licved US to considerable extent, on point
that has been for some time troubling us
no little. We have been for some time
connecting and scheming and trying to de-
wise some means by which sold bachelors :"
should be made to pay for their callousness
towards the fair sex. We thought we had
pretty fairly arrived at the point-as far as
the means to be resorted to, to accomplish
it was concerned-and only wanted to find
out the sentiments of the public: this we
were at loss to dove were afraid to
breach the subject in the paper. We
wished to have a tax levied on every male
individual over the age Of twenty-sevcn,
who had not married, and have the pro-
ceeds appropriated to that much slandered
and abused portion of our population, de-
nominated odd maids" 1t was thought
that if candidate would come out for the
Legislature with the taxation of old bache-
lors as his motto, he would be elected
sure; but that idea was knocked into a
"cocked hat" on Monday. After the can
didates had been proposed to the conven-
ton, they proceeded to take the vote-the
different candidates made short speeches.
some clearing up old charges, some beg
ging votes, &c. At length it was announ-
ced tina: the vote for JAMES ALLcoRN, Esq,
would be taken--whereupon he rose and
addressed the crowd, trying to clear up a
charge that had been circulated against him
in the year 1920, that he advocated law
to tax "old bachelors" He made his
speech and the tellers gave notice that those
who wished to vote for Mr.. Allcorn could
now do so. 81 can't vote for a man tina,
would tax old bachelors" said one: "obnox.
ious doctrine" said another: "anti-repub-
lican," said another, and so it went, and mo-
single vote could he get! That at once
settled the qucstion--we gave up the ide;
of trying to tax bachelors. We expec

clinedl We have often seen men decline

Natural Pumps.

Before leaving the subject OF bellows
and bellows pumps, we may remark that
numerous illustrations of the latter may
be found in the natural world. 10 an
industrious investigation, the animal
kingdom would furnish an endless rayaety,
for everv organised being is composed Of
tubes and of liquids urged through them.
The contrivances by which the latter is
accomplished may be considered among
the prominent features in the mechanism
of animals, and although modified to inf
nitude. one general principle pervades
the whole /; that is the distension and
contraction of flexible vessels Or reservoirs
in which fluids are accumulated ard dri-
ven through the system. On the regular
function of these organs the necessary
motions of life chiefly depend by them
urine is expelled from the bladder. blood
from the heart, breath from the lungs,
&c; they are natural bellows while O.
Their devices of the Divine Mechanism re-
semble syringes or piston pumps.
The whale spouts water with bellows
pump, and in streams compared with
which the Jet from one of our fire engines
is child's play. His blowing apparatus
consist of two large membranous elastic
bags, and capable of being collapsed
with great force. They are connected
with two bony canals or tubes. whose or
ifices are closed by valve in the form of
two semicircles, similar to pump-makers'
butterfly valves. When the animal
spouts, he forcibly congresses the bags,
alle ady filled with water, and sends forth
volumes of 1T to the height of forty or fif-
ty feet. The roaring noise that accom-
panies this election of the liquid is heard
at a considerable distance. and is one Of
the means by which whaiers in foggy wea-
Their, are directed to their prey. The pro-
boscs of the elephant is sometimes used as
a hose pipe, through which he plays a
stream in every direction by the pump in
his chest. Numerous insects that live in
water move their bodies by the reaction

a Terms Wonder.-Tbe Enchante

Il Ie1as Wonder.-The Enchanted
Rock which has been long celebrated as
place to which many of the tribes of
Northern Indians pay periodical visits,
.ipr the purpose Of performing their SUI
perstitious devotions, is situated on the
SANDY branch Of the Perdnales; and
is thus described by a gentleman who has
recently visited it:
The feelings aud imaginations swell al
most to GREATNESS astonishment on behol
ding one immense solid rock of dark red
dish color, rising to the height of about
400 feet, and covering space larger
than common mile race track of about
900 acres Of ground. Upon its surface
there are several excavations or pits, one
re which would hold several hogsheads
Of water, from which there may, under a
neculiar state Of the atmosphere, exhaa-
f;ons escape and explode, doubtless Civ
mo rise to the traditions of its emitting
iiebt. The only evidences Of the pilgrim
ace and worship of the Indians were the
;nnnmerabIe number of deeply worn
trails. approaching in, from every valley
and plain, and the small pieces Of loose
rocks and pebbles found upon its Top

o.s CLASSY surfaces of the scales ol

INSTANTANEOUS
The EasagMan Heart a Pump.

The circulation of the blood III man
and other animals is effected by an appa-
ratus strikingly analogous to sucking and
forcing bellows pumps. The heart is one
OF these. The arteries are its forcing.
the''yelns its suction pipes and both
pumps and pipes are furnished with the
most perfect valves. By contraction,
this wonderful machine forces the blood
through the former to the uttermost
parts of the system and, by distenson,
draws it back through the latter. They
vary in dimension as in constru ction.
Some are adapted to the bodies Of ami
mails SO minute as to be imperceptible to
the unailed vision; and from these, to
others Of every size, up to the huge levi
athan of the deep. The aorta of the
whale says Paley, SIS larger in the bore
than the main pipe of the water works at
London bridge; and the water roaring in
its passage through that pipe, is inferior
in impetus and velocity to the blood rush
ing from the whales heart
Every human being may be considered
as--nay, is-a living pump. His body
is wholly made up Of it. Of the tubes be
longing to it, and the liquid moved by it,,
with such additions as are required to
communicate the necessary motion and
protect it from injury. HeaIth-life it.
~seIf-every thing depends upon keeping
it in order. If one of its forcing pipes
IAN artery)be severed, we bleed TO death.
Are any of its sucking tubes (the veins)
choked, the parts around them become
diseased, like steril land. for want Of
nourishment. Does the pump itself stop
working-we instantly die. The regu-
larity and irregularity of its motions are
indicated by the pulse, which has always
been adopted as the unerrlng criterion Of
health and disease; or, as an engineer
would say, the number of its strokes per
minute is the proof of its state, whether
in good or bad working order. The pulse
not only indicates incidenta. disorders in
tlris hydraulic machine, but it is a critic
rion Of its aye, as we'll as of its constant
condition. The movements are strong
and uniform in youth, feeble and uncer-
tain in sickness and age; and as the ma
chine wears out, and the period of its la

SacS and FOXes-Indian Festivals.

The editor Of the Iowa Gazette atten-
ded the late treaty-making council be-
tween Governor Chambers and the Sacs
and Foxes, and in a late paper has an
article on the subject, from which we ex-
tract the following:
The Sacs and Foxes are perhaps the
finest looking Indians on the globe of
large, athletic, and perfect forms, aud
most graceful carriage; and a brave,
high-minded, honorable set of fellows. =
There are few men in this world equal
to the celebrated Keokuk, whose com
handing oratory raised him, even in his
youth, from the common ranks of his
tribe, and placed him, without heredlta-
ry right. and in spite Of all competition.
at the head of his nation. Many states

fu! lessons in diplomacy, and many OF

While fruitess thorns live on?

Where angels onward sped.

For tempests never reach the tomb
