The Climate OF the Moon,

In illustration of the important eli
matte effects of an atmosphere, / need
do little more than cite the case of the
moon Our satellite is practically at the
same distance from the sun as the EARTH
and in its case also internal heat has no
present effect on the temperature of its
superficial portions. 1t would therefore
Seem that, so far as sun heat is concern
ed the moon must be in much the same
condition as the earth. But if we thence
deduced the inference that the tempera-
ture conditions prevailing on our satel-
lite bear any resemblance to the tenn
perature conditions prevailing on the
earth we should make a great mistake.
Observations of the moons heat show
that its surface is exposed to tremen-
dous range of temperature extending to
hundreds of degrees. 1t has been dem
onstrated that the temperature of the
moon under the full glare of the sun
rises to point in excess of that of boil
ing water, while it is equally certain that
when the sunbeams are withdrawn the
temperature Of the moon sinks to point
far below that with which any arctic ex-
plorer has made us acquainted Here,
then, is aglobe fed just as we are, with
sunbeams, and yet undergoing tremen-
dous vicissitudes of climate, surprising
any changes endured by the earth.
The climatic difference between these
two neighboring globes is certainly con-
nected with the fact that the moon has
very little atmosphere, even if it be not
completely destitute thereof. Our at
mosphere acts as a climatic regulator. 1t
reduces the degree in which the intense
fervor of the sun affects the earth, and
it mitigates the rigor of the cold to
which the earth would be exposed when
the sunbeams are withdrawn. Such an
ameliorating agent is absent from the
moon, and hence arise those violent
extremes of its climatic condition.
We thus see what potent factors the
existence and the extent of an atmos-
phere become in determining the ma
ture of the climate that a planet is to
have. We do not know enough regard
ing the atmospheres of Mars, Venus
and Mercury to be able to draw any GER
tain conclusions with regard to their
climates But this we may at least al
firm, that it seems quite possible for the
different influences we have named to
60 long way toward neutralizing the
contrasts that the climates of these
globes would otherwise present in coll
sequence of the different supplies of sun
beams that they receive at their actual
solar distances So far as mere climate
is concerned, it seems quite possible
that appropriate atmospheres and land
distributions might be adjusted on the
earth and Mars, Mercury and Venus in
such manner that certain organic
types might be common to all the four
globes. Sir Robert Ball in Fortnightly
Review,

A Point in History.

In 1873 Governor Oates of Alabama
contributed an article for the Southern
Historical Society, giving an account
of the battle of Gettysburg, in which he
said that General Farnsworth went
down, horse and man, under the fire of
the Fifteenth Alabama not over forty
steps from where he (Oates) stood;
that lieutenant ran to the PROSTATE
officer and demanded his surrender, to
which Farnsworth replied, 81 will not
do it," and putting his pistol to his
head blew his own brains out. Colonel
Oates adds that he went to the body
and took his (Farnsworth's) shoulder
straps, with star of brigadier gen.
eral, from his coat. Commenting on
this, the Burlington Free Press says:
"This story that General Farnsworth
committed suicide rather than surren-
der is still current at the South; but it
has no foundation in fact. Surgeon
Edson, Of the First Vermont Cavalry,
found and brought in General Farms
worth's body after the battle. He had
received four musket balls in the breast,
but no wound of any description in the
head. He did not expect to return
alive from that desperate charge, and
he fell like a soldier, face to the foe, by
the enemy's fire. He may have refused
to surrender, but he did not take his
own life, although the man who says
he saw him do ii has been made gov
ernor of southern state. "-Troy Times

False Dialect.

