Another Old Cl Ii Ben lieuo I
Copt. John Dean, an old and highly
respectable citiaea of Clarke county, died at
hie plantation Saturday, and was buried
with Masonic honors, Sunday. The deceased
was distinguished for his hospitality, gene
rosity and sterling integrity, and was, we
believe, upwards of eighty years old- Mrs.
Dean was buried on the preceding Suuday
—having died just one week before her hus
band.

Stump Speech—in Court.
A fine opportunity was presented the dis
tinguished counsel for the plaiutiff (f) in the
libel case, yesterday, to deliver himself of
the chaste speech he was not allowed, much
to his disappointment, to utter before tho
Commission at the meeting on Tuesday
afternoon. He took occasion, in ostensibly
addressing the jury, to pander to the appe
tites and prejndicos of the crowd in attend
ance, by ‘'throwing dirt” at the Proprietor
of the Daily Press. lie (the distin
guished Advocate) resorted to his favorite
mode of argument — by calling Mr. Puohe a
“sealiwag,” declaring that all that kept his
filthy sheet going was General Order 49, that
he, "the pet of the Bureau,” was “backed by
bayonets,” and was, indeed, “a sneaking
hound.” Unable, mentally or intellectually,
to answer the masterly argument and appeal
of the scholarly lawyer who preceded him,
the ex-“goveruor,” true to his instinct, acted
the blackguard to perfection.
Insensible to shame himself, wo could but
feel pity for the poor trans-Oeonce Governor
in his senseless ravings.
Atmospheric Chances.
The causes of certain atmospheric phe
nomena have been discussed by a scientific
French professor, who maintains that these
causes are internal. Taking it for granted
that the central mass of the globe is fluid
fire, it is urged that the vapor therefrom,
acting against the inner surface of the earth's
crust by which it is enclosed, will, by ex
citing powerful electrical currents, produce
sudden chauges above the surface. He
maintains that another effect of the internal
pressure will be continual changes of level
on the outer surface, so much so that, in liib
point of view, there is no such thing as firm
land. This is a very uncomfortable theory
for the inhabitants of the outer crusts of this
planet, especially in those regions recently
shaken by earthquakes.
Heat from the Stars.
It is a starring fact that if the earth were
dependent alone upon the sun for heat, it
would not get heat enough to keep existence
in animal and vegetable life upon its surface.
It results from the researches of Pouillet
that the stars furnish heat enough in the
course of a year to melt a crust of icc
seventy-five teet thick—almost as much as is
supplied by the sun. This may appear
strange when we consider how immeasurably
small mast be the amount of heat from any
one of those distant bodies. But the surprise
vanishes when we remember that the whole
firmament is so thickly sown with stars
that in some places thousands are crowded
together within a space no greater than that
occupied by the full moon. The eye can not
see more than a thousand at the same time
in the clearest heaven, yet the number is
probably indefinite. From the first to the
sixth magnitude inclusive, the total number
of visible stars is 3,138.
Perpetual motion.
The Petersburg Express says Mr. W. D.
Wright, of that city, has invented a machine
that comes nearer perpetual motion than
anything we have read or heard of, and all
it lacks is the proper machinery to make it
perfect, for which purpose he will visit
Baltimore next week. His model consists
of two boxes about four inches apart, which
contains the machinery, connected with two
tracks, one with a grade of two and a half
inches, and the other about or.e inch. The
hall used is a canister shot found on the
battle field, April 2d, 1865, snd weighs six
ounces, which is placed upon the top track
and started. It passes through the box
down on the lower track into tho other box,
causing a hell to strike as it passes through
to the top track, and continues on as long
as the ball remains on the track. This is
certainly a curious invention.
Honor Your Husinoss.
It is a good sign when a man is proud of
his calling. Yet nothing is more common
than to hear men finding fault constantly
with their particular business, and deeming
themselves unfortunate because fastened to.
it by the necessity of gaining a livelihood.
