The Human Body and the Hour OF
.i Day.

Seat yourself at table. Attach
a piece Of metal (say a shilling) to a
thread. Having placed your elbow
on the table, hold the thread between
the points Of the thumb and fore
finger, and allow the shilling to hang
in the center Of a glass tumblor; the
pulse will Immediately cause the
shilling to vibrate like a pendulum,
and the vibrations viii increase until
the shilling strikes the side Of the
glass; and suppose the 'time Of ex-
pertinent be the hour Of seven, or
half-past seven, the pendulum will
strike the glass seven times, and then
lose its momentum and return to the
center. If you hold the thread a
sufficient length Of time the effect
will be repeated; but not until a suf-
fcient space Of time has elapsed TO
convince yon that the experiment Is
complete. We need not add that the
thread must be held in a steady
hand; otherwise the vibrating mo-
tion would be connteracted. AT
whatever hour Of the day or night
the experiment Is made, the coinci-
dence viii be The same.

A distinguished lawyer Of New
Orleans and an earnest and ever con-
sistent Union man, writes from Sara
toga to a friend in this city, that the
signs Of a general. awakening of the
people Of the North to the folly, mad
ness and ruin Of the violent radical
ism which has seized upon the Con-
gress Of the United States, are very
conspicuous, and full Of promise Of a
general revolution in the politics Of
the people Of the North. This view
Is con6rmed by the testimony Of near
" all the observing persons who
have recently visited the North. The
sober, rejecting people begin to see
that the war is over, that the rebels
are utterly subjugated, and that il i
neither necessary nor useful to keep
up the constant depunciation and BIT
ter hostility toward their iellow-citi-
zens who were engaged 10 the IN.
kappy affair. The gigantic wrong
and iufamy Of delivering over th'
ten States Of the South to the abso.
Lutte and uncontrolled domination O
an inferior number Of their own re
cent slaves, will not be long acqui.
csced in and approved by any consid
erabIs or deosnt portion oftbcAm

The following is from the New
York Tim@. The cotton tax Is sim
ply Black Mail levied on the cotton
planter. No lawyer can seriously
argue that it is constitutional. 1t is
downright robbery, without even the
color Of right; and If the officers Of
the Government take their share of
the plumber, they are not less Grim
inal than the government itself.
There is absolutely no ground on
which the tax can be justified; for it
even descends to the unspeakable
meanness Of rebbing the poor freed
man who works for q share Of the
crop: "
Editor Nep York Tines:
Noting your remarks on frauds
upon the revenue, l wish to add cot
ton to the list, but in this case It is
the opprcssiveness of the tax which
induces parties 70 bribe the Govern
ment officers.
Looking at the probability Of cot
ton falling to twenty cents per pound
within the next four months, the tax
Of three cents per pound will then
be equal TO an income tax of from
twenty-five to fifty per cent. or more
upon the growers, however small their
incomes may be from this branch Of
agriculture; and this when the tax
on larger incomes has been reduced
to FIVE per cent, aud all incomes not
above u 900 have been exempted
IRON taxation.
The government knows very well
already, and so does hundreds in
New 0rleass, that there were cert.
fcates Of tax payment afoat in that
place for not less than 100000 bale
Of cotton, when the stock was below
100000 bales; aud these certificate
were frequently offered for sale a
two dollars per bale, while the cor
rect tax is about thirteen dollars pc
bale.
The tax ought not to stand on
day, nor any tax at all upon cotton
for the interest Of the North suffer
BY Il. Neither New York nor ii
linois nor the Northwestern State
would pay a similar tax on wheat
nor can the cotton growers be expect
cd to pay Il.

tions, II has IN uninterrupted broad

long journeys, this is an advantage
not TO be lightly estimated. Theears
are wide and roomy. The equipment
Of the road is Of the most approved
description. The cars are furnished
with all the improvements known tc
railway experience, and are as free
from dust and are as well ventilated
and comfortable as ID is possible for

The Home Press.

What tells so readily the standing
Of town or city as the appearance
of its newspaper? And its youth or
age can as well be evinced by a glance
at its newspaper as though personal
observation had been made. The
enterprise Of its citizens il depicted
by its advertisements their liber-
atty by the looks Of the paper.
Some papers show a good, solid,
healthy foundation, plcthorscs, and
well-to-do appearance generally; with
the grasping thousands, trying to
wrench out existence from the close
listed community around them. An
occasional meteoric display in It's col
umns Of telegraphic, OF local, or edi-
torial, shows what il would do if it
had the means, but cannot continue
in the expensive work until the sup
port comes which ought TO be readily
granted. A newspaper Is like q
church ; IL wants fostering from the
commencement for a few years, then,
as a general thing, il can walk alone.
and reflect credit upon is location.
Take your home paper! IL gives
you more news Of immediate interest
than the New York or other distant
city papersi IL talks Cor you when
Others speak nothing in your favor
when other localities belle you, Il
stands up for your rights; you al
ways have champion in your home
paper, and those who stand up for
you should certainly be well sustain
ed. Your interests are kindred and
equal, and rise or Gall together.
Therefore il Is TO yonr interest tosup-
port your home paper--not grudging'
ly, but in a liberal spirit; as o pleas.
ant, not as a disagrecable duty; ss NJ
investment that will amply repay che
expenditure. bafs r7a.
