We have worked between two tires--the Radicals wanting far more sweeping changes than we woiid sanction, and the other party rolling their eyes in horror when a cftmma was tr ns- posed or a small letter replaced by a capital. The controversy will probably go on lor a few years. The New Testament will be sold in England. Scotland, Ireland, Australia and the United States on the 20th of next May.

The pork found infected with trichime in France, and which was reported to be American pork, was really pork imported from Germany, where tho disease first originated. Mr. Mason states that there has not been a single instance of any person having suffered in health from the use of American hams or pork, that this fact is fully recognized i«v dealers in Great Britaiu, Belgium and Switzerland, and that the danger from trichinosis arises irom the use of fresh, un<mred and uncooked pork.

Advance* will ako be made to owners, tenants and solvent com panies* for tire reclaiming of waste lands,'or other agricultural improvements, the ad vance not to be greater than the amount to be laid out by the tenant, land lord or company to which it is ad vanced. Advauoos will also be made to as sist emigration. Mr. Gladstone spoke several hours in explanation of the provisions of the bill. He said the desire of the Government was to do Justice to the Iris}) people, to give them laws which would enable them to live and thrive upon the land, to help them to purchase farms, or assist them, if they preferred, to em igrate.

The Chicago Tribune lately contained a lengthy article on the new fashion •which is rapidly coming into vogue, of husbands and wives occupying separate beds. The practice is said to be an European one, and is being received in New York with great favor. It has long been held by physicians that tbe habit of two persons occupying the same sleeping couch waa a vicious one, as the superior magnetism of one would draw the vitality out of the other; and while one would awake in the morning refreshed with new energy, the other would be en ervated and listless and hardly able to drag the body arouud during tbe day. Acting upon this European theory, it is supposed that the dealers in beds and bedding have secretly organized a boom in their business, and knowing how a fashion will be followed by people, they are preparing for a reason of prosperity. But, be this as it may, there is Utile doubt that the fashion of sleeping singly has its good as well as bad points, and it will be hailed with delight by those hus bands whose wives are troubled with charity feet. It will also come as a sweet boon to the tired wife whose hus band is a beautiful dreamer and habitu ally kicks her out of bed as he yells, 4 'I'll sell two thousand March at six seven- ieghtlis." But on the rich oldlniBband, whose young wife is kept awake by his asthma, and who will avail himself of the new fashion for a night of undisturbed repose, it will fall with a leaden hand, and his supply of magnetism being cut off he will droop and die and leave his cash so much the sooner. There are, as we said, many good features which will recommend themselves to different peo ple upon reflection. Acting upon the new fashion, it is said that landlords are already providing the bridal chaml>ers iu their hotels with two beds, thus aiming to leave nothing undone that will be con ducive to the comfort of guests. Upon the whole the new fashion is one pos sessed of great merit.--Peck's Sun. EYKN a railroad disaster occasionally develops a humorous situation. In an accident in Canada a man was thrown clean through one of the windows of a sleeping-car into a waste and wintry landscape, attired only in the airy cos tume of a night-shirt. When the con ductor reached the earth and surveyed the scene of destiuction, the first thing that met his eye was this individ ual, wildly gesticulating, and crying at the top of lus voioe, "A dollar for the man who brings me my pants !w Pretty Women's Portrait*. "Is this a fancy picture?" asked a staid old woman, opening her purse to buy a photograph of Lotta, in the char acter of a romping, mischievous school- giri- "No, ma'am," replied the girl behind the counter, 'it's the picture of an ac tress. " The woman couldn't have dropped the card quicker if it had been red-hot. "Here i« a very pretty one that isn't an actress," the salesgiiicontinued. " Who is she?" "I don't know; but she's not on the stage." The photograph showed a beautiful face, one unknown in public perfor mances, yet manifestly belonging to a New York woman, for it was the original work of a well-known photographer. In a round of half a dozen stores where such pictures are largely dealt in, only two more pictures of other than stage