, dated Colfax, Grant
Parish, October 20th, says: "In haste, and
with feelings of horror, I write to inform the
public of the actiou of the Metropolitan police,
sent hero by Lieutenant-Governor
Antmnn rlitrinr' tliA nticonoo nf t4nc<?rnnr
Kellogg. On .Saturday night Ixst. the house
of a most respectable widow lady, on Red
River, was fired into, near this place; doors
were broken open, and tho unfortunate
lady and her daughter, of seventeen years,
taken out, and, horrible to relate, violated.
Neither of the ladies could be found until
late Sunday afternoon. An infant, eighteen
months 9ld. and a grand- child of ex-Governor
Wells, was found out in the woods,
some half mile from tho house, and near the
spot where the foul deed was perpetrated.
The infant was a uiece of the lady and child
of Mumford Wells, oldest son of ex-Governor
Wells. The negroes up here all say that it ,
was the soldiers, and we all believe^that iT
they were not the perpetrators, they instigated
the negroes to the horrid deed of infamy.
It is said here that when Col. DeKline was
informed of the outrage, he! smiled, and ,
said his troops were up hero for a higher
purpose thau arresting men for such petty
offences. Antoine is believed to have sent
these creatures up here to give the negroes a ;
chance for revenge, and one of them told
tho writer that he had a right now, under 1
the protection of the United States, to shoot
any white man he wanted to shoot, and violate
any woman he met. He said to him,
that these wero State troops and not United
States troops, and he replied, that the Colonel
hud said, at a negro ball, the night be
fore, that he wanted all the coiored people
to come and see hiin ; that now they could do
as they pleased, ns they were under the protection
of his soldiers.
First Frost?A Touching Scene at
Memphis.?The Memphis Appeal thus describes
the coming of the frost at Memphis
:
' While it was yet twilight, aud ere the |
J. h id yt opened the gates ef day 1
to the rising sun, hastily attired men ana women,
with semi-nude children in their
arms, were out in the streets breathing the '
precious air of the purifying frost. Here,
stoopping down one gathered a handful of the
glittering hoar-frost, which, pure aud beautiful,
lay upon the earth, and gazing on it
with somewhat of the gladdening spirit with
which the Israelites gathered the manna in j
the desert of Arabia, cxcaimed: '0, God !
we thank Thee for this blessing!' Others
came and touched with reverential fingers
the pure, cold messenger of health, as if to
satisfy themselves, like the half believing
Thomas of old. that the saviour of the city
had not risen but descended from heaven,
to save the people trom the destroying angel
of the pestilence. Groups of men and women
moved from place to place to prove by cumu
lative evidence that indeed it was frost-, and
nut some optical delusion; that the wished
for guest had not merely confined its visita
tions to one locality, but enjoyed the freedom
of the city. Here a pale-facc, once a
hnndsome woman, with a tender babe at her
breast, knelt down on the cold ground to
thank God that the frost had come! Poor,
stricken heart! she and her orphaD boy were
all that the pestilence had spared out of a
onco happy family. Strong men, bare-headed
and bare-armed, walked excitedly hither
and thither rejoicing in the fact that a physi
cian had come to whose nostrums the whole
faculty must yield precedence as the ouly true
panacea for the terrible yellow fever. Windows
and doors were thrown open, woollen
and cotton garments were exposed to the
disinfecting agency of the cold and rarefied
air. and everywhere in the city a.? well as in
; the vicinity of the infected region the enthusiasm
was as marked, if not as fervent and
1 joyous."

