we see what railroads are doing, and
in how many directions they are diver

Spirit UAppingu,

There can be no doubt bot that .
new and interesting view Of phyiolo-
eical science Is about being developed
and more perfectly explained to man
kind, at least it is reasonable TO sup.
pose from all we see and hear of de-
velopments daily made in our midst,
that the laws Of mind and electricity
are soon to be more generally under
stood and more easily explained, than
heretofore. We cannot assent to the
bold and startling declarations that
the phenomena now SO common here,
are the result Of direct communication
between spirits of the living and spir-
its Of the dead but that there is about
it much of mystery, much Of intelli-
gent and correct thoughts, much that is
inexplicable by known laws and the
sciences, we are willing toadmit' The
question i" if they are not spirits, what
are they ?' is easily asked ! but, we
are forced to confess, not 70 easily ans
wered. 'If it is moi Ito coin n phrase)
electrial mentality. what is it 2" if
rightly answered, We think would give
a key to the whole mysterious subject.
We will venture one opinion upon
the "rappings," "tippings' and writ
ings;" and that is they are the effect
Of mental contact, and produced
through the medium Of magnetism and
electricity. After several "sittings,"
and observing the moo<us optransli, Of
turning tables, chairs, &c; we are not
satisfied that spirits from the other
world have even the slightest connec-
ton with it. We believe, then, that
the whole thing resolves itself into, and
will be fully explained and understood,
when the laws of MAGNETISM, electrici-
ty and mental BIOLOGY are fully devcl-
oped. n

QUALIFICATIONS OF THE GOVERNOR
ELEcr.-On Thursday Committee
of both branches Of the Legislature
visited the plantation of Col. PAUL o.
HEBEET, where they were met by
Chief Jestice EusTIs, who, in their
presence, administered the oath of Of
fee. The oath was administered in the
Governors sick room, he being too I'M
well to receive his distinguished visi-
tors with any degree Of formality
Lieut.. Gov. FARMER was also sworn in
at the same time.
Gov. HEBERr's physicians think
that he will he able to attend to his Of
fetal duties in Baton Rouge, in the
course of couple Of weeks. We sim
cerely trust so. The presence of a
Governor elect, under all the circum-
stances, is peculiarly important to the
State at this present juncture, and, as
we understand Gov. Hebert is dispos-
ed to be liberal in his opinions, and in
favor of progression and internal i'm.
provcments, we hope his personal
countenance and influence will not
long be Wanting. Louisiana demands

THE CLAyToN-BULwER TREATY.
The discussion in the Senate touching
the understanding Of Senators as to
the bearing of the CLAYTON and Bull
WEIR treaty was resumed yesterday,
says the National Intelitgencer of
the 18th instant, and apparently
brought to close. During its pro-
or ess, Mr.. PEAEcE, of Maryland, read
the following note from Hon. WV. r.
KING, relieving Mr.. CLAYTON Of i'm
putations that have been cast upon him
in connection with the negotiation and
ratification of the treaty:
"Colonel King desires Mr.. Pearce
to say in the Senate that it has not
been his desire or intention, in any,
thing which he has been represented
as saying in reference to the Clayton
and Bulwer treaty, to cast the slightest
imputation on Mr.. J. NJ. Clayton in
reference to that matter. On the
contrary. he desires to do MIR. Clayton
the justice to say that he is convinced
that in everything connected with that
treaty he (Mr. c. was actuated by a
patriotic anxiety to protect the rights
and interests Of his country. Colonel
King feels mortified that anything said
by him, under a misrepresentation Of
the facts of the case should have been
made the basis for unjust reflections on
Mr., ClaYton.'

A Proposed Experiment.


There has been nossaying oftener repeated
and none more worth9sof repetition, so far as
farm economy is concerned, than "A place fol
everything, and everything in lis place. One
of the hest modes forisevery farmer TO apply
this rule in practice, isFo make a complete list
Of all his farm implements, from his wagons.
carts, and plows, dowHto avis, gimblets and
screw-drivers. Let every implement be i'm
medlaiely returned to rs place after using, no
matter how inconveniens this may be, instead
Of throwing il on the Ground until forgotten,
with the intention of REPLACING it when more
suitable moment occsss to do so. Now, if
any one is uuprepared4 10 adopt this plan, we
would recommend thee following experiment,
in order 10 reduce It's merits to the test of ac-
curate figuring. Let him keep an accurate
record Of all the Iimedost in one year by hunt
ing for lost tools in tifries of emergency, add
ing in the losses occaaoned by keeping other
persons or teams in wsfting, while the search
is in progress, also saddhg the waste occa-
stoned by the consequent exposure Of such tools
to the weather, or by fhally losing them,
not forgetting 10 estiItiAte the delriment to his
crops and farming operations generally, by the
delay thus frequently koccasioned. (He may,
likewise, if he chooses keep an account cur
rent of the amount of aexation caused by these
frequent annOyances, anless he is so far gone
that disorder and delaH are matters of indiffer-
ence TO him.) We haye no doubt that such
an experiment as this faithfully followed out,
would greatly surprisshim at the end Of the
year, and furnish satisfactory proof of the i'm
mense superiority Of tke plan first proposed by
us. Who will be wiIIhg to give both ways a
full trial! n

Juvenile Invention.

A little boy dropped his drnmstick into a
well. In vain he enueated papa and mamma,
the gardener, and The servants, to 60 down into
The we'll TO recover the drumstick.' In this dis
tress brilliant expedient occurred to Master
Francis. He secretly carried off all the plate
from the sideboard, and threw it down the well,
Great was the CONSERVATION when the plate
was missed, and an active search was COM
menced. In the confusion, Master Frank runs
in out of breath with the news that he had found
the plate.S "a M ,1 & t h ~ l a.

The family hurried to the well, at the bot

BILE. A ladder was got, servant descended
and the plate was brought up. Just before the
last article was 6shed for, Master Francis 81
lently whispered to the servant at the bottom,
AS you are down there, John, will thank
you just to bring my drumstick along with the

as the incorrigible wag had not been so incau-

no proof could be had, for by a shrewd man
