1 tabulated my results, thre them into the iorm of a curve, ana was surprised to hod that there had ocaarred a great outbreak about every seventeen years, and that these outbreaks took place alternately at maxima and minima of sun spots. Certainly the sun spots could not have produced tbe cholera, for there was a great outbreak when the spots were very plentiful, and the next when they were very few. Bat that there was a connection 1 felt convinced, ana eiso tnas. tney were ootn in tne na rare ox eueets. i snesestea in a naner on the subject I read at the time before the Royal Historical society that the cause would probably be found in the influence ot the planets, and their ap proacn to tne sua.

mere were minor outbreaks that I could not explain: but I left sufficient oonfidenca in my result to state (see Nature, May, 1S72) that, there had been great outbreaks in 1816 17, I8S2 S4, 1848 50, 1S63 7, we might confidently expect the next in 1833 4. I left r.he subject for seven years. Meanwhile I worked at the subject of sun spots, and was rewarded by hading that the average period for tbese phenomena, for magnetic storms and for aurora period was 119 years, the period of Jupiter's anomalistic year, and that these phenomena were always least when Jupiter was nearest the sun. I then turned to terrestrial magnetism, and found that the needle of the compass, which at London was moving east up to 1580 and west till 1S16, and east ever since, follows the movements of a strong magnetic pole which Sir James Boss found in Boothia, but which now, I hold, traveled west to Prince Albert Land, and has moved at such a rate that it will complete its revolution round the pole of the earth in about 500 years. Oa examining the accumulated evidence in regard to the dip of the needle, I found that the magnetic pole must be in the atmosphere over the place where it appears to be in the earth.

In the midst of this work a little incident ooonrred which induced me to w.te to the registrar general for the number of deaths in England for the last forty years, which he kindly ssnt me. I immediately found that what I suapaoted was true that the number of deaths ir England was greatest, on an average over the whole period, every six year. I threw te numbers into the form of a curve and under it placed theou'verepre ttented by Jnpiteis orbit during tbe sinus period, and found that whenever Jo pi ter was at two points equally diataut from his nearest point to the sun (correspond iEg to our September ard March) the deaths in England were greatest. (A. abort paper on tbe snbjact will appear in the next number of the proceedings of the Statistical Society.) If this is true for England it should be trie for the a in rate of the world.

Oa exaaaiaing the curve for cholera over the world from 1816 to 1871, which I drew out seven years ago, I found tbat. this held good. I am at present engage 1 in examining the death rate of the world for the last forty years as far as possible. The outbreak of plague directed my attention to that subj act. I examined a magnetio chart of the world and found tbat the lines of no declination (L e.

the lines whioh indicate where the neadle points to true north and therefore the lines in which the greatest magnetio po er is manifested) are advancing west at the average rate of about one seventh of a degree annually, over the regions which are the present epidemic stricken quarters of the globe Kussia. Persia, United States, Brazil and Western China. As the magnetic poles advaioe these lines advance, and epidemics on man and beast accompany them. On 'calculating baok I find that the line whioh is now passing across Kussia must have passed over that region 5000 years ago. This will take na back to the middle of the fourteenth century, and with similar magnetio conditions we have the same epidemic the Black Ddath.

We know that plague devastated Europe more or lees for the next two centuries, culminating in the great plague of London in 1065, and curiously enough just at the time when a line of no declination was advancing over England. It occurred to me that Neptune might be the cause of the movement of the magnetio pole. On examining the movements of tbe planet in its orbit. I found that those of the needle varied in accordance with those of that planet while it makes three revolutions. The magnetio poles make an eccentric circle round the pole of the earth this eccentricity I found was due to the influence at a maximum of eighty years.

