A Medicine that never Debilitates!
DR. S ABB FORD’S
INVIGORATOR,
OR LIVER REMEDY,
THB IS ON EOF THE GREATEST SCIENTIFIC MBDl
cil discoveries ever made, and is daily working cures
almost too great to befeve. It cures as it by magic, even
the first dose giving benefit, an 1 seidom more than one bo'tle
is required to cure iany Kind of Liver Complaint, from the
worst Jaundice or Dyspepsia .to a common head ache, ail of
which are the result ot a diseased Liver.
The Liver isoneof the principal regulators of the human
body and when n perlorms its m ctious well, the powers of
the system are lufiv developed. The stomach is almost en
tirely dependent on ‘the healthy action of the Liver tor the
nr .ner performance o’ its lunctious. It hen the stomach, is at
fault the bowels are at fault, and the whole system suffers in
consequenceotone organ—the Liver—having ceased 10 do
itsdutv. For ihe diseased that organ, one 01 the ■ roprietors
has made ithis study, in a. practice of more than 20 years, to
find some remedy wherewith to count,eracl the many derange
ment s to which it is liable.
To prove that this remedy is at last fount, any person trou
bled with tivercomploint in any of its forms, l.as but to try a
bottle and conviction is certain. . ,
A compound has been termed by dissolving gams and ex
tracting that par* which is soluble for the active virtues ol
the medicine. These gums remeve all morbid or bad matter
from the system, supplying u their place a hea-tny flow of
bde, invigorating the stoinaci, causing food to digest well,
purifying the blood, giving tone and fchealth to the whole ma
chinery, removing the causes of the disease, and effecting
a radical cure without any of the disagreeable alter effects,
felt r>y usin’ Calomel or Mineral Poison* that are usually re
sorted to.
To all who will follow these directions a cure is positively
can be cured by the use ofl or 2 tea-spoons
fu’ taken as soon as the attack is felt.
The Invigorator never fails to cure sour stomach, or the bad
effects experienced after eating. ~i Dbrnnirni
Biilious attacks yield readily to one bottle, and bhronic Di
arrhoea, difficult as it is to cure,is never troublesome to
who take the Invigorator. . _ nr . a
Per Dyspepsia, Jaundice, nothing in the known
so fully or cures so quickly as the Invigorator. 11 removes
all yellowness and unnatural color from the skin.
For Nightmare, take a dose before retiring, and it is war.
ranted a sure prevt utalive. r . mp(lv . it
For Female Obstructions, it is a safe and sure remedy as it
removes the cause ol the’disease.
(Jostiveuess cannot exist where the Invigoratoi rlslree y
ken while cholic yields readily to a few doses.
It must be known thatall these are Liver Diseases,or caus
ed by a deranged Liver, and to cure them needs a biver mea
icine and one of great power. The Invigorator is such,a med
icine; it has me iical powers never before discovered, tnai
will cure all diseases, of the Liver, no matter of how long
standing or what* may be their form. The active medicinal
virtues extracted rorn the gums used Is such as to be aston
is’iing to all who see their effects,‘ tor none can use the medi
cine without receiving benefit. It acts as a gentle cathartic,
aixi should always be taken insufficient quantities to oper
ateon the bowels gently. The best. way to take it is to take
the medicine in the mouth, then take* me water and swal
low both together. In this way the medicine will scarcely
be lasted.

Liberty of the People.
