HE OUfREME OOUhT ON LEGAL lEN-
DERs.-4The decision OF the United States
Supreme Court, Involving thc constitu-
tionality of the Lcgal-tender act, deliver
ed by Chief Justice Chase in the city OF
Washington on the 9th inst, produced
perturbation, CONSERVATION and com-
fusion in all official circles there. In this
opinion the Chief Justice is sustained by
Justice Nelson, Clifford sid Field, con-
stituting majority of one. Justice
Miller, supported by Swaync and Davis,
delivered minority opinion OF great
force and power, deemed by candid men
to be entirely conclusive ON the constiiu-
tionality of the law.
The Cleveland Herald, trulhfully por-
trays The character of those members of
the Court who constitute the majority
in this case. Nelson, Clifford and Field
are unmitigate foEies, and were not ear
ly, and never earnest sympathizers of
the Republican party, in the prosecution
of the war for the preservation Of the
Union. The Chiei Justice, less consist
ent than his conf;eres, was as Secretary
of the Treasury, part of the Republ'-
can Administration of Mr. Lincoln, and
used all the power and influence OF his
then position, with members of Congress
to secure the enactment Of the law (which
he no doubt aided in drafring) which he
now denOunces as uncoustitu utional.
And when the law was enacted, he ad-
minstered il, and paid the debts of the
Government contracted before 1862, in
Greenbacks, which debts he now aflfrns
could legally be paid in gold only Was
the Chief Justice honest then? II, yea,
is he honest now
The case in which this astounding de.
cIslon was given is know rs the Ken
lucky case, Hepburn VS.. Griswold. The
defendant, Grswold, sued in tire State
Courts of Kentucky to recover gold, on
a contract for money made in 1860.
which fell due after the passage of the
Legaltender act, and upon which the
plaintiff rendered greenbacks. The Ken
lucky Court of Appeals awarded iudg.
ment to the defendant, Griswold, on the
ground that the Legal-tender act was
wholly unconstitutional. The case was
appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court,
and the decision of the Court, of the 9Th
inst, atirms the judgment of the Court
below. Thus the Chiot Justice fully
suStains the notorious disloyalty of Ken.
lucky.
The high officers of Government and
leading business men are astounded and
stand amazed at the developed capa-
bIlitles Of the wiley, ambitious politician
who wields sclGshly, not patriotically
and honestly the vast powers of the
Chief Judicial Office in the United States.
Whether the aspiring Chief Justice who
thus stulIiiies himself as Secretary of
the Treasury, will reach the goal of his
ambition, and achieve Presidential hon.
ora, or secure even nomination for that
high position, time will tell. The proba.
blllty is, that no party will venture Ia
trust him. Under the influence of his in
sane ambition, he may find that he is
selling himself to the devil, for very
small pay.

AN OLD STORY IN A New SnAPE.-Dr.
Grusselbuch, Professor at the Swedish
University of Upsala, is reported to be
able to benumb a snake by artificial
means so as to render it us stiff as marble,
and, after the expiration of some time,
to restore it to life by sprinkling it with
a stimulating fluid, Of which he alone
knows the composition. He is said to
have repeated these experiments on an
unhappy reptil for the last fifteen years
He thinks the same process may be sue
cessful in regard to human beings, and
the Government is to give him a CON
demned criminal, whom he will put
aslte ep for two years. When the man is
finally walked up he will be pardoned.
Furthermore, the Professor has been led
to believe that some of the Egyptian
mummies are only sleepers, their maps
having been prolonged by the loss of the
secret OF their preservation. We would
not advise our readers to get excited
over the story until its authenticity has
been confirmed. Should it prove true,
it might prove practically useful in Sc
curing to every community an "oldest
inhabitant," who could be walked up
temporarily, whenever. his services were
required, and then put to rest again, to
prevent accidents ard check the wear
and tear OF age.

a New THEORY OF MUMMIEs.-It is
said that i'll the tolnbs of the Metropolis
of ancient Egypt two kinds of mummes
have been found. One is complete, that
is to say, all organs necessary for life
have been separated from them; the
other, on the contrary, is quite complete.
Having observed this, n swedish chemist,
DR.. Grusselbach, who has the reputation
Of being both great and learned, pro-
lessor at the university of Upsala, has
&C me to the conclusion that the Egyptian
mummies are not all, as has been said
and believed for some thousand of years,
bodies emblamed by any process of pre-
servation whatever, but that they are
really the bodies of individuals whose
life has been momcntarily suspended,
with the intention of restoring them at
some future time, only the secret of pre-
servation has now been lost. Meanwhile
Professor Grusselbach adduces many
proofs in support of his idea, among 9TH
ers his experiments during the lest ten
years, which he says have always proved
successful. He took snake and treated
it in 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 frag-
ments. In this state he kept it for sew
eral years and then restored it 10 life by
sprinklng it with stimulating fluid the
composition of which is a secret. For
fifteen years the snake has been undergo
ing an existence composed of successive
deaths and resurrections, and apparently
without sustaining any BARN. The Pro
lessor is reported to have sent petition
to his government, requesting that a
criminal who has been condemned to
death may be given to him to be treated
in the same manner as the snake, promis-
ing to restore him to life in two years.
1t is understood that the man who un-
dergoes this experiment is to be par
doned.

Nature and My Heart.

Nature and My Heart.
BYA. JuDsoN CRANE.
The tenderest flower, bedrenched with rain
Still lifts its head and smiles again,
When morning light diepela the cloud
Which lately thundered last and loud;
And thou, my heart, be as tho flower.
The little streams with crystal flow,
By some rude storm, doth murky grow,
And angry rushcs dark and fast,
Yet soon will clear and calm at last;
And thou, my heart, learn from the stream,
The mighty oak, at winters blast
Strips of it's leaves and limbs and mast,
And stands type of mute despair,
But blooms again with vernal air;
And thou, my heart, be as the oak.
Old oceans tide in tempest driven,
Lashes the shore, and cries to Heaven
In fearful woe, i'll fury wild,
But soon is still as nesting child;
And thou, my heart, learn from the sea,
The flower, the stream. the oak, the sea,
All have their times OF gloom aud glce,
To then, there comes at last relief,
But souls ne'er find surcease Of grief;
Then thou, my heart. learn to submit.
All nature has some fitting balm
To heal, renew, refresh or calm;
Solace or calm can never know;
Then thou, my heart, learn to endure.
Cast up thy gaze from earthly things,
Deem sorrow good; to theo it brings
Promise Of life when Nature dies,
For Natures voice forever cries,
Oh! bruised heart, trust God alone.