Oa examining the movements and position of ran us. I found tbat hey were noh aa to aooount for the ar omaly. I bave full? detailed the subject in a paper I sent to the Boyal Astro noaical Society they have aunounced it whether bave the courage have it read is another matter. 1 nave, no much ot your space that I will not; go into other curi or points, especially some relating to tbe atmospheric cbaogo whi Muses alsgne, and a possible remedy.

ho lonjt si JtrvrJi th i vi nenuo uassor wiui vmuoLuio jjilo ues; bo Jong as greedy professional speculators lurk in ambush for stage struck victims, the sickly farce will be repeated. Only in he dear school of experience will 'bese poor fools learn that something more than a fancy for theatricals or the ceesity of earning a livelihood is necessary to insure even a email msdioam success on the stage. An attractive face, abundant and beautiful hair, a fine figure, a sweet voice all these are most desirable adjuncts but without natural aptitude and unlimited capacity for hard and humble work, they are not worth a rap to the aspirant who would spiing from obscurity and penury to the applauee and diamonds'' of the saooess fnl "star." Henoe it is, no doubt, that somebody or other has got to pay handsomely for Miss Martha Farefield's present masquerading at the Olympio Theatre. Consider the Items of this little bill rent of bouse; pay of ticket clerk, treasurer, business manager and attaches generally advertising in newspapers and by posters, lithographs, salaries of mu tioianB, and, by no means least, the demands of professional actors, who ought to be paid double for trying to support an amateur with less action than a stick and about as little idea of stage requirements as a baby. Manifestly the play going public are not going to contribute much towards settling the account, and there is no money in tbe traditional beggarly array." It is not likely tbat tbe debutante has a very long private purse.

Who, then, pays the billt It is one of the mysteries of the stage not to be sounded too deeply in the interests of society it might not bear investigation. It is enough to know that these "first appearances on any stage" are not made largely on credit. If anybodi'a pocket book gets stepped on it ought to teach them batter, but such are learned with remarkable reluctance. Miss Farefield, according to the programme, plays "Evadne," supported by a first class company, selected with gi eat care and attention, whioh will be lonod to be one of the most talented and efficient in the city. The programme lies epregiously.

Miss Farefield does not play Evadne or anything else. She simply preaches like a good Methodist sister in a conference meeting and exhibits some dresseB, tbe makers of whioh are duly advertised in the programme. She doesn't even do so much well, for half her words are wallo wed in heartrending gaeps and the long trains give her infinite bother. When she should be tearing about the stage like a mad woman the moves slowly with woodeny clamsi iit ss before beginning ber sermon. 8ae holds her square shoulders so straight tbat there is a constant feix she miy tumble over backwards.

Thebareit elements of elocution are a sealed book to her; inflection and emphasU are all awry Bhe doss not seem to sense what ibe is avisg. but reels oil her lines with tbe colorless expression of a boy repeating his catichism. Her gesticulation is xitonizingly erode her arms revolve with bo graoecf a windmill. There is no stage fright, no timidity, no laok of self pas fcetbiou, the performance is simply, hose iy, ntteily, bad. There in ziut a redeemingfrasnre not one microscopic peg upon whioh to hang a hope or the lutare.

J. B. Studtey as Lvdovico, FiankTamehill as Colonna, LoaisBjrrett kj icentio, and J. B. Browne as the A'ing are all reputable aotara, but how au they typify the passionate love they are all supposed to feel, with such an Li cdne to stimulate their emotions? 1'le farce is worse than ridiculous it is ah outrage on the commnnity.

Some of tbe critics damn Miss Fra tt Id with faint praise more half ap3lo idze, with false gallantry, for lt her presumption in fitting terms. To encourage such efforts in any degree is brutal cruelty, mere can be no apology xor them, laej are an insult to a decency ana common sense. A spark talent maytbe fanned flame, but no gloss of flattery can make gold oat of pinchbeck. The animated chess performance, given under the auspices of the Manhattan Chess Clnb, at the Aoademy of Mosic laet night, was charmingly successful. The audience was in every respect a compliment to the proprietors of ihe entertainment.

