CANAL COMMISSIONER.

In the hustle OF the coming local cleo
tons, says The North American, we trust
that the great State issue upon whick
Pennsylyanians are called upon TO decide,
will not be forgotten. State organization
is essential to just and effective action
by the people on the great issues before
them. The Canal Board is now more
powerful in its control of the desiinies of
the State than the Executive; and the
struggle is FOR THE STATE. The voice
of Pennsylvania finds, on that issue, It's
first utterance on the Tariff question:
Mr.. Foster is the candidate renomnated
against the will OF his own party by the
corrupt exercise Of the patronage Of the
Canal Board; he runs as the opponent in
rotation of Office and the foe of the Ta-
riff. The State may be carried by ma
jority of 10000 against him; but 10 effect
SO glorious a result.-one so pregnant with
future triumPh-organization, action and
energy are necessary.

THE MOON

Sir John Herschel, at late meeting OF
the British Association for the advance
ment OF Science, expressed the opinion
that the temperature of the moons CHM
ate must be very high, far aboue that Of
boiling acater.' And the reason is, that its
surface is exposed for fourteen days at
time to the unmitigated and continual heat
of the sun. At the full and for few days
afterwards, the moon must certainly be the
reflector Of some heat to the earth Sir
John has no doubt of the fact, but as it has
the character of culinary rather than solar
heat, that is to say, it emanates from a
body below the temperature of ignition,' it
will be arrested by the upper strata Of the
earth's atmosphere and thus absorbed.
There its only effect will be to convert WIS.,
lble clouds into transparent vapor. He as
serted that the phenomena of the rapid dis
sipation of clouds in moderate weather soon
after the appearance Of the full moon, could
easily be accounted for on this principle,
and that his own observations confirmed the
theory.

CASTING OUT DEVILS.

the North OF France was persuaded by his
friends that he was bewitched and repair

had seven devils. Only seven? said the
doctor. but seven"
The man OF medicine, seeing that his

consented, and the next day was subjected
tothe action of machine, novel and formi-

the doctor said ooldly, zone has dnparted.,
The same operation had been performed six
successive days; and when the seventh
came, the patient was warned to summon
all his courage for a contest with the chief

FORCE OF IMAGINATION.

An amusing incident occurred at Will
liams College recently. The Professor of
Chemistry, while administering in the course
of his lectures the Protoxide of Nitrogen,
or, as it is commonly called, laughing gas,
in order TO ascertain how great an influence
the imagination had in producing the effects
consequent on respiring it, secretly filed the
India rubber gas bag with common air in
stead of gas. 1t was taken without suspic-
ion, and the effects if anything were more
powerful than upon those who had really
breathed the pure gas. One complained
tina it produced nausea, and dizziness, an
other Immediately manifested pugilstic pro-
pensities, and before he could be restra ined,

never enjoyed il before The Laughter that
followed the exposure of this gaseous trick
may be imagined.
Sir Humphrey Davy, being once about ad-
ministering this gas to person afflicted
with paralysis, applied the bulb of a thero-
mometer to his mouth, in order to ascertain
the temperature of his system. The pa
tient being ignorant Of the manner of taking
the Gas, felt instant relief, and by holding
