Mcagrc reports Indicate that the coa-
stitutional amendment changing the
time Of holding state elections to Novem-
Der has been carried in Ohio by a de-
cisiye majority. If this shall happily turn
out to be true the October election in
close states will be practically a thing of
the past, and no state will have an undue
influence upon the politics of the country
in either congressional or presidential
years.
This movement has been going ON for
many years. II began before the war by
Illinois adopting November as the month
for all its elections. Little progress was
made in this direction until the adoption
Of the new constitution by Pennsylvania
in 1873. Up to that time, aud indeed for
two presidential campaigns longer, Penn
s%ylvania was really the Keystone state in
politics, and, as such. its vote was always
cast for the successful candidate. When
this change was made Ohio and Indiana
became the finger boards of politics by

exTRAvAeANcE IN SPEECH.


Young Ladies and Gentlemen Who Use
Slang Needless -Over-ColorIng.
Boston Budget
There is a certain class of young la
dies whose dialect divides all things into
two classes. the horrid and the splen.
did. To the category of things SPLEEN
did belong moonlight nights, fashfona-
bic parties, ice creams, attentive and
well behaved young gentlemen, sleigh
rides, the german and the last new SEN
sational novel. To the class of the hor-
rid belong most of the wardrobes of
their lady friends, rainy weather, mus
c%uitoes, Independent and inatten.i
tive young gentlemen, solitude and
books Well furnished with ideas.
Nor is this characteristic dialect by any
means confined to the young lady Of the
boarding school. There is n large class
of full grown people of both sexes to
whom the habit of employing exaggera-
tons Of speech has become a second
nature. We are constantly hearing,
from people who ought to know better,
Of a laundering great crowd" of
great big dogs" or an almighty great
country" of things terrible, - ''im-
mense, enormous" and internal" of
an awful sick family, or a powerful
sight of medicine" or n tremendous
lot of people"
This kind Of bombastic talk is some
times the fruit Of n want of thought,
and sometimes of n want of
knowledge. uncultiyated persons in
dulge in it as the most ex
pressive language they can find ready
to their hands, and even people OF good
education fall easily into the habit of
seholng the slang phrases of the street
and til market place, without stopping
to think of their want of fitness of their
improperly,
A certain intensity of style, it is said,
seems to belong to the American char
acter. Why this should be and why
the English tongue should be more
hardly dealt with by us than by the
English, does not clearly appear in
Iced, we greatly doubt whether the ac-
complished people of both countries are
not equally moderate in the use of
speech, and we think investiga-
ton will show that the ruder
masses of England, as well as of
america, indulge in much needless X
travagance of language. What the
British people call bounce is as CON
mon in London or Birmingham as in
New York or Cincinnati, and those
familiar and expressive, though not
over-nice, words, n ''thumper," a
%"whoppern and a ''spanker," are, we
believe, of purely English derivation.
Strength of expression is, by 10 means
to be measured by grandiloquence of
speech; on the contrary, the more
crowded with splendid" adjectives any
piece of writing is, the less effective is
1t likely to be upon the mind. Over
coloring in the use of language is like
overlooking in art, a fatal blunder on
the part of the painter.

1t is stated of the new metal, gallium,
that, with the exception of mercury,
which only becomes solid at 1878 de
grees Fab. there is no other element
which liquefies at so low a temperature.
1t melts at ST. degrees Fab, so that it
liqueies when held in the hand. The
metal is hard and resistant, eyer to a
few degrees below the melting point 1t
can be cut, and possesses a slight NAL
Liability. When fused, it adheres easily
to glass, on which it forms a beautiful
mirror, whittier than that produced by
mercury. 1t oxidizes but very superic-
tally when heated to redness in the
air, and does not become volatile.
Unlike lead, it acquires only a very
slight tarnish on exposure to moist air.
Its specific grayityis a little under 8, that
of aluminium being 20, that of zinc
~, and that of lead III. Unlike lead.
again, gallium is a highly c%rystalized
metal, its form being that of a square
octahedron. In its chemical character
istics the rare element gallium shows
the greatest analogy to the abundant
element aluminium.

The great variations between the
