Extraordinary Theory-Can Life
be Indefinitely Suspended.

A distinguished Swedish chemist, DR..
Grusselbach, a lessor Of the Univers-
ity of Upsal, has come TO the conclusion
that those Egyptian nummies which
are found in the ancient tombs on the
Nile in complete state-that is to say,
without having been deprived of their
brains and entrails, like most mummies
are not emhalmed at all, but ARE real
ly the bodies Of individuals whose life
has been momentarily suspended. with
the intention of restoring them at some
future time, only the secret Of preserva-
ton was lost. Professor Grusselbach
adduces many proofs in support of his
idea--among others, his experiments
during the last ten years, which, he
says, have always proved successful.
He took 4 snake and treated it iii such
manner as to benumb it as though it had
been carved in marble, and it was so
brittle that, had he allowed it to fall it
would have broken into fragments. In
this state he kept it for several years
and then restored it to life by sprink-
ling it with a stimulating fluid. the COM
position of which is secret. For fifteen
years the snake has been undergoing an
existence composed Of successive deaths
and resurrections, apparently without
Sus aiming marin. ne lfoiessoi Is re-
ported TO have sent petition to his
Government, requesting that q criminal
who has been condemned to death may
he given him to be treated in the same
manner as the snake, promising to re,
store him to life again in two years. 1t
is understood that the man undergoing
this experiment is to be pardoned.' OF
course, if man can be kept in a state
of suspended animation for two years,
he may be kept for two thousand years,
and, If the Professor succeeds, we may

poraries in the thirty-ninth century,

war, when they were beyond the protec-
ton of the Federal forces. While the
Confederate army pressed into its ranks
every white male capable of bearing
arms, the mothers, wives, daughters and
sisters of Southern soldiers were left de-
fens eless and in the power of the blacks,
upon whom the chains of slavery were
still riveted, and to bind these chains
still closer was the real issue for which
so much life and property was sacri-
feed. And now, sir, l ask, how did the
race act )? Did they, in those days Of
Confederate weakness and impotence,
evince the malignity of which we hear
so much ? Granting, for the sake of
argument, that they were ignorant and
besotted, which l do not believe; yet.
with all their supposed ignorance and
credulity, they in their way, understood
as fully az you or the awful import of
the contest. They knew that if the gal
liant corps of the National soldiers were
beaten back and their flag trailed in the
dust, that it was the pressage of still
heavier bondage They longed, too, as
their fathers did before them. for the adj
vent of that epoch over which was shed
the hallowed light of inspiration of good
news. The weary years OF bondage had
told their tale or sorrow TO the court Oh
Heaven in the councils Of the GREAT Fa-
ther of all. They knew the adjudication
of their case, albeit delayed Tor years,
in which their patient suffering had
nearly exhausted itself, would in the end
bring the boon for which they sighed
Gods most blessed gift to His creatures
the inestimable boon Of liberty. They
waited and they waited patiently. In
the absence Of their masters, they pro-
tected the virtue and chastity of the de-
fenseless women. Think, sir, for mo-
ment, what the condition Of this land
would be to-day if the slave population
had risen in servi!e insurrection against
those who month by month, were fight
ing to perDetuate that institution which
brought them all the evils OF which they
complained. VIII ere would have been the
security for property, female chastity
and childhood's innocence? The bloody
counterpart Of such q history OF cruelty
and wrong would have been paralleled
only in those chapters of Jewish history
as recorded by Joscphus, or in the still
later atrocities of that reign of terror
which sent the unfoatunate Louis XIV.
and Marie Antoinette to the scaffold.
Nay, deeds in that cold -blooded butch
cry would have out-Heroded the most
diabolical acts of Herod himself

c etence of the Coiored Man.

The defence of the colored men, by
the only representative of the freedmen
in the Congress Of the nation, Senator
! Revels, we reproduce at this late day
! because of its tim eliness and eloquence,
and ask for il a careful perusal:
Mr.. PRESIDENT Il rise at this partic
ular juncture in the discussion of the
Georgia bill, with feelings, which, per
haps, never before entered into the ex-
perience Of any member of this body.
rise, TOO. with misgivings as to the pro
priety of lifting my voice at this early
period after my admission TO the Senate.
Perhaps il were wiser for me, so mex
perienced in the details of Senatorial
duty, to have rem aimed passive listen
er in the progress of this debate; but
when l remember that my term is short,
and that the issues with which this bill
is fraught are momentous in their pres
ent and future influence, upon the we'll
being of my race, / would seem iudiffer
ent to the Importance Of the hour, and
recreant to the high trust imposed upon
me, if neglected to lend my voice in
behalf Of the loyal people of the South.
therefore waive all thoughts as to the
propriety of entering into the discussion,
by breaking through rules understood
by this body. When questions arise
that bear upon the safety and protec-
tion of loyal white ana colored people of
those States lately in rebellion, 1 can
not allow any thoughts as to mere pro
priety enter into my consideration of
duty. The responsibilities Of being the
exponent of such constituency as
have the honor to represent, are fully
appreciated 10y me. l have about me
daily the keenest sense of their weio ht,
and that feeling prompts NE now to lift
my voice Tor the first time in this coun-
ell chamb Der of the nation And, sir.
stand to day on this floor to appeal for
protection from the strong arm Of the
Government for her loyal children, ire
spective Of color or race, who are citi-
zens of the Southern States, and partic-
ularIy OF the great State of Georgia
am well aware, sir, that the idea is
abroad that an antagonsm exists be-
tween the whites and the blacks that
that race which The na.ion has raised
from The degradation Of slavery and en-
dowed with the full and unqualified
rights and privileges of citizenship are
intent upon power at whatever price it
can be gained. 1t has been q well con-
sidered purpose and aim of a class not
confined to the South to spread this
charge over the land, and their efforts
are as vigorous to-day to educate the
people Of this nation into that belief IS
they were at the close of the war, prog
nosticating serviIe war. 1t may have
been that the wish was father to the
thought. and, sir, as the recognized rep
resensative of my down-trodden people,
deny the charge and hurl it back into
the teeth of those who make it. and
who. believe, have not a true and con-
scientious desire to further the interests
of the whole South. Any one profess
ing knowledge of the colored popula-
ton of my own or any other State, need
not be reminded of the noble conduct of
that people under the most trying cir.
cunstances in the history of the late

Management Of Brooms.

If brooms are wet in boiling suds,
once week. they will becom< very
tough,w not cut the carpet last much
longer and always sweep like new
broom. a very dusty carpet may be
cleaned by sitting a pail of cold water
out by the door, wtt the broom in it,
knock it to set off all the drops. sweep
q yard or SO, then wash the broom as
before and Sw, cp again, being careful
TO shake oil the drops off the broom.
and not sweep far at a time. IF done
with care will clean carpet very nicely
and you will be surprised 1T the quantity
of dirt in the water. The water may
need changing once or twice if the car
pet is very dusty. Snow sprinkled over
a carpet and swept off before it has time
to melt and dissolve, is also nice for
renovsting soiled carpet. Moistened
Indian meal is used with good effect by
some housekeepers.
