Upon the solid rock Beverly, assachusetts,

support from the rock, or to penetrate its sur
face, sent out .ills roots for supplies. These
traveled twenty or more feet over a rocky
ledge until they reached a swamp, and from

the girl quietly informed them that it was a
quarrel of their own, in which she was not
particularly interested, and they must settle it
ammo . b themselves. Whereupon they retired
and settled the difficulty by drawing lots, and
the winner married the girl last week. The
bride declares that she got the one that was her
choice from the first. .
—A Pawtucket man, while riding in a
crowded horse-car, put his elbow through the
window.. He told the conductor that he would
paylfor the glass, but had not the money with
him. The conductor said " all right," and
allowed him to go without even leaving his
name. After reaching home, he sent the Presi
dent of the Company $1 50 to pay for a new
pane of glass. The uprightness and rareness
of the act pleased the latter so much that he
sent him some $2 50 worth of tickets in re
turn: The honesty of the Pawtucket man is
not so wonderful, but the liberality of the Pre
sident is what perplexes us.
Forty-first Congress—Second Session.
In the UniMd States Senate, yesterday, Mr.
Sumner made an explanation in reference to
Gen. Prim's denial, in the Spanish Cortes, that
he had made propositions for the sale or ces
sion of Cuba to the United States. Mr. Sum
ner said that no communication had passed
oetween them on the subject ; but that an
agent coming from Prim arrived in Washing
ton last spring with a proposition for settling
the Cuba question in a manner advantageous
to the Spanish finances. This agent's report,
the details of which Mr. Sumner forbore to
give, became the basis of the propositions made
through General Sickles, as already publishe I.
Mr. Sumner then introduced a bill to provide
for the resumption of specie payments,
which was referred and ordered to
be printed. It provides for the gradual substi
tution of coin as their legal reserve by the
national banks, at the rate of one per cent. a
month; directs the resumption of specie pay
ments by the United States Treasury on the
Ist of January next, provision being made for
that purpose by the retention of surplus coin,
and purchase of more, if necessary; repeals all
acts making anything but coin a legal tender;
suspends the further printing of United States
notes and currency, and retires the mutilated
currency. The Georgia bill was taken up, and
explained.by Mr. Trumbull, after which the
Senate went into Executive session, and ad
journed several hours afterwards.
In the House of Representatives a number
of bills were Introduced, among them one bY
Dir. Starkweather, to prevent prize-fighting;
by Mr. Armstrong, relative to criminal pro
ceedings under the revenue laws; Mr. Butler
(Term.) amendatory of the Civil Rights act;
Mr. Cullom, providing a Territorial govern
ment for the District of Colombia; and Mr.
Rogers,N i abolish the female clerkships under
the Government. Mr. Loughrklge introduced
a joint resolution, which was passed, prohibit
ing the carriage on Western
.steatuboats of
nitro-glycerine, petroleum, naphtha, benzine,
etc. Mr. Marshall offered a resolution deelaring
for a reduction of taxation, and that no tariff
should be imposed on any article above the

highest revenue ;: that the highest ' - duty
should be Unposed upon luxuries, and
that the' tariff ' should operate
as equally as possible throughont the country,
not ; discriminating against' any dais. Mr..
Holman, to test the sense of the House, moved
to table the resolution, which was not agreed
to, the yeas being 88, and the nays 115. The
previous question was then moved but not
seconded, and the resolution was referred to,
the Ways and Means Committee. A Joint re
solution, offered by Mr. Dawes, was passed,
Appropriating an amount equal to one year's
salary of an Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court to the widow and children of . Edwin M.
Stanton. Mr. Butler (Mass.) offered a joint
resolution, which was passed, shelving owners
of homesteads to deduct interest paid on mort
gages from their income returns. The Navy .
Appropriation bill was reported and made the
special order for March 24th. The Deficiency
bill was considered, and the House adjourned.
CITY BULLETIN.
—Lewis S. Foster, the bar-keeper at No. 130
South Ninth street who was stabbed early yes
terday morning during a fight with Patrick
Kelly, did not die yesterday afternoon, as was
erroneously reported. Kelly and Ward, after
having had a hearing at the Central Station in
the afternoon, were taken to the Hospital by
Detective Miller and two other officers, and
were identified by Foster, who said, however,
that Ward bad nothing to do With the matter.
