QuIr-CoERcEp-The New York Journal of
Commerce of November 10TH after having
sustained party in the Presidential cam
paign whose leaders, pipe layers, and gener-
al managers are rebels to the core, and so
known by every individual who reads or
hears, withdraws from the political arena,
and declares that that paper was never par
tisan sheet. and that inasmuch as the Union
party has elected the whole Government it
would be unwise to longer meddle with the
affairs of State, thus gracefully bids farewell
to politics:
In Withdrawing from political discussion
we do not withdraw from supporting the
Government of the United States, the Con-
stitution of our fathers, the Union ofthe States
1t is our Government, and we are now and
forever hostile to every form of rebellion
against it. As citizens. we shall, with purse
and person, sustain the constituted authori-
ties. As publishers of daily journal, we
are of opinion that we shall best serve the
cause of the country, and do it and our read
ers the greatest good, by withdrawing from
the political field and devoting ourselves
lication of a good commercial and family
newspaper.
This is certainly conclusion worthy of
being adopted by the lesser lights of profess
ed Democracy, and much would be the bene-
fit to the commuuity-to the naton-if the
balance of those sheets that have so long
been teaching treason would adopt the same
commendible course.

MEDALS are presented once a year at Brus-

An IMMENSE HosPITAL TO BE BUILT.-The

the patients. it having been found by ex-

of the patients than any other accessory of a

THERE is man in Portage County. Ohio,
who since his fifteenth year has been
almost entirely ossifed At that age he in
iured his knee by a fall from a horse. The
injury caused ossfcation, which Immediately
set in and in the course of fifteen years had
completed its terrible work. He can only
move two of his fingers and two of his toes.
He has not opened his jaws for more than
thirty years. yet still manages to talk with
ease. His food is placed within his lips, and
without mastication is conveyed to his stom-
ach. He lies in the same position during an
entire day, only changing his position once in
twenty-four hours. His skin fortunately re-
tains its normal condition. He has been
blind Tor thirty years, and is compelled to
draw on his memory for mental exercise.
This faculty has become exceedingly tenaci-
Gus. He remembers the most minute and
trihing incident or circumstance; he has the
entire past-every fact and event in his expe-
rience-before him, piled up like strata, and
summons at will, or as occasion requires,
occurrences which have faded from the minds
of his friends. His recollection of localities
is wonderful. Places that he visited years
ago, before he was struck with blindness. he
can now identify as he rides along, so vivid
a recollection has he of the relative position
of things. as bridges, rivers. etc. He is very
expert at mathematical calculations. and can,
with great readiness, give, for example, the
number Of square inches in an area ofsquare
feet or rods given him.

Coal AND Coal OILs.-The fact of the
origin of coal oils and gasses, from confer
Gus vegetation. has been very recently
exemplifed When the blockade of North
Corolina occurred. about year since, the
supply of turpentine in the manufacturing
arts was unexpectedly cut of. Tarpentine and
ether liquid combustibles derived from veg
citation commanded exorbitant prices. This
led to efforts for a substitute. Bearing in
mind the vegetable origin of coal, somebody
adventured to distil it. and, sure enough. the
turpentine was obtained. Yha. coal con-
tains precisely the same constituents as our
ccneferous trees. though in form somewhat
dissimilar, was thus again established. We
thus ind in Goals the ingredients that we have
for ages been accustomed to look for in veg
etables, in animals and fish. We can obtain
the means to warm our houses. the gases to
illuminate them, the oils and tallow to In.
bricate machienry. the turpentine to supply
the demands of the arts, and no doubt we can
distil from them very good brandy. excellent
camphene gin, and very old, oily, unctuous
whisky

MEAT PRESERVED IN lee MANY THotsAND
YEARs.-We have now evidence of man
having existed in Europe with three speci-
es of elephant, two of them extinct, namely
the mammoth and the Elepus antiquus, and
a third. the same as that which still survives
in Africa As to the first of these, TIE NAM
moth. am aware tha. some writer's contend
that it could not have died out many thou
sand years before our time, because its flesh
has been preserved in ice in so fresh state
as to serve as food for dogs, bears and wolves;
but this argument seems to me fallacious.
Middendorf in 1913, after digging through
some thickness of frozen soil in Siberia. came
down upon an icy mass, in which the carcass
of mammoth was imbedded so perfect that
among other parts the pupil of the eye was
taken out, and is now preserved in the Mu-
scum of Moscow. t
No one will deny that this elephant.had lain
for several thousand years in its lev envelopes;
and if left undisturbed, and the cold had
gone m increasing for myfiads of centuries,
we might reasonably expect that the f oxen
flesh might continue undecayed until Sec
oud glacial period had passed away.

Great Salt Lake.

The lake is about twenty miles from Sol.
Lake City. Its only equal is the Dead Sea
The Dead Sea is thirteen hundred feet below
the level of the sea, the Great Salt Lake is
forty-two hundred feet above it. In general
terms the length of the lake is forty miles
and its width about fourteen miles. 1t is.
beyond ell question, one of the purest and
most concentrated brines in the world. 1t
has been found that it will yield about twenty
per cent. of pure common SALT about ten per
cent of foreign salts. The most objection.
able parts of the latter are the chloride of
lime and the chloride of magnesia. The

Fish cannot live in it, and it is .acartained

about thirty islands in the lake-the largest
being the Antelope. which has an elevation
OF about three thousand feet above the level
of the water. On many of the islands are
numerous springs of excellent fresh water,
with an abundant supply of grass, which
makes them superb places for herding stock.
Ghe lake is shallow and can be easily forded
from the main land to many of the islands
which abound in it. This lake drains an
immense area, and it is matter of some
little surprise that with an immense and an.
nual supply of fresh water, its saline quail
ties are not materially diminished. The
traveller stands upon its desolate shore, awe
stricken with the great evidence of Gods
existence. Vegetation ceases near its waters.
The gulls which fly about him only add to
the solemnity of the scene. The islands,
arising from the surface of the lake appears
to be posted as sentinels over the vast sheet
of water in which no living thing moves.
