SHAKES.

WIIAT EARTIIHJ-'AKKS IIA~VE JJOJJE. (London Daily Telrgraph.J On Thursday morning Lisbon was visited bv two shocks of earthquake, which were happily attended with harm-less-consequences. The telegram of our correspondent announcing the intellijjer.ce Btates that 'beds and furnature rattled, and a rumbling noise like the jpashing of heavy artillery was heard., lieyond these alarming symptons we do not hear of any serious result trom the recent convulsion of nature, but Lisbon lias not always escaped so lightly. There Is probably no city in the world in which earthquakes have happened so ottt or caused the destruction ot lite and property on a scale so indescribably awful as in the Portuguese capital. The history of the place is in every respect romantic. Like Rome, it i* said to be built on seven lulls, though the separate outline of each of these elevations can not be traced without the aid of a vivid iinaginAiion.' The historians ot Lisbon, in Aiarmony with a prevailing tendency shown by writersu'tue Ioerian peninsula *r'• in general, ascribe to t!ie city an incredible antiquity, some ot them ac ually

Claiming a great grandson of Abraham tt& its founder about 5,000 years ago. But whether its origin was Hebrew, or, as Hotrieuc stuuents contend, is derived from Ulvs?es, its development has been pre-eminently of a -chequered character.^ From ils original inhabitants, the .lentuli, the City-passed under the successive rule of Phumlcians, Carthaginians and Romans. Probably owing to the beauty of its site which challenges comparison with that of Naples, and the acknowledged geniality of its climate, Lisbon received from Julius C:usar the suggestive appellation of Fclicitas fuli.i, aim the privileges of a municipium. Willi the restot the Roman empire, it was conquereo by tl Vandals early in the fifth century. Three cenCuries later it was captured by the Moors, and it was subsequently pillaged by northern l.irds, destroyed by Urdono JII. of Leon, seized with the aid of cru' saders bv Alfonso I., besieged by Henry 11.. of Castile, by John, a sovereign of the same Spanish dynasty, afterward by the duke ot I3raganza, and ii nearer our own times bv the French.

J«ot the lea»t memorable of the peaceiul events witnessed by its inhabitants were the departure and return of a^co da Gama mid Cabral on their renowned voyages oi'difoovery.

Jt is, ho^ tver, as a city against which the internal lorces of nature have conAspired with unparalleled frequency and fury that Lisbon is popularly known in other countres. With the memory of previous disasters from the same cause exsHendim: back more than 800 years,, it was ^hardly to be expected that the /recent ,• shocks would not cxciie considerable alarm among the population. Between vlhe jears 1009 1146 three cases ot earthI quake occurred. In 1356 the visitation was repeated with increased severity.

In 1537 the earth was convulsed at inter raid t«'f three successive days, when 2,500 houses were destroyed, and 30,000 persons perished. In 1579 three streets t^'fwerc destroyed, and in 1699 and 1722 the .earthquakes were marked by peculiar violence. But it was on the 1st of "T Novembe., 1755, at 10 o'clock in the $" rooming, the weather being bright and

seiene, that the capital, then in the *-,.r fbcightof its splendor, was overwhelmed. ,fii less than a quarter ot an hour, by the

most stupendous catastrophe recorded in •,rhuman annals. First iere was a it ,t»» tremulous motion, so sliyht as hardly to attract attention. In two minutes afteri' ward the earth shook with buch great J,, violence that the houses were split in «verv direction, and the sun was obscured fty the clouds of dust which arose. At length the third and most disastrous chock succeeded, which laid the city in ruins in a moment, /vn eye-witness re-lates-that 'the screams of the living, the groans of the dying, and the pro.ound daikness increased"the horror.' In twen fcy minutes the silence ot the grave reigned over a locality which had shortly betoie been a scene of chterful activity.

But the havoc had not yet reached its [J? height. Fires broke out'in various quartcrs'ol the city, and were fanned by a strong wind." So intent were the hapless survivors on saving their lives that they kft spreading flames to take their &? course. On the morning of the 7th of

Ihosatnc niosith, at 5 o'clock, ad the ter— rors ot the previous week were' repeated under-greatly aggravated circumstances. The sea root nine feet higher than the ,|7j greatest lecordtd river flood which had ii ever inunadattd Portugal. The aftright^d -crowd congregated on the banks ot the

