there will be no special changes in the

rather conservative on this question-slow

The over-virtuous members of Congress

himself the role Of lecturer i'm the

DEATH OF PROF. AGAssIZ.

Although the death of Prof. Agassiz,
which intelligence is given in our dis
patches, is not altogether unexpected, it is
nevertheless an event which will cause
sorrow and regret in every civilized coun-
try on the globe. He has been in critical
condition for several days, but though his
friends felt solicitous about him, they had
not lost all hopes of his recovery. He died
Yesterday at his home in Cambridge, Mas
sachusetts.
Prof. Agassiz was born in the year 1907,
May 2Sth. He was of French
descent, but was educated and
spent most of his early life, before COM
ing to America, in Germany. In early
life he chose the profession of medicine,
and at the age of seventeen he entered a
Medical School at Zurich. He remained
there two years and then went to Heldle-
burg, where he pursued his studies under
the direction of such distinguished in
structors as Tiedemapn, Leuckart and Bis
choff. He afterwards attended the Univer-
sity at Munich and prosecuted his studies
in the most thorough manner. He con-
tinued to improve upon the advantages
thus gained, throughout his entire
life, and attained di stinc ito
in the scientific world that few men
have reached, in this or any other age. In
fact, in some respects, he stands in the his
tory of the past without a peer. As a
naturalist, he stood in the foremost ranks,
and is the author of some works on that
subject which have commanded universal
admiration, and have been read with in
tense interest by the ripest scholars of the
nineteenth century. He devoted seven
years of his life to the study of ichthy.
ology, and then published work on
the subject that has never been excelled.
He visited England several times, as we'll
as other parts of Europe, and was every
where received with respect and enthusi-
asm. He was the honored guest of the no.
! bility of every nation he visited and his
views were regarded with interest by edu-
Gated men in every country.
For about twenty-seven years he has
been a resident of the United States, dur
ing which time his biography belongs to
our scientific history. He has lectured in
nearly all the principal cities in this coun-
try, with pleasure to his audiences, which
he never failed to obtain, and with pecuni-
AIRY profit to himself. For several years,
hew was engaged in arranging the material
collected in his many explorations in every
State in the Union. He has found time to
make valuable contributions to natural
history, which have been given to the
public in books, magazines and the newspa.
pers. He was frequent contributor to
the leading scientific journals of this coun-
try and Europe, and wrote communications
to the learned societies, in many of which
he was an active member. Perhaps nc
man has exercised more profound influ-
cnce on the scientific development of the
United States than he. His death is q
loss which cannot be estimated. 1t will
be keenly felt over the country, and espe-
cially in scientific circles.

a slit the entire length of the carcass from
the chin over the center of the breast in the
line of the navel to the vent Let him now
stand by its side, with his face looking the
way its head lies, and taking the toretoot in
his left hand, run the point of the knife in
the line Of the foot and cap OF the knee, up
the front Of the leg, and into the central slit
Of its bosom. For the hind leg, having re-
versed his position, let the slit be made in
the heel, over the center of the cap Of the
hook down the back Of the ham to the GEN.

out will have square form without long
