at his birth was weak and puny, and not
expected to live. Placed in pen under a
violet-colored glass roof, it Immediately
began to improve, and SO continued to do
until in fifty days he gained six inches in
height, and at the end of year he had
obtained his maturity. He is now a
splendidly developed animal. This fact
the experimenter considers the most mar
yelous of all, and he is curious to know
what results these experiments will lead
to hereafter.
The principle upon which Commits
sioner Pleasonton proceeds is that the
blue color deoxgynates the carbonic acid
gas, supplying carbon to vegetable life,
and sustaining both vegetable and ami
NAL life with its oxygen; and that the
magnetic, electric and thermic powers of
the SUMS rays reside in the violet ray,
which is compound of the blue and red
ray. With these suggestions as his pos
tulate, the experiments which we have
enumerated were entered upon. The re-
suits must be productive of extended
experimenting in the future, for if the
life of an animal or vine may be invigor-
ated by the light of the sun strained
through glass roof, what is to prevent
the same benefcent principle from assist
ing human weakness?

TWIEDLEDUM AND TwEEpLEpEE,

The distinguished farmer of Chappaqua
draws his drill with too exceeding fine
ness when he informs them that there is
difference between what they say he
said and what he says he said. Speaking
as florist, the press planted the follow
ing flower of rhetoric in one of Mr.. Gree
ley speeches
He trusted the time would come when we
of the North would honor Lee and Stone
wall jackson as we honor Grant and Sher-
man.
The philosopher did not like the setting
out of this olive branch, SO he dug it up
and put it down to suit himself, as fol-
lows:
He hoped the time would come when all
Americans, North and South, will feel a
just pride in the military character and
achievements of Lee and Stonewall Jack
son, just as we of the North now take pride
in the character and achievements of Grant
Sherman and Thomas.

The Rev. Mr.. Cheney, who attempted
to alter the creed of the Episcopal church
to suit his own notions, has been expelled
from the ministry, and in his expulsion,
like Lucifer, he has carried off a number
of followers. Sixty ministers have signed
letter condoling with the recusant
preacher, and proposing to stand by him.
This is allowable. Mr.. Cheney can now
resort to the last refuge of all aggressive
minds and start a church of his own
This is what he ought to have done when
he first discovered that he could not SUBJ
scribe to the faith of the Episcopal church.
Instead of seeding, as he had a right to
do, he attempted to revolutionize the
church, and failed. Now for the new de-
nomination

Although honest confessions are good
for the soul, there are few that have the
moral courage to make them. The Louis
vile Courier-.Jomndl is not of this stripe,
however, as will most assuredly be con-
fessed when we state that it recommends
the Southern Democrats to have nothing
to do with the National Democratic Con-
vention, because they are such a set of
confirmed impracticables that they could
not help spelling the entire proceeding
with some outrageous piece of political
stupidity. Even after making this adj
mission, the same paper afirms that the
country can only be saved by the success
of the party that attracts this body of
boobies.

There is one popularity about the
pending treaty with England, which is in
it's favor, and that is, that neither party
is entirely enthusiastic in its favor. The
Democrats in the United States and the
conservatives in England are both de-
nouncing it with vigor, and the provinces
of the British empire and General But
Ter in Massachusetts, are opposed to its
provisions This shows, if nothing else
does, that the settlement was made fairly
and squarely, without any cheating on
either side. If there had been any
swindle in the treaty, one or the other of
the parties would have been exulting
over the advantage gained to that side,
but as it gives and takes, as every reason
able arrangement always does, the ultras
of both sides are found in opposition to
its terms.

COLOR AS A SOURCE OF LIFE.

Commissioner Pleasonton, who runs the
Interior Department at Washington, is a
philosopher as well as statesman, and
experiments with nature and deduces con-
illusions from the facts that fall under his
observation, quite as promptly as he in
vestigates the sources of internal revenue
frauds and changes the warehouse locks
that lead to the same. Mr.. Pleasonton
observed that blue sky was most favora-
BILE of all others to life of all descriptions,
SO he arranges to produce that manner of
light in grapery. Every eighth row of
glass in the roof of the arbor was violet
colored, which arrangement enabled the
sun to cast violet rays on every leaf in the
grapery during the day. The result was
most astonishing. The vines grew beyond
all calculation, and the yield of grapes
was tremendous. In two years the vines
produced twelve hundred pounds of fruit,
while in old grape growing countries
it requires four and five years to
obtain fruit from new vines. He next
tried the experiment of subjecting animal
life to the same influence. A litter of pigs
was separated, one half of the pigs being
placed under the ordinary and the other
half under the violet-colored light The
same rapid development characterized the
pigs that eat under the blue, while those
that remained exposed to the ordinary
white light continued as before. But the
most remarkable experiment was in the
case of an Attorney bull calf, which was
subjected to the new principle. The calf

ming forty miles an hour in thirteen
seconds, or before it can advance twenty
yards The new stopper is called the
Magnetic brake, and its success has been
demonstrated on the Erie road. The ap-
pication of this motor to arrest trains in
their rapid progress at the first signal of
danger, will have tendency to soothe the
nerves of the passengers, and to quiet the
apprehension of their friends at home.

The Louisville Ledger is enthusiastic in
its desire to retrieve the fallen fortunes of
the South, and in order to achieve the
object of its sudden passion with the
speediest dispatch, it proposes to install
cotton king. Itwould hardly be believed
by old Confucius if we were to tell him
that this very Ledger, which proposes to
make a king out of cotton, is one of the
most malignant prosecutors Of the very
race that raises nearly all the cotton that
is produced in the country. And yet it is
so. And its friends are forever suggest
ing that the ''niggers" are worthless

Great cry having been raised about the
mal-administration of Governor Scott, in
South Carolina, it will probably astonish
the waiting Democrats to be told that the
credit of South Carolina is first class; that
her paper is at par, and her public debt in
process of extinction. She does not owe
over seven millions of dollars, and since
Governor Scott has made some of the old
railroads promise to pay up their indebt-
edness to the State, the chances are that
South Carolina will soon be in better
condition than any of her sister States.
And yet her government has been the
most roundly abused of all the Southern
republican communities, if We except
Louisiana.
