THE DEw.-Comparitively few among
the many who profess to be careful OBJ
servers Of natural phenomena have at
tained to moderate knowledge of the
formation of dew 1t is often-indeed
commonly-said that the dew 'fails,"
and the observation is allowed to pass
even bv persons who know full well
that it does not fall, the acquiescence
being partly due to the prevalence OF
erroneous notions on the subject, and
partly to the difficulty of establishing
better notions in their stead. This is .
subject, however, of such great impor-
tance that it should have some amount
of attention from all lovers Of the coun-
try, and especially from such as are EN-.
ployed in outdoor business, whether in
the forest, the field, or the garden. The
most casual observation viii convince
anyone that between dew and rain there
must be an essential difference, for rain
certainly falls, and We see the clouds
that produce it; but we do not see the
dew fall, and its appearance is not ac-
counted for by clouds as the appearance
Of rain is. for, in truth, the clear MOON
light night is the very time when dew
appears most conspicuously: so that

the circumstances that accompany,

but the result il different to this extent,
that whereas in summer the dew appears
in the form of globules Of clear water.
in winter its appearance is that Of boar
frost. Now, with the popular-and, We
must add, the very ignorant-descrip-
ton of the dew as failing" to dispose
of these remarks, we shall here observe
that while the summer dew Is not ram,
neither is the winter dew snow. Rain
falls and snow falls, and both are dis
charged from clouds that are not only

Massena gave excellent reasons for his
defeat BY Wellington. Napoleon wan
ted victories, and not explanations.-
There is . foolish story, to which 90
prominent . man as Southey could give
credence, to the effect that Admiral
villeneuve was assassinzted by order
of the Emperor after his disgrace as
Trafalgar. There can be no serious
doubt that the unfortunate commander
committed suicide in sheer terror attAs
idea of an interview with the stern mas.
ter whose plans he caused to miscarry.
1t is fair to add that those of HIS
captains who were successful had no
cause to complain that their services
were insufficiently appreciated. Even
Massena had acquired an income Of
one hundred thousand dollars while
his star was in the ascendant. Soult
had sixty thousand dollars year; New
nearly one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars q year; Davoust one hundred
and eighty thousand dollars a year;
while Berthier, Prince of Neufchatel,
enjoyed a princely revenue of some two
hundred and seventy thousand dollars
a year. "They will no longer fight"
Napoleon once exclaimed in a moment
of detection, referring to his Generals.
at may be suspected that it was rather
from motives of policy than of gratitude
that Napoleon thus created the fortunes
Of his Marshals in day. He was anx-
ious to establish as a support to his
throne powerful aristocracy, which in
splendor and Ito do him justice) in the
brilliancy Of its achievements should
rival the old nobility of France. He
forgot, however, that though monarchy
and democracy can exist and have exis-
ted without prescription, an aristocracy
to be venerable must absolutely bear
the seal of antiquity. In none of his
projects had Cromwell failed more hope
lessly than in hisattemp. to reconstruct
the House of Lords in England. Ma
Ralsans it,is tEue.didnet propose TO con-
snch. Nevertheless he intended them
to be privileged class. and this alone
was more courageous than wise idea
on the morrow Of 1889.