It is evident that, if we go on. a few years more
as we have progressed within the last quarter of a
century, we shall have to call a national conven
tion to pass resolutions condemning our revolu
tionary fathers as no better than hypocrites and ty
rants. It is true, they made some trifling sacri
fices to get out of the hands of Great B-itain;
they even spilled a little blood here and there,
“just to gratify their pride but, if we judge them
by the flood of light by which our republican
friends are illuminated in these times, their hide
ousness is all exposed, and they stand before us
the authors of a sysiem of government in which
liberty is veiled, and tyranny and oppression ex
ercise an unrestricted sway. One of two things is
certainly true: either that our modern political
philosophers have confounded liberty with licen
tiousness, freedom with tolly and madness, or, on
the other hand, our patriot fathers were not quite
what they ought to have been. Their Declaration
of Independence was a capital assignment of er
rors, arid an eloquent appeal to the people of the
States and the world in behalf of the new confed
eration ; but, illuminated as we are in this favored
age, as a pronuncianiienlo in favor of freedom it
sinks into mere vpor compared with what is ut
tered every day by such immaculate puritans as
our friends Greeley, Gen. YVebb, and Wm. Lloyd
Garrison. These gentlemen understand liberty to
mean that every man shall do precisely as he pleas
es. Government, w ith them, is a kind of stock
company, in which all are directors, each one own
ing his interest quite independent of his associates.
Under this interpretation of our State and federal
systems tt is easy to see that a refusal to vote at
elections impairs no individual rights, and secures
no privileges to those who dp vote. Should the
majority thus refusejjthe^conclusion is quite una
admittedlaw in American politics that the majority
must rule. It is true our constitutions an I laws
contemplate the recognilion only of those who
vote; but then they were made before the New
Jerusalem flooded us with its lights. Kansas is
the only community that has received ihe fuil bene
fits of this latter-day dispensation. There, neglect
of all political dmies, protests against the exis
tence on any terms of the federal authorities, re
bellion and revolution, are the signs which mark its
advance and proclaim its fruits. It asks that Con
gress shall be subjugated; that the people of the
Union shall surrender to its haughty demands;
that those who did their duty shall be ignored and
disgraced, and that those who refused to do their
duty shall be elevated over them to be theii rulers.
We are the disciples of every vital, rational re
form. We believe ours is an age of irrepressible
progress—that every day gives up some new ele
ment which a wise people may devoie to benefi
cial uses. But we adhere to ihe old maxim of
our politics—that those who would have a good
government must help make it. Political affabs
with us are conducted upon the principle of com
pensations. Our opinions to be respected must be
expressed in public as in private affairs.
Calico Dress Balls. —The New York Express [
has the following sensible remarks upon what the
Herald is endeavoring to make one of the institu
tions of the ‘-Metropolis
Next to the sawing of wood in the street by “gen
tlemen,” or the wheehng of barrels of apples by
fussy individuals, who are always turning them
selves up in all kinds of popular musses, the most
intensely snobbish and vulgar affairs in existence
must be the “calico dress balls” in New York, at
which ladies actually condescend to wear dresses
of a maieriai such as would become them lor daily
wear, no matter how rich they are, for the benefit
of the poor.”
For the benefit of those not familiar with this
form of upstart folly, we would state that the fair
owners of the calico dresses generally contrive to
make extremely ornamental affairs of them, not
wishing to discount from their charms, and that
they are generally about as unfit fir transfer to
the poor as anything could well be. While faY
from favoring extravagance, we believe that we
are right in denouncing such mock condescension
as the flattest snobbery. Like the sawing of wood,
it is an affectation of descending from a position—
a stooping to leap up—a matter wtiich in a repub
lican country like this, where no rank is recog
nized, is insulting to the real wearers of calico, and

A Tournament in Florida. —A tournament
came off at Talluhasse, Fla., on the 20ih which is

Fireside Reverie.
We defy any one to read the following and -e
sist the conclusion that the writer had a good wife
a id—desevred one.
It has been a wet, slosliy day, and yo . are glad
to get home at night and pull off your boots and
put on your slippers. Y’ou do so—and you feel
better, and you pull your arm-chair up before the
blazing anthracite, and 101 l back in your easy chair
—and look in the fire. Os course you have your
cigar—and you light it, prepared for a comfortable
smoke. To be sure, there is an oddity, a queer
ness about the room, that strikes you at first as pe
culiar. Os cour-e the reason s obvious—you guess
it in a minute—your wife is away.
