Wendell Phillips, in his Lecture on the
"Lost Arts" says of the first accounts we
find of the microscope:


Cicero said that he had seen the entire
Iliad, which is poem as large as the New
Testament, written on skin so that it could
be rolled up in the compass of nutshell.
Now this is imperceptible the ordinary
eye. You have seen the Declaration of In
dependence in the compass of quarter of
a dollar, written with glasses,


Ifyou go to Parma they will show you a
gem once worn on the finger Of Michael
Angelo, of which the engraving is 1900
years old, on which there are the figures of
seven women. You must have the aid of
glass in order to distinguish the forms at
all.


I have friend who has ring, perhaps,
three-auarters of an inch in diameter, and
on it is the naked figure of the god
Hercules. By the aid Of glasses you can
distinguish the interlacing muscles, and
count every separate hair on the eye
brows.


Layard says he would be unable to read
the engravings on Nineveh without strong
spectacles, they are so extremely small.
RawIinson brought home stone about 20
inches long and 10 wide, containing an en-
tire treatise ON mathematics. It would be
perfectly illegible without glasses.


Now, if we are unable to read it without
the aid of glasses, you may suppose the
man who engraved it had pretty strong
spectacles. So, the microscope, instead of
dating from our time, finds its brothers in
the Books of Moses-and these are infant
brothers.

This irrepressible speaker, comic and
tragic actor and mimic made his debut last
night before New Orleans audience at the
st. Charles Theatre. He spoke and acted
for three hours, and if his audience had not
shown signs of becoming wearied would
doubtless have continued for three hours
longer, fully establishing at least one Of the
points he set out to make, namely, his phys
ical power. He announced himself as a
candidate for President of the United
States in the most serions manner, and then
proceeded to pitch into Grant and Greeley,
handling them without gloves.


He spoke of many other public men of
our country, without having a good word
for any but Train-the peoples candidate,

From the Christian Union.


Now, then, people can take their
choice Of the three G's-Grant,
Greeley, Groscbcck; the brave sol
dier, the skillful editor, the acute
lawyer; the old Republican, the new
Rcpublican-Democrat, the old
Democrat. AS for ourselves, we
stand by our colors-Grant and
Wilson, and the old Republican
party, which has been bred and
proved i'll stormy days, when the
whole nation leaned upon it and
found it sure support. 1t went
through the fire and flood to save
our country. We do not believe that
the common people Of America are
ready to throw away an old servant,
and put in its place a party whose
whole strength lies in the adhesion
to it Of the very men whom the Re
publican party has fought before, at
Shiloh, at Vlcksburg, ut Gettysburg,
and around Richmond. They tried
to take Washington several times
before. They could not do it by
bullets, and we do not intend that
they shall BY ballots. This coun-
try is not prepared to pass the gov
ernment into the hands of that par
ty which has for fifteen years done
nothing but fight those laws and
that policy which they hope soon to
construc and administer. 1t is rot
even pretended that the rank and
file of the Democratic party have
been converted to those ideas for
which the whole war was waged.
They have changed their policy,
but not their convictions. They
will go to Washington as Liberal
Republicans, but once there they
will throw OFF the odious name, and
stand forth out-and-out Democrats.
The old questions are not settled.
1t is not likely that any party will
attempt to overthrow the constitu-
tional amendments. But a law NAV
be made nuSatory without abolish
ing it. The spirit Of an adminstra-
ton may neutralize constitutional
provision without attacking its
letter.


If the Republican party is defeat
ed 1t will be mainly by the concen-
tration Of Democratic votes, North
and South. The Democratic Gle

extent that it will be impossible to
carry on the government except by
its political and moral influence

small quantities of sea bottom have

of the sounding line.

each finger are touched from the palms
towards the tip they count one, two and
