Limits of MULTIPLICATION.

Every species of creature goes on null
tiplying till it reaches the limit at which
its mortality from all causes balances its
fertility. Diminish its mortality, by
removing or mitigating any one of these,
and inevitably its numbers increase I'M
til mortality and fertility are again in
equilibrium. However many injurious
influences are taken away, the same
thing holds, for reason that the re-
naming injurious influences grow more
intense. Either the pressure on the
means of subsistence becomes greater;
or some enemy of the species, multi
plying in proportion to the abundance
of its prey, becomes more destructive !;
or some disease, encouraged by greater
proximity, become more prevalent.
This general truth, everywhere exem-
plified among inferior races Of beings,
holds of the human race. True, it is in
this case variously traversed and obscure.
By emigration, the limits against which
the population continually pres ses are
partially evaded ; by improvements in
production, they are continually re-
moved further away; and along with
increase of knowledge, there comes an
avoidance of detrimental agencies.
Still, these are but qualifications of an
inevitable action and reaction.

The Sanitary Influence of Light.

The sanitary influence of light can
scarcely be over-estimated. 1t is essen
tial to the full development of nearly
all animal and vegetable organisms.
Plants, when deprived of the influence
of light, become blanched and stunted
in growth, the process of fixing the car
bon in their tissues is arrested, II modi-
cation of the coloring principles takes
place, and they appear white instead OF
green. This is termed etiolation, or
blanching, and is applied by the garden
er and horticulturist, in the case of
certain kinds Of vegetables, to improve
their edible qualities. Childhood be-
ing, peculiarly, a period of growth
and development, it is especially i'm
portant that children should have the
fullest possible benefit of exposure to
direct sunlight. Many of the diseases
of the weak and emaciated children who
are reared in the narrow streets and
crowded teAement-houses of our large
cities, are attributable to the deficiency
of light and air. The sad effects of the
absence of light are, unfortunately, not
confined to those who, by the pressure
of poverty, are compelled to dwell in
localities and habitations where the So
lar rays vainly strive to enter In many
elegant mansions, whose occupants can
command every luxury within the reach
of wealth, we see the most ingenious
means adopted for eifctually excluding
light, with the inevitable result of seri-
ously impairing the health of the in
mates. The nursery, where children
necessarily spend so large portion of
their time, particularly during the
colder seasons of the year, should be
supplied with windows, and
should be selected with special refer
ence to the facility for securing the
genial and cheering influence OF the
sun. Greenhouses are constructed 80
as to secure the greatest supply of
light, and children require as much
light as plants. Light is not only
essential to the preservation of health,
but is equally important in the treat
nent of diseases There are a large
number of disorders which may be
greatly benefited, if not cured, by free
exposure to the light of the sun, while
{ certainly exerts an influence on the
mind favorable to recovery, which can
,ot be wholly explained by the mere
and calmness it produces.

by general fatigue, which is only a
modified paralysis. Thinking, as we
have seen, is closely related with the
cerebral circulation. When, by con-
tinued usage, the muscular tissue of the
blood vessels has become gradually be-
numbed, the blood, in place Of its
naturally rapid flow, circulates slowly
and sluggishly, and the functionary
energy of the brain is diminished. But,
with new exhibition of the stimulant,
the muscular contractibility is again
stimulated, the circulation becomes
quicker, the brain, abundantly and re-
gularly bathed by the life-blood, takes
up again it's functions, the brain-power
increases, ideas flow with greater rapid
ity; but the activity thus produced
cannot last. With this stimulation dis
appear the brilliant results which it had
produced, and the organ falls into re-
la1ed condition. from which only in
creased doses can temporarily rescue it.
One of the results upon the brain is
loss of memory. Many authors have
noticed this fact. The case of I Abbc
Moigno, the celebrated editor of Les
Mondes, is curious. He had often been
in the habit of taking snuff, which had
always led to preiudicial results. After
various temporary renunciations he had
returned to its use. In 1861, while en-
gagged in some mathematical labors, he
took twenty to twenty-five grammes
daily, and found himself continual,
having resource to the snuff-box. TIL,
effect was rapid extinction of the
faculty of memory. He had learned
several languages by their root words,
of which he knew from l,200 to l,5O0
of each tongue, but he found that his
power of recalling the words was gra
dually diminishing, and recourse to TIN
dictionary became each day more ncces-
sary. Struck with this fact, he resolved
to abandon the tabatiere and cigar.
Writing, after six years experience as a
non smoker, he says: at has been fol
us the commencement of n veritabc
resurrection of health, mind and memo
ry; our ideas have become more lucid, |
our imagination more vivid, our work |
easier, our pen quicker, and we have
seen gradually return that army OF |
words which had run away. Our memo
ry, in a word, has recovered all its
riches, all its sensibility."

Official Details OF the Recent AbOrigina
Battle.
The following account of the recent
fight between the Pawnee and Sioux In.
dians have been received at the war de,
partment through Gen'l Sheridan, from
the superintendent of Indian affairs
at Omaha. This morning John vii.
hanson, sub-agent in charge of the
Pawnee hunters, returned and said that
after a successful hunt in which they
had killed thousand buffalo, and be-
ing heavily laden with meat and hides,
on their return home they were sur
prised in camp by Sioux supposed to be
one thousand strong, and before they
could escape or make successful resist
ance nearly one hundred men, women
and children were slain and scalped.
The wounded, dead and dying and the
helpless children were thrown into a
heap and burned in the most barbarous
manner possible. Comparatively few
of the women and children of the tribe
were with them, but nearly all who
were there became victims of the ruth
less an unprovoked slaughter. Buffa-
loes had just been seen, possibly de-
coyed within their view, and many of
them were out after them. Sky, the
chief, was killed. Williamson made
his escape on horseback, but lost his
pack-horse and all his goods. Young
Platt, companion of Williamson, also
lost his horse. They met few soldiers
from Fort Mcpherson, and gave them
the particulars of the massacre. The
Pawnees, sorrowful and disheartened,
are returning home as fast as possible.
Williamson brought six badly wounded
Indians on the train to Silver Creek
station, and David Dains, with teams
had left to bring them home. Much
excitement prevails, and the spirit of
war is running at fever heat. William
sons runners report only two Sioux
killed.

