DR.. TYNDALL, in recent lecture on tho
results of an optical examination OF air, with
reference to the germs of putretaction and
disease, showed that where air is filtered
through compressed cotton, it is thoroughly
purified from all floating germs and that it
will not transmit light. A glass chamber
filled with purified air, remains dark even
when placed in the track Ola concentrated
beam of light. The inference is consequent.
Iy made by DR.. Tyndall that air which has
lost it's power of scattering light, has also
los. its power of producing life.
He also finds that air can be rendered op-
ticaly pure by leaving it undsturbed three
or four days in close chandler. all tho
floating matter subsidies, and the confined
air will not transmit light. Solutions placed
therein remain unsltered, though LETT for
months, while similar solutions open to tho
ordinary air swarm with bacteria in twenty.
four hours or two days The conclusions of
DIR. Tyndall are claimed rs great triumph
by the opponents of the hypothesis of spon-
taneous generation, as showing that where
the germs OF organic life arc eliminated from
the atmosphere there is no development of
living forms in properly prepared solutions.

ON TUE LEADING VICES OF AMERICAN
PoLITICs.

The ambition OF our simple republican
officials is to vie with the extravaganza Of
royalty. When any one of our citizens is
elected to any Office, he is previously tempt
cd to feel like an emperor. From apostion
where he was accustomed to obey, he has
suddenly been raised to a place from which
lie now issues orders cxacting the obcdi.
ence of Others. lie cannot resist feeling i'm
perial Men hesitate not to respond with an
alacrity that delights him, to his most auto
tocratic demands. Feeling like king hc
must needs look and dress like one. His
wife, at least in elegance of personal attire
and expensvenes Of social entertainments
mnst appear to be the regal one who is en-.
throned at his side. His sons and daught.
ers, too, are unable to hide the conception of
the magniicence Of the paternal preferInent.
A very slight majority of sufferages may
thus translate Il plain family into all the con.
temptible conceits ofroyalty. Thus do our
innocent votes annually constitute an exceed.
ingly numerous and exceedingly unfortunate
American nobility. The American throne is
of course at Washington, the royal retinue
in purple and gold issues from various de
partments OF the imperial household. The
splendors OF our republican court are well
known. The same feelings are there as reign
ed in the breasts of Louis, the magnificent
Bourbon, and Napoleon, the imperial sCourge
The only embarrasmcnts American royalty

From tho correspondence lately published in the

particular sxtradision crime for which he was sur
rendered. 10 the proper and accepted

sisted that such not the proper the rule
but that tho Limitation should be that q surrendered
criminal should DO tried for offence other than OF
tho exsradtion crimes named In the treaty Lord Derby
referred 10 the fact that many countries had negotiated
treaties with Great Britain under tho Of 1870
evidence that the British rule had been adopted and
among them Denmark and Belgium As Great
Britain had bound herself by the act Of 1870
these countries appear TO have made treaties
hereunder, bus In support Of Mr. Fish's view Is APP
pears that somc weeks since when Belgium and Dem