To be sure she is. How else would you dare to
smoke in the sitting-room where she has so often
forbidden it? The basement, you know, she has
often told you, was appropriate to the cigar, and
that room alone.
But she is gone—and accordingly you assert the
prerogative of your sex, and smoke where you like
And you felt a sort of ni inly independence—of
bachelor freedom—as you put your legs in danger
ous proximity to the china ornaments on the man
tle-piece. And for a while you actually enjoy your
solitude.
But the fire gets low. You poke it and you put
the coals on. But you never could poke a fire like
Sue—and you never could make it burn half so
brightly. You don’t like tojacknowledge it, but you
know in your heart of hearts that it’s the truth of
the matter
And that shirt button ! Was there ever anything
so provoking? of course. Y’ou know it—you are
weil aware that Sue would be sure to go away
just when your linen was out of repair.
That cook, too A good woman enough, you
are willing to allow, for pies and cakes, and roasting
beef, hut tiie warming cup of coffee, the tempting
cup of tea-shejean’t make them youjpersist and what
is more, she never could. Ami your wife did cer
tainly please you—yes, she could make an excellent
cup of tea or coffee, you are willing to confess i hat.
You are willing to give Sue a little credit in that
respect. 0
The fire, is getting lower and lower—and yon are
fast getting chilly. And what is that peculiar feel
ing that steals upon you ?
You don’t like to confess it, but come—out with
it, man ; confess that—you miss your wife.
Now don’t attempt to deny it—don’t say pshaw !
don’t curl your lip, and don’t say that you think
you’d have been just as happy single.
You know you wouldn’t.
You do—you do miss your wife. You can’t tell
why you miss her, but you do. It must be the
nameless, unspeakable spell of her presence, the
charm of her purity ; the quiet, gentle manner that
charmed you in Ihe golden days when you went
Courting.
All! those days, you murmur—and your mind
reverts to that little village where you wooed and
won your bride. And why do you sigh ? You are
happier now—you know you are—for Sue, though
a dear sweetheart, is a dearer wife. You only saw
her a few hours a day then—and now yon see her
the whole twenty-four. And you are happy in
every respect—and if you haven’t any children yet,
why, man alive, trust to the future !
Ah ! the fire lias gone out—but you don’t want
to go lo bed yet; and why? Because you don’t
want to go to bed alone; that’s the honest truth of
it. Y’ou do miss your wife—will you own it?
That’s right; you’ve owned up like a man.—
you acknowledge that you do miss tier.
And why do you let her go away ? She wanted
to visit her relations. Os course she did. And
why didn’t you go with her ? You had business.
Bah !
Could you not have postponed your business?
Not conveniently. Nonsense—you know you could
you would have lost a couple of hundred dollars
you say ? VVtiat if you had? Would not the
a couple of hundred dollars—aye—tivi .ea couple
of hundred dollars?
Would you not have felt a satisfaction—a con
tentment, you do not now enjoy ? Would yon have
missed tie loss of that couple of hundred dollars
Would von not have had its full value—aye, and
with compound interest—in the society of your
wife ?
What is it you say, man ? Were you heard j
rightly ? Say it once more. Now—say it like a
good fellow.
Y’ou won’t let Iter go again.
Bravo! That’s manly—that’s noble—Do you
mean it ? No need ask that; you show it in your
eye—your word is pledged to yours—see that you
keep it sacred—that you won’t let her go away
again.
And you think of the many hatsh words and
pettish looks that you have given her. and—nav,
man, never dash that tear, away I Let it fall ;it will
do you good. You didn’t know how much, at the
time, your darling bore from you—but now you
f ee | it—and your conscience reproaches you. So
it should. You mentally resolve—you won’t do it
again. There’s another promise. See that you
keep it.
And her little whims her little peculiarities, how
have you indulged them ? Not much—and you
know it. You sh- uld bear wilh her, and you know
it, and you make still a third promise to yourself
that in future you will do it.
The fire is out. Y’ou go to bed—to dream of
your wife—and ere you sleep you bless her?
