AN CsslFIED MAN.-In the museum al
Dublin, there is skeleton of one Clerk, 4
native of the city ofCork, whom they call
the Ossifed Man, one of the greatest Curl
osi,ies of nature. 1t is the carcass ola man
entirely ossi6ed in his lifetime, living in that
condition several years. Those that knew
him before this surprising alteration, affirm
he had been q youn' mau Of great strength
and agility. He felt the first symptoms of
this surprising change sometime afer he
had lain all night in the fields, aGer de-
baucb, till by degrees every part grew into
q bony substance, excepting his skin, eyes
and ntestincs. His joints settled in such a
manner, that no ligament had its proper op-

AMERICAN STATUARY MARBLE.

We have authority for stating that Mr..
FEarHERsroNHAUGH, U. S. Geologlst, has
asccrtained the existance ofsome important
de,osites of white sta'uary marble, in the
Cherokee country. He has followed an oh
scure ridge in the mountains six miles, con-
sisting entirely Of that valuable substance,
hitherto only seen in the United States in
thin beds, not exceeding few inches. lie
reports one of these deposi,cs as equal 10
that of .Carraro, in Italy, with which
he is familiar. Marble fthis kind has been
hitherto brought, at a great expense, from
Italy We trust this additional development.
Of our mineral resources will be highly ad-
yantageous to the fine arts. in the hands OF
our men Of genius. Greece and l;aly owe
much oflheir celebrity in sculpture to the
abundance ofstatuary marble in those coun:
tries. We imagine that if Phidias and
Praxitcles had been Obliged to import their
material from foreign countries, pos:erlty
would never have possessed the nobless ex-
amples of ar, which their genius has be-
ouea.hed to n1ankinl.-Nat. MteN.

The Madisonian at Washington has come

The Madisonian at Washington has come
out against the ssub Treasury system" recon-
mended by tue President in his message; that
is, the project to have the possession and con-
troll of the revenue in the hands of the Presi-
dent himself and officers of the Treasury
appointed by him. The Richmond Enquirer
and the New York Times, two Of the most
influential of the administration prints, have
also taken velr' decided against it, and
the Albany Argus, one ofthe ultra papers on
the same side, advocates it only as a tempo
rary expedient. From these evidences ofpub-
lie opinion Qor if they do not originate in public
opinion, they will contribute in no small degree
to form it) we consider i: very improbable that
the sheme will succeed.
We extract the following sentences from
long article in the Richmond Enquirer on the
subject.

Mr.. Allen, the Editor of the Madisonian,
who has been ELECTED Printer to the House
of Representatives, not kaving printing es-
tablishment of sufficient extent TO do the
work, has engaged the Editors Of the Ma

may perhaps be considered some evidence that
the portion of the Administration party which

called conservatives" have a stronger afiin-

Abstract from thereport ofthe Secretary Of the
Treasury.


According TO the Treasurer's running
account :hc whole amount Of available mon.
ev in the Treasury on the Is! Of January
1887, applicable 10 public purposes, was
$42,465, ,s59,97. From that sum there
we're on that day reserved s5,Oo0,Ooo; and
the balance being S36,46S,s59,97, was
under the provisions of the act Of June 90,
1885, to be placed in deposite with the
States. 1t is asccrtained that 27i0C3,430,
50 oft have since been actually received by
them.
The amount of that portion Of the first
three instruments, the payment Of which
has not been acknowledged. through trans.
ters were seasonably issued for ii, is 81,
195,575,ls. The remainder is $9,367,
2l4, 9s, and is the sum which was desi gn-
ed for the fourth enstalment'o de2ositcs with
the States on the lst Of October next. The
amount reserved in the Treasury on the 1st
af January has since been increased by re-.
turns subsequently received from banks,
to the sum of $6,970.l37,52; aid which

INDIANS FOR FLoaIDA-Orlers, VIC under
stand, have been issued by the Secretary OF
War to Major Dougher,y, Superintendent OF
Indian Affairs on the Upper Missouri, to take
one thousand Indian warriors to Florida, if
they can be induced to 60. The order, as re-
port says, directs Major Dougherty to procure
the service of 400 Shawanees, 200 Sacs and
Foxes, 200 Delawares and 200 kickapoos.-
The Major is to accompany the Indians not
in the character Of commander, but as agent,
and for his services is TO have Colonnl's pay.

