After the discharge of the prisoner an nvestiga-

Nor can we suppose that SO vicious population
could be relied on in case Of rupture between
the United States and any other power.
Our intercourse with the natives among MS,
guided much by the same influence which has
promoted harmony among ourselves. has been g.
Morally pacific. But the same causes y ich will

is, therefore, Of primary importance both to them

Tor creeping for him, | won't do it..
Well let it all pass aud carry him the tnr-
Key, and if he don't thank YOU, | will.
Charles shouldered the fowl and in short
time was at the house of the minister, who was
seated in the pa,lour surrounded by number
nt friends who had come to pass thanksgiving
with him. The lad entered without knocking,
and bringing the turkey from his shoulders hrav-
NY upon the table, said, MIR. Moody, there Is

Preserved Eggs.-We published some time
since paragraph stating that eggs are kept for
hree months in France, in lime water. In con-
sequence of this, lady Of Fast Woods, i. l.,
has sent us present ola baske, Of eggs, Of geese,
turkies, and ducks, which have been preserved a
year in lime water. AS far as we can discover
they are as good to the taste and sight as they
ever were. two gallon potw filled with eggs
and about pint of slackcned lime prepared for
white washing was put in, and the vessel filled
With water, and board laid over The water
was never changed, and appears clear and sweet.

Dyspepsia.-The effect of mental disquietude
in producing this complaint is greater than is ge
aeraIIy supposed. 1t is we'll known that persons
II good health, of sound digestive organs, who
take plenty Of exercise, and are free from anxiety,
may eat almost any thing, and in quantities which
would kill those in different circumstances. In
reference to this point, DR.. Bingham observes:-
do not find dyspepsia prevalent in countries
where people do eat most enormously. Travel
|ers in Siberia say that the people often eat forty
pounds of food day. Admiral Scripehof saw
4 Siberian eat, Immediately after breakfast, TWEEN
y-fve pounds Of boiled rice, with three pounds
ofbutter. But dyspepsia is not common disease
in Siberia. We do not learn from Captain Par
ry or Captain Lyon. that their friends, the Es-
luimaux, arc very nervous and dyspeptc. though
they individually eat ten or twelve pounds Of So
lid food in day, washing it down with a gallon
or so of train oil. Captain Lyon, was. to be sure,
A little concerned for delicate young lady Es-
quimaux, who cat her candles. wicks and all; yet
he does not alude to her inability to digest them.

AsPHALTUM.-We have seen within year o
two past frequent notices of the uses to whicl
mineral Asphaltum has been applied in Europe,
and especially in France, but we had not, unit
lately, any just idea of the nature of the substance
or of its peculiar fitness for many valuable purpo|
SEES. An American gentleman, lately from Paris
will, view to Introduce the use of so valuable
an article into his country, brought with hire
some specimens of the mineral in prepare
state and afforded us an opportunity of examnn
them. The specimen which we particularly ext
amined was slab foot square and halt an inc, !,
thick, and as hard as the hardest stone. 1t il

parts of France, though the mine of Bastennes

species Of rock, from which it is separated BY,

or mineral tar found in Trinidad, Cuba, &c
This latter substance has none of the valuabl'I

From the Retublicaa.
THE SUN AND THE CLOUDS.

"The king of day" passed through deep blue sky.
A nd earth rejoc 4 beneath his gladd'nng beams
How bi,he Il . shepherd WANDERED o'-r the hills;
And The gay Il ,se maiden's song aros-
How the sweet ls danced through The forest gioom'
Catching al intervals the light above!
How the proud sea IN tranquil beauty came
Like smiling childhood 10 The peaceful sho ?!
Now through the dungeons grated window high,
A slanting glance OF light sheds around
One raw of hope, 10 bless the pris ner's heart.
Now thoughts of innocence return 10 him
With dreams of home bright dreams OF bygone days.
The shady trae-ihe voice OF evening prayer
A sisters con6dence-a mothers love
He drinks again from he clear mountain spring.
And that pure draught has made him young again!
Meanwhile cloud with deep'ning envy saw
The suns undyiug beauty, and it said
Pond sun, the blue sky | will o'ercast,
And ram my fury Ger the weeping earth;
I'll cause the bitter, ling wind 10 blow,
And make the old trees bow their stately heads.
Yea, how the sweating laborer will toll
To gather in his stores, lest they be lost
III raise the pillows Of yon pacd sea,
Till the toss'd mariners cry out for fear.
The cloud silent; but il blacker grew
Yea, black as night it overspread the heavens.
AT length-as il the fountains oft deep
Were broken up-as told in holy writ,
When God destroyed the PHEASANT earth he made
The rain in sheets Of ioa,ning wave drscends;
The frightened birds had sunk into their nests,
An cen the lion sought covert there.
There was crashing mid the mountain pines,
And the small stream into torrea: swe!ld,
Rushing from rock 10 rock with angry roar! .".
Such fury could not ast-the clouds were spent;
Nature grew STILL and the bright sun appear'd
As bright, as when upon creations dawn
The voice OF God proclaimed, Let there be light!
Like virtue struggling with adversely,
That sun appear'd;
And those same clouds, ashamed OF former hate.

The Bones Of the Masfacion at .4uciion.-It
would appear that the bones of the head Of the
American Mastadon. which were, until lately, a
desideratum that all biologists anxiously awaited
the discovery of, have been permitted. by our
learned societies, to leave this country. We have
now the humiliating consolation to know that
these most rare and valuable relics of this ante
diluvian monster, have been hawked about the
streets of London until finally knocked down dog
cheap under the hammer of cockney auclioneer
So much for the love, the ardor of our scientific
ASSOCIATION for the promotion of the study of ma
tural history! 1t is discreditable that such pre-
cous treasures should have been thus abandoned.
We said so at the time; but it seems there was
not spirit enough to keep the bones of our own
proud king OF the forest among us. II is an eng
ma which we cannot solve, or how the idiot of an
owner never thought to 60 TO Paris with his oste-
logical speculation. There they ale interested
Cuvier, if alive, would have been in ecstaces to
have seen the head of that Masadon which he
christened with this name. The fine Uranium
with the upper jaw and teeth, brought only 100
francs. The head perfect, A inches long and %
wide, brought. however, 1892 francs; i. e. near
$3.50; which was not tenth part ofits value; aud
that it is probably the only one that has ever been
discovered, or ever probably may be-. We be-
lieve it came from Kentucky. Almost always the
head is found wanting, though the teeth and leg
bones are remarkably sound. The giant quadrn-
ped that bounded over the nrairics little dreamed
of the destiny that awaited him.

Important Judicial Dpcisiom.-Chief Justice
Hornblower has recently decided in case tried
in Newark for damages in blowing up house at
the great fire there, that if building is actually
on fire, and to such an extent as to preclude the
hope of saving it; or if building is connected
with other buildings then actually on fire, and I'M
der such circumstances, owing to the want of wa
ter or machines for extnguishing the fire, to
render its destruction in common with other build
ings inevitable: and if tearing down, or blowing
|np, or otherwise destroying that building, would,
in all human probability, have tendency to ar
rest the further progress OF the flames, then the
destruction Of the building by tearing it down, or
explosion, is just6able, and only an anticipation
Of the consequences Of the fire, and is to be con
sidered as having been done by the fire itself.
The Judge also remarked, that it resulted from
the principle laid down, thata policy of insurance.
agains, fire, would cover property thus blown u
or destroyed.
In the particular case in question, the plaintiff
failed to recover, there being no doubt that tn
property would have been all consumed-Spec