And as you do so, Heaven blesses you.— South
Carolinian.
There is but one true, invulnerable aristocracy,
and that has its foundation in good manners and
sound morals, coupled with intelligence. Indeed,
where manners and morals are right, the intelli
gence is never wanting. The best conditions of
birth and wealth are fortuitous—depending for their
continuance upon chance ; but good manners and
sound morals can be swept away by no accident
or misfortune, being self sustaining and imperisha
ble. Abundant and almost perpetual instances
prove that the best and noblest of men may spring
from the lowest temporal ranks, and that riches,
and titles and honors, may be acquired by tnen of
obscurest origin. What is it, then, that can and
may properly distinguish men in our regard, and
lift “one above another on the principles of aristoc
racy ? Why, simply this superiority in manners
and morals.” Just so far as men excel in this di
rection, they are better and nobler than their fellows.
They are an aristocracy—refusing, in ‘he very na
ture of things, to mix or assimilate with inferior
conditions—just as oil refuses to mix with water.
The very highest enlightenment is marked by these
signs, arid while no ill-mannered, bad-moralled per
son can be a gentleman, the real foremost gentle
man in ad the world is he whose manners and mor
als are best. These are the base arch and capstone
of the highest order of men.
Taking our position as granted, we sadly fear for
our country’s future. To the observing there is
no other feature in our national character so mark
ed as our tendency to trifle with and trample on
manners and morals. This is particularly true of
the younger classes—of our children and youth.
Reverence and modesty have little to do with them.
They are far enough from the example of their
fathers, and are growing worse day by day. It is
a novelty now-a days to see a girl or boy make
obeisan re to age,or in any way treat it with a mar
ed respect. Not so were their fathers and mothers
taught—not so did they behave. The ill-manners
of the young are becoming a reproach to the age
in which we live —they are a blot, a shame. If
the schoolmaster is abroad, he has sadly neglected
to teach his pupils what is of the utmost conse
quence to them and to society—good manners and
morals. Better school them more in these, even at
the sacrifice of algebra and logic. Here alone is
where our age is tailing off and backward, and in
no direction could a fall be more fatal. Let us
see to it that we do not plunge down beyond re
covery.— Exchange.

The Earthquake in Naples—Horrible Scenes and In
cidents
Our foreign files furnish many additional partic
ulars of the iate terrible earthquake in Naples. As
stated yesterdav, 3655 bodies had been dug from
the ruins at the last accounts, and the number of
lives lost were estimated at from 13, to 15,000. A
letter dated Naples, Jan., 2d, says :
The official journal of Wednesday night enu
merates sixty one places which had suffered in
their buildings, and many in their population.—
Under the name of each place is given a descrip
tion of the disaster, and this lust report alone gives
the number of several—say four or five ihousand
additional known to have suffered. Then are de
scribed the other casualties, people maimed, crush
ed. others drawn oul alive after a fearful sepulture
of eight days, reminding us of how many more
might have been saved had proper exertions been
made. The last accounts, too, awaken considera
ble apprehensions of a disaster. The whole dis
trict of Sala is agitated by continual movements of
the earth, stronger by night than by day, and these
are preceded by fearful detonations. Moreover,
about 9 o’clock v. M. of the 28th ultimo, and 6 and
7L p. m. of the 29th ultimo, three strong shocks,
lasting ten to twelve seconds, were felt followed by
others less intense.
e In Pontenza, too, on the evening of the 29th about
o a quarter to 7 o’clock, a strong nndulatory shock
a was felt, and other light ones during the night.—
f No injury was done, but the population all rushed
out into some open space. Here in Naples it is
? said that since the 16th ult., we have had, up to
“ Christmas eve, forty-nine shocks, and it may read
f ily be believed. Almost every one finds some tra
ces of them in his house ; the shocks, tuo, which
t were felt at Pontenza, on the evening of the 29th,
f were felt in Naples, and in some cases, created
’ great alarm. However, every one looks to Vesu
t vius for safety, and on that night it was in violent
• movement. People who reside at Resina tell me
1 that during the whole night the shocks Isom the
mountain were of a most violent and continuous
I character. Every three minutes it appeared as if
desperate men were trying to wrench open the
1 doors and windows. Nothing however, took
place.
