"EvOLvING."-We seldom see the Atchison
Globe, but some friend has furnished ms with IN
issue Of that high-toned sheet, in which the tri.
umvirate of priestly seeds and reRegades who do
the editing and cat-qu arreling for it, "evolve''
for the benefit Of the Chief-and take their Sun
day issue for it, too. The little notice we gave
Of them last week, hurts them dreadfully. These
high-toned evolvcs answer by re-hashing
the sumo old stuff about corruption
money, and testimony before investigating
csmmittees. This is what every paper must
do with which We have any little unpleasantuess,
- surely Is children, sooner or later, must have
~ neaslss, the whooping-cough, or the mumps
We are glad the Globe has had il so young, and
hope it may not strike in
The Globe imagines that We dislike il for ex-
posing spme Of our misdeeds. II 1t has ever done
s0ch thing, we have never seen or heard of it.
We gave 1t . friendly notice before Il started,
and sent cur paper in exchange for theirs weeks
before the Giobe wasissued. They sent us just
Athnsc Issues Of their daily in two weeks and then
ait altogether. We did not urge . renewal Of
the exchange, because we considered the Globe
about the grandest newspaper failure We have
eyer seen-in view Of its preliminary blowing
and its pretensions, it is . stupendous failure
But we regard its confidence game on the coun-
try press rs q fair specimen Of the mean and mis-
eriy system upon which it intended to aevoiver
But IS the Globe has set out to expose corrup-
ton and guilt, We can funish it with . fresher
subject than the one it alludes to. There il .

To A COld.FOOted Lady.

Madam, says bio Lewis, allow mo to prescribe for you. l have had long experience in the management of deli cate women, and believe I can give you some important advice. For the pres ent I prescribe only for your feet.
 1st. Procure quantity of woollen stockings-not such as you buy at the stores under the name of lambs wool, that you can read newspaper through, but the kind that your Aunt Jerusha in the country knits for you, thick as a board, that will keep your feet dry and warm in spite of wind and weather.
 2d. If you want to be really thor ough, change them every morning, hanging the fresh ones by the fire du- ring the night.
 3d. Procure thick calf-skin boots, double uppers and triple soles, and wear them from the first of October till the first of May. Make frequent ap- plications of some good oil backing.
 4th. Avoid rubbers altogether, except pair of large rubber boots, which may be worn for little time through snow drifts or flood of water.
 9th. Hold the bottoms of your feet in cold water half an inch deep, just be- fore going to bed, two or three minutes, and then rub them hard with rough towels and your naked hands.
 9th. Now, madam, go out freely in all weathers, and, believe me, not only will your feet enjoy a good circulation, but as consequence of the good circu- lation in the lower extremities, your head will be relieved of all it's fulness and your heart of it's palpitations. Your complexion will be greatly i'm proved and your health made better in every respect.

Length O. Whales.

Mir. Scoresby, very high authority on this subject, declares the common whale seldom exceeds seventy feet in length, and is much more frequently under sixty. Out of three hundred and twenty-two whales, which he assisted personally in capturing, not one exceed ed fifty eight feet, and the largast of which he knew the reported measure ment to be authentic came up to only sixty-seven feet. Two specimens of the rorqual or razor-back whale have been observed of one hundred and five feet in length. One of these was found floating lifeless in Davis Straits, and the skeleton of the other was seen by Clarke in Columbia River, and must, tail and all, when alive have measured one hundred and twelve feet. Other specimens, have measured hundred, and many others from eighty to ninety feet. One cast on shore at North Der wick, Scotland, and preserved by Doe tor Knox, was eighty-three feet in length. These instances seems to es- tablish the average and extreme length of these huge animals. But with con- siderable credulity in earlier accounts Baron Cuvier, the eminent naturalist, says stoutly, "there is no doubt that whales have been seen at certain opochs and in certain seas upwards of three hundred feet long, or one ehundred yards in lengtn"

A Man Without Muscles.

A faro-dealer in this city about four years ago was compelled to relinquish his profession by paralysis of his right fore-fnger. The nerve cell Gin the spinal column) which supplied the joint had died from overwork, and the mus cles of the finger gradually passed away through disuse-atrophied, the doctors call it. The dead cell in the spinal marrow in some way, by contact or sym pathy, destroyed it's neighbor, which controlled the same finger on the left hand. The atrophy extended over both shoulders, and neck. At the present time there is not muscle in those portions of the mans body. The arms hang useless and absolutely fleshless- mere skin and bone. The intercostal muscles are gone, and the man can make no respiratory movements requiring their action the neck is esophagus, trachea, and spinal column clad in skin, and that is all, the processes of the lat ter standing out as plainly as in skele- ton. The head, unsupported, hangs down on the chest, as if it were merely tied on. By movement of the lions the man can throw his head over so that it will fall resting on his shoulders and back, but otherwise than thus, mechan- ically, he cannot control its motion.
 What parts the disease will next attack is q question with the physicians at Bellevue, where the case was shown yesterday, but the result is hardly doubtful. Breathing is done now who'll ly by the diaphragm, and must cease if that be attacked.-N. '. Paper.

Artificial Coal.

