GuizOt as a Sportsman.
From Lippincott's Magazine


In the autumn of 1929 (eheu! Post
hume, how fugacious are the years y
there was numerous assemblage be,
meath the hospitable roof of General La
Fayette, at La Grange, ofFrench, Eng
hsh and Americans. Among the last
was this deponent, and among the first
was the then Professor Guizot, a grave
but not ungenial gentleman, who seem
ed to have got about midway upon the
journey of our life One morning the
chateau was III great commotion. There
was to be !gru11de chdsse. Guns and
dogs and huntsmen and sportsmen mus
tered in such slaughterous style that
terrible would have been the trepida-
ton of the intended victims could they,
have guessed what was going on. Gar
rufus Gauls do certainly know how to
make a fuss, and are always delighted
with much ado, even about nothing. 1
remember feeling quite confident, from
the stir, that we shonld perpetrate an
amount of murder which would almost
ELL our minds-that beasts and birds
would at least be beautifully bagged,
If not, perhaps, destroyed to wasteful
excess. Fair laughed the morn, and we
began the march in magnifcently
blithe array. Chance put me by the
side of M. GIizot and his son, a bow
only a few years my Junior. We blazed
about all day, and truth compels the
statement that rabbit and a couple of
caittes were all our evening prey. NY
popping was bad, that of the professor
wasn't better, and that of the youngest
wasn't the best. Fortunately, however,
none of the other parties had much
more to brag of, so that came to the
conclusion that chase might be grand
without being great. How much more
attentive should [ have been to the
words that dropped from my compan-
ions lips than to the birds that I hoped
to see drop before my gun, could I have
foreseen what future interest and value
they would possess! He was quite as
my bloodthirsty feelings at the time
could have wished; but even if he did
say anything worth remembering, it
certainly made no impression between
the conflicting sensations of aiming and
missing. Nevertheless, it is a satisfac-
ton now to look back and see the illus
trIous man in his shooting Jacket, with
more anxiety upon his philosophie face
IN regard to the result of his shot than
perhaps he ever exhibited as to the con-
sequences of an oratorial discharge-to
behold him with mental optic as "he
cooked his eye and gun" to quote the
translation of Ocul,tne teLst,,,-

An Important Change i'm Time.

From the Wayne County ILL.,, Press
The following letter discloses the
plan of Rev. d. B. Turney's new cal
endar, which will attract the attention
OF the thoughtful everywhere:
WOODBURY., MAcoUPN Co., I'LL,
December 18th, 1870.
MIR. ID. W. BARKLEY-1y Dear Sir,
Il thank you for your kind notice in
the Wayne County Press of nv new
calendar. 1t Is certainly to be desired
that each day of the week should fall
upon particular and regular day of
the month on each successive year. At
the same tune, it would be very diff
cult to secure the adoption of any cal
ander which would alter the solar cycle,
change the order of the months, or in
terfere with the general speculations of
our present almanac men. [ have been
at the pains to form a calendar Cbased
on what [ conceive to have been the old
ecclesiastical one of Moses) which does
not interrupt the present reckoning of
the solar cycle, and which does not
change the present arrangement of the
months, and which is, therefore, far
more likely to be adopted by 1872 than
any other calendar that has been de-
vlsed. Can [ succeed in the preparation
of calendar by which to have each
particular day of the week fall upon a
stated day of the month on each sue
cessive year2 Those whom I consult
say no, that others of more ability as
chronologists have tried it.and failed.
All, however, admit the practical utility
of such calendar, if it can be made.
Lit gives me great pleasure, my friend,
to say to you, and through you to the
world in general, that I have been sue
cessful in my efforts in this direction.
The calculations in this new calendar
regulate 30 days to each OF themonths
except June and December. June,
however, 1T makes to consist of 80 days,
and December, ordinarily, of the same
number. This, L admit, would give
Tut 1854 days to the year, unless it were
arranged to have an extra week at GER
tam stated intervals. But, as may be
remarked, it is arranged for this. to let
December ordinarily have 80 days, but
every sixth, eleventh, seventeenth,
twenty-second and twenty-eighth year
OF the solar cycle, 80 days, and the diff
ficulty is adjusted The solar cycle is
said to be complete once in every
twenty-eight years Under our present
arrangement of time, then, we have
IL, 227 days in a full solar cycle. The
adjustment of my new calendar gives
the required 10, 227 days for the solar
cycle, and yet keeps so arranged that
definite day of the week will annually
recur upon a particular day of the
month. In the following table, which
you recently published for me, if
adopted by 1872, 1 arrange for all the
dates herein mentioned to annually re-
cur on Monday, in the manner specified