I have also reports to give you from private per
sons who have visited the scene of ruin. They
describe the country in many places as crossed
with fissures which at first had been very wide,
but now had much closed. During the whole
time of their visit the ground was heaving beneath
them. There was universal panic and grief—and
no light part of it arose from the fact tliai there
was no one to search beneath the mins or to bury
their dead. I speak of the 21sl and the 22d ult.—
that is to say, of six days alter the disaster. Letters
from Brienza, of the 31st ult., says that no relief
had been as yet received. My informants, in wan
dering through Polla, could get no food, and even
bread was wanting in many places. Those who
were dug out alive—some after six or eight days
of living burial —awoke to famine and death, ‘i he
details which I receive are more hoirible than can
be easily conceived.
Since writing the above other and more afflict
ing details have arrived of the desolation occasion
ed by the earthquake. Laurenzana, Tito, Brienza,
Marsicanuovo, have almosi entirely disappeared.—
The king himself says that upwards of 15,000 have
perished, and, from what I have heard, says my
very sensible informant, the real number must be
nearly double. People who have come from the
spot report that the groans of the sufferers were
heard from beneath the ruins several days after
the disaster, and that horrible to relate, on some
bodies being taken out, it was found that they had
devoured a portion of iheir arms. There were none
to aid them, none to excavate the dying, none to
bury the dead, none to give bread to the famish
ing.
Thousands of soldiers are maintained at the ex
could not be sent to save thousands from perish- ,
ing. Many steamers were lying in harbor, the ex
pensive toys of the sovereign ; but, with one or
two tardy exceptions they have remained snug in
port. People cuunot refrain from comparing the
tardiness displayed on the present melancholy oc
casion. with the promptitude displayed in the month
of June last, when rebels landed in Sepri It must J
j have been laie on the night of the 27th, perhaps
not before the morning of the 28th, when the intel
ligence arrived at Gaeta, yet two steam frigates
were immediately dispathed with troops, and at
half past 9 A. M., of the morning of the 29th, the
Cagliari was captured.
The -Statue of Wa-hington at B ctimond.
The equestrian statue of Wasihtngton was yes
terday unveiled, and at once presneted to the eyes
of the ns-emblage present, perhaps the grandest
work of the kind in the world! The criticisms
suggested by the outlines of the figure when sewed
up, at once banished like mist before the sun, and
one and all united in the sentiment that there could
not be a grander conception, or one more beauti
fully and completely executed. It is a great tri
umph of art, and every beholder deplored that un
timely ileath of the great genius who conceived it,
by which he was denied the joy of witnessing the
elevation of the statue, and hearing the exultant
praises of the multitude.
We were interesttd in the comments otthesptc
tators, which were remarkable for variety, and
many of them originality. One gentleman said in
looking at it he beheid the greatest man who had
ever lived, upon the fiercest horse he had ever seen,
and that horse was “Red Eye.” The horse is in
deed a fine portrait of the celebrated “Red Eye,”
though the artist, we suppose, never saw that most
perfect specimen of horse kind we believe that lives.
The delegate from Chariotte, Col. Wyatt Card
well, who has been a breeder of horses, and has
pretty much lived amongst them—who is conside
red one of the best of judges of that noblest of ani
mals next to man, and who John Randolph once
said ‘Knew wha*’s what as well as any other man”
—gave his opinion of the horse in the most posi
tive and unqualified manner; and that was, that he
was perfect and unexceptionable—as nobly a foi med
animal as could be imagined. Such was the uni
versal scniiment. The apprehensions of some,
and the crihsims of others, before the canvass was
removed, and this unanimity of sentiment after
wards, proves the truth of the. old adage, that‘You
can’t tell the color of a stallion ot March court until
the kiver is off.”