The flood of negro talk that has dis
colored our recent literature is not dia-
lect. 1t consists chiefly Of tho vulgarism,
the mispronunoiation and misuse Of
words that come of lack of education
and polite association. Hardly any of it
is even provincialism, and still less is
the survival of old forms and usages.
Nor is it due in any appreciable degree
to locality. In fact. it arises from CON
dition almost wholly and is merely the
lingo of our lowest classes, with small
distinction on account of race and color.
1t is kitchen talk, as distinguished
from that of the parlor and, although it
may occasionally offer us word or
phrase having some pathological or his
torical interest it does not approach the
dignity of dialect. The bad grammar
of illiterate ignorance, without rule or
art, it even lacks the consistency in err
ror with which some Of our writers seek
to invest it, for it recognizes no prece-
dent and follows no analogy.
And yet the real lingo is not half so
bad as it is represented in print. where
it is sought to set it before us phonet-
ically. 1t is obvious that the ordinary
speech of any of our white communities
would look very much like jargon if
subjected to the same phonetic process.
In our common conversation very few
Of us are purists, and precision is gen.
orally regarded as affected and preten-
tious. William G. Elan in Lippin-

SOLDIERS BUDGET.
An Interesting Character.

George G. Crowther, who is the first
republican sent to congress from the
st. Joseph (Mo.) district since 1872,
was born in England, his father being
an iron founder at Athton- Under-Lyme.
Shortly after his birth his father emf
grated to Des Moines, Ia, and went
into business. When George grew into
boyhood he became printers devil in
a newspaper Office at Dakota City, Neb.
He afterward held a case " in the
office of the Council Bluffs Nonpdreil.
AT thirteen he ran IF to join the army,
but was brought back home. He staid
but little while till he found chance
to enlist in the Fourth Iowa Battery,
in which he served till the close of the
war. Then he went back to his trade,
published papers in the boom towns of
Kansas, set type on big dailies, and
finally settled down in the paper bust
ness at St. Joseph, Mo. The republi-
cans took him up, and he was twice
elected to congress. He cut the plu-
rality down from $500 to 1859; was
renominated last year and won the race
by a plurality of 1861. He is live,
energetic man, highly educated, force.
ful speaker and has much personal
magnetism.-Pioneer Press.

The Life Of a Shoe.

According to an intelligent and OBJ
servant member of the trade, the aver
age purchaser of footwear counts the
life of a shoe by the number Of times it
requires residing and heeling. If a shoe
is resoled and heeled twice, the wearer
thinks it is better shoe than the one
which, though giving longer wear, will
hardly bear residing and heeling more
than once. The same retailer claims
that some manufacturers take advantage
Of this knowledge and put inferior leath-
er in the soles and heels and thus attain
the apparently impossible feat of in
oreasing the reputation of their goods by
using inferior material 1t is certain
however, that reputable manufacturers
do not adopt this questionable policy. -

MISCELLANY.
The Stormy March.

The stormy March is come at last
With wind, and cloud. and changing skiesi
hear the rushing of the blast.
That through the snowy valley flies
q All. passing few are they who speak,
~ Wild, stormy month in praise OF thee;
Yet though thy winds Ere loud and bleak
Thou art q welcome month to me.
For thou to northern lands again
The glad and glorious sun dost bring,
And thou hast joined the gentle train
And wear'st the gentle name of Spring.
And in thy reign of blast and storm,
Smile many long, bright, sunny day,
When the changed winds are soft and warm,
And heaven puts on the blue of May.
Then sing aloud the gushing rils,
In Joy that they again are free,
And, brightly leaping down the hills,
Renew their journey to the sea.
The years departing beauty hides
of wintry storms the sulen threat;
But in thy sternest frown abides
look of kindly promise yet.
Thou bring'st the hope of those calm skies,
And that soft time of sunny showers,
When the wide bloom, on earth that lies,
@ ! Seems Of brighter world than ours

"In Little Scandinavia, which in.

impersonator of Yon Yonson and the
originator of Swedish dialect comedy
on the stage, "butchering week each

times of the whole year. The entire

The Vermont Brigade.

