OF Somewhat more than a year ago we called attention to the changes -which are to be perceived in the relations of land and -water, the action of rivers on the land and the influence of delta lands in restoring land te the earth being noted in the article alluded to, -while the des tructive action of the sea on many points of the coast was also detailed. In the present instance we purpose to examine a few of the more typical cases of sea actions viewed in its destructive effect upon the land, and also some aspects of earth movements which undoubtedly favor the destructive powers of the ocean. - As regards these destructive powers much depends, of course, on the nature of the rock formation which lie next the sea. A hard f ormatioa will, ceteris par ibus, resist the attack of the waves to a greater extent than a deposit of soft na ture, and the varying nature of the coast lines of a country determines to a very great extent the'regularity or irregular ity of the sea's action. A well known example of a case in which the ocean has acquired over the land an immense advantage in rospect of the softness of the formations which favored its inroad is found on the Kentish coast. Visitors to Margate and Iieculver or the "Be culvers" as it is now named as a fam iliar landmark. It two weatherbeaten tow jr3and the dismantled edifice are the best known objects among the views of the Kentish coast; and to both geologist and antiquary the "Beculvers" present an object of engrossing interest. In the reign of Henry VIII. the church was one mile distant from the sea, and even in 1781 a very considerable space of ground intervened between tho church and the coast lino so considerable, in deed, that several houses and a church yard of tolerable size existed thereupon. In 1831 the sea had made such progrees in the work of spoliation that the in tervening ground had disappeared and the "Beculvers" appeared to exist on the verge at once of the cliff and of destruc tion. An artificial breakwater has, how ever, saved the structure; but the sa cred edifice has been dismantled and its towers used as marine watch houses. The surrounding; strata are of singular ly soft nature, and hence the rapidity with which the eroding action of the waves has proceeded. An equally instructive case of decisive action of the sea is afforded by the" his tory of tho parish of Eccles in the coun ty of Norfolk. Prior to the accession of James VI. to the English crown the parish was a fairly populous one. At that date, however, the inhabitants pe titioned the kinpr for a reduction of taxes, basing their request on the ground that more than three hundred acres of their land had been swept away by sea. The king's reply was short, but characteris tic. He dismissed the petition with the remark that the people of Eccles should be thankful the sea had been so merci ful. Since the time of the niggardly sovereign j'ust mentioned Eccle has not been spared by the sea. Acres upon acres have been swallowed uy tue in satiable waves, and as Sir Charles Dyell informs us, hills of blown sand form ing the characteristic sand-dunes of the geologist occupy the place where the house of king James' petitioners was situated. The spire of the parish church, in one drawincr. is. indeed, depicted as proj'ecting from among the surrounding sand-dune3t which the wind, as if in league with the ocean, has blown in up on this luckless coast. The comparison of old maps of countries bordering on the sea with modern charts affords a striking and clear idea of the rata and extent of this word of destruction. No better illustration can be cited of the ravages of the ocean than that exhib ited in the maps of the Yorkshire ooast lines, and pirticularly in the district lying between Flamborough head and the mouth of the Humber; whilst the district between W ash in Lincolnshire and the estuary of the Thames shows an eouallv creat amount of destructive change. Three feet per annum is said to be no uncommon rate for soft strata in these localities to be carried away, and the geologist may point to GoodwTin Sands notorious alike in ancient and modern history as another example of the results of sea-action and of wear and tear exercised by the mighty deep. The contemplation of such actions fits us in a singularly apt manner for the realiza tion of the full force and meaning of the Laureate's words: There rolls the deep where grew the tree. O earth what changes hatt tUuu seen ! It is highly important, however, to note that the sea received aid of no or dinary kind in its acts of spoliation by tke operation of certain forces afflicting the land itself. Land frequently disap pears from sight beneath the surface of the sea by a process of subsidence or sinking. "We must, therefore, clearly distinguish between the kind which the sea literally takes by its own act and that which becomes its property