The Failures in she nimaIavas.

DIR. Andrew Leith Adams, in his
"Wanderings ofa Naturalist in India, "
writes as follows of the vultures and
other rapacious birds in the Hima-
layas
Amid all the grandeurs Of the Him
alayas, it is most attractive sight to
the naturalist to behold the vultares
and other rapacious birds soaring over
the vast ravines and around the tops
of the mighty mountains. Let him
choose summer evening, with that
clear blue sky almost characteristic of
the Himalayas, and just as the sun
casts its last rays on the snow-clad
mountains-when tho quiet is only
broken by the cry Of the eagle, the
bleat Of the goat, or the shrill pipo OF
the black partridge--then the vul-
lures, kites, jackdaws, may be seen
wheeling in vast circles; some are
gliding along, apparently without an
effort, others appear suspended mo.
tionless in the vast canopy of heaven I;
while careering in his majesty, the
lammergeyer gathers up his great
wings and swoops downwards, may
hap to rise again and join the medley
he has just left, or stretching forth
his pinions TO theig, Gll8. 8.'nf,ySe 20 the
satlSelang gififm fmSS2nSWaRIHIc 81 Which 1 his eyrio
stands safe, for there who dare assail
him After bear or other large
animal is killed, the hunter soon finds
himself surrounded by rapacious birds,
where none were seen before they
are observed dashing down the glens,
and sailing in circles around his quar-
ry. Some sweep within few yards
of him, others are soaring at higher
elevations, and over at such vast alti.
tudes that the huge bearded vulture
appears only as speck in the blue
sky, but gradually il becomes more
distinct as its wide giratons increase.
1t may gather itself up and close its
wings, or dash in one full swoop hun
dreds of feet, and the next instant is
seen perchcd on the jutting rock be-
side him. Such, then, are the usual
appearances observed soon after the
death Off large animal, and the hunter
wonders whence all these great vul.
lures and earrion crows have come !;
but if, Immediately after his noble
ibex has rolled down the crag, he
directs his eye heavenward, he will
observe carrion crows or vultures, at
various distances and elevations, sail
ing leisurcly about, whilst the one
nearest him, observing the death Of
his quarry, instantly commences to
descend; then one follows the other
until the valley resounds with the
hoarse croaking of the crows, and the
air seems alive with them. 1t is sur
prising the numbers that are some
times observed to congregate on these
occasions i have seen no less than
sixty vulturos and crows on and
around the carcass of newly-killed
bear.

.nr. Lincofm's Loyaisy.

The friends Of the 'late lamented,'
those who persist in according TO him
more patriotism and Nrtue than even
Washington possessed, have recently
discovered by an official statement OF
the worldly affairs Of the great martyr
at the time of his "taking OFF" that
he was in the blissful possession Of
Government bonds to the amount Of
about eighty thousand dollars and
they point to the fact as still another
evidence Of his groat loyalty. When
we take into consideration the fact
that the bonds in question are subject
to no taxation whatever, and that the
ldboring community are taxed exorbi-
tantly to pay an interest in gold equal
to nine per cent on the loyal Lincoln's
bonds, it becomes a question with us
as to who is the loyal mamie who
boasts of and measures his loyalty by
the amount of his bonds, or he who
submits quietly to inordinate taxation
that the Government may be enabled
to pay such loyal leeches an interest
in gold. We doubt whether Mr. Lin
coin would have died possessed of
Government bonds to the amount Of
one dollar, had they been subject, like
otherproperty, TO taxation. Tho true
patriot stops not to count the cost Of
his patriotism, but freely gives his
accumulated wealth, however great
or small, for the defence of his coun-
try. How many such patriots can we
boast of in the late conflict ? The
truly loyal men were those who stood
by the Constitution, every article of
which was repudiated by our Radical
rulers, and outside of which Mr. Ste
vens boasts Of acting; and the day is
not far distant whom the people, who
have been duped and misled, will so
declare from one end OF the continent

Concerning Man.

Wonders at homo by familiarity
cease to excite astonishment but
hence it happens that many know but
little about the "house we live in''-
the human body. We look upon the
house from the outside just as whole
or unit, never thinking of the many
rooms the curious passages, and the
ingenious internal arrangements Of
the house, or of the wonderful struc-
ture Of the man, the harmony and
adoption OF all its parts.
In the human skeleton, about the
time Of maturity, are l65 bones.
The muscles are about 500 in mum
ber
The length Of the alimentary canal
is about 81 fect.
The amount of blood in an adult
averages 80 pounds, or full one fifth
of the entire weight
The heart is six inches in length
and four inches in diameter, and beats
seventy times per minute, 4,200 times
per hour, 100, 500 times per day.
35,772, 600 times per year, 2,565, ,440,
900 times in three score and een, and
at each beat two and half ounces Of
blood are thrown out of il, and one
hundred and seventy five ounces pei
minute, six hundred and fifty-six
pounds per hour, seven and three
fourths tuns per day All the blood
in the body passes through the heart
in three minutes. This little organ

lifts the enormous weight of $40, ,700,-
200 tuns.
The lungs will contain about one
gallon of air, at their usual degree of
imitation. We breathe on an average
POO times per hour, inhale 500 gal
Ions of air, or "a, 400 gallons per day.
The aggregate surface of the air cells
of the lungs exceeds 10000 square
inches, an area very nearly equal to
the floor Of a room twelve feet square.
The average weight of the brain Of
of an adult male is three poands and
eight ounces, of a female two pounds
and four ounces. The nerves are all
connected with it, directly or by the
spinal marrow These nerves, togeth.
er with their branches and minute
ramifcations, probably exceed 100.

The skin is composed of three Law

one-eighth Of an inch in thickness.
Its average area in an adult is estima-
ted TO be 1000 square inches. The
