The Huron Expositor, 1870-09-16, Page 68 THE HURON EXPOSITOR.. SEPTEMBER 16, 1870. Ireland's V0'-`eaJthieet Landlord. LyndonCorreapeasd once of the N. Y. PeatA, Lord Hereford is a nobleman of the type which produced the Wen ab revolution ; and had there been many Like hitn in England its peerage would long ago have been'a thing of the past. He has estates certainly Werth £150,000 net, in England and in Ire- land. In both countries he is an absentee. His seats in. England ate not even kept in repair, and .in ,:Ireland he has no • house. Many ysare:.agothisnoble minded aristocrat took it into his head that, it was due to his ,dignity tobe a Knight of the Garter. He :applied to Sir Robert Peel, then Prime Minister. Sir Robert is said to have frank ay stated that he could not reeommena for the highest honor at the Queen's disposal a nobleman who not only showed no interest^ in ,the country, but persistently lived out of it. He added that there was troublesome times in Ireland, .(when indeed were they otherwise 9) . that the Marquis had a large stake inthat country, pointed out how .es- sentialit- was that its great proprietors should evince an interest in it, and hinted that if lark Hertford took his suggestion a garter might at some future date be forth- coming. So the Marquis determined to go through an awful ordeal. He left his darling bou- levards and beloved bagatelle (hie villa in the Bois de .Boulogne), and betook himself to the wilds of Erin. He did the popular ; a marquis with a hundred and fifty thous- and pounds a year generally finds it easy to do so when he pleases, and he did so please, The hopes of his tenantry ran high; There wastalk of a mansion being built on the property,/ and of its lord coming to live there eery year... The local papers sang paean, th Dublin press caught it up, it was wafted across the channel to Printing -house square, and reached Downing street. Before long, a star glittered on the Mar- qais's breast, and a broad blue ribbon ie- lieved the monotonous whiteness of his waistcoat. But his benign presence has never again shed its halo oyer Ireland, and although , he draws thence the larg -in- come of any man. and would spend £20, 000 to -morrow on it picture or a cabinet, he refused to advance £ 15,000, at five per cen. to help the poor on his (property to get a line of railroad made whi h they most ur gently needed.._ .: It is asserted that during his stay in Ire- land he accompanied a neighbouring baron- et for a ride, and this gentleman took him to an elevated point which commanded a rich and extensive view. "There, my lord," said he, " you see this gland prospect ; as " far as your own." " Well," was the reply, I see it for the first time, and I hope to God I shall never see it again." Ills com- panion was speechless with disgust. His hope had been fulfilled ; he has never seen it again. So much for Ireland's wealthiest landlord. It is satisfactory to know that at his death the Irish property (L60,000 a year), must at any rate pass into good hands. sirs. Eclipse of the Sun m December 1870. Astronomers in all parts of the world are note busy in making their preparations for observing the eclipse of the sun, on Decem- ber 21-22, 1870. Although it will not be visible in the United States, it has been sug- gested thatsome of the American observers of the last eclipse be sent. abroad for the purpose; of taking part in the observationg. of the one,in question, and Congress has lately appropriated $26,000 to the Coast survey for the purpose. Great praise was awarded by foreign physicists to the Aweri- can astronomers for the excellence of their -- work, and especially for the remarkable photographic pictures that were taken, and at so many points ; and it is urged that. these same gentlemen, or selection from them, would be admirably fitted for a re- newed investigation of the kind, since their experienceof the first phenomenon would enable thein to utilize their time to better advantage during the second. According to a recent writer this eclipse will begin in the North Atlantic Ocean ; the line of cen-' trai and total eclipse, moving in a south- easterly direction, crosses Portugal x Iittle to the south of Lisbon ; passing over part of Spain and the Mediterranean Sea, it ent- ers Africa near Oran, and soon afterwards attains its extreme southern limit ; the shadow of, the moon, now moving in a north- easterly direction, leaves Africa, and cross- ing the island of Sicily, the south of Turkey, the Black Sea,,. the Sea of Azoi, dissapnears ; the penubra of the moon, decreasing rapid- ly, leaves the earth with the setting sun in Arabia. The sunwill be centrally and' to- tally eclipsed at noon in lat. 36° 38' N., long. 5' 1' W., a little to the north-east of Gibraltar.—Eclitor's Scientific Record in Harper's Magazine for September. • Beliefs of Indians. The quality of God was the most ancient tenet of the Indian faith—a prominent ten- et, it may be observed, in all the more ad. vanced oriental nations of antiquity. They believed in the existence of two great Spir- its as forming the perfect Godhead. One eminently great was the good Spirit, and the inferior one an evil spirit. They be- lieved every animal to have had a great ori - Sinal, or father. The first buffalo, the first beam the first beaver, etc., was the manitou, or guardian spirit, of the whole race ofthese different creatures. They, ohose some one of these originals as their special manitou or guardian, and hence arose the custom of having '-ithe representation as the totem of the tribe; Whatever . they held to be su- perior to themselves they deified, such as the sun, ninon, stars, °meteors, fire, water, thunder, wind ; but they never exalted. their heroes or prophets above the sphere of humanity. They adored an invisible great Master of Life in various forms, which they called