Wherever the eye is turned, TO whatever
quarter of the world the attention is direct,
ed, there lie the remains Of more powerful,
more advanced, and more highly skilled ma
tons than ourselves, the almost obliterated
records Of the mighty past. How seemingly
well-founded was the delUsion, and indeed
how current even now, that the discoVeryo Of
Columbus fret opened the way for cutie
waited people in the ''new world.' And yet
how great reason is there for the conclusion,
that while the county Of Ferdinand and

arts, America teemed with power and gran.

and mounds, in comparison with which the
buildings of Spain bear not The slightest re.

All these great relics Of still greater ma

humiliation, confirming, as they do, the

The PERsPIRAToRY TUBES OF THE SKIN.
Taken separately the little respiratory
tube, with its appended gland, is calculated
TO awaken in the mind very little idea of
the Importance Of the system to which it
belongs; but when the vast number of SINH.
lar organs composing this system is consid-
cred, we are led to form sons notion, how,
ever imperfect, of their probable influence
on the health and comfort of the individual.
We use the words imperfect notion ed.
visedly. for the reality surpasses imagina-
ton and almost belief. To arrive at some<
thing like an estimate of the value of the
respiratory system in relation 70 the orga~
nizatiOn, we counted the perspiEatory pores
on the palm of the band, and found three
thousand five hundred and twenty. Eight il
asquare inch. Now, each Of TlIese pores
being the aperture of a little tube Of about
quarter of an inch long, it follows that in
a spare inch of skin on the palm Of the hand,
there exist length of tube equal to eight
hundred and eighty.two inches, or seventy
three feet and half Surely such an amouuat
Of drainage as seventy.three feet in eTerv
square inch of skin, assuming this to be the
average for the whole body, is something
wonderful, and the thought naturally in.
tIudes itself, what II this drainage we're OBJ
structedl Gould We need stronger argu-
ment for enforcing the necessity Of attention
TO the skinf On the pulps of the fingers,
where the ridges Of the sensitive layer Of
the true skin are somewhat finer than in the
palm of the hand, the number Of pores on
square inch little exceed that on the palm;
and on the heel, where the ridges are coarse,
the number Of pores on the square inch
was two thousand two hundred and sixty.
eight, and the length Of the tube five hun.
dred and sixty seven inches, OF forty.seven
| feet. To obtain an estimate OF the length
Of the tube of the perspiratory system Of
the whole surface OF the body, We think that
two thousand eight hundred might be taken
as fair average Of the number Of pores in
the square inch, and seven hundred, conseN
lquently, of the number of inches in length.
Now, the number Of square inches Of sur
face in man of ordinary height and bulk,
is two thousand Eve hundred; the number
Of pores, therefore, seven millions, and the
number Of inches of respiratory tube, one
million seven hundred and fifty thousandi
that is, one hundred and forty.fve thousand
eight hundred and thirty three feet, or forty,
eight thousand six hundred yards, or nearly
twenty.eight miles. : Is.

BREAKING UP GANG OF NEGROES Ttoo
tcomen killed and tlcO aCoat1aded For some time
past the citizens of the Third Municipality have
been aware that a gang of runaway negroes had
congregated in the swamp in the aubourg Wash
ington, where they lived upon what they could
scrape together at night by thieving and contri-
buttons upon their friends in the city. On Wed
nesday afternoon party Of ten or twelve gentle.
men, some living in the Second and some in the
Third Municipality, who had lost slaves, deter
minedto break up the gang They accordingly
sahed forth, armed with towing pieces loaded
with buck shot, and reached the habitation OF the
negroes. There were about fifteen OF hem, male
and female, and they were surprised in the act OF
eating supper. They were Summoned to sur
render but refused and took to their heels where
upon volIey was fired at them, killing a man
and woman, and badly wounding two women
The rest escaped The men had number OF
muskets but did not fire them. The two women
were brought up to town the same night, and it
is not known whether their wounds are mortal or
not.

We heard of locofoco the other day who as
serted that Folks Tariff Bill was as good us the
Tariff of 1912 We mention 1t as one oil the most
ridiculous assertions that could be made. 1t Is all
accounted for however, by the fact that the man Is
a locofoco office holder! The Tariff won't reduce
his salary ii 1t does the wages of workingmen, and
of course 1t is as well for him Caiedonian.
Just SO with your locofoco candidates for any Of
fee, from Governor to justice of the peace: they
will swallow any thing, from the British Tariff
down TO dose of salts aud senna ie they can only
get the spoils by the means. The worst of the
joke is, that the medicine won't work until it is
forced down the neckS of other people: hence the
mighty efforts made TO sugar over the British Ia
riff and convince the democracy that it is really de-
lcious after all. But let the locos take the dose 1t

make Of it, as it stands, full of the most bungng
errors or the most bareiaced frauds upon the public
for whom it was got up. Upon their own showing,
this is a most wtetched bill for this country--a bill
to increase the importatons of foreign goods, and
to depress American manufactures and the Amer-
