believe that something Of the kind would
be very useful in Lewisburg, and having

workings of such institutions, and init.

for information on the subject.

INSTRUCTION S KANsAs-We published In
yesterdays HERALD the proclamation Issued on
the 18th instant by Governor Walker, OF Kansas
to the people Of the city Of Lawrence, on the
subject of the insuTectionary movement naugu-
rated by them. Our telegraphic dispatches, also
published yesterday, announced the fact that the
Governor had entered the city Of Lawrence on
the 18th with a force Of eight companies of
dragons. and that he was determined to enforce
The Territorial laws and put down all rebellious
proceedings IL was added that the people of
Lawrence were determined TO pay no attention to
the Governor, aud would not negotiate with him
Nevertheless, We do not entertain the belief that
they will resist the arguments addressed to them
in the proclamation, or that they will attempt to
carry out their inpuuectionary plan, in spite Of
the troops which the Governor has at command.
II, however, rash and iniudicous men like Lane
should induce the people Of Lawrence to persist
in their course The consequences would be de-
plorable, ss cooaict between the citizens and
The military there would renew the flames of civil
war and scatter them throughout the whole
Territory.

saw with indifference the excited mob attack and
demo'ish factory for no other reason than be-
cause two Metropolitan policemen had taken re-
fuge within it. In reference to that riot, and to
the conduct Of the police on the occasion, the YER
dicts of the Coroner's jury are pretty conclusive
Tfere were two verdicts rendered by the jury
empannelled to investigate the cause of death of
Miller, the German who was shot in the riot
That OF the majority is, that Miller came to his
death at the hands of one of the Metropolitan
police, and that the police acted under great ex
element and committed acts of criminal violence
The verdict of the minority is, that Miller came
to bis death at the hands of some person un-
known. and that the police were somewhat hasy
in the execution of their duties In both verdicts
the conduct of the police is censured.
Ard yet that disgaceful affair of the Seven
teenth ward was but mere indication of the dis
order and anarchy into which this metropolis
was being plunged, and from which there would
have been no escape had the organization of
the police system been completed by the Board
as originally constituted. But fortunately Mr..
Draper became disguised with the ncompetency
of his associates, and resigned and the Mayors
of New York and Brooklyn coming in at that
favorable juucture to take their seats as er-ocio
Commissioners. the black republican poison is
in a fair way of being neutralzed- We hope that
one or two more of the republicans will follow
Mr.. Diapers example and make way for more
competent and efficient men. If not, we expect
that the democratic and American members will
stand their ground firmly, and not yield an inch
to the partisan movements of their associates.

THs WoSbERs OF THE CREATRD UHI
SxRsE,-What mere assertion will make
any one believe that in one second o.
lime, in one beat Of the pendulum of a
clock, q ray Of light travels over .l92, 900
miles, and would therefore perform the
tour Of the world in about the same time
that il requires to wink with our eyelids,
and in much less than swift runner oc'
eupies in taking single stride +? What
mortal can be made 10 believe without
demonstration that the sun is almost
million times larger than the earth ana
that although so remote from us that a
cannon. ball shot directly towards it, and
maintaining its full speed, would
be twenty years in reaching it, yet
h affects the earth by its attraction in
an inappreciable instant Of time! Who
would not ask for demonstration, when
told that gnats wing, in its ordinary
flight, beats many hundred times in
second or that there exist animated and
regularly organized beings, many thOus-
ands Of whose bodies, laid close together,
would not extend an inch! But what
are these to the astonishing truths which
modern optical inquiries have disclosed,
which teach us that every point of me-
dium through which ray of light passes,
is affected with succession of periodical
movements, regularly recurring at equal
intervals, no less than FIVE hundred mil.
lions of millions of times in single Sec
ond That il is by such movements
communicated 10 the nerves OF our eyes
that we see hay more, that 1T is the
difference in the frequency Of their recur-
renee which affects us with the sense Of
the diversity Of color. That for instance,
in acquiring the sensation Of redness, our
ewes are affected four hundred and eigh-
ty.lwo milllons-of millions of times of
yellowness, five hundred and fortytwO
millions of millions of times ; and OF vio'
let seven hundred and seven millions of
millions of times per second! Do not
such things sound more like the rawlings
Of mad-men than the sober conclusions
Of people in their waking senses? They
are, nevertheless, conclusions to which
aay one may most certainly arrive, who
will only be at the trouble of examining
the chain of reasoning by which they
have been obtained.-N. Y, Ledger
