The news of Humboldps decease has
been rapidly succeeded by intelligence OF
the demise of DR.. Lardner, one Of the
most popular lecturers and writers on
scientific subjects that ever lived, and who
was well known in this country. He was
native of Dublin. ireland, in which city
he was born in 1898. and was therefore
&c years Of age at his death, which occur
red on the 9Th of May, in Naples, where
he had been residing during the past two
years. His father had sufficient wealth
to give him good university education at
Trinity College, intending him for the
legal profession. His tastes, however, were
adverse to sporting in courts of law, and
so he devoted himself to scientific pursuits,
and with such success that be took sixteen
prizes, while student, for scientific es.
says. In 1917 he left Ireland and tool
up his abode in Cambridge, England
where he soon distinguished himself FOL
attachments in mathematics and natura
philosophy. He also acquired deserved
popularity as lecturer on scientific sub
jects BY happy faculty of perspicuoui
illustration; and at the same time. As al
author and a contributor to the Edihburgl
Encyclopedias, he established bis reputa
ton for general and correct information OF
astronomy and mechanics. AT 81 year
Of age he was appointed professor Of natu
Iral philosophy in the. London University
and for several years he was the mos
popular scientific parsonage in that city

and his career is a noble example OF a
long life well spent in severe physical
and mental toll, whereby the sphere OF
mans information has been greatly ex-
tended and enriched. His memory was
prodigious, his intellect active and acute,
and his taste exquisite and over every
thing which he wrote, he threw the
charm of genial disposition aud gen.
erous heart. For the past fifty years he
has been the Nestor of Science, and has
gone down to the grave bearing the es-
TEEN of all men, and "laden with wealth
and honors nobly won."
The remains Of Humboldt were carried
to the tomb in the Berlin Cathedral, on
the 10Th Of MAY. by an imposing crowd
of mourners. His funeral car was drawn
by six of the Kings horses /; his comm
was uncovered, and of plain oak. but
adorned with flowers and laurel placed
on it by the people. The students OF the
colleges walked. alongside of it in rows,
carrying green palm branches. The line
Of procession extended several miles in
length, and princes, mobiles and people
took part in the ceremonies.

gent man can hope to carry for him a
single free State.
The same general remarks may be APP
Piled to Mr.. COBB, of Georgia. He has
nothing in common with the best inter
ests of the Central Valley, and the labor
ing men of the nation. In his manage
ment of the finances of the country, as
Secretary of the Treasury under Mr.. Bu-
.chanan, he has not shown himself to be a
man of practical sagacity. His Pro-
slavery prejudices are decided.
Mr.. Fremont, it is possible, may again
be brought forward as a candidate, but we
think not. He is yet young, and can
asbrd to wait. He is now identified with
the gold mines of California, and the
Pacific slope is not yet fairly entitled to
the Presidency.
JOHN ]. CRITTENDEN has many warm
friends, and it is not improbable but that
his claims may be urged with vehe-
mence by PORTION of the Opposition. =
But we regard all efforts of the kind fu-
tile. We have very great respect for
the man. His high personal character
and eminent talents, with his long career
Of public service, have given him place
in the regards of every true American
citizen. But Mr.. Crittenden, from his
position, can not, or rather will not, step
forth and place himself upon the plat
form shat will command the assent of the
free masses of the country. He is a
Kentuckian. The people of Kentucky
for
nor and members of Congress. The
Louisville Journal and the candidate of
the Opposition for Governor, hesitate not
to ayow themselves in favor of slave
code for the Territories by act of Con-
gress. They have by this, forever cut
themselves off from all sympathy and
support from the free laboring men OF
the land. Mr.. Crittenden will be CON-
PEELED to assume the same ground, and
no man, standing upon it, can hope for a
vote in the free States. He is, therefore,
to all intents and purposes, out of the
question as candidate for 1860.
Gov. BANKS, of Massachusetts,, and
Senator FEssENDEN, of Maine, have also
been named in connection with the Presi'
dency. We do not regard it as probable
/ that either of them will be seriously
urged. They are gentlemen of higi
character and attainments. As Speake
of the House Of Representatives, Gov
Banks made favorable impression upor
the nation but in the present condition
of political affairs, there is general con
viction that New England is not the hes
adapted to concentrate the strength o
the friends of free labor, retrenchmen
and reform. The great Central Vale.
of the Mississippi must lead in this work
Every day but adds 10 the conviction o
this with all intelligent, liberal minds.
The Kansas herald of freedom. [volume] (Wakarusa, Kan. Territory) 1854-1860, 1859-07-09

In 1910 he came to the United States
under a compulsory visit, with the young
wife of British captain, and the affair
caused much public comment at the time.
Ia order to secure the means Of support
he commenced series OF popular scien
tific illustrated lectures in this city in 1S4l,
and afterwards repeated them in all our
large cities. They were very successful,
and were far superior to ANYTHING that had
been attempted among us before. We
can add our personal testimony to his
wonderful powers as q clear expositor OF
scientific subjects; he was perfectly atease
before the most imposing audience in dis
coursing on astronomy, electricity, or me-
chauics. These lectures were published
afterwards in our city, and We sometimes
refresh our memory of the lecturer by a
perusal of them. After residence of five
years in our country, he left for Europe
and took up his abode in Paris, where he
has almost constantly lived since, and
where he contributed to several British
periodicals and scientific works. He was
not very original thinker or writer, but
he was very clear and popular one.
His elementary works on astronomy
and the steam engine have been the
means of extending useful knowledge
among the millions, and thus he has left
a broad mark upon the age in which he
lived. This is especially true of his last
work, the "Museum of Science and Art,'
which contains a number of the best
treatises on various subjects ever pub
lished in any language. His work on
Railway Economy" is also a most useful
treatise on all that appertains to the gen.
eral management of railroads, and it has
done an immense amount of good in re-
gard to the information it contains on the
causes and remedies for railway accidents.
In this work he also describes the accom-
modations of American river steamboats,
over those of all other countries, and be
pays high compliment to the originality
and enterprise of our engineers. We
think his work did good in England in
regard to this very feature of American
goa head ativeness, for new projects
seem to meet with more favorable con-
sideration in Europe since it was pub
lished. Scientific american.

DR.. BAILEY, the we'll known Editor of the
National Era at Washington, died on

on board an invalid, and was hoping that
relief from toll and change of scene
would restore the strength and vigor which
the incessant and strenuous labors of his
profession had greatly impaired. | had

his labors had induced, had combined to

a Song Of Earth
BY Lucy LARCoM.

Oh. call the earth a sacred place,
Forever where we turn we trace
A loving fathers hand,
A hand in benedictiOn laid
Upon the humblest thing he made
When this bright world was planned.
Oh. call the earth hallowed place,
Her hill sides flow with rils Of grace.
The footsteps OF our Lord
Are lingering yet beside her streams,
And still through earth his own light bean
To guide TO Loves reward.
Oh. call the earth blessed place,
for here they ran their heavenward race,
Uurtnved ones gone before;
And still their saintly memories stay
Tg .alk with US the thOrny way
Unto the thornlcss shore.
Oh, call the earth a happy place,
For only sin Insight can chase,
And turn its bliss % pain;
Blame self and sin, but not the earth,
countless woes that here have birth,
And here like tyrants reign.
Oh, call the earth aglorious place.
To souls that live in his embrace,
Who light and life hath given:
Call it a school for angel youth
A conquering battle ground for truth
highway into heaven.
