AMERICAN JOURNAL OF

PROF. e. SILLIMAN & B. SILLIMAN, yR,
OF YALE COLLEGE,.
FEEHE Editors of this Journal, wish TO call pub
H. lie attention to the fact that they will hercaf-
ter, OH the conditions stated below frank the Nos to
all of their subscribers who receive the work direct
Iy from them by mail. Their object in making this
Offer is to place those persons who so situated
that they cannot take the work through an agent,
and therefore free of charge of transportation, on
the same footing in this respect with city subscribers
Subscribers by mail have heretofore paid from 81 to
Sl.37 per annum for postage, which has been suf-
icicnt consideration to induce many to decline taking
the work. Now that this objection is removed upon
the simple condition of punctual remittanccs the
Editors confidently hope that the number of their
mail subscribers will be much increased; and they
make no apology their present supporters and con-
tributors, for asking their assistance in aiding them
to sustain this experiment, by making this notice
more public, and by inducing their friends to sub
scribe.
Experience has proved that the mail is by far the
best OF conveyance to distant subscribers, the
most sure ard most speedy; and all attempts to es-
tablish agencies at distance, and away from the
great lines of transportation have utterly facd-de-
lay and dissatisfaction and often abandonment of the
work being the result.
The American Journal of Science and Arts is
published at New Haven. Connecticut. Each num-
Der contains at least 200 pages, closely and hand
somcly printed on good paper, and fully illustrated
BY engravings The subscription is Sc in advance,
by mail The extra dollar beyond the usual price
of the literary quarterlies is Indispensable, on ac-
count of more limited patronage, and the great
expense of engravings.
Rcnittances should be made if possible in Eastern
money, but if that cannot be obtained the best bills
which can be had may be substituted, and no dis
count will be charged upon them.
Subscribers will remember the regulation of the
Post Office Department, by which Postmasters are
sa,asacd to remit payments for periodicals free of
postage if the letter containing the remittance is
written by themselves.
All letters and remttances directed to the Editors
of the American Journal of Science and Arts, New
Haven, Ct, will receive prompt attention.
N. B-Subscribers who wish to avail themselves
of the free postage, must that their accounts are
not in arrears; when such is the fact the Editors
cannot pay the postage.
CT Advertisements are inserted on the customary
rates, and the European circulation of the work rem
dcrs it desirable vehicle for the advertisements of
American publishers; the usual publication day is
the last Of every quarter.

that name, and by the route of the Ohio an
Erie canal, reached the Ohio river. Descen-
ding the Ohio and Mississippi, making brief
stay at our landing on his way, he reached
Bayou Lafourche in Louisiana. Leaving the
Bayou by the south west pass, he progressed
on his voyage, until he was blown off, about
twelve miles into the gulf. A change Of wind
and high tide drove his fiat boat back again,
and stranded her on sand bar near Shanatique.
Here he was detained three months, four or
five hundred yards from the water during which
period he killed a large number Of wild hogs,
and sailed pork enough to supply his family
for two years afterwards. He also erected for
his own accommodation and that of travellers,
quite respectable dwelling from the drift
wreck-wocd, thrown by the waves upon the
shore. A high tide at length ensued, and the
fiat boat was s. once more upon the waters. y
Hosting his sail he launched forth, and reach
ed, without adventure, the Sabine pass
Crossing Sabine bay, labout 80 miles in width
he entered the mouth of the Rionatchee, and
thence assembled to the town of Beaumont in
Texas. Here he erected house for tavern,
making use of his fiat boat for material, as far
as it would go, in finishing his edifice. We
are informed Mr.. Clark is now f1ourishing in
Texas like green bay tree" and appears
to be spreading his branches in the most
approved manner, having been blessed with a
couple Of fat babies, and very promising flock
of young pigs, during his short sojourn in the
land Of refuge and Of promise.-Vicksburs

RELIGION OF THE ABORIGINES.

