rock ten feet in diameter, which, when taken
out, showed unequivocal signs oflife; but it
was supposed that the conclusion caused by
blasting the rock occassioned its death in a
few hours after. The opinion OF Baron Cru
ithizen, who is Geologist to the King of Swe-
den, was, that it must have been in that stu
alton for at least seven thousand years; and
his calculations were drawn from the differ
ent layers of strata by which it was surround
ed. From this hint, the professor proceeded
to make experiments; and, after a fainful and
laborious course of experiments for the last
twenty-nine years of his life, he has at last
succeeded in perfecting his great discovery.
No less than sixty thousand reptiles, shell
fish, &c, were experimental on before he
tried the human subject. The process is not
entirely laid before the public as yet, but |
had the honor, in company with a friend, of
visiting the Professor.
Ishall give a slight description of one Of
the outer rooms containg some ofhis prepa-
%rations. Previous 10 entering, we were fur
nished with an India rubber bag, TO which
was attached a mask with glass eyes. This
was put on to prevent the temperature of the
room from being varied in the slightest de-
gree by our breathing. 1t was an auricular
room, lighted from the top by the suns. rays
from which the heat was entirely disengag-
ed by lis passage through its glass, &C., col
ored by the oxide ofcopper, Ga late discove-
ry, and very valuable to the professor. The
room is shelyed all around, and contains
nearly one thousand specimens of animals,
&c. One was a Swedish girl, aged, from APP
pearance, about nineteen years; she was con-
signed to the professor by order of the Gov
eminent to experiment upon, having been
found guilty of numbering her child. With
the exception OF slight paleness, she appear
ed as if asleep, although she has been in a
state of complete torpor for two years. He
intends, he says, TO resuscitate her in five
more years. and convince the world of the
soundness Of his wonderful discovery. The
professor1o crafty us, took a small snake out
ofhis cabinetinto another room, and although
il appeared to US to be perfectly dead and
rigid as marble, by application of a mixture
of cayenne pepper and brandy, it showed i'm.
mediate signs of life, and was apparently as
active as ever it was in a few minutes, altho
the professor assured US it had been in a state
of torpor for six years. i

Who then with a hand, pointing up to our Ban

Proclaimed that the colors which float from our

Hon. jan WHITE.

The Old Democrats, of 1879, can vote for
him, for he was the great Champion of the

silenced the batteries of the Esex Junto by
bis ali powerful eloquence, and rebuked such
men as Martin Van Buren,, who sought by an
alliance with the Hartford Convention, Fed

patriot, james Madison.
The Friends of Liberty, every where,
can vote for him; for it was his voice that
was heard in the Halls of Congress, in ia

The honest patient Germans, can vote Tor
