Curious STk TkTIsTICs.-ProfessO A. B.
Gould. from statistics derived from the reg
ister of tive and a half millions of men in the
United States army, has brought out the fact
that men attain their maximum stature
much later than is generally supposed
THIS takes place commonly at twenty nine or
thirty years of age; but there are frequent
instances of growth at thirty-five. After
thirty FIVE, the stature subsidies in smaller
proportions, partly perhaps, from the con-
densation of the cartilages, partly because of
the great change of the angle of the hip bone,
The age for maximum stature comes earliest
to the tallest men, as if il were the necessity
of unusual development. Foreigners are
shorter than men of native birth. The.hight
of men seems to depend upon the place of en-
hstment. A Massachusetts man enlisted in
Iowa. was an inch taller than it be had staid
ut home. As we 60 west men grow taller.
.One man measured more than six feet ten
inches Out of 600 900 men there were
10000 who measured more than six feet
four inches t1 but the men Of stature do
not wear well. In Maine men reach the
greatest hight at twenty seven, in New
Hampshire at thirty-fve, in Massachusetts at
twen,y-nine. in New Jersey at thirty one =
The tallest men of sixty nine inches come
froJa Iowa. Maine, Vermont, Ohio. Indiana.
Minnesota and Missouri, give us men little
over sixty eight inches and the average If
all shows the Americans to be a very tall

WHAT TnE NEVADA MOUNTAINS ARE GooD
FORA correspondent of the San Francisco
Call writes as follows concerning the useful
ness of the Nevada Mountains:
Without the Sierra Nevada range Cali
fornia. with her present climate would be
aninhabitablc in Summer. Not drop of
water reaches the valleys in that season that
does not come from the melted SHOWS and
eShaustless reservoirs of the. Sierras If
they were not lofty, their highest peaks
would be incapable of holding snow through
the Summer, and the thousand tinkling
rills which are now found in them, and
which, united, make the Yuba. San Joa
quin, Feather, American and Sacramento
rivers would all be wanting. And if we
had not these rllls and rivers, what would
become of navigation. of hydraulic mining
and of agriculture? Where too, would we
find any timber if we had not the Sierras?
In them is found also all the mother veins Of
gold quartz, out of which, by some unknown
process. all the gold of our placer mines has
found its way. The land in the valleys,
without the water from the Sierras, might be
powerful to produce. but so long as 1.-THE
great fruetitying principle-was absent, the
natural marriage of earth and water. which
results in fields of waving grain, could not
ne consummated, and California would be

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco quacks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus sworn to certificates dupe
the unwary. Some of the self-styled doctors
whose names are to he found in the daily and
weekly newspapers of San francisco and other
places. are radesmen and became too lazy to work
at their trades. Some tinsmiths, shoemakers
newspaper carriers, intelligence Office keepers, &C.
Look over the San Francisco directory and you
will not find their Medical Institutions in it. Look
at the Directory for 1862 and 1868. The only way
to avoid imposition is to make nquiry-it will cost
you nothing, and may save you many regrets for
as advertising physicians in eight eases out of ten
are bogus, there is safety in trusting anv of
them until you know who and what they are. Dr.
Gibbon docs not deceive people by exhibiting bogus
titles certificates, pretended patients letters. &c.
Dr. Gibbon will satisfy persons who may call at
his office of his ability to treat diseases that he
proposes to cure.

The Case Well Stated.

Ex Governor Horation Seymour ad
dressed a large meeting at Bridgeport
Conn. last week. From bis speech We
make the following extract, and ask fo'
it the attention of every reader:
Il ventured TO ask to day very intel
ligent man, whose position in lie is proof
OF his capacity and sagacity, how much |,
would cost the laboring man, or how
many hours laboring man would have
to toll in order to support himself if he
had no such thing as taxation: if, for cx
ample, working man could procure hi:
food and clothing at first cost, how many
hours he would have to toll to support
himself and the answer was, six hours,
which we may consider very fair esti
mate. Now, you are to remember how
much the cost of every thing is multi
Piled by taxation in It's various forms
Now. all labor above six hours is put up
on you by the tax-gatherer. 1t is put
upon you by the policy of the Govern
ment. OF course we can not lift the load
of taxation altogether from the people,
You cannot reduce the hours of labor 70
six hours per day but tell you. those
ofyou who toll in the workshops, when
you have labored your six hours, when
you are beginning to feel your arms
weary, and you desire either mental oc
cupation or enjoyment with your families
the tax gathercr comes in and says: No
we own four hours Of your labor yet
you must pay tqem to US | Applause.
Now ! ask you, laboring men, can yol
afford all that in order that these gentle
men may amusc themselves with theil
policy of Southern reconstruction 2"

Mr.. Chase under Suspicion.

