THE DURATION OF MANS LIFE.
-. A NeU Idea.

work has recently been published by NJ Flou-
rens, the celebrated French Psychologist, in which
he asserts that the natural length of 4 mans life
is five times long as the period of growth, and
assuming that the latter is twenty years. concludes
that the destined pilgrimage of man On earth is
one hundred years.
From his own observations, and facts derived
from the observations Of Button, and from natural
history, he believes that the proportionate length
Of life in animals to their periods Of growth is
tablshed and now claims to have discovered the
peculiar physical change in the system Of both
animals and men which indicates the complexion
CT growth. at consists" says NJ. Flourens, SIN
the union of the bones to the epiphyses. As long
the bones arc not united to their epiphyses, the ami
NAL grows. In man the effect takes place at
twenty, and consequently the durations of man s
life is five times twenty. 1t is fifteen years since
commenced researches into the physiological law
of the duration of lfe both in man and in some Of
our domestic animals and have arrived at the re-
suit that the normal duration of mans life is one
century. Yes, conturV's life is what Providence
meant to give US.
NJ. Flourens brings some striking and interest
ing facts forward to prove the truth of this theory
as applied to domestic animals. and claims that it
has an cxemplifcation in the relative duration OF
growth and life in the camel, horse, OK, dog, and
other domestic animals. In dividing the several
periods of mans life, NJ. Fourens prolongs the
duration Of infancy up to ten years. because 1t IS
from nine to that second dentition terminates;
adolescence up to twenty, because it is at that age
the development Of the bones ceases; Of youth, up
to the age Of forty, because it is only at that age
that the increase of the body in bulk terminates.
After forty" he says, 1.-THE body does not grow,
properly speaking; the augmentation OF its volume
which then takes place is not veritable organic de-
velopment but simple accumulation of fat. At
ter the growth, or, exactly speaking, the de-
velopment in length and bulk has terminated, man
enters into what may be termed the period Of in
vigoraton-that is when all his parts become more
complete and firm, and the whole organism more
perfect. This period last to sixty-ivc OF seventy
years, and then begins old age, which lasts for
thirty years"
Although we cannot entirely agree with the theo-
~ of VI. Flourens, that with corrected manners,
passions, and habits, the life Of man can be pro-
lonecd to the heightened period he mentions, we
yet think that with the good conduct he recon-
mends, moderate labor study, and systematic
course Of living, it may not only he extended. but

The fine weather we have had tor some time past
has enabled the farmers to secure their wheat in a
dry condition, so that it will be ready to grind
soon as threshed. Rye and oats arc abundant,
while corn, all through the West, is described as
late, and its yield will depend much upon late
early frost. Potatoes promise to be unusually
plenty and cheap while the hay crop was never
before so large as this season. On the whole
taking the different sections together there will be
an abundance of produce Of all kinds, and thus,
with peace and plenty it will be strange indeed

MAJOR NCCJLLoUGH's VIEWS OF MORMON
AFFAIRs.-Major Mccullough, one Of the Com
missionels upon the part Of the United States Gov
crnmcnt to negotiate with the MoEmons in Utah
passed through this city yesterday, on his way
East, and honored US with cal! at the office Of the
Enquirer. The Major was in the enjoyment Of
excellent health, and came through from Salt Lake
City to Leavcnwerth (Kansas) in thirty three
days, by overland journey across the plains
The Major has confidence in the rcrpetuity of
the peace made with the Mormors, unless the
Government keeps at Salt Lake City a strong mill
tary force-say from l 800 to 1900 men. In re-
gard to the population of the Mormons, the Major
estimates it at about 10000. They could bring
into the field about 1000 fighting men, of whom
some 100 are excellent troops and efficient noun
taineers. The Major stated, in the course Of con-
versation, that he advised Brigham Young, if he
desired to found great state and hierarchy, to
pull up his stakes and remove to some other coun-
try. The Prophet afterward declared that he al
lowed to advise him-to stand between
him and God, from whom alone he took lis coun-
sells. 1t is Major McCulIoughs decided opinion
that the United States should maintain there very
strong military government, for the Mormons have
no love for our institutions and can only be kept
in subsection By coelcive measures. 70 effect that