The main point however, if the form and featu
res of Washington. And they are all that could
be desired The statue is just to the man, and no
highr praise can be bestowed on it. The face is a
copy of the face of Houdoo’s statue, rendered more
youthful. At one point of view it bears some re
semblance to the Patr ck Henry of Crawford ; but it
is only at that point. When seen properly the true
likeness to the best portrait ever made of the origi
nal, is apparent. The figure of Washington is
singularly grand in its calm and dignified, yet firm
expression. Tfie contrast between this expression
of the rider and the fiery impatience of the steed
is an admirable peculiarity of the design.
As Virginians, as Americans, wp are proud of
this great work of genius—th's master specimen
of the sculptor’s art. We have not time nor lan
guage to express our admiration for it. It will be
come celebrated all over the world, and men will
make pilgrimages to this city to behold it—at once
to do homage to the memory of the greatest and
best of men, and to offer a tribute to one of ihe
noblest acchievements of genius. —Richmond Dis

It is thought to be worth relating in the pa
pers that in the absence of the men, a lady in Ver
mont undertook to expel a hog from the garden,
and soon drove him into a corner, when piggy
turned upon his pursuer, and making a full tilt,
struck her between her pedal extremities, and
would have passpd safely through, had his nose
not caught in the folds of her hooped skirts. As it
was. he took her safely on his back, and then com
menced a series of circuits about the garden that
rivalled the best feat of a circus ring. At length,
a loop gave way, the lady turned a somerset, while
his pigship made rapid tracks in search of the hole
through which he had entered the forbidden en
closure.
F. H. COLQUITT, Editor.
Debate in (lie House ol JtepreseniaUves.
The question being upon a resolution to refer the Mes
sage of the President toa select committee oi thirteen.
Mr. Hughes of Indiana said : He recognised no
liberty in this country except that obtained legally,
and protested against the fanaticism which in Ihe
name of freedom incites to anarchy and turbulent
and corrupt practices. The people of Indiana had
had enough of that fanaticism within their own bor
ders, and would do well to settle their own account
before undertaking to supervise the affairs ot the
people ot Kansas. The State Government ot In
diana Lad been carried on in vio ation of all law,
except mo.i law. The Republicans had been guil
ty of frauds unsurpassed bv any thing m Kansas,
while at the same tune they were howling about
border ruffianism in Kansas. He predicted that
the time was corning when no Kansas clamor
would save those “apostles of freedom” from the
indignation of ah outraged people.
Passing from this he proceeded to the question.
What was the true construction of the Kansas Ne 4
braska bill, particularly in regard to the manner in
which the people of Kansas should ratify their Con
stitution ? He agreed with the interpretation of the
resolution that the people had a right to delegate
the power of framing their constiiution, and differ
ed from the construction placed upon it by the dis
tinguished Senator who framed the bill. That gen
tleman, as weil as others who had supported the
great doctrine of the bill, had, however, a light to
except to the construction ol ttie President, but he
denied ihe right of those who had always reviled
those doctrines to go before the country now as
the champions of “popular sovereignty.” March
ing in solid column alter this new light of popular
sovereignty was the old party of freedom, under
their flag of sixteen stars, a company made up of
renegade Democrats, siaikabolitionists,and strong
minded women. He was responsible lor his course
to no such party, but only to his constituents.
