The proposition of Mr.. Hayes
and Mr.. Sherman to impose u tax
on tea and coffee Is not the least re-
markable of their numerous unpop-
ular suggestions. II Is coming In
for Just condemnation in all journals
except those 80 Thoroughly commit
ed to the Administration as to have
no views of their own. Bitter de-
nunciation Is the greeting II gets
from many Republicans In the
House, and there are Republican
Senators who do not hesitate to char
acterize 1t rs unwise and impolitic.
II is a universally admitted prin-
Ciple of taxation that no tax shall ba
laid on the necessaries of life 10 long
as such a course can be az Noided. IL
is only In great emergencies that
any government IL justified In Inn
posing an import dutyiyn articles of
universal consumption. So long as
the needful revenues can be raised
by the taxation Of luxuries they are
TO bear the burden. AS matter Of
course, The Post would prefer FREQ
trade, in the full senss of the term,
but as that Is not attainable at pres.
ent, we must be content with the
advocacy Of justice In the matter OF

GER Justice nor expediency in carry
ing into effect the suggestion of

We respectfully invite the atten-
ton Of Southern Republican to the
following short extract from a speech
recently delivered by Ex-Governor
Chamberlain, Of Maine, as In strik-
ing contrast with the usual current
from that directions;
"There are some men who will
not have 1t that the war II over un-
til they have their way. From
much of the talk OF late one would
think that all the trial and toll Of
the war was In vain; that these sol
diers and sailors Of yours did moth
ing of lasting value, and that toe
glorious and God-given victory
must count for naught, and that tho
real way to save the country Is TO
keep certain politicians Ia Office, ana
that servile following OF them Is the
only test Of loyalty to the Union.
For one, I resent this perversion OF
our motives and this belittling OF
our achievements. ! am Indignant
1T this insult to the memory of that
great company OF noble souls who
are martyrs In n sacred eause--a
triumphant cause. DO not mistake
the issue. Your sons will not have
died In vain because the rebellious
States are brought back into the
Union, and send their best men 70
represent them In Congress, even
though they had the courage to
WELD the sword instead Of tho pen
in the time of moral struggle. Men
who freely poured out their hearts
blood for their convictions, though
wrong, are less 10 be feared than
they who skulk In this rear and
gl0at over the strife so long ls they
can all their pockets with plunder
snatched alike from foe or friend"

then arrested, and subsequently,

illustration Of Its great value gave
the electric telegraph Ia England az
Impetus that made iss fortune, and
thereafter its adoption and extern
sion were rapid.
To convince various scientific
skeptics in regard 10 certain events
of Biblical narrative, Able MOigno,
editor of "Les Aondes," Of Paris,
proposes fitting out an archeologi-
cal expedition to search for the
remains of the Egyptian cavalry
buried In the Red Sea. His belief
is that these remains can be found
by digging for them, and that the
action of the salt in which they are
buried must have kept them In n
good state Of preservation.
Major j. w. Powell, who has giv-
en- much attention to Indian my
thologies, finds the philosophy Of
rain and snow entertained among
certain tribes a peculiar one. Ac-
cording to the Shoshones, a mon
ster serpent-god coils his back
against the ice of which the tirma-
ment is made, and rubs off flakes,
which fall as snow In winter, and
melt to form rain In summer. The
Oraibi believes that an upper god
makes rain by dipping feathers in
the lakes of the sky and sprinkling
the earth; but in winter the god
crushes the ice of the sky-lakes and
filings it down as snow.
A German engineer has discov-
cred on the site of ancient Perga-

Athena on the site of the Acropolis.
They include the altar, colossal
figures OF Eros, Of two re-
clining females, Of many Roman
ladies, of satyrs and tritons, togeth-
Pr with highly ornamental frieze
and hase of pedestal supporting a

SO that stomach digestion can be in
all respects initiated in a bottle.
Next comes ab.
sorption, by which the prepared
material is made to enter the blood.
This process was long considered to
be vital" but it is now universally
conceded to depend upon the physi-
cal property of osmose, which de-
/ termines currents of liquids placed
on opposite sides ofa porous septum,
whether of organic or Inorganic
character. The septum in the case
of absorption is the porous wall of
the vessel, and the endosmotic cur
rent is largely Influenced by the
presence of an active flow inside.
The circulation of the
blood is affected in part by the me-
chanical force-pump action of the
heart, and also beyond the COM
mencement of the capillaries) by
the molecular attractions and repul-
sions exerted by the blood and the
tissues upon each other, dependent
upon the changing chemical polari-
ties. The function of respiration
involves the principles of atmos-
pheric pressure, diffusion of gases
and the like, while the great and
important Office of secretion, carried |
on by the glands and membranes, is |
conducted through the agency of
cells, which undoubtedly owe their |
efficiency to the capillary force,
acting in accordance with physical
law, and which is influential in
causing the separation by them of
certain elements of the blood.
Enough has been said (without
going into abstractions) to illustrate
the general point with which we
out. 1t is not pretended
that the subject has been completely
elucidated-but this is certain, that
much in the living body previously
to the vital Is expllcahle
upon physical and chemical princi-
pies. This condition of life is seen
in and through a most
constructed machine,
which in all respects is unstable;
and however beautiful its construc-
ton, like other machines, it does
not create energy, but only directs
that which is applied. 1t is not,
then, an independent power.

A Nenv wenther rheorr.

II. Roe, f. r. A. s., in the Lon
don Times, says;
When the number representing
any given year is even and exactly
divisiOle by three, that year Is the
middle one of three cold and wet
summers.
When the number representing
the year Is odd and divisible by
three, then that Is the middle of q
triad of dry and OF summers.
For example, 1860 is even and
divisible by three, and the prevail
ing characteristic OF the tn. &c years
1859, 1860, 1861 was wet, or wet and
cold; aud again, 1868 Is odd and di-
visible by three, and everybody re-
members 1862, lS63 and 1854 as
bright, hot and dry summers.
Taking now a range of twenty
seven years over which my own
personal observations extend, aud
applying the rules just given, the
wet and cold triads were lS58-66,
lS59-Gl, l665-67, lS7l-73 and lS77-79;
while the dry and hot triads were
lS56-5S, lS62-64, lS6S.70 and lS7A-76,

year broke loose from this very
order of seasons, feaFlessly main
tain that all the markedly wet or
dry summers of the past twenty
seven years fall accurately within
some wet or dry period as given
above; so that no very wet year
falls in what should have been a
dry period, nor any very dry
year In what alphabetically was n
wet period.
The number 1881 is odd and di-
visible by three, and, II there Is
anything in my theory, that year
ought to be the middle one In n
triad Of hot and dry summers. /
am looking forward, therefore, with
much confidence to u good summer
in 1880, followed by t'9O similarly
good ones in 1881 and 1882, and for
the sake of every interest i'm the
country, / earnestly hope my eX-
pectation may not be disappointed.
