SHORT PARAGRAPHS.

The Free Religious Association
made its addition on Monday to the
number of anniversaries in New York.
Mr.. rockingham described it in his
opening speech as a community 0fia-
dividuals having no creed to 'propa-
gate, differing much in their views,
but all seeking light. DIR. Erlanger
defended Judaism, and the Rev. Mr..
Jones spoke for Christian orthodoxy.
The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph says
that "a Jones county boy last year
took some of his fathers land, hired
two negroes, and pitched in to hard
work himself lie had forty-eight
acres in cotton, from which he gath
cred twenty bales, which sold for an
average of upwards of one hundred
d9llarS per bale, besides raising full
supply of corn. This year he is dOub-
ling his operations all round, and
counts upon prOpOrtiOnable results,
which we hope he Will realize. Such
young men as this will own the state
of Georgia after While.ps What an
example the foregoing is to the youth,
the young men of Tennessee.
-At recent meeting Of the State
Council of the Protestant Episcopal
Church of Virginia, the following pro-
test against ritualiSm was unanimous
~ agreed to: That the Diocese of Nir-
ginia, represented by this Council a. a
constituent part of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in the United States,
is animated by heartfelt love for the
Reformed Protestant Church OF our
fathers, by q sincere desire for its
purity and integrity, and by Just
sense of the injury which it suffers, in
common with others, when, in view
of the doctrines preached, and changes
introduced, In those churches com
monty called gitadiiStfc, of the Svs-
tematic omission or rejection OF its
constitutional name by some whose
aim seems to be to unprotestanize the
church, and of the disastrous effects
of these and other novel practices aud
teachings upon the peace and progress
of the Church, II does here record its
Solemn protest against the further toll
GRAFTON of such practices and teach
ings as being unlawful, perlous to the
unity of the Church, and hostile to
the Christian interest, and this COun-
ell reverently invokes the power of
the Holy Ghost to continue with and

Nj lister MOTLEYS WELC0AE--- HIS
SPEECH. srtltN5

LIVERPOOL, May 9l.-Mr. Motley,
the new Minister Of the United States,
received the addresses of the CHAM
bers Of Commerce at his hotel this
morning. In reply to that of the
American Chamber of Commerce, he
returned thanks for the welcome he
had received as the representative of
the United States. He said it was the
earnest hope and chief wish of Presi-
dents Grants Administration, and of
the people of America, to cultivated
faithfully, friendly and equitable rela-
tiOns with the Government and people
of Great Britain. The happiness of
the world, the advancement of civil
izatiOn, and the best hopes oil human
ity depended on the concord of all
branches of the human family, more
especially on that Of two leading ma
tions, both connected q by public and
personal interests, allied by blood, ad-
dicted to commerce and the cultiva-
ton of the arts of peace. Mr.. Motley
concluded as follows: "My most
strenuous efforts shall be to further a
good understanding on the basis ofen-
during friendship and kindly rela-
tions, in accordance with the great
principles or justice ana nonOr,
which are the immutable and only
safe, unerring gliidesin the conduct of
nations" In answer to the address
of the Liverpool Chamber OF, Conn
merce, 8Ir. Motley expressed his high
appreciation of their friendly sentiz
ments toward America, and insured
them that during the period of his
Office he should endeavor TO promote
good understanding between two ma
tiOns Of the same race, bound by a
unity of Interests hitherto unequaled.
The best and highest purposes of both
were fulfilled by faithful. friendship.
The American people and The Amer
lean Government desired amicable re-
lations with Great Britain, on the
basis Of Justice and -dispassionate re-
gard for the rights and duties OF. both.
1t was the earnest wish of America
to extend commerce, but the question
Of free trade was beyond the limits of
his functions, its settlement being
vested by the epeOple in Congress. -

We copy the preceding " funny calcula-
ton, =" which has been going the rounds in
respectable papers, to show how easily ignor-
ant people fall into absurd errors. The wri-
ter does not appear to know the difference be-
tween linear and cubic measure. He con-
trasts a man and locust by cubic measure,
and then deduces a calculation by changing
a solid to a line If he were consistent with
himself, a man to be like locust would be
heard not 10000 times as far, but only the
cube root Of l6,000-or only % times as far,
or about a mile and half. 4 noise Is heard
to a distance at which it shakes or Jars the
air,-not in a Darrow line, but in a solid
mass. 4 locust shakes a mass Of air one
eighth Of mile in diameter. lfa man could
shake mass three miles, or 81 times the dia-
meter, he would shake or jar mass about
l6,0 600 times as great in solid measure as the
locust. The same kind of calculation should
apply to the flea, and would reduce the pre-
ceding wild calculation TO very moderate pro
portions. If flea were made as large as
man, his weight would increase as the cube,
and he would probably be no stronger or more
agile than a man.-Couniry Gentiemoa.
