looking UP.

Mr.. Astor. of New York, died worth
many millions of dollars. The foundation
of hiC great fortune was in the fur trade of
the far West. Ga one OCCASION when ford
Jag . river on horseback, he found himself
becoming so dizzy that be was about to
lOae bis seat. Suddenly he received blow
on his chin from trapper who was his
companion, with the words, Look up."-
lie did look up, and recovered his balance.
1t vas looking on the turbulent waters that
put his life in peril the blow be received
and the looking up saved it.
A parallel auecdota, in reference to q
painter at st. Peters, Rome, is familiar to
many readers. He was working on q tenn
porary platform, so constructed as to ena-
bic him to touch the lofty dome with MS
pencil. Ia order to give the last touches
to q figure above him, he was gradually
backing until he reached the edge Of the
platform. In q moment he would have been
dashed on the marble floor that lay at au
immense distance beneath Oae Of his as
sociates saw his extreme danger, and with
great presence Of ,riod shroR brush of
paint upward against the almost finished
painting The painter sprang forward to
arrest, if he could, the injury. But he was
too late; the picture was ruined, bat the
painter &c was saved.

that Gods providence came in to disfgure

in our rulers or our people to apply the
easy and natural remedy.
We hold it to be the most obvious dc
tate of Justice on the part of our Govern
ment to institute the most Thorough reform

raised, in accents of thunder, demanding

religious manner, the three hundrSth an
niversary of the death Of Calvin, which
will take place on the 27th of May, 1861
Conformably to, this proposal, the Consis

est to that day, namely, Sunday the 29sF
Of May, special services shall be held IN
the four principal chepels of the town, a
ten O'Clock in the morning, as well as ii
oil the chspels in the country; also, tina
there shall be service for the young il
the Cathedral of St. Pierre. The work OF
Calvin and the establishment OF the Re

will be associated with several other Pro

WAR is a solemn matter at the best, but much
of it's solemnity is relieved by the amusing sto-
ries told of the soldiers. We recollect Of read
ing somewhere that in one of the hospitals, while

shield unto the armies of Union and Liberty q
wounded soldier rolled over in his bed, raised
his eyes toward the ceiling, and exclaimed
"Not shield, but breastworks, Lord-breast-

This record speaks of no fines imposed by the
Virginia court except on tobacco" and from
which we learn that this weed was not only
a staple commodity at that early period of our
country, but it was SO much so that it became a
substitute for currency.
The ancient record, thus brought to light by
the fortunes of war, seems to me of some histori-
cal value, and accordingly have deposited it

THE NEGRO AS A CAPITALIsT.-A private in one
of the negro regiments guarding the rebel pris-
oners at Point Lookout, Maryland, has received
a letter from the daughter of his former master,
suggesting that, as he is now earning money for
himself, it would be a very pretty thing for him
to send the family five dollars, or which they
were in great want, and, as for herself she would
be much obliged to him if he would give her
enough money to buy new gown.

OUR INDIAN WARs.-Were it not for the mag
nitude of our civil war; the hostities against the
Indians in the West and Southwest would at
tract greater attention. For nearly two years
we have been fighting the Sioux, and we see no
prospect that the present campaign will be de-
cisive In the drought of these immense
parched plains the Sioux have defence strong
er than any artificial ones they could erect. Ma
poleon said of the three barriers to an advancing
army, rivers, mountains, and deserts, that riv-
ers were the least formidable and deserts the
most formidable. The prairies, which have been
scorched by the intense sun of this summer, and
refreshed by no rain, are almost as formidable
as desert, for they afford scarcely any forage
for our animals.
But in the Southwest, also in Arizona, we
have work on hand. The Apache Indians have
been very troublesome to settlers in that Terri
tory. They are said by San Francisco paper,
to have about one thousand warriors, bold fight
ers we'll provided with horses and arms, but
short of ammunition. An expedition against
them was to leave Albuquerque, New Mexico,
on the 10th of June. It consisted of about 1900
men, 500 of whom were furnished by the Gov
ernor of the Territory of New Mexico, 200 by the
Governor of the new Mexican State Of Sonora.
which has been infested with them and 300 by
friendly Indian tribes, and the remainder by
| miners and by citizens of Tuscon, Arizonia.-
This is the most formidable force ever sent
against them. Yet it seems to us hardly strong
enough to put down those cunning, brave and
dexterous horseman But the fighting will be
merciless.-Pro0idence Journal.

THE HUMAN BoDY.-Joule's theory of the
equivalents in force and heat is receiving great
attention and some curious corrollaries. Pro-
lessor Helmholtz says that the human body
viewed as caloric engine, is capable of doing
much more work, compared with the fuel con-
sumed than any steam engine The pulsations
of the heart in one hour generate force which
would raise that organ twenty-five thousand feet
high in certain time, while the same amount
of heat in the best constructed engine could not
raise the weight of the engine more than two
thousand seven hundred feet
