Reports from along tho Hudson, between here and Newburgh, seem to show that, a shock of earthquake was dintinctly felt in parts of Ulster and Orange counties on Thursday morning at 4:30 o'clock. The shock was also felt at the same time in a portion of Pennsylvania. It is described a a quick, sharp report, followed by a low. rumbling sound, during which, in some places the houses were made to tremble and pictures were hurled froth the wails. It lasted about thirty seconds;. ; The delegation to Mentor to urge the claims of Indiana for a Cabinet position, returned home "Monday, with about as much information on that important subject as they possessed before starting on their journey. A poll of the delegation as to which one of Indiana's favorite sons the Cabinet mantle should he dropped aroundj resulted in the selection of Hon. John C. New. Thi3, however, was unnecessary, as Mr, Garfield made no inquiries as to whom was the selection of the jp legation. A St. Paul special says a dispatch from Fort Buiord, the 30th, says the surrender of fifty-one lodges . under Crow King and Lone Day, recently reported, proves to be only nominal, as they are still in possession of thenarms aud ponies, and have not moved from tho mouth of the Little Porcupine.

If the troops again encounter the hostiles it is likely they will shoot to hit because of the reports of the barbarous method of warfare which was to have been practiced by the Indians had they proved more successful in their hostile manifestations. Scout Allison has been sent back by Major Ilges to the Indian camp, with instructions to remain until further orders. - Cincinnati is musically crazy. In that city you are of no conseqnen ce if you oan not converse fluently of sonatas, oratorios, andante movements! n F. and other musical terms entirely beyond the range of the "uncultured" musically. Every girl you meet has a music book under her arm, and an air of abstraction about her that in ordinary cases would indicate that she was in love, but in the ease of the Cincinnati girl it indicates music heavenly music. The whistling gohool hoys, have discarded such old stand-bys as "pop goes the weasel," etc., and now are beard the exciting strains of Mozart's 12th Mass, interspersed with some of those jolly waltzes of Chopin, or perhaps one of tho3 lively fugues of Bach.' The business., man sings a Bethoven sonata at his work, while his busy housewife chants a Handel oratorio to her crying infant. O. its nice to live in Cincinnati. It is said

the angels around tne throne of God continually chant and sing. Cincinnati has put herself in training for the great dissolution, and 13 determined to be fully prepared to join said choir.

The Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia has had a lingering and painful death. In the form of what was intended to be a permanent fair it lasted jutil a few days ago, but the railroad companies would advance no more money to keep it alive, and the directors voted to let it die.

Private citizens of Indianapolis, aeeordiug to tho enumeration just completed by the Census Bureau, own 17,000 of the 5 per cent, bonds of 1881, and 681,800 of the 4 and 4 per cents, In tho thirty principal cities of the Inited States the amount owned by private citizens, including Indianapolis, as above stated, is $333,S62j500. It is only in the la3t two years that Japan has gone into the free school business, but now it has a possible school population of 5,201,807. Of these, 2,066,568 are in atteudance at the government schools. There are 25,459 elementary schools, and these are supplied with 59,25 .teachers. Tney have besides schools of higher grade, and the government gives 6,000,000 per year towards education. Thermometers. Dr. Leonard Waldo has an interesting paper in the January number of the Popular Science Monthly, on the method which has been introduced in Winchester p servatory, at . New Haven, for testing thermometers. The plan adopted at the Winchester Observatory has been to test the standards themselves which are proved to be minutely accurate according to the standards of the Kew Observatory, in England aud also to test all thermometers which are sent for that purpose.During a single month no fewer than sixty-eight were thus tested for physicians alone at the New Haven observatory. In a review of Dr. Waldo's article the Hartford Times gathers these fuels of general interest; ' It is fouud that not only i re many of the common thermometers inaccurate, but that errors exut in most of. those that come from reputable makers. Worse yet, the "fever" thermometers used by physicians are generally erroneous being graduated in many instances .,!, and even (sometimes) 2 degrees too high. Most of the common "weather" thermometers are inaccurately scaled.and marked too high. Go into any druggist's place of business, and note the different thermometers lying side by side in the showcase; the cliances are that no two of them will show exactly the same reading, and "Some of them will vary n or 3. Another curious fact is that ; thermometeis change by age. The reading of the freezing point grows gradually higher. What is more curious is the further fae. that this change is limited to two years. At the end of two years from the time of its manufacture the thermometer will be found to have reached its maximum limit change' which is often 1 to 1J Fan. If we add to this the original error in the gradation of ihe thermometer scale, arising from the belling and freezing points not being propeWy fixed, and the errors arising from nations in the gjsie'of ihe capillary tube, it is quite possible, as Dr. Waldo argues to-show, that there may result a total error amounting to 2P, if not 3. When the progre sive change which takes place during the first two years, in the slowly increasing location of the freezing point (and, to a less extent, of the boiling point also) has quite censed thefreezing point which is then detorn jned, is cahed the permanent freezing point, and is the zaro of the Centigrade aud the 32 of the Fahrenheit scale. The true boiling point is determined by foals with the barome ter, and -with the steam of pure water, at the sea level in latitude 45 a lati

