DEcLIyiTY OF RIvEas.-A very slight de-
cliviiy sufIices TO give the running motion 10
water. Three inches per mile, in a smooth,
straight channel, gives a velocity of about
three miles an hour. The Ganges, which
galhersi the waters ofihe Himalaya Mountains,
the lofiiest in the world, is, at 1900 miles
from lis mouth, only about 500 feet above the
level o. the sea-aboul twice the height of
St. Paul's, in London, or the height oil Arlhur's
Seat, in Edin5urg-and TO fall these 500 feet
in lis long course, the water requires more
than month. The great river Magdalena, in
South America, running for 1900 miles be-
tween two ridges of the Andes, falls only 500
feet in all that distance; above the commence
ment of the 1000 miles, it is seen descending
in rapids and cataTacts from the mountains.
The gigantic Rio de la Plata has so gentle
descent to the ocean, that, in Paraguay, 1900
miles from its mouth, large ships are seen
which have sailed against the current all the
way by the force of the wind alone-that is

plane OF the stream, have been gradually lif-

HUGE ANATOMICAL DENOMINATION.
A DR.. Cartwright of New Orleans, amuses
himself with the anatomical dissection Of al
ligators, his objec, being, as he alleges, the
demonstration of certain new physiological
views that he enterains. On q recent occa-
sion he cut up three of these monsters in the
presence OF large number of scientific gen.
tlemen, with the following results, according
10 n reporter:
Gle divided the spinal marrow in three
places--at the base of the neck, in the mid
die, and al the base of the back nay, he
divided the nerves emerging from the spine
and still. on irritating the nerve between
the section ard the extremity, he demon
strated that the animal possessed difused
sensibili,y, capacity TO recognise pain, and
even an intelligent power 10 act against, or
attempt TO escape the cause of the pain
Cutting Of the head of the animal, jobbing
out the spinal marrow, dividing the nerves
coming from them, and irritating them along
their dslal portions, they still retain this in
dependent sensibility, and the muliated
limbs of the headless animal would make in
ielligent motions for getting rid of the local
torture. These are curious ard important
discoveries.
CDR. Cartwright contends, agains, long
odds, il is true, that in the lungs, not the
neart, resides the motive power Of the circu-
lation; that literally, as Moses asserted, the
blood is the life of the flesh, and the air the
life of the blood. He afirms that after
death, when the pulse has stopped, the heart
is still, and the tody is insensible 10 pain !;

The Result.

The Election is over, and the result remains
to be announced and considered. That result,
not wholly unexpected by us, but far more decl-
sive than either friends or foes anticipated, is
the entire prostration of the Wing party in Yer
mont. The political revolution thus effected,
will be attributed by many to the agitation Of
the Liquor Law, for which, according to party
rules, the Wings being the dominant party at
the time of its passage, are, however unjustly,
held responsible. This question may have had
its effect; but to far less extent, we imagine,
than is at present generally believed; for with
out this there are other and many causes for the
result. Among these, the enormous treachery
of the Wing party 10 their professions of free
principles, by which, for years, they prolonged
their waning power, should be held the most
prominent; since they " have died and made no
sign T" of recantation Besides this which should
seal the fate of any party of itself, there seems,
for some time, to have been growing con.
seriousness among themselves that, for the good
Of the State, they had been in power long
enough, and, consequently, that they should at
least cease their exsrtions for the continuance Of
their ascendency. These two causes, with the
favorable opportunity afforded in the agitation Of
the liquor question to act upon them, have oper-
ated probably as the main instruments of their
overthrow. But whatever the causes of the re.
sult Of this election, the result itself is certain;
and It's effect on the political desnes of the
State is now very naturally the subject of con-
sideratioD.
The House, which will embrace an unusual
number of able men. will consist of something
like 100 Wings, 80 Democrats, and 40 Free
Democrats. On this House, and the nearly
balanced Senate, will devolve the duty of elect.
ing the State Officers, and a United States Sen
ator. This together with tie political consid-
elatons growing out of the pres ent juncture Of
affairs, will make The coming session of the
Legislature more momentous and rife with con.
sequences than any since 1885. And in this
House the Free Democrats, as all can readily
perceive, wall hold the balance of power-a
power which, this session, will be for them
most important one. Lei them WELD it well and
wisely Tor the destines Of the cause of Freedom
in Vermont may turn on their action

