Ar THE BorTOM OF THE SEAT is
curious iact that the precise nature Of
the mud which is formed at the bottom
Of the yea has been only recently de-
termincd. It is found, on analysis, to
consist largely OF organic matter, more
or less dccomposed, intcrspcrscd with
minnie round bodies about sixtccn-one-
hhndrcdths of mn inch in diameter.
These bodies have been called coco
spheres and coccllitcs, and are so set in
tie mud us to resemble mosaic work.
Some Of these look under the microscope
like thick watch-glnsscs. Immense MIN
hers Of minute shells arc also found.
The mud is exec ssivrly sticsv, being
rendered so by minute pellets of "a jelly
like consistency. These pellets are dot
ted all over their surfaces, aud nrcfOund
to contain great numbers Of gTanulcs,
from onc.four.thousnndth TO one.twcn-
ty-thousandtl OF M inch in diameter I;
they are undoubtedly organic in their
character, forming, perhaps one Of the
representatives Of the assumed ground
between plants and animals.

ADVERTISING. There is n class Of per.
sons who Imagine they are doing very
iudiciously by advertising through the
medium Of circulars. They scatter a
few thousand through the city, announc-
ing their business, and await tho result,
fully convinced that in so doing they
have taken all necessary preliminaries to
success. Various circulars are almost
daily to be found on the door steps and
entry ways of respectable houses. Their
mte is, generally, that they are either
thrown into the street by the Indignant
servant girl who answers the bell, or
snmmarily pitched aside by the man
ol the house who finds them when here
turns home, and who desires no suggcs-
tions Of new methods Of tightening his
purse. The use Of circulars may, in
certain limited cases, answer every pur-
pose but the vast majority of those
who have made money by advertising
have found that the columns Of news
paper are the best and surest, and in the
end the cheapest medium Of communi-
cation between the business world and

Ruloff's Brother Visiting Him il
His Cell.

Ruloff Ruloiison, of Strattonville,
Clarion county, Pa, brother of Ed
ward III. Rulof, was here to see the
prisoner on Thursday, and was admit
ted to an interview with him on the
evening of that day, in company, it is
understood, with Mr.. Becker, the pris
oner's counsel, and the sheriff. The in
terview, it is said, was very affecting.
The persons who witnessed it decline
Of course, to give any particulars.
Mr.. Rullolson, it is understood, is a
gentleman oflarge means, intelligence,
and respectability, and extensively en-
gagged in the oil and lumber business.
At the time Of the interview he was on
his way to New York to attend to a
business engagement. He was very
much attached to Edward in their boy
hood, and his pleasure at the respite
granted by Judge Rapallo was ap-
parent; but he has expressed no desire,
and probably has no purpose, to de
fate the ends of justice.
Although Rulohson's visit here was
private, he registered his name in full
Mt Per Lees Hotel, and was introduced
to several Observation-Disclosures
Republican.

Pass Him Around.

Charles Knepp, alias "Charles AL.
len," who has been variously employed
oy the A. & G. W., Erie, Oil Creek,
and Lehigh Valley Railroads, until
discharged for misdemeanor, came to
Meadville, Pa, some time last October,
with wife of some twenty summers,
whom he had married at the tender
age of fourteen, and little daughter
about four years Of age. These he
placed in tenement house, to board,
amid squalid poverty and want, where
soon the wife was prostrated very low
upon sick bed. While in this condi.
ton this faithless husband and cruel
father deserted both wife and child,
leaving them without money or friends,

or he cared for by such charities as a
cold world might give. They soon be-
came objects of public charity. The
child was taken from the mother (who
was too ill to be removed) to the coun-
ty Poor House, to be cared for until
the mother should recover, or be car.
ried beyond the Affections and disap-
pointments of this life.
In the meantime the unnatural hus.
band and father has formed a new alli,
ance with another woman living in the
region Of Port Jervis, giving out that
his former wife had died some months
since, in Meadville, Pa.
A few days since, he passed over the
Erie Railway going west, on what he
represented to be his bridal tour with
wife No. 2. Being recognized by a
Conductor on the road, he took him
aside and asked that he be not exposed,
at the same time sending word to wife
No. that she need not try to follow
him with the rigor of the law, for he
was now on his way out of the coun-
try.
He has since been heard from at
Waverly, Tioga county, N. Y, passing
under the name of Charles Allen,
which is one of his old lodges when
he had committed or was about to
commit some mean act.-Meadpile Re

REMOVAL OF SUMNER

Mr.. Sumner has been removed from
the committe on Foreign Affairs. He
was removed by vote of the Senate
at the instigation of the President.
His removal has called forth a general
protest from the leading Republican
journals of the country. Mr.. Sumner
was opposed to the annexation of San
Domingo, and hence the difficulty. He
has been waited upon by large mum.
Der of prominent men, who assure him
of their support in the war being made
uIol him. 1t is evident that large
section of the Republican party will
regard Mr.. Sumner as a martyr to his
opinions, and a split is much feared in
the party unless the affair assumes a
different aspect. 1t was certainly the
most unfortunate action which could
have takeE place, at this time and we
consider that Mr.. Grant and the Sen.
ate of the United States acted hastily
in the matter, to say the least, and on.
ly hope, for the good of the party and
the country at large, that the breach
may, in some honorable way be closed
