GeneraI scott on hot sreaa.

General Scott was noted for the per-
tinacity with which he chung to his
opinions. No matter what topic, if the
general expressed an opinion about it,
that opinion became as the laws of the
Medes and the Persians. a writ tell
in the Philadelphia Times an anecdoto
of General Scott during the Mexican
war, which illustrates this periinacity
The general was very emphatic in Iii
denunciation of the practice of eating
warm bread. He contendod land nc
doubt with much correctness) that bread
should be eaten stale and cold. Tho
army on the march had, of course, to
eat hard bread or biscuit, there being
no portable ovens in those days.
"Well," said the captain, who one
day visited General Scott in his tent
rubbing his hands in anticipation
"wen soon be in Pueblo, general,
SUPPOSE
"Well, sir, and what then p
"Why, Wen get up the ovens and
have some hot bread"
"Hot bread, sir hot bread r. shouted
the general, rising from his camp-stoo
and Strengthening his towering form
while he extended his arm with q males
tic air. No, sir Sooner than permit
you to commit such an imprudent act. ]
win stand over the ovens with my draw
sword !"
The remark was so unexpected, and
the speech and attitude of the genera
SO tragic, that the captain, in relating
il, sDid that, for moment, he though
the general was rehearsipg some line
from o theatrical act.

Curiosi.ies OF the Voice.

Doctor Delaunay, in paper read re-
Gently before the French Academy Of
Medicine, gives scnle details of the his
tory and limits of the human voice,
which he obtained after much patient
research. According to the doctor, the
primitive inhabitants of Europe were all
tenors; their descendants of the present
day are bnritones, and their grandsons
will have semi-bass voices. Looking at
different races, he calls attention to the
fact that inferior races, such as the ne
groes, ETC., have higher voices than
white men. The voice has also tend.
ency to deepen with age-the tenor Of
sixteen becoming the baritone at twenty
five, and bass at thirty five. Fair-co
plexioned people have higher voices
than the dark skinned, the former being
usually sopranos OF tenors, the latter
contraltos or BASES.
"Tenors," says the doctor, "are
slenderly built and thin; BASES are
stoutly made and corpulent." This
may be the rule, but one is inclined to
think there are more exceptions to it
than are necessary to prove the rule.
The same remark applies to the asser-
ton that thoughtful. intelligent men,
have always a deep-toned voice;
whereas trihers and frivolous persons
have soft, weak voices. The tones Of
the voice are perceptibly higher, he

which is the reason why tenors dine
early, in order that their voices may not
suffer. Prudent singers eschew strong
drinks and spirituous liquors, especially
tenors, but the BASES can eat and drink
generally with impunity. "The south, .
says the doctor, furnishes the tenors,
the north the basses;" in proof Of
which no adds, that the majority Of
French tenors come from the south Of
France, whilst the BASES belong to the
northern department.
