CHEMICAL ACTIVITIES

The following remarks, interest
ing alike for their novelty and inte-
rest, are from an Introductory Cue
mical Lecture given by DIR. N. A..
Ward, at Salem, Massachusetts.
Chemistry is utterly unable to ex-
plain the phenomena OF vitality. In.
deed, the chemical and vital powers
are direct antagonists. The human
body maintains a successful warfare
with, and effectda!ly resists the in
cessant and combined attack Of all
the forces Of the elements, often for
more than O hundred years, and then
when the divine principle does at
length retire and yield up its fortress,
it is in consequence of subsection To
a cause widely different from that Of
being expelled by the triumphant
power of its assailants. But when
the soul has once fed. then indeed
the chemicai atfiGities come into play,
and the rapidity of their devastation
is terrible. In few days ali traces
Of organization are destroyed; and
in few years two or three gazeous
bodies distributed through the at
mosphere some saline solutions are
widely diffused among the waters OF
the earth, and a few particles df
earthly matter, are all that remain Of
the proud fabric Of man.

WORD TO THOSE WHO ARE FOND OF EASY
RIDING.
The complaint against hard and uneasy
saddles, which is for the most part just
and general one, and is really great grie.
vance to those who have much riding to
do, has caused him to turn his mind par
ticulsrIy to that subject, with view, if
possible, to remedy the evil. He can
with confidence assure the public that be
has accomplished it. The plan projected
is by means of strong and well tempered
steel springs, so constructed as to support
the saddle seat andgive much greater ease
to both rider and borse, than saddles made
IN the common way or any other that he
has ever seen can possibly do. The plan
is entirely different from the English elas-
tic saddles with spring bars Of steel,
whaIebone, &c. and also FROM those with
wire springs, and be conceives much SUI
perior to either, as the elasticity is great
er, and the tree not being put out OF its o.
risinal form, will DOT be subject to hurting
horses on journeys, which is complained
Of in the saddles with spring bars. A
number of gentlemen have those saddles
now in use, aud but one sentiment exists
among them in favor OF thei: superiority.
The invention is equally as applicable to
LADIES' Saddles as to genilemen's. In
point of durability they will be warranted
equal to any other saddles and superior TO
most, JAMES VANSANT..

CATACOMBS OF KtEV.

CATACOMBS OF KEW.
At the Monastery Of Kiev, are the
famous Catacomhs, which 50 many
thousands of infatuated people in the
Russian empire go on foot tn visit e.
very yea,. The preparation for de
scendips into this repository OF tho
dead, was more solemn than the
scene itself; for the monk accom-.
panying us related such incrediile
and riaiculoas stories Of the saints.
whose relics lay there. that we must
have had common share OF credu-
lity to have bell; we'd them. Every
person going down into these vaults
purchases wax taper, and having
lighted it, in solemn silence follows
the monk. who, as he. conducts tho
visitors through these vauitec sepui-
chres of the dead, opens the coffin
lid, unfolds the shroud, and tells the
name of the saint enshrined in that re-
pository: no part Of the body is to be
seen, of course the flesh is all wasted,
and the bones only remain perfect,
from having been kept from the air;
the face and hands are commonly
covered with gold or silver tissue. or
brocade, or some kind Of silk i; q cap
is placed on the head, of the same
material. The Collins arc generally
of cypress wood, but some ofmassive
silver, very richly engraved. There
arc two or three handsome little cha
peIs in these subterraneous passages.
built by some Of their saints, aad
cousecrated for their hours Of pri.
yate devotions. Several cells are
shown, where they say monks, in
VOW Of penance. have had themselves
walled up. aud only little window
left, at which they received daily
their bread and wster, and there re-
manned until their deaths. Inone of
the cells are the twelve masons who
built the church. and then entered as
monks into the monastery.
