PHYSICAL PRoPoRTIoNs OF THE HUMAN
FAMILY.-The largest circle of the terrestrial
globe of uniform temperature is the equator
Those running parallel to this, as for exam
pie, the tropics, polar circle, &c, diminish as
they approach either pole. The stature of
the human race, especially that of men, like
wise lessons, though not to the same extent
at all, from the equatorial and tropical re-
gions toward the poles. In the warm lati-
tudes are found races of men of large dimen-
sions dwindling in the cold regions of the
high latitudes, so that it may be'afirmed that
men grow low in proportion as the latitude
is high. But women are more uniform in
size than men, being of nearly equal hight in
places where men vary very much in size.
In regions where males are much taller than
the average, the women continue Of about
the same medium dimensions. The fact too,
appears from historic monuments, that the
size of the race in general has not varied
from the earliest ages, and that men and
women are now of the same dimensions as
they were before the period of Moses. This,
we suppose, is amply corroborated by the
evidence afforded by the thousands of num-
mics which have been recently unrolled after
lying hidden for thirty and forty centuries,
perhaps, in the catacombs Of Egypt.

The Hight of Fooli,h Politepe...

Inc Parls Stccle revlveS an old story:
At the corner of one of the streets leading
into the Rue la Temple, large crowd as
sembled two days ago, and on inquiry it
turned out to have been caused in this way:
Two we'll dressed females, each with an ample
crinoline, met on the pavement, which is
narrow; and one, stepping toward the wall,
said, Pardon, Madamep thinking that the
other would stand aside; but the other an
swered, Pardon Madame, and remained firm.
Pass, then, if you cant returned the first,
the second replying, '0h, am in no hurry,
and eau wait until you let me passl' AS yon
please retorted the first speaker, 4 also have
time TO wait And the two stood still. For
quarter of an hour they remained close Ia
each other, in spite of the crowd. At length
some one cried out, What are they doing
thereP They are trying to see which is the
most pigheaded, answered bystander; but
they appear to be equal in that quality
This caused q shout of laughter, and the two
females at last becoming disconnected, sew
orally turned back the way they had come
This affair, adds the Steele, calls TO mind one
which occurred at the Court of Charles Y,

4 Southern Editress' idea of Kissins
Women.


The editress of the Thompson (Ga.) Herald
writes bad English; and is very far, we fear,
from being refined or elegant woman; but
she expresses, in her rude way, sensible
opinion on the delicious custom. of kissing
between the opposite sexes, as follows
Well, we reckon some folks would really
like to know what we thought of kissing.
In the first place, we thought what an absurd
idea it is in man to ask young ladpto kiss
him, just as if he, the senseless being, thought
the poor trembling little creature was going
to do it. The idea of man asking for a
thing so easily obtained Why, it is ridicu-
ousl and man with the least particle Of
brains would hoot at the idea. Shed say no,
till doomsday. And you, poor believer,
would forego the happiness of drawing nee
tar from the rosebud mouth, simply because
you were ignoramus enough TO ask for what
you might have taken. There are ten thou
sand ways to kiss girl without asking the
pleasure. Direct her attention to some thing
on the table; ask for a book you know to be
there, and while she is there, go with the
affected purpose of helping her to look for
it; be particular TO get at her left side--do you
need any more telling2 If you do, you do
not deserve the kiss that might be so grace
fully taken. A man who would ask kiss
Of a fair maiden ought to be tarred and
feathered as craven-hearted monster. Don't
do it, for goodness sake-ask the girls to kiss
you'll Kiss them, if you want to, but do it
like gentlemen.

CONFESSION OF A CLERICAL MURDERER-Ex-

stated that Harden is even now writing his
confession, and has communicated certain
portions oft to thejailer and one or two others.
The administering of the poison to his wife
commenced on her return to Ramsey's, and
was given to her while sitting on his knee,
even during the endearments Of an appar-
emily loving wife. He kindly invited her to
partake of an apple ON which he had spread
arsenic. She unsuspectingly ate it. remark
ing that it appeared to have something gritty
on it. He replied that it was nothing
There are statements, said 10 have been made
by the prisoner, involving his criminality
with others who shared his affections. His
purchasing the arsenic at Easton, his using
that which was about the house, are con-
hrmed by Harden's own words. What is
most astonishing, sthe statement that in the
perpetration of these enormities, Harden does
not seem to have had the slightest compInc-
tions. He did them without for once think