through this curious subsidence and sinking of the earth's crust. No doubt the result is practically the same in each case the sea being in either instance the gainer and the land the loser. But the sinking of land being a phenomenon less familiar to the ordinary reader we venture to note a few of its more prom inent aspects. Chambers' Journal. General Sherman's Peculiarities. The inevitable paragraph about the last set of girls General Sherman kiss ed, in Oregon this time, has followed the old man to Washington. Very few people take more pains to exercise this privilege of greatness than General Sherman, and I fancy it is a sort of con stant gratification to the warrior, that it takes forty odd young ladies to repre sent the Union of States in his day, when Jackson had to put up with a score. And General Sherman does not confine himself to the American young lady in her representative ca pacity. He kissed the Oregon young lady as all the world knows. He kiss ed Maud Harrison behind the scenes at San Francisco. Infallibly he had done the same thing here if she ever played here. WThen Mary Anderson played last winter. General Sherman filled the entire front of a box with his applause, clapping like a school-boy, and when her benefit came aronnd, his entire staff had to take tickets enough to insure the success of any benefit. In a good many ways Sherman is a burden to his staff. He never wears full- uniform; but it was laid out for him with great care, Monday, March 5th, last, for the inauguration, straps, swords and spurs. It was hard to see how he could go wrong. He appeared at the Capitol late, flushed, bothered. The staff blushed for its chief. Trouble had gone for naught. Genertl Sherman had added to full uni form bright yellow kids. Washington Letter to Utica,N. Y., Hera! J. Disposed Of. A party named Atcherton came up from New York last spring and built a house for summer boarders at Lake Lomond. He put up a three story building with aJFrench roof and piazza, and made "a very fine place of it. He also erected a barn, for stabling. Mr. Atcherton was not an early riser, loving his bed too well to get out of it before noon. . .One morning in July last he was awakened from his slumber to see a man who was anxious to have a talk with the proprietor. Atcherton seriously ob jected to breaking up his nap, but be lieving that the anxious party meant important business, he got up to re ceive him. The reader can fathom the old gentleman's disgust when he dis covered that his visitor was a lightning rod agent. There was a disposition to kick the intruder into the lake and go back to bed, but as that waa scarcely within tho limits of hospitality, to say nothing of the requirements of the law, the landlord smothered his wrath and patiently submitted to the infliction. The agent Was a smooth-faced and smooth-talking man. He said he had been most favorably impressed with the appearance of the place, which was really imposing, and he was confident that in two years or less the host would bo doing what he felt justified in calling a "smashing business." "But I see you havon't got any rods on your palace. How's that?" The old man said he did not think ho needed them. "There never was a place that needed them more than this does," said the agent. "How's that?" "Why, here you are with a lofty structure on high ground, in an open place and surrounded by rocks. There's everything here to produce a outpour ing of lightning." The old man went outside, followed by the agent. Both looked up at the building. "You think there is danger, then?" asktd the old gentleman, after a pause. "I don't think anything about "it, my good sir, I know it. Common sense teaches me that a building situated like this is in danger. If I owned it, and a man should come along with this kind of a rod I would slip it on quicker'n you could say Jack Kobinson. why, I d believe I was committing architect ural suicide to delay the work an hour." "You don't think it is safe then to go through this season without the rods?" "I certainiv do not. Why just look at it. Here you are in an exposed place. with a most elegant hotel. Everything in good shapo and a healthy business before you. The future opens up to you like a path of gold. Suddenly there comes a storm, the lightnings play, the thunders roll suddenly, in a twink ling, there is a crash, and a most valua ble property is swallowed up." The old gentleman was visibly af fected. The agent s eyes were moist and his cheeks flushed. "What do you say?" he asked after a pause. "I don't know," replied Atcherton, as a man deliberating. "You think the barn is in danger, too?" "Certainly. Nothing can save either of them, but the rods. If they were my buildings I wouldn't begin to think of taking the risk." "I 'spose," said Atcherton, interroga tively, "that it would be best to have a full number of rods on the house? The