Democracy Of seIcnee.-No. @.
By JOSIAH l1oLBRooK.


What Is the Democracy or science is one
question. What agencies, plans, and measures
are best fitted 10 promote, secure, and perpetu.
ate such Democracy, is another question. AT
the first question a slight glance has been taken,
few hints given; taking the ground that the
elementary, universal, and eternal principles Of
science, controlling all human affairs, should be
understood by all human beings Touching the
second question-agencies-a" GREAT PUBLIC
THO" is in full view, as Immediately available
the public press, public fui ctionaries, and
public schools. In speaking Of these agencies,
facts are better than theories, showing what has
been, as proof Of what may be.
For n year or two past entire series OF aftic
les on practical notwithstanding AND
MEcsAHism-have been published in newspa-
pers and read in schools opening for the pub.
lie press new and rich field Of labor, and pro.
vidinq for schools a new and powerful instru
ment Of elevation and Of progress Carried out,
a combined and reciprocating action between
these two agencies would change the American
press into one great JOURNAL OF Science"
and schools into institutions for production and
recprocation; for accumulaling and radiating
light.
To strengthen such combined action, gov
eminent functionaries have rendered efficient
and cheerful aid. The President Of the United
States, several members of bis cabinet, Judges
Of the Supreme couit, and numerous members OF
Congress, with commissioners and clerks in the
various departments Of the government, have
aided in the distribution of matters Of science in
various forms, both in connection with the pub
lie press and with schools. Very recently draw
ings and other SCHOOL PRODUCTS" relating es.
pecially 10 agriculture and mechanism, have
been sent by members OF Congress both TO pa
pers and TO school in their respective Districts
and States. The products of the press have al
so been distributed in like manner-Vithn a few
days past, principally by the United States Sem
ators, to every State in the Union.
To the American post Office the attention is
at once instinctively drawn, as The great govern
ment functionary for the radiation of scientific
light. Let each Of our twenty thousand post
offices become a concentrating and radiating
point of light, and the same number Of post
masters, with their numerous assistants, radiat-
ing agents, and all in connection with schools
and the press, and who cannot zee general
flood of light spread over our land, constantly
leading American citizens 10 see more eye Il
eve, and to act more hand in hand, for their mu.
tual benefit and for the elevation and true dig.
nifty Of our country and of humaniiyi
To render the radiation Of true light--the
light Of science and Of soul--universal, foreign
ministers and other government fonctionaries
from abroad have caused the same scientific
matter, which has been circulated by the public
press through the public schools in this country
TO be translated into their respective languages
and distributed by the same agency, the press
TO the same fields Of labor, schools, in their own
countries,

STATES MAIL STEAMSHI
CoMPANY--TH THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA

TIME public will be gratifed TO learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled TO announce that theirarrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York TO San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York TO Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon at the urgent solicitation Of the great
number then desirous TO 60 out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
lence of fever at Rio de Janero at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impotence of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
OF the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These Interruptions are now all removed.
Three of the four ships Of the Company, intended
for, the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch. -"
lhelr racine Line, from Panama TO San Fran
cisco, consists Of the " ..

The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up so that no delay
beyond the usual stay of the ship in port at Pana
ma, will arise. '...
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships of their Pacific Line offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California.