Tagus were overtaken by a inonstrons wave, and, with houses and streets were overwhelmed in the act of endeavoring to escape. A vast throng of persons fled for reluge from the falling rums to the msurble quay now known as the Praca de Comtnercio, which suddenly sank with the dense living mass collected upon it, and not one of the bodies ever rose to the surface. Boats and vessels crowded with the wretched fugitives were swept down bv the. whirlpool, and no trace of them was ever found. The results ol this abnormal movemertt of nature, could not*be continued within the limits ot the lo^tlity in which it produced the greatest devastation. It extended to Morocco and one-half of Fez, and 12,000 Arabs were destroyed. Its influence was felt as far north as the Orkney islands, and ships in mid Atlantic were tossed by the fearful agitation of the elements it had generated. The number of victims to which the disaster proved fatal is estimated at 50,000, and the value of property, sacririced at £20,000,000. Sa crushing was the effect of this misfortune with its attendant consequences to the court, that the question was gravely debated whether the seat of government should not be removed to Brazil. But the ill-fated capital gradu-

ally emerged from its ruins, and though severe shocks have occurred since the great earthquakes in the years 1761, 1799 and 1807, no visitations have been so serious as tQ interrupt the giowthof the city. Indeed, by a sort of poetic law orcpmpensation,the most handsome part of it to-day is in the valley created by the earthquake, through the collapse of the hill on which the principal section of the old city stsod. As the visitor cross*} the Black ilorbe- square and wends his wav to the Praca de Dom Pedro" IV. and the* public gardens, it requires a strong effort of fancy to realize that any such

occurrence as we have described could have taken place on that spot. The account of these dire phenomena which science has to offer is still vague and unsatisfactory. Their primary cause is prulmhty gaseous combustion in the interstices to be met wjth at irregular intervals in the crust of the globe Probably an earthquake is simply the result ot a va»t explosion of gas fortuitously accumulated in one of these hollow spaces and the wider the opening so proportionately will be thp demensions of the resulting catastrophe. Nor does it appear that the proximity of volcanoes—which might naturally be expected to serve as safety valves—necessarily secures immunity from earthquakes, Certain latitudes north and souih of the equator seem to be singularly liable to this destructive agen cy and it is noteworthy that, although San .Francisco. the great emporium of California which is only two parallels of latitude rem ved from Lisbon, has never been overturown by earthquakes, it has often been sensibly shaken by them. Whether there is a subterraneous volcanic zone encircling the globe within certain distances of the equator is a question to be solved onlv by scientific investigation Buckle, in his interesting comparison of the religious characteristics of Spain and Scotland, propounds tf theory that inhabitants of regions subject to excessive disturbances from volcanic action aie more prone to credulity and superstition than p:ople living under different topog. aphical conditions. It is indisputable that the influences of local scenery and climate exert a potent influence in the formation of national character, and on the assumption of the distinguished writer named above, we should expect the people of Lisbon to be notoriously creduloui and pries' ridden. Facts, however, would incline us to a different conclusion In no European capital, in proportion to its size, are the population charac terized by more intelligence, vivacitv, industry and enterprise, despite appalling events in their history calculated to leave upon their minds an indelible impress of gloom. In con emplating the ravages of nature on the Tagus, we see the stern lesson A rit lartre" that, regardless of the wishes and entreaties of puny mortals, the imperious laws which govern matter will hive their way, and with severe impartiality show no favor to rank or class. Nevertheless, the sentiment is rooted in every philosophic mind that, amidst all the perplexing and trying anomalies of existence, the tendency of those laws is, without exception, at the diiectionofa more perfect and happy world.

A VERY NARROW-GUAGE RA1LROAD. The narrowest of Narrow-guage Railroads is now in operation between North Billerica and Bedford, in N assaclnisetts, a distance of eight and a half miles. The a lily ten irch^s wide A Bo^tcn correspondent of the New York Evening Express says Ben Butler took one fiftieth of tl entire stock ef this ro d, the wl ole amount being $50,000. The projector or inventor of this road is named George E. Mansfield, is a practical wood and iron machineu and an engineer. here re eleven bridges on the route of this road over one hundred feet long The rail weighs twenty-five pound to the yard though it is believed that twenty pounds to the yard would be sufficient. One grade on the road is 155 feet. Tne cars and engines of the road are very well proportioned, and make a very handsome appearance. The engine is behind the tender and next the cars, so that when the rain moves the car next the engine draws own upon and increases th» adhesion rt the engine to the track. Both engi'ne and cars are constructed so as to be very near the ground, giving great advantage in regard to safety, also very little OS illation. The cars have an aisle, with one sraton each side, in the same manner as ordinary cars have two seats. The length of the cars allow thirty seats, each person having a seat to himselt.

The cars are warmed with steam, are well ventilated, have closets, water tank, all the modern improvements. Wtstinghou=e brakes, &c. They weigh but four •oris and a half, ordinary cars weighing on an average eighteen tons. Hence Mansfield will carry sixty persons with cars weighing nine tons, While ordinary roads' must draw eighteen tons to carry fiftysix persons. The engines are equally light and less costly than on ordinary roads. It is quite evident that a road eight and a half miles long, which cost equipped $1,500 less than $50,003, and which can be run lor half the expense crdinary upon roads must be a great and notable achievement. The trains run about twenty miles per hour. Engines weigh about eight tons and draw two passenger and two freight cars twice per day each way, at a cost of coal only one fourth that of ordinary engines. This must be acknowledged to be a triumph in the narrow guage way. Mr Landis and his associates, who aie trying to make the Jersey people believe that they are going to build an ordinary narrowgauge railway from Camden t'o Cape May, ought to go to Massachusetts and learn how to build a road that would better suit their pockets and be more likely to pay. The question now arises If a locomotive and cars can be safely run on a ten inch track, will not some Yankee soon invent a plan for running them on a single track There is no foretelling what Yankee ingenuity may yet bring forth.

