From The Editors Preface.
A man may not only "take his own
life," by wiring his Autobiography, with
out committing feiO de Sc, but may carry
himself into future time by producing a
book which the world will not
willingly let die. This is what Mr.. Rob
ert. Houdin the greatest artist in what is
called Conjuring, has lately done in the
remarkable book Condolences dun Pres
tigiteur, a faithful translation Of which is
here presented to The American reading
public. The work has had the greatest
success in Europe, from its lively style as
we'll as from the various information ii
contains, historical and philosophical. On
The practice and principles Of sleighI.of-
hand, and the other deails, mental
as well as mechanical, which unite TO
make perfect the exhibition Of White Ma
gic, The anlipodes Of wLat our foreiaIher0
knew, prosecuted, and punished as The
Black Art.
From Tile WeSfminSter ReUie,C.
"Witbout any sarcastic intention, we
might show that the Conjurer was really
man Of greater ability than many sue
cessful author. Ga the whole we can re-
commend these Memoirs of Robert-Hon-
din's as pleasant reading" Published by

warned, are fnnIly foretold. Thus, thernotics,
or the science of heat, only appeared with tho
invention of the thermometer, by which, for the
first time thermal force could b. exactly meas
ured. The laws of chemical combination fol-
lowed the introduction Of the balance, and nj
chemy passed into chemistry. The science
of atmospheric phenomena followed the adj
vent of thermometers, barOmeters, hygrome-
tiers, and electroscopes. Much was known
of all these subjects before, but it grew into
precision and assumed the scientific form by the
assistance of these various measuring contr-
vances.
Science, them. is not foreign body lately intro
duced among the knowledges-a huge bOwlder
drifted and dropped among us from, nobody knows
where; it is the proper product OF time aud
effort, the signal of our advancement, the very
Towering and fruting of the tree of knowledge
In the order of nature and time, the sciences ore
developed out of their corresponding arts. There
is first dubious, labOred, empirical practice, with
its blind rules waste of power, and no rational
guidance; then the unfolding of scientific prlnc-
pies economical shortcuts, multiplied resources
and command of conditions. StOck-breeding
for ages crude art, is now pursued in its SCI
eBtfc principles with immensely improved re-
suits LOcOmOtion has escaped from the bondage
OF low art and the revelation OF its scientihc
principles has reyolutionized civilization. And 50,
in the whole circle of human activities, there IS
hardly an art or pursuit that has not been more
or less renovated and recognized by steady and
persistent efforts to elucidate the principles by
which practice should be governed. The law
here Indicated and which has been very
ably developed in the writings of Herbert
SPENCER, is universal, and springs from the
orderly administration Of the universe on the one
hand, and the progressive nature of man on the
other We live in the midst of an organized and
orderly scheme of being; there are no breaks nor
blanks where law is intermitted. Whatever We
do and wherever we work, the memorable ordi-
nances of nature are either to be obeyed or vio-
lated. The principle here stated is sufficiently
discernible in the material arts and physical sci
ences but it is of far wider application. Edu-
cation presents itself in the relations, as an
art and o science At first an affair of blind
precepts, arbitrary rules and cropping practice, it
is beginning to be found that law reigns here
also, and science has commenced its calculation.
This thought we propose to develop more in de-
fail hereafter

In another column we publish a card signed
by several well-known citizens, who have, at diff
ferent times, been members of the City Govern
ment, and who, not having forfeited their good
names thereby, are all the more worthy of being
listened to- These gentlemen testify to the char
acter and the ability of Mr.. Darrow, candidate
for Alderman in the Seventh District, and if any
testimony can have weight this is worthy of the
strongest influence.
The Times of yesterday morning, in On article
in relation to candidates at the ensuing munich
pal election, referred to Mr. barrow in terms
calculated, whether intended to do so or not, TO
pjure him seriously in the public mind The
real charges against him are, first, that he is
lessee of wharyes and piers, and that he voted
for the YOnkers Railroad BILL OF the latter we
have disposed already. Mr.. Darrow did not
vote for the Yonkers Railroad, and only failed to
vote against it because no time was given him to
investigate its character. The other charge is
merely an ill-natured insinuatiOn which the writer
could have only hoped would tell against him,
because the public are prone to suspect anybody
who has anything to do with city affairs. 1t is
Qullt true lHut bHiON 10 q itoocC VI Cltl
wharyes, a regular business, which he took from
person whose clerk he once was, and business
which, if honestly followed, is as honest as any
other. He hires these premises, when let at
public auction, and lets them out again at fair
percentage, for loading and unloading their ships,
to merchants, among whom he is well.known as
n wharfnger of industry and probity. 1t is GER
tainy strong evidence in Mr.. Darrows favor,
that of the only two charges that can be brought
against him, one is falsehood, and the other
malicious insnuatiOn.

The Homestead bill ought also to pass ut this
session, even though the President is certain 10
veto it. The Western pioneers still suffering
from the effects of successive bad haryests,
urgently need il to save their quarter sections
from the rapacious clutches Of Usury and Mono
poly the tens Of thousands at the East, whom
our political panic has thrown, or will throw out
of work, may well regard it az their Bow of
Promise True, Mr.. Buchanan vetoed the half
way measure of Inst session; but let us have the
whole-souled Republican bill now passed, and see
what he will say to that. We trust no CAROLYN
ian antics will be suffered to prevent the passage
of perfect Homestead bill at this session.
We trust there will be no further resistance to
the utter Abolition Of the Franking Privilege.
The Republicans might have done this at the last
session; they are mainly responsible for its fail
ure. 1t willard ought to-damage them if
they persist in having some mems letters and
printed matter transported by mail at other
mems expense. We trust the last document will
be franked at this session. Let every one who
uses the Mails pay for the service done him.
Whether any other comprehensive measure OF
Retrenchment and Reform can or cannot b. eff
fected at this Session, we cannot decide; but an
effort should be made to reduce our Annual Ex-
penditure. We have very considerable debt to
pay off, and should be about it; We have the Pa
cifc Railroad to build and ought to commence it
vigorously next year. To these ends we must
have more income and less outgo for current ex-
penses. The Revenue from Customs ought to be
collected at least Half Million cheaper than it
is, and may be by cutting off sinecures and re-
ducing salaries to the lowest point at which ut
men can be found to ill the places Scores OF
Land Offices, no longer needed ought to be closed
up. The Army and Navy onght each to be sub
iected to thorough oyerhauling. The Mail
Service should be put on less expensive and
more efficient footing. In short, there is very
much to be done but that half OF it will be ac-
tually accomplished at this Session We can hardly
hope. Wrangle and jaw, threats and ordinations,
are likely to be the order of the day. So let us
be thankful, on the whole, that the Session can
not be other than a short one.

| wish to say few words to Republicans every
where in regard to the circulation of TIT TRIBUNE
This county forms part of the "Wilmot District"
and contains population of 81, l2l. The number of
votes poled at the November election was 6,O2l. OF
this number, ASA yotes--neary four to one-were
polled for Lincoln. There are OVER ONE THOUSAND
copies OF The TRIBUNE taken in this county and these
with Organization and Work, were the best means en-
ployed to bring about the above result In laeely
