Wholesome Advice.

The Alexandria Aduertiser says With
the subsistence of interests in the Presidential
contest VIII come to us in Virginia struggle
far more momentous than that ID which the
party leaders of this State elected to take no
part. The Constitution recently adopted at
Richmond will doubtless shortly be passed to
a vote. Had the conservatives of Virginia
organized for the Presidential campaign, even
though their votes were not counted, yet they
would now have had compact and disciplin-
ed political organization with which to meet
the we'll organized Loyal Leagues whose
strength is about to be put forth in support
of the proposed constitution. 1t IS, however,
not yet too late to organize. Better late than
never.

mence the erection of a woolen mill, and

to be hoped that the people of Walla Walla
will not be outdid by their La Grando neigh

thing that will rid place of bed bugs would
make fortune by bringing it to this place.
Can't somebody bring out genuine bed bug

the "genuine exterminator," we ask him to

HUMAN PETRIFACTIoNs.-An ingenious
Italian savant has discovered means by
which human flesh can be petrifed and made
to assume the characteristics of stone A
writer describes visit to Professor Marini,
the inventor of the system, and says:
He showed us petriied livers of human be.
ings and animals, petrifed medal of Garibaldis
blood, petri6ed rabbit, etc etc. strike them
with hammer, and they give the ring of stone,
and, like stone, they break into fragments if hit
hard enough but they are not as cold as stone,
and, If you hold light behind them, they are
transparent at the edges. AS bis last specimen,
the professor uncovered small table standing
IN the middle ofthe room, which, to all appears
ances, was made Of Florentine mosaic encrusted
in the ordinary cement Pointing to the bright
red bits, he said That is human blood, that
3ullock's, that fowls. Those purple bits are
liver those, lights; those, lungs that is bile
the cement Of the whole is human braiu' We
laid our hands on this extraordinary couglomeN
ration and found it less cold than marble, but to
the touch Of the hammer il gave forth a similar
sound"

ing expedition. He first Struck lie in South
Carolina, where he was tax.gatherer for a
while. But the people there had been so
impoverished 5y Sickles that the siealings
were not satisfactory so he pushed on furthr
er South, and arrived in Florida just in sea-
son to be caught up by the negroes and
made Governor for four years, with a salary
Of $1,000 year.

MODERN IDEA OF PRoTECTIoN.-1t is

St. Helens, Oregon, c" ronte to the East,
enclosing Harney an order for him to report
to St. Louis, and with leave to decline the
order, and Harney's reply, declining to go,
is rich reading. Scott made the MassachH>
sets bis head quarters, and we believe, did
not condesend to visit Gen. Harney, at Van
cOuver, and his correspondence with Gov.
Douglas, and all his movements were highly
stately. Nature gave Scott noble presence
and great dignity, and with all his faults and
weaknesses, he was one of the great products
of our country, and his mission to this coast
forms an interesting and characteristic chap
ter in his eventful life.
Whether the arrangement of Scott left the
Island exclusively under military rule, or
partly military and partly civil, has been a
question of doubt, and hence questions of
conflict have arisen between the civil and
military authorities, and complaints made by
our citizens of hard treatment at the hands
of the military. Since the publication of
this pamphlet, we notice letter of Secretary
Stewards 10 the Secretary of War, of date
July Is, 1868, wherein Seward says, for
reasons of high public expediency, the occu-
patton of the Island is exclusively military,
which would seem 10 settle the question
against the existence of civil law on the
Island. 1t is hardly creditable to the GovN
ernment to have lett the Island in this posis
tion for over twenty years, and justice to our
citizens now on San Juan, and those who
may go there, demands the settlement of this
question and the substitution of civil law for
the military rule, SO justly repugnant to a
free people.

The SPONDULIX.-Any amount of money
is ready in this Valley to bet on the election
Of Seymour and Blair, but thus far Grants
admirers fight shy. We have heard of one
OF the black species offering to bet on Yer.
mont but when it came to the general re-,
suit, he had ccnscienscious scruples about
betting on elections" The policy of the
radicals is to talk loud and long, but when
1t comes to "auteing they are not there.
We doubt whether there is a single man
among them that has any faith in the election
of Grant, and all their blowing is on the
principle Of the man who whistled to keep
his courage up.