From one of "Cannoneer's" articles
in the National Tribune we take the
following: 81 have received letter
from comrade signing himself "A. F.
Gleason, of Harris West Virginia
Brigade but not giving, the number
of his regiment. He says: You never
miss an opportunity to heap praise upon
the Vermont Brigade. You say they
were the best infantry in the world
that they never know what defeat was
that they never bad any stragglers, and
30 forth. And then you cali them the
Old Guard of the Army of the Poto-
mac. Now, admitting for the sake of
argument that ell this is true, will you
explain why it was? Does Vermont
raise better or biaver men than any
other state?' In reply to this have to
Say that the extraordinary quality of
the Vermont Brigade was due to sew
tral facts:
"Q) They were nearly all native
Americans. The exceptions were a
few Irishmen and French Canadians,
who are always good soldiers.
"(2) Most of them were lineal de-
pendants of the Revolutionary heroes
of Bennington and Bemis Nights, Still
water and Saratoga. l have heard
them when starting on bayonet
charge call for Three Cheers for Molly
Stark and 'Hurrah for Ethan Alen!'
"(3) They were all farm or country
village raised boys; not corrupted by
the associations and not enervated by
the vices of great cities.
500 They were in dead earnest.
The anti. slavery sentiment was stronger
and more universal in Vermont than in
any other state. The personal feeling
of the individual soldiers of the Yer
mont Brigade toward the rebels was
more bitter than ever observed in any
other command. 1t was almost equal
to the luminosity of Cromwell's Round
heads toward the Cavaliers.
800 They solidly represented their
state, no other than Vermont troops
being admitted to the brigade, except
one New jersey regiment temporarily,
and their state pride was very great
"(G The officers who commanded
them, from Gen. Lewis Grant down,
had been their near neighbors and
friends at home, and were their close
comrades and friends in the field.

very high. Their losses from disease
were proportionately less than those of
any other similar command in the army.
"All these statements can be verified
by consulting the official records of the
rebellion. In word, l answer Com
rade Gleason's inquiries by saying that
the old Verm ont Brigade was the best
in the army, because it was made up,
more exclusively than any other, of old
fashioned, homespun Yankee soldiers
the truest that ever pulled trigger and
the bravest that ever faced foe."
Cannone er's" claim can be abund-
antly supported by the official figures
anywhere. For instance, in the Wilder
ness fight of Msy 5, 1864, out of 3,096
men of all ranks, the brigade lost 299
killed, $50 wounded, 40 captured, and
just four unaccounted forl Moreover,
most of the captured were wounded.

PROHIBITION PARALYzEp.

The convention has wisely deter
mined to let prohibition alone. That
is right. The intentions of many of the
! advocates of prohibition are good.
They want to strike great evil as
they think at the very root of the
tree. They are mistaken as to the To-
cation of the root, that is all. 1t is not
in the traffic but in the appetite for
intoxicants, and legislation will not go
down so deep as that.
There are others who are fanatical
on the subject and who. having no de-
sire to use the kind of stimulants they
oppose-they may use others almost if
not quite as injurious-they are deter
mined to force everybody to total alb
stinence if possible. For them there is
no respect. They are of the race of
tyrants.
The great objection to the prohibit
tory provision proposed for the con-
stitution is its impracticability in that
form. OF course there are objections
from people who use, or manufacture.
or sell intoxicants, but we do not now
refer to them. In Salt Lake City and
some other parts of Utah it would be
impossible to enforce prohibitory laws.
1t will be found the same wherever a
large majority of the people do not
honestly want the traffic suppressed.
And even where they do, liquor can
not be excluded so long as there are
people, however few, residing there
who will have it. They will either
make it, surreptitiously, or purchase
it elsewhere and bring it in. Expert
ence has demonstrated these to be the
facts.
The Legislature is the proper body
to handle this question. Local option
with prohibition where the people want
it, and high license in other places.
come as near TO a wise regulation of
the trade and traffic as can be devised
under our form of government. The
convention is to be commended for
supporting the majority report, and ex-
Guiding prohibition from the constitu-
ton.
The action Of that body is an en-
phatic denial of the assertion that
equal suffrage means prohibition. They
are separate and distinct theories and
have no necessary connection. We
hope the constitution will be submitted
as one instrument, without any entan-
Cling attachments.
