INCREASING GLoNGEvITY-Thea assertion
by DR.. Stevens, of New York, In a recent
lecture. that the longevity of the human
race was gradually increasing under the
influence of the improvements III the med
ical profession, has been reviewed by Pro-
fessor Gatchell, of the Eclectic Medical
Institute, Cincinnati, taking an extended
view of the facts furnished by history and
statistics, and showing that from the time
of the Roman empire down to the present
day, progressive amelioratlon IN the
condition of man, and an increase OF aver
age longevity, had been taking place, on
account OF Improvements in industrial
pursuits, the comforts and security OF life.
He traced the operation of these causes
in Great Britain, producing an average
longevity at present nearly twice as great
as in the days of the heptarchy, and the
subsequent periods anterior to the estab-
hshment of the rights of the people 10
attribute the increase of longevity to the
labors of the medical profession, he con-
sidered contradictory to the whole testl-
mony of history. 1t would be far more
rational, he thought, to attribute the I'M
provement to the steam-engine, the PRINT
ing press, the magma charta, or any other
! of the great agencies which have ASSISTED
the progress of civilization.

The Montgomery Atlas has a letter
written on the 11th inst, at Attention,
Wilcox county, giving an account OF
distressing accident, it says: ''Ihere
were four persons drowned in small
creek, not far from here. few days ago.
1t is supposed they were attempting to
cross, thinking it but shallow. Two little
dogs were seen standing upon the edge
of the water bowling most piteously. As
soon as they perceived the gentlemen
from whom we learn the circumstances,
they would swim into the creek, snuff the
water and swim out again, look into the
faces of the gentlemen, and recommence
howling, this, it is affirmed, they repeated
several times. The gentlemen immedi-
arely procured assistance, and draining the
creek found the bodies of gentleman
and lady seated in buggy, young lad
and negro man lying side by side. A
horse was attached to the buggy, and a
little dog was in the lady's lap. They
were buried last Saturday

EGYPTIAN CHARACTERISTICS curl
Gus race of people the Egyptians must
have been. The gieat end of life was
death. They were no sooner born than
they thought about dying. The whole
nation seemed TO live in sort of forcing
pyramid. An Egyptian did not care
SO much where he lodged, so long as he
knew where he was to be buried. His
greatest comfort was to be made nice
mummy of His card was an epita PHI
He was walking about with tombstone
i'll his hand continually. In fact, the large
hess of the pyramids is a. standing proof,
if proof be wanting, what set of tremen-
dous undertakers the Egyptians were.
Their present was the future. This may
partly account for their being So much III
advance of other nations. To speak eX-
travagantly, they seemed to calculate time
with a death-watch, which they wound
up with skeleton key. They made
themselves, in fact so familiar with death
that they invited hum 10 tueir fo,.ss~, and
put him at the head of the table at all
their weddings, anniversaries, plcnlcs and
grand dinners.

Carr SUTTER-Z The First SettIer-
We find the following notice of this
pioneer in California enterprise, in the
San Francisco correspondence of the
Rochester American:
Capt. Suster, from his name being as
sociated with the first discovery of the
gold, and from the frequent recurrence
of Suffers Fort and ''Sutter's Mill" in
the papers, has come to be regarded as
prominent and very influential man, by
most readers of newspapers in the United
States, but is quite another affair in Cali
fornia. He is Swiss gentleman, of mil
itary education, who commanded com
pany of Royal Guards i'll the French SER
vice, and fought for Charles X in the rev.
olution of July, 1880 Soon afterwards
he emigrated to alfornia, where he was
naturalized under the Mexican laws, and
became a large land holder, living in a
kind Of state in the midst OF a large rancho
with an ample seraglio of squaws, and
exercising the jurisdiction of life and death
at pleasure over the aboriginal natives =
Meanwhile, for twelve or sixteen years,
his wife and children have been living
secluded in Switzerland, whence they are
now expected soon TO join him in CalIfor-
MIA. He is short, dumpy, thick set man,
with grey hair, and a splendid iron grey
moustache, and what most people might
call fine head; of fine gentlemanly man.

SeUeraL of them at a time, easily fuddled,
and, when fuddled, easily led into the
commission OF any act, even OF those in-
volving his most valuable rights of prop
erty. He is man whom every hody
likes, and nobody in particular respects,
and almost the last man in California who
ought to be made its Governor.

A MoNoMANIAC.-An old gentleman,
who is called Gen. Rees E. Price, owns a
large amount OF real estate on the Wes-
tern borders of the city. A portion of this
was some time since condemned for the
use of the Hamilton r. r. Co., but the
General has from time to time refused to
let the Directors or their agents enter
upon his grounds, threatening 20 use force
to expel them if they did so.
lie claims that his land is an indepen-
dent nation, that he has dissolved his
connection with the Union, (having doas
SO III consequences of the admission O,
Texas, and the war against Mexico,) pro-
claims himself to he Theocrat, under the
special protection of Divine Providence,
and other such insane vagaries.
The company endeavored to compro-
mise the matter with him, but the asttiRa-
tum that he laid down was that on a GER
tain day he w onld meet the Board of Di-
rectors III mortal combat and would dash
out their brains with his heels, aud so de-
ternline the matter-but if they subdued
him, then of course possession would be
given up.
The President and Directors not being
quite so belligerent as the General.
brought him to civil trial by jury sum-
moned before Judge Wiseman. Here the
General was his own attorney and some
ludlcrous scenes were enacted-but the
jury found the General to be insane, and
ne has been placed under guardianship.
This is most singular instance Of
monomania-on all other subjects than
religion, he is perfectly rational, is a good
citizen, much respected, and conducts his
business affairs with prudence.

4Arrowsbank OH the matter you wrote
about, namely, "The dew on beauty's
lips" and although his opinion Is little
TOO professional, perhaps, we give 1t. In
answer to our query, he says:
The dew on the lips of beauty has
long been held, by the best authorizes, to
be peculiar secretion arising, generally,
from the region of the female heart, and
produced by pecuIIaf nervous suscepti-
bility in that organ. 1t is undoubtedly
fluid of very remarkable although some
times contradictory qualities, being ex-
ceedingly rich and sweet in flavor aud
generally highly stimulating, and even
Intoxicating in its efects-particularly
if slipped in over doses. Indeed, mere
are some constitutions in which even the
slightest quantity produces dellrlum; and
It IS remarked that poets cannot bear even
the sight or odor of 1t without ialilhg
into species of fit or trance, although

JUDICIAL LANEcDorE-Pedro l., eighth
king of Portugal. was remarkable for his
steady and impartial administration Of
justice, of which the following is re-
markable instance:
can ecclesiastic, in a high fit of passion,
killed mason, whom he had employed,
for not executing something agreeable to
his mind The king dissembled the
knowledge of the crime, and left it to the
cognizance of the proper courts, where
the issue of the business was, that the
priest was suspended from saying mass tor
year. at this punishment. the family
OF the deceased were highly offended.
.Ihe king caused 1T 10 he limited TO the
tnasogf' son that he should kill the priest,
which he did, and having fallen into the
hands of justice, he was condemned TO
sutfer death; but, as no capitol punish
ment could be executed without the king S
consent, this was laid before him among
the rest; upon which he asked what was
the young mans trade. 1t was answer
ed that he followed his father trade;
then. said the king, l shall commute this
punishment by restraining him from med
ding with stone or mortar for twelve
month. But after this he punished cap
ital crimes i'll the clergy with death; and
when they desired that his majesty would
be pleased to refer their case to supe-
rior tribunal, he answered, very calmly.
