A Night of Horror.
THE CHARLESTON ‘EARTHQUAKE AND 1fiTs tZRRORS GRAPHICALLY PICTURED BY AN “DITOR.
While engaged in his usual duties in the second story room of the News and Courier office at the time of the first shock, the writer’s attention was vaguely attracted by a sound which seemed to come from the oftiee below and which was supposed for a moment to be caused by the rapid rolling of a heavy body, as an iron safe ora heav- Uy laden truck over the floor. Accompany ing the sound there was a_ perceptible tremor of the building, not more marked, however, than would be caused by the pas- sage of a street car or dray along the street. For perhaps two or three seconds the occur- rence excited no surprise or comment. Then by swift degrees, or perhaps all at once—it is difticult to say which—the sound deepened in volume, the tremor became more decided, the ear caught the rattle of window sashes, gas fixtures and other loose objects. The men in the office, with perhaps a simultaneous fiash of recol- lection of the disturbance of the Friday before, glanced hurriedly at each other and sprang to their feet with startled questions and answers,
A FEARFUL SHOCK.
What is that’ Earthquake? and then all was bewilderment and confusion. Then the long roll deepened and spread into an awful roar that seemed to pervade at once the troubled earth and the still air above and around. The tremor was now a rude, rapid quiver that agitated the whole lofty, strong walled building as though it were being shaken by the hand of an immeasur- able power, with intent to tear its joints asunder and scatter its stones and bricks abroad, as a tree casts its ripened fruit before the breath of the gale. There was no intermission in the vibration of the mighty subterranean engine. From the first to the last it was a continuous jar, only adding force at every moment, and as it approached and reached the climax of its manifestation it seemed fora few terrible lseconds that no work of human hands lequld possibly survive the shock. The | flodrs were heaving under foot, the sur- lrounding walls and partitions visibly
lswayed to and fro, the crash of falling
masses of stone and brick and mortar was heard overhead, and witheut the terrible roar filled the ears, and seemed to fill the mine and heart, dazing perception, bewil- dering thought, and tor a few panting breaths, or while you hoid your breath in dreadful anticipation of immediate and cruel death, you felt that life was already past, and waited for the end as the victim with his head on the block awaits the fall of the uplifted axe.
A RUSH FOR THE STREET.
As we dashed down the stairway and out into the street already on every side arose the shrieks, the cries of pain and fear, the prayers and wailings of terrified women and ehildren, commingled with the hoarse shouts of excited men. Out in the street the air was filled to the height of the house with a whitish cloud of dry, stifling dust from the lime and mortar of the shattered masonry, which, falling upon the pavement and stone roadway, had been reduced to powder. Through this cloud, dense as fog, the gas lights flickered dimly, shedding but little light, so that you stumbled at every step over the piles of brick or beams en- tangled in the lines of telegraph wires that depended in every direction from their broken supports. On every side were hurrying forms of men and women bare- headed, partially dressed, some almost: nude, and many of whom were crazed with fear or excitement. Here a woman support- ed, half fainting in the arms of her husband, who vainly tries to soothe her while he carries her into the open space at the street corner, where present safety seems assured; there # woman lies on the pavement with upturned face and outstretched limbs, and the crowd passes her by for the time, not pausing to see whether she be alive or dead.
eae ST ee The Great Seal of England.