Ald. R. R. Smith subsequently took the affi
davit of Foster, which was as follows : " About
two o'clock this morning • Kelly came into the
place with a couple of friends,
who, after
taking a couple of drinks, left. Kelly and I
then played for a bottle of wine, which I
won. Then we played for money. Kelly
dealt, and I received four kintrs and he four
aces, and without any further ado, ho wanted
to get away with the money. I locked the
front door and put the key in my pocket, and
said, 'Kelly, you don't leave the house with
that money.' Kelly ran out the side-door t and
I went out and tried to pull him in: Kelly
struck me,
and I got him down. He tinned
me over.
After spurning a feiv moments we
separated, and I went into the house and found
I was stabbed. I cried out for an officer, and
saw Kelly in the ~street flourishing something
in his hand, and heard him say finish you
now.' I went liack into the hodse, and was
growing dizzy, when Kelly came up to the
door in company with somebody else, and one
of the two men, fired a pistol at me, but it didn't
take effect."
the American F €.la.z_ova
the subject of a paper read before the Historical
Society of Pennsylvania, last evening, by Wm.
J. Canby, Esq. The paper contains an inter
esting tradition, now first published, well pre
served in the family of Mrs. Elizabeth Clay
poole, to the effect that this lady, with Mrs.
Boss, was the first maker and partial designer
of the flag of the United States, The house
where the first flag was made is stated to be
still standing, No. 239 Arch street,below Third,
a little two-story and attic 'tenement, formerly
o. 89, and first occupied by , Mrs. Claypoole
(whose maiden name was Gziscom), when she
was the widow of her first husband, Mr. John
Ross, who was the nephew of Col. Geo. Ross,
the signer. A committee of Congress, of
whom Col. Ross was one, sworn-,
pauied .by General Washington, in
June, MO, called on Mrs. Ross, who was an
upholsterer, and engaged her to make the flag
from a rough drawing, which, according to her
suggestions, was redrawn by Gen. Washington
himself, then and there, in the back parlor.
The flag, as thus designed, was made by Mrs.
Ross, and adopted by Congress, and was the
first star-spangled banner that ever floated
upon the breeze. Mrs. Ross received the ens
ployment of flag-making for the Government,
and continued in it for many yeafs. Mrs. Ross
was married to Captain Ashburn, who died a
prisoner of war in Mill Prison, England, and
afterwards to John Claypoole, a lineal descen
dant of Oliver Cromwell.

NEW JERSEY MATTERS.
CAMDEN DIRECTOUY.—The enterprising
editor of the West Jersey Press has just pub
lished his Directory of Camden for 1870. It
is the fullest and most valuable book of the
kind ever issued in Camden. It contains a list
of tbe streets, decimal system of numbering
houses, alphabetical list of names, miscella
neous record, Camden city officers, justices
and aldermen ; how officers are elected; literary
associations, City Council, public buildings,
benevolent institutions boundaries of the city,
banks, election distrids, churches, lodges, &c.
Fire department, building and loan associa
tions, military companies, State Govern
ment New Jersey Legislature, officers
of :the State Lunatic Asylum, time
of holding courts, officers of the different
counties, and a hundred other useful references.
Among the curiosities which works of this
character exhibit we find that in Camden there
are 29 persons by the name of Jones, 47 John
sons, 70 Smiths, 11 Shiuns, 38 browns, 21
Brownings, &c. The book contains 6,760
names, which, allowing an average of four
persons to a family, would give, on this basis,
an approximate population f 27,040 indi
viduals. But this is evidently too much. The
real number of inhabitants, when the census
is taken, will not be much over 23,000. As a
work of reference, this Directory is invaluable
for all business men in Camden, and for others
who have dealings with the people of the city.
GAS MATTERS AGAlN.—Complaints are
again quite numerous and strong in regard to
th excessive charges on various gas bills in
Camden.. A month or two ago the Company
made a nominal deduction in the price of gas
of twenty per cent., but consumers allege that
since then the bills have been higher than
previously, with the same or less consump
tion of gas. There should be some way by
which this discrepancy may be satisfac
4er!inain.tp‘i hPt.wPPn both_parties. It_is to
the Company's interests as well as to the con
sumer's, for a large number of persons are
discontinuing the use of gas altogether, and
substituting oil. The Company have it all
their own way in counting the number of feet
passing through the meters, and are as liable to
snake mistakes as any other individual in re
cording, and this may, be the reason of so
much complaint. A simple and easy way to
remedy this would Ise to place two meters pre
cisely alike in each house where gas is used, so
arranged that it will pass through both. One
of these meters to be under the exclusive con
trol of the Company, and the other of the con
sumer, or some honest persons appointed
by either respectiVely. . This would show
the dillerence, if any, in the measurement,
and one would act as a check upon the other.
