ARrICULArION.-A writer in the North Amer
lean Review says: "As regards articulation.
the Americans, we think, have a natural ad-
vantage over the English in a superior delicacy
Of structure Of the vocal organs. Very many
Engiisamea apparently have to contend with
thick and unmanageable conformation Of the
orgaGfof speech, which occasions the spIutter
ing aud m9uthing 50 common in their public
speaking. That the Americans have great
natural facility for clear and fine articulation,
Is shown by the readiness with which they ac
quire the pronunciation Of foreign tongues.
and by the fact that, with proper early train
Ing and care, they do attain to remarkable
grsce Of utteranee. 1t still remains true that
very much more importance is attached 10
articulation in England than here, that more
pains is taken in training the young to habits
OF clear utterance, and that on the whole the
English is more conscientiously articulated by
educated persons in England than by the same
class u this country. We mean by this to say,
that uhe consonan,s are more distinctly and
duly uttered that, for instance, SHRINK and
shrine would not. as with us, be softened into
srINkmd srius, suggest into suf,est, arms
into 2fPas- On the other hand, there is q tend.
eneyfn this country to more distinct syllsbi-
cation and more marked secondary accent in
long words. The English say 'int'rsting,
'cir INST nee, 'diction'ry, tripping lightly oy 81
all the syllables after the accent, srticuiating
plainly all the eOnsonsnts, but almost elimi,
mating the voweIs, while we put q secondary
accent -on the penultimate syllable of Ions
words, and give to the other as much stress q.
to unaccented syllables in short words IL i,
this Psculiarity which brings upon American,
the SAArge Of drawing, and which occasion,
the lemark Of foreigners that they can under.
standssa American more easily than an Eng

Exciting Scene Among the Roman CaraI-
nals-The Last Ballot for the Present
Pope.
Edmund About, in his Question Romano.
graphically depicts this scene:
The qu@stors who were to open the voting
tickets were Cardinals Mastai, VapniceIi1
and Fieschi. The opening of the Enclosures
commenced. Cardinal Fieschi read each
name in loud voice. Not a breath dis
turbed the silence. The eyes of the ffty-
one electors were Tivetted on the lips of the
reader. The name OF Cardinal Mastai began
to resound. No attention was paid TO The
first few votes, but when the same name re-
CURED for the tenth time, when it was heard
for the twelfth time and for the fifteenth
accompanied by q smile from Cardinal
Fieschl and the joyous looks of the Feform-
ing Cardinals-ail eyes turned toward that
man, who, pale as a London day, and tremb-
ling, opened the tickets and passed them on
to be read by Cardinal Vannicelli. The lat
ter somber and brooding, passes them on to
Cardinal Fieschi.
The name of Mastai resounded for tho
twentieth time. then twenty-five times are
counted; then thirty. Mastai spoke no more
He stood motionless. At the thirtieth time
he sat down and begged Cardinal Fieschi TO
cease speaking. Mastai feared he might be
overtaken with an attack of epilepsy. But
the Cardinal, on the contrary, continued to
raise his voice with more and more solem-
nifty, more and more emphasis. At the
thirty-third vote Mastai Feretti sank down
in swoon. 1t was the number OF votes re-
quired for the election of the Pope. The
counting went on, however, to thirty-six.
Mastai had swooned upon the tiaral

said, in his NGapoltau patois: "Heml what

The Origin of rrusauetoes.

