Acadamy Of Sciences, says: "Haviug
determined on investigating the ques.
tion whether the employment of liquid
sulphurous acid for moistening the
hands would produce a sensation ol
coldness when they are immersed in
the melted metal. immersed my
hands. previously moistened with sui
phurus acid, in the melted lead, and cx,
perienced a sensation of decided cold.

ing the hand in melted lead and infused
cast-iron. Before experimenting with
the melted iron, placed a stick, pre-.
yiousl Y moistened with water, in the
stream Of liquid metal. and on with.
drawing it found it to be almost rs wet
as it was before, scarcely any of the
moisture was evaporoted. The mo.
ment dry piece Of wood was placed
in contact with the heated metal, com
buston took place. Mr.. Covlot and
then dipped our hands into vessels ol
the liquid metal, and passed our fingers
several times backwards and forwards
through a stream of metal flowing
from the furnace, the heat from the
radiation of the fused metal being al
the same time almost unbearabIe. -
We varied these experiments for up,
wards of two hours and Madame
Covlet, who assisted at these expert
ments, permitted her child, a girl oI
nine years Of age, to dip her hand in a
crucible ofred hot metal with impunity
We experimental on the melted iron
both with our hands quite dry, and also
when moistened with water, alcohol
and ether. The same results were OBJ
tanned as with melted lead, and each oi
US experienced a sensation fcold when
employing sulphurous acid"

CoNDENsING A REGIMENT Bo-
naparte has granted pension to a widow
with five children, whose case is an inter.
esting one. She is the widow o.. the only
man in the Fusileer regiment who was not
killed in the retreat from Moscow. One day
Captain Jumontier came to announce to
Napoleon the arrival of Marshal Ney and
his corps. Napoleon ordered him to Join his
regiment. An hour or two afterward Ma
| poeon perceived Captain Jumonter stand
ing near a soldier whose singular dress at
tracted the Emperors notice his head was
covered with a sort of Cossack bonnet, and
instead Of his uniform, torn vest which
scarcely covered his shoulders. The cap
tain and the soldier were marching steadily
onward Napoleon called out to him in a
tone Of impatience and i'll humor, "What
are you doing there! Why have you not
rejoined your regiment, and taken your
place at the head of your company?
"Sire | have not lost an instant in obey
| ing your orders.
"What do you say! You don't under
stand me-"
Sire, am with my regiment"
"Your regimentl"
Eyes, Sire: the regiment of Fusileers Of
the Imperial Guard"
"But, where is it, them"
/ Then hoarse voice cried
present, my Emperor
/ The voice was that Of the soldier near
Jumontier; and the widow succored by
Louis Napoleon, is the widow of this soldier.

Thou shalt not take tie name Of
Lori thy God in rain"

Lori My God IN rain.
1t is vain thing, | fear, to remind
mankind ofthe olt-repeated and almost
universal violation Of the above com
mandment. The habilual and thou>
ghtless manner in which many profes-
sors Of religion transgress this cons
mandment, is very unaccouutable.-
The common notion seems TO be that
the sacred name may be used in any
sort OF conversation, provided it is not
connected with an oath; but such is
not the sense ofthe commandment. A
moments reflection will show the utter
absurdty of the idea. The hallowed
name Of "our Father who art in hea.
ven" should not be uttered, except, upon
thought and due solemnity. When
you sec q person who can speak of the
great Creator, as he does of man, or
a horse, you may rest assured that he
or she has no just conception of his
august character; is destitute of rever-
ence: and, Of consequence, cannot be
a good Christian, Notwithstanding there
may be great professions of religion.
How common it is, in the chit-chat of
the day, to hear such expressions as,
Good God'-"God knows"-"my God"
---"God love you"-"Lord God" -"God
forgive me"--"before God'--"as God IS
my judge" &C.. &c, with all the nip-
pancy that they use such words as
the deuce'--"the dickens"--"the devil"
&c, g., have heard persons severely
rebuked for uttering the words" "hell'''--
"the devil" and such like, while they
uttered the sacred name with perfect
impunity, as if the former were actual
ly more sacred than the latter. Such
Ignorance is intolerabe.
| once knew by character a.venera>
bic minister Of the gospel, who, even
when preaching, would always make
a solemn pause after speaking the
name Of God. Was this not commen-
dable, and worthy of imitationl But
in these degenerate days, the sacred
name is uttered, from the pulpit down
to the card table, in connection with
any and oil subjects, with as much in
difference and familiarity as the name
of Dayy Crockett, or any ono else. In
short it is by-word, in every bodys
mouth, and in every conversation,
whether serious, mirthluI, or riotous.
A man of ordinary vencration would
feel greatly offended, if any one should
presume in his presence to speak OF his
father or mother with the same irrever-
ence. Is there no remedy for this ra-
dical defect in our religion Is there
no other word which we could substi.
tute for this, in emphasizing our words
of sincerity or truth, or in giving vent
to our passions and temperSl Batthis
as it may, He has emphatically said: !:
Thou Shalt not take the name cf, the
Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord
will not hold him guiItloss that taketh
his name in vain. - CorrS ofMc Hay.

The Crops and the Weather.

Tie Weather a,d the HurUest- The weather
(says the Georgetown Observer of the 9th) has
been clear and cold during the last week, making
us feel like winter was well his way to US.
Fires in the morning and evening have been very
comfortable. 1t has been glorious week for Il
rice harvest and our planters have made good use
of it. Many have finished the harvest and at the
end of the week nearly every one will have COTTON
through. We still hear of little sickness about
the District, but none OF a serious character.
| Cotton Crop Of Fast Ala5ama.-The Auburn
| Herald of the 18th inst, says the planters have
now a good idea of the extent Of their Cotton crops
for this year, and from all the information we have
| gathered from them on the subject, they will be
| decidedly shorter than that of last year
| Being Immediately on the Montgomery and
| West Point Railroad, we have had frequent oPpor-
/ tunities to converse with gentlemen from the ad-
| Joining counties, and the bordering counties in
Georgia, and they all pronounce the crop OF Their
| particular section, poorer than they have
! made in many years Some say a fourth, Others
at least a third less than that of last year OF
| them estimating the average at more than 40 lbs.
and majority at from 300 to $50 lbs. per acre.

The ohsrlssFaa Courier on Internal

~
Mr. Holmes, the able Representative of the
Charleston District voted alone for the Harbor and
Fertilization Bill. Il gives $4,000 for the com
pletion of Fort Sumpter and for the preservation
of the sites Of Forts Mouitrt6 and johnson, which
had been encroached on by the sea- and 100000 for
the construction of Custom House in Charles
ton. If there is any spot which is holy ground to
the Caroinian, it must be the site of Fort Moul-
.trie, where stood the Palmetto Fort, which, man
ned by the sons of Carolina, beat off the British
fleet.
But it seems that the chivalry bitterly condemn
his vote. A correspondent in the Mercury calls on
him to resign. We hope Mr.. Holmes, " sensible
the last" will retain the seat he fills with so
much honor. The Courier tries to defend his vote.
