THE PHILOSOPHY OF LoN6 LIFE.

But few men die OF age. Almost ;til die
of disappointment, passional, mental, or
bodily toll. or accident. The passions kill
men sometimes, even suddenly. The
common expression, "chocked with pas
sion," has little exaggeration in it; for
even though not suddenly fatal, strong
passions shorten life Strong-bodied men
often die young-weak men live longer
than strong, for they use their strength,
and the weak have none TO use. The latter
take care of themselves and the former do
not. As it is with the body, so i: is with
the mind, and temper. The strong are
apt to break, or like candle to run
the weak burn out The inferior animals
which live in general regular and temper
ate lives, have generally their prescribed
term of years. The horse lives about TWEEN
ty-fve years; the OK fifteen or twenty ;
the dog ten or twelve the catare told, ABOUT
twenty the rabbit eight The duration OF
life in all these bears a similar proportion
to the time it takes the animal to grow to
its full size. Bat man, of all the animals,
is the one that seldom comes up 10 his
average. He ought to live a hundred
years, according to his physiological law,
for five times twenty are one hundred ;
but instead Of that he scarcely reaches, on
the average, four times his growing period.
the cat six times; the RABBIT even eight
times the standard OF measurement.
The reason for all this is,obvious. Man i,
not only the most Incorporate. but the
most laborous and hard worked, OF all
animals and there is reason to believe
though we cannot tell what an animal
secretly ieels-that, more than any other
animal, man cherishes wrath to keep ii
warm, and consumes himself with the fire
of his own secret reflections Besides
this, man is the only animal which makes
wide departure from those laws OF Ma
turc which control life. He takes on I'M
hallowed and health destroying habits,
carrying them to the verge of the grave,
and clinging to them with Il tcnacity
which yields not even to his better ludg,
ment. The lower order of animals never
do this Instinct is their guide and the
superior duration of life they enjoy Is
proof of the folly of man.-Inrestigat0r.

INDIAN AGENT INGALLS,.

A day or two since we remarked that
it was always best not to oppose the
ladies'. We reckon that by this time Mr.
Indian Agent Ingalls, has found that out.
1t appears that this official, after the
wont Of Indian agents in general, has
been indulging in the prevalent ailment
which has SO severely afflicted Washing
ton. of keeping accounts loosely" This
lax system of bookkeeping did not suit
Mrs. Jennings. who resided on the site
of the proposed reservation on the Mud
dy. and to whom large sum was due.
SO she forthwith posted off to Washing
ton and carried the war into Africa. She
has been there several months, and the
result of her exertions is best described
in her own expressive language, con-
tanned in letter from Washington which
We publish in another column. Now We
do not expect Indian agents to be hon.
est as rule, for there is some latent poi
son in the position, which seems to
transform every person who undertakes
the duties of that Office into a public
plunderer, or rather, to use the delicate
phraseology of Congress, into keeping
accounts loosely. Conceding, therefore,
the inherent and unsurmountable diff
Guilty of being an Indian agent, and at
he hat.r, that "a M
reason that those officials should become
slanderers and abuse the people whom
they are plundering. From Mrs. Jen-
nings' letter. it would seem that Mr.. In
gals has been vilifying the people of
Nevada generally. and this section par
ticularly. We cannot think Of any prov
ocation that Mr.. ingalls, has received to
justify him in scandslizing whole COM
munity. All that he had to do was to
mind his business. keep his hands from
picking and stealing. and try to perform
the duties OF his office, il not faithfully
as nearly so, as his acquisitive propen-
sites would permit him. In that case
we are sure that our citizens would never
trouble their heads about him, or other
such very small game. When, however,
such Mawworms as he is, makes it their
business to denounce men who are in
every way superior to him in all quail
ties Of good citizenship and usefulness,
it is time to speak out and show the
world what nasty wriggling creature it
is that seeks to raise itself by assailing
others, n he had contented himself
with dealing out to the Indians rotten
bacon, weevily beans and shoddy blan-
kets after the well approved custom of
his class, that would have been too COM
mon to excite remark, but when he goes
out of his way to abuse the hardy set
tiers, who form the advance guard Of
civilization in this region, forebearance
is out Of place. Therefore, as some off.
Gals from Washington will shortly arrive
this canting hypocrlte, it is to be hoped
that all the citizens of Lincoln county
who have had any dealings with this
