SCIENTIFIC EXpLoRATIoN.-Se
scientific gentlemen, among whom are
Prof. Francis of Iowa, and Prof. N. E.
Moore, late President of the Iowa State
Lyceum of Natural History, have gone
to South America to make a thorough
exploration of the fauna, fora and geo.
logical character of the great Andes
range. The expedition was projected
in Iowa, and though no State aid is
given, many of her public men give it
their encouragement and support. The
results Of their explorations in regions
but little known as yet, will possess
great interest for the scientific world,
and valuable practicable benefits may
arise from their labors.

M. GODDARD and lady, aeronauts,
lately took up three gentlemen with
them in their balloon from Philadelphia
at 4l P. NJ, to the height of $4,000 feet.
In little more than half an hour the
party descended near Chester, and be-
come the guests at supperof Mr. FELTON,,
President of the Phiadeiphia, Whining
ton and Baltimore Railroad; formerly
of the Fitchburg road-leaving the bal
loon tied down. After supper the bal
loon had lost so much buoyancy by the
night air, that two of the passengers re-
mained, while the rest of the party went
up and on, riding aloft by moonlight, till
they came over Wilmington, where they
descended and shook hands with some
of the inhabitants. They again as
cended, and landed about ten o'clock at
Northeast, Cecil county, Nd, having
travelled sixty miles, and stopped two
and half hours for refreshments.

INDIAN SUMMER OF LIFE.-In the
life of the good man there is an Indian
summer more beautiful than that of the
seasons-richer, SUMMER and more sub
lime than the most glorious Indian sum-
mer the world ever knew; it is the
Indian summer of the soul When the
glow of youth has departed, when the
warmth of middle age is gone, and the
buds and blossoms of spring are chang
ing to the sere and yellow leaf, then
the mind of the good man, still ripe and
vigorous, relaxes its labors, and the
memories of a well spent life gush forth
from their secret fountains, enriching,
rejoicing and fertilizing then the trust
full resignation of the Christian sheds
around a sweet and holy warmth, and
the soul, assuming heavenly lustre, is
no longer restricted to the narrow con.
fines of business, but scars far beyond
the winter of hoary age, and dwells
peacefully and happily upon that bright
spring and summer that await him within
the gates Of Paradise evermore. Let
strive for and look trustingly forward to
an Indian summer like this.

The RACES OF MEN.-Dr. Charles

GLASS HOUSES AND THROWING
SToNEs.-In the reign of James l, the
Scotch adventurers who came over with
that monarch were greatly annoyed by
persons breaking the windows of their
houses; and among the instigators was
Buckingham, The Court favorite, who
lived in a large house in ST. Martin S
Fields, which from its great number of
windows, was termed the "glass house."
Now, the Scotchmen, in retaliation,
broke the windows of Buclingham's
mansion. The courtier complained to
the King, to whom the Scotch had pre-
viously applied; and the monarch re-
piled to Buckingham, "Those who live
in glass houses, Stenie, should be care
full how they throw stones;" whence
arose the common saying.

VISIT TO Mrs. JAMES X. POLKA
number of military companies in Nash
vile, Tenn, visited few days ago the
residence of the estimable relict of the
late President, James K. Polk. The
Union, of that city, says, The eompa-
nies approached the grounds by the main
entrance on Church street, and filed
through the yard, with marked precision
and decorum, paying their respects and
passing out in the same order in which
they entered. Such manifestations of
respect were no less appropriate ON the
part of the military, than they were
gratifying to the distinguished lady.

BRILLIANT TO THE LAsT.-A gentle
man writing from Paris states that NJ
Place, the French banker who recently
failed for the immense amonnt of 16,0OO,-
600 francs, gave, on the evening before
the grand catastrophe, splendid din
ner, to which were invited all the cele-
brities of certain grade upon the
Bourse, together with an equal number
of ladies. The feast was of the most
recherche" kind-the cost probably
not being less than S25 head, and the
buoyant spirits of the liberal hosts were
the theme of general admiration. When
the enthusiasm was at its height, a mag
niticent dessert was placed upon the
table, having in the centre vase of
silver gilt, which Mons. Place ordered
the waiter to pass around to the ladies,
as it contained a few nuts for their
especial cracking Every lady then
plunged her hand within the vase and
drew forth whatever chance bestowed,
in the shape of some rare jewel, the
cheapest IF which could not have been
worth less than $50, while some OF Il =: em m
were of great price. After this delight
full ceremony the generous host took his
leave, amid the reiterated applause of
his guests. The next day his house was
silent and deserted, and defalcation of
sixteen millions was announced before
the tribunals of commerce.

A SAD ScENE.--The Buffalo Express
says:--The office of the Southern Michi-
gan steamers, in this city, was yesterday
the theatre of a scene well calculated to
move the most obdurate heart. Two
Young men from Michigan came there
in search of their father. 1t appears
that he left home some time last sum-
mer, to visit friends in this State. His
sons were to follow him this fall. make
visit, and return with him to Michigan.
Pursuant to arrangements, they left
home a few days since, and passed
eastward through this city. On reach
ing their destination, they learned, much
to their surprise, that their father had
left some time since to return home
The painful fear at once flashed across
their minds that he might have been on
board the Inflated steamer Northern
Indiana, as the time of his leaving to
return was about the time of that sad
occurrence. They returned to this city,
and at once visited the office of Captain
Forbes, where. the papers relating to
the lost on the Northern Indiana are
kept. They soon found, in the proceed
ings of the Coroner at Detroit, perfect
description of their father, among those
who were lost and their bodies recovered.
The sad reality of his loss was then
forced upon them, and they at once
bowed their manhood, and wept like
children, at the bereavement The
stoutest heart could not resist the pain
full influence of the scene, and more
than one sympathizing tear was dashed
aside from stranger cheeks.
