DISCOVERY OF A NEW SUBSTANCE
IN THE ATNospuERE.-A writer in the
National hteHgsncer states that the
theory Of Mr. Clemson. head Of the Ag.
ricultural Department Of the Patent or
flee, Of living organism in the atmosphere,
which he made public in 1856 has been
adopted by a French chemist named Bar
raj and announced to .le French Acad-
emy. Mr.. Clemson theory is that the
air, Ike water, teens with minute living
organisms; that there is pbospboric
acid in the air, derived frola the succ Sc
sive generations after nera.ions Of myr-
lads of these organisms produced, living
and dying in the atmosphere that such
organisms exist ana 5, work assimilatin-
from one to the other, preparing food for
more perfect organisms, from the micro
scopic point Of life up to the most perfect
animal exi5tences. I, is expected that
tins discovery will explain why the earth
is increased \ fertility by being broken
up aud exposed to the air. It connects
meteoroIogy with agriculture, and will,
when fully developed, open a new page
to the LEANED Of the relation of the spots
on the sun, the degree Of fertility Of the
earth, and electric changes Of the atmos-
phere sad maglsucaI condition Of the
earth.

A REMARKABLE POEM.

The following poem was delivered in Boston
p by Miss Lissie Doten, spiritual trance speaker
she protesting to give it mpromptu, so far IS she
was concerned, and to speak under the direct In
fuence Of the spirit Of Edgar A. Poe. The po-
en- bears striking resemblance to Poe's, and is
superior to anything Of his We have ever read
except the Raven and Annabel Lee and we are
not sure 1t is not superior TO the latter. Miss
Do.en belongs in Plymouth, Mass, and we have
enjoyed the pleasure Of her acquaintance many
years. She wrote before she was spirtualisf,
some good poetry, but nothing that can be com
pared wl.h this. We have no faith in spiritu
alisu. but, as the Springfield Republican observe,
this g. one Of 0Ae nast astonishing things Spin
itualism has vet produced

that relation. That power has been wisely vest
ed in the Convention, which will at the proper
time, express your severe en- will and that
meanwhile, it is your duty to obey all constltu-
tional requirements of the federal government
but it is equally my duty to advise you that
YOUR first allegiance is due to your own State,
and that you arc under no obligation whatever
to obey the unconstitutional cdicts of the mill
tary despotism which has introduced ITSELF at
Washington. nor submit to the infamous and
degrading sway of its wicked mioions in th''
State. No brave hearted Missourau will o"cv
the one, or submit to the other. Rise thea !
and drive out ANONYMOUSLY the invaders who
have dared to desecrate the soil which your Ia
bors have made fruitful and which is consccra-
ted by sour hcmes.