In cases, therefore, of material discrepancies,
the matter. could be easily adjudicated, and
thus couiplainbi would be fewer, and better
satisfaction given. The Company would lose
nothing, and the bad feelings now .existing
would gradually die away. Let the experiment
be tried, and the proposed erection of new gas
works, at a heavy cost, will be unnecessary.
COMMITTED.—The two men, Amon Shaw
and Wm. Munsbing, arrested on Sunday night,
charged with assaulting Franz Fates, were yes
tfuday committed, in default of .5500; to an
swer at Court, by Mayor Cox.
PIJBLIC MEN OF OTHER DAYS.
Some of Ex• Gov. Hey Recollections
of I them..
[From the Vtica Herald.]
The last lecture of the course before,the
Utica Mechanics' Association was delivere at
Mechanics' Hall by Gov. Seymour s laSt evening.
The subject selected, "Recollections of Public
Men," together with the reputation of the
speaker, brought together a large audience.
Gov. Seymour introduced his subject by re
felling to the remarkable body of men, who
forty years ago assembled in the halls of Con
gress, and occupied 'prominent. places before
the American public. These were men who
lived during eras marked by remarkable events,
who had 'been schooled in oratory and had
profited by the study of eminent masters 'of
education. The habits of the people at that
time were such that the utterances of public
men made a deep impression, and their course
was closely watched and keenly criticised. Of
1113 personal recollections of some of the
eminent men of that age, Mr. Seymour pro-
posed to speak. John Randolph he charac
terized as the sensational man of his day; a
man of strange appearance, a strong mind and
keen wit; in face and dress somewhat remind
ing one of an old woman. Alexander Stevens,
ofGeorgia, bears a resemblance to Randolph.
In disposition, Randolph was sharp, shrewd,
impatient, and disposed to be malignant.
Mr. Seynfour met John Quincy Adams in
Washington, and at his residence met Henry
Clay - Adams he , described as a small man
with a frigid, uninviting, formal manner. This
reserve he attributed to the early associations
thrown around Adams in his youth, when his
native New England was governed by a system
of niptual inspection. Clay was, on the con
trary, genial and winning .in his manner and
address. In private life• Mr. Adams possessed
ability to interest from his vast fund of per
sonal observation, and in a great measure cast
aside his reserve. He was a. man of great,
strength of will ; thoroughly in love with pub-,
lie life, and determined to die, as he did die,
with his harness on.
Gen. Jackson was a tall, erect, commanding
man, with much of the military chieftain in his
appearance, strong-willed, and perhaps pos
sessed of a quick temper ; but holding his
temper well under control. No man of his
time could get mad so judiciously. He was a
good judge of human nature, and always knew
his man before losing histemper. Uneducated
himself, and surrounded by able and dis
ciplined minds, he always did his own thinking,
and to the last moment of his life exereised
great control over the public mind. To this
day public men are advised to "do as Jackson
did."
In person John C. Calhoun was not unlike
Jackson, except that Calhoun possesied won
derful eyes. Ile had a keen insight into the
future, and was a prophet rather than a 'con
spirator. In speaking he depended entirely
upon his reasoning powers. The first word of
his speech was the first word of his argument,
and the'last word of his argument was the last
word of his speech. He possessed no faculty
of judging character, but fascinated by his
straightforward, frank way with his fellow
men.
I3etween Clay, Jackson and Calhoun the re
seniblance was wonderful. It was because
Clay and Jackson were so much alike that they
hated each other as they did. Clay possesSed
a rich voice, inusical even to his enemies. He
was chivalrous, patribtic ; by naturea politidian
as well as a statesman.
Webster was characterized as , the greatest,
and yet the weakest of them all. By. native
intended for a writer and a 'student, and yet a
great man,great Wherever placed. The triumphs
for which he is remembered are literary
triumphs. •
Among meu from Oneida county, henry It.