! Comm>rcittl Bulletin gives this account of
the last speech of John C. Cnlhoun in the
l"nitc-d States Senate. Calhoun came into

j framework. The day had been assigned for
this speech, which, it was evident, would be
his last.
The seats and galleries were filled to. the
utmost capacity, and y t the silence was opi
pressive, as if in the actual presence of the
grim messenger. He calmly and delibei|
atcly surveyed the eager faces before and
around him. mid before assisted to rise, sunt*
rnoned strength to address the chair, and
request that the speech that he had intend*
cd to deliver might be read by his friend
from Vermont, Mr. Mason. After the conclusion
of the reading, many Senators gatherod
around the dying Senator to give expression
to their respect and sympathy. He
left the Senate Chamber for the last time, af
lie cntored, supported by the arms of his two
friends. Tie was taken to the "Old Capital,"
and in a few days passed #o "that undiscovered
country, from whose borne no traveler
returns."
Counterfeit Money.?United States
detectives have succeeded in unearthing a
large counterfeiting ring that has been operating
for years in East Tennessee and Western
North Carolina. The counterfeits dealt
in by them are not confined to any particular
currency of the government. Gold, silver
and greeu backs have all been counterfeited
and put afloat. Of the first gold, the most
of the counterfeits detected are half eagles,
or two dollars and a half pieces, of the date
hi IXol. I his com u said to be an almost
parfect imitation of the genuine, being well
executed and having nearly the ring of the
true metal. It is lacking, however, in
weight, and can bo detected by being placed
in the scales. Among the parties arrested
are some of the most reputable farmers and
business men in their respective sections of
Tennessee and North Carolina. Among
others the foreman of the grand jury of
Kowan County was arrested at Salisbury on
Wednesday of last week, while'the court was
in session, and carried of to Greensboro to
be examined before the Fnited States Commissioner.
On Saturday last, as we learn
from the Observer, Mr. William Bryant was
arrested in Oharlottte and taken to Greensboro
charged with being implicated in the
operations of counterfeit money. Parties arrested
in Tennessee are taken to Knoxville
for examination. The number already arrested
exceeds one hundred, and the officers
aro in pursuit of others who are implicated.
? - V '
Skepticism.?The Cumberland (Md.)
Weirs relates the following amusing incident^
which occurred at'a camp-mecting last sumnior
An eloquent divine?whom wo will designate
as well as the Rev. Mr. W., was addressing
the boys, and sought to impress upon
them the idea that each one of them was
capable of accomplishing some great or good
act. To illustrate his proposition, he related
the story of Jack, the youth who killed the
giant on the bean stalk, and made Jack out
quite a h<jro. evidently deeply- interesting
The interest, however,
was dashed when the minister remarietrcinrc
the only drawback to the story was that it
was not true. He then asked : '"Boys, do
you believe the story ?" With one accord
the lads cried out, ''No, sir! no, sir!" The
minister then said he would illustrate his
idea with another story?from the Bible
this time?and related, with all the embellishments
of detail, the remakable account of
how the youth David slew the giant Goliath
with a sling, and thereby assisted in *
vanquishing a hostile army. The boys were
again deeply interested, and listened patiently
through the recital. When he had concluded
it. the minister again inquired.
Now, boys, do you believe that story V*
With one accord the lads again shouted,
'No, sir! no sir!" The apparent discomfiture
of t he reverend gentleman did uot detract
a bit from the amusement with which
the incident'was received by the older persons
present. Although "Hi quickly and
neatly escaped from his embarrassment, we
concluded that when he wants to "illustrate"
any more to the boys the Rev. Mr. W., will
not connect the marvelous iu fact and fiction
so closely together.

nothing, has not even an idea of the amount
of her hu.Jband's fortune, whether it is to be
counted by hundreds of thousands. What
can a woman kept in such ignoranco learn f
Phe spends as a matter of course, all he gives
her to spend, with the full confidence thatwhen
it is gone, and she asks for it, he
will give her more.
If an unmarried woman works, she may go
with a bold unblushing face, and demand
her wages: but a wife can demand nothing,
her claim is onlv f>r bare necessity ; and
generous men. on that account, are too often
indulgent, too fearful of lotting a wife know
the exact state of thoir finances. ''Tis all
wrong.
Husband and wife have a mutual interest;

fortunes.