Mr.. Bancroft, in the third volume CT his his
tory, just published has the following beautl-
full account of the religion Of the Aborigines
"They believe that some powerful genius
created the world, that an unknown genius
made the heaven above and the earth on which
they dwelt. The god of the savage, was what
the metaphysician end eavors to express by the
word substance. The red man, unaccustomcd
to generalization, obtained no conception Of an
absolute substance, cf self-exstent being,
but saw divinity in every power. Whe, ever
there was being, motion, or action, there. TO
him was spirit, and in special manner,
wherever there appeared singular excellence
among the beast or birds, or in the creation,
there to him was the presence Of divinity.
When he feels his pulse :hrob, or his heart
beat, be knows that it is spirit. A god re-
sides 10 the flint, to give forth the kindDing,
cheering fire, in the mountain cliff, in the cool
recesses Of the grottos, which nature has adorn-
ed in every little grass" that spings mirac-
ulously from the earth. ''The woods, the
wilds, and the waters, respond to savage intel
ligence the stars and the mountains live, the
river and the lake, and the waters have a spir-
it," Every hidden agency, every mysterious
Influence is personifed. A god dweIs in the
sun, and in the moon. and in the armament {; the
spirit Of the morning reddens in the eastern
sky; a deity is present in the ocean and in the
fire; the crag that overhangs the river has its
genius; there is spirit in the water fall, a
household god makes its abode in the Indian
wigwam, and consecrates his home; spirits
climb upon the forehead to weigh down the
eyelids in sleep. Not the heavenly bodies on
ly, the sky is filled with spirits that ministe: to
man. To the savage, divinity, broken as 1t
were into an infinite number of fragments, fills
all place and all being. The idea, of unity, in
the creation may have existed contemporaries
ously, but it existed only in the germ, or as
the vague belief derived from the harmony Of
the universe. Yet faith in the great Spirit,
when once presented. was promptly seized and
appropriated, and SO infused itself into the
heart ofremotest tribes, that it came 10 be often
considered as the portion of their original faith.
Their shadowy aspirations and creeds assumed,

RIDIcULous OCcURRENCE.--A curious,
laughable and ridiculous occurrence took place
few weeks since at the house OF a Mr.. Den
ton, in Goshen, N. Y. the particulars of which
are related in the Sunday Mercury.
1t seems that while MIR. d. and his wife
were on visit to New York city, the inmates
ofhis house, consisting OF All elderly lady
Mrs. Hall) two other females, and a lad l6
yeers of age-expressed some foolish fears one
evening lest the Irishmen, who were at work
on the railroad hard by, might commit some
act of violence. Being acquainted with the
character Of the Irish only by /" evil report, -
they supposed them to be set Of blood thlrs-
ty monsters, instead of humane, hosptable
and generous men, as most of them are. The
lad listened to their bodings with I" fear and
trembling - and went to bed in the blessed
anticipation of being made sausage meat be-
fore morning.
At about midnight. as he lay with his head
between the sheets, scarcely daring to breathe,
he suddenly famed he heard the work of slaugh-
Ter commenced among the women III the room
below. He could even hear the blood spill.
He jumped out of bed, like hare-hew down
stairs with his pantaloons in his hand, and
heeled it through the snow, bare-foo,ed, bare
legged ard bare-headed, for the distance of
half mile, to Mr.. Young 's-crying ''murder::
murder! ~ at every leap. Arriving at the house,
in his fright and confusion, he burst the door
in, which aroused MIR. Y, Mrs. Y. and all the
little US, who shouted and screamed as tho
the world was at an end.
Murder-murder ! the Irishmen are killing
Mrs. Hall | heard the blood run,' cried the
crazy youth.
Who-hoo-oo, wha-a-a! 0 dear! what's to
be done go to Chester--go to Chester SIAM
mered Mr.. Y. F; ard away he runs for the sta
ble-brings out his horse-puts his own big
boots, hat and great coat on the boy-set him
astride, and off galiops the young biped as
though lightning was after him, to Chester
distance two miles)--cuting pretty figure,
with the hat over his eyes-boots dangling
every which way-great coat flying in the
wad land he still crying g Murder! heard
the blood rum &C.
The inhabitants of Chester were soon arous-
ed en- masse. Double sleighs, single sleighs
and pungs, were Immediately brought in re-
qusiuon, aud away streaks the town for Mr..
Henton's some furnished with muskets, some
with rifles, and others with axes, pitchforks,
cudgels, and so forth. The brave army soon
surrounded the kouse, but not even the bravest
of the brave dare enter. Whereupon they set
up savage yell, to let the. lrishmen know
that the Philistines were pom them. This
aroused Mrs. Hall from her quiet slumbers;
and as she poked her night cap out Of the win
dow, and beheld the scene without, she uttered
a shrek of" murder!' and tainted upon the
floor. There was no time to be lost. The
whole posse comitatus Immediately rushed in
at the doors, and there they caught-caught
what three frightened females in delicate
predicament.

Though rival theatres doomed around,

And we knew his DoLLAR-ous look and air,

So we left him alone in his glory.