. ,
'Storrs was characterized by eminent public
!men as "he froin'Oneida county who excels us
ail in debate." Although now nearly forgotten
even here, he was the greatest American orator
after Patrick Henry. He was a man of portly,
commanding presence,with a wonderfully musi
cal voice, only equalled by the voice of Clay.
Ins erratic and' uncertain temperament was
assigned 'as the reason why he bad 'been so
soon forgotten. , •
Attorney-General Taleott, also 'of this
county, was at times grand in his eloquence.
Chief Justice Marshall said that Taleott made
the greatest legal argument he ever listened' to,
Of our men noted at that time onlyone repre
sentative is left, the Hon. W. J. Bacon, late
Justice of the Supreme Court.
In *elusion, the speaker believed that the
average American intellect was improving, but
diverted from the channels where these men
sought'renown. Then, too, men to be heard
must be in earnest. These mon were swayed
by strong passions; they believed in the
wickedness of their enemies., Now men are
fiercely attacked, but the accusers are not
credited, and we hardly dare assail a political
man, for we know not how soon we may be
called upon to affiliate with him in party mea
sures.

HISTORY OF ANCIENT ECLIPSES
Prof:Norton% Lecture Last Evening
THE sfrAn pOVESE OF LECTURES
Professor Morton's lecture on Eclipses, last
eve ning, was a repetition of the previous
orayin the vast crowd, Which, after occupying
every seatillled the aisles.and lined the walls
of the Academy, and. in the 'beauty And suc
cess of the experiments ; but in the method of
treating the subject, and in a number of the
illustrations, it may be regarded as anew lee.;
ture.
Precisely at eight o'clock the curtain rose,
and the speaker,conaing forward, began as fol
low 4:
A total eclipse of the sun is beyond doubt
one of the most impressive of 'Nature's silent
phenomena. The crash of a tropical thunder
storm, the scream of a' tornado, the roar of a
volcanic eruption, or the subterranean thun
der of an earthquake, add an element
of terror and personal alarm ; but this very
distraction of the mind diminishes, beyond a
doubt, its capacity for appreciating the . full
sublimity of the visible changes which are
taking place.
The earliest record of an eclipse is that
which the famous Astronomer Bailly (who
has had the good fortune to associate his
name with one of the striking telescopic phe.
nomena of a solar eclipse) mentions in his
work entitled " Histoire de l'Amtronomie
Ancienne," as recorded in the Chinese annals.
It is there stated that in the reign of Chow_
Kong, about 2,169 before our era, an eclipse
occurred which the royal astronomers had
failed to predict, and were put to death in
consequence. Fortunately for the world of
science, and for the unscientific world, which
se often has benefited by the labors
of the former, so severe a penalty on neglect
has not been generally enforced; for on
the 12th of July, 1684, a total eclipse was
predicted at itome, but, possibly for want
of the proper ecclesiastical sanction, did
not present itself—a simple occultation
being all that was observable. Such an error.
mainly due to imperfect data in the shape of
tables, has, of course, since then becomo im
possible but it Is inWresting to notice that
Tycho-Brahe, in 1600, denied the possibility
of a total eclipse, in spite of the description
given by Cloth's of that seen at Coimbia in
MO, of which there were then thousands of
living witnesses. Tycho's theory enjoyed but
a brief existence, however, for in 1605 oc
curred a total eclipse, visible at Naples, which
left the theory of the famous astronomer in
serious need of revision. Speaking of these
errors, or oversights, it is curious that Arago,
in a list of total eclipses to the year 1900, whiett
he allude* to as complete, makes. no mention
either of last year's or of that visible the year
before In Arabia and India.
Passin • from the ancient Chinese _ •
fatal to astronomers and apparently also
astronomy, for we find no.sother eclipse re
corded in these same annals until the year 800
11. C., we next come, in order of. importance,
to one which has been made available by the
Astronomer Royal of England, in an miter
' able manner, for the correction of lunar tables
with reference to ancient periods.
Soon after the beginning of that famous re
treat of the ten thousand Greeks led by the
historian-general Xenophon, the outnum
bered but indomitable army reached the banks
of the Tigris, at the site of a theu ancientand
ruined city, which, from the minute deserip
tiOil of its location and structure, Layard has
fully identified with 'the modern mound of
Nimroud, or the ancient palace-crowned
Nineveh. The Greeks were told that this city
was named Larissa, and that it had been cap
tured by the Persians from the Modes by.rea
kin of, and during an unnatural and terror
inspiring otiscumtion of the sun.
