illumination of the Body.

When persons are talked of as having
obtained illumination" no one suppos-
es that the remark is to be understood
literally; as if the illuminated individual
were brilliantly lit up internally with
candles or gas in the manner of town
during times of public rejoicing. Hence
forth, however, when we speak of men 8
enlightenment or illumination, it will be
necessary to state whether the words are
used literally or by way of metaphor
A Russian physician has discovered a
method of SO using the electric light
that the whole interior of the human
machine may be observed, 'salmost," it
is said, "as if skin and flesh were trans
parent" A few weeks since, DR.. Milo,
the inventor in question, who is cele-
brated surgeon of Kieff, lcctured at St.
Petersburg on this astonishing distof-
cry he has made. In demonstration of
the feasibility Of his process he placed
a bullet in his mouth, and then caused
the electric light to shine full upon his
face, whereupen the bullet became dis
tinctly visible through his check. The
especial utility Of his discovery he con-
sidefs to be that foreign bodies, as hull:
cts, lodged in the flesh, can thus have
their whereabouts infallibly ascertained,
without the danger and martyrdom of
perpetual insertion of probes. DR.. Milo
further maintains that in cases where the
bullet contains the smallest admixture
of steel, he can provide for its extrat-
ton by the application Of magnetism.

A lady of Richmond, Va, thus discusses, a. Ia
Hamlet, the question of female suffrage:
To vote, or not to vote, that is the question:;
Whether It's nobler to forego the suffrage
And Beat The affows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against our sex's troubles.
And, by opposing end them? To live--to we'd
No more; and by marriage say we end
The heartache, only to nurse tho little ills
Women are heir to-'tis consummation
Not for Joseph, if the Court herself doth know,
And that she doth is most indubitable.
To vote-to act-to act, perchance, farce; ay,
There's the rub; f6f By this act What fights may
When we have shufiled off our crinoline?
Tais makes US pause; this, too, is the respect
That makes calamity of womsn's suffrage:
For who would bear the kicks and cuffs of men,
The oppressor's fists, our lords contumoly,
Assault and battery, and the laws delay;
The insolence of bummers, and the spurns
That patient women from rough loafers take,
When, to avoid it, she could stay at hsme
And ase her Bddkin? WHO would muskets
bear,
Or groan or sweat under mechanics life,
But for the pleasures Of Emahcipation--.
The rich Gelconda, from whose gaping jaws
The flesh pots yawn in tantalizing plenty9
But there's the afterclaps. This puzzles the
will,
And makes us rather bear the ills We have,
Than fly to the horrid inexpressibles
Thus cowardice makes babies of us all;
And thus our petted suffrage resolutions
Are sickened over with the pale cast of fear;
And enterprise of glorious Balldt.stufing
Must fade, alas, because our suffering sex
Dare not imbibe the sout-inspiring rye
To give us vim and action.

The Naturalization Bill.

!. The Radicals have decided to force
through Congress the Conkling Natural
ization Bill, which was debated in the
Senate the 25th ult and set for vote
on Saturday next, when it comes over to
the House. The previous question is to
be moved on it, but the Democrats are
forewarned. In the discussion yesterday
the Radicals threatened civil war if q
Democrat is elected President. "Sir, l
say here" said Mr.. Senator Drake,
that whenever the time comes that this
nation shall see clearly that the voice of
its legal voters has been overthrown by
this vote in the city of New York, then
a large portion Of tile voters will rise as
one man. and declare that the man cleo
ted to the Presidency by that fraudulent
vote shall never take his seat as such,
and then will come the first real civil war
in this country"
Bah! Drake sees by the political
signs that the Radical party is doomed
and is whistling TO keep his courage up.
Such blatherskites never fight, they do
the gassing; the late war is proof Of
that.

A Calculation for Taxpayers.

The Albany IN. W Argus presents
the taxpayers of the country with this
most agreeable calculation, by which
they can more. fully comprehend the
enormity Of the debt which oppresses
them:
The heart is sixinches and four tenths
in diameter, and beats 10 times per min
ute, 4,200 times per hour, 100000 times
per day, 1900 times per year, q
500, ,410, 600 in three score and ten. The
debt OF the tuuhtry resulting from the
war, being twenty-five hundred millions
of dollars, We can therefore make a
comparison or estimate by heart beats
of its stupendousness. Thus, were a
child capable at birth or commencing to
pay or count out dollar with every
beat. of his heart, and continuing count
ing day and night, without intermission,
until exhaustion, and three score years
and ten brought the welcome grave in
view, he would have only counted the
total sum by units. !