In this spirit men fret, and laboriously
destroy all their comlort in tho work ; or
they change their business, and go on mis
erably, shifting from one thing and to
another, till the grave or the pool-house
gives them a fast grip. But while occasion
ally a man fails iu life because he is not in
the place fitted for his peculiar talents, it
happens ten times oftener that failure results
from neglect, and even contempt, of an
honest business. A man should put lii3
heart into everything that he does. There
is not a profession that has not its peculiar
cares and vexations. No man will escape
annoyances by changing business. No mer
cantile business is altogether agreeable.
Commerce, in its endless varieties, is affected
like all other human pursuits, with trials,
unwelcome duties, and spirit-tiring necessi
ties. It is the very wantonness of folly for a
man to search out tho frets and burdens of
hia calling, and give his mind every day to
a consideration of them. They belong to
human fife. They are inevitable. Brooding,
then, only gives them strength. On the
other hand, a man has power given to him
to shed beauty and pleasure upon the home
liest toil, if he is wise. Let a man adopt his
business and identify it with his life, and
cover it with pleasant associations ; for God
has given us imagination not alone to make
some poets, but to enable all men to beautify
homely things. Heart-varnish will cover up
innumerable evils and defects. Look at the
good things. Accept your lotas a man does
a piece of rugged ground, and begin to get
out tho rocks and roots, to deepen and mel
low the soil, to enrich and plant it. There is
something in the most forbidding avocation,
around which a man may twine pleasant
fancies—out of which he may dcvelopc an
honest pride.
lab Printing.
K. H. Ptfuwx's Printing Office, 190 Broad
street, is amply supplied with all necessary
presses and types, and other materials, to do
all kinds of job work with neatness, prompt
ness, accuracy and dispatch, and at the
lowest prices. Persons wanting cards,
circulars, loiter aud bill heads, programmes,
prospectuses, pamphlets, and, in fact, any
one wishing printing done, will do well to
give him a call. He is determined not to
be outdone either in quality of the work done,
or in tho price it may be doue for. Patrons
may rely on their work being cheaply,
quickly, and well done.
Plaut—Planl—Plaiil.
To our readers we say, Plant. Except tho
tenderest vegetables, the seed of all other
varieties may now be planted in this climate.
The cost of seed is trifling, compared with
the profits of very early crops. By planting
now, you get ahead of grass and cut worms.
Better spend a little extra labor in protect
ing your early vegetables from a few cold
nights, than to spend days of toil in sub
duing tho grass that comes up with, and
outgrows the tender plant. It is as well,
too, that the frost should compel you to
replant as that the cut worm should. There
fore, plant—plant ogaiu— keep planting, and
your perseverance will be richly rewarded.

Washington Items.
Washikgtox, January 22.—The Secretary
of Navy has sent Congress an amended esti
mate, reducing the naval expenses twenty
two million dollars.
In connection with Grant’s reported oppo
sition to the new reconstruction act, it is
regarded as significant that Washburne, of
Illinois, though in his seat, did not vote for
or against the bill.
The case reported below is from Louis
iana: “Armstrong worked his foundry in
New Orleans, while Lovell commanded
making shot and shell for the Confederates.
When New Orleans was captured, Armstrong
took the oath, and continued working his
factory, which was afterwards seized and
condemned. Armstrong’s pardon is dated
March.” The Armstrong foundry case,
pending in the Supreme Court, is very much
contested. First the Attorney General
moved to dismiss the appeal, insisting the
case should be heard on Writ of Error. In
this he was overruled. Second Armstrong
moved to file a plea of pardon, which the
Attorney General resisted. Leave was given
after argument to file the plea, so that the
case will now be heard on the merits, and
will come up next week.
the Attorney General represents the
United States, and Hon. Humphrey Mar
shall, of Kentucky, appears for Armstrong.
The ease is considered a leading one,
which must decide the points—lst. Whether
a seizure and capture are the same. 2d
Whether property liable to capture and
prize embraces land held by private title.
3d. Whether property tainted by the guilty
consent ot the owner is relieved by his par
don after condemnation and before sale.
4th. Whether the citizen, shut up in a place
occupied by Confederate arms, can be re
sponsible to the United States for a breach of
the municipal law under command of the
Confederates. sth. Whether the Constitu
tion operates with its guarantee upon him
when the United States recover the city.
