A GOOD WORD FOR HUMAN NATURE.
1t was the genial Diedrich Knickerbocker
who said !: ~ have not so bad an opinion
of mankind as many of my brother philos-
ophers. do not think poor human nature
SO sorry a piece of workmanship as they
would make it out to be; and as far as /
have observed, | am fully satisfied that
man, if left to himself, would about as
readily 60 right as wrong. 1t is only this
eternally sounding in his ear that il is his
duty to 60 right, which makes him go the
reverse. The noble independence Of his
nature reyolts at this intolerable tyranny of
law. and the perpetual interference of
officious morality, which are ever besetting
his path with fnger-posts and directions to
keep to the right. as the law directs :
and like spirited urchin, he turns directly
contrary and gallops through mud and
mire, over hedges and bitches, merely to
show that he is lad of spirit and out Of
his leading-strings."

ATTENTION, LADIEs.-In answer to
the many inquiries about MRS. REYNOLDS, OF
Philadelphia, whose advertisement appeared
in our columns short time ago, we will say that
she has recovered from her late illness, and has
taken rooms at No. S16, Fourth street, between
Broad and Marshall, where she is prepared to
exhibit and give instructions in the use of "Corn-
wells self.ftting waist and shoulder chart"
We need not describe this great improvement
on the old method of cutting and fitting ladies'
dresses, basques. sacques. &C., as we understand
Mrs. reynolds will take pleasure In cutting
dress linings patterns, &c. free ofcharge, for any
ladies who desire to test the advantages of this
method. The ladies of this city are invited to
call and see her during the few days she viii b.

. THIS is the way Dubuque papers make
living: 1.-THE wonderfully-beautifnl suit of
hair which the prevailing fashion warranted
the exhibition of upon our streets, last
week, which everybody admired and many
ladies envied, belongs to Mrs. Jane Sanders,
of Grinnell-another Iowa growth, worthy
of premium. The lady is not at liberty
to wear it always down, upon the street,
according to fashion, because so many
children, in their admiration, run after and
take hold Of it; but it is great luxury
for her to loosen it while indoors, on &C.
count of its oppressive weight when done
up. ~

Dipping the Hand Into Molten Iron.
The thing has been done over and over
again, observed DIR. Carpenter in recent
lecture-that man has gone and held his
naked hand in such stream of molten iron,
and has done it without the least injury ali
that is required being to have the hand
moist, and il his hand is dry, he has
merely to dip it in water, and he may
hold his hand for certain time in that
stream of Molten iron without receiving any
injury whatever. This was exhibited pub
licly at meeting of the British association
at Ipswich, many years ago. 1t is one of
the miracles of science, SO to speak they
are perfectly credible to scientific men, be-
cause they know the principle upon which
it happens, and that principle is familiar
to you all that if you throw drop of
water upon hot iron, the water retains its
spherical form, and does not spread upon
it and wet it. I.ss
Vapor is brought to that condition BY
intense heat, that it forms sort of film,
or atmosphere. between the hand aud the
hot iron, and for time that atmosphere is
not too hot to be perfectly bearable. There
are q number of these miracles of science,
which we believe, however Incredible at
first sight they may appear, because they
can be brought to the test of experience
and can be at any time reproduced under
the necessary conditions. Houdin, the
conjurer, in his very interesting autobi-
ography-a listle book l would really
recommend to any of you who are
interested in the study of the workings of
the mind-Houdin tells you that he himself
tried this experiment, after good deal of
persuasion /; and he says that the sensation
Of immersing his hand in this molten
metal was like handling liquid velvet.

Z Mrss ABBIE CLEAvEs, Of Davenport,
has peen appointed assistant physician Of
the Iowa hospital for the insane, at Mount
Pleasant. Miss Cleaves is graduate Of
the medical department. of the State uni
versity, and was the first in her class. The
wisdom of the selection of an able, educa-
ted and refined woman for this position
will at once be conceded. She has made
the mental and physical diseases of woman
q specially in her studies, and enters on
the discharge of her duties with full
knowledge of its needs and responsibilities.