After the overt ire to Nabuco," by the Marine Baudot the U. S. steamer Minnesota, the cortain rose open an exquisite tableau, representing a Prince playing for his sool with Mephistopheles. Behind the players, who were seated in the autre of the stage on a raised platform, was Caissa, the Goddess of Chess, robed in white and holding a silver shield emblazoned with a lion couchant. Oa either side stood theMase of History and Music, and grouped about the central figures were the richly costumed "pieoes" of the games to follow.

The band played Gungl's "Immortelle" waltz, and the Grand Marshal announced the opening of the great game of the evening. Two heralds and two criers advanoed to the footlights, saluted in courtly style with their swords, and then took their positions at tbe side and back of the board. Tbe band struck up a march, and the pieces marched to their squares. The pawns marched down the oentre and arranged themselves under the direction of tbe pursuivants. Then eame a blare of trumpets from tbe heralds, announcing the coming of tbe Kings and Qaeens.

When all was in readiness for the contest. Col. John K. Fellows introduced the real olayeis, Capt. Mackenzie and Eagene Delmar.

with a brief and neat speech, iie costumes were red and gold and blue titid silver. The kings were dressed like Charlemagne and wore massive crowns, while the queers woie costumes of the same period, rionly ornamented with eld and silver, and had coronets on their heads. The bishops were arrayed in full unonicala, with mitres and The koights were armed cap a pie. and atried pikes. The rooks had castellated hats, and carried staffs surmounted with miniature castles.

Sixteen beautiful girls of nearly uniform height represent ea the pawns, aud wore Amazon cos tnmes with gold anl silver helmets, fbields and spears. The scene was dazzling and spirited to an intense degree 18 tne game progressed. As only two minutes were allowed for each move, there were no tedious waits, the chang fit uiecrs giving a distinctly kaleidoscopic fleet. At his thirtieth move i. t.

Mackenzie called checkmate, chos tbe gaite io one hour. IVn games followed, with musical io designated as tbe "Atalanta 'M" problems. In the first tbe iovfs on the winning side were all mad ny tbe qneen, to the number of eleven. a.t the nolnsion of the second, in seven mot tb. pieces stand in the form ot be letter M.

Between the problems, the celebrated game plyed by Paul Morphy in Paris, in September, 1858, by many considered the most brll Uant on reoord. waa presented.

Emma Tburoby, who used to slug in Dr. Chspin's church, in this eity, has met with remarkable suocess as a eon cert singer in Paris. She went there unheralded acd almost literally unknown. Immediately alter her first appearance she was offered engagements by the managers of both the Grand Opera and Opera Comique. As she means to 00 fine her career to concert singing, the cflerB were declined.

The Parisians regard her as a marvelous artiste and the newspapers are unusually enthusiastic in ber praise.

M. iuw in which as a gnec he had died was viaitett by his many sorrowing iiit cde, and during Easter morning any people called at tbe bouse to take a last look at the face which 1 a life they bad always been so glad to uct. Most of them were military men who either loueht with Gen. Tat lor or against him in tbe civil war.

The remains lay inclosed in a very plain, cloGh covered cattiiet. and the only fl jrai tribute to be seen was a beautiful crescent shaped figure, made of violets and immortelles, which bsd been ordered by telegrapi by some of Gen. Taylor's relatives in New Orleans, tbe 'Crescent City." 1 1 appears that Gen. Taylor was averse to Laving any diBplay whatever at bis funeral, and expressed a desire before he died that everything ho aid be done in the simplest manner poaabie. rms folly agTeed with the wi9n ot his slater, Mrs.

Dandridge. Numerous floral ofler irgswere sent to Mr. Barlow's house, however, but they were all kept out of sight in the room up stairs where the bouy was first laid oat, with the exception ot the crescent. That alone was allowed to be placed on the coffin, and even tbat was left behind wheu the re ma" na were removed from the ho see and ken 10 the churth. The only bit oi 01 namei on the plain black oasket was silver plate tacked to tbe lid and bear i the inscription: "Richard Taylor, ci April 12, 1879, aged 53 years."

