~ A Schoolboy's Essay on Heads. Heads are of different shapes and different sizes. They are full of no tions. Large heads do not always hold the most. Some persons can tell just what a man is by the shape of his head. High heads are the best kind. Very knowing people are call ed long-headed. A fellow that won't stop for anything or anybody is call ed hot headed. If he isn't quite so bright, they call him soft-headed ; if he won't be coaxed nor turned, pig headed. Animals have very small heads. The heads of fools slant back. When your head is cut off you are be headed. Our heads are all covered with hair, except bald heads. There are other kinds of heads besides our head. First, there are barrel-heads. Second, there are pin heads. Third, heads of sermons—sometimes a minis ter used to have fifteen heads to one sermon. Fourth, head-wind. Fifth, head of cattle—when a farmer reekons np his cows and oxen he calls them so many head of cattle. Sixth, drum heads—drumheads are made of sheep skin. Seventh, heads of tails—when you toss up pennies. Eighth, double headers—when you let off rockets. Ninth, come to a head—like a boil or a rebel lion. Tenth, cabbage-heads— dunces are called cabbage-heads, and good enough for them. Eleventh, at loggerheads—when you don't agree. Twelfth, head of chapters. Thirteenth, head him off—when you want to stop a horse or a boy. Fourteenth, head of the lamily. Fifteenth, a blunder head. Sixteenth, the masthead— where they send sailors to punish them. Seventeenth, get up to the head—when you spell the word right. Eighteenth, the head of a stream— "where it begins. Nineteenth, down by the head—where a vessel is deep loaded at the bows. Twentieths fig ure-head carved on a vessel. Twenty first, the cathead,and that's the end of a stick of timber that the ship's an chor hangs by. Twenty-second, a headland; or a cape. Twenty-third,a head of tobacco. Twenty-fourth, a bulkhead, which is a partition in a ship. Twenty-fifth, go ahead—but first be sure you are right. Division of Labor in Earthquakes. Richard A. Proctor thus discourses in Longman's Magazine upon the consanguinity of earthquakes .• Those who recognize or imagine a connec tion Jjatween the earthquakes in s "t>lvqt and the movements occurring within the volcanic legion of Southern Europe, remarked that during all the time that England was thus disturb ed, the region of which Vesuvius is the principal outlet, had been quiescent. It is perhaps rather con venient for the theory of connection between British and the Vesuvian yolcanic region, that we may recognize evidence in favor of the theory,whether disturbance in one region synchronizes with disturbances in the other, or, on the other hand, with a time when the other region is unusually quiescent. Yet it must be admitted that even the apparently contradictory forms of evidence de rived from the quiescence of Vesuvius and its feliow-crators on the other, when British earthquakes occur with exceptional violence, may in reality point in the same direction. For on the smaller scale it certainly has been observed that within the Vesuvian region itself, at a time when Vesu vius is at rest, the minor" craters of this region are often found to be un usually active, while yet at times, when Vesuvius is in violent eruption, these same volcanoes seem exception ally active too It is as though when Vesuvius rests they tried to do the work which Vesuvius is neglecting, while, when Vesuvius is very active, they try to help the greater crater by sharing in its labors. It may, there fore, quite possible be the case that distant volcanic regions may show their kinship as much by alternating throes as by simultaneous disturban ces. Political Conventions, At length the momentous day dawns, and the convention assembles. It us ually sits in some vast building which contains eight or nine times as many spectators as the whole number of delegates. The scene is imposing and inspiring. The proceedings being in an orderly manner, but at the first inter ruption, or the taising of any doubtful point, the inflamable nature of the as sembly is apparent. Every favorite name or motion which suits the humor of the convention is received with a tumult of acclamation which would be astonishing and appalling to one unac customed to great popular assemblies. At the moment of highest excitement, as when the nomination is actually made, the frenzy is resistless. The yast throng is standing on the floor and on the seats, shouting, yelling, and of ten weeping with mere nervous ten sion ; arms are shaken wildly aloft with hats, handkerchiefs, fans, news papers, or whatever may bo at hand, and the uncontrollable roar is so over powering that the brassband, which is playing at its loudest, is entirely inau dible. The president of the conven tion wisely refrains from any effort to check the prodigious uproar, knowing very well that it will presently exhaust itself, and that of its own accord and by its own instinct the convention will again 4i please to be in order." This is, perhaps, the most striking impression of the whole week of the convention, with all its conflicts and confusions that it is an assembly of persons of un limited abandonment to expression of every kind, but also of a babit of self control and restraint which makes any perilous or riotous excess impossible. They will 4 -have their say out," bid they will also have order when all is said. The sergcant-at-arms in the con vention, like the police in the city and at the hotels,is a ceremony. The dele gates take care of themselves, and each defends the peace of all.— Harper } s Monthly. VELOCITY OF SOUND. —Josh Hillings was asked, "How fast does sound travel?" His idea is t bat it depends a good deal upon the noise you are talking about. "The sound ova din ner-horn, for instance, travels half a mile in a second, while an invitashun tew git up in the morning i have known to be 3-quarters uv an hour goin\2 pair of stairs, and then not hev strength enuff left to be heard.''

JOHN BULL'S Sfflil'sTeiSinj FOR THE CURE OF FE¥ER and AGUE Or CHILLS and FEVER, AND ALL MALARIAL DISEASES, - The proprietor of this celebrated medi cine justlv claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to the public for the SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PER MANENT core of Ague aad Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long stand* ing. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no ease whatever will it fail to cure if the direc tions are strictly followed and carried out. In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole femi* lies have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been checked, more especially in difficult and long-standing cases. Usu ally this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Bhould the patient, however, require a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonie, a single dose of BULL'S VEGETABLE FAMILY FILLS will be suf ficient. BULL'S SARSAPARULA is the eld and reliable remedy for impurities of the blood and Scrofulous affections—the Xing of Blood Purifiers. DR.
