The secret Of chinese C.rv,,y.

The means by which the concen,ric balls
which come from China can be carved one
within the other has long been matter Of dis
pute. No joining is to be discovered, but re-
cent traveller states positively that each ball is
constructed Of two pieces, the edges Of which
are so finely scraped down that the edge of one
hemisphere is made to overlap its counterpart,
with the greatest nicely Thusone ball la east
ly enclosed within another. The jennings are
then united by apeculiar strong cement, aided
by the employment Of steam and pressure. He
says that any one who wishes to make the ex-
pensive trial will soon ascertain the fact by APP
plying very powerful heat to one of these
balls. which will open at the joints in due time.

II is well known what disturbance was ere
ated Icy the great controversy between the Big.
endians and Little-sideians, on the important
question whether an egg should be broken at the
big endor the little end. Tie bitter controversy
between the Nominalists and the Realists on the
subject Of general IDEAS, whether, for instance
there could be an idea Of a horse independent Of
the idea Of every particular horse, once set all
Europe in fury. There are two or three con.
troyersles in our own day, which we should ike
to settle er oathedra, that no farther mischief
may be dene by them. One of the most import
ant Of these is the great question whether we
should say "the Miss Browns" OF ''the Misses
Blown" There is third side 10 this question,
which gives rise TO kind OF Aliddle-endian party
This party contend that there are no such per-
sons as the Miss Browns, OF the Misses Brown.
and that the only true application is the Misses
Browns. THIS opinion has not many supporters,
and We will leave them. The party of ''the
Misses Brown" contain most Of the magazine
winters, and those whose literary opinions have
been formed by them. Ii is probable that this
mode Of expression was imported from Paris
among the caps and ribbons with which that me-
tropols of fashion furnishes our milliners. Les
demOiselles BroKn, with the exception of the
proper name, is as French as the French reyolu.
tons. But as the French fashions in dress are
sometimes contrary TO good taste, so this French
mode of expression is contrary TO good English.
Those who wish 10 follow 'fhe good old way."
must say ''the Miss Browns" Goldsmith al
ways says "the Miss Famboroughs;' Miss
Edgeworh says "the Miss Browns" and Miss
Burney SAYS "the Miss Braughtons" French
Is very good in its place, AMI that is Pans; but
when We undertake 10 speak English, we like TO
speak English, and therefore, We shall follow
Goldsmith, and say "the NJ IS Browns" We
like to take our French and English separately,
according TO the principleof the gentleman who
refused TO take Epson Salts with his coffee.
This important question being settled, I'VE wish
to make remark or two on the pronunciation Of
word or two gentleman at table requested
his friend 20 help him to some tomatoes, giving
to the a the English sound which it has in fate.
"Why don't you say tonpahtoes9"
"Why don't you say pOtahtOes9"
The gentleman who asked for the tomatoes,
had authority and analogy on his side, though the
tomatoes were on the side of ais friend.
