The Death Of Charles XIT.-A let
ter from Stockholm of 9th September.
says By permission of the King,
and on demand of M. Fryxell, the his
torian, the tomb of Charles XII. in
the church of Riddarholm, has
been opened in order to ascertain ex-
actIy in what manner the Swedish
hero died. The King, Prince Oscar,
the ministers. Professor Fryxell,
three physicians and some other per.
sons, were present. The medical
men examined the body, and the re-
suit at which they arrived was that
the King must have been struck by
the fragment of a projectile in the left
temple, and that it came out at the
right ore. AS at the moment he was
killed the King had his left side turn
ed away from the fortress of Freder-
icksteen. there is some reason to sup
pose that he was fired at by one Of
his own men, and assassinated

Pretty Fair for an Opponent
The Vindicator. a Democratic paper

fellow-citizen, the Hon. Alexander

the candidate of tie Opposition in the
coming Presidential canvass, and we
are sure that wherever he is known,
his friends land their name is legion
Irrespective of party, would be happy to
see him receive this high compliment
at the hands of his political associates.
Mr.. Stuart is no novice in politics and
craftsmanship. For years he repre-
sented this District in Congress with
such energy and ability as to gain
him the applause Of his associates, a
place among the first orators OF the
country, and the gratitude of his con-
stituents /; and as member OF Mr..
Fillmore's Cabinet he filledthat high
and responsible position with . dis
tinguished ability unsurpassed by
any Of his predecessors. As an ora
tor and a gentleman, Mr.. Stuart has
few equals and no superiors among
his political friends, and we can as,
sure the Opposition that they can find
no nobler sacrifice to offer up at the
shrine of the party which already

The NEW SENAToR.-The question
is often asked in our hearing, of what
use will Judge Haun be in the SEN

men, be not too inquisitiYe and save

holes in the side of ship relieve a
blankness that would otherwise be

How To BE HANDSOME IF the
young ladies knew how much their
habits of life have to do with their
beauty of form and feature, they
would venture to set aside some of
the customs of fashionable life to se>
cure so desirable an end. 1t is per-
fectly natural for all women to be
beautiful. If they are not so, the
fault lies in their birth, or training,
or in both. We would therefore re-
spectfully remind mothers that in Po-
land, period of childhood is recog-
nized. Their, girls do not jump from
infancy to young ladyhood. They
are not sent from the cradle directly
to the parlor, to dress, sit still, and
look pretty. During childhood
which extends through period Of
several years, they are plainly and
loosely dressed, and allo wed to run,
romp, and play in the open air.
They are not loaded down, girded
about, and oppressed every way with
countless frills and superabundant
t1ounces, SO as to be admired for their
much clothing. Plain simple food,
free and various exercises, abundant
sunshine, and good moral culture du-
ring the whole period Of childhood,
are the secrets Of beauty in after life.

The Distance of The Sun Increa,,

The Distance Of the Sun Increas-
ing. A German has given the
calculations to prove that the dis
tance between the earth and the sun
is annually increasing, and attributes
to this fact the Increasing humidity
of our summers, and the loss cf fertil-
ity in the soil Of the formerly most
favored regions of the earth. The
vegetable and animal remains found
even in the recent strata within the
Arctic circle show that degree Of
heat formerly prevailed there which
equaled that Of the equatorial regions
at the present time, and although
many ingenious theories have been
started to account for this desolation
of a once sunny region, none seems
so rational as the very obvious one OF
gradual withdrawal of the great
source of light and heat. Egyptians,
Chinese and other Dations, have trae
ditions that at a very early period of
their history the apparent diameter of
the SUN was double what it now is,
and according to the tables Of the
German savant, in the course Of 5000
years more the disc of that luminary
will have diminished SO that we shall
receive but one-eighth part Of the So
lar influence which we at present en-
joy. the whole earth being covered
with eternal ice.
1t is now admitted BY the most orr
thodox school of science that the earth
andother planets were thrown Of from
the sun, SO that our globe has confess
edly travelled already one hundred
millions of miles from its birthplace,
and no absurdity exists in the suppo-
sition that it has not ceased receding,
though at constantly diminishing
rate, which may or may not reach the
D point before it arrives at such dis
tance as to be uninhabitable, when
following the analogy Of all other
known perturbations and excentrities
among the different bodies Of the uni
verse, it will undoubtedly retrace its
steps, to point much nearer than
any it has occupied during the historic
period, and so move back and forth
like mighty pendulum forever.

ages at each beat. Or psrchance
having run its course it will fall back

Ceolerical Survey of the State.

