Commandments are so called because they
are held at the beginning of the academic
year The various classes in the college have
ended their years work. Then commence
ment is held, when old scores are wiped out
the graduating class sent out, and the exam
nations held for the incoming class The
new class doesn't come in at the end of the
year, but at tho beginning of the new year
After the ceremonies consequent on getting
the college into shape at the beginning of a
new year are ended, a vacation is taken.
Our custom in this matter comes from Eng
land. The theory of the matter, as ex-
planned above, is probably best to be OBJ
served in practice at West Point, where the
board Of visitors make the annual inspection
at the end of the year, where commencement
is held, the new class examined, and where
no long vacation intervenes to make people
think commencement is really ending.

Favorite Beverages.

Claret cup and champagne cup are fashion
able beverages for receptions and ball sup
pers and are usually provided for gentlemen
at garden parties. They may be prepared
by the following recipes:
To every bottle of claret allow one of soda
water and one of lemonade Tor half n siphon)
half a wine glass of brandy and dessert
spoonful of Maraschino; sweeten to taste,
and. if procurable, put in a sprig of borage
and bit of cucumber rind, allowing them
to remain in about n quarter of an hour. A
sprig of mint just passed through once or
twice is an improvement. For champagne
cup, allow to each bottle one of settler, half
a wine glass of brandy, dessert spoonful of
curacao, and sugar to taste; stir well to-
gether with a large spoon and pour into
glass jugs, and leave in a cool place till near
supper time. In warm weather put a lump
of ice in each jug few minutes before re-

TIE Nebular Hypothesis.

The original conception of Laplace was
that an atmosphere might have at first sur
rounded the sun, itending beyond the linn
its Of the solar SYSTEM that gradual cooling
and condensation Of this vast rotating nebu-
lous globe caused it to contract; that in the
process of contraction successive rings We're
thrown off to form in one case zone of
small planets, but in general to break up and
form each a single globe; that in the forma-
ton of such globes similar process was re-
peated, ending in the formation of satellites,
and, as in one well known case, of u ring of
similar satellites, Laplace put forth his con-
ception as hypothesis, not as a certainty,
but it is also true that he formed high esti-
mate of the probability of its correctness In
the ring system of Saturn astronomers seem
to see the process conceived by Lapace going
on before their eyes, and even think it prob
able that observation and calculation will,
in the course of time, establish the theory on
a stronger basis of probability.

The Vo's and the Mos.

Every reader of a newspaper which notices
new books frequently meets the terms quarto,
octave, duodecimo, etc, or their abbrevi-
ations, 4to, $40, l2mo, etc. This is the
mode by which the size of book is desig-
mated in print These mos and vo's indicate
thu number of leaves in a sheet, and CORE
spond to the leaves, not the pages which a
sheet contains Take sheet of given size,
say medium, and give it one fold, like a
common newspaper, and you have folio,
with two leaves; give it another, and you
have quarto (4to), with four leaves; give it
another fold, and you have an octave t8vo),
or eight leaves, and so on. BY another
mode of folding you obtain a l2mo, lGmo
etc, and by another again lSmo, etc, These
figures and letters, though authorizations Of
Latin words, are ordinarily, in these days,
turned into rather barbarous English by
printers and publishers for the sake Of
brevity Thus they say limo, 24mo, a
4Smo, instead of duodecimo, etc.

A Shipwrpck.

The steamer Central America sailed from
Aspinwall for New York, Sept $, 1867, with
49l passengers and a crew of 10l The pas
sengers were mostly miners returning from
California with their fortunes in gold dust
Three days after leaving port she sprung a
leak in heavy gale. The vessel filled and
careened over, and then there was n curious
spectacle The miners were collecting their
gold dust and storing it in belts and hand
kerchiefs to bind around their bodies Thou
sands of dollars were flung about the cabin,
and life preservers were put on. The cour-
age exhibited was marvellous; not even the
women shed tear or raised cry of agony.
The Boston brig Marine hove in sight and
bore down on the sinking steamer, when the
women and children were rescued. Then
efforts were made to rescue the crew and
male passengers, and when forty had been
taken off the vessel went down. The scene
which followed surpassed all the romance
and horrors of shipwreck the water wa.
filled with floating human beings, among
them BILLY" Birch, the renowned minstrel.
Five hundred and twenty-seven lives were
lost.
