mans testimony.


You remember how you were startled
a few years since, by voice from the
scientific world, claiming that the mcros-
cope could detect tile image of the MUIR
dercr on the retina OF his victims eye,
thus referring the matter to witness
that cannot be bribed-to Judge that
would not hesitate to condemn the duke
in the heart Of his duchy, or the king in
his purple.


The microscope is peace maker, a
settler of disputes. Some hundred years
since, it was asserted, in contradiction to
history and Tradition, by a learned savan
of France, that the wrappings Of the
Egyptian mummies were of cotton.
From this sprang n curious and volumin-
GUS discussion pro and con- In the midst
Of these philosophical discussions, some
man concei, ell the idea of appealing to
the microscope, when the question was
forever settled. 1t was then discovered
that the fibres Of the cotton were com
posed of transparent tubes, while those of
the fax were joincd like cane. The fibre
of the mummy clothes was shown to be
jointed as in the flax Of the present day.


The microscope has put at rest the
doubts and controversies of distinguished
paacontoIogists concerning the ahinities
of the gigantic mcgathcrum, by pointing
to the tissue Of its dental organs. By the
same curious and delicate method, it has
forever decided the questions, which
agtated the scientific world, Of the exist

REMARKABE EsCAPE.-The follow
ing beats all the stories Of remarkable
escapes which We remember to have
heard: "On the passage of the ship
Alexander from New Orleans to New
York, a young lad, about fourteen years
of age, from naturally frolicsome and
mischievous disposition, became so
troublesome in his pranks that he was
threatened by the captain, if they were
continued, that be would eohne him in
q water cask. The youngest took no
heed, however, and at his next offence
was put in the cask, which was headed
up, leaving a large bunghole for the ad-
mission of air. That night the ship
encountered violent storm, and in a
sudden lurch, the cask containing the
boy rolled over into the sea. The
circumstance was not noticed by those
on board. Fortunately the cask struck
bung up, and foated about thirty hours,
when it was thrown upon the beach at
St. Bias. Here the boy made desper-
ate efforts to extricate himself from his
prison, without success, and, in despair,
gave up to die. Some COWS, however,
strolling on the beach, were attracted
to the cask, and, in walking around it,
one Of them, it being fly time, switched
her tail into the bung hole, which the
lad grasped with desperate resolution.
The COW beloved and set off for life,
and after running some two hundred
yards with the cask struck it against a
log on the beach, and knocked it, as We
say, into cooked hat. The boy, thus
providentially released, was discovered
by some fishermen on the Point and
taken into Appalachicola, where small
collection being made for him, he was
enabled to proceed north by way of
Columbus"

Do the people of Ottumwa mean to say by this

TnE New York Daily News is distressed bv
the apprehension that the blacks of the Son,i
may obtain political and social ascendencv

trouble:


'.rhe transition is quite facile, from equal
lily to superiority, when the ofiicesare held By
negroes, and justice is administered BY mulat
toes and nelees. What guarantees have the
whites b Z, that when this superiority is attained
and they feel their power, they will not pass
local laws discriminating between the whites
and excluding them from the benefit of equal
ity! 1t becomes a serious question whether
IN view OF this fact, the South ought not to
make some compromise with the radicals
and accept equality rs proposed, provided
guarantees are gwen that the negro shall not
become the white mans MASTER,


The copperheads have our condolence.-
Some Law should be passed preventing the

NJ. Geotfroy, of Paris, asks, in an art-


Gle in the Moatiear, what may be the


utility of the moon with regard to our


planet, and whether it is only there for


the purpose of raising the waters Of the

that, besides the great planets that are


carried along regular path round the


sun, there exists an unlimited number ct


bodies of different sizes, moving through
space in every direction, as the almost


daily discovery of vast number Of as


,erods proves. In his opinion the moon


was once one Of those erratic bodies, and,


happening one day to get within the sphere
of attraction of our planet, was forced to
become our satellite, instead Of continuing
its own course Hence, the moon is but
an accident. The earth had done without
1t before, and might do without it again.
Venus was about the size of the earth,
and goes regularly round the sun, although
1t has no satellite. Why should the earth
need one He continues to say that our
moon is Of no use to us, because we might
perfectly well do without oceanic aud at
mospheric tides, and the best eulogium he
can pass on our satellite being that it is
utterly useless, be goes further aud de-
clares that We owe it to the merest chance,
it having been picked up, as it were, on
the way and as such a thing might hap
pen again, the author sees no impossbili,y
in our getting some day another,
and perhaps more moons still, added to
our stock. NJ. Geoffroy is one os those
who deny that the moon is inhabited
First, because the excessive cold there
must prevent the possibility of any ami
NAL life; and, second, because the moon
has no atmosphere.