Believing this statement to be the record of
a total solar eclipse, the Astronomer Royal
proceeded to- calculate the exact path of
shadow for the various eclipses which must
have occurred in the vicinity of the probable
date. That of October 22d, r, 68. C., proved
unapplicable ; so also , did that of June
18th, 548; but at last, on developing that
of Mav 19th, B. C:SSS, Mr. Airy found that its
central shadow must have at least pared near
the bite in question.
Just then were completed Prof. Hansen's
elaborato'Lunar Tables, and also those required
to compute the sun's place in the tnost distant
ages; and moreover, the same eminent math
ematician, at Mr. Airv's requost, 'computed
from these improved data the - places of the
snn and moon for this and other eclipses yet
to be noticed.
It was then found that on the 19th of May.
B. C. 51.;6,a total eclipse swept across the earth,
with a narrow black shadow, that passed cen
trally over the city of Nitleveh, then no doubt
besieged by the Persian army under Cyaxarea,
and, by its terror-inspiring gloom, drove the.
defenders from the walls and left the city a
prey to its enemies.
But this is not the only interest attaching
itself to this event. In order that this eclipse
and others which we' will presently notice
should be possible, we must assume that the
time of the earth',, rotation has not been unal
terable from all time, but that In former ages
it was more rapid than now, by some traction
of a second in a year. In other words, that our
earth-motion is in exceedingly slow but very
sure course of running down ; , and thus, in a
new way, does the fall of " the great Nineveh"
'serve as a memento of the ephemeral and
transitory nature of not only human affairs,
but of the very material uniVerse itself.
• But it may be said—is this not too wide and
vast an inference to draw from a single fact?
Such indeed would be the C,380 did this fact
stand alone, but far otherwise is the truth.
Diodorus Siculis and Justin tell us that
Agathoeles, a military adventurer, who had
made himself master of Syracuse and a large
part of Sicily, being blockaded in. his capital
by a Carthagenian Beet, escaped during a tem
porary
withdrawal of these forces, and reached
' in six days the,
coast of Africa, at a _point
which has been most clearly identified with
Alhowareah, on Cape Bon, having encoun
tered on the second day a total! eclipse of the
sun. This eclipse has also been calculated by
the Astronomer Royal ; and making the same
assumptions as are required in the case of the
Larissa or Nineveh eclipse,it isfound that one
occurring on the sth of August, 309 B. C.,
would fulfil the historic conditions.
Again, llerodotus tells of a battle between
the Medes and Lydians interrupted by an
eclipse which caused both parties to abandou
a long-protracted war. This eclipse, he more
over says, had been predicted by Thales, and
by his name it has been known. Similar cal
culations to the others already mentioned, lo
cate this eclipse across the southern part of
Asia Minor, on the 28th of May, 584 B. C.
Finally, we have on August 81st, A. 12). 1030, the battle of Stiklastad, in Norway,"inter
rupted by a total eclipse. The conditions we
have noticed before are essential to the recon
ciling of these various events; or, in other
words, without such allowances, If one of
these eclipses was located as described, the
others could not have existed iu tile regions
mentioned.
You see, then, that we may rely With confi
dence upon the conclusions based upon so
wide a range of facts, and, moreover, find our
first assertion of the profound effects produced
on men's minds and on national events fully
supported by repeated illustrations.
The Professor next turned to his large orrery,
with a magnesia -lit sun, by means of which
the astronomical relations of total, partial and
annular eclipses were in a few minutes &Mon
strated In reference to the optical conditions
of an eclipse the same beautiful experiments
of the colored shadows and flight of sun spirits,
shown in the first lecture, were again repeated,
with equal if pot superior success.
The reproduction of a total eclipse then fol
lowed, with its first contact, solar crescent, •
Bailly's beads, and sudden outburst of corona
and solar prominences at the instant of to
lali ty.
some brightly colored pictures, by Mr.
Lackyer, loaned to Prof. Morton by Prof. J.
P. Cooke, of Cambridge, wore then shown
and explained, illustrating the solar promi
nences ; and the revelations of the spectro
scope, as to the nature of the prominences,
were illustrated by a beautiful experiment,
devised by Prof. E. C. Pickering, of Boston . .
