Slipping Up or Down.

From the Chicago Tribune.l
How do you slip, up or DOWN. This
question was seriously discussed in lite
rary circles and in the pulpit, not long
ago. The reasoning of one side was that
il was impossible to slip up" stairs,
while it was natural to "slip down" The
other side contended with equal force
that one could not slip down" stairs,
until he had first Slipped up" The
question was argued at length, and either
side displayed logic powers, bnt the
question was not settled to the satisfac-
ton of disinterested parties until ye1ter-
dgy. A gentleman who, owing to the
keen atmosphere, had slipped down a
large quantity of whisky, in passing
along Clark street, managed to slip-his
heels up and his head down. AS a pc.
Iiceman helped him out Of an ash-barrel
which was standing near at the time, he
was heard to remark that he, "hic, lip
ped down" His statement was taken
for correct by the crowd. Later in the
day, the same chap Slipped down" a
cellar in search of more whisky, and still
later, while holding lamp-post 10 fond
embrace, his feet slipped up The
whole circumstance is commended to the
philosophical mind.

The venerable President Finhey, oil
Oberlin College, has his peculiar no.
tons about church music. He has been
known to violently pull the coat.tails Of
the organist-who sits behind the pulpit
when he thought that individual was
indulging in too lively music. On Sun
day, after a rather indistinct perform
ance by the choir, the reverend gentle
man offered the following petition: "Oh,
Lord, we have sung an anthem to Thy
praise. Thou knOwest the words, but
we do not. We do pray Thee that those
who lead us may open their mouths that
we may know what they say, that we
may join in Thy praise. May they not
sing TO be heard OF men. May they not
mock Thee and offend Thy people, or
the House of God. by making display
of themselves. ~. Y. San.

LONDON, December PA special from
Madeira to the London morning journals
gives the following additional particulars
of the burning of the emigrant ship Co.'S
patrick: Fire broke out at midnight,
November 18th, and within half an hour
enyeloped the vessel nearly its entire
length. The scene was one Of the widest
confusion; but two boats succeeded in
getting away, each of which contained
thirty persons. These remained along
side the ship until the 18th of November,
when the hull was completely burned and
the vessel sunk. The two boats then
started for land; they kept together for
two days, when a gale separated them.
One of them has not since been heard
of; the other was fallen in with by the
British ship Scepter. At that time it
contained five persons, two of whom
died before the Scepter reached st. Hell
ena.

MEMPHIS THEArER. Last night the
theator was crowded by large and
fashionable audience, Notwithstanding
the very inclemen ard wretched weather.
The weather was SO bad that many
eligible seats sold and reserved were un-
occupied, and yet the dress circle was
filled with ladies' and gentlemen, all Of
which was high compliment paid
to the Kurdish people. The play
was elegantly set and dressed" by
Manager Pennoyer, and on this account
the management received many com
pliments from the pleased audience
That the play was charmingly presented
no one can doubt who has ever seen this
talented combination. Even dramatic
critics, who are usually surfeited with
dramatic business, sat Divorce out, be-
ing 10th to leave until the curtain drop
ped on the last scene. The play itself
is of the society order; the dialogues run
smoothly; it is not particularly witty or
sparkling but it is natural, and there is
its principal attraction when placed in
the hands of clever actors or actresses.
Last night Divorce ran smoothly, without
ripple on its surface, the charac-
ters coming on and going off,
in a life-like manner. The cast was, of
course, good; indeed, it was the same as
last season, except that Mr.. Sanger took
the role of REV. Harry Duncan" in
place of Mr.. Snyder, and Mr.. Loveday
the role of Dewitt" in place of Mr..
Ryer. There were also some changes
made in the minor parts Tonight

I'm. rmsc, ar Mus,c ON savaxes.

