The following facts concerning this great
German Philosopher may be of interest to the
public. He was Of Scotch origin, of family
bearing the name Cant, which he changed tc
Kant to adopt it to the german language
He was the second of six children, the son o.
an excellent eharactered woman, with accom-.
plishments beyond her rank. He was boru
at Konigsberg, ia Prussia, ia 1924. Being o
humble birth, he, was FIRST sent to charity
school afterwards, through the assistance ol
friends, to the royal Academy in 1882. In
I74O, he entered the University at KOnigs-
burg. At the age of twenty-five he printed
his FIRST work, partly mathematical and partly
philosophical and dedicated it to the king oil
Prussia. From this till ITO, be supported
himself by being private tutor and by giving
private lectures. In ITO he was appointed
to the chair of Mathematics in german Uni
versity soon to that of Logic and Metaphy-
sizes, where he delivered an inaugural disputa-
tion entitled " De muudi Sensibilis atque In
Ielligibilis Yorma ct Prisips," remarkable
for containing the first germs Of TraBcendent-
al Philosophy. In 1881 he published his
great work-the "Critik der Reinen a bernun
llg Ut Vi ulOAl0ooOn'
His life was remarkable for its purity, and
philOsephic dignity. Measured by his direct
and indirect influence as a pbilosophic writer,
he is considered second only to Aristotle. As
companion, he was social, enjoyed a good
dinner-which may be said to have been his
only meal-talked unafFectedly on every topic
His style of conversation was popular in the
highest degree, and although making phloso.
ply, chemistry, history &s., his main themes,
it was easy and free as if wholly unscholastic
His habits were marked by some peculiari-
ties, such as walking after dinner fer exercise
refusing TO have any companion, assigning for
reason, that he wished to breath only through
biz nose and not through bis mouth, for the
health of his lungs. He made ten his hour OF
retiring and i've Of rising. He had very
peculiar and definite way of wrapping himself
in his blanket, SO as to be rolled up, in the ap-
pearAnce of a mummy and had the faculty Of

Senator COnnes on slavery.

Senator Comes, of California, elected as
war democrat, yesterday planted himself
squarely on the anti-slavery platform. In a
passage-at-arms with Senator Salisbury, of
Delaware, Mr.. CoRnes said, touching prop
osition to exempt noncombatants from militia
~ service:
"This was Quakers' war; war Of moral
forces against the institution of slavery. The
South undertook this war to rear up a, negro
empire on its proposition that slavery was
right and essential to the existence OF society.
A part Of their proposition was to tear down
our government and build up their slave
breeding aristocracy on its ruins. We accept
their proposition, and say they shall neither
build up their edihce nor tear down this gov
ernment of freedom established by our fore
fathers. A citizen, whether Jew or Gentle,
Quaker or Catholic, be he what. he may, can
nes perform higher duty than to go to the
field and fight his eountrys battles for the
preservation Of human liberty. There is q
means prepared for exemption he was op-
posed to this exemption for conscience sake
he believed the safest and truest way to
Heaven was to strike a rebel wherever you
can reach him." e5 .rliiolf''

Rebel Losses in East Tennessee.

Our taking possession of East Tennessee,
next to our opening Of the Mississippi River,
is the hardest blow given to the rebels. A
correspondent of the Atlanta Intslligencer
pronouncss the East Tennessee losses to the
Confederacy incalculable, and odds
"We are not only deprived OF the vast -four
mills Of that country, which previously sup
piled the whole army, but also Of vast ma
chine shops and depots, which we had extern
Eively organized at Knoxville. Beside this,
we entirely cut off from the coal, iron and
copper mines Of that region, which were
worth millions to us. The copper rolling
mills at Cleveland, which were superintended
by Col. Peet, the Governments agent, and
which were burnt by the enemy, formerly turn
ed out 5000 pounds ofcopper per day. Over 3
millions of pounds had been delivered to the
Government. This was the only copper roll
ing mill in the country, and which kept US
supplied in copper for caps and cannon
This is among our losses by the battle Of
Chattanooga, which are spoken of as merely
resulting in a few Thousand men and thirty

