O, WHAT afALL-Nothing is real in
this vile world, and there is nothing
more deusive or insubstantial than the
promise Of human greatness. Oar idols
are continually falling about our cars,
our pure gold resolving itself into tie
bascst dross, and the ftuits Of our faircst
an!icipatlors turning TO ashes upon our
lips. All is vanity, and that continually
We really plumcd ourselves, a few weeks
since, that, if not the discovcrcr, we welc
at least privileged to lie the herald Of the
coming of Il new orator and poet, sort of
Demosthencs and Byron combined, WHO
was to win the world to virtue by the
magic of his tongue and the music Of his
Tyre. But alas, the god tha, WAS painted
to lis, is but low flung hind after all
Our readers will have guessed that we
have reference to one Warner Ncllis,
whose youthful promise correspondent,
some weeks since, could not too highly
commend, but who now lies IN Jail on Il
thirty days sentence for exhibiting Oh
scene pictures to young girls. He was
placed in DURANGO vile by Esq. lIovcy of
Quasqucton, on complaint of II. w. Adj
ans. On the score Of former indulgence
liz thc same way, he asked that the Sheriff
would regard his captivity as Of con-
structivc character, so that he mi ght he
icga''y in jail, but actually walking about
the streets. Sheriff Farr, however, is
very obtuse on sucl: points of construc-
tinn, and vigorously keeps the coming
orator and poet under lock and key.

DISTRESSING CASUALTY.
A Lady and Fer Child Terribly Burn
cd with TX roseNo

One of those appalling accidents result
ing from the Use Of kerosene, accounts OF
which form staple article of news now
days, happened in his-city last evening
to the wife and little daughter Of Capt.
NJ H. Sanford The circumstances, as
we derived them from q neighbor OF the
afflicted family, are these. Mrs. Sanford
was ironing, BY the light of common
kerosene lamp placed near the edge ofthe
table. In consequence Of one of the legs
OF the table being shorter than the rest,
it was blocked up. The child, four or
FIVE years Of age, was playing about the
room, and in the momentary absence OF
OF the mother, approached the table, and
by knocking out the blocking, Or in some
other way disturbed its equilibrium,
precipitating The lamp to the floor. 1t
broke, the oil ignitcd and Immediately
the child was envclopcd in flames. Mrs.
G. ran to save her child and the fire com

was alone i'll the house, with the eXcep-
ton of the little girland boy a few years
older Him she sent to the nearest neigh
Dor, Judge Roszell, AS it happened. the
Judge and Lis wife were 10th out, but
one of the family, a lad ran over to Mrs.
Sanford's, and seeing the situation Of af
fails, with great presence of mind slipped
quilt off the bed and wrapped it about
the burning mother and her child, thus
saving their lives. This done, lie cXtin
gu.shcd the fire on the carpet, which was
yet burning liercely.
The little girl is terribly burned, and it
it is doubtful if she survives. She is
burned on the face, arms, legs and body.
Mrs Sanford is not fatally burned, al
though the nails were burned off her fin
gers, and her arms and lower limbs are
very seriously injured.
Drs. Graham and Warnc we're summon
cd and are doing all that medical science
can suggest to relieve the sufferers. At
the time OF The accident, Capt. Sanford
was absent on lis regular duty as Postal
Clerk on the railroad. Our sympathics
go out to him and his in their terrible
afiiiction.

the man a fixed point, or moving body.
| suppose the man conscious Of motion,
how can it be determined when he has
moved around the squirrel, except he has
seen all sides of him? This he cannot do,
as both are moving at the same rate
Practically, as regards the question, both
are at rest. IF, in this case the squirrel
moves faster than the man, to the man,
the squirrel becomes q body turning up
on its own axis. Extend two parallel
straight lines to infnity; put two bodies,
| one on each line; if the rate is the same,
the distance between thcm can never va
ry Circumfercnccs of circles are inf
mite in extent; the man and squirrel are,
in effect, moving at tic same rate on the
same line, hence neither can move around
the other When bodies are at opposite
points, the line connecting them must be
shortened before one can move around
the other; this the man in the problem
cann0t do, hence he fails to move around
the squirrel. w. E. PARKER.

Ed. BuLLETIN:-I suppose you have

problem of the man and the squirrel from
the columns of your paper, considering
the views taken by the judges to whom
it was referred as final. If this is so,
checrfuliy acquesce. 1t seems to me
that the view you and Prof. Young ad-
vance is entirely correct, with this cx
ception, that do not think that the
illustration of the Professor of Amherst
College is parallel case when he says
that he SHOULD as soon think Of 1ucs-
tioning whether, if a man walks around
house, he walks around any person who
is moving about in the house" 1t is not
a similar CASE because the squirrel is
supposed to move round the outside of
the tree.
agree with you that the only logical
sequence of the position taken by the
first mentioned gentleman is, "that the
man not only goes around the squirrel,
but the latter also goes around the man.
But the first remark Of Prof Young, l
think should be considered as the most
automatically accurate; referring to
the precisely parallel case of a double
star; "More usually, however, they are
both said to rcvolve around their COM
mon centre of gravity, Or around any
fixed point in the line that joins them.

the consequence To stop this specu-
