Bomo yoars ago an amor- ous Xowan, Caligula Orphous Porrine by wamo, fell in lovo with, won, and married a young lady living in Indianapolia. Both wero possossed of o fow thousand dollars, and, after the brief but concontrated buppiness of tho' honeymaon was over, they cast around to find oat tho most lue- rative employment in which they could combine thoir respective capitala, After due cousidara- tion, thoy deciued that there was in this world 1o moro romantic or ‘Pmflmblu occupation than that suggestod by Watts' ode- which remarke ‘upon tho habits of thoe energetic bao who Gathers Lioney all the day From every opening flower, At tho time of thoir ontoring upon the honoy busiuess, not & cloud obacured tho brightuess of thoir united lives, nud no_suspicion of fuiure troublo entered upon their most disngreeable dreams, DBy dint of studying deeply tho teolni- cal parts of Fonimora Coopor'a novel of Oni Openinge, or the Bes-Huntor," Porrino bocamo uito an accomplished findor of tho Launts of the Towa wild beo, and, with hie wife's aid in tho fivet yoar of married lifo, thoy succeeded in securing soveral tons of Lonoy, which gold at o ligh figuro in the Chicago market, aud lot Por- | rino and his wifo “somo £B,000 ahond . on their first yem's oporations. But, after two years of unintorrupted wedded blles and uniformly succossful bee-hunting, a misundor- stauding came nnd robbed the home of tho Per- rines of ita peace and hnfimuneu.

To the Editor of The Chicago hllbxmz: Bir: Inyour roply to “H.'s" lotter, a fow days since, you dony thot tho atteaction of tho earth can bo considored as one of the rolarding cauges of a pondulum’s vibration. I have found this statoment a stumbling block in understand- ing tho tollowing sontonocs whioh I have quotad from tho ortioles on the *Pondulum” and tho ' Earth," in Chambers' Encyolopodis. Bpealk- ing of tho various propertics of the pendulum, it saya: “ Experiments with the pendulum, too, show a decronso of Lhe force of gravity from tha poles towards the equator,”—ovidently roferring to tho fact that it is afiected by gravity, and, if affected, it must be in the way of refardation. To quote again: ** A pendulum of given langth is 8 most delicato instrumont for the mersurement of tho relative amounts of the carth's attraction at difforent ploces.” Tao the writor thess statements. seom to con- flict with tho principlo that the oarth's attraction I8 not ono of the rotarding causos to the swing of the pendulum. . Will you kindly give an ex- plavntion ? I Cnicaao, Feb, 25, 1874, Axswsn.—The fact that the force of geavity, and, theroforo, tho length of the scoond’s pendu~ lum, varioa with tho latitude, doce not affect the oporation of the law that ‘' Action and reastion aro cqual.” Whatover bs the magnitude of] the force with which the pendulum 18 drawn towards the porpondicular, tho momentum thus acquired would bo sufflcient to carry the ball to an exactly equnl distance boyond the porpendicular, if thoro woro no friction at tho point of suspension, and tho pendulum moved in & porfoct vacuum. Of course, the pondulum ls affected by gravity, which ia the cause that prodnces the offect called yibration, or swingiug. It is for tho vory ronson that tho earth's attractive force is tho grand cnugo of tho movomont that it is not n retarda- tive force in the ease of the Pundulum, excopt in tho secondary way, that gravity is iteelf the cause of friction, AMUSEMENTS, _AMUSEMENTS, MoVIUKER'S THEATRE, ENGAGEMENT OF EDWIN BOOTH.