Every observing farmer knows that men
and horses are the only animals that have dou-
BILE means of refrigeration, and all others have
bat one. No other beings sweat like men and
horses, and therefore cannot cool themselves
by perspiring through the skin. This win be
found true throughout the whole range ofoom-
parativs anatomy and applies to the largest As
well as the smallest beings. All the thick
skinned animals, except the hsrse, have no
powers in the skin to sxhaIe heat BY psrspira-
tion, it being only a secrstive surface. All the
cleft feeI species, including those with feet and
toes rounded aud unimproved with claws, the
rhinoseros, elephant, bison, mammoth, mastO-
don. buffalo, OK, swine, deer, the lion, tiger,
bear, wolf fox, squirrel, dOrmouse, opposum,
racceop, all like the dog, have no means OF
cooling themselves when heated, except thFO'
the medium Of perspiratiOn. Thus the or,
when very hot, thruSts out his tongue. and
pants, to extale the heat generated by exercise,
and if driven without time allowed for this,
will die with the heat that acoumulates within
him. Hogs often die when driven to fast, be-
cause they cannot part with generated heat.

EVENING.


The work of the day is over; my limbs are
weary with joy turn my steps tow Wards
my little cattage home. But the path is
long. How charming this home! Shelley
was right when he opened Queen Nab, my
faVorite poem Of his, by exclaiming show beau
tifuI is night p How pleasant to see the
stars, one by one, bursting forth through the
dark.blue vault How often they lavish their
golden rays on unheedisg men. How patient
are they, in always decorating the earth with
their bewitching sheen. Hew constant are
they. When have they grown sullen and
witholden their little lights When have
they gone off on a journey and made our
hearts sick for their return? They are very
faithful. Brightly shown they at our birth
hour. They gladdened and smiled upon the
wOoings of our parents and grand parents.-
Hew many sweet children and maidens il sll
nations and ages have delighted in these same
stars Q hsw changeless are they. When
mother Eve first blashed before Adam. these
same stars looked down bright and sparkling
as now. And when will they cease to sparkle?
Even now in my mature age they are as
bright as in early childhood. I see no sign
Of their failisg. Though my body wear away,
they fail not. Though my hairs, one BY Dne,
grow grey and fall off, yet do they not grow
old. They will smile on the early loves Of
Willie and Mary. They will rejoice in their
strength even though my eyes grow dim and
sightless. When am gathered to the home
Of all living, they will sparkle on my snow
covered grove. And when spring plants
thereon the violet and pink, these same stars
will watch over their folded petals If my
beloved should kneel upon my lonely grove by
night, these kind stars will gid her teardrops
with brightness. Yes, on and on, will these
bright stars shine. They will keep watch
over my beloveds grave-they will shine on
in the years to come. When uncounted gene
rations to come shall in turn have been
swept away, they will sparkle as gladly as
ever. Must we then all perish while the dia-
monds of earth and the jewels of the sky con-
time to shine? Shall they glow when our
souls light is qusnehed forever? Must we
shut our eyes in night while they shine on in
glory Shall the soul with its immortal
loDgings be put out, while the stars in their
Inconsistencies glow on forever? No, no,
no! GOd has promised to us Immortality
Gods Bible gives to US eternity. The soul
shall not be put out. But death shall take
from its ages dark veil. Then will it see
clearly, and rejoice more deeply. God has
made the stars for us. When their work is
done, they shall perish, but the soul shall live
and rejoice OH, and on, and on.

Eighteen years ago, at one o'clock Of a win
ter moonlight morning. while the horses in
the stage coach in which was blowing the
thick mud of Indiana were being changed at
the tavern in South Bend Il walked the foot
way OF the principal street to shake Of great
weariAess. I saw a light through a window.
A sign, "Ths Register" was IegIble above
it, and saw through the window a man in
his shirt sleeves walking quickly about like
one that worked. paused and looked and
imagined about the man, and about his work,
and about the lateness of the hour to which it
was protractsd and l. wondered IL he was in
debt, and struggling to get'out, and if his wife
was expecting him and had lighted a new
candle for his coming, and IL he was very
tired A coming step interrupted this idle
dreaming. When thes walker reached my
side rejoined him, aud as we went / asked
him questions, and naturally they were about
the workman in bis shirt sleeves. %What sort
Ofa man is be ?" "He is very good to the
poor; he works hard he is sociable, with the
people be pays his debts be is safe advi-
ser be doesn't drink whisky folks depend on
him ); all this part of Indiana believe in him."
From that day to this I have never taken up

his sulOgy, and enyying the man who had
uStly entitled himself to It in the dawn of his
