Skip out! Vaimose: PuH up your stake: For downright gall, you take the quake: Clay and n3uc0aaan. Henry Clay used to take especial de light in annoying Mr. Buchanan, who had, he believed, started the report that he had made a bargain with John Quincy Adams by which he secured the election of the Massachusetts statesman as Presi dent, receiving in return the appoint ment of Secretary of State, which had been up to that day a stepping stone to the Presidency. On one occasion, as Mr. Buchanan was defending himself against the charge of disloyalty during the war of 1812, he having been "an old Federalist," to prove his loyalty he stated that he entered a company of volunteers at the time the British at tacked Baltimore, or at the time of the battle of North Point, and marched to Baltimore. "True," he said, "he was not in any engagement, as the British had retreated before he got there." Mr. Clay-You marched to Baltimore, though? Mr. Buchanan-Yes. Mr. Clay-Armed and equipped? Mr. Buchanan-Yes; armed and equipped. Mr. Clay-But the British had re treated when you arrived? Mr. Buchanan-Yes. Mr. Clay-Will the Senator from Pennsylvania be good enough to inform us whether the British retreated in con sequence of his valiantly marching to the relief of Baltimore, or whether he marched to the ralief of Baltimore in consequence of the British having al ready retreated? The Senators and the occupants of the galleries roared with laughter, and Mr. Buchanan, red with anger, prudently made no reply.-Ben. Perley Poore, in the Boston Budget. The Spreial Geological Agent's New DIscov eries. Mr. Sloan. who is engaged in invcatigat ing the earthquake phenomena for the United States Geological Survey, spent yes terday in taking observations in the ceme teries and other places around the city, anu succeeded in making a number of inerest ing discoveries. Among them was the shifting of the enormous -..u shed at the South Carolina Railway wharf on Cooper River. The shed is 400 feet lonI by 60 wide, and is supported on ix-nts which rest on piles. The building contained about 1,50)0 tons of guano at the time of the earthquake, and yet, notwithstauding its great size and weight, the entire structure was shifted 8 feet 9.1inches towards the southeast, thus showing the vast energy manifested by the earth wave. Another discovery of interest, as show ing the direction of the force, was that the brick casing or well of the gas reservoir on Wahington street, although buried in the ground, had been forced eight inches to wards the southeast and had thea recoiled into its original position. The evidence of its displacement was found in an opening or indentation about eight inches wide in the ground, showing where the brick curbing had pressed back the dirt. Mr. Sloan will continue his observations to-day, operating in the section of country between Ravenel's and Lamnbs.-Tecs ainr Cotrer 16th. -'X Casting Glases Like Iron. Berlin papers copy from the Germania the accoo~nt of an important discovery in glass manufacture made by Friedrich Siemens, of Dresden. He has succeeded in casting glass in the same way as metal is cast and obtaining an article corre sponding to cast metal. This cast glass is hard, not dearer in production than cast iron, and has the advantage of transparency, so that all flaws can, be detected before it is applied to practical use. It will be much less exposed to injury from atmospheric influences than iron. The process of production is not difficult, the chief feature being rapid copling. The hardiness and resisting power of this cast glass are so great that experiments are being just now carried out at the Siemens Glass Foundry at Dresden with the purpose of ascertaininsr w~sther the material could be employcai for rails on railways.-London Times. The Fall of Martin I rons'. A few months ago Martin Iro::s was a power in the hand. At a nod from him thousands of laborers qluit their work. At a stamp of his foot millions trembled. When he opened his lips mna feared a rev olution..

Cleveland Abln [wrediet% a Lon; nte!l frolmI EarhIiquakes. (From the New York Ue-a1!) WA-mIx(;TON, Septcioer 12.-Prof. Cleveland Abbe, who was absent fron Washington during the recent e::rthqua)ke. has returned am! IaS given to your corre. spondent somue interesting views as to tin event. le has made a very extensive si ud' of earthquakes and the theories regardin& them. His views are outlined as flow Prof. Abbe considers the Char-toi earthquakes to beloig to the s:ulne categlor% as that which was so violent at Lon;. Branch on August 10. 18?4, and which w:: felt from Maine to Virginia and westwart to Ohio. About one hundred nd :iftsuc earthquakes occurred betwcen 1 .ni 182. antd were studied in the article b Prof. Abbe. published in the l!k:,' oi August 17, 1554 In this article Prof. Abb conclides that these shocks origin'te above the Archaien strata and in the lowe portion of the sedimentary deposits-nime ly, from one to live miles iclow the car.th surface. Ile holds that there is no reasol to believe in a hot tluid interior, but thn probably the rocks beneath this portion o the surface of the globe arc in a conditici of considerablic constraint due to severa causes-namely, first. the weight of super Incumbent masses; second. the contrae! 1 due to slow cooling or the expansion du to warming in case chemical ehanges ar still going on; third, the strain due to b'11nd ing; and fourth, the strain due to the slov proccess of crystallization, such as occurs i the formation of dikes or masses of granit e marl)!e, &c. Under these accumuLlote strains the rocky strata are perpetual: cracking, sliding on each other. re-ing an< again giving way. Every "faull' nie with in a mine or quarry means a sligL earthquake. If it were not for the mnyriads of 1it1 quates we should have to do only wit greater earthquakes, which would, in fact be of the nature of terrimle paroxysm' When a severe earthquake happens it ; usually preceded and followed by num: our slighter quakes, indicating that th strata are gradually being relieved of thei strained condition, but tha.t the main reik is found in the main shock. The distribution of the one hundred an fifty Aj;lacliian earthquakes show th: numerically they are least frequent frol May to September, but that these are pn ciselv the months when the severer eartl quakes are likely to occur: and, again. th a period of few ertliquakes is especial likely to be followed by one or two sevet ones that become stronger the longer t1 period of dearth has existed. Charleston lies precisely in the regio where the carthquakes have been least fri quent for the last fifteen years. Accordin. to the study made of the number of cartI quakes already mentioned, the whole coui try is now entitled to a period of rest . least as long as those between thce irJ quakes of Bfoston, in 1755: of New Madri in 1811, and the present one of 1s8-name ly, from fifty-eight to seventy-live years. With regard to earthiuake tidal wavc, there was from the beginning no occasio for fear in the present instance. Ti waves of 1755 in Uurope and America: thI of India, in 1819: that of St. Martin's, N< venber 18, l55; that of Callao. 1Z;56; Arici IAugust, 18C.8, and Conception, Februari l1836; that of Japan. December 2:3, 154, an that of Krakatoa, July 15;3, all illustra: the general principle that ocean va vcg tend only such carthquakes as origmat under the ocvan, or on the imniedial coast. The ocean water must receive nearly vertical shock in L-r-der to !tart i! wave. Shocks that originate under ti: continent, some distance fromn the ;-:. strike the laitter with a rearly hor;Y.ont: movement, and so far as our records shi these appear never to produce severe eart! quale ocean waves, at le.St not in t: nei,-hborhood of their origin. If any sue wa've attended the Charleston tarthiq'uaf1 it would be felt in the Bermudaas :and Er rope rather than on our coast. While Thi re is Life There is IHope.
