.sPoetry Of Motionn

The Boston Chronotype has the following
good hit at the present fashionable and indie cent
style Of dancing on the stage. II is from let
ter purporting to be from young lady to her
mother. We give the following extracts:
Last night we went 10 see the Ballet at the
Howard Atheneum. don't think you can
guess wha, a ballet is. Ma, Pm sure couldn't.
Il is dancing by a danstuse And Pm sure she
must have been used 10 it. thought il very
odd tbasra lady should cut such n figure as she
did sometimes and in fact pretty often.
But Uncle told me was wrong in supposing
her lady. She was fairy or some semi-an-
geic being, and her dancing was the ''poetry
of notion Well, confess if that is the poetry
Of motion, do not like the rhyme. could
very easy get into the notiou of the angelic ma
ture of the danseuse, il it were not for the said
what shall call it?--rhyme.
"Ma, do angels ever raise one leg half way
to their heads when they walk9 Do angels ev-
er kick up9 DID the graces ever kick up?
know what you will say. You will clap your
hand on my mouth, and say "Hush you chat
ter box"
swell, Dear Ma, you would be right. But
to tell you the truth, the dBncing was the pref
test ever did see, except the-,he rhyme.
| wished they had left that out. If am to
have the poetry of motion, let me hnve it blank
verse. But The Boston people differ from me I;
at least those who were there did, for they
capped nothing but the rhyme.
"Why the most beautiful stepping, and
bounding, and when she glded along almost
without touching the floor, they never applaud
ed AT all But when she undertook TO kick
the chamber-circle and could'nt-then what
humping of canes! Ma, conclude that the
good taste is not all in Boston, after all.

leading French Journal, doubts the truth
of much that has been said relative to this
alleged wonderful and important discovery. Ii
says
"The discovery attributed to NJ. Schoenbein,
by which that Professor is said to make cotton
Illuminating substance, is given to the world
in a singular manner and under circumstances
little calculated to inspire confidence. The
wonders Of the cotton powder are detailed in
the style Of a newspaper reporter, and its pro-
perties are represented as not only novel but
inconsistent with one another. 1t is worthy Of
remark, that NJ Schoenbein exhibited his ex-
Periments to persons who are wholly Ignorant
of science and that he carefully avoids any
demonstration to those who are capable OF
forming an opinion Ofihe merit of his discov-
