To mention but two, we might name the almost complete evolution of our definition as to what constitutes "Christianity"; and in material things, the use of electricity, which has worked such a revolution as even Jules Verne never conjured forth. Americans are somewhat given to calling our country "The Land of the Free" as if there were no other.
Verne, who is in a sad state of physical prostration. The financial storm which overhung his daily prospect has at last swooped down upon him in merciless fury, hurling down every hope that hitherto buoyed him up and whispered encouraging words as he struggled on. Mr. Verne had shut himself in his private apartments and asked that he might be left alone.
Ah! it's nothing but uncertainty." "Listen to me Stephen; the quiet of the hour prompts me to say something which I have been thinking of for some time past it is of Mr. Lawson." "Yes," said Mr. Verne, in a manner that seemed to say that he knew what was coming, "he is a worthy young man!" "Worthy, did you say, Stephen? There is no words in the English language sufficient to speak his praise.
This struck from all three allusions to Edgar Poe and Jules Verne, and such platitudes as naturally rise to the lips of the most intelligent when they are talking against time, and dealing with a new invention in which it would seem ingenuous to believe too soon; and the question of the telephone carried them safely back to the big house.

In ten minutes they all stood safe and sound before the astonished eyes of the spectators. Cosmo had suffered from the confinement, and he sank upon a seat, but De Beauxchamps seemed to be the most affected. With downcast look he said, sadly shaking his head: "The poor Jules Verne!
"Eve, dearest, I know you are disappointed in not going out this evening, and I am sorry; can you not believe me?" Evelyn Verne was a beauty beautiful as an houri, imperial as Cleopatra, but merciless as a De Medicis. She was a true woman of the world; self was the only shrine at which she worshipped; and if indeed she could feel a momentary sympathetic chord, surely Marguerite was the cause.

He was almost torn to pieces by his friends, for the brave fellows were so overjoyed at the sight of him, that in spite of his weak state, none of them would be satisfied without V.