A PROPHETIC DREAM. About a week or ten days since a man in this city dreamed that he saw his next door neighbor brought home dead from the mine in which he worked. He told his wile of the dream next morning, and during the day they talked a good deal about it. On the second day the man who had experienced the dream looked from the window and saw the neighbor on his own door step about to leave for the mine. He said to his wife?

THE

WATTERSON CLUB-ED.

NEW YORK'S LOTOS CLUB FEEDS IUM, AND PUMPS A HUMOROUS £PKECII FROM HIM.

From the New York Herald, Nov. 18. The Lotos Club gave a reception last evening to Mr. Henry Watttrson, the editor of the ouisville Courier-Journal. The dinner began at seven, and the speechifying lasted until a late hour. Mr. Noah Brooks, the Vice President, pre sided. In reply to the first toast in honor of the guest of the evening, Mr. Watterson made th^e.following felicitous speech:

Toailay needles^excitement I wish to say in the beginning of the few remarks which I proprose to make on this occasion —and I ask leave to add that having been prepared by a friend, who spared neither pains nor expense, the} should commend themselves and need no prefatory eulogy from me—I wish'to say at the outset that if any one has come here with the expectation of receiving instruction on financial topics I am not responsible for his coming, and shall decline to hold myself answerable for his disappointment. It is not my purpose to speak of resumption or the renionetization of silver. In my part of the country we have an impression that the government %'iould give us what money we want and ask no questions. During the flush times of '37 an old North Georgia farmer went down to Augusta, entered the State Bank, and said to the cashier: "Bob, we must have some more circulatin' medium —bousd to have it—can't get on without it." '•Well," said the cashier, '"how are you going to get it?'' "Why, stomp it." "Suppose we stomp it as you say, how are we to redeem it?" "Why. Bob, that'* what I'm coming to. You see in North Georgy we are agin redemption." It seems lo me that the story illustrates the financial situation in Washington, at least, and, presuming that, if the Government can stand it we can, I turn at once to a question upon which I would dwell for'a moment and to which I would call your serious attention.

Sir, I refer to the condition of the suffering millions. I am told that there are many, very many, men in this great metropolis—and good men. too—who have only one dress suit, and are actually reduced to a pint ot claret, except on Sunday. This condition of things should not be a lowed to go on, sir. Tailors are plenty, and I have yet to learn that th. re is any scarcity of grapes. Undoubtedly there is none in this particular vineyard but there should be none anywhere. If I were the supreme ruler of this country (and for the matter ot that, though *1 sez it as oughtn't to say it'—you might go further and fare worse), I would establish a sinning fund for the diffusion of 'dtore clothes.' Every man should have a ruffle to his shirt. I should put thi very memory of the little Frenchman to the blush who talk about a pheasant in every poor man's pot, for each should have a coop of his own, tilled with game chickens. I would establish clubs and club houses such as this on every premise," receiving as my reward not merely the graiitude of my countrymen, but the blessing of womanhood everywhere Unhappily, my friends. 1 am not the disposer of events. I am but a poor, powerless guest of yours, owing my simple filet and this innocent glass of wine to your hospi tality. 'An I had the power.1 as the gen.leman in the play remarks, '1 would do such deeds As it is, I rise merely to thank you for your generous bounty and, goodwill. 1 assure you that I am embarrassed. Time was when, as a building, the Lotus Club did not dazzle and appal the wayward rural rooster as he strayed within its homely walls. But that time, alas! has gone. These bp splendors, indeed, and quite beyond me. I dare say your manners, too, have kept pace with the dignity ot your State, and tha* instead of the old 'Giyc us your flipDer, Sam,' or 'Fill up your mug, Bill,' it is 'I'm looking toward you Mr. Brown.' 'Tis ever thus we go on from grade to grade until we reach perfection. In these years I may not have traveled as far as you in degree or quality but I assure you, Mr. President, and gentlemen of the Lotos, that, change our coats as we may, I believe all of us have the same good hearts in our bosoms, and in spite of a little frosting about the head and little frailty about the toes, a3 it were we are yet able to welcome and enjoy the old jokes and the old songs. In this regard, I am most happy to be with you a^ain and thank you with all tny heart for giving me the opportunity to say as much observing, in conclusion, with my friend Joseph Jones, of Pineville. Ga., 'No more from your friend till death.'

Mr. Locke

have

a great mind to go and beg that man not to go to work, my dream haunts me so!" The wife answered that it was a foolish thought, which would only annoy the man, and was not worth mentioning, as it was the neighbor's last day in the mine. Within two hours from that moment the neighbor's body, crushed out of shape and quite dead, was brought home.

Messrs. Ballantyre and McDswitl, Chicago coal dealers, have bought the Knickerbocker eoal mines, of Saline, on the Cincinnati road, and will operate them actively.