more rods the safer." "Oh, yes. It don't pay to do this thing in a half-way manner." "Well, now, what would it cost to put rods all over the house?" . The agent's eyes glistened. "Let me see." He took out a memo randum book, figured a moment, and then said: "I can put a tip at each cor ner, on every chimney, and one on top the flag staff, for $325, and you will have a job that Julius Ciesar might be proud of." "You will cover the house then for 32T?" "I will," said the afrent, putting up his book and rubbing his hands. "All right, I'll have it done. Just cover the house. Put on a rod where ever you think it is needed. But I won't have any on the barn." "Yes sir," said the agent, so full of joy he could hardly see the way to his wagon . "Can you do it soon?'' asked Atcher ton. "Do it right away," briskly responded the agent. "All right," said the old gentleman. "Put 'em on thick and fast, but not a rod on the bain. We'll let that go, you know. But cover the house, and when tho barn is struck I'll pay you for the job." The agent, who was making for the wagon on a sharp run, turned around at this, and stood as if transfixed. And to this day there is not a rod on that house. Danbvry News. The New Coachman. The boy should have known better at his age than to let out family secrets, but he felt grateful to the other boy for the use of his stilts, and he softly re marked: "Father wasn't home, all last night, and he hasn't come home yet." "Gone off?" queried the owner of the stilts. "He's down somewhere, we expect, and ma says she ain't going to run after him if he don't come home for a month." "Did they have a fuss ?" "Kinder. You see we had to let the coachmau go, 'cause it'shard times. Yes terday afternoon ma wanted pa to black up and drive her out in style. He kick ed at first; but when she got mad he caved in and fixed himself up so you couldn't tell him from a darkey. When he drove around ma called "him Peter, and ordered him to back up and go ahead and haw and gee around, and he got up on his ear and drove back to the barn. Them duds Came off'h him like lightning, and he was so mad that he didn't stay long enough to wash the black off his ears." "And what did your mother say ?" ask ed the other. "Nothing. She looked a little sad around the mouth, tut she'll fetch him to it if it takes all Winter. He might as well come home and begin to learn how to burn cork." Detroit Free Press.

At si meeting of the Workingmau's Party lielJ December 2d, the following resolutions were adopted : Whereas' The -workingmen,. as citizens of California and of the United States, possess the inalienable right of free speech in public meeting assembled, for the purpose of setting forth and endeavoring to obtain a redress of the griev ances which threaten to overwhelm them ; andwliereas, the movement inaugu rated by them is for the welfare of the general public, and particularly to pre vent the white laboring man and mechanic and small farmer from being displa ced by Chinese coolies under the control of monopolists ; and. whereas, the work ingmen and their trusted leaders have been vilified, misrepresented and threat ened by the newspapers which advocate the'claims and defend the interests of the corporations and monopolists, as is evidenced by the extracts from the MORN ING CALL, here given : " The San Francisco Division of tho National Labor Party of California, an organization quite apart from the Kearney cut-throat crowd, have published a plat form and declaration of principles.' Call, November ?,. li When Ihieves and murderers combine together for the takiug of life and unlawfully appropriating other people's property, it becomes a necessity for com -muuities to organize for self-protection." CVf, November V. And, whereas, the workingmen have never contemplated any other inuusof redressing their grievances than proper and lawful ones, we hereby desire to de nounce their libelers and slanderers as the wort enemies of the labor tau.se-; therefoie, be it Jiesolred, That the MORNING CALL of San Francisco, which was built up by the patronage of workingmen and advocated the interest of labor while con trolled by journeymen printers, its former owners, has under its recent proprie torship become the organ and defender of corporations and monopolists; and is now UNWORTHY THE SUPPORT OF ANY LABORER OR MECHANIC who is opposed to the' supplanting of white labor by Chinese Slaves. Resolved, That from this time henceforth we, the workingmen of this city, will bv every means in our power rebuke. the TRAITOROUS CALL, which Las en.b-iivored to sell us out to our enemies, and that we will WITHDRAW onr SUBSCRIPTIONS and ADVERTISING PATRONAGE. Jiesolred, That we call upon all labor organizations throughout the State to follow our example and administer such a lesson to the journalistic hypocrite as will prevent a repetition of the treason.
