NEW METHoD.-A scientific German publl-
cation states that among other curiosties, DR..
Grusselbake, professor Of chemistry at the
University of Upsal, has little serpent which
although rigid and frozen as marble, can, by
the aid of stimulating aspersion, discovered
by the doctor, be brought to life in few min
utes, becoming as lively as the day it was
captured, DOW some ten years ago. DIR.
Grusselbrake has discovered the means Of
benumbing and reviving it at pleasure If this
principal could be carried out for men as well
as for reptiles, death would lose its empire over
mankind, and we should preserve life as the
Egyptians preserved their mummies. The Dr's
process is nothing more, apparently, than
simply lowering the temperature, just to that
point where the cold produces complete tor
por, without injuriug any of the tissues. 10
this state the body is neither dead nor alive
it is torpid The professor has laid his scheme
before the Swedish government, and proposes
that condemned criminal shall be handed
over to him for the purpose of experiment.
The savani proposes, if he can only get his
man, to benumb him as be benumbs his little
serpent, for one or two years, and then recussi-
tate him from apparent death by bis dispersion
stimulante." Verify, the German philosopher
is a wonderful fellow, and the Swedish gov
ernment shOuld let him have a criminal by all
means.

BRAVE CowBoY.-A Massachusetts paper
saws: Charles Gates, a minor son Of VIM. h.
Gates of Lee, Massachusetts, wished to enlist
three years ago, but his aged parents objected
to it. One morning be was sent to drive the
COWS to pasture, on his way to work, taking
bis dinner with him. But at night be did not
come back, because he had run away and en-
listed in the Tenth regiment. He remained
through the three years without furlough, and
returned with the regiment unharmed by rebel
bullets. He arrived in the old pasture, at
home, one night last week, just at cow,time,
and eisurely drove up the same old COWS, as il
he hadn't been away for three years.