GEOLOGY or THE SIERRA NEvADA.-A
State geological survey of the mountains form-
lng the eastern boundary OF California has been
made, and report presented to the Legislature
OF that Safe, by Prot. Trask. In addition to
gold, he has found silver; principally towards
the south, sometimes associated with copper
and gold in quartz in the form OF a sulphuret,
and also with gaena and zincblende. Copper
is found widely distributed IN the western side
OF the range. Platinum exists in as large guam
titles as gold, and in ALMOST every part OF the
mountain 1t is frequently combined with nther
minerals, which it resembles, and is not there
fore easily detected: from lis commercial value
it will undoubtedly prove great source OF fu-
turc pro1t. Chromium is also found IN great
quantities IN some sections, frequently IN large
irregular masses, W. lghing from twenty to sixty
pnnnds: in other localities it - seen running
IN VEINS through serpenllDe rocks. The pres
euce Of this mineral appears to prevent vegeta-
ton as the Districts where it is found are In.
varably barren The chromium alone, in these
monnttins Prot Task considers worth as much
as The gold 1t is used IN the production of
colors of which chrome yellow is familiar re.

AN ITEM FOR THE MARvELous.-1he fol.
loving remarkable statements were made to rs

man:
On Wednesday last week, Mr.. Edwards. a
member Of band, died suddenly at his resi-
dence on Ship street. Mr.. Els kindly called on
the atii cled family to tender his services reouir-
ed at such tine. He had been in the house
but few moments whn he heard the notes Of a
post horn coming seemingly from an apartment
IN the house the sounds were repeated at inter,
walls ct tom five to ten minutesai least six times.

Details of the Election.

VoTEs ON GovERNoR.-Having failed to OBJ
tain anything like an accurate list of the votes
for Governor through the State we can only give
conjecture, founded on such partial lists as
we have seen, of the general result, which will
probably amount to loss of nearly 5000 TO Fair
banks, and about the same gain to Robinson
Branerd may not come up to his last years vote
many of his old supporters having gone for
the different Anti Maine Law County Tickets
headed by Robinson while he received no
Wing votes to coupterbaance.
TIT FREE DEMOCRATIC STRENGTH IN THE
HousE.--W have found it impossible to ascer-
tain our exact strength in the House, owing to
The fact that, as last year, many of The returns
put down the opposition to the Wings as Demo-
'crSts. without distinguishing the FrecDemocras.
But from those returns that do distinguish, and
oilr means If correcting those marked only as
democrats, we should Judge there to have been
handsome gain Of Anti-Slavery members over
the reliable number of last year, which was
about 30. But, however may prove our numeri-
cal strength, our moral and intellectual strength,
will altogether suspass those of any former Leg
lsla'ure. We'll may the Free Democracy be
proud of their leaders in the Legislature this
year. With such men as 0. L. Sha fter, of
WILMINGTON, E. ID. Barber of Middebury.
Horatio Needham of Bristol, John Mclean Of
Cabot, Charles X. Fields of New Fame, with
many others we could name, in the House, and
A. J. Rowell in the Senate, the friends of Free.
dom have mt reason to fear for their cause.
The ELECTION IN MoNTpELIER.-Thi was
a two.days battle, and the severest ever had in
Montpelier There were two rival Wing can
ddates on whom their party was divided their
different views on the Maine Liquor Law, SEEM
ing to be the cause Of the split. The result
was the election, by majority of II, of E. P
Walton, Jr., editor of the Vern,ont Waichman
as Maine Law Why.
Of Mr.. Walton, though political opponent,
we will be frank to say that we believe Mont
peier has never sent to the Legislature many,
ifany, more able and efficient representatives.
THE Liquor LAW 1t seems 10 be under
stood that there will be majority against the
Liquor Law in the House, and IN favor of it 10
the Senate; though from the nature of our re.
turns we have found it impossible 10 designate
the members in this respect.
