For THE TRIBUNE.


THEORIES Us FAcTs.-EDEoR TRI-
BUNE.-Theories, no matter how much
idolized by feebly developed intellects, or
dwelt upon by the superficial, establish
nothing; and when not supported by
facts, must inevitably sink beneath the
oblivious wave of times changeable and
ever changing scenes. Hence, invariably
those who have favorite theory to sus-
tain, darling pet to nurse and per-
retuate, are usually men Of no caliber,
little science, and less sense. Such
men, Astounding in egotism and IN
te.se,y scientific, with no accurate esti-
mate OF themselves or just conceptions
of others, actuated and controlled only
by prejudice based upon misconceptions
and their conceat of superiority incom-
patible with further Improvement, dash
along through the world perfectly obliv-
ious to real existences, blindly following
the visions of their misguided magma
tons, and die without benefit either to
themselves or those around them.
But the idea of non-medical men with
medical theories, non-legal men with
legal opinions, or men IMMERSED in cleo
trcal science with theories involving cleo
tricity, is still more ridiculous, and needs
no comment. And yet, how frequently
do we see men, often at the peril of
health, pecuniary interest, or even life
itself, and occasionally against the opin
ions of safe advisers, assuming to be
judges themselves and acting upon their
own decisions in matters of which they
have no knowledge, and indulging in
vain and foolish specuations about pre-
tended Systems" 'isms," and ''pa7
thics," that exist only as a chimera of
the brain or air-castlc, and have no
substance or real foundation. Indeed
the credulity of some is really astonish-
ing, if not unlimited; and it is charac-
teristic of many eagerly to endorse nov
elites with scarcely semblance of truth,
and admit pretended claims unquestioned
and without investigation. But although
exceedingly wise on all subjects. and of
ten wise beyond all others and beyond
what is known, truth never emanates
from such sources, as their favoritc theo-,
ries, (often in conflict with facts not
seen,l which must be preserved at all
hazards, even at the expense or sacrifice
of science and truth, stand in the way.
But facts, irrespective of any theory they
may or may not sustain, which alone can
benefit mankind and rid the world of er-
ror, are emphatically desaderatuna, and
invariably the logical deductions Of rea-
son untrameled by theories and unfetter-
ed by servitude to pets of any kind
whether fancied or otherwise, in a word,
a reason trained and Injured to correct
intelligent, generous, and unbiased
thought x.

AS will be seen by reference to the
proceedings of the Village Board the
chances for having an artesian we'll on
the north side are rather slinr. The one
in Washington Park was failure, and

hope this will not be the last effort TO-

to the beauty of our town.

Ninety years hence, not a single man or
woman, now twenty years OF age, will
be alive. Ninety years Alas how
many of the lively actors at present on
the stage of life will make their exit long
ere ninety years shall have rolled away
And could we be sure Of nine y years,
what are they GA tale that is told y

on the wings of the wind away, and is
forgotten. Years shorten as man adj
vances in age Like the degrees IN
longitude, mans life declines as he
travels towards the frozen pole, until it
dwindles to point and vanishes forever.
Is it possible that life is of so short
duration ? Will ninety years Grace all
the golden names over the doors in
town and country,and substitute others
in their stead Will all the new, bloom
ing beauties fade and disappear, all the
pride and passion, the love, hope and
JOY, pass away in ninety years and be

CHLoRoFoRMrNG OF BEEs.-Chloro-
form is now extensively used in England
and without injurious results, to stupe-
fy bees, so as to remove the honey.
For this purpose table is set about
ten feet from the hive, and covered
with cloth. Some chloroform about
q quarter of sixth of an ounce is
then poured into shallow dish and
covered with wire gauze to prevent
the bees from falling into it. The hive
is then removed from it's stand and set
over the chloroform. In about twenty
minutes all the bees will have fallen
down on the table in state of stupe
faction, not one remaining in the comb,
the hive and the bees are restored to
their place, the latter soon recovering
without suffering the slightest inconve-
nience.
