Plan for Prolonging Life.

Mr.. Robin, an eminent French
chemist, in a memoir recently pre-
scented to the French Academy, ex-
presses belief that the period of hu-
man life may be greatly prolonged,
and enters into an argument to show
that his opinion is based upon sound
reasoning. He also gives the result
Of his personal observations on this
subject. and proposes to demonstrate
the truthfulness Of his position by ac-
tual experiments upon animals whose
lives are of short duration. His argu.
ment is, that the mineral matter which
constitutes an ingredient in most oi
our food, after the combustion, is left
in our systems to incrust and stifien
the different parts of the body, and to
render imperfect many Of the vital
processes. He compares human be-
ings to furnaces which are always
kindled life exists only in combus-
tion, but the combustion which occurs
in our bodies, like that which takes
place in our chimneys, leaves o detri-
tus or residuiim which is fatal to life.
To remove this, he would administer
Tactic acid with ordinary food. This
acid is known to possess the power of
removing or dissolving the incrusta-
tions which form on the arteries, car
tilaces and valves of the heart. AS
buttermilk abounds in this acid, and
is. moreover, an agreeable kind OF
food, its habitual use, it is urged,
will free the system from these causes,
which inevitably cause death between
the seventy.iifth and one hundredtt
year.--Annual Of Scientific Discovery.

She measures 1851 tons, and carries

IDENTIFY had every confidence in him,
or he would not have been assigned
to the important and responsible duty
of looking after the Alabama. He
has been seeking an opportunity OF
engaging that piratical craft for a
long time, and now that it has been
voluntarily given to him by Semmes,
he has proved himself fully equal to
the task assigned him.

They organized themselves by repre-

As successful caterer for public
amusement and instruction Mr.. 2. L.
Barnum undoubtedly stands without
a rival in the world. Having lost a
fortune by placing too much confidence
in his fellow men, he has overcome
all obstacles, and by an undated en-
ergy and an almost apparently reck.
less outlay in procuring extraordinary
attractions for his Museum, has drawn
the most immense multitudes OF pat
rons there during the last twenty
years. The consequence is, he is
probably worth two millions of dol
lars. But good fortune does not spoil
a man like Barnum I; on the contrary,
his indomitable industry and his suayi-
ty keep full pace with his great sue
cess and he declares that his chief
pride and pleasure is to attend person
ally to tue business Of his Museum.

The Bible and Liberty.

Once more with hallowed feeling,
We join the blest employ,
Our nations praises pealings
In songs of festive JOY;
And back the loud hosanna
Shall roll from sea TO sea,
Till mountain and savanna
Re echo" We are free"
We love the Book which lighted
The glow of patriot fires,
When Freedom was benighted,
In the bosom of our sires. B
They shed their blood to save us,
And gained our liberty ~
But the greatest boon they gave us,
The Bible, was made free
Our land is virtues dwelling. g..
Here Science builds her shrine,
And happy hearts are swelling
With joy almost divine:
And we, in emulation. st..
Here pledge ourselves to be
The guardians of the Nation
Wen keep the Bible free!
Then come. with hallowed feeling,
Join in the blest employ
Our nations praises pealing .t#
In songs of festive joy.
Till back the loud hosanna a.s
Shall roll from sea to sea,
From mountain and savanna
Well keep the Bible free ny.

A Dark Affair Come to Light.
KEoKUK COUNTY, Iowa,
Il

July %, 1864.
DEAR JOURNAL:-Som time last
spring the observation-disclosures
Fernando Wood -Talley Copperheads of
Lancaster township, met in solemn con-
clave near the spot of the Skunk River
raid rendezvous, and then and there
passed resolution which was duly
posted at every crOss-rOad in the town
ship, stating that no person was there
after to be permitted to bring into, or
domicil in the township any person
commonly known as "nigger or
"darkey,"
This "golden" edict was recently vi
olated by one Abijah Hughes, who with
out the fear of said resolution before his
eyes, wickedly and deliberately" had
colored woman and boy brought from
Fairfield. The boy was subsequently
turned over to "Capt." Jerman. Forth
with the circle convened, and "Capt." "
Jerman, being a good Democrat, and a
man of moderate nerve, and one of the
original supporters of the aforesaid res
olution, was gently persuaded to return
the boy to Mr.. Hughes. The latter
named gentleman being also a good
Democrat, is big gun in the township,
somewhat self-willed, and not so easily
managed. After much talk, and more
whisky, Evans, the circles attorney,
gave it as his opinion that if he wanted
darkey, and could get one, he would
do so in defiance of all the circles in
America. Thereupon perfect babel of
opinions arose. 1t is now rumored that
they have settled the matter by resolv-
ing to procure each as many negroes as
they can afford to hire, said negroes to
be obtained previous to the opening of
next seasons farming. 80 what fall,

THE COPPERHEAD PROGRAMME
Manhattan" the copperhead New
York correspondent of the London
Herald, wrote in one of his last letters !:
I suppose a majority of the Democrat
ic party of the North has kind feelings
to their brethren South. They see no
ray of hope in the chances of conquering
the South, but they say, and-see, if hum
dreds of thousands of lives are lost every
year, that the day is not far distant when
the Lincoln government will be bank
rupt in men and means. Then the
South will be open for new States
Each State will have a right to act as it
pleases. The Western States would join
the South. So, too, would the demo-
Gratis carry Pennsylvania, New York,
and New Jersey into the Southern alli-
ance, reviving the old state of things,
and excluding the six New England
States.
