We present to-day some interesting informa-
ton respecting the meeting at Bradford Oh
the British Association for the Advancement
of Science. Chemical Science is based on the
doctrine that there are atoms in matter which,
combined. form molecules, of which, in their
turn. all visible objects are composed. The
opening address of Prof. Williamson Is al
able exposition of the present position Oh
chemical science, with especial reference 10
this atomic theory. The subject Is an I'M
portant one, and the summary which we pup
fish is deserving of careful study.

We deeply regret that the President should
have been swerved from the splendid position
he assumed when in this city at the outbreak
of the panic. In his letter to Messrs Claim
and Anthony, written yesterday, when 1t
seemed reasonably clear that the danger was
already mainly over, he intimates purpose
to use the forty-iour millions of greenbacks,
provided the banks will do their part, in
relieving the stringency. 1t is probable-as
THE TRIBUNE has repeatedly warned its read
ers-that the necessities of our mlsmanaged
Treasury will of themselves compel this ex-
pansion, but it is none the less to be deplored.
The determination to anticipate the Novem-
Der interest is a step of a wiser nature, for
which we give the President hearty thanks

Scarcely had the Department disposed OF
the cases of the officials at Cincinnati and
st. Louis than graver offense is found
IN Pittsburgh. The Postmaster of that city
is charged with having made away with
over $4,000 of the funds of the office. Pos
sibly this amount may be changed some
what, but it seems that the defaulting Post
master acknowledges that he is indebted to
the Office for a larger sum than this. The
Post Office Department has exhibited happy
faculty for compromising cases of this KIND,
and it is naturally inferred that it will make
an amicable adjustment with the Pittsburgh
Postmaster. Just as it did with those of the
two cities before mentioned.

Denver dispatches give flOrid report OF
the riches of the territory lately acquhe ed from
the Utes by the United States The tract Oh
country referred to has long been reserved Tor
the exclusive possession of the Indians, and
contains about four hundred million acres sit
uated in the heart of the continent. This
possession Is given up by the Utes by what is
called articles of agreement, which we take to
be an ingenious evasion of the law fOrbidding
treaties with Indian tribes. Being newly
opened region, it is natural that highly colored
statements of its worth should be circulated /;
but sanguine emigrants and cOlonists should
think twice before accepting as yeritable these
tales of Aladdn-like wealth.

why Black!

1t is nothing but fashion that compels the
black garb as the sign Of grief that may
be more apparent than real. In this re-
spect many Of the Oriental nations are more
poetical than we, for they adopt not black
but yellow, as the color to be worn by those
whose friends have preceded them to the
grave. They do this, because yellow sym
bolizes the entrance Of the departed spirit
into the great yellow light Of the rising
dawn Of eternity day that is to be, where
there shall be no such thing as night or
darkness.
The compulsory wearing Of black among
Christian nations may be a small matter to
the rich when one Of their family or friends
departs to better world but to the poor
it is q serious business, and adds new ter
ror to the death which they depIore fhe
terror Of an expenditure which they can
not afford without depriying the living ol
that which is necessary to their life, aud
crippling their resources for many months
or it may be years Of painful abnegatlon
The luxury Of voc to the men ard womer
Of ten thousand may be as attractive lux
ury as any other, and the black attire may
be made as coquettish to the female ey'
and mind as the gaudiest colors in which j
may please beauty to bedizen herself o

seemingly respectable. But to the woma

The prescribed color Of death, the questiO
Of mourning, which fashion forces upon tn

! with insolvency or the pnching Of tn
stomach to be agreeable to the contempla
tion of the head Of the family, or Of he
who claims TO be more than half the hea

How Long to Sleep.

The fact is, that as life becomes concen-
trated, and its pursuits more eager, short
sleep and early rising become impossible.
We take more sleep than our ancestors,
and we take more because we want more.
Six hours sleep will do very well for
poughman or bricklayer, or any other man
who has no exhaustion but that produced
by manual labor, and the sooner he takes
it after his labor is over the better. But
for man whose labor is mental, the stress
of work is on his brain and nervous system,
and for him who is tired in the evening
with a day of mental application, neither
early to bed nor early to rise is wholesome.
He needs letting down to the level Of re-
pose. The longer the interval between the
active use of the brain and his retirement
to bed, the better his chance Of sleep and
refreshment. To him an hour after mid
night is probably as good as two hours be-
fore it, aud even then his sleep will not SO
completely and quickly restore him as it
will his neighbor, who is physically tired.
He must not only go to bed later, but lie
longer His best sleep probably lies in the
early morning hours, when all the nervous
excitement has passed away, and he is in
absolute rest.