The Bantam Tree.
A PiIlared Shade High Overarched.

A PiIlared Shade High Overarched.
The far-famed banian or Indian fig
(FIcus Hodica) is perhaps the grandest
of tropical trees, the most beautiful of
natures products, even in that fertile
soil kissed ever by the suns rays,
where she sports such profusion and
variety, clothing the earth in gorgeous
flowers, variegated mosses and featherv
ferns, till it seems to groan beneath the
manifold treasures of beauty and fra
GRANGE lavished thereon. This noble
tree grows wild in many eastern coun-
tries and islands, and sometimes attains
to size and extent that are marvellous
to contemplate. Shoots are everywhere
thrown out toward the ground from the
horizontal branches, increasing in size
as they tend downward, till at last they
strike into the ground and become stems.
From these shoot new branches, which
in their turn extend and form roots and
new stems, till at length solitary tree
becomes the parent of an extensive
grove appropriately characterized by
the bard as "a pillared shade high
overached." And as they are thus con-
tinually increasing, seeming meanwhile
almost exempt from the general law of
decay. tiny sapling borne to the spot
in an infants hand may come in time to
cover thousands of feet OF soil. Such
specimen is the noted Cubber Barr,
growing on picturesque little island
in the river Nerbudda, near Baroach, in
the province of Guzerat. This wound
erful tree, named after venerated
Hindoo saint, occupies space that ex-
ceeds two thousand feet in circumfer-
ence. The principal stems number
three or four hundred, and the smaller
ones more than three thousand, though
some have been destroyed by high
floods, that have carried away not only
portions of the giant tree, but OF the
banks of the island itself. The beauty
and magnitude of the Cubber Burr are
famous all over the east. Indian armies
have encamped beneath its sheltering
and Hindoo festivals, to
which thousands of votaries repair, are
often held under its leafy shadow. ]

papers intend to attempt to secure some mod-
ication of the postal law relative to the free
exchange OF newspapers. The post-offlce de.
partment is constantly in receipt of letters
from country publishers asking if there is no
possible construction of the law which would
| permit the exchanges to go free. The uni
form reply is, that all free mail matter is
abolished. The representations are that the
operations of the law are luinous to country
publishers. Many officials are Of the opinion
that some substitute for the franking-privilege
will be adopted by the next congress, such AZ
tho use of an official stamp by an officer all
thorized for the purpose, and put under bonds,
and this measure will be coupled with a pro-
position to permit the free exchange OF news
papers, in order to ecuremost voting strength.
Under the postal act which went into ef-
feet July |, the compensation of tho railroad
companies for the transportation of the mails
is to be adjusted in accordance with the weight
of the mails, the length Of the line, and the
character of the facilities offered by the road
under the law. The mails are to be weighedin
October as sample weighing, the roads hav-
ing objected to weighing at an earlier period,
claiming that the business Of the dull season
was not fair test of the average amount OF
mails.
Another question has been raised concern
ing back-pay. Treasurer Spinner holds that
senators and representatives, sending their
checks to him for the amount due them, under
the increase of salaries, do not thereby part
with the legal title or money, and that if they
shonld demand the return Of the funds at any
time, Or institute proceeding for its reclama-
ton, they would be very likely to succeed The
treasurer has never been legally authorized to
receive them money of the p'nitents, and besides
they part with it for no consideration, either
expressed or understood. However Gen'l Spin
ner says the question belongs to the lawyers,
of whom he is not one. On the other hand
the accounting officers Of the department say
that money once covered into the Treasury can
not be withdrawn, except by express act Of
congress, and that if any Of the gentlemen who
have deposited their drafts with treasurer Spin
ner expect to recover money on them in flu
ture, they will be disappointed.

could find ample shelter under its wide
spread branches; and we often knew of
English gentlemen forming hunting or
shooting excursions to the island, and
encamping for weeks together beneath
this delightful pavilion. Their only
hosts were frolicsome monkeys and
whole colonies Of doves, peacocks, wood
pigeons and beautiful singing birds,
that find permanent abode among the
thick foliage, and plentiful sustenance
from the small scarlet-colored figs that
hang pendent from every branch. The
banian tree may be regarded as a natu-
raj temple in oriental regions, and the
Hindoos especially look upon it with
profound veneration, Tiny, fancifully-
adorned temples and pagodasarc erected
beneath its shadowy boughs, where are
pleasant walks and long vistas of UNI
brageous canopy, eflectually shielded
from the fierce rays Of the tropical sun.
Many Brahmins spend their entire lives
within these quiet retreats, and all ranks
and classes seek them for quiet rest and
recreation. The banian is styled also
d" the tree of councils" from the preva-
lent custom of assembling Legislators,
magistrates and savants under it's pro-
tecting canopy to deliberate on civil
affairs while all around, ensconced in
every niche, are the tutelary gods and
goddesses that mako up the Hindoo
mythology. 1t is indeed a quaint,
wiered spot, full of the witchery of ro-
nance and legendary lore; and though
years have passed since I last sat under
the Cubber Burr's sheltering boughs
with merry party of picnicking mai
dens, now grown to womanhood, imagi-

and build fairy castles within