There Is an artificial coal establish ment in France which produces the large amount of two hundred thousand tons annually. The machine used for this purpose is said to be capable of producing ten tons of the fuel per hour. with n motive power of eighty-horses, the whole machine weighing about six ty-fve tons, with all its accessories and gearing, including the steam engine. These coal bricks are slightly heavier than natural coal, and their caloritic eff
 feet is found fully equal, and, in some cases, even superior to the latter. The process of washing removes about five per cent. of the weight of the coal dust representing incombustibie impurities, and the compressed fuel leaves only six to seven per cent. of ashes. The fuel thus produced from mere coal dust is sold to the different railway companies md the navy, besides great quantity for hous ehold use, for which purposes it is admirably adapted on account of its regularity of form, great cohesion, entire cleanliness, and high heating eff feet. s..s...r |.

MT. GreeleY's Estate.

Messrs. Strykcr, Stuart and Do Witt have been appointed Q committee to su- pervise the collection and preservation of the books, correspondence md other papers belonging to Horace Greeley in possession of the American Institute. For several years the great journalist, while President of the Institute and af- terward, made its congenial rooms in the resorts. He had desk there and used the Institute rooms as an up town office, in which he transacted much of his business. His !" History of the Ameri- can Conflict, which he began writing in what he called his "den," in room 51 in tho Bible House, was finished in the Cooper Institute, and many Of his news paper and magazine articles were also composed in that place. His death left the Institute in possession of many of his books of reference, valuable letters, etc. These are to be carefully collected and transferred to the custody of the executors of MT. Greeley's estate.
 The books and writings used by. him which were the property of the Institute are to be deposited in handsome case This will stand in conspicuous part of the rooms, ana over It WILL nanS an oil portrait of Mir. Greeley now being copied by Carpenter from the artist s original in possession of the Lincoln Club. The correspondence, manuscripts and miscellaneous papers MT. Greeley left in his editorial office have been put under seal in his old desk to await the disposition of his executors. Many of the letters were written by distinguish ed persons, and are of historical value as relating to the anti-slavery struggle and other important events.
 Surrogate Coffin, of Westchester County, appointed Messrs. William M. Skinner, of White Plains, and John E. Williams, of Greenburg, appraisers of Horace Greeley's estate. The Surro- gate also sent letters testamentary in the estate to Isaiah T. Williams, coun- sel for the executors.-N y. Paper.

Impurities in Milk.

It is stated of Prof. Law, of Cornell University, that, having one day during the hot weather observed peculiar ropy appearance in the cream, which had risen upon tho milk which was SUD- piled him by milkman, he was led to examine it under the microscope. These observations resulted in the dis covery of numerous living organisms, of character quite foreign to good milk; careful survey of the dairy where the milk was obtained disclosing nothing wrong-the dairy-house being good condition. But, on looking through the pastures, it was found that the only water to which the COWS had access was that contained in stagnant pool. Submitting some of this water to similar microscopic examination, he discovered the same class of organ isms as those found in thecream. The presence of like organisms was also de- tected in blood taken from the COWS. In order to arrive at more definite re- suit, he next obtained specimen of good milk, free from all organic impuri- ties, and into this he put drop of the water from the stagnant pool. In a short space of time the milk developed an infinite number of these living or ganisms, and became similar ill charac- acter to that obtained from his milk man. Results so clear and conclusive merit the attention of oil dairy-men while the manner in which they were established illustrates the value of care full observation, followed by persistent and intelligent research. :...

Freezing to Death.

That to be frozen to death must be 0 frightful torture many would consider certain from their own experience of the effects of cold. But here we fall into the usual error of supposing that the suffering will increase with the energy of the agent, which could only be the case if the sensibility remained the same. Intense cold brings on speedy sleep, which fascinates the sen- ses and fairly beguiles men out of their lives. The most curious example of the seductive power of cold is to be found in the adventures of the botani- cal party, who, in Cooks first voyage, were caught in snow storna on Terra del Fuego. Dr. Solander, by birth q Swede, md we'll acquainted with the destructive deceits of rigorousclimate, admonished the company, in defiance of lassitude, to keep moving on. "Who- ever sits down." said he, "will sleep, and whoever sleeps will perish." The doctor spake as a sage, but felt as @ man. In spite of the remonstrances of those he instructed and alarmed, he was the first to lie down and die. The same warning was repeated thousand times in the retreat from Moscow. Ali son, the historian, to try the expert ment, sat down in his garden at night, when the thermometer had fallen four degrees below zero, and so quickly did the drowsiness come stealing on, that he wondered how soul of Napoleon s unhappy band had been able to resist the treacherous influence.

An Hour from Labor.

Take an hour from labor and give it to something else. But don't carry those precious sixty minutes and slam them down upon drinking bar, getting nothing in return for Gods gift than poison and death and murder. Don't take them to the gambling hells and ex- change them for chances to win few dollars from other men who have left their families, their wives and children, to gamble away their small earnings. You but help to build up the fortune of the unprincipled man who owns the "hell" and deals the game of moral and pecuniary destruction. If you have an hour to spare from labor, give it to reading and the enjoyment of home. Cheer your wife in her duties, select pleasant stories and read them to your children. Try the habit of domes- ticity. The best lounging place is your own house, and the best club to join is your own family. Stick to that idea, and work up the spare hour by improv- ing it to the intellectual advantage of yourself and household. If you prop erly bestow your leisure from toll you will in the end find that toll itself will not be so great burden. By study you will discover wherein lies the mys- tery of your toll, and means will be opened to you by which the business you are engaged in will assume almost an intellectual amusement. An hour a day amounts at the end of the year to 365 hours. In that space how many valuable books may be read, how much pleasure enjoyed in your own home, and how blessed you will be in the gratitude of your wife and the intimate and cultivated love of your chi1dren
