Willard Fillmore and the Insurance
Companies.


MlLLARD FILLMORE, the acting President of
the U. s., has Just effected an insurance upon
his life for the sum of $4,000. When we cons
slider that he is now in the receipt of yearly
salary of $4,000, and that when he retres to
private life his extensive legal attainments will
insure him large revenue; at first reflection it
appears strange that he would be willing to pay
the premium yearly, necessary to insure him at
death, for the benefit of his family, the sum of
$4,000; yet, in this transaction, the President
actually evinccs more wisdom and foresight in
pecuniary matters, than he does Of polemc abil-
ity in his late message; and we know of no in
dividual who has read that document who does
not commend it, as aohole, for its statesmanike
views and its terse diplomacy. Who, then, let
us ask, that is in the receipt of much less pay
and who has no such profitable business to fall
back upon. can afford to remain uninsured for
single day? especially in this community, where
a millionaire at death wonld be pauper, and his
children beggars. Who, that has so little regard
for the welfare of his bereayed and unprotected
family, his innocent children, and his wife unac-
customed to severe toll, and unburnished in con-
flict with exacting landlords, and dishonest huck-
sters, but would willingly pay premium of $40
or $50 per year in order to secure to them at his
death The sum of $4,000 or $4,000, and thus rem
der them independent Of the freezing charities
of the world, and comfortable and warm by the
Preside Of cottage of their own. The mutual
is the only principle of equty--it is the only
system that can stand. "The Union Mutual

PSYCHOLOGY.

Should sufficient number of tickets be sold to
justify it, Mr.. CoDDING will give course of five
lectures this important subject to our citizens.
This science of mental impressions we look upon
really of as much Importance as any that has
ever been developed to the human attention In
its infancy perceive that it is destined to re-
volutionize the mode of education and the art of
medicine, and beyond question it will develops re-
suits that will favorably affect every walk and de-
partment of life. Under it the miracles of old are
being re-enacted. Within day or two we have
read of an instance so well authenticated as to leave
no doubt of its truth, where gentleman who had
just weathered the point of death under an attack
of typhus fever, and was assured by his physician
that six weeks was the shortest time in which he
could hope to rise from his bed, was enabled by
psychology, to rise the next day from his bed, walk
the room, and seat himself without assistance
and in 10 days was in the enjoyment of his
toned health. And this is not an isolated case for
similar ones, andmany even more remarkable, meet
our eve continually. 1t is not wtchcraft, nor nee
romancy, nor deviltry of any kind, but great,
broad, universal TRUTH instituted by God to bless
his children and all can learn it, understand it, and
enjoy it. 1t is demonstration of the supremacy
Of the eternal spirit over the mortal perishing ply
Steal parts, and leads us to know the true means
by which the physical may be sustained in health
its allotted time, and the spiritual properly unfold
ed and developed for its eternal life.
What little our citizens have seen CT this science
has been in the hands of mountebanlss and the ex-
hibitions have been of that character Mr.. Cod
ding teaches the science not to amuse or astonish
gaping crowd, but to permanently benefit those
who hear him. He understands his subject thor
oughly and can expound it ably, and to be brief
we candidly think rare opportunity is offered to
our citizens to benefit themselves.
A ticket for the course, which will admit a fami-
y, Or gentleman and two ladies, or two gentlemen,
can be had for one dollar. The Lectures will COM
mence as soon as tickets enough to pay expenses
are sold.
Tickets may be had at this office.

New ROUTE DISCOVERED IN NICARAGUA
Advices from San Juan, dated Nov. 2, say that
the engineers employed in making the surveys
for the proposed ship CANAL have met with the
most eminent success, and that the practibility
of constructing the canal no longer admits of any
doubt. A route has been surveyed from MIC
aragua Lake, four miles north of the city, which
! has an elevation Of only so feet, and gradual
! descent to the Pacific. The engineers pro-
nounce the route to be in every way desirable,
| the distance being but twelve miles, from the
Lake to the Pacific.
NOVEL EXPERIMENr-Ih morning the ope-

were unable TO send messages, or TO commune
cate further west than Westfed. Beyond this
the wires would notdistinctly operate. At length
a person, residing four miles west of Westield
! came into the village, and informed the operator
+ there that he had been disturbed of his rest all
night by the bowling of dogs On getting up
this morning he ascertained the cause. He
! found near his house two dogs tied to the Tele-
graph wires, and they were performing sundry
and divers capers, such as the canine race exhib-
it after having takena good dose Of nur ronaica.
Some wag had cut the wires and taken them out
of several posts, andtied dog to the end by the
tail, the electricity, at every manipulation Of the
operator, causing the dogs to howl out messages
of war instead OF love and business.

Three miles of a lady was enabled To read

and at two miles distant the Herald was read
with ease, by a number oil individuals. The
commissioners who were appointed 10 exam
inc the light, proceeded ont tn sea seven miles.

This Mr.. State(spelled Static )never was N

was not invented by Mr.. Static. but by Prof.
Sanders of tie Memphis Institute who took
it TO London, ana there it was sold to Mr..
Static, who turned about and re patented it
as 'sSrai,e's Light" thus depriving the real
inventor of the honor of producing for Eng
land the light which now adorns her principal
lighthouses and mines.
Prot. Sanders is about making arrange
ments to exhibit this magnificent light TO our
citizens. Let Cincinnati do justice 10 one OF