Houghton, who, walking before tbe remains, began to read from the burial service, "I am the resurrection and the life," while a solemn dirge came from the organ. The casket was set in tbe middle of the central aisle, just before the chancel, and the pall bearers took the front paws which had been reserved for them. The church was decked in its Easter orjaments of flowers. There waa a wonderfully rioh display of lilies about the altar, but oare was taken by the reotor 1 to bave the whole burial services performed outside the chancel, away from the floral decorations.

The burial anthem was sung by tbe choir and the hymn Bock of Ages elef forme," and the baritone sang in solo I heard a voice from heaven." As the ooffin was being removed from the church the choir sang Lord thou letteat now thy servant depart in peace." The coffin was not opened after leaving Mr. Barlow's house. After the service the procession reformed and passed down Madison Avenue to Twenty third street, thence to Fourth Avenue and down to Second street, where the iron gates of the little Marble Cemetery were standing open. The coffin was deposited temporarily in tbe family vault of Mr.

D. L. Withers, of this city and of New Orleans, where it will be allowed to remain until its removal for transmittal to its final resting plaoe in the Crescent City. An autopsy of the body was made by Drs. Flint, Barker and Smith, on Friday night, when it was found that the hepatic arteries and veins oontalned deposits 01 calcareous matter.

The Alleged Jewett Movement. New York World. Zakesviixb, Aprd 13. An interesting phase of the Presidential question of 1880 is beginning to loom up, as the phrase goes, in this neighborhood. It is proposed to press the Hon.

Geo. M. Jewett in the State Convention on the 4th of June as a oandidate for the office of Lieutenant Governor, with an eye to the eventual nomination for the Presidency of tbe Hon. Hugh J. Jewett, President of the Erie Railway.

Mr. Jewett served as a member of Congress for Ohio with distinction, and it is understood to be the opinion of a number of leading railway men in this State and in New York that he could certainly carry both of thes?

A prominent New York journalist who occasionally supports the Democrats is cited here as pledging New York without a doubt to Mr. Jewett in 1880, as against either Mr. Tilden or Chief Justice Church.

An Interesting Question. Cincinnati jcnqulrer.1 Washington, April 17. Just before the House adjourned to day the Speaker presented a communication from the Adjutant General of the Army, inclosing a subpoena from the Judge Advosate of the Stanley Hszen trial, requiring Mr. Ferris Finch, File Clerk of the House, to appear before said court aud bring with him certain original papers, being tne testimony taken by tbe Military Committee of the House in 1872. This is the first time that a sabpeenatfuefs tecum has been served upon an officer of the House of Representatives, and an interesting question is to be determined whether toe papers called for shall be surrendered.

Springer had the whole subject referred to the Judiciary Committee for an early report. The constitution says that members shall not be questioned elsewhere for words spoken os acts done in their representative capacity. It is a question whether, this demand for pantrs is not an infringement of nis constitutional provision. It is also true that a witness testifying before a committee of Congress is protected from any criminal prosecution on asooant ot any testimony he may give. Now the question arises whether it would not be a violation of the well understood protection of a witness to surrender these papers.

The documents called for were taken in a matter when Gen. Hazen was being investigated. The testimony was never printed, and it is really one of the secret archives of the House. Springer thinks tbat if it should be used before tbe court martial, and it became aa important factor in the case, that the party aggrieved wouli have just oaue of complaint against the House for surrendering these papers. Besides, if these can be given up any witness might call it up as a precedent that he woild not be protected in bis testimony.

The Ju diciary Committee will probably report at once, as tne subpoena calls lor tne im mediate presence of the witness. limn wmi xnj iroi ajt ex. in buo I ran purvivor of Aneterlltz, has Just died, near Bordeaux, in hia 95th year.
