AN IMPORTED EARTH-WoRM.--MOr curious
and perhaps more interesting to scientific con-
Sideration is the appearance, in the hot-houSe of
the agricultural department, of a new earth
worm. The species is very large, and, compared
with our common angle-worm, it is very curl

department so as to have become real pest 1t

in the earth with the plants imported in the
exhibition under Commodore Perry. Mr. Glover
seems to think it is the same as the worm now
doing much damage TO pOt-plants in the hot
house cOnservatories of England and quotes
Mr.. Fish in the English Gardeners Chronicle
who speaks of the "eel-worm" as probably a
tropical relation of the common earth-w0rm, as
it cannot live out of doors in the climate of Eng
land and scarcely Subsists in a greenhouse but
revels in the temperature of a plant store or
orchideous house. 1t differs from the common
worm in its mode of locOmotion, and in several
OF Its habits. 1t comes out at night on walls,
stone floors, etc, and is as quick as an adder in
its movements when disturbed. 1t seems i'm
possible to eradicate it, it appears to breed with
extraordinary rapidity, and is endowed with
great muscular power so much so that is some
what difficult to hold large specimen between
the thumb and finger Lime water, which is a
sovereign remedy against the common earth
worm, appears to have little influence on it, and
the only effective mode Of destruction is to turn
out the soil from the pot and catch and kill the
Intruder, taking care, however not to knock or
jar the plant, as the worm, instead of coming to
the surface on being disturbed, like the common
worm, will instantly recede to the center of the
ball Of earth and remain there undisturbed.
Mr.. w. Baird speaks of a worm under the name
of MegdscOleL (Perichgtd) difringenS, found in
three different gardens in England, in hot-stove
houses, which is probably the same eel worm

One of the curious frauds attempted, in the
present canvass, is that which describes the
Cincinnati mass meeting as Republican con-
vention." Some republicans attended that
meeting; but many of those who acted in it
were democrats; and a majority of the votes
which secured the nomination of Mr.. Greeley
over Mr.. Adams, were cast by democrats, not
only from the south, but from other parts of
the country. The whole vote of California was
cast by man who is notorious in the region
where he lives as a secession democrat" These
called delegates" from Maryland were all dem
ocrats. And so it was to a very large extent.
1t was this political popularity of the meeting
which enabled Frank Blair to direct its proceed.
ings and control the result Nearly all the hen.
est republicans concerned in it have rejected its
nominations and Withdrawn from the move
ment. Under no circumstances could this mass
meeting have been described honestly as a ore
publican convention" and to call it so is one of
those foolish false pretences which assume to
be potent while they arc very burgling and
weak. AT Cincinnati, as well as at Baltimore.
the nomination OF Mr. Greeley represented dem
ocratjc influence and democratic votes
We have in this presidential canvass the same
issue which the republican party has been re
quired to meet constantly, heretofore. The real
platform Of the party which nominated Mr.
Greeley is seen in its record, its spirit, and its
aims as explained by its representative men. 1t
would be seen clearly in the wry faces with
which so many of his supporters "eat boiled
crow if it could be found nowhere else. There
never was presidential election in which great
principles were more distinctly involved; and
no masquerading, no maneuvers of dis
stimulation, can hide this fact. The re-
publican presidential ticket was nomi-
mated by the republican party, and rep.
Tesents that party and no other; its candi-
dates have contracted no obligation whatever
TO the men, sections, factions or influences of
any party opposed 10 its principles We have
now, as heretofore, the republican party against
the democratic party. II is true, that many
democrats are too "straightout7 and square in
their ways to endorse what they regard as the
iaisehood pcrpetrated by the Baltimore conyen
ton, by voting Tor Greeley and Brown. But
the party, led by regiments Of It's most famous
ex-rebels and copperheads, supports this demo.
cratic ticket which 1t has put in the field, be-
cause this seems a promising way to coutrol

The following is from the unpub.
lishee MS. of Herman Bowman, OF
Kentucky, an eminent Mason, now
dead :-MoSoaic TdJlet.
We are often asked why the ladies
are excluded from knowledge of our
mysteries, and a participation in our
labors.
Endowed as women Is, with all that
is beautiful in virtue, sublime in NOR
ality and pure in religion, the fraterni-
ty arc accustomed to regard the sex
rather as beacon lights to illustrate
their pathway, than suited to partake
Of the rude labors Of either operative
or speculative masonry. Our emblems
are derived from the implements of the
operative mason. Their uses in the
hand of the architect arc known. In
speculative masonry, the plumb, square,
level and other Instruments, are used
for the purpose of divesting our minds
and consciences of the evils and i'm
perfectionsincident to man in his rude
and imperfect state. We should as
little expect TO find the ladies engaged
with the implements of the operative
mason, in the construction of house
or other ediiice, as in the idle occupa-
tion Of attempting to remove vices and
imperfections which in their natures
natures can have no existence. 1t is
for man to build, for woman to occu-
py, beautify and adorn the edifice when
completed. To initiate their virtues is
our noblest aim, to be worthy of their
smiles, our loftiest ambition"