A continuous spectrum, ten feet in length,
lI'SES
_., ..
was thrown upon a paper screen, with all its
glow of rainbow colors, and then,lhis amen
• being dropped, on a- sheet of black lace' be
hind- appeared an .immense duplicate of the
proininence and solar spectraaa seen in. the
spectrum telescope. . • . i -
Then followed a reproduetion of solar prom- ,
inences by means of a tank of water with a
colored stratum at the . bottom and a coil of
wire heated by an eleetriecurrent. Then came
the pictures of dm corona, and an illustratiOn
•of its supposed corruseations . by means of the .
Chatheleon top for the lantern, devised by
Professor Morton for this lecture. hero a disk
of thirty feet in diameter was produced on the
screen, and covered with a brilliant centre
and Corruscating rings of blending colored ,
light, 'suggesting the opening out into bloom
of seine magical and gigantic flower.
In further illustration of the corona were
then cxibited a nplendid set of Geissler tubes,
coinpriningsotne three dozen new , tubes in ad
dition
to those last used, and two sets so ar
ranged as to be exhibited in rapid rotation.
and thus resembling scintillating stars of bril
liant and ever.changing colored rays.
Lastly, in illustration of solar heat and the

sparks as before. '
The whole lectiire was literalty a brilliant
success, and added much to the high 'reputa
tion already won by our distinguished young
townsman.
Position of Instruments In the Orchestra.
Another attempt to solve that difficult ques
tion, the best position of the various orches
tral forces in the concert-room orchestra, has
been recently -made at the Crystal Palace by
Mr. Mantis, whose new arrangement displays
so much artistic forethought as to merit in this
place a short description. The prime Idea
seems to have been the collection of all the
bass Instruments, with the exception of the
bass trombone and ophicleide,in a compact cen
tral mass, so as to form a solid pivot of founda
tion tone,
and to secure in the slowly vibrating,
deep•toned instruments greater readiness of
attack, by bringing the whole of the bass
masses directly under the conductor's baton.
The wind instruments Mr. Manns places on
his left, with the exception of the trombones
and euphonium; a feature which may be com
mended as enabling the director with his dis
engaged hand to indicate the points of entrance
to this section of his forces.
The reeds are placed in fours,with the lowest
toned instruments toward the centre, in ac..
cordance with the prime idea of the scheme,
that of centralizing the bass tone. The group
ing of this department is thoughtful, and in
accordance with the general scoring principles
of the great masters. The flutes and clarinets
are in the front line of the wind ; the double
reed instruments, the oboes and bassoons,come
next and to the rear of these are stationed the
four horns, at the back of which, lastly, but
verging towards the mtre,are the trumpets or
• • •
arm s masa.,a niV9lld Uleletag tne
scheme is the isolated position of the trombones
and euphonium, which, placed.at the back of
the orchestra to the conductor's right, retain
tl.eir old and usual position in the
concert-room. The result occasionally
is that the trombone tone passeS
through the mass of strings in front in
raw gusts of sound, in consequence of being
too far from the modifying influence of the
horn tone. Another disadvantage in this dis
position of the orchestral force is the spreading
out of the mass of violins to the' extreme edges
of the orchestra, the first to the left of the con
ductor, and the second to the right. In pas
sages in Ithich the violins work together in
thirds or sixths, as in the accompaniments to
llandel's." For unto us a Child is born," this
arrangement must result in a direct loss of
sympathy. There is also an important feature
In modern orchestral music, the employment of
the mass of violoncellos in broad melodies,
which Mr. Matins' plan does not. appear to
,have taken account of. Iu some of the
Continental orchestms the violoncellos
are massed together, and all the contra
basses are placed in close proximity; by this
arrangement the old method of setting one
violoncello and a contrabass to play for the
same copy is avoided, and the violoncellos,
gaining greater unanimity of attack and soli
darity of tone, produce a more passionate and
penetrating effect. In the performances of one I
of Ilandel's oratorios we should, of course,
advocate the old method of placing the basses
two and two. The best position for the dif
ferent orchestral masses has probably still to
be found; and as the' Instrumentalists cannot,
like the companies of a regiment, be ordered
to the front by turns as required, there will
always be drawbacks to set against any gains
which may be obtained by change.- 7 .lfusician,
