CHAs. MAcKAY.-ThoSe who saw this distin-
guished gentleman at the Mcclure House onlast
Sunday, will realize the following extract from
the Cincinnati Commercial.
Mr.. Mackay's countenance, in fact, his whole
presence, is strikingly English. His nativity
could not possibly be mistaken. He is the per-
sonihcation of the quiet, reserved, and composed
English mid6le.aged gentleman of refinement
and cultivation, and his features are strongly
indicative of that intellectually for which he is
distinguished. In stature, he is rather under
than above medium, and his figure is spare,
though well fashioned: His complexion is de-.
cidedly horid, face unbewhiskered, and rather
tending to double.chinedness; nose Straight;
forehead rounding on the temples, broad, high,
smooth and compact; eye of greyish blue col
or, which are large, prominent, and possessing
great powerof expression. His eyebrows are
decidedly arched, and tolerably heavy; his hair
brown, and worn rather long, and his dress that
of gentleman.
In speaking, his manner is perfectly easy and
selfpossessed, and he delivers himself without
other gestures than an almost imperceptible and
loose movement of his right hand, He speaks
slowly; and with subdued earneStnesS thatim-
presses and wins the attention of his auditors
and his voice, though grave and sonorous is
firm, penetrating, aud so musical, especially in
recitiug verse, that you listen to him with most
agreeable sympathy. His audience last night
heard him with intense pleasure, and were graft
lied with the announcements that he will appear
again in the same Hall, on Friday night.

Brain and Body.

The daughter of Boston merchant, who
applied herself night and day to study. to
obtain medal at the late school exhibitions,
and succeeded, has been ever since In state
bordering on insanity in consequence of
everlasting the brain, and there is little pros
pect of her recovery. If her brain could
have been maintained in separate estab
hshment, and worked upon independent vo-
lition. probably such a disaster would never
have occurred. But as things are eonsti-
tuted, it will not do to forget the connection
which exists between mind and body, facui-
ties and muscles, brain and nerves, The.
system which is deprived of needed physi-
cal recreation. must break down. It is the
hight of folly to suppose that we can ignore
the demands of Nature in any respect,
without paying the penalty 1t is curious
to see the connection between mental and
physical faculties. The idea that a man can
only get the dyspepsia from high seasoned
provender put upon the stomach, is absurd.
He is just as likely to secure that luxury
by stufing his head with Greek and Latin,
algebra and geometry, in undue proportions,
and at improper hours. The shaky, rat
Ting, disordered, jaundiced, bilious and
bloodless systems that go fitting by like
ghosts upon every thoroughfare. are stand
ing commentaries upon the false ideas of the
day in this respect. It is popularity of
this age, that two-thirds of its living skele-
tons are epitomes of theoretical knowledge
upon almost every subject under the sun.
This is not invariably the case; but it is
the general rule. The exceptions. prove
that a person can be something more than
Ounce, without being something less than
a man or woman, and that with proper
management, it is possible to secure the
most valuable mental acquisitions without
sacrificing in their pursuit physical capaci-
ties, and becoming an especial candidate for
mad-house or consumption hospital

Stirring M the Past.

The Pro-Slavery Democracy, during the
campaign just past, growled considerably
because the Free State men, and more par
ticularly Mr.. Larzelere, brought up the past
acts of the Pro- -Slsyeryiles against them.
We do not wonder that the past is an ex-
ceedingly disagreeable subject 20 them.--
Well may they endeayor to have it forgot
ten; for the past has curses which viii for
ever stick to them. We say. stir up the
past. Keep it fresh in the memory. how
the Pro7Slayery Democracy. prosecuted,
robbed, aye, murdered, Free State men,, for
opinions sake Remind them that what
was done once will be done again, if that
party get into power. Remind this abused
people that they have a fearful account to
settle with the Pro-Slavery Democracy
which,. account viii be closed only when
Democracy is wiped into oblivion. Keep
up the memories of the past, and show the
people how Pro-Slayeryism is again attempt
ing to put its iron heel upon their neeks,
under the garb of Conservative Democracy,
humbling itself in the dust, and asking that
the past may be forgotten, and they be
again reinstated in the confidence of the
people. Yea, open fresh the memories of
the past; for verify many persons are per-
mitting themselves to be duped by this hyp-
ocritieal Democracy. Some men will not
learn wisdom until the wrongs of the past
are repeated upon, them ten fold. The

The District Courts presided over by
Presidential appointssss ara but Inauisii;ons
for the repression Of justice. No honest
man ever submitted czss to the decision
of Leeompts or Cato. feeling reasonable
assurance that he would receive justice.
These men are responsible to nobody but
a yillainous President, whose wishes ara
in direct contravention of those of the peo-
pie. Judges, above ali should be strictly
and directly accountable, to the people
whom they are to serve, and should be men
Iof=unimpeachabie honesty and integrity.
Another important consideration we may
mention in this connection. The District
Court having decided that the Probate
Courts have no jurisdiction except in mat
ters pertaining to the settlement of the es-
tates of deceased persons, the only avenue
for the redress of wrongs is through the
District Court itself, which holds but two
sessions in each year. This practically re-
moves from the people all legal means of
redress, for the courts are so far removed,
and the expenses Of litigation in them so
great that almost any person would submit
to lose one or two hundred dollars uniustly,
rather than incur the expense of carrying
it before such courts. ssgsa .6[.
These are the considerations which affect
the people most vitality. and should receive
their careful deliberation and Judgment
They are separate and distinct from any
questions of mere political expedieney-
They affect vitality the material, moral and
social interests of the whole people
The Democracy have undoubtedly eve
rything to gain by continuance of the
Territorial form of government. 1t is a
consideration of no little moment, affecting
the interests of all the other Territories,
whether Kansas shall have two voices for
Freedom and Right in the Senate of the
United States, now or FIVE years from now
But the questions which appeal more di-
reetly to the people are not connected with
this, and we do not press its consideration.
What we ask is that they should take the
facts of the case and draw their own con-
illusions. We are perfectly willing to sub
init them to their judgment.

# MAMMOTH REMAINS IN ULSTER COUNTY,
While some werkmen were digging in a
marsh on the land of Mr.. John McElhone,
in EllenVille, Ulster County, New York,
they discovered several huge bones. One
is portion of a bone, the others are
evidently portions of leg or thigh bones.-
They are all much decayed, having appar-
emily been under the soft mud for ages In
the. jaw is q mammoth tooth, in state of
almost perfect preservation. 1t is the tooth
of graminiverous animal, and measures
seven inches in length and three in width.
These bones are undoubtedly those of a
mastodon of the largest size. Such bones
are usually found in places Ike this. Those
here discovered are said to be Eve or six
times larger than the. corresponding bones
of any living animal, and are in. conforma-
ton unlike them. -
