Another Account OF tho Orono Game.

ORoNO, June 6.
High wind and dust were the only obsta-
cles to fine game this afternoon but these
were surmounted and large crown witness
ed the most exciting game of the league thus
far this season. The game was called at
POS the Colbys at the bat. The home team
quickly took the lead and maintained it till
about the middle of the game by hard and
consistent playing, but in the fifth the
strangers got in three scores and in the sew
enth by almost rattling our boys brought in
four more. From this out the interest was
intense, and several very close decisions
were hotly contested.
The first half of the ninth inning left the
score tied. 10 to 10. At this critical juno
ture Small made a timely two-bagger, got
third on passed bail, and came home on
bad throw to third from the catcher Pulsi-
fer, amid tremendous excitement. Bats, hats,
caps, and handkerchiefs were tossed in the
air and the home nine were lugged off the
field BY the students.
This game gives us the lead in the league
contest; but an exciting game is expected
in Bangor yet with the Bowdoins and anoth-
or snug one at Waterville with the Colbys
Some of the points of the game was the
leap and left-handed catch of Babb
on first, who played an error less
game. The errors of Philbrook, the hard
batting of Small, Elwell, Parsons, Robe rts,
and ko gers, the latter of whom made ba se
hit he came to the bat. He did not catch
quite so we'll as usual, owing to stiff finger
which was struck twice during the game,
once being put out, but with his cha acter-
istic grit he donned the gloves and "got there
just the same 1t has been said, that we're
he to be killed during the game, he would
keep on catching until the game was finished.
The work of both pitchers was fine and
Haggett made some fine catches in the left
field with the sun full in his face.
The Colbys leave fine impression here
on account of their fine bearing toward our
students and the latter fully appreciate
their good qualities.

The Jackals Of Calcutta.

Kind friends had warned Us, ere we retired
to sleep the first night In Calcutta, not to
suppose that there was anything the matter
If we should hear the cry Of the iackals. But
for that warning do not know what OUT
feelings would have been when, awakened
from our first sleep by them, We heard q
pack pass close TO the house. It seemed to
US as though the conscience of the whole city
had unbarred the portals Of hell and Pat
trumpet in the hand of every liberated fiend.
1 had prespmptuously imagined that farnil-
iarity with the concerts of London cats
would enable me- to sleep through the jack
ols efforts
But though the cat has undeniable power
he can nerer hope TO reach the top notes OF
tho jackal. This latter, indeed, Lacks the
conversational variety Of the more domestic
animal. He confines himself mainly to ono
tune, which begins in semi-epelogstic low
note, thea ascends little, still with srspi-
cicr of apology and explanation that he did
not mean 10 make quite 50 much noise but
could not help it; ndthen the food gates are
open, and seeming to say that he does not
care he yells with ecstatic abandon. Terrible

jackal appears poor creature should be be
come upon in his own proper person by day.
True, his teeth are to be respected but that
is because, hike all caTrion feeders, his bite is
moro or less poisonous. He is himself n
sneaking coward, useful, however, beyond
description. No system Of drainage will en-
able Calcutta to dispense with its natural
scavengers, and of these the jackal is
among the most efficient. Peering into dark
corners and with nose keen to scent out
what has escaped even the crows bright eye,
little as that seems to miss, he fills special
place in the sanitary economy OF the city OF

THE HUMAN VOICE.
What It Il in Which the Soul Of the Or
gan CoaS1s&s.

What It Il in Which the Soul Of the Or
gan Coasises.
The individual peculiarities and delicats
expressions of tho human vcscr have bean
LOOKED upon az almost belonging to the soul,
and as, therefore, incapable Of reproduction
We recognize people by these slight, but sure,
differences In quality, and think that there
is no ,listaking that voice" We pay the
same tribute TO the individuality Of each kind
Of musical instrument, being able to disEn-
guish one from another positively. by tho
quality Of the sound only, after hearing Pro
cisely the same musical note struck upon
each.
The first question to be answered is, what
is the difference in the sounds Of dS-
ferent voices and Of different E1u-
seal instruments by which we Gstin-
guish them, it il difference neither in
the londnees nor in tie pitch Of the tone pro-
duceds Il Is thu simultaneous sounding OF
other notes which accompany family tho
note played upon the instrument not loud
enough to be beard, but giving it richness
and quality in precisely the same way that 8
chord makes richer sound than q single
note. These extra notes, sometimes calied
sympathetic vibrations, are too faint to be
separately recognized, but they modify the
original note. giving it richness, quaiity Of
''tinbre" which differs for every instrument
The piano is richer than the harp, because
its strings are surrounded by case which
iUparts the vibrations Of each string to such
Of the other strings as are in accord with 1t,
thereby causing those nearest in agreement
to accompany every note struck. The pro
portion OF faint notes which accompany the
note played Is different In different kinds Of
musical instruments, being affected by the
snaps OF the case, tho material, etc; hence
tbs difference IA quality of sound.
In talking, the sounds OF the voice are made
nearly all In one note, and articulation u
simply the effect Of rapid and decided vari0-
tons in tho quality or the tinbe of the note,
as if the instrument which was sounding WIS
rapidly changed from an organ to violin,
& piano, etc, as tho different syllables are
pronounced. These changes in the musical
nature Of the mouth are made by using the
tongue, palate. lips and teeth to vary its
shape and bring out the extra vibrations in
the various proportions Of different musical
instruments from moment to moment In
other words, speech or articulation consists
of one tone produced by the voice or vocal
chords, and then modified by the various
shapes which the mouth can assume so as to
possess at will tho quality giving properties
Of any instrument. This infexiblity of the
voice is illustrated by the fact that the voice
can initiate almost any musical instrument.
Many people do not realize that a converse
ton is carried on in nearly a single tone,
With variations in its quality only. When
we vary the pitch of the notes produced by
the voice, as well as the quality, we are sing
ing, and when we vary the pitch without
varying the quality, thst is, without pro-
nouncing words, we are drumming" a tuna