These pests OF summer, says the Scientific
american, proceed from animacules, com
monty termed wigsle-tails' If bowl of
water is placed in the summers sun for a few
days number of wiggle-tailsn - will be
visible, and they will continue to increase in
size till they reach three-sixteenths of an
inch in length, remaining longer at the
surface as they approach maturity, seeming
to live on influences derived from the two
elements of air and water finally they will
assume chrysalis form, and, by an increased
specific gravity, sink to the bottom of the
bowl. A few hours only will elapse when a.
short tuTze or hair will grow out on every
side of each, till it assumes the form of a
minute caterpillar. Its specific gravity be-
ing thus countoracted it will readily float to
the surface, and be waited to the side of the
bowl by the slightest breath of air. In a
short time fly will be hatched and escape,
leaving its tiny house upon the surface ofthe
water.
Any one who has had cistern in the yard
has doubtless observed the same effect every
summer, although he may be ignorant oftbe
simple and beautiful process of develop
ment. If a pitcher of cisteTn or other water
containing these animalcula is placed in a
close room over night, from which all
musketoes have been excluded, enough
musketoes will breed from it during the
night to give any satisfactory amount of
trouble. In fact, standing by shallow, half
stagnant pool, on a midsummers day, the
full devOlopement of any amount of " "wiggle-
tails to the musqueto state can be witnessed
and the origin ofthese disturbers of nights
slumbers thus fully ascerIained.

A THOROUGH SELF-MADE MAN--Adpsnture-
some life of an NJ P.-Mr. VIM. S. Lindsay,
NJ. p, now in this country as volunteer
diplomatist, was born at Ayr in Scotland,
and was left an orphan at six years of age;
left home at the age of fifteen, and worked
his passage to Liverpool on steamer; slept
for seven long weeks in the streets and sheds
OF that city, and at length started on three
years sailors life as the cabin-boy of a West
Indiaman. His trials were not over He
was shipwrecked, and had both legs and one
arm broken. At the age of nineteen he was
in command of the Olive Branch when, in
1889, in the Persian Gulf he was assailed
and cut down by saber, and, to save him
self, killed his assailant with pistol shot.
He left the sea the next year. and in l84I
became agent for a coal company.
Mr.. Lindsay, in l945, moved to London,
and commenced the business which made
him one of the merchant princes of that great
city. In 1852 he owned twenty-one frst-
class ships, insured risks to the amount of
$4,000,000 while the house, of which he was
the head, chartered 7O0ships, chiefly to India
and the Mediterranean. Thus had the
emigrant from Ayr become one of the largest
ship-owners and ship-brokers ofthe kingdom.
Mr.. Lindsay tried TO get into Parliament
in 1897, but corruption and aristocratic in
huence defeated him. In 1854 he was elected
for Tynemouth,, by the meager majority or
seventeen, and in 1857 was elected without
opposition. He is now forty-four years Of
age.

A FnvOrite Author Personal Description
OF Hans Christian Andersen.


A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Saturday EOening Post gives the following
sketch of a favorite author with a host of
American readers:
AT the Golden Eagle we also found one
whose name is household word" in
thousands of homes on both sides os the
Atlantic-Hans Christian Andersen be
loved of children, for whom he has written
so many exquisite stories. NJ. Andersen
looks to be about fifty years of age; is very
tall, fair, rather thin, of very simple, gentle
manly bearing, with long, placid, benevo-
lent face, that seems to be always on the
point of breaking out into smile, large
white teeth, clear, blue, child-like eyes,
light hair, and an absence of beard and
whisker. He spends his summers-in long
frock coat, lavender kid gloves, and his in
separable umbrella under his arm--in wan
dering leisurely through the loveliest por-
tons of Switzerland and Italy, visiting old
friends, making new ones, and filling his
mind with the noblest and loyeliest imagery
Of nature. After which he turns his steps
to his northern home, and adds some new
tale to the long list Of charming creations
which have made his name so pleasant a
sound to his readers. Though one of the
kindest and most affectionate of human
beings, M. Andersen is not only unmarried,
but is believed TO have never been in love.
He is universal favorite, and his heart has
been invaded and taken possession of by
such numbers of appreciative and,affection-
ate friends, of both sexes, that he seems to
have found it impossible to give himself up
to any more exclusive sentiment. He is 4
great admirer of the scenery of Lake Luz
cerne, and comes every year to the Golden
Eagle, for whose owners he processes great
regard.
