ABOUT THE MAGNETIC NEEDLE.


Why the magnetic needle points to
the north is thus explained by Prof. c.
r. Patterson, of the United States Coast
Survey. The earth is itself a magnet.
and attracts the needle just as ordinary
magnets do, and it is found to be affected
by the action of the sun in manner
not vet fully understood. The magnetic
poles of the earth ale not III line with
the geographical poles, but make an
angle with them of nearly twenty-three
degrees. At the present time the north
ern magnetic pole is near the Arctic cir
Gle. on the meridian of Omaha, and,
from the nature of the case, the pole
NAV better be described as q region
rather than fixed point. The needle
does not everywhere point to the true
astronomical north, but varies within
certain limits. At San Francisco it
points seventeen degrees east of north,
and at Calais, Me-, as much to the west.
At the northern magnetic pole bal
anced needle points with It's north end
downward in plumb line; at San Fran
cisco it dips about sixty-three degrees,
and at the southern magnetic pole the
south end points directly down. The
action OF the earth upon magnetic
needle ut it's surface is of about the
same force as that Of hard steel mag
net forty inches long, strongly magnet
lied. at q distance of one foot. 1t is
very probable that study of dynamo
electric machines, now so much used in
the electric illuminations, will reveal
soon some far-reaching truths regarding
magnetism in general.

TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS ABSENT.

Mr.. John r. Dawson, of this place.
sailed from New York twenty-eight
years ago, with q young male compan-
ion, to seek his fortune, assuring his
people he should not return until he had
attained competence. He weathered

where both men have still labOred with
varying luck but it is evident that III

don, and arrived in Norwich last week,

In the old honse where they lived when
he left he found an oyster saloon, and
the two went in and partOok Of sea food
in the old spot. They then wandered
over Central wharf, when they espied
the sign: wv. P. Dawson, shoemaker"
which indicated that Mr.. Davisons
father still lived. He entered the place,
bargained for a pair Of boots, talked
about the old mans son, whom he
claimed to have known in Australia.
The old gentleman was delighted te
meet man who had seen his long-ab
sent boy, and talked vivaciously of hin

NOTELS.

Whether it is right or wrong to read
novels, people will do it. And, as a
rule, three-quarters of the novels are
read by people who ought to read books
which give useful information, and three
quarters of the books of solid infOrma-
ton are read by people who might de-
rive benefit from reading good novel
now and then. The trouble with novel
reading comes chiefly from the bad or
Indifferent qualities of the novels which
are read, which are worthless, if not
worse. 1t comes also, in large part,
from the fact that fiction constitutes al
most the only reading of a great and i'll
creasing class of persons who need
actual knowledge and discipline of mind,
and the more novels they read, the less
they are inclined to read anything else.
Parents and teachers may try in vain to
prevent the reading of novels, but they
can and should cultivate taste for read
ing other and more useful works, from
which real and lasting benefit can be
derived.

THERE should come into the world
another Buckle TO write new history Of
civilization. Ohio is improving on the
old methods of hanging criminals with
a vengeance. Not long ago, three youths.
two II. and one 19 years Of age, were
hanged at Canton with all the ceremOn
les OF q most noble and Christian civiliz-
alton. Before they were marched out
under military escort to the gallows, the
three were treated to an oyster break
fast, and, when they were arrayed as for
a wedding, the ministers prayed. AT
twenty minutes TO H." runs the account,
"three youthful bodies, wearing button
hole bouquets and white neckties, were
dangling in the air." What mockery
of death, what disgrace to the age,
were the drums and flashing bayonets,
and the vast crowd of men and women
who looked upon spectacle which
should have been seen in private by the
officials, if seen at all Oysters, pray
ers. button-hole bouquets, white neck
ties /! What next?

ERRORS OF SPEECH.
Some Ferry Common Instances.


