na Insects Feel Pain.

Mr. w. S. Coleman has just published a
work on g British Butterflies, . in. which he
expresses his sincere belief that inserts do not
feel pain. He affifms that his conviction is
founded on ample mass of evidence, on OBJ
-servations and experiments, and strengthened
3y analogical reasoning. He mentions that
insects, when mutilated in way that would
cause excessive pain and speedy death to YER
tehrae animals, afterwards perform all the
functions Of life-eating, drinking. &C.. with
the same evident gusto and power of enjoy
ment as before. Plenty of striking instances
of this are on record, and, as an example, Mr..
Coleman states that he has seen wasp that
had been cut in two, afterwards regale himself
with avidity upon some syrup, which as he inl-
bibed. gathered into large ruby head just
behind the wings {where the stomach should
have been J but really the creatures pleasure
seemed TO be only augmented by the change
in his anatomy, because be could drink ten
times his ordinary fill Of sweets, without, of
course, getting any fuller. We can almost
fancy the scientific epicure, envying the insect
his ever fresh appetite and gastronomic capa-
bilities. If the above theory of the British
Naturalist is correct, the familiar words of
Shakespeare Isabella in " Measure for Meas

Progress of Repellion in China.

The rebellion in China is still in progress,
and is attended with terrible destruction of hu-
man life The details OF some of the 5utehe-
ries of men, women and children, are almost
too revolving for belief A correspondent of
the N Y. Times at Shanghai, under date of
June l4th, gives an Interesting account of the
progress of the rebellion III the interior of Chi
ma. The important city of Suchan is in the
hands of the rebels, and the Imperial army re-
lied upon to defend it, had been practically an
initiated. Suchan has population of two
millions, and is one of the first cities of the
Empire. The loss of life and the destruction
of property in the capture of Suchan were
not extraordinary, treachery rather than fight
ing having won the city.
Hang-Cbang, too, another important city,
called the Paradise of China, has been in the
possession of the rebels, though after occupy
ing It a week they temporarily retired Du-
ring their occupation, however the most hor-
-ribIe scenes of carnage took place, which
transcend anything to be found in the annals
of warfare, 1t is estimated that from 10000
to 10000 lives were sacrificed, and the city
was left in state of desolation almost i'm
possible to conceive. The utmost consterna-
ton exists among the population of Shanghai,
who live in constant dread of descent by the
rebels on that city. Multitudes have fed in-
to the country. The English and French
forces were being concentrated near the Pei-ho
and we may expect soon to hear of the COM
moncennent of hostilities at that point.

Ali Right 1Gow--The Union Going
Anyhow.

A cheerful letter in the n. Y. Herald
from Texas, giving an account of the hangings,
poisonings and burnings, which diversity exist
ence in that happy commonwealth, will afford
immense relief to Republicans. We copy the
nlest eeRsoliag 4parag lAph
: The excitement growing out of tlrse mat
tiers has killed off all Conservative feeling in
Texas. You may now note down every Texan
as a disuhonist. They do not care what you
all do at the North. We believe that this
state of things will continue SO long as the
Union lasts; therefore, the great majority Of US
do not care how soon the crisis comes. We
believe it is bound to come, and it had as well
do so now as at any other time. We don't care
the oss of copper whom You elect President
If you elect Douglae Or Breckenridge or Bell,
this hollow Uuion will continue I; few years
longer; and if you elect that miserable old rail
splitting abolitionist, A be Lincoln, you only
hasten. by a few years the event which is
bound to transpire. Therefore, let every n or
thern man do as he chooses. If be is "a black
Republican, and at the same time in favor of
the Union; let him not fear to vote for Lincoln,
for disunion is bound to come npon US at no
distant day, and there is no use of prolonging
the miserable affair."
The Union 1cM slde-nothing can prevent
its Sti>on. Texas has spoken, and relieved
the North of all Responsibility. So we can
vote for Lincoln with the same tranquility that
we could vote for any other candidate. We
experience great comfort in this knowledge.

wine from Native Gifaapes...

