THE ELECTION.

there is 40 election OF governor By the
people; the COONCATS (ihis name

A passage occurs in Lieut.. Maurey's
.Physical Geography Of the Sea-" in which
he computes the effect Of single drop Of
rain falling upon the Atlantic Ocean. The
Atlantic includes an area Of twenty live
millions Of square miles. Suppose an inch
Of rain to fall upon only one.hith OF this
vast expanse. 1t would weigh, says our
.uthor, three hundred and sixty millions Of
tons; and the saltwhich as water, Il heldin
solution in the sea, and which, when that
water was taken up as vapor, was lett be-
hind 10 disturb equilibrium, weighed six.
teen millions more of tons. or nearly twice
as all the ships in the world could carry at
a cargo each. Il nigh, fall 10 an hour or
i, mirht failin day; but, occupy what time
il might in falling. this rain y caicniated TO
exert so much force--which is inconeeiva.
Div rreat-in disturbing the equilibrium OF
the ocean. II all the water discharged by
the Mississippi River during the past year
were taken up in one mighty measure and
cast into the ocean at one effort, It would
no, make greater disturbancein the equil-
ibrium OF the sea than the fall OF rain sup
posed. And yet so gentle are the opera
tons of nature that movements so vast are
unpereeiyed.