1t is SO easy, frora mere thoughtless-
hess and unconscious imitation, to fall
into IA pernicious way of talking that
continual circumspection is required to
prevent lapse. How often people who
should know better say, 1T is differ.
cnt thing 10 that" instead OF "from.
How can any one "differ to?" Again,
1T isn't, l don't think" is constantly
heard, when the speaker means just the
opposite Of what he says, as may he seen
10y inverting the sentence thus 81 don't
think it isn't" which must be equiva-
lent to q do think it is" "Hadn't
used to-" Didn't used to-, "Hadnt
ought" Didn't ought" are vulgar
errors, while ct was her." for 1t
was she :" "It was me" for at was l >
Between you and l." instead of Be
tween YOU and me ;" "Like l did" in
stead of "As 1 did," "Those sort of
things" instead Of "That sort of thing
Laying down." instead Of Lying
down." are common violations of En-
3lish gran,niar.
For those who have never learned the
rules of syntax, or, having learned, for
gotten them, it will he useful to point
out that in cases of doubt about a sen
tence the correctness of it can often be
tested by Encouragement OF the words
of which it is composed, and by reca-
pitulating those words which are not ex-
pressed but understood. For example
"He sat near to you and 1" is shown to
and he sat near evidently the pro-
| noun me follows instead of l. Another
common instance" Who is there 2"
"Me," is the answer, but it should be,
Of course, 81" the words am there be-
ing the compleme mt of the sentence.
OF almost equal importance to gram
matical accuracy is the avoidance of all
slang words, terms and expressions. All
slang is vulgar, and displays poverty
of language, as well as thought. And it
is great mistake to suppose that slang
is i'll any way witty. Only the very
young or the uncultiyattsa 50 qRaHg the
word "thing," instead of naming the
object meant, and such expressions as
"The what do you call it" "The what
is it," "The thingumy." "Take the
thing away off the what do you call it, "
is an example of what this bad habit
will produce.
Other improprieties of speech are
clipping off the last letter of a word,
as "speakin'," "talkin'," "readin', "
"puddin', and of adding an extra final
letter, as "garding," "parding,
"heighth drawling out the letter
CO." 70 that dog Is sounded "dawg,
and God "Gawd;" sounding SOW u
"er," as "piller for pillow. "winder u
for window, "elber for elbow, etc. {; Of
sounding a redundant "r" in such
words as drawing, often pronounced
"droring," saving "sOring." gnawine
"noring," with "dror" for draw, and
more" for gnaw, "corst" for cost
"lorst" for lost. etc.

JOHN BRIGHT Is opposed to capital
punishment. In speech before the
University College Debating Society re-
Gently, he said the inhiction seemed to
him a policy as unchristian as it was un-
philosophical, which, so far as he could
Judge of the experience of other coun-
tries, had failed so far and SO long as it
had been persisted in. 1t seemed to
him that there could be no plan less OPP
posed to teaching men the sacredness Of
human life than that of the ordinary and
frequent sacrifice of human life to the
law. He was glad they had resolved to
discuss this subject, SO that hereafter
to bring our practice up to our princi-
pies, and to the practice of some dozen
other civilized nations. Mr.. Bright ap-
proves, it is believed, the policy so earn
estly advocated by Matthew Davenport
Hill and others, of the absolute seclu-
sion of murderers from the world. He
would advocate life imprisonment and
separate confinement, making pardon
impossible except on evidence Of error
in the previous trial.

IN EDITORS ERROR.

Every old Californian remembers the
name Of John Nugent, editor of the San
Francisco Hcrdid, III the first gold cx-
citement on the Pacific slope. He was
once famous and a power there but his
death a few days ago, at San Lcandro,
hardly attracted any notice, SO entirely
had the time gone by him. He was a
striking exemplitication of the serious
consequence Of misapprehension Ill jour
nalism. He had founded the U'roid,
the original newspaper Of that name,
and had conducted it i'll SO vigorous
manner that it rose to emincnce and
prosperity, and his articles, read with
eagerness, carried great weight. 1t WAS
the leading journal of that region, and
had no formidable competitor. But, dur
ing the vigilance committee period "i
1856, he, failing to catch the tone OF pub
lie sentiment, earnestly opposed the
committee, then sustained by the best
and strongest people in the chaotic,
semi-anarchical community. The Uor-
aus opposition was so vehemently re-
sented that all the principal merchants
and tradesmen Withdrew their advertis-
ing patronage in body, and the sheet,
though emphasizing its position, and de-
claring its indifference to the course Of
its adversaries, could not support itself.
II was discontinued in two or three
months, and Nugent, thrown out
of his place, was so unpopular
that he could not for the time
get a new one He had many friends,
however, and they all SO believed III his
ability that, twelve years later, they
helped him to revive his journal. The
new Herald appeared with much parade
and pretension, and its editorials, writ
ten or inspired Ivy him, were heavy. III
flated and fiorid to a degree that pro
voked ridicule. They would have been
accepted and liked in 1855 or 1876. but
the public had altered meanwhile, and
refused to be content with solemn fris-
tian. The paper could not secure
hold; its monetary hackers perceived
this and withdrew, forcing it into Sec
s.ltlsned file. His failures had, as gen.
orally happens, increased, rather than
lessened, his egotism, always abundant.
He made the mistake of thinking tina,
he was in advance, instead of behind, the

The large number Of inexcusable ac-
cidents on pleasure steamboats, In the
United States has prompted officials in
the Treasury Department at Washington
to examine the law relating to inspec-
ton. As the result of this investigation
it is found that when disasters occur the
statute leaves the inquiry as to the cause
and responsibility with local inspectors,
the very persons who make the original
inspections, and who in some cases. no
doubt, are the guilty parties. Until a
different device has been adopted by
Congress it is useless to expect the OH