He maintained, as malteis of law and history,
(for he Would place no new cons'ruction upon the
Kansas Nebraska bill after it had been approved by
the people.) that the sectiou in thai bill repealing
the Missouri Compromise, and defining the Legis
lative power ol the Territory, never had been un
derstood to refer to anything but slavery. The tb
ject of the bill was simply aud solely to place the
Territories of Kansas auu Nebraska upon the
same ground as that occupied by the old States,
as to tiie formation of their constitutions. He read
from the or-ginai draft of the Nebraska bill to show
that the question of slavery alone was intended to
be submitted in the first place. To carry out the
construction that all subjects were to be submitted
to popular franchise would be to overthrow the
principle of representation and prevent the enact
ment of any laws except by conventions of the peo •
pie en masse. He coniended that sovereignly
could be delegated by the people, as had been done
in Kansas, and opposed the views advanced in the
late speeches ol Senator Douglas. His own views,
be said, were expressed in the President’s message
much better than he could state them himself. He
•hen argued that the Lecompton Convention was
legally called and organized, and fairly represented
the will of the people of Kansas.
Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, said he was prepared to
show by the laws ol Kansas that the statement
upon which gentlemen relied to impugn the verac
ity of Gov. YValker m relation to the disfranchising
of certain counties was w holly incorrect. He ask
ed only two minutes to point out twelve errors in
the space of eleven lines.
Mr. Hughes said he would permit the gentleman
to do so if he would first answer whether or not he
would acquiesce in good faith in carrying out the
decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Dred
Scot', that the Constitution of the United States
carries slavery into Kansas.
Mr. Snerman declined to answer a question which
was not pertinent.
Mr. Hughes went onto accuse the free State men
with tan.-ntctsrn. ’ me A-nuie
party was aiding and abetting the rebellion in Kan
sas. He attacked the statements of Gov. Walker,
who he said had suddenly become a greet and shin
ing light in the Republican ranks, and pointed out
the inconsistency ol the Republicans in clamoring
for popular sovereignty when they had heretofore
all along repudiated and scouted the doctrine.
A New Fact in Accoustics. —A curious paper
has just been communicated io the French Acad
emy of Sciences by M. Johart touching a sound
exacily corresponding to the note la [the note A in
the English noiation,] whieh is heard by some
persons in shaking their heads rather smartly from
riiilrt to left. Mr. Cagnaird de Latour had been
the first to remark this fact, and although he was
known to be an exact observer, the announcement
was received at the time with incredulity, because
the experiment was generally under unfavorable
circumstances, being interrupted by other slight
sounds, such as the rustling of a’ cravat, &.c. M.
Johart has investigated the subject physiologically,
and has ascertained that the sound is caused by
the striking of ihe malleus upon the incus in the
interior of the ear. It is well known that the man
ubrium of ‘he malleus is attached to the centre of
tympanum, and that it is kept in equtiibiium by
thin elastic fibres. Nowin shaking the head the
malleus may easily touch the bone of the incus,
producing a slight metallic sound, which all those
who have heard it acknowledge to agree with the
note la in music. Those, Mr. Johart says, that
hear the same note in both ears are endowed with
a perfect sense of hearing; they are musicians born.
Those who hear the note in one ear only possess
the sense in an imperfect degree, just as those who
have one eye weaker than the other mistake one
color for another. Those whose ears emit and ffrr
ent notes not in unison, are not only bad musi
cians, but they bate the art. From thi- fact M.
Jobart deduces a curious consequence, w hich if ve
rified by experience, may be exnemely useful in
selecting a profession lor a child—viz: that the
capacity for music may.be attested at an early age
by ascertaining whether the subject bears the note
eqtia.ly in both ears or not.
A Gallant Ritraction. —The localizer of the
Washington States says:
Some weeks ago, I mentioned in my idle way,
thatthereporters thought of requesting Mr. Speaker
Otr to grant a seat in the new House gallery to
Miss Windle, whose graphic sketches of “Life in
Washington” have been so widely copied Iront the
paper which she at times favors with her corres
pondence. Scissors (that editor-ofall-work) poun
ced upon the paragraph, and it ha:3 been hashed
and rehashed, until it has now taken the shape of
an assertion (hat the lady actually applied for a seat
in the reporter’s gallery. This must be annoying
to herseli and to tier many friends, so I beg my ed
itorial brethren to make the amende honorable, and
retract any such assertion that they may have un
wittingly copied. As for myself, mea culpa!
