Explanation NYnnted.

MEssRs EDIToRs:- | would like some
one of your numerous correspondents
to give some explanation of the follow
ing experiment, viz: 1t consists in four
persons lifting another one, extended on
the floor, to the hight of their heads, by
using only the fore finger of each hand.
1t is accomplished in the following
manner. The four range themselves
two on each side ofthe one to be lifted,
and each with his fore fingers joined lons
gitudinally. The person on the floor
folding his hands, extended on his body
and his feet crossed. Then at a given
word the four persons expel all the air
from the lungs through the mouth, at
the same time STOPPING simultaneously,
with their fingers extended for lifting,
then rising again they inhale as much
air as possible; this is repeated until
they stoop the third time, when with the
air expelled from the lungs they place
the fore fingers under the body of the
person, that is at the shoulders and
knees and with the slightest effort, be
can be raised as high as their hands
will reach, the person on the floor must
also expel and inhale, but contrary to
the others, that is, when they initiate
the lungs, he expels the air from his, 80
that when they lift, his lungs are infa-
ted as highly as possible, while theirs
are comparatively empty. The heaviest
of men may be raised in this manner
by very weak persons naturally.
A small close room is better for this
feat, as it prevents disturbance Of air
which is fatal to the accomplishment Of
the experiment.

OUR PRESENT DUTY.
BY MRS. J. s. A.

The living-give them kind words and
loving deeds. Wait not to carve eulo-
gy upon the stone above their heads;
keep not back the merited word Of com
mendation while they dwell in flesh.
Too many, alas! too many shut the
door of their hearts till the loved one
has passed on; till the warm, loving heart
has ceased to beat, and the willing hand
is palsied in death Then the words
which should have cheered their souls
in life ripple over their graves-words
which, if given while they were with us
in the flesh, would have linked them to
our souls, and, now that they have ris-
en-, wou Id, like a chain of love, have
drawn us up to them. 1t is natural for
US TO idealize, and speak tenderly, low
ingly of those men call "the dead".
1t is refining, comforting, and as
suring to our souls to do so; but let us
remember that the kind word aud deed
TO the living to-day are better than any
eulOgy we may place upon the tombstone
we rear for them tomorrow.

NIGHT -FAII,.


SLOWLY, slowly up the wall
Steals the sunshine, steals the shade;
Evening damps begin to fall,
Evening shadows are displayed.
Round me, DER me, everywhere,
All the sky is grand with clouds,
And athwaTt the evening air
Wheel the swallows home in clouds.
Shafts of sunshine from the west
Paint the dusky windows red;
Darker shadows, deeper rest,
Underneath, and overhead.
Darker, darker, and more wan
In my breast the shadows fall;
Upward steals the life of man
AS the sunshine from the wall.
From the wall into the sky,
From the roof along the spire;
All, the souls of those that die
Are but sunbeams lifted higher.

The War in France.

Eight days ago the dispatches informed
us that Bazaine was closely hemmed in
at Metz. and that Mcmahon with his
army was in the vicinity of Chalons,
with the vigilant Prussian army, under
the Crown Prince, closely watching every
movement of the French The dis
patches are not as numerous as the sands
of the sea, but they are just numerous and
contradictory enough to prevent one from
cleaning clear knowledge of the situa-
iion. Dispatches have it that Bazaine is
yet at Metz, and at present cannot get
away. 1t is reported, too, that part of
the Prussian army has been Withdrawn
from before Metz and united to the one
commanded by the Crown Prince, who.
dispatches would have us believe, is
marching on toward Paris. No obstacle
lies in the way to Paris for the Prince,
for McMahon, instead of throwing his
columns in the way of the Prussian army
and opposing its progress, refused battle
when offered by the Grown Prince, and
moved off, first northward, then east
ward toward Belgium, going from Paris
instead of towards it This movement,
it is believed, is for the release of Ba-
zaine. 1t is bold one, and bespeaks
confidence for McMahon. What effect
this retrograde movement of the French
will have upon the operations of the Grown
Prince remains to be seen. 1t is scarcely
probable that McMahon, even if united
with Bazaine, could overcome the Prus-
sian forces in the vicinity of Metz
Should this, bGwever, be the case the
position of the Grown Prince would in
deed become a serious one, for the vic
torious French would cut his lines of
communication and come upon his rear.
We apprehend no such result how
ever. The Prince, late dispatches state,
is at St. Dizier, and McMahon's army is
near Stenay and Montmedy. A large
Prussian force is also reported in that
vicinity. We also have rumors of great
battle from that quarter.

The Democracy on the "Nhite Mans
PARTY"

The Democracy is encouraged by the
result of the election in North Carolina
E.eading Democrats are using their in.
huence to stop the cry for white
mans party" Leading Democratic
papers are turning in the same direc-
iion. The New York World asks its
Democratic patrons to abate or cease
the cry for white mans party. Jour
mails of Tennessee, of the Deuscratic
kind, are also abandoning the cry. The
Memphis 4calanche, of that State, de-
nounces the policy and the language en-
ployed to bolster it, as mere blackguard
ian, polutiug the columns of the journals
that condescend to the common phrase
ology; and it is also severe on Brick
Pomeroy for his course on the question
of the white mans party" 1t is time
that the sensitive Republicans, who are
snid to be affected by this cry, also aban-
don it. There is nothing in it but an
old Democratic dodge. 1t is an old pill,
re-worked and sugar coated with the
phrase, "a white mau's party Don't
take it !; don t touch it,
The Memphis AralancAe thus speaks
of the advocates of the White Man
Party
The party in the North clinging to the
belief that the results of the war will
ever be reversed is too small to take into
account. 1t scarcely equals corporal's
guard in any one State. 1t is not repre-
sented by a single journal or politician of
influence. Its representatives are the
Brick Pomeroys and the Henry Clay
Deans, leaders without followers, repre- /
sentatives without constituencies. Henry
Clay Dean still talks of the Divine right
and re-establishment of slavery, threatens
another revolution. and denounces all
other platforms as Radical. His test of
Democracy is eternal warfare against the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, to |
be enforced by more bloodshed, if neces-
sary. He is in perfect accord with the
Southern Radical Democracy.
Don't touch the White Mans Party.
