ErrEcr OF TOO MUCH SPEAKING. We
find the following remarks in the auiobiog-
raphy of John Adams, which we commend
10 our public men who are so frequently in
the habit Of speech-making:
From all have read Of the history of
Greece and Rome, England and France.
and all have observed at home and abroad,
eloquence in public assemblies is not the
suresi road 10 fame and preferment, At least
unless it be used with caution, very rarely,
and with great reserve. The examples OF
Washington, franklin and Jefferson, are
enough TO show that.silenee and reserve in
public are more eficacious than argumenta
lion or oratory. A public speaker who in
serts himself, or is urged by others, into the
conduct of affairs, by daily exertions 10 jus
tify his measures, and answer the objections
Of opponents, makes himself too familiar
with The public, and unayoidably makcs
himself enemies. Few persons can bear to
be outdone in Eeasoning or defamation in
wit, or sarcasm or repartee or satire, and
all these things are very apt 10 grow out Of
public debate. In this way, in the course
OF years, q nation becomes full Of mans
enemies, OF at least, of such as have been
CALLED in some controversy, and take secret
pleasure in assisting 10 humble and moriify
him.

EIecirlciiy-CurIous Experimenls.

Electricity, as widely as il is diflused, and
powerful and active as its agency is in all
the operations Of nature, is yet scarcely any
better known in its causes and effects than
it was six thousand years ago. Modem
science has penetrated step or two into
the alcunuIn Of It's my stery, and the rorela-
lions have byen as astonishing as they arc
leaul.ul.
When Morse harnossed the lightning,
and madc it travel with The speed Of light,
as common courier, great aud important
hrst step was taken in the task of reducing
this wonderful agent to mans purposes, and
making it useful servant TO his wants.
Much yet Ienans to he discovered, but the
investigating miud secs in many of the mani
feslati0us Of electricity the practical and
useful purposes il may yet be applied to-
One Of the most beautiful and curious ex-
periments performed through its insirumen-
tally which we have seen, is that of light
ing gas wilhthe tip of the finger. This
experiment may be easily performed and
has been done by James Swain, OF this city,
repeatedly, in connection with the bsllings
Of the engine and shaflings of the press
room, and it is far more astonishing than
the spirit rapPidgs, which are setting so
many people crazy. Friction, ii is well
known, will produce electricity in certain
substances, and the friction of gutta per-
cha or common leather working belt upon
the Ay-wheel or pulleys of a steam engine
and shal(ings produces it in considerable
quantities. If person will insulate him
self by standing upon a board fixed upon
glass insulatois - common porter bottles
would answer-and hold an iron bar or a
number Of iron spikes in his hand, their
points almost touching the belt, he may, by
extending the opposite hand to gas-burner,
light it with the tip Of his finger as easily Us
with a match. He will feel a sensible
shock pass through him, Pricking sensa-
ton in his finger joints, and see brilliant
spark pass OF with a cracking sound 10 tho
gas-burEer. The electric fluid will pass
through several persons joining hands, the
same as with an electric battery, and tho
last may fre the burner. - PhiladelphiA

TN Coop OLD WI>rurs.-h 4Ol the
Bl-ck Sea was entirely frozen over. In
763, notNnly the Black SEA, but the Straits
Of Dasdan,llcs were frozen over; the snow
in some pnees rose fifty feet high. In S22
the great rivers Of Europe, the Danube, the
E.be, &c, we're SO hard frozen rs TO bear
heavy wagons for a month. In SEQ the
Adriatic was frozen In 99l everything
was frozen the crops totally failed, and
famine and pcstiianco closed the year In
1867 most of tie travellers in Germany
were frozen to death on the roads. In
1913 the Po Was frozen from Cremona to
the sea; the wine casks were burst, and the
trees split by the action of the frost, with
immense noise. In 1886 the Danube was
frozen to the bottom, and remained long in
that state. In l3lGihe crops wholly failed
in Germany wheat, which some years be-
fore sold in England at Is the quarter, rose
to f2. In 1889 the crops failed in Scot
land, and such a famine ensucd that the
poor WIRE reduced to feed on grass, and
many pe.ishcd miseraLly in the fields. The
successive winters of 1882 81 were un.
commonly severe. II once showed forty
days without interruption. In lIGs the
wine distributed to the soldiers in Flanders
was cut with hatchets In 1858 the winter
wa, excessively cold. Most of the holies
were killed. Coaches drove along the
Thames, the ice Of which was eleven inches
thick In 1909 occurred the cold winter /;
the frost penetrated three yards into the
ground. In l7l6 booths were erected and
fairs held on the Thames. In l714 and
l7i3 the strongest ale in England, exposed
to the air, was covered in less than fifteen
minutes with ice the eighth of an inch
thick. In 1909, and again in 1Sl2, the
winters were remai kably cold. In 1914
'hrIe was fair on the froz Thames.

DEcLv1TY OF RWERs-A very slight
daliyity sulhces to give the running motion
to watrr. Three inches per mile, in a
smooth, straight channel, give velocity of
about three miles an hour. The Ganges,
which gathers the waters OF the Himaiaya
mountains, the lohiest in the world, is, at
eighteen hundred miles fiom its mouth,
only about eight hundred feet above the
level Of the sea-that is, about twice the
height Of St. Paul's Church in London, or
the height Of Anhur's Seat, near Edinburg
and 10 fall these eight hundred feet, in its
long course, the water requires more than
month. The great river Magdalena, in
South Americas running for a thousand
miles between two ridges Of the Andes,
falls only Ave hundred feet in all that dis
lance. About the commencement Of the
thousand miles. it is seen descending in rap
ids and calaracls from the mountains. The
gigantic Rio de Ia Plata has so gentle de-
scent to the ocean, that in Paraguay, fifteen
hundred milesfrom lis mouth, large ships
are seen, which have sailed against the cur
rent al the way, by the force of the wind
alone--that is to say, which. on the LeauiI-
fully inclined plain of ihe stream, have been
gradually lifted by the soft wind, and even
against the current, 10 an elevation greater

PArlNG FOR A PArrR.-Th' Germantown
Telegraph very truly says; Except the
cash system is exclusively adopted and rig
idly observed, we know Of no business in
which its bills arc 80 difficult to COLLECT as
subscriptions to a newspaper. This is not
b cause subscribers are unwilling to pay,
but is principally owing to pure neglect
Each one imagincs that because his years
iudebtcdn ,ss is so small sum, the printer
surely cannoi be very badly in want oi ihai,
wilhon, tlinbins that the fruits ol his entire
business are made up Of exactly such linlr
sums, aud The aggregate OF all the sub,rri-
bers Is by no means an inconSiderablc sum

GEtNNrLL.-Thcsc are the names Of two
New York solf-made millionaries. One of
them builds, fits out ami sails ship across
The Atlantic and in the seas of Europe, at
an expense Of round million. The other
build-, fits out sud sends a ship to the Arc
tic seas, at a very great expense, though
probably not so great as that which is IN
CURED by the other. The one does il Tor
private ostentation and pleasure, TO make
perhaps the judicions gricye and the vulgar
stare. The other does it, not only to pro.
molesuscful discovery-but to aid in the
heaven-born work Of rescuing from the jaws
of death, if it be yet possible, one Of the no
best of that noble class Of men, n,-maritimv

NEw Prince Madog was the

discovered the New World. After his dis
coyery, he returned TO Wales for followers,
and sailed again, but never anerwa ds re-
turned. This was about the twcl1h ccn,u.

OF Wclch Indians has lately been discovered
