the language of these cannibals is one OF
the softest known. The rules of syntax
can here be found in their infancy
Cases, lenses, modes and genders, are
formed By prefxing or subjoining sepa-
rate words. Thus gender is Distinguish
ed by adding the words tame, man, and
acahine, woman. The word for harvest
is taku matua; father is, therefore, tdku
matua tame, and mother tdku naatua ica-
hine. BY the aid of auxiliary words
nouns perform also the part of verbs, adj
iectives, and adverbS. Aroha is love,
and | love is E aroha ana aho. Here e
and ana are particles, making the noun
aroha verb, and aho is the pronoun l.
1t is curious to find in all this poverty a
definite and an indefinite article. Still,

currence of a dual in the pronoun. Tdtas

CHINESE POPULAR LITERATURE
Our servant, We-chan, was a great read
er, and wheneverhe went ashore he used
to come back with a stock of little PAM
phlets, that he afterward devoured in his
own cabin. These ephemeral produc-
tons of the ready pens of the literary
class usually consist of tales, novels, po-
ems, biographies of illustrious men or
notorious villains, and fantastic and mar
vellous stories of various kinds. The
Greeks fixed the abode of their monsters
and fabulous creatures in the East, and
the Chinese have returned the compli-
ment by placing theirs in the West, be-
yond the seas. There dwell their dog
men, their nation with ears long enough
to trail on the ground as they walk
there is the kingdom of women, and Of
the people with hole right through them
at the breast; the mandarins of which
people, when they go out, merely pass q
sick through this hole, and have them
selves carried thus between two domes.
tics. If the bearers are strong enough
they often string on several gentlemen a

A Free State out of Texas.

From various sources, says the New
Orleans Creole, we have come in posses
sion of facts, which go to show that the
French, German, Swiss, Hungarian and
other foreigners viii, ere long, make
strong demonstration to form a free State
out of Western Texas. We have lately
conversed with men from that part of the
State, and they unhesitatingly aver that
the foreigners there are to a man oppos-
ed to slavery. There are also men from
the North who are insiduous leaders in
the movement and are urging the for
eigners to take bold stand in favor of
the project. They are busy in the work
of drilling them for the contest, and al
ready boast of having ten thousand vo-
tiers.
The struggle for division will soon
commence, and although natives of the
State would like to see a division. yet
they fear to test the question. But
whether they move or not, the foreigners
will move for them and bring on the is
sue. The longer the natives of the state
delay action on this subject the worse il
will be for them, for their opponents are
gathering numerical strength. and will
doubtless, overwhelm them sooner or la
ter, unless our present patent process Of
naturalization is speedily arrested. II
will be remembered that a few months
ago, j. A. Wilcox published letter in
the organ Of the American party at Alb.
erdeen, Miss, in which the facts alluded
to by the Creole were put forward with
considerable power-whereat the Anti.
Slavery press affected to laugh and make
merry generally.
Dir. Wilcox nevertheless spoke the
truth. The foreign population of ives,
tern Texas is thoroughly abolitionized
and as proof, the Germans publish and
support an incendiary sheet at San An.
tonic, called the San Antonio Zeituno-
These people own no negroes, nor d,
they wish Slavery either peon or of III,

WHAT WILL THE VERMONT WIND
MILL DO?-We have and are now re-
ceiying letters from all parts of the T.
nited States inquiring whether the Yer
mont windmill will do this kind of work,
or drive this kind of machinery. To
such we say, it viii do any thing which
any kind of power will do which does not
require more than the force of five or six
horses. The largest sizes which are man
ufactured by the inventors manufactur-
ing company are but five or six horse
power. The smallest one is but a one
man power. After a good mill is once
put up, the expense Of saving portion Of
the force that is daily and nightly sweep
ing over our farms and dwellings will be
merely nominal. We hope the great
number who have written to us for these
mills will pardon us if the answer is de-
layed few days. We must have time
to sleep and take our lunch.-Ltfe LHus.

NATURAL BARoMETERs.-Ch ickweed
Is an excellent barometer. When the
flower expands fully, we are not to ex-
pect rain for several hours; should it
continue in that state, no rain will dis
turb the summers day. When it half
conccals its miniature flower, the day is
generally showery; but if it entirely
shuts up, or wells the white flower with
its green mantle, let the traveller put on
his great coat. The different species of
Trelols always contract their leaves at
the approach of a storm; so certainly
does this take place, that these plants
acquired the name of the husbandman's
barometer. The tulip, and several Of
the compound yellow flowers, all close
before rain. There Is a species of wood
sorrel, which doubles its leaves before
storms. The Bauhinia, or mountain eb-
ony, capital and sensitive plants, observe
the same habits.

THE BASKET WILLOW.

Mr.. NJ. D. Everest, of Macedonia de-
pot, Ohio, writes the Ohio Farmer, I'M
der date Sept. Is, as follows:
Last April 1 bought of GeorgeJ. Col
by, of Vermont, fifty thousand willow
cuttings. We got through sticking them
the 10Th of May, and now many of the
sprouts are six feet long, and all will av-
erage about four feet. They viii pay
well this year, if there should be sale for
the cuttings. My ground was only plow-
ed, for the wet weather commenced be-
fore l knew that / should obtain any cut
tings; but we were particular to put the
cuttings clear through the sod, into the
soil below, and only few of them failed
to grow. The best time to prepare the
ground is in the fall, for most of the land
tina; is suitable for the willow is too wet
to till in the spring, early enough. Ii
takes about three days work to stick an
acre with the cuttings; it should be don't
early in the spring, before other worl
commences, so that it can be done wei
without costing too much per acre.
From what I know of the willo1
trade, and the cultivation of the willow
there is no doubt, in my mind, that far
mers will find it very lucrative to gro
them. Most every farmer has some Ian
on which nothing but trash grows, whic
is just the land for the willow.

the universe, Us iaf as 'iS hA''N r.
ers of the former can develope her hid
den attributes. In the hands of the
chemist and the mechanic matter under
roes those transformations by which we
can demonstrate by analogy the stupen-
dous wonders which take place IN the
laboratory ofnature. In reasoning from
the less to the greater we arrive at the
conclusion, that in both places she obeys
the same laws and displays similar phe-
nomena. But let us at present confine
ourselves to two properties of matter,
namely, division and combination, or the
susceptibility of being divided and COM
bined according to certain laws and by
certain forces.
And, perhaps, there is no law in phys
/ les which has so close bearing upon
medical science, and which it is more i'm
portant that the medical student should
50 clearly comprehend, than that which
governs the diUisibiltyof matter. Ours
are not only days of rapid and mighty
progress, but days of wild fanaticism and
restless speculation. The student should
clearly and fully understand how much
he may reasonably expect from matter in
all the changes it may undergo by divis-
lion or combination and even when ma
ture and art have united to evolve its la
tent powers, = reason, experience and
science only should be trusted to define
the bounds beyond which he cannot safe
ly travel, except in search of fictions and
hypotheses which must end in delusior
and disappointment 1t is by such ra
tional faith, founded on the immovablt
basis of science, that he can be saved
from stolid unbelief and ignorant scepti

er;-which are indeed but offspring Q
: the empty rawlings and wild excursions c

Is in the act Of combining large masses c
