Launch OF the New steam Frigate Lacka-
wanna.

From the hour Of seven yesterday morning up to the
time Of the launch OF this vessel continual stream Of
visitors particularly the genter SEX kept pouring into
the Navy Yard Brooklyn. Certainly not less than eish
thousand persons present, and enthusiastic
assemblagc never congregated to applaud the en-
Of the government to put down the present re-
belion. Every available space in shiphouse No. was
occupied every vessel crowded. and the yard in the
vicinity OF the launch was literally jammed Shphouse
No. l was tastefuily decorated with the stars and
Stripes and the shipping presented every design suita-
BILE for the occasion The receiving ship North Carolina had
all her cutters manned with blue jackets, decorated in
their summer toggeryher ensigns thrown forth to the
breeze, and her yards manned. Some Ave hundred
ladies and gentlemen filled up every crevce OF this ship
where a view OF the launch could be obtained, and the
excellent band attached 10 the yard discoursed most
delightful music In fact everything that could tend to
give ecra the occasion fully provided The docks
and shipping in the vicinity also lined with i'm.
mense crowds Of people.
Everything being in readiness, at nine o'clock pre-
cisely-the order for cutting away the stauncheons
being completed-the Lackawanna glided gracefully
and quietly into her native element, proudly raising
her bead as she advanced. As she Slid down
the ways the enthusiasm Of the people fairly
made the wekin ring, and as she sped her way
through the water those on tho docks and shipping
in the vicinity sent up another shout, which was re
echoed by people in the yard and the blue jackets
the war vessels.
TOO much praise cannot be bestowed upon Naval Con
sructor Deano, Lieutenant Commanders Fiebrown aud
Temple and Captain Brady the master Of the yard for
the orderly and efficient with which everything
connected with the launch was conducted. Indeed we
venture say that other launch took place a.
this station which gave such general satisfaction
The christening portion Of the ceremony was performed

Unconscious Braln-Work.

Sir Benjamin Brodie has referred, in
his Psychological Inquiry, to very re-
markable quality of the brain, a quality
DR.. Carpenter calls unconcious cerebatiOn.
1t often happens that after accumulating
a number of facts in an inquiry, the mind
becomes so confused in contemplating
them, that it is incapable of proceeding
with its labors of arrangement and elabo-
ration: dismayed at the chaotic heap, it
backs, as it were, upon itself, and we feel
certain it is no use cudgeling our dull
brains any longer. After little while,
however, without having once conscious
" recurred to the subject, we find to our
surprise, that the confusion which involv-
ed the question has entirely subsidized,
and every fact has fallen into its right
place. 1t is possible that the brain can
without our knowledge, select and elm
mate, aggregate and segregate facts as sub
tlely as the digestive organs act upon food
into their stomach.
Sir Henry Holland IS inclined to dissent
from such a conclusion, and leans rather
to the explanation of the phenomenon
which Sir Benjamin Brodie has himself
uggested-namely, that the seeming or
dering process may be accounted for by
fade from the memory, whilst those which |
are essential for the ultimate arrange
ment and classification of the subject un-
der consideration are left clear of the
weeds that before encumbered them
But this explanation involves a confession
Of an eliminatiye process going on uncon-
ciously in the brain which appears little
less wonderful than a hidden cogitation.
Why should the unessential facts alone
fade? We see no reason why we should |
refuse TO recognize masked operations of
the mind. Surely We see every day ex-
amples of cerebal acts being performed. of
which the individual afterward is totally
oblivious.
Let us instance. for example, the men

The Negro in Demand.

The Danish Government has made sin
gular proposition to the Administration
at Washington 1t is no less than to take
all the contrabands off our hands. trans
port them to the Danish West Indies.
there to be placed under apprenticeship
for three years, and after that time to re-
ceive wages and to become entirely free.
The proposal shows on the part of Den
mark Yankee propensity for driving a
sharp trade. 1t shows, besides, that the
negro is in demand in other quarters, al
though he has been the innocent cause
of great difficulties among us.
Our Government could do no more,
were it disposed to cooperate with Den
mark, than to extend facilities for such
fugitives as might desire to migrate to st.
Croix on the terms proposed. 1t could
not transfer the contrabands bodily to the
representatives of Denmark, to be con-
veyed without their consent to new
though mitigated bondage No one, we
trust. would advocate that course. Nor
will the plan of duplicating our Govern
ment in the apprenticeship system find
general favor. If individuals desire to
seek new homes under Danish protection,
the Government might withhold him
drance and interference. Beyond that,
the efforts of the Danish diplomats will
not be likely TO be ectual.-Oncida Her

Debts of Nations.

