PHLosoPHY.-Why do persons in crowded
church feel drowsy? 1st, because the crowded
congregation inhalc large proportion of the
oxygen of the air, which can alone sustain Vi
tality and healthy action; and, IDLY, the air of
the church is impregnated with carbonic acid
gas, which, being a strong narcotic, produces
| drowsiness in those who inhale il. .# .#

reached here before my arrival from Washing
ton last week. & N alaxttttsisS ekit ~ "
|* .aT*aa a'i h *la You say ",It is possible
ydu- maye net like payu ssfassaes ia Eear duel
with Coke" Now, let me say, in all sincerity
and humility, that could the whole truth be
fully known, would prefer the world to know
every fact Of the whole history Of my life. You
know that this may not be arrogant in me to
say, for if were not Of sufficient consequence
to be, noticed by the world the world ought
never to have maligned me as it has and it
might have let my name alone. Notoriety, and
mot an ehviable one, it has given me, and now
It owes me simple Justice. You are one of a
few out of the many tried, disinterestedly to
serve when in public life, and am gratifed for
your one "sWeet voice. l wish, for truths
sake and your own, you could reach the multi
tude. But, for myself, i am Indifferent The
world cannot take away my love Of truth-my
contempt for its too common dread of terrors,
which never did appal me nor my love for
mankind, almost universal, which buoys me
more than aught else in life. But the trials of
my life have chastened and humbled me much,
as they ought to have done, though not SO
much as they should. l have suffered much,
and am now child of sorrow. Last fall was
snatched away from duty to bury an angel
wife, and the other day laid the form of her
youngest away, whose spirit is now, with its
mother. Who would be an infdel? Who would
chooseinot the Joy Of believing in blessed i'm.
mortality3 Who would not have it SO in imagi
nation, as well as in the certainty of Revela
ton, that there has been a Dieine Prototype 0
! lSt6ering--of human sufferinga And who tina
would have it SO would add one pang in thi
/ world to- that misery of which. it is so full
/ When you tell me / have ever SO slightly serve,
you, you repay me with the richest reward
the consciousness of doing or having done tn
slightest to make one fellow mortal happy. Th
whole. of human philosophy is, in learning b
suffer like Christ. .ei. ag.,

A NEW REASON FOR PAINTING WHITE.-Somc
Of the black metallic shutters during the last
fire at Francisco absorbed so much heat that
they set on fire the window-frames and sashes
inside. Had they been painted white, some Of
the papers say, the case would have been diff
ferent. Every fre-proof building should be
painted white. The Post Office building was
saved by its color more than any other cause
If the color of building is thus material to its
security, we must submit to the intolerable
glare we suppose Yet there viii still, how
ever, arise question with many, whether it is
better to preserve our buildings or our eyesI

| II THE BOMB SHE'LL CoNTRACT.-Th contract
which has blown up General TaIcott, and Sc,
riouslyl damaged others, has been much com
| nfented on by the letter writer's and the press
The decision of the court-martial is generally
conceived to be entirely just. We half suspect
that the course of the negotiation and final
giving out of the immense contract was simply
pursuance of loose system Of fayoritism
which had grown up under preceding admins
trations. But coming to the knowledge of Mr..
Cpnrad-who was green in the matter Of dis
tributing personal fayors through government
contracts-and whose sense of public duty was
rather too old-fashioned to be swerved by the
bland and persuasive appeals of gentility and
friendship, he would not rest till he had the
whole matter exposed, and the head of the
Ordnance Bureau brought to accountability
for it ..t
The lesson is severe but just one and it is
to be hoped will be warning to others The
admonition of the President to Colonel Huger
smacks also of old-fashioned rigor and virtue.
He wants no more private letters on public bu-
siness--they are very improper. Congratula-
tions about contracts getting into the hands Of
friends, and suggestions about having private
understandings" with the head of the bureau,
on the subject of contract for public work,
did not seem altogether proper in the eyes OF
the President Nor were they.
This explosion of the bomb-shell contract
while it is to be lamented, it is to be hoped will
be of service in preventing like TRANSACTIONS at
least for some time to come.-Rich. Dispatch.
