This curious piece Of mechanism is a full

all the bones, sinews, nerves, liaaments, and
every other, 'part and parcel" Of the internal
and external regions of the human system,

the whole frame, from top to toe, can be dis

seeing great portion of this piece Of mechan-
ism taken apart, piece by piece, limb by limb,
ligament by ligament, till we discovered the
whole internal arrangement of the human bo-

Altogether, this model presents one of the
most chaste, beautiful and classical modes OF
studying anatomical science that has yet been
discovered. The model was made in Paris
for the Russian government, but DR.. Bedford

THE LOG CABIN.

1t is remarkable that the enemies of General
Harrison should have called him the log cabin
candidate, in derison. He merits the appea
tom His ancestors were among the earliest
in Virginia. Benjamin Harrison located his
family on the rich lands in ''Merchants Bran
non," on the South side Of James River. Ben
amin, the son, settled in Charles City County,
and died there tn 1872. He, (the great grand
father Of General Harrison.J lived in a brick
house, which was called ''Brickley,' (now
Berkely,) in contradstinction to the Log Cabin
inhabited by his father This cabin was on
',Chowopo" (Chipoax) Creek, where the Ca
bin Point Tobacco Inspection was established
in 1880. At this place may now be seen

A MASSEY stone covers the grave Of Hannah,
the wife of Benjamin Harrison. She died in
1651.-Another stone covers the grave OF Ben
iamin Harrison, born in 1912, and died in
17l2. These ancestors OF the Log Cabin Can
didate, were highly respected: some of them
filed Offices of great importance, the duties of
which, they discharged with honor TO them
selves and advantage To their country. 1t is
generally admitted that there is much tO.con-

crowd, exclaimed 'you're liar |. said the
old man, served under Harrison, and you shall