The multitude OF grapes now being planted
in every part of the country mustsocn
furnish fruit enough for the market and
for wine making. Quite large experiments
have already been tried in wine making, even
in New England and in New York last year.
One firm in Boston manufactured twenty thou
sand gallons of wine from grapes grown OF
the Charles river A grape growers associ&-
tion in Connecticut is doing much towards
awakening an interest and diffusing informa.
tion on the subject Of grape culture and
wine making.
All admit tlat the Catawba grape, as
grown in Ohio Kentucky and Missouri, makes
an excellent wine the question is, whethes
other native grapes will do the Same in States
further north. We might, as moralists, raise
another query; whether if they would do 50,
the extensive manufacture of wines for CON-
mon use w I'D be likely to promote the cause
IF temperance and public virtue. But we
waite thai point. now, much as might be said
upon it.
The wine tasfers tell that thus far, the
leading defect in our native wine-grapes Is the
lack of sugar and of tartaric acid, two main
clements in good wine. 10 bring our north
Ern wines up to the required standard, il has
been fonnd necessary to add from two or three
pounds Of srgur TO one gallon of grape;juice.
Some use clear honey, and think it imparts a
very fine favor. But a perfect wine grape
would require no such additions.
1t has been laid down as rule by some ex-
perienced winners, that no grape is ct TO be
caied wine grape which viii not in drying
become raisin. Where is the American
grape that meets this requirement? Even the
Catawba does not in the favorable climate Of
Ohio. Others again, say that wine grapes
must grow on soil of volcanic origin and in
confirmation of this, they remind us that the
best foreign wines grow in such regions. May
we not, then, expect great excellence from the
wines Of California?
So far as we have learned, the Clinton
grape yields the best wine in the northern
States. This wine pofsesses that rich nrtty
favor which cbaracterizes the best imported
sorts. The Delaware also promises we'll
Fastidious vine tasters may call our, native
wines mere cordials,' weak syrups' or what
they please but ge frmly believe they are
better, for our health and our morals than tho
foreign wines, most of which are adulteratcd.

The Texas MInsurrection.,

The Baltimore American, paper partial
to the peculiar institution Of the South, says ::
at is thought not improbable that many Of
the recent fires in Texas have resulted from
the extreme drouth which. has prevailed in
that State. AT any rate the stories circulated
are of most exaggerated character. The
statement that two thousand white Abolition
lists were in Anderson county. is only one .spe
cimen of the absurd fctions which have been
promulgated The total vote OF the county
last year was -ony l,l00, and it would not re-
quirc so large body of Aboltionists TO
frigbten all the shareholders ont of it. An
other theory of these alarms may be found in
the fact that the Texans are very solicitous of
Inducing The Government to send force of
United States troops into the State. at one
point young man had been hung. ms alleged,
for giving strychnine TO slaves with which TO
poison the wells At another preacher had
been hung for being an Abolitionist. Two
other persons had received the same delicate
attention elsewhere. A significant commenta-
ry on all this excitement, however, may be
found in the fact that the people of Hender
son, although their town has suffered severely
from fire, are reported to be unwilling to be-
licve that any conspiracy exists"

FAST LIFE.

In this field of waste and disorder. as in every
other, Gods violated law, however it may be
forgotten never fails to assert and vsndcate
itself-aThe vicious die early" They fade
like shadows, or tumble like wrecks and ru-
sins into the grave-often when quite young,
almost always before forty. Bloody men,
says the psalmist, "shalI not live out half their
days. and the remark is equally true of fast
men," They live unsteady, spend their twelve
hours in six turn night into day and spend in
carousing and dissipation time that should be
used for rest, and in their rush in the chase for
pleasure get out of sight and into darkness,
while others are in the glow and glory of life.
Many man. and many a woman, too, dies
thus long before their time. They keep up
such constant steam that the boiler is con-
sumed or explodes. The machinery is destroy
ed by reckless speed and its inevitable wear
and tear.

"The uniavorable state of the atmosphere
on the crops is the subject OF general remark,
and, in addition 10 the injury which has been

Cold, damp weather, such as we have had so

r errible Tragedy in Indiana.

The Grown Point Register of the 9th gives
the following account of a shocking domestic
tragedy in Hobart township, in which father
killed his son and son-in-law. The Register
says:
A family by the name of A[ummery. con
sisting of an old man, three boys. a son-in-law,
and several daughters, have been living at va
rance for a year Or two. have had hard words
and frequently threatened each others lives
The quarrel COMMANDED about the old man g
property-the son and son-in-aw on one side.
and the old man and the other sons on the
other. The two have often threatened to put
an end to the old man if they ever caught him
alone.
On Monday, the old man was told by his
daughter, that hawk was flying about the
house, and that he could shoot it. He took
down heavy double-barrel gun. He did not
see the hawk, but looked about until he got d
short distance from the house, when he came
across his son and his son-in-law, who said !:
"Here is the old man-lets kill him." and at
once made after him with an axe. He turned
and fred one barrel at his son, hitting him in
the breast with some fifty large shot killing
him instantly. He snapped the other barrel
at the son-in-law, but it did not &C off. He
then took double-barrel pistol from his pock-
/ ct, and fired one barrel taking off one of his
ears He then fred the other barrel and shot
him through the body. The son-in-law lived
until Tuesday and gave his testimony before
the Coroner's jury and died in twenty minutes
thereafter
Public opinion seems to favor the old man.
and the general opinion seems to be that he
did no more than was necessary to save his
own life.
The old man is about 60 years DID, the son
he killed about 80 or over. The son-in-law,
and leader in the difficulty, was an old man
probabl older than his father-in-law.