tude fixed upon by a common agreement among ail scientific men. The sources of error arc most common in what is called the calibration of the

The namea of . Democrats are marked with asterisks. The division by . political, parties is: Democrats, S9; Republicans, 36; vacancies, probably though not certainly, to be filled by a Republican, one, Messrs. Da vis, of Illinois, and Mahonq are treated as Democrats, since there is nothing at present, to show nbat they wiil act otherwise than .vith that party. The new Senator from Teh nessee, while owing his election to the support of Republicans, made a special paint in his first speech after election, of tho result as securing the control of the Senate to tte Democrats. There is no safety in thinking of the situation otherwise. Republicans cannot afford, even for such grand prizes as the secretaryship of the Benate, aud the appointment of doorkeepers, to sauetion repudiation in Virginia. For two. years to.oome, thCr, barring accident, the Benate will be in Democratic 'hands.

the penurious man above alluded 1 to, whom ve may cahveniently designate as Brother Z.' . " - Not a little to the astonishment of his .neighbors, who had had ample experience of his miserly dealing, he arose in prayer-meeting one night, and exhorted to liberal giving,, not only to the parson, but to all benevolent objects. Waxing exceedingly earnest in ianguage and tone, he declared, among other things, that he wouhMhat winter give the minister a load of wood,

"Yea, brethereu," he. .. exclaimed, . tne Lord has opened my heart! J' will-give him a load'of wood," and a big one. I will give him the biggest load you can draw from my woods to his yards!"

This 'unexpected outburst from so dronthy a source waii the oarish wander for a week. Many thought that Brother Z must be near his end... "Trulj ,17 said 'Squire McCleilan. at the deacons1 meetinir, "the Lord must have opened Brother Z r '& heart; but,'1 he added, with characteristic Hootch shrewdness, Jt may soon close and may never open again r It behooves us hi the parson's iu teres!;, to avail ourselves of it. Let us build a sled that will carry ten cordsr-and do it at once.: ... , So thought the others. The monster sled was privately but expeditiously framed in a back yard, and, early one snowy morning in December, Brother Z - was amazed to see drive to his door apparently all t he ox teams in the town, drawing the giganic sled accompanied by a shouting throng of teamsters and all the small boys in the parish. The ; Squire was riding on the sled. 'We've come for the parson's load oi'

wood. Brother Z !" he called out "You bade us haul the biggest load we could, and I am glad' to. hear that you hav. lately had a fine lot of hickory

Brother Z . however, seeing the magnitude ?f the sled, tried to explain and to demur, but in vain. . The crowd roared him into acqnieseence,'and with a wry face he finally led the way across the snowy fields to his freshly corded tiers of hickory in the lot. It is said that full ten cords of wood were loaded upon the big sled under the 'Squire's supervision, and then to the tune of a most vociferous gee-hawing, the enormous load was successfully sledded to the parson's doorway. The worthy in in ister.equally amazed but more agreeably so,' issued - forth to learn the cause of the uproar. "Good people, good people," he cried robbing his hands, v'wbafc meaneth this? Have' the . windows of heaven opened . "Nay, nay. parson V exclaimed the 'Squire, "but the Lord has. opened P.rnf hm- ' heart, and that so great

a gift could have issued from so small a receptacle is one of the wonders of saving grhee. Question not, but take it and keep ye warm." The minister had roaring fires that winter, but it was long before Brother J5 recovered his equanimity.