THE CHINESE TREATY-Our readers are
already aware that Burliugame, the pet of the
radicals, has negotiated a treaty with our
Government that secures very great adyan-
tagcs to the moon-eyed celestials As we
understand the treaty, our citizens are grant
ed no more commercial or other privileges in
China than they previously possessed but
the Chinese are invested with all the privi-
leses in this country enjoyed by other foreign
ers' That is, they may live, do business,
and hold property anywhere in the country,
become citizens, and take part in our politics.
They are invested with all the privileges en-.
Joyed by citizens, except those Of voting and
holding offices, and these privileges are opcu
to them while Americans are invested with
no privileges in China. In pursuance with
the provisions Of this treaty, the next tb;no
VIII be to confer the right of suffrage on ~
ignorant, degraded Chinamen, who now in,
lest the country, tha, is, provided thew viii
engage to vote the radical ticket.

The INTERNAL REGIoNs.-It has long
been a theory with philosophers, that the
centre of the earth is a mass of fire and mol
ten matter. The following from the Vir,
ginia Enterprise seems to indicate the cor
rectness of the theory:
The increase n the heat of our mines is now
beginning to give many of our Mining Compan-
les more trouble, and is proving greater obstacle
to mining operations in those levels lying below
depth Of one thousand feet, than any veins or
pocket deposits Of water yet encountered. A
number Of the Mining Companies on the Com.
stock engaged F.sttiar IN ~ riuas to
be used expressly for driving fans for furnishing
air to the lower levels, forcing it through large
tubes of galvanized iron. With this great in-
crease of heat in our mines comes a great de-
crease of water in fact, in our deepest mine
the Bullion-which has obtained depth of twelve
hundred feet, not a drop of water is to be seen ;
it is as dry as lime-kiln and hot as an oven
In the lower workings of the Chollar- P Potosi
mine, which are perpendicular depth of eleven
hundred feet below the surface, the thermometer
now stands at one hundred degrees frightful
heat to be endured by human being engaged
In kind of labor calling for severe muscular
eXertion. Here, also, we find the water to have
decreased till there is at the present time a
very Insignificant amount, it being at present
necessary to run the pump but four hours out of
the twenty'four We might give other instances
illustrative and corroborative of what we have
stated, but deem the evidence afforded BY two of
our deepest mines, situated some considerable
distance apart, sufficient"

y LATE DIscovERY.-The radical papers
are parading a hotel bill of General Blair's,
as showing that the gallant soldier does not
altogether cschcw the use of wine. This
may be all fair enough, but it will strike the
candid reader as somewhat strange that the
radicals never made this discovery as long as
General Blair trained in their camp. As the
leader Of the radical hosts in Missouri, Gen.
Blair was a model of propriety; as a demo
cratic candidate, his habits are intolerable.
Consistency, thou art a jewel"

The SLANG WHANG STYLE.-The La
Crosse Democrat has score or two of WELL
meaning admirers in this county. Indeed,
we have a most amiabe friend who has con.
lributed more than any one else to give Brick
POmerOy circulation in this county. For
his benefit as well as of others, who have
been betrayed into patrOnizing the "slang
Whang" style of literature, we append the
following criticism, taken from one of the
ablest OF our democratic exchanges:
p" If the principles and objects of the demos
cratic party are good for anything, they certain
~ deserve to be properly advocated and placed
before the people, The La Crosse Democrat
tactics do not tend to convert any one to the
principles Of democracy on the contrary, it
serves to disgust many with them. Those who
adopt the La Crosse style injure the cause they
pretend to advocate, and degrade politics as
well as insult common sense. Very many longs
headed politicians shrewdly surmise that the La
Crosse Democrat is in the pay of the opponents
OF the democratic party. Certainly it is power
fui engine in their fAVori and il sets an example
in political polemics which cannot be proftably
followed BY the partisan organs of any political
organization"