For want Of q better subject the
press is moving to some extent for
geological survey of the State. We
have the same opinion we have hith-
r erto given touching the proposition.
A. thorough scientific survey by a
competent geologist would enlarge
The boundaries of scientific knowledge
ahd be worth to the world if not to
the State, all that it would cost. 1t
may well be questioned. if, as a mat
ter of dollars and cents, an explora-
tion of eur territory by geologist
would pay, even by the most eminent
one living. But States should not be
governed always by money consid-
erations. A government but lily full
fills its highest objects, which does
not assist to increase the sum of hu-
man knowledge and consequently,
human happiness. Governments
are instituted for the benefit of the
governed"-says the Declaration of
Independence. No one will presume
to debate the question. which is the
greater benefit. cents in the pocket
or sense in the head.
We would emphatically favor q
geological survey of the State by a
competent person we're we satisfied
not dollar Of the expense would ev-
er be returned in money. 1t is due
TO science. perhaps, that the survey
i. be made. But what is the prospect
of obtaining the services of first rate
geologisti No other do we want or
should have. We must confess the
chances of securing the services of
the needed savan are few and rare.
Select the man, and If of known COM
potency, or can be proven SO, We are
decidedly and enthusiastically in fa-
vor of his employment. But, leave
him to the choice of the Legislature 7
or the Governor l-never. Why,
the political functionaries of the State
perhaps, we may say, the Union
are but slaves of party. and fear the
lashing of the party press. Is not the
democratic press to-day in paroxysms
because of the appointment of Re-
publican-a qualified person and a
gentlemen. none will deny-to act
with tive Democrats as a House of
Refuge commissioners : Nay, loco
foco editors growl and gnash their
teeth if by rare accident an opponent
obtains the appointment of Notary
Public, whose gross receipts for a
year would not in the hour and aIti-
ticle of death save him from burial at
public expense,
While this party servitude remains
the hope of services. valuable and
commensurate with the pay, is slight.
Give the selection of men to the Gov
ernor, and ten to one that Col. Z. j.
Lewis Esq. or some other noodle is
& chosen. Let the Legislature assume
authority, and merit which is always
modest. will be overlooked for the
claims Of some brazen bull of the par
ty whose ignorance of the duties re-
quired of him. is only exceeded by
his impudenee.

Mr.. Crow in Church.-Several
years since on warm Sabbath
morning, while the Rev. D. B,
of well-known fishing town in Mas
sachusetts, was holding forth tame
crow, which had been taught to utter
one expression only, and that wick
ed one, flew into the church, and
alighting on the pulpit, saluted the
minister with "G-d d-n ye;''
whereupon. the frightened as we'll as
horror stricken parson "drew off" and
gave the gentleman in black" win
der that sent him to the floor. Moth
ing daunted by this, however, the
crow was soon On his "pegs," and
looking up at the reverend gentle
man repeated his salutation with such
an emphasis that he took to his heels,
and together with his congregation
who were as much frightened as
their minister-scampered from the
sacred edifice in double quick time.
One little old woman, whose seat was
in a corner, did not see fit to follow
the example of the shepherd or his
flock, but firmly kept her positions:
upon seeing which, the crow advance
cd to her, and hopping on to the seat
in front of her, again gave vent to
his favorite expression. The old
woman, not little astonished at his
impudence, and evidently taking him
fol- an evil spirit in the form of bird,
yelled forth at him; Cd d-n you
tool What you Cd d-n me for?
Il don't belong to the church,"
And giving him a wipe with her
umbrella, she cleared the coast, leav-
ing the church to silence and the
crow.

The BEST Soil FOR GRAPE VINES.
The Report fthe State Fair contains
highly interesting article by Col.
Harazthy. whose experience in grape
culture in Hungary as well as in Cal
ifornia entities him to the position of a
good authority in such matters. He
says:
"When the planter resolves to
plant vineyard, ,lle should determine
whether be is planting to produce
grapes for wine or for the market. If
for the former he must look for soil
which is made by volcanic errup-
tions, containing red clay and soft
rocks, which will decay by exposure
to the air. The more magnesia, lime
or chalk, the soil contains, SO much
the better. This kind of soil never
cracks, and keeps the moisture dur
ing the summer admirably. Such
soil will produce wine that will keep
good for fifty or one hundred years,
and improve annually, is not liable to
get sour, or. when exposed to the air
after one year old, to get turbid and
change color. in the bottle or glass.
"If such soil cannot be got on the
ground desired to be laid out for a
vineyard. the second best may be Ia
ken, which is shell-mold. There are
many localities in this State, even IS
high as the mountain tops. where
acres Of land consist of decayed
shells. Such soil will give q good
wine in great abundance.
"The next best to the above soil, is
a gravelly clay, slightly mixed with
sand, so that it will not crack. If it
cannot be red color, dark black but
avoid gray clay, which bakes IN sam-
msr. as s Ks Fl
"The last Of a11 which may be used
for the production Of wine is light,
sandy, gravelly soil. This will give
an abundance of wine. but it will not
keep for any length of time. twill
soon change color and become sour
when exposed to the air, and the only
mode of keeping this kind of wine
for years is by adding brandy or al
cohol to it, which of course deprives
it of its purity and makes the same
injurious to the health of the consum-
mer. The soil described above are
recommended for producing wine as
above stated.but for producing mark
etable table grapes the planter
should select piece of ground which
is a rich black grave1y or sandy
loan. exceedingly mellow, as most Of
the alluvials are; and if well-rotted
manure from sheep or cattle corrals
can be obtained. it will pay well to
haul it ON the ground. To be prepa.
pared for the grape vines it should be
moderately moist, though not too
much.
"In this State deserted Indian vii
lagos are often found. In such places
the soil is exceedingly rich. A buck
ct full of it in the hole of vine, viii
assonish the planter by its effect
Such soil as just now described, either
made by nature or artifcially, will
fproduce magnificent bunces of grapes
with large berries, in immense guam
titles, which,. of course, will please
the eye and palate. as the bulb ol
skin is thin. and consequently tht
best for table use.

What a Brick" is-The use Of
the term "brick" as applied to good
fellows, probably originated from a
classic story related in Plutarch,
where Agesilaus, the Lacademonian
king, said. "There are the walls Of

all at once you begin to sneeze vo-
ciferously, and the eager crowd be-
gin to laugh and hurrah. Showing
you further along, the chief men and
bottle washers grab you by the nose,

rip every bit of dry goods from your
person, and again the crowd roars
with tumultuous laughter at your
