An Indian Grass Dance.

A correspondent of the Louisville
Courier.J Journal writes from Fort Sully,
Dakota Territory: Indoors was i'm
possible, without an invitation to the
Indian grass dance. The something to
breathe, seemingly beyond the usual in
Dakota deliciousness, called all but the
hardened in laziness to early walks.
Immediately after guard-mounting the
walkers beyond the ravines saw the gay
colors of the after dancers, coming in
twos and threes up the valley, winding
through the ravines and hurrying across
the plain on both sides Of the fort,
wrapped in blankets, with bundles OF
what afterward proved to have been the
lighter coquetries Of sdornment. II was
a spring-like suggestion the number Of
green blankets gave. 1t was about
noon when the whole party had collected

had seats in the windows looking down
on the bright, sunny, changing scene.

edly celebrated ana popular medicines have

have for many years obstruoted the progress
Of medical science. The false supposition
that Consumption is incurable deferred
physicians from attempting TO find remedies
for that disease. and patients afflicted with il

The sum OF Tyndali's Life TheOry

The London Globe says: Professor
TyndalPs laborious address to the British
Association may be readily summed up
by the simple restatement of a very old
argument. An egg contains all the
material pecesSary to form a chick. 1t
holds also, for time at least, the force
requisite to construct the animals out Of
its component elements. The only thing
needed is to set the formative process in
action by the application Of another form
Of force or motion called heat. But this
last must be supplied from without. The
sum Of Professor Tyndall's researches is
precisely analogous. He finds in matter
the promise and potency of every form
and quality of life, Just as the naturalist
and the organic chemist find the organic
materialsof chick, and the promise
and potency to form one, within the egg.
she'll. But neither the philosopher nor
the experimentalist can &c one step
beyond the facts. They are wholly
unable to explain the something from
without, in whose absence neither an
egg full nor world Of life can be called
into palpable existence. This is the
point'at which philosophy again arrives
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1875-01-12

the old point at which it has been
arriving by various paths ever since the
first effort to penetrate an inscrutable
mystery. The Egyptians symbolized
the difficulty, and their inability to sur
mount it, by offering the mysterious egg
reverently TO their gods. They laid the
unsolved problem Of the finite at the feet
Of the Infinite. Professor Tyndall and
the British Association might learn wis.
dom, without humiliation, from the an
cient idolators and emulate their not
ignoble submission"
