IMPpRTANT 10 SHIPMAsTERs.-Whil the schooner
Rosewreath, Of Boston, Capt. Haker, was lying at
Richmond Va, about month Hack, in ballast, the
captain, who was sitting in his cabin, found smoke
issuing from the mates staterdom On opening
the door, the mates coat, hanging there was found
to be on fire, which Of course was soon eStin-
guished. There being nothing i'll the pocket Of the
coat to cause it, Capt. B. was induced to make
some experiments, and found That bnl's-eye side
light, on which the sun was shining strongly, was
the cause. The coat was in direct line with the
rays, and the bulls eye had aeted as a powerful
burning glass. This, Capt. B. proved by six differ
ent trials, each time igntng the article when held
within five Or six feet Of tho bulls-eye. 1t is
thought that many of the fires in cotton, which
have been occurring for some tine back, may have
arisen from the same eaIIse

THE RESULT IN THIS STATE.

Nearly complete returns from al the
largely populated counties ofthis State, and
reported majorities from other. sections,
warrant the following general conclusions
The majority for tho Republican elector-
al ticket will exceed 10000.
For Congress, the result is nearly as fol-
lows:
JOHN f. Porter, Republican, il the
First Congressional District, will have about
1900 majority.
LUTHER HANcHErT, Republican, in the
Second District, will have from 10000 to
10000 majority.
A. scorr Sloan, Republican, in the
Third District, will have some 1000 ma
jority.

The PowER or THE HEART.--Let any
one, while sitting down, place tie left leg
over the knee Of the right one, and permit
it to hang freely, abandoning all muscular
control over it. Speedily itmay be obsery-
ed to sway forward and back through a
Limited space at reglllag intervals. Count
ing the number OF these motions for anv
given time, they viii be found to agree ex-
Iactly with the baatings ofthe pulse. Every
one knows that, at a fire, when the water
from the engine is forced through bent
hose. the tendencyis 70 straighten the hose ];
land if the bend be sharp one. ccnsidera-
Bic force Is necessary to overcome the ten
.dency. Just SO it is IN the case Of tho human
body The arteries are bnt a system Of
hose through which the blood is forced
by the heat. When the leg is bent, too,
and every time the heart contracts, the
rushing through thearteries tends tostaight
.en them; and it IS the effort which produ-
ces the motion Of Tie leg alluded to. With
out such ocular demonstration, it is difficult
to conceive the power exerted BY that ex-
qasite mechanism, the nocn7al pulsations Of
which are never perceived by him whose
every day life they are.

4 REPUBLICAN, rARr OF ruE WORLD.

The recent election reminds us, that we
live in a part Of this world of the United
States that is pretty well imbued with the
healthful and inyigorating spirit Of Repub-
licanism. For instance, the First and Sec
ond Congressional Districts Of Illinois have
probably given together TWeayJfce Taoat-
sand Republican majority; the adjoining
Congressional District ii Wisconsin, now
represented BY &C. Washburne, has prob
abiy given Ten thousand majority, and
the adjoining District west Of us in Iowa
has probably given Screen Thousand more,
making in these four Districts, say Forty
two thousand Republican majority. We
are glad to hope, that after the next APP
portionment Of the States for members Of
Congress, the people Of this aoble tract Of
country who are now represented by four
Republicans, will at the next election send
seven or eight GuleRo Ady.