Sir Samuel Baker, in his new volume
Of African adventure, tells US OF the
notable effect OF music upon the natives.
II believe" he says, the safest way to
travel in those, countries would be TO
play the cornet, i possible, without
ceasing which would insure a safe pas
sage. A London organ-grinder could
march through Central Africa, followed
by an admitting and enthusiastic crowd,
who, IL his tunes we're lively, would form
dancing escort of the most untiripg
material" One can but imagine the
different record we should have If music,
instead OF gunpowder, had been employ
ed as a force for the conquest OF savage
races. The pilgrim father, Who SO Sc
verely condemned ungodly music, might
have reversed his Judgment had he
known the effect of the fife and drum and
the trumpt on the sensitive ears OF the
Indians; he might, Indeed, have organic.
ed bands of organ players; and, even if
his own spirit had severely suffered I'M
der that unwonted noise, the speedy con-
quest of the otherwise intractable savage
would assuredly have rendered the en-
ployment of such means good and wise
in his judgment. Let African explorers
hereafter 60 forth with many wind and
string Instruments; even the pirates OF
the China seas, or the cannibals Of the
Pacific, would cease to be terror to
every traveller, had they means at hand
for the production Of sweet and dying
sounds" Fearful has been the blood
shed because the power of Orpheus has
been unknown or neglected. and future
travellers, explorers or adventurers into
unknown wilds may cordially thank Sir
Samuel for this valuable hint.

NEa Ycnx, December 29.-Fourteen
Of the principal members of the Grain

addressed letter to Franklin Edison,
President Of that body, in answer TO the
letter OF G. r. Blanchard, one Of the
Vice Presidents of the o. c. railroad, on
the subject OF inspecting, grading and
delivery of rail grain at this port. The
merchants claim that the railroads in
fixing charges for the elevation Of freight,
apart from freight charges, violate con-
tracts, and make this important conces-
sion: 1--WE are willing that our carriers
may erect elevators, and that they may
add to their facilities and other improve
ments which they may regard as neces-
sary, but that If they do so without our
consent they shall bear the expense.
We rejoice at any evidence Of enterprise
they may show, il it be directed in the
interest Of commerce, but we insist that
we shall be consulted before either we or
our correspondents shall be required to
pay the cost of any expensive expert
ment which they may see fit TO make"

Mary Lee, colored girl eighteen years

working at the house of Mrs. Grant, q
colored woman, and about twenty min
utes previous to the discovery of the
murder she had started out alone, say
ing she was going to the drug store and
would return 10 few minutes. She had
been gone about twenty minutes, when
Mrs. Grant heard frantic knock on the
door, and upon opening it Mary Lee was
found leaning against it, with her throat
cut from ear TO ear. Retreating footsteps
we're heard by Mrs. Grant when she
opened the door, but it being a dark and

A "nneIx- ora Story.

Speaking of shooting ducks" says DR..
F., "puts me in mind of the great storm
that occurred when lived on the island.
As you are we'll aware, our island was
near by Casco bay; an awful storm
arose, and was so fierce that it drove all
the ducks in the bay into pond cover
ing about an acre near my hoase. In
fact, so many ducks crowded into the
pond that l could not see drop Of
water" "Sho," says Smith, did We
shute any Of EN-" That's what was
coming a.. went into the house and
got my double barreled shotgun and dis
charged both barrels right in the midst
of them, but, to my astonishment, they
arose in the air, leaving not a solitary
duck in the pondl" Good graciousl
We don't say sol" says Smith; didn't We
have any shot in your gun, or what in
thunder was the troubleY Well, l was
coming to that, said DR.. F: :" it aston
ished me at first; but as soon as the
ducks rose few hundred yards in the
air and commenced to separate e little,
the ducks began to drop, and, whether
You believe it or not, picked up twenty
nine barrels of ducks, and it was poor
season for ducks, too. You see the
ducks were wedged in so solid in the
pond that when they rose they carried
the dead ones into the air with them, and
when they separated, down came the
twenty-nin barrels of dead ones.
