Calhoun and FRYE.

Calhoun would not permit one senator
to refer to another senator as sslny friend
from Virginia. or as 1.-THE gentleman
from Massachusetts, - The correct
phrase was the senator from Virginia
or "the senator from Massachusetts,. :"
It is said that it was worth journey
across the continent to hear Calhoun an
nounce vote i'll the senate. There was
more of the Roman in his look than in
any other public man Of our history.
His eyes burned like Goals of fire, and
there was dignity enthroned in every
lineament and movement. When Cal
houn announced q vote, he said in a
voice that penetrated the farthermost
recesses of the chamber, 'sSenators, on
this question the yeas are - and the
nays are. The ayes have it, and the
motion is agreed to-. -
Frye is the only man have ever seen
preside over the senate who announces
a vote with that impressiveness we can
imagine Calhoun employed, and it is
doubtful if even Calhoun could utter the
word Senators with more rotundity
than Frye gives it. -Louisville Courier

CURRENT MISCELLANY.

The Paris correspondent Of the London
Morning Post quotes a description by a
French expert of the game of football,
which reads as follows:
Everybody knows that the game of
football consists in projecting a ball
about as large as an apple through the
space between two posts about six yards
high which are placed not more than
one yard apart. The bail may either be
kicked or thrown No player may grasp
an adversary round the body, but every
thing else is allowed, even tripping up
or the most brutal blows. When one
considers that the pitch is Of very linn
tied dimensioGs-20 yards by 25-and
that the number OF players is ~, it is
easy to imagine tie danger run by the
athletes who Indulge in football. All
the players hurl themselves at the one
whR has possession Of the ball. In the
middle of the ground is stand for the
umpire, this being necessary SO that he
shall not be suffocated in the many
brushes which occur. Candles form
the principal part Of the game. This is
what is meant by a candle: A player
takes the ball and throws it as high as
he can into the air. When it comes
down, everybody kicks at once. Thus it
it very frequently happens that foot
baller' receives a kick in his face and
departs minus an eye. So there is al
ways a doctor in attendance Every year
the victims of the Football association
are numerous. But, after all, nobody
will be astonished at the brutality of
the game knowing that it comes from
Spain, the country of these SO sanguin-
airy bullfghts. -

Ether.


The opinion held by many scientific
men that ether is simply very attenu-
ated form of matter was recently COM
bated very ably by Professor Dolbear in
lecture before the Boston Scientific
society He based his position on a COM
parison of the qualities of matter with
those of ether. In II particulars this
comparison was made, his purpose being
to show that matter has definite struc-
ture, the parts of which are different;
that there is a certain calculable guam
tity of it in the universe; that it is
heterogeneous; that one particle attracts
another; that it is subject to friction,
has inertia, is chemically selective,
heatable, elastic and transformer of
energy. In all of these particulars it
differs from the ether, which is struc-
tureless, unlimited in quantity and no
mogeneous, all parts being like all other
parts. Nor is it attractive, or else itwould
have gathered in denser masses near the
sun and other large bodies, nor has it
any inertia or thermical relations, does
not absorb heat, and is not a transformer
of energy. Finally, Professor Dolbea1
points out, ether receives wave yibra-
tions and delivers them without loss at
their destination, and, again, matter
appeals to the senses, which ether does
not