favorites were seen. In neither instance wero they portraits of women very ex tensively known in society. They had undoubtedly been produced to meet the demand indicated by the conversation quoted. The " professional" beauty is one of the London peculiarities not yet brought to New York. The sale of actresses' pictures do not fall off in the least, though the business is not done so much by itself in separate stores. A photograph counter is now a common thing in the fancy-goods estab lishments of Broadway and Sixth avenue. The buyers are mostly women, who sim ply desire pretty things for mantels and cabinets, aud are not actuated by admiration of the originals. These actresses' portraits are the most attract ive to be had at trifling cost, and, there fore, sell rapidly. The purchases by men are usually for collection of dramatic por traits, though a bashful youth some times buys the counterfeit presentiment of some burlesquer in a manner indicat ing an intention to wear it next his heart. Inquiries of the sellers elicted the fact that many former pets of the camera are wholly supplanted. Lydia Thompson, Pauline Markham, Ada Harland, Rose Massey, llosina Volkes, and other favor ites of a few years ago, are hardly to be found in the best assortments. Even Maud Branscombe, of whom 300 nega tives are said to have been made, in pos tures ranging from simpering prettily in a swing to clinging desperately to a cross, is dropping out of favor. The run at present is on Mary Anderson. A cab inet picture representing her as thj "Countessin Love," with ahawk perched on her lifted finger (just as he usually refuses to perch in the play), is the most rapid selling thing now in the market. Her head in profile, with a languish ing expression on her face, and her back hair mussed, stands next in popular favor. The writer counted twenty-seveii different aspects of Miss Anderson beauty in one Sixth avenue collection. Among the actresses who firmly hold their places before the camera are Lotta, KateCiaxton, Minnie Palmer, Fannie Davenport and Maud Granger. Their faces are adaptable for photographing, and the photographers are constantly putting them into new and bewitching poses. Alongside them remains Hetty Tracy, a burlesquer, with the countenance of a saint. The new ones that sell well are Adelaide Cary, Catherine Lewis, Eflie Elsler, Carrie Howard, Annie Pixley, the western star, and Ada Oilman. Many purchasers do not know or inquire whose the portraits are, and have no fur ther interest than to get a pretty picture. On the other hand, the prominence of an actress on the stage makes a demand among her admirers.--New York Sun. v» Some Staple Simons. There was a circumstance happened in New York the other day, which throws considerable light on tho conundrum, " Whither are we drifting?" It appears that for some time past the New York aristocracy has been imbibing English ideas and styles. Coachmen have been put in livery"; carriages have a coaf( of arms emblazoned on them; the tally-ho coach has been introduced; the nifty young men affect tho dress, mutton-chop whiskers and single-barreled eye-glass of the English snob, and other mannerisms and monkey-shines are aped. But all these are harmless, except so far as they act on the stomachs of sensible people as an emetic, and produce retching. Re cently, however, an English custom has been adopted by these New York noodles that will not do in tliiB land of the free, and if it is attempted to be put in prac tice to any extent aristocratic backbones are liable to get jarred. A refined, highly respectable aud educated young lady, a school teacher, was a boarder in an aris tocratic Fifth avenue boarding-house, where tho boarders were of that class that they would lick up the spittle of a dead-beat lord, or lady, and thank them for the privilege. Now, among the Eng lish aristocracy it is considered very low for a person to know anything; and a school teacher ranks as a governess, and a governess as a menial and servant. So, when it was discovered that a " menial" was eating at the samo table with them, the sweet-scented scions of some success ful scavenger insisted that she must be bounced; and she was bounced. The affair was an outrage upon our boasted "equality of all," aud the fact that no one in the boarding-house was found to raiso an objection to the proceeding shows that the blood of New York peo ple is getting pretty thin. We presume it is the case that nearly all the enter- prise, genius and energy of the Eastern States have been drained off to supply the bold and adventurous army of men who have developed the Western States and Territories, leaving the lame, tho halt aud the simple-minded beliincL And of course nobody is to blame for