manitou, antkenade it a sort of tutel- lar deity. They have vague notions of vi carious atonement,', and spade propitiatory sacrifices with great solemnity., They all had dim traditions of a 4eluge.ssq aaii* exhi- bition of divine wrath, nd'th'e sal tion of a family as an act of divine enemy.... They were very ;superstitious, and undea Ale idi- ;Motion of priestcraft they did cruel and lot' Able things. In their pictographic records of moral and religious thought, .se well its of their mytholigy, they employed symbols extensively. These were ,also teed: in writ ing their songs, and in .musical notations. Their funeral and burial servieeLindicat- ed their belief in the immortality of the soul. Their ceireuronies were. of similar type everywhere. They laid their, dead, wrapped in skins, upon .,hicks, i- thse::bot- tom of a shallow pit, or placed in a sitting posture, or occasssionally. folded them in skins and laid them upon high scaltoldt out of the reach of wild beasts, under which the relatiti es wept and wailed.. Theirsrms, utensils, paints, and food `were buried with them, to be used on their long journey to the spirit land, for they.. possess a ,two -fold nature of matter and spirit, In some regions they lighted a symbolic'funeral,pile for several nights upon the grave, that the soul might perceive and enjoy the .respect paid to the body. Everywhere -they =raised mounds over the graves, and *thong the Floridianithe widows of the warrio 8,,slain in battle cut off.. their hair and strewect it. over the grafi of their beloved ones. 8aarbruok- To those who are in the habit of travel- ling on the Continent, Saarbruck is well known as a most unwelcome halting-pla. e. It is here that travellers between ,Meta and Spires have to undergo that unpleasant ope- ration that still, in this enlightened .age, exists on the frontiers of almost every Eu- ropean country -a searching atthecustom- house. The town itself is situated on the left bank of the Saar, forty miles south- south-east of Treves .; on the opposites bunk of the river, and connected with it by 'a large stone bridge, is the suburb of St. Jo- hann, in whicak is the railway station of : the German line, connecting Saarlouis:, and Treves with the railways from .Mayence, 'and those of Baden andBavaria. The town is of no little importance, as the whole country in this neighbourhood as far as For- back is extremely rich in coal, which is shipped i from Saarbruck to Treves and the towns on the Moselle. Large iron manu- factures also exist here, and the population of the town amounts to 14,000. Saarbruck is not without historical asso- ciations. It was founded as early as the tenth century, and became a dependent of the town of Metz under the Emperor Henry III. Subsequently it was governed b$ its own counts, until, in 1380, it came by mar- riage into the hands of the family of Nassau. It was afterwards fartified, and suffered severely in the wars with Fiance. The pres- ent town, however, has nothing to show to prove its antiquity. It consists of two or three very long, straight streets, running parallel to the river. The houses are most- ly two storied, . with high-pitched, tiled roofs. \ All the buildings are comparatively recent, and were erected on the ruins of the old town which was destroyed by fire in the year 1676. ewe ea - Do Bees Gather or Make Honey ? Mr. Benson asks "if bees gather or make honey from flowers ? " I am decided- ly of the opinion that they gather it and deposit it in the hive, without any modifi- cation whatever. There are few things we can say we know are not so ; but it seems to me to be too late in the day for anyone to maintain that honey is manufactured by the bees. As for making honey from mo- lasses, I will not say I know they never will, but I do know I never could induce them to use a particle of it, and I have tried numerous experiments with it. The foundationof the belief that they ever use it probably Dies in the fact that the bees will gather the -sugar settled in the bottom of molasses casks, but observation would show that it is only ,the• sugar. I never could detect them carrying offone, drop of liquid molasses. Likewise, I have satisfied myself that bees seldom visit more than one kind of blossom Turing one excursion ; I have known. exceptions. There it. no evidence, however, as maintained by some, that they are particular about storing each kind of honey by itself inthe hive. One may dis- cover cells of clover honey, discolored by buckwheat, , which ia'neither pure clover or buckwheat. INPORTANT INVENTION IN ELECTRICITY.— The New York correspondent of the Bost- on Journal describes a new invention for displacing steam by electricity, and says that lathes, planing machines, and other me- chanical arrangements can be driven by this power. To run an engine of twenty -horse power by. this invention would` require only a space of three feet long and two feet high. The cost per day would be thirty-five cents. On a steamship no coal would be required, and the space now used for coal and ma- chinery could be used for cargo. The stub- born resistance of electricity to mechanical use heretofore has, it is believed, been over- come. A continuous battery has been se- cured An. --d other difficulties removed, princi- pally ` through the coil of the magnet. If the invention works as well on the large scale as it does on the machinery to which it is now applied, . steamships will soon ly the. ocean under the new power. A ma- chine of great capacity is being constructed and will soon be on exhibition in New. York. The whole thing, mighty enough to carry a Ounarder to Liverpool,. can be se- cured ina small trunk. . tete • 4 v `FOR 18?O; POSSESS ALL THOSE GOOD QUALITIES WHICH HAVE ESTABLISHED THE MANCHESTER HOUSE AS ONE OF THE BEST PLACES FOR DO ING BUSINESS IN CANADA; SEABoRTu-, Apri128, 1870 152-tf.
