The question of a memorial to Jenny
Lind in Westminster abbey has been agi
tated, and the admirers of the Swedish
nightingale were fearful that they would
probably fail in their object The point
was made against her that there is no room
in the Pantheon of England for vocal ar,
tist--that place being consecrated to crea-
tive genius. Finally permission having been
given for a medallion to be set up in the
abbey, somebody has sent out circulars beg
ging for subscriptions to pay for the medal
lion, which will cost between f400 and
$500, including the abbey fees. As the me
dallion must of necessity be small, the
question is how much of the money goes
severally to the artist, the artisan and the
abbey.-LOndon Letter.

How Boston Man Saw IA sun spot.

A Boston man living out in the suburbs
has discovered fact that may interest a
good many persons What he found was
that it is quite possible, to see the larger
spots that appear on the suns surface with
out glass or lens of any kind.
The shutters of the observers house hap
pened to be closed, and through tiny hole
near the top of them a beam of sunlight
found its way to the floor. There is left an
image. clear and round, tiuged at the cir
conference with fringe of blue and or
ange The whole appearance of the beam
as projected reminded the spectator of the
image of the sun taken on paper through n
telescope, and he got IA sheet of white note
paper in order to test his surmise The re
suit confirmed it. A beautiful round image
of the sun fell on the paper, and near the
center thereof could be seen a blush spot,
which moved about with the image when
ever the paper was shifted. The blush
colored object was veritable sun spot, and
the observer watched it by the simple
means described for several days until the
revolution of the sun had carried it out OF
sight Herald.

The First Measure Of rimn.

1t was the moon and not the sun which
first suggested to mankind the circle of til,
year as measure of time. The sun exhib
its no changes Of appearance, and his light
obiterates all the landmarks Of the sky. A
luminary which is the same yesterday, to
day and tomorrow might give rise to con
ceptions of perfection and eternity, but be
ycnd the alterations OF day and night il
could suggest to mems minds no abstrac.
measure of time. But with our humble
satellite it is far otherwise, The regularly
recurring phenomena OF new moon and full
moon are too marked to escape the atten.
tion of the most obtuse and unrefleeting OF
savages
The motion Of the sun may be compared
to that of the minute hand of clock,
sweeping on hour after hour without leav-
ing much record of its comparatively vast
journey; the progress OF the moon, on the
contrary, may be likened to that of the
hour hand, which registers the movements
of its companion, and resolves them into
twelve well defined periods. -Gentleman's .

Carlyletook a friend, and much younger
man, out walking with him, and in his
usual way indulged in monologue in
which, nevertheless, his companion was
much interested. Once Or twice, however,
the friend Yentured to put in word OF
two of objection in regard to something
said by Carlyle. This annoyed Carlyle in
tensely, and when they reached home he
turned upon his companion and addressed
to him the following warming: 'Young

rope The poor man had hardly spoken a
dozen words, but since these had heen crit
ical they had made him seem to Carlyle a
potential bore of colossal proportions.
Many men in this way get uniustly called
bores- They venture TO doubt some state
ment made in conversation and are at once
branded with the most terrifying Of names
These unfortunate persons are in truth not
bores at all, but merely the innocent de
tectors Of the latent capacity Of boring in
others Carlyle showed by his speech what
was indeed the fact, that he, not his friend,
possessed the potentiality of boring. 1t il
