Scientific men are making progress in
their knowledge of metorites 1t has re-
Gently been found that three metoric mass
es, which fell at great distance from one
another, were closely related A mass of
metoric iron and stone found in the Cor
dilleras OF Chill, proved on examination
to be Identical in structure with mass OF
iron which fell at Caile, in the Alps, and a
mass OF stone at Setif, in Algeria. This
connection is thought to establish two new
facts first, that some metorites are emp
ty rocks, now proved for the first time
second, that the stone and iron have been
together in the process of qualification.
NJ. Stanislos Meunier, of the Museum
Of Natural History in Paris, has under
taken to gencralize from these and other
facts, and to PROFOUND the following the +
ory
Metortes are fragments of one or more
heavenly bodies which have, at period
comparatively recent, revolved round the
earth. No traces of their fall are found
in the tertiary strata, or below them. They
have parted with all their original heat, as
the moon is rapidly doing, and have reach
ed a stage of molecular action where the
disruptive forces overpower the cohesive,
and have fallen to pieces, the fragments
naturally arranging themselves in concen-
trio zones, according to their relative dem
sity. JHeet
The attraction of the earth gradually
prevails over the centrifugal force, on ac-
count of the resistance of the medium
through which they move, and they fallto
the earth. Formerly the heavier frag-
ments nearest the centre fell, composed of,
iron. Now the stone fragments are fall
ing. Possibly, by and by, may come fiag-
ments resembling our crystalized rocks or
stratiiied beds, 1t is curious fact that
formerly no stones fell, but only iron now
iron is rare and stones are abundant. 81
NJ. Meunier thinks the metorites repre-
sent the process through which the whole
solar system is passing, from luminous to
non-lnminous bodies---to cold bodies, to
worlds falling to pieces, and drawn within
the attraction of some living centre-and
he predicts that our earth will repeat their
history, and finally fall into the SUM-

You never hear Of q suicide in Mem
phis. When a man there gets tired OF
living he doesn't AVE TO walk more than
one or two squar before ne stumbles
over somebody who is anxlous TO kill
him. 1t is much tho better plan. Ii
spares the one man the crime of self
slaughter and affords the other what they
call down there an innocent qualification.
-GWTieT-JOarnGL.
That suicides occur in the dilapi-
dated town Of Louisville is not at all
surprising. The blood stagnates
where there is nothing to do, and
brings melancholy. Lively, young,
active business places, like Memphis
and San Francisco, have health, and
therefore no suicides; and they would
have fewer rascals if their dyspeptie
neighbor Louisville was not always
spewing them forth to escape famine.
Three-quarters of the crimes commit
ted in Memphis have come down the
river from that place, whose leading
lawyers have refused to prosecute
criminals, whose juries have set US
the example of acquitting murderers,
and which has sent us the most dis
tinguished duelist Of the continent to
teach US the use Of the sword, a Ia
mode the "code."

THE strength OF the German army

secondly, of IS7, 900 reserve, with 23l
guns and $4,000 cavalry; and thirdly,
of 205, 600 Landwehr, with 10000 cav
alry-making a grand total Of 944, 900
men, with 1880 modified guns and

The following is Father Hyacinthe's
letter asking to be assigned to duty on
the defenses of Paris: "Monsieur LIE
Maire-The spirit and law of the
church forbids a priest from taking up
arms except in moments of extreme
danger to the country. That danger,
if France should not be spared from
it, will certainly find all;,those who are
not bound by any obligations sacred
to that Office, faithful to their duty as
citizens upon the rampartS. In the
meantime there is no reason why we
should not assist in the national de-
tense by the use of the pick and shovel.
Please TO direct me to what place I
must 60, in order to take part in the
earthWOrks and Qualifications now
proceeding Tor the defense of Paris.
From tomorrow after mass / hold
myself at your orders"
Conway, the wal correspondent of
the New York World, tells of his in
terview with Bismarck in the follow
ing paragraph:
Where are you from?" he asked.
L said, I'VE are Americans, and are
writing for the press in that country"
lie then said, "You are welcome. We
are very glad to have American wri-
tiers among us, and with our army.
The only thing that the authorities
and officers will expect from you will
be proper papers of Iegitfmation.
You have these. Very well, then the
freedom of every thing will be accor-
ded to you. The only thing we al
not promise you is transportation for
ward. You see we are very much
crowded with a vast army in an enc
my's country. You will have, gentle
men, to depend upon yourselves for
moving forward; but for every thing
else, for all the help and protection
you require you have only to come to
us here.p After some conversation of
a general kind, which 1 can not re-
peat here, the Count shook hands
with us and we departed. The
King, also, who had been from
the first leaning from his window,
and could not have helped hearing,
bowed to us and waved his hand.

