LACTATIoN IN THE HUAAN RACE.-In
vigorous women the secretion of milk is CO.
pious. The amount ordinarily furnished by
a good nurse is from one and a half to two
quarts daily, or from four to five pou nds ;
but cases often occur in which two children
receive abundant supplies from one mother,
involving a secretion of eight pounds at
least An infant three months old, will
take from forty-eight to sixty-four fluid
ounces daily, 10 six or eight halfpint doses.
During the first year, therefore, he will take
from one thousand TO thirteen hundred
pounds. In one thousand pounds of milk
there are twenty-six ounces Of salts, of
which nine ounces are phosphate of lime.
In thirteen hundred pounds of milk the salts
amount to thirty-three and half ounces,
of which twelve ounces are phosphate of
lime. 1t thus appears that, during the
FIRST year. the child receives from one hun
dred and ten to one hundred and forty-three
pounds of dry solids, He may thus readi-
ly gain fifteen or twenty pounds in weight
implying less than three pounds of dry
solids-and yet have large residue, from
one hundred and seven to one hundred and
forty pounds, to be expended in the produc-
tlon Of heat, aud 10 the activity Of an en-
ergetic vitality. A child thus nourished can
make teeth and bone without difficulty.

re- The editor of the St. Louis News
has been to Washington, and is perfectly
shocked at the fraternity that exists among
the members of Congress- Democrats,
Americans, and black republicans are on
the most friendly terms, and are often seen
with their arms around each others necks
as a lot of school girls" Judging by their
ferocious speeches, he expected to see them
scowling at each other, with their hands
full of pistols and bowie knives, just ready
to rush into mortal conflict. If anybody
is losing sleep on account of anxiety about
the Union, sure cure for this form of
hystera is to spend two or three days at
Washington, watching the conduct of the
members of Congress.

B9~ Since the death of DR.. William r.
Palmer, who was arrested some time since
at Memphis, Tenn, on suspicion of being
an accomplice of John Brown, it comes
out that Palmer himself was the victim of
a conspiracy. He had married southern
lady Of considerable property, and the ac-
cusation of abolitionism against him was Il
device Of her relatives to get rid of him.
The letter found in Palmer's possession,
purporting to come from Thatcher, an
agent Of Brown, is pronounced forgery.
Palmer died of consumption his death be-
ing FASTENED by the persecution to which
he was subjected. The southern exaspera-
tion against aboitonists furnishes an easy
and safe means by which private malice
may accomplish its ends, and it is very like
ly that much of the persecution now going
on has this motive.

THR RUSSIAN SERFs--The mobiles Of Russia
have pretty much withdrawn their opposition
10 The emancipation Of the serfs finding that
the emperor is immovable in his purpose TO- ae-
cOmplish the great social revoluton. Proprie'
tors are anticipating the work Of general eman-
cipatiou, and enter into a voluntary contract
with their serfs, by which they give them their
homes and a third part of the soil For the
use Of the balance they may either pay a certain
rate Of interest, or work upon It for fixed wages.
The plans that shall be resorted to in Russia
to transform the serfs by a gradual and peace
able process to land owners and free laborers
will furnish valuable hints to our southern plant
ers, when they shall be convinced that free la
boris the most economical and productive sys-
tenn. 1t will not be many years, we trust be-
fore plans for free labor at the South will be as
earnestly agitOted as are now the schemes for
reviving the slave trade aud strengthening the
institution of slavery.

A DisgracefuI seene.

Congress, by its violent and improper con-
duct is daily bringing pew and still deeper dis
grace upon the name and fame of this nation.
On Thursday last week, the House and Repre-
sentatives became the theatre of performance
which must i the land with disgust and alarm.
The scene as depicted by eye-witnesses. was ex-
cited, tumultuous, disgraceful, The storm was
raised, as are all Congressional hurricanes, by
some trivial cause which of itself is scarcely
worthy Of note, but which, when brought in
coRtact with the inflated condition of many Of
its members, results in a windy exhibition.
1t is gratifying to know that no Republican
has in any degree contributed, by improper con-
duct, to the scenes of confusion which mark
and disgrace Congress. Every fiery occasion
has been the result of some Democratic dis
cIssion, while the Republicans have stood or
eat quiet listeners. The scene on Thursday
arose during discussion touching the Sunday
coalition conference in reference'to the organ
iSation Of the House. The scene opened be-
tween Mr.. Haskin and Mr.. Clark, of ~ York. .
The TribuHes correspondent represents that
"Mr. HaSkin inquired Of Mr.. McRae if Hor-
ace Clark, protesting Auti-Lecompton man,
had agreed to the programme by which Mr.,
Hickmans plurality proposition was to be voted
down. Mr.. Clark interrupted, saying it was
none of his business. Subsequently Mr.. Has
kin obtained the floor, and denounced Mr..
Clark's answer as impertinent, with other COM
ments not heard in the confusion. Immediately
calls to order were vociferated from the Demo-
cratic side, and rush made toward Mr. Has
kin, who continued his loud and vehement de-
nuuciations. The Clerk raped violently and
finally called the Sergeant-at-Arms, who appear
ed in the midst of confusion with uplifted mace
At one moment the whole House was intensely
disturbed, but the principal confusion was
among the Democracy, who surged towards the
centre area near which Mr.. Haskin stood
While speaking, bis revolver accidentally drop
ped from his pocket, which added to the excite
ment, from misapprehension that it had been
drawn for hostile purpose l was a careful
spectator Of the whole scene, and saw the pis-
tol drop. Mr.. Haskin was evidently uncon-
scious Of what had occurred until the weapon
struck his foot. With much effort order was
gradually restored.

his employer professed entire satisfaction and
agreed to keep the matter secret, and did so,
till seven years after, when on the publication
Of his book in New York, bis former employer
disclosed the transaction, an exaggerated ac-
count Of which is still ahoat in the pro-slaYery
papers The affair does not seem to have any
necessary connection With the character of his
book.