L
The Philadelphia Ace thus speaks Of
the situation of Mr.. Chase
1t illustrates the Radical impatience OF
even the common forms of justice, tina,
Mr. Chase has already incurred the sus.
picion ofh his party. The Radical organs
now style him "an ally ofthe President; >
Forneys Press insinuates that he is seek
ing Democratic nomination! We see
nothing that Mr.. Chase has done to incul
censure nor do we see that he has done
anything to call for special praise. gai
| Mr. Chases action thus far has really
been so purely formal that it affords NO
indication of the course he will pursue
upon the trial He stands on pinnacle,
on which he is seen by all the world
When all the impeachers are forgotten,
he will be remembered as the first Chief
Justice who sat in judgment on Presi.
dent of the United States. No man has
more ofcharacter at stake in the case than
he has-not even the accused. Much of
the great reputation of John Marshall
was made in one State trial Judicial i'm
partiality, in ordinary cases, is too CON-
mon an attribute to win any renown,
though the lack of it would deserve in.
fanny Aaron Burr, when he appeared
for trial before Chief Justice Marshall,
was the most unpopular man in America
He had recently killed, in duel, the bril-
liant leader of the Federalists, Alexander
Hamilton. Hamilton and Marshall had
BEEN, in the war Of revolution and the
war Ofpolitics, intimate and warm friends.
BY singular fate, Burr, by his rivalry
with Mr.. Jefferson, the leader of the
Democracrats, had incurred his enmity
He it was who, as President, caused
Burrs arrest, and urged his conviction,
on the charge Of treason. History has
cleared the fame Of Burr Of this imputa-
ton but, at the time, nothing saved him
from conviction but the stern integrity
Of MARSHALL, who saw before him, not the
detested murderer Of his friend. not the
object OF the two great PARTIES hate, but
only citizen, guiltless Of the particular
crime imputed to him, and asking jnstice.
In vain the able array Of counsel for the
government urged Marshall to sanction
their doctrine of" constructive treason"
with all its train of consequences drawn
from the English law. He condemned
it; and in charge SO luminous and con-
vincing, directed the acquittal Of Burr,
that the jury, scarcely concealing their
desire to convict, sullenly rendered YER
dict of, "not proved by any evidence, in
stead of the common form mot guilty.
Mr. Chase may emulate, he may sur
pass, the example of his great predeces-
sor, for the present case far surpasses in
importance the case to which we have al
luded But in the formal preliminaries
thus far we see, as we have said, no cause
for blame, and as little cause for special
admiration or approval, in anything
which Mr.. Chase has done. -3i.1"u'

The Negroes Capacity for Gov erning

The following is an extract from a
speech of the Hon. ID. W. VooRHEE, of
Indiana, made at Middletown, Connect
cut, during the late canvass in that State :
"The negroes have not shown any ca.
pacity for governing the Southern States,
nor any other section ofcountry. Their
capacity for governing has been tested in
Liberia under the auspices Of our own
government, aud surrounded by the most
favorable circumstances. They had no
thing to do but to develope their high
powers and provr their ability to govein
themselves. But after fifty years Of trial,
they come to this country and ask Con
gress to luy them a gunboat to be used
in cruising upon the rivers Of Liberia, to
keep the Wild negroes from eating up the
tame ones Laughter and applause. |
Where are Liberals ships and steamers
She has furnished no evidences Of self
government, and the negroes there are as
they were at the beginning Of the expert.
ment The mingling of the white and
black races is forbidden by God; and its
deplorable results are plainly shown In
the wretched States of South America
and in miserable Mexico As well claim
equality OF powers among the beasts Of
the field and the fowls the air as to as
sert that the negro haspowers and capac
ity equal to those Of the white man. One
day an eagle came down from his lofty
evrie into a dard and shadowy wood.
There he saw an owl, sitting on stump,
blinking at the rays of sunlight which
flickered through the branches, Says
the eagle to the owl 7" Brother, why do
you sit here all the day, in this gloomy
and lonesome wood You are a noble
bird, with wings and feathers you look
like me- come, ay out into the light, up
ward toward the sun, where the air pure
and the breeze is bracing soar out into
cerulean dome of heaven, and be my com.
panion in all my fights "Ah" says
the owl, ~ can't 1y thus and the sun.
light will blind me-" But I will edu-
cate you to do it, replies the eagle.
Laughter Being strenuously. urged,
the owl makes the attempt, but after pro.
ceeding awhile his strength fails Then
the eagle offers to take the owl upon his
back, and bear him aloft--raise him up
until he becomes able to sustain himself.
The owl mounts on the eagles back, and
the eagle continues his upward flight. At
first he proceeds very well but the owl
grows heavier and heavier as the ground
recedes, until ut last the eagle Is forced
to admit that he cant carry his brother
owl any further, and wishes to be rid Of
him. But now the owl refuses to get of,
lsno wing that he can't keep himself up in
the air SO he sticks TO the eagle--sticks
to him like brother-until both fall to
the earth and are dashed to pieces. SO
will it be with the eagle race Of men in
its experiment Of carrying the negro
above the sphere for which he was made,
The negro finds that he was not designed
to move in the sphere of government.
But the Radicals convert him into n
Frecdmens Bureau and seek to elevate
him by putting him on the backs of the
Northern taxpayers. The attempt, how
ever will fail, and II persisted in will de-
stroy the usefulness and prosperity Of
both races