English papers are exhibiting a marked
degree of interest in the financial affairs
of the United States, and are frightfully
concerned about the future magnitude OF
our National debt. No one better than
the English people know the blessings OF
a large national debt, for they have expe-
rienced its sweets for generations back,
and will continue to do so for centuries to
come, should John Bulldom extend so far
into the future. But the English need
not entertain any fears that the United
States, even with the expensive civil war,
is likely to rival Britain in the matter of
its long cherished debt We may outstrip
her in commerce, manufactures, military
and naval power, but as for the debt, we
are likely to remain in the back ground
for long time yet.
The debt of Great Britain is 50, 900, 900,
900; the nation is not so able to bear that
burden as is the United States: as the lat
ter has country possessed of far more
natural wealth than the former, and has
no expensive Colonial establishments to
keep up; but for the United States to be-
come so heavily burdened with debt as is
Great Britain the Government must run
in debt at the rate of two millions day
for the next six years. At present the
debt of the United States is about $780,
OO0, 900: that of France, SI,375, 900, 900; of
Austria, 5000, 900, 600 of Russia, $3.50, ,000,-
900; of Spain, 5000, 100000. 1t will thus
be seen that, considering its population
and natural resources, the debt of the
United States, even at the close of the
civil war, does not promise to be very
large, when compared with the debts of
the principal nations of Europe.

The Teeth.

some set of teeth is a passport to favor
TO eat without sound teeth is next to i'm
possible. They are essential alike to good
looks and good living. Yet few people
fully realize their aesthetic and practical
value till they are partially destroyed,
and the fearful gaps and serious incon-
venience occasioned by the extraction of a
few teeth arouse the process of decay
which has been carelessly allowed to be-
gin its unwelcome inroads. The preserva-
ton of the teeth is q matter which should
be carefully urged upon children and
young people, because the cause of decay
may generally be traced to neglect of
the teeth in the early period of life. The
teeth may easily be kept clean and sound
if the person enjoys fair health. They
should be cleansed after every meal in or
der to remove the particles of food that
would otherwise be converted into acid
and act injuriously upon the enamel No
dentrifice is required. Pure water, neither
hot nor cold, but tepid rather, should be
used, and the brush should be applied to
the edges and inner side of the teeth, as
well as to the outside. a wooden or quill
tooth-pick tmetallic ones are injurious)
may be used to remove any particles of
food clinging between the teeth. Py this
method they may be kept perfectly clean,
and their soundness insured for a much
longer than is usually the case, while un-
necessary pain and expense occasioned by
dental treatment may be avoided. Moth
ing very cold or very hot should be allow
ed to come in contact with the teeth.

Husbands end Wives.

In the flush and brilliancy of early mar
ried love, the first faint impressions of
the future husband and wife commence.
As lovers, their separate dispositions were
IN state of pleasant antogonism as a
welded pair, they are presumed to be
amalgamated, and form an entirety which
recognizes mutual interests, advantages
and concessions, as the basis of their mu-
tUal happiness. The husband, then, ev-
en- in the dawn'of his marital bliss, should
begin to create in his Wife's mind those
favorable sensations which are the precur-
sors of those more solid ideas which bind
woman to man-by that strong intercom-
muniOn of soul which only death can in
terrupt. The obligation is equally imper-
ative upon the wife. In the hey-dey Of
her husbands love, while his heart beats
responsive to her every wish, and his
mind is fair tablet on which none but
summer thoughts are engraved, she should
begin the study of his character, so that
when the necessity arises she may be
able to accommodate her own plastic one
to it, without effort or inconvenience
Indeed with both of them this should ear
ly be an object of anxiety, so that gradu-
ally there should grow up between them
conciliatOry predisposition of tone and
manner which, when brought into requisi-
ton, would appear more a habit than a
duty. Both husband and wife object to
anything that looks like eompulsion they
each turn away from even duty, when
clothed in repelling garments; and from
this it will be apparent how necessary it
is that the soil of their tempeFs, and pc
culiar mental and moral idiosyncrasies,
should as early as practicable be sown on
ly with those seeds which in after years
will yield the sweet-smelling flowers that
shed such delicious perfume over hal
lowed and long-tried welded love.