simple Cure for Headache

If the. saying is true that he who
causes two blades of grass to grow
where only one grew before is a public
benefactor, ;" how much more is he who
discovers a remedy for one of the most
distressing diseases that poor human
nature is heir to? Having been affiict-
ed for many years with neuralgic head
ache, and after trying all the remedies
j could hear tell Of without any bene-
fit, / had given up all hope of a cure,
having had an elder brother to die of
the disease, and being told by the doe
tors there was no cure for it. l hap
PLY thoughtoftrying salt, and in short
time / was delighted to see it had the
best results. 1t is now about two
months since | tried the experiment,
and | have not been troubled with it
since. Now | want to let the whole
world and the rest of mankind know
the remedy, as it is so simple that any
one can use it: Take pinch of salt,
and snuff it up the nostriis until you
can taste it in your throat. Do not
blow your nose fora considerable time,
but as the water runs, snuff it up until
you can spit it out of your mouth. In
changablc weather, or if you feel any
return of it, repeat the remedy.

The New York Democratic State
Convention assembled at Rochester on
the 18th. Delegates were appointed to
the Baltimore Convention, and the fol-
lowing resolutions adopted, which are
a virtual endorsement of Greeley:
The Democratic party of the State
of New York, assembled in regular
convention to elect delegates to the
National Convention, to be held at
Baltimore, to nominate candidates for
President and Vice President, declare
and resolve that we recognize the
changes in the nature and Constitu.
ton of the Government which have
taken place, and, without reopening
the questions of the past, are ready
now to cooperate with those, whatever
their previous party affiliations, who
favor limited and localized Govern
ments, who seek to restrain the exer-
else by Congress Of absolute and gem
eral powers, to prevent its entering on
private legislation, to restrain the
growth OF vast corporations, and to
WI pOi iHuneHV clNii heTVlCO relOTm.
And be it further
Resolved, That the recent declara-
ton of political principles by the Con-
vention at Cincinnati is evidence of the
progress of public opinion toward
sound and wholesome views of govern
ment, that we believe all patriotic cit
izens may unite ON that platform for
the purpose Of restoring an honest ad-
ministration of National affairs, and
enforcing the obligations of the Con-
stitution, and our delegates to Balti-
more are instructed to take the course
best calculated to secure the triumph
of these principles, and the selection
of any candidate representing them,
who shall meet the approval of the De-
mocracy in the National Convention
assembled.

Wear and Repair of the Brain.

The notion that those who work
only with their brains need less food
than those who work their hands has
been the cause of much untold mis-
chief Students and literary men have
often been the victims of slow star
walton, from their ignorance of the fact
that mental labor causes greater waste
of tissue than muscular. According
to careful estimates, three hours of
hard study wears out the body more
than whole day of work at an anvil
or on farm. Without phosphorus,
no thought" is a German saying; and
the consumption of that essential in
gredient of the brainincreases accord
ing to the amount of labor which the
organ is required to perform. This
wear and tear of the brain is easily
measured by careful examination of
the salt in the liquid execretions. The
importance of the brain as a working
organ is shown by the amount of blood
| it receives, which is proportionally
greater than that of any other part of
the body. One-ffth of the blood
goes to the brain, through its average
weight of the body. This fact would
be sufficient to prove that brain-work-
ers need more food and better than
mechanics and farm laborers.

Hon. JOHN GooDE, jr., of Virginia,
the member of the Democratic Ma
tional Executive Committee from that
State, publishes a letter in the Norfolk
Journal, in which he says:
+" As at present advised, l am pre-
pared to support the nominees of the
Liberal Republicans, and in my judg-
ment it would be exceedingly unwise
for the Democratic Convention at
Baltimore to make any nomination at
all. Believing that a Democratic can
didate cannot be elected at this time,
and that the only alternative left to us
is to choose between Liberal Repub-
lican and Radical, / cannot hesitate
a single moment. From the re- election
Of Gen. Grant we could expect moth
ing but the continuance for another
term of four years of the corrupt and
oppressive military despotism which
has characterized his administration
From the election of Mr.. Greeley upon
the Liberal principles of the Cincin-
natl platform we might reasonably
hope for the restoration of constitu-
tional government, the deliverance of
the South from all the untold horrors
of Radical misrule, and the inaugura-

Presbyterian General Assemblies.

During the meeting of the Presby-
tcrian General Assembly, which con
vened in Richmond yesterday, action
will be taken on the following over
ture, adopted few days ago by the
Presbytery of Nashville, and bearing
upon matter in which our citizens
cannot but feel deep interest:
The Presbytery of Nashville res
pectfully overture the General Assem-
bly,, in session at Richmond, Virginia,
to remove the Executive Committee OF
Publication from Richmond to Nash
vile, Tennessee.
I'VE urge this measure, because;
First, We believe it best for the
general interest of the Church that
her Executive Committees be more
widely scattered in her bounds.
Second, There are none of the in
stitutions of our Church in the great
Southwest; but all are situated east OF
the Allegheny.
