CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE.-1t is the
opinion entertained by both, professional men
and people generally that great and sudden
changes in temperature are unhealthy, but it
is the opinion Of Captain Hartsten that it is
not so. In his account of the Polar Sen Ex.
pedition, he says:
"Nature has qualified man to breathe an
atmosphere of one hundred and twenty de-.
grees above zero, or sixty below it, without
injury to health; and the doctrine of physi.
clans that great and sudden changes of tenn
perature are injuries to health, is dsproved
by recorded facts There are very few navi-
gators who die in the Arctic zone, it is the
most healthy climate on the globe to those
who breathe the open air. We have among
our associate observers one who observes and
records the changes of temperature in Aus.
tralia, where the temperature rose to one
hundred and fifteen degrees at two o'clock,
p. NJ. and next morning it was down TO forty
degrees-a change Of seventy five degrees in
fourteen hours; there the people are healthy;
and another at Franconia, N. H., where the
changes are the most sudden, the most fire.
quent, and Of the greatest extent of any place
with which am in correspondence on the
American continent; and yet there is no town
of its size that 50 great portion of its in.
habiiants pass the age of three score years
and ten. It is the quality of the changed all
that constitutes the difference that physicians
notice, and not the temperature"

RICH PuFF.-A manufacturer and vend.
er of quack medicines, recently wrote to a
friend of his living out west, for good
strong Recommendation of his the manufac.
turers "Balsam." 10 few days he received
the following which we call pretty "strong."
DEAR SIR.-The land composing my farm
has hitherto been so poor, that Sco,chnan
could not get his living off of it; and 50 stony
tina. we had TO slice our potatoes and plant
them edgeways, but hearing of your balsam,
put some on the corner of a ten mere lot
surrounded by a rail fence, and in the morn.
inc found the rock had entirely disappear
ed, neat stone wall encircled the field and
the rails were split into oven wood and piled
up symetrcally in my back yard.
Put half an ounce into the middle Of n
huckeIberry swamp-in two days it was
cleared off planted with corn and pumpkins,
and row of peach trees in full blossom
through the middle.
As an evidence of its tremendous strength
would say that il drew striking likeness
of my eldest daughter, drew my eldest son
out ofa mIpond, drew blister all over his
stomach-drew load of potatoes -four
miles to market and eventually drew prize
of 81 dollars in the Lottery.

The PROFITS OF THE SLAVE TRADE.-lt is
estimated that about forty vessels are engaged
in this country in the slave trade. These, it
is calculated, ship 600 negroes each from the
African coast, of whom 500 are landed at the
port Of destination. Allowing $4,000 for
each vessel for brokerage and commission
from the port whence she sails, $4,000 on
each vessel for wages for officers and men,
1916 head for The purchase of negroes on
the African coast, and $42 to secure the
landing of each negro at the port of delivery,
the whole cost would come up to $l,467,OO0.
Twenty thousand negroes, at $500 head,
would produce Sl0,o0O,Oo0, a clear profit of
$s,524, 900, or upon two voyages year, more
than Sl7,OOO,OOO.

R- Whether a people become learned
depel ds less on the number of their school
houses than on what they are taught. In
Tuscany, academies are more numerous than
they are in New York; but what do they
teach! That the King can do no wrong, and
that the Pope helps him. In Rome Geology
and Atheism are synonymous terms; while
Democracy is 50 surrounded with scare
crows, that Republican is supposed to be
first cousin to the King of Cut-throa's.-
When the teaching takes the wrong di
reciion, the more schools we have the more
Ignorant we become.

are not only quite prepared for such contln.

should exercise all his power. Whether this
policy will be extended to inferior places in
the same category, or include Others in di'-
ferent branches of the civil service, is no
known. When Presidents begin to turn out
they do not often stop at trif1es.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

This history ofthe self-styled Democratic
party of this country forms the greatest re-
proach to human nature to be found in the
annals of this age. 1t has never, in its
whole career, possessed any principles, save
those of the five oaves and two fishes; nev-
er exhibited any consistency, save in per-
sistent pursuit of the spoils of office.
Processing to be prominently democratic,
il has subjected its members to despotism
worse than that Of Louis Napoleon-a serf-
dom more degrading than that of Russia
an aristocracy more arbitrary and absolute
than that of ancient Venice. Protesting to
be par excellence the friend and advocate Of
the doctrine of economy in the administra-
ton of the government, it notoriously squan.
ders the public money amongst its parti-
sans, and allows its minions to plunder the
public Treasury and the public domain ad
lbitum and with perfect impunity. Profess
ing to be the peculiar friend Of the South, it
has by the passage of the insidious, iniquit-
Gus Nebraska act, destroyed the last hope Of
the South in the Territories. Protesting the
doctrine of Non Intervention in foreign af.
fairs, it yet, during Presidential canvass,
promises the acquisition of Cuba, "by hook
or BY crooks promise il takes care never
to fulfil when the time for fruition comes
Processing to be against all Banks, it has,
nevertheless, wherever it had the power,
chartered thousands of State Banks, and is
responsible for every monetary revulsion
that ever affected and desolated the country.
In different sections ii carries entirely diff
ferent colors and sets its sails to catch every
popular breeze that blows. Atth North, it
is for "Free Kansas" at the South, 1t is for
"Slave Kansas" At the North it is for
SQuatter Sovereignty; at the South it de-
nounces the doctrine ms most Infamous. At
the North, it is for Protective Tariff; at the
South, name "protection" to its members and
they are for esistance-revolution-
than submit to it. At the North, it is for the
improvement of Rivers and Har bors; at the
South, against it. At the North, it frowns
upon Walkers operations in Central America;
at the South, it lavishes upon the young he
ro its bandest smiles. At the North it is
enthusiastically in favor of preserving the
Union; at the South majority of its leaders
are continually plotting its downfall!
In short, the whole history of the Demo-
cratic party proves conclusively and beyond
the possibility Of contradiction, the truth of
Mr.. Calhoun's celebrated remark, that it was
"heldtogether alone by the cohesive power
of the public plunder." For this, and this
alone, its leaders struggle; for this, and this
alone they aatier the foreigners. corrupt the
ba'lot-box, bribe Congressman and other
legislators; and but for this the party would
die as dead as Hector in less than hun.
dred days.'-Memphis Eagle.
