"The Presidents message, at the opening ofthe
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
'istration of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mca-
sures of last session That opinion Ia, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
a final settlement Of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfcctons. yet, in their
mutual dependence and connection, they formed
system of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
opinions, and that therefore they should be adj
hered TO, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation TO
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion 80
far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace of the country requires this the security of
the Constitution requires this; and every conside
ration Of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
of the message, il does not expect to stand at all

Rear and Dog story.


The grizzly bear OF California Is terrible
animal. His enormous size and great feroc-
ity, render him a terror to hunters, who often
fall victims of his prey. The only way oies-
cape practiced generally, is by climbing trees
the animals large bulk preventing from fol-
lowing. A gentleman lalely from California
has related us the following adventure oil some
Cal .lornians with an old grizzly:
A company OF four or five persons started
mn n small stream in u skifi, in search oil game
They had left their boat which was so tied
with chain to stake driven in the grounds
that a person stepping into the SIKH wouid
cause il to swing OFT from the shore while an
eddy would after brief time bring IL DacH'
After long hunt, AID when night was cio-
sing upon the forest, the hunters returned 10
the boat. Much 10 their own aston!shment
they pumped down very suddenly upon
large grizzly bear, who surprised himself and
Infatuated rushed at the small crowd furious
ly. Fortunately the hunters were all able 10
oet into the forks OF tree out Of old grizzly's
way, without getting injured, for the old lei
low, after the first onslaught, stood still, aP-
parently vastly amused at the CONSERVATION
and scramble the terrible majesty OF his pres
ence had occasioned. In making their escape
the party had dropped their guns, but one re-
tanned pistol, ball from which produced
singing wound that put cid bruin in terri
bic rage. and he at once commenced gnd,cing
dorn the scrub oak, on the branches OF which
were gathered the hunters. Their first
laughs at what they conceived his folly, was
soon changed into the most serious apprehen-
and success, that they iound he would ere
long succeed in his object iileit unmoiested-
At this moment their dog which was warned
of the trouble by the report of the pistol. came
up and suddenly attacked the besieging party
in the rear. Old Bruin turned around with
his rage redoubled, and stopping his wood
cutting made at the dog, who wisely took TO
his heels. and jumped in the boat. w!ricn
swung from the shore, leaving grizzly the
choice Of wetting his feet, which operation he
seemed to dislike as much as a cat, or lc; his
prey escape. He gave threatening growl
and shake OF his head, as much as TO say
don't you try that again, my FRIEND, and
returning again commenced The interesting
operation which was to end, il he could gam
his point, in nice supper Of mans flesh
Blu, the faithful dog appearing to realize
the jeopardy of his masters life, and the
security Of his own retreat again attacked
grizzly in the flank, who again followed him
TO the waters edge in time to see the dog
seated in the stern of the skf out in the
stream, apparently in the iull enjoyment oihis
perplexity. Again and again was the attack
and retreat renewed, until the bear actually
got worried out and sulenly marched away.
while the hunters made speedy departure.
This is q true tale, and the owner of the
dog, an old sea captain, refuses TO part with
him for money.

Hydrogen n Metal.

That hydrogen can be rendered more bril-
liant than is usually exhibited in It's combus-
ton is now a TACT beyond dispute. He. who
doubts this, can very easily satisfy himself
by transmitting stream oil the gas through
pure turpentlne campHene, and burning 1t as
it Is evolved by means OF a Jet. Nor is there
any greater pressure needed than that al
i0rjed by the bottle or vessel, through which
it passes, containing the camphene. Nor
does the brightness OF the flame at last dim
insh TO the blrish paleness, ordinarily seen
when the gas Is burned without the iuterven-
ton of a second body, or when passing through
impure turpentine.
/ use three Of Woolf's bottles for the ex-
pertinent, generating the gas IN two Of them.
whilst the third holds The camphene aud Jet
tube. believe the opinion is entertained that
the brilliancy is due 10 a supply Of carbon re-
ceived from The turpentine-an opinion at
once contradcted by the fact that the tur-
pentne loses nothing of lis weight, notwth-
standing it has given passage to u large guam
! tity of gas consumed. And yet, if II be not
carbon which gives the Illuminating property
to the tlame,-what is IT | hold that it is
the metal of the gas. Hydrogen is now re-
garded as an exceeding volatile metal. 1t is
! true we have not yet reached that power OF
science by which TO cause its reduction 10 a
y solid or fluid. But It's mode of combination
wiih.eertait bodies.s 40 closely resembles that
of metals tin other words. its taking ilie
pl zee OF metals in combination, Is proof too
stubborn TO deny il Il metallic character, and
) II is this metallic character which makes thl

like the carbon vap0r of the candle or lamp
has been rendered Incandesceni, and heuc,