sort of collecting by distress, there

plunderers, which will be almost, II
not quite fnsurrectionary. We do
not envy the Radical tax collectors
their task; they will meet with noth-
ing ssbut -excOriation from -a-sufier-

One of Alcorn's magistrates, not far
away, thus summed up the evidence
in a case before him. 1t reminds us
of DR.. S-w's story of BleWis and
the military commission that used to
plumber the people of Memphis. The
learned justice said: 81 think, from
the testimony in this case, that the
defendant is clearly innocent of the
charges preferred against him, but in
order that | may be surerHof getting
my cost in this case, / am advised
that it would be better to bind the de-
fendant over to court in the sum of
two thousand dollars" 3.
The West Point Herald describes q
wild negro who frequents the swamps

"And the VOLTS long howl from Onalas-
ka's Shore"
He has already destroyed a young
child, and the head and chest of its
hapless mother, and not at all satis-
fed with this repast, he has pursued
several freedmen with savage fury,
who were supposed to be in the bot
tom hunting beef or hog meat.

The Kidneys are two in number, situated
at the upper part OF the Ioln. surrounded by
fat, n consistip OF three parts, viz: the An
terror, the interior, and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of
tissues or veins, which serve as a deposit for
the urine and convey it to the exterior. Tiss
exterior is a conductor, also, terminating in
a single tube, aud called the Urster. The
ureters are connected with the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various cover
ings or tissues, divided into parts, viz: the
Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mu-
cous. The upper expels, the lower retains.
Many have a desire TO urinate without III
ability; others urinate without the ability TO
retain. This frequently occurs in children.
To cure these affections. we must bring into
action the muscles, which are engaged in
their functions. II they a~re,negIected, Grave
or Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that

as our flesh and blood are supported from
these sources.
GoUT, OR RHEuMATIsM.-Pain occurring In
the loins is indicative of the above diseases.
They occur in persons disposed to acid stom-
ach and chalky coneretions.
THE GRAvEL--The gravel ensues from neg
Iect or improper treatment of the kidneys
These organs being weak, the water is not
expelled from the bladder, but allowed to re-
main; it becomes feverlsh, and sediment
forms. It is from this deposit that the stone
is formed. and gravel ensues.
DRoPsY is a collection of water N some
parts Of the body, and bears different names,
according to the parts affected. viz: when
generally diGused over the body, it is called
Anasarca; when of the abdomen, AscItes;
when of the chest, Hydothorax.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. highly coRcen-
trated compound Extract Buchu Is decidedly
one OF the best remedies for diseases of the
bladder, kidneys, gravel, dropsicaI sw,ellings,
rheumatism and equity affections. Under
this head we have arranged Dysuria, o. diff
Guilty and pain in passing water, scanty Sc
erection, or small and frequent discharges of
water; Strangury, or stopping of water;
Hematurla, or bloody urine; GOut and Rheu-
matlsm Of the kidneys, without any change
in quantity, but increase IL color, or dark
water. 1t was always highly recommended
by the late DR.. Physick, in these affections.
This medicine increases the power of d.
and excites the absorbents into
exercise, by which the watery or
dispositions, and all unnatural TN
as well as pain and inhamn Ia
ton, are reduced, and it is taken by M IN,
women and children. Directions for use and