The mere holding of the great seal of England entitles the fortunate custodian to some £12,000 a year, to immense patronage in Church and State, to be Speaker in the House ‘of Lords, a Privy Councillor, and the head of all judicial authority in the kingdom, to be designated Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, and keeper of the royal conscience, and to rank (next the 9}/royal family) the second subject in the realm. It is very difficult, if not impossi- ble, to say when England first had a great seal. Seals were not much used by our Anglo-Saxon ancestors, but came largely into fashion during the Norman reigns. The gilt roses, or marks of Edward the Confessor and other Saxon kings, can searcely be called seals, and partook more of the character of signatures of an illiterate age ; buta grand and perfect seal of Wil- liam the Conqueror exists, having the monarch crowned and throned on the one side and mounted on horseback on the other—attitudes which have been invariably observed to the present day. One remark- able circumstance connected with the great seal is its progressive growth in size as time advanced. Originally, eight hundred years since, not larger than the top of au ordinary modern teacup, it has been gradually en- larged from age to age, till it offers now the size and appearance of a muftin, and re-
quires to be enclosed in atin box for pro- cumbrous and un-
tection. Indeed, se wielk ly’ had the great seal become that some {three or four years since an Act of Parlia-
ment was passed ~eontaining very extraor- dinary prov isions—directing that al! the
and many, even, of the more impor
it, suould fe or | the future be authenticated by & pape! we‘er. of moderate size, which should be guuumed on the instrument, and be deemed seal itseit. Ti,
great seal has only three times been lost-— twice temporarily and once permanently. James IL.,

abdication, threw the seal into the Thames, whence, howev er, it was next morning fished up and brought to Whitehall. Lord Eldon buried it in his garden in Queen Square during one night when his house caught fire, as he thought im the confusion it might be stolen. ** And,” writes the Chan- cellor in his diary, *‘ when the fire was ex- tinguished | quite forgotin the morning where Thad baried it, and while the carriage
waited so take me to court, imy lady and 1 and all the household were digging with pieces of stick till we luckily found it,’ Lord Thurlow, who always kept it during the night in his bedroom, had _ it actually carried off by burglars, from whom it was never recovered. A Privy Council was called the next day, a new seal was rapidly made, and during the remainder of his continuance in office Lord Thurlow in- variably deposited it of a night under his pillow. Down to 1818 the great seul itself was made of copper; since then silver has been the metal employed. It is in two halves, something like two very thick bright saucepan luis fitting closely together, their inner surfaces deeply sculptured with the royal devices intended to be formed on the wax when squeezed between them. In- struments having a limited duration are sealed with yellow wax. Others, supposed to exist in perpetuity, such as paients of peerage, &c., are exemplified under green wax, and in the case of some letters patent, likely to be exposed to a great deal of Knocking about or journeying from place to place, such as were the assize commis- sions, the wax seal was stamped after being ingeniously enclosed in cream colored leather.

Smith on Earthquakes,
HOW THE MONTREAL ASTRO-METEOROLOGIST ACCOUNTS FOR THE RECENT TREMBLINGS THE SUN AND MOON TO BLAME-—WHY FROSTS FOLLOWED. for the recent Montreal Herald Smith, the
**How do you account earthquakes’” asked a representative of Walter H. astro-rneteorologist, recently. ‘*‘Vory easily. I find the cause in Sun- day's eclipse—the ecliptic conjunction of the sun and moon, which was a partial one over the Eastern and Southern States, total over Central America, the West Indies, the middle Atlantic and South ‘Surely that could not cause an quake in Nort America?”
“Whi not? But listen to my theory, and perhaps you will be less credulous. A long course of study has led me to the con- clusion that groai disturbances take place almost invariably at such positions as those of Sunday. ‘he difficulty is to exactly lo- cate them beforehand, that is, where the
earth-
effects will be worse. Tust before the eciipsc we heard of earthquakes and vol-
canic activity east, followed by great storms, earthquakes and killing frosts ou this con:
tinent. The frosts were just as much a resultant of the eclipse as the earthquakes and magnetic storms.
The influence of the sun and planets on
each other is magnetic. Disturb existing conditions and the harmony is broken. Disaster results. When the earth was
younger she more readily responded to the magnetic influences of her sister orbs ; then it was possible to produce a deluge, such as we read of in Genesis. The old mother is feebler now, and can but more feebly re-
spond. When she fails to tremble at the forces exerted without it will go hard with man. On Sunday last, | contend, the sua and moon commenced to draw towards the equator the atmosphere, which was rapidly pied up along the path of the moon's shadow. A great rush of air took place, with destructive thunder aud wind storms. Thousands and thousands oi tons of extra air was gathered over the Atlantic. The deuuded continent, its usual pressure re- moved from the surface, sought a vent for the gases, perhaps fires, pent up beneath it. The weakest spots yielded to the pres- sure, and the earthquakes south and south- west were the results. The flow of air south would also have another effect. Its place had to be filled by the icy atmosphere of the upper regions, which swept down, and the low barometer changed to a period of high pressure. The result was killing frosts urthe,Northwest. This latter result was exactly in aceord with my printed fore- easts, and in direct opposition to the pre- diction of a Kansas weather man, who said there was no ‘danger of early frosts this
fall,’ and that ‘the summer would be in- tensely hot until October.’ ” A A — fonsumpiion Can be Cured,
Not by any secret remedy, but by proper healthful exercise, and the judicious use of Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil and Hypophosphites, containing the healing and strength-giving virtues of these two valuable specifics in their fullest form. Prescribed aniversally by physicians. ‘Take no other.
The jumping cranks who yisit the Brook- ly Bridge will jump no more from that structure. The result is attained by con- necting the wires of the bridge with a dy- name and charging them w ith electricity. When a person seizes the wire to climb up on the parapet he suddenly receives a mild shock, and when he attempts to withdraw he find himself held fast until released by the police. The only device yet to be ad- ded to this invention is a method by which the police station will be informed at once of the spot on the bridge to which the prisone? is attached.