being a simpleton or a sucker; he is just as his creator made him. A Natural Mistake. It was a foggy afternoon, a id tie rain had begun to fall. Lower Broadway was crowded with drays, 'buses, and ve hicles of every description, drivers were shouting at each other, and there was a scene of great confusion. People stood upon the sidewalks waiting in the rain for an opportunity to cross the street, and among the impatient throng was an elderly-looking lady apparently much troubled by the situation, who, after watching in vain for a policeman, finally made an effort to cross the street, but re treated in alarm. Just then a portly middle-aged gentleman of benign coun tenance stepped up and touched the la dy on the shoulder. " It is useless for you to wait or to look for a policeman," he said. " It is a pity that an'old lady like yourself should be kept standing in this crowd, so if you will take my arm I will cross"--here he paused, for the face of the lady was turned toward him, and he beheld the round, rosy countenance of a young lady just out of her teens. Her bright black eyes spoke volumes of astonishment and indignation, and with an additional upward turn to her natur ally retrousse nose she mockingly re plied : " Old lady, indeed!" and pick ing up her dainty skirts she made a live- 1 jr ruu across the street, gaining the op posite side in safety, aud was quickly out of sight. The polite but dazed Sa maritan stood still far a moment in si lent wonder, and then walked slowly away, whistling softly to himself. The secret of the blunder was simply this : The young lady was completely envel oped in an antique Mother Hubbard's cloak, whose heavy folds hung straight down from its wide, old-fashioned yoke. Upon her head . was an immense coal scuttle scoop bonnet, the overarching brim covering her face and head and the Bides of the bonnet were held down by broad strings, hid in an immense bow at one side. A large Mother Hubbard bag of black satin hung from her arm, and with her back to the crowd she looked as if die might be her own great-grand mother.--New York World. Paties of Cabinet Officers. , The Secretary of the Treasury has charge of the national finances. He di gests and prepares plans for the improve ment and management of the revenue and support of the public credit.

The Princess Caroline, of Denmark, who recently died in her eighty-eighth year, was a second cousin to Queen Vic toria. The deceased Princess was the daughter of King Frederick VI., of Den mark, and the wife of Prince Ferdinand, of the same house. She had been a widow since 1863. Her father's mother was the Princess Caroline Ma tilda, of Eugland, and a sister of George HI. She was born in 1751, and married when only fifteen to Christian VII., King of Denmark. In 1768 she became the mother of the father of the lady who has just died. Introduced when very young into a dissolute court, she was giddy and imprudent, but, as she always protested, not guilty of infidelity to her husband. She was very pop ular, except with the Queen dow ager and another beldame of the royal house. They were abso lutists m theory, while the young Queen favored a representative government and wised Struensee, the Court Physician, to the position of Prime Minister. She showed him many favors and was doubt less far from discreet Finally the dow agers and their tools induced the weak- miuded King to believe that his wife had betrayed him. She was obviously more fond of the brilliant young Miuister than of her besotted spouse, but, as she claimed they were only friends. Never theless, Struensee was arrested January 16, 1772, and, with his friend Brandt, soon after beheaded. He died penitent ly, acknowledging his worldliness and other follies, though he made no confes sion of the main charge. The Queen was taken into custody at the same time, and would have been executed also, had not the British Embassador interposed. As it was, she was kept in captivity dur ing the remainder of her short and un- happy life, which ended May 10, 1775. A pathetic letter addressed by her to her brother George IIL is emphatic in her assertion of her innocence. It is gen erally believed that she wrote the truth. --Cincinnati Gazette. Flaralltj of Inhabited Worlds. " This world, this planet upon whifih we live," a^ys Flammarion, the Fr>ai«h astronomer, " is only m grain of dust m< the mighty immensity of space." An* in his admirable work on the plurality of inhabited worlds he advances the theory that God has created living beings on. every planet and satellite in the heavens. Indeed, the astronomers generally agree with him that as m earth, which is but a mere atom in the vast expanse of the universe, is inhabited, the presump'ion is that other