The kas'i Man. Dr. Ji Vittier, of Cincinnati, who died the other day, was the '.'last man'! of a narty of seven men who on 8un.day Sept. 30,1832, thedreadiul colera year, formed the ''Society of the Last Man." On the day mentioned Joseph S. Slanson, a prominent young artist. Dr. Vattier. Dr. James M. Mason;H8nry 3Ij. Tat em, Fenton Lawson; William Disney, Jr., and William Staubery sat in the artist's studio conversing upon the plague and the havoc it was causing. One of the number in a spirit of levity- suggested the formation of a society to be known as the Society of the Last Man, aud proposed that on each recurring anniversary a banquet should be. held at which the survivors were to attend, bur invariably covers should be provided for seven. It was further arranged that when ' but one living representative reinainedwkattend the feast. he was to open drink. a bottle of wine that had provided at the lirnt meal. They e together for the first time on Ocg

A Common Mispi'onnnciation. February Atla alio Monthly. - "There goes Parnef, the Irish agitator !" observed a. gentleman on the peat before me, in a railroad car. "Patnetf, is itVn replied his companion. 4That is Mr. Parneff," whisper

ter. "Mr, .Parne. Ani" jsqw nere were four .persons, educated people, evidently, who iii the course of two minutes mispronounced a plain English name. . It is always annoying to hear the accent misplaced on a name, whether local or personal. We Americans seem to have taken a fancy for throwing the accent in family names en the last; syllable, if possible,

in delance of all sound rules of. gooa fsense or good taste. These two qualifies, bv the bye, are very closely allied.. You can never hawe good taste without good sense as the foundation. False taste is inevitably absurd. Now this common mispronunciation of names ending in ell has neither good sense nor good taste in its favor. It is opposed in the spirit of our mother tongue. Last year I had a nephew in love with a charming girl, Miss Brownell; of course she was Lily ; Browned to her lover. For three mouths I heard Tom mispronounce her - name, or that of her family, a dozen timea a day.

To the open end of the tube a funnel containing mercury is fixed, and the mercury in the bulb is boiled, thus expelling air and m oi t ure from the i nstrn m en t, which, on cooling, necessarily lilis completely with mercury. The bulb is then placed in some fluid heated to a few degrees above the higliest temperature which tho thermometer is intended to

measure, and when the mercury ceases to. overflow, the open end of the tube is sealed with a blow-pipe flame. The degrees and register marks are graded by placing melting ice around the tube, and also by placing tho thermometer in a metalic vessel with double walls, between which stem is circulated."; Self-registering thermo meters, which are placed in a horizontal position, are made sometimes with mercury and sometimes with alcohol. In a nmiuimum" self-registeriuir thermometer the lowest temperature within any given time say, during the nightis shown by tho position of a' little black enamel arrow, whnb, as the alcohol contracts, is carried with it ; and when the alcohol goes back, it leaves tho little arrow at tho lowest point that it reached during the night.

For a murber of- years it was one of the local curiosities of the fcown of Woodstock, C nn.. the early home of the McCieliah family. The narrator's father, who saw ii. frequently when a boy, says it was nigh thirty-two feet in 1 efigt h by th ree i n bread th . The beams wae of squared eigh.t-ineh timber, with studs to match, and the "shoes" or runnel's were over a foot in width. For drawing it there were two "tongues" or poles in the forward end. It was never used save on one special occasion, when the team consisted oi fifteen yoke of oxen. The story of its origin is as follows: In the parish .wh6.ro 'Squire MeCieJU lan resided it was the custom every wmter for such of the men who had wood-lots to give the parson a cord ot

hickory wood each, and thus make up a supply of fuel. The 'Squire in particular was always punctual in December with his, cord . of nicely prepared hickory. In the parish there was a man who had the reputation of being "suug," niggardly, and apt to shrink his due share of the burdtm of paying the min
