STRANGE WORDS FROM A STRANGE
QUARTER.-In the course of an article
depricating with much earnestness the
proposed measures now before Con.
gress for the suppression of the social
ed Ku-Klux outrages at the South. the
Boston Advertiser, the leading Radi-
cal organ of Massachusetts, declares
that:
The South must be reconstructed, if
at all, by its natural leaders-the men
of braips, character and influence
most Of whom, of course were in the
late war. This is sound policy. This
opinion is held by hundreds of unpre-
JUDGED people-old army officers and
citizens-who lived and owned planta-
tons in the South, or have travelled
there. The present state of things is
very bad. We have been trying to
create an unnatural state of affairs, and
the result is failure, SO long as the
only intelligent men are DISTINGUISHED,
and the ignorant and vicious are per-
mitted to control matters. All ac-
counts agree that the hostility is not
felt toward the National Government
but toward certain obnoxious black
and white people. Now, it is certain
~ too much to expect a very active
public sentiment against the Ku-Klux,
if nothing better is promised than
the grotesque travesties of govern
ments which we have seen in many of
these States. Let us try a new remedy,
and give brains and character and de-
cency chance. First of all let us
stop this wretched Congressional fool
ing with great communities as if they
were babes or idiots. By attempting
to subject whole States to the control
of ignorant blacks and whites, who are
both ignorant and vicious, we invite
the very outrages of which we COM
plain. The country is sick of the
whole thing"

RELATION OF BLOOD TO LIFE.-It
has generally been supposed that the
presence of blood in state of circuIa-
ton in the system is absolutely neces-
sary to life, and that the cessation of
such action is always accompanied by
death. In a course of recent lectures
by Professor Bernard. of Paris, tie re-
fers TO this belief, and states that if one
of the higher ANIMALS he suddenly de-
prived of its blood, it will at once ex
pire, since the blood noarishcs the It's
sues, and confers its special properties
upon them; but that, under certain
circumstances, the vital manifestations
may persist for a long time after the
blood has been distracted. This, he
states, may be observed at any time in
cold blooded animal, and especially
during the cool season. Thus, a frog
in winter will preserve it's vitality for
twenty four hours after the withdraw
al of its blood; and if one of the alb
dominal' veins be opened and feebly
saline or sugared water, or even mer-
culy be injected, until all the blood is
replaced by the liquid, the animal may
still move, leap, and manifest all the
ordinary signs of life several days. IF
the web of the foot be examined BY the
microscope, a fluid entirely destitute
of glObnles will be seen to circulate in
it, showing that the blood globules
have been removed without suspend
ing the functions of life. This IS stated
to be somewhat analogous to the con-
ditions of things in the Information of
on T., ~ Il
~ in man, during which the circula-
ton may apparently cease completely,
so that no blood shall flow if an artery
be opened, and yet all the ordinary
manifestations of life continue. In
both cases considerable reduction of
temper ature is observed, and the func.
ton of the red corposcles are reduced
correspondingly in activity.

~ A citizen of Illinois wrote to a

take great pleasure in bearing highly
creditable testimony to its efficacy as a re-

recommend it. Having a natural tendeu-
