Music and suspension Bridges.

Bands Of music are forbidden TO play on
most OF tho large bridges OF the world.
A constant succession Of sound wavep,
especially such as come from the playing
of band, will excite the wires Of vibra-
tion. AT fret the vibrations are very
slight, but they will increase as the
sound waves continue to come. The
principal reason why bands are not al
lowed to play when crossing certain
bridges, the Suspension bridge at
Niagara, for instance, is that IL followed
by processions Of any kind they will
keep step with tho music, and this
regular step would cause the wires TO
vibrate. At suspension bridge military
companies are not allowed 10 march

Gen. Clincbsm, Of North Carolina, who
has been CONGRESSMAN or Senator for
forty years, gives reporter some inter
esting facts as to changes in the character
Of the United States Senate and its modes
of procedure since the days Of Clay, Web
ster, and Calhoun. In those days all de-
bGtes were extempore, and the earnest
ness, vigor, and ability displayed made it
a treat TO be present at one. Gen. Cass
who read speech in the session Of 1S49
80. is said to hav, been the first innova,or
In that respect, bu, he afterwards aban-
doned the practice Seward and Sumner
were the first habitual speech readers.
They usually committed some portions TO
memory, and recitcd them badly. Tue
novelty now is 10 hear an eNtempore
speech on great question. The latter
day practice is certainly less favorable TO
genuine oratory. Whether-other things
being equal, which there seems reason TO
doubt-cArefully written speeches may
not be more favorable to calm the thuth-
seeking discussion, is another question.

was commenced in the August number OF the

cause of truth is best advanced by free dis