Captain Jacks Gun.

The gun which Captain Jack fred during
the late unpleasantness between him and
the Government is now in the office occupied
by General Davis US his headquarters. 1t
shows the effect Of hard service, and appar-
emily often came in contact with hard rocks,
for it is scratched in every part, scarcely a
spot an eighth of an inch in extent being
untouched. 1t is one Of the old muzzle
loading rifles of the pattern of 1868. The
lock-plate contains the following inscription ;
"U. s. Colts pt. & Il. A. Mfg. Co., Hart
ford, Conn, 1868" 1t is rather an un-
wieldy weapon and is very long-about
four and a half feet. The barrel alone is
forty inches in length Ithas three sights,
one being marked for hundred yards,
another for three, and the other for five
hundred yards. The sling is made OF a
piece Of leather, which was apparently
broken in the center, for at that point It Is
fastened in the bands by pieces of buckskin,
The upper band is made of tin, and is tas-
tened to the stock with four small headless
nails. This piece of mechanism is appar-
emily the work of the hero of the lava beds,
and II shows that he prided himselfo on how
neatly it was done.-Portiand Balietia.

A peaceful life is most likely to be full
one, with finer and aeuter sensbilities bet
ter related to beauty and poetry and all
higher matters; more dignifed and self.
respecting Reposo is the secret Of power
in persons, pictures, statues, architecture,
books and Nature, as it were a means Of
retaining as well as disclosing life; and
health demands frequent pausing to re.
store the balance Of the system and keep
up perfect circulations. The night, ifspent
in healthy sleep after proper evening hours,
reduces the worlds chaos and we are new
every morning. Who does not know the
magic of brief pause in the midst of the
worst confusion A calm Of five minutes
will invite back our vagrant ideas and pow
ers. So the house should be like hush
and a lullaby in this headlong, whirling,
noisy, furious and distracted world Of the
nineteenth century; nook apart from the
thoroughfare; grot or bower under the
sky, where the beautiful spirit Of the all
will hover and dance its atmosphere
should be little oriental and cheering as
if exhaled from poppics and balsams.-

The BlOw-Fly.


Mr.. G.. A. Rowel has recently made an
astounding calculation respecting the blow
fly. Ga the authority of Reaumur, he
states that one fly will produce 1000 eggs,
which are batched almost as soon as depos-
tied. Maggots issue forth and almost i'm
mediately begin to feed, and twenty-iour
hours increase their weight 200 times. In
eight or nine days they are full grown
They then assume the pupa state, and after
another period Of about the same duration,
coma forth perfect flies A month, there
fore, is rather more than enough for gem
Grafton Suppose that Of the 90, 600 eggs
half produce females, then in the first fam
lily there will be 10000 flies, each capable
Of producing 10000 eggs. A very simple
calculation viii show that at this rate, in
less than six months, the sixth generation
will number 1000 100000 900, 600 ,0OO,-
900, 900. If every fly is half an inch
long, quarter of an inch wide, aud the
same depth-that is to say, if thlrty,two
Of them occupy cubic inch-there will be
enough to cover all England and Wales to
the depth Of $500 miles, or the entire
world both land and water to depth Of 1
mile aud a quarter. Fortunately for after
noon nappers, the juvenile blow-hy has {
terrible number Of enemies and worry rarely

TnE New MARRIAGE LAW IN Russia
A new law has been drawn up in Russia
to legalize the family relations Of those who
do not accept the established form Of faith.
Hitherto no marriage not celebrated in the
orthodox church has been valid the law
has not recognized the religious practices Of
the sects, so that marriages have no legal
validity, and children have no right to in
herit the property of their parents and re.
lations. Under the new law, though the
secis are ignored, their marriages are to be