THE IVY GREEN.
BY CHARLES DICKENS.

Oh, dainty plant is the Ivy green,
That creepeth DER ruins old
vi right choice food arc his meals; wccn,
Inlis cell so lone and cold
The walls must be crumbled, the stones decayed,
To please his dainty whim.
And the moldoring dust that years have made
Is a merry meal for him.
Creeping where no life is seen,
A rare old plant is the Ivy green.
Fast he stealeth on, though he wears no wings,
And a staunch old heart has he!
How closely he twinetR how tight he clinys
To his friend, the huge oak tree!
And slyly he traileth along the ground;
And his leaves he gently waves,
As he ioyously hugs and crawleth round
The rich mold of dead mems graves.
Creeping where grim death has been,
A rare old plarst is the Ivy green.
Whole ages have fed and their works decayed,
And nations have scattered been;
But tho stout old Ivy shall never fade
From its hale and hearty green.
The brave old plant in It's lonely days,
Shall fatten upon the past;
For the stateliest building man can raise
Is the Ivy's food at last.
Creeping on, where time has been,
A rare old plants the Ivy green.

President Granfas Photographed
by the Man who Made Him.

A full confession has at last been ex-i
torted from the guilty individual who
inflicted Grant upon the people. 1t is
Chas. A. Dana, aid he makes clean
breast as follows:
AS for General Grant personally, we
have neither spite, grudge, nor revenge.
He never reused US any personal favor,
for we nevd easked anything Of him, save
only the appointment of Horace Gree
ley as Minister to England; and as he
sent man there who ish't half as fit for
the place as Mr.. Greeley, we have hover
borne him any grudge on that account
But toward Geuefal Grant as President,
we cherish a very profound feeling Of
disappointment and dissatisfaction
There wcrefcw men in the country who
had taken more stock in him than we
had. During the war, when he was dig
ging canals at Vicksburg, and was on
the point of being relieved from his
command, Mr.. Dana did what he could
to have him retained at the head of the
army in the Mississippi Valley and the
effort was successful. But for his agen-
CIV Grant would then have been sent
back to Galena; and IN that event he
could neither have become Commanders
Chief Of the army nor President of
the United States.
Next, when he was candidate for the
Presidency, we did what we could to Sc
cure for him the nomination of the Re-
publican National Convention; and tliefi
we helped to get him the votes of q ma
jority of the American people. All this
we did siihply because we thought it best
for the country; and all we demanded
of Gen. Grant was an honest, sensible,
disinterested, and patriotic admlnistra-
ton of his Office. Does anybody think
that was too much to expect of him.
But instead of this, his administration
is bad, foolish, weak, cowardly, corrupt
anti American, contemplate at home,
and more contemplate abroad. 1t is
impossible to speak the truth and deny
that this is so. 1t IS impossible for aid
Independent journalist, anxious to dis.
charge his obligations to the people, to
conceal or palliate facts so fearful and
so notorious.
The President is incomplete, lazy, meg
lectful of his duties, unable to compre-
hend them, and careless about perform
ing them. He appoints fieR ID bffite
simply because they have made him pres
ents, or are his relations, or because
some foolish caprice proiEpts 1t. He
degrades the country in the eyes of all
the world, and stands trembling like a
coward for fear of corrupt and bank
rupt power like Spain. The man who
saved the natibn as soldier is coteting
us with shame as President.

smallpox.

A great discovery is said to have re-
Gently been made by surgeon of the
British armHin China in the way Of an
effectual remedy for smallpox. The
mode of treatment is as follows: When
the preceding fever is at its height, and
just before the eruption appears, the
chest is rubbed with croton oil and tar
taric ointment. This causes the whole
of the eruption to appear on that part
of the body to the relief of the rest. 1t
also secures a full and completa Eruption;
and thus prevents the disease from at
tacking the internal organs. This is now
the established mode of treatment in the
English army in China, and is regarded
as perfect cure.