ExrRAoRDINARY LETHAReY.--Au Angou-
leme (France) journal relates a case Of
lethargy in that place. Recently a widow
named Jolly, living with her family on the
Rampant du Nora, after taking her ordinary
repast retired 70 rest at nine o'clock, her
usual hour. The next day she did not get
up, and when her children went to her room,
they found that she was fast asleep and could
not be awakened, They sent for a physician
and he did what he could, without, however,
succeeding in restoring her TO consciousness.
A priest was next brought and he admins
tered the last rites of religion. Since then
she has remained in state Of complete
lethargy, and has all the appearance of being
In peaceful slpiuber her pulse is regular
and no change has taken place in her feat

five years has been paral yzed in the left side,
but she has always been in good health, and Of

The London correspondent of the New Or

SAILS: F-s -f4e rL...- t'
This worldwide renowned place is situated
in an obscure locality, near Hyde Park cor
ner. You drive down dirty lane, where
you would only fancy to find the stable Of a
blind donkey, to enter a spacious and we'll
arranged building, with court-yards for the
display of horses, and tables and desks for
the deeds Of cash which are there transacted
to so large an amount. On the settling day
for the Derby the place is like the crush room
of an OPERA scarcely any passing along
through the crowd; every one holding a
bundle Of bank notes, and treating them as
if they were so much waste paper-a beck
and a nod-reference to book-just word.
For instance, l owe you $4,000, or / want
$4,000 of you-notes pass hands for the
amount, and on they travel, to receive or
give these precious pieces of paper. Neither
u thank-you nor a word of disappointment,
nor a flush of pleasure. Suddenly one ma
seems particularly wanted, however, and his
name is frequently heard. Not seen him.
The fact is communicated at last to the
Secretary that he is non est and the next day
he will be hanged; that is to say, his name
black and white, and, henceforth, he will not
be able to make his appearance in any bet
ting ring in England. 1t is the sporting fiat
of bankruptcy which has gone forth against
him. The failure this time was for e., 900.
tits characteristic of the distrust that reigns
throughout all turf doings, that the jockey
who is to ride is never named till the last
moment. For instance, for the winning
horse Mr.. Merry imported an Englishman
from st. Petersburg that day, though it was
finally agreed q strange lad, q novice, should
ride, and the next day after the Derby men
were off to all parts, not knowing what
horse they were to be concerned for, one
going express to Turin in Italy, and winning
the italian Derby the next hour after his ar
rival. The cost of training and entering the
two hundred and twenty-four horses that
were put down to run for the Derby has been
the cause of some calculations and reokoned
at $4,000, and the number OF visitors ON the
Derby day, taking two men to yard, which
is the police way Of calculating, has been es-
timated at five hundred thousand.

A Horse STUEG TO DEATH BY BEEs.-An
occurrence of very remarkable character
took place at the residence of VIM. B. Dor
sey, in Urbana district, Nd, few days ago.
The Rev. John P. Hall, Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, called at Mr. Dorsey's, and
learning that he was on another part of the
faHm, dismounted, hitched his horse to the
fence, and started ON foot to find Mr.. Dorsey.
On the inside of the fenca,, where his horse
was hitched, was a stand Of bee-hives, and
during Mr.. Halls absence the bees attacked
the horse furiously, Unfortunately the head
halter was new and strong, and the effortsloi
the tortured animal to disengage bimseli
were fruitless. At length a servant-boy,
vailed and gloved, was sent with knife TO
cut the hitching strap, but when he came 10
the rescue he found the horses mouth wide
open and filled with bees, which literally
sfung him TO death. Violent inflammation
ensued, and the poor beast died of sufiocation
during the day. M. .ss ss " a5.

Appearance Of Nauvoo cIfv-The Late Joe
emffh,n Family.


A0hicago delegate returning TO his homo,
visited the ruins Of Nauvoo City, and gives
the following description thereof: Z.
A vast extent Of ground Is covered by the
ruins Of this city. Streets beautifully laid
out, wide and spacious, Macadamized and In
good order, afford evidence Of good taste and
systematic design. Numbers Of large brick
houses, with doors gone, windows broken,
and partially unroofed and useless, In every
sense Of the term. A very large unfinished
brick hotel, with marble cappings, 10 in the
center of the city, very picture of desola-
tion and destruction. The site Of the town
Is unsurpassed by any on the river. 1t is
most admirably adapted for the wants Of a
large city; access to it is easy, by land and
water the climate is genial, and the general
condition Of the place healthy. Since the
departure Of the French, the Germans have
1ocked there in crowds, and now occupy the
greater portion Of the city.
Young Joe Smith, the son of the prophet,
is twenty-six years of age, and occupies the
house in which his father first lived. He be-
lieves, as did his father, in. all the Mormon
doctrines, except the one which counterances
the plurality Of wives.
He is justice of the peace, and lives on
his property. His house resembles an old
fashioned, gable-ended New England farm
