AYERS American Almanac is now
ready for delivery gratis, by Druggists
to all who call for IT,
Among the problems OF high science
which the Doctor presents in it, is the
startling assertion that the friction Of
the tides upon its surface, retards the
esrth's revolution upon its axis, or holds
it back with a force OF 5000 millions
OF horse powers. Hence it is easy TO
see that without some counter force,
the globe must rotate slower and slow
er, until It's revolutions wholly cease.
Then with perpetual night on one side,
and degree OF cold far below any now
known, we should have on the other q
"fervent heat" from the sun, which
would melt the rocks and make the
mountains run like water. But we
need feel no alarm. He shows coun-
ter poise which nearly balances this
resistance, and will maintain, substanti-
ally, the present mundane condition,
through ages upon ages yet TO come.

WASHINGTON.
Caleb Cushing. Nominated as Chief
Justice.

Washington, .. The nomination of Caleb
Gushing as Chief Justice, occasioned much
surprise in all quarters to-day, and was mat
ter of astonshment to himself, as he had made
arrangements to leave this country on the oath
inst, for Madrid, and had no intimation of
additional honor to be conferred upon him.
When the Presidents secretary appeared at
the main door of the Senate this afternoon,
and announced message in waiting, every
eye was turned upon him, as it was generally
believed the packet he held contained the
nomination for Chief Justice. Senator Conk-
ling, who sits near the middle aisle, intercept
ed the messenger OH his way to the desk, and
taking the list of nominations from him, hur-
riedly glanced over them, exclaimed loud
enough to be heard in the galleries, "Chief
Justice" At this large number of the SEN
atOrs jumped from their seats and gathered
about him, and in a moment the name of Ca
leb Gushing was audibly whispered on the
floor.
Mr.. Thurman remained in animated con-
versation with Mr.. Conklng for some time.
Messrs. Sumner and Boutwell, had their heads
together and an unusual hum of converse
tion on the floor indicated that the nomination
caused quite a senation.
The news soon reached the Associate JUS
tees of the Supreme Court through one of
It's officers, while no time was lost in tele
graphing it abroad.
The members of the House were not visibly
affected by the intelligence, although it pro-
duced considerable excitement in other
quarters
The nomination of Mr.. Gushing recalls the
fact that after the death of Chief Justice
Chase, the Presidents first choice as his sue
cessor was Senator Conkling, who declined
the appointment, when he made up his mind
to nominate Gen. Gushing, it being thought
by him that towards the close of his admins
tration Gen. Gushing would retire from the
bench by reason of age, when the pace thus
vacated could be filled by Attorney General
Williams, whom the President desired should
meanwhile remain in the Cabinet. Gen.
Cushing's nomination not being at the time
acceptable to the majority of the Cabinet, in
duced the President to hasten his purpose
with regard to Mr.. Williams, and now after
the withdrawal of the nymination of Williams
at his own request, the President has returned
to his original position, and after the Cabinet
conference, nominated Caleb Gushing.
This nomination having been read in the
executive session, was referred to the Com
mittee on judiciary. No effort was made to
have it passed without such reference.
In view of the reports heretofore prevalent
as to the nomination of Mr.. Morton for Chief
Justceship, he was neither consulted nor
rendered the appointment
Gen. Cushing's name first occurs on the
rolls of the Supreme Court in Dec 1888,
when he appeared as Attorney General under
Pierces administration.
The Committee on Ways and Means to- day
instructed its chairman to report adversely on
the bill TO remove the taxes on friction
matches.