worlds of more importance than ours in point of magnitude are also- inhabited by beings with life and intelli gence like us. In short, the earth has no marked pre-eminence in the solar sys tem to entitle it to the only inhabited world. Astronomically speakfhg, the other planets are arranged as well as it is. as abodes of life. Even the sun with all its heat, is supposed to be inhabited by mortals physically suited to dwell'on it, for an omnipotent God, who could create the sun itself, could also create people- capable of living on it. „ . If the universe remains to man only a. great material mechanism, moved by physical foi-ces, nature is nothing in his eye but a gigantic laborartory, where the elements are mingled blindly under the most various and casual forms; in * word, if the admirable and magnificent science of the heavens confines the ef forts of the human mind eternally to the- geometry cf the heav<s»iy bodies, the science would never attain its real end, and that it would stop at the mo ment of reaping the fruit of its immense labors. It remains supremely incom plete if the universe was never any thing to it but an assemblage of inert bodies floating in space under the action of material forces. The philosopher must go farther. He- must not confine himself to seeing under a more or less distinct form the great- body of nature. ., We live on a world which is no excep tion among the heavenly bodies, and which we have no reason to believe has received the least privilege. It is the third of the planets which revolve round the sun, and one of the smallest among them; without going beyond our system, other planets are much more important than it in the mechanism of the solar system. Jupiter, for instance, is 1,414 times greater, and Saturn 734 times greater. While it appears to us tbe most important of the universe, it is in reality lost in the immensity of the worlds which people the heavens, and the whole creation does not guess at its existence. Of the planets of our own system there areonly four, the inhabitants of which, if they realy have any, can know the earth exists; those are Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter; and even to this last one it is most of the time invisible in the solar aureola Now, while the earth is thus lost amid worlds more important than itself, the other worlds are in the same conditions of habitability as those that we observe on the earth. On these planets, as on our own, the rays of the sun pour forth heat and light; on them, as here, years, months, and days succeed each other, drawing with them the seasons which, from time to time, support the conditions of existence; on them as here, a transparent atmosphere envelopes the inhabited surface with a protecting climate, giveB rise to 'meteoric movements, and developes those beau ties which celebrate sunrise and sunset. On them as here, vaporous clouds rise from the ocean with the deep waves, and spreading themselves under the heaven, carry .dew to the parclied-up regions. This great movement of life which cir culates over the earth is not confined to this little planet; tho samo cases devel- ope elsewhere the same effects, and on many among these strange worlds, far from noticing the absence of the riches with which the earth is endowed, an abundance of wealth of which outs only possesses the first fruits is observed. By "the side of these bodies, the earth is essentially an inferior world iu many re spects: from the unsatisfactory conditions of geological stability of which the ter restrial spheroid reminds us, its surface being only a thin pellicle, to the fatal laws which govern life on this earth where death reigiiB upreme. H, on the one hand, the other worlds have conditions of habitability quite as powerful, if not more so, as the ter restrial conditions, on the other hand, the earth, considered in itself, appears to us like an overflowing cup whence life issues on all sides. It seems that to create is so necessary to the order of nature, that the smallest piece of matter of suitable properties does not exist without serving as an abode of living beings. --Exchange.

An investigation, conducted in the physical laboratory of Harvard Univers ity, has led to the discovery of the re markable fact that intense cold can de prive magnetized steel bars of nearly all the magnetism that may have been im parted to them. The intense cold was produced by solid carbonic acid. This fact lias an important bearing upon ob servations of the magnetic condition of tbe earth, taken in high latitudes; for what appear to be daily and yearly changes in the earth's magnetism may be due in large part to conditions of temperature, which affect the magnets used in the observations.