If this be true, it seems to indicate that the
Government has found itself unable to subdue
the miserable scattered remnants of the Semi
noles. We consider it cruel as well as impo-
litic to engage one tribe of Indians to fight
another, when the Government aims to teach
and even compel them to be at peace among
themselves.

descend after separating it from the balloon,
Owing to some defect in the construction or
management ofthe. parachute, it oscillated so
violently in its descent when separated from
the balloon that the basket containing the I'm.
fortunate adyenturer became detached from it

precipi'ated, of course with great rapidity.-
The man was literally dashed to pieces.

CONGRESS. OR accounts from this body
are deWI to Sept. 18th. Bills have been in
trodGcsd, in the Senate, by Mr.. Wright iron
the Committee on Finarce, and in the House
by Mr. Cambreling, from the Cemmitte of
Ways and Means, providing for the issuing of
Treasury notes, bearing interest. which may
be paid such to creditors Of the Government as
are willing to rece've them; and on the credit
of which the Government may borrow money
to meet its wants. We suppose, from this,
that the project Of Withholding the derosites
from the states in October has been abandon
ed.
In the House an exciting; subject has been
introduced by Mr. Adams, and tne which we
apprehend, is likely to shake the Unicn to its
centre. 1t was resolution calling upon tile
President to inform the House whether. any
proposition had been made by Texas for an.
nexation to the Uaited States; and if so what
was the answer returned: and calling also for
the correspondence on the subject. We shall
nest week copy part CT the desuitory debate
Oh the subject. We have now time only to state
that Mr.. Wise opposed the resolution on the
ground that the correspondence is not now in
state to be published without injury to the
public interest. Several members spoke brief
ly. Mr. Adams, iii the course of his remarks
said ut is question SO deep as to invol.e the
union Itself: for there is q large portion of the
people efthe Uuaed States acho uoula prefer dis
olution Of The union to the act of annexation OF
Tsras." After an amendment by the addition
of a qualifying clause, "ifin his opinion consis.
tent with the public interest" the resolution
was adopted.
A resolution has been adopted in the House
TO con6ne its action to the business for which
congress was called.

AGRICULTURAL.
From the Genesee Farmer.
Reasons for a Rotation of cror.


Every farmer who is well informed ~
who IS an accurate observer of the means
necessary to success in til1ing the soil. is
aware that changing crops is one of the
most essential steps in Obtaining this re-.
suit. Unless in extraordinary cases hs
never thinks Of getting wheat, or corn Or
other grains, two successive wears frono
the same grounds experience has ,anoh,
him that this course is not consi,ent vT;,h
good farming; yet he may not be aworo
of the many explanations that have haen
given of the causes that render such ro-
tation necessary.
When it had been ascertained that anu
tap rooted or pivoting plant, such as he
turnep, beet, or carrot, would grow where
the same year, or the year before, clover
or grain had grown, it was by some wri.
tiers on agriculture supposed to resnh
from the radicles of this class of plants
having power to make their wav thronob

ers of the soil, and striking deeper 70
where the power Of sustenance was ve,

DISCOURSE II.

y SkooNDLy. Having thus far endeay.
orcd 70 point outthc errors into which we
have ALLEN. both in the accumulation and
IN the appropriation of property, l pro-
esed, in the second place, to offer some
snggesdOns which may be suitable to the
present crisis. -.,.
will first inquire, how we may less.
en-. 20 lar as possible, the evils which we
suher, and secondly, what ale the moral
lessous which We may learn from the
events which are passing before us.
4 Let rs, in the first place. consider
One nature OF the calamity which rests nm.
on as. II we reflect, we shall immed;.
ately perceive that we are not suffering
under the severest infections of the hand
Of Con. There is no actual scarcity d
. che productions of.the earth. .Gop ha,
not visited Us with famine, or pestilence
. OF war. The actual capital of the coun.
Try. that IS, its productions and its means
Of production. are as great as they have
commonly been. The number of our Ia.
boters is as great as before. Our soil j.
as fruitful, and, with the ordinary labor
viii produce as rich a harvest Or, il
general, the means of happiness to be en-
Joyed by the whole. and the portion o
those means ofhappiness which falls to tn.
share of every individual, remains
I through the blessing Of Con, yet un,
, changed.
Rnt whileall this is 50, we suffer from
! two causes. First. our citizens are deem
" in debt, both TO foreigners and to each
other. These debts exceed our presenI
: means Of paymen'. We have all boughl
