TBAVIB, THE BPOETING WILLIAM-TELL SHOOT ING OBANGEB FBOM A BOY’S HEAD. Wp have already .alluded to-the thousand dollar wngcr made by John Travis, that lie will shoot three oranges from the head and hands of a boy—distance, thirty feet—weap on, a pistol. When we reflect that the tre mor or movement of a muscle may be suffi cient to cause a premature discharge, and that the deviation of the fraction of an inch to the precise aim might terminate fatally to the lad, the feat appears as wonderful as it is certainly novel. Travis formerly resided in Saratoga. The feat comes off in Louisville in Juno. The oranges are each to be 2) inches in diameter—ond'is placed on the top of the head, and one on each hand the arms being extended. In this position, at the dis tance of ten paces, of three feet, facing the shooter, and with no intervening object, Cap tain John Travis proposes to hit the orange and has only three shots to hit the three oran ges. The boy who is to support the oranges is ten years of age and is a bright and spright ly lad. He has every confidence in the abil ity of Capt. Travis to hit each object, and has equally as much in his own nerve, which cannnot be surpassed. He is how under dqi iy training. The boy’s feet-are placed twelve inches apart, and lii§ hands upon his hips.— The Captain shoots between the angle made by the bending of the arms and between the feet. This is done to accustom the boy to the firing, and, if possible to give him more confidence and mnke him feel at ease. The little fellow is a native of Louisiana, and his mother is always present during the practic ing. She is entirely satisfied that it will re sult in safety to her son. This is probably the most dangerous feat.ever undertaken by any man in this country.

ALT NOT A NECESSARY OF XITB. In an article Copied into Gfie ClinHeston Medical Journal ands Rertett, for Marcfi, 1858, and credited to the Allge. Med. Cent. Zeitung, from tbe American Medical Ga zette, it is stated, that although salt perforins an important office in sanquification (or the conversion of cliyle into blood, and really the production of blood itself,) and is regard ed by phisiologists as an indispensable article in our dietary preparations—a commodity supposed by many to be in use among tbe inhabitants of all countries—yet it is now claimed in the article before us that the in habitants of Mauritius, an island in the Indi an ocean, entirely obstain from the use of salt. The Patagonian inhabitants of the vast prairies in the extreme southern portion of tins continent are also classified among the non consumers of salt. The Mauritians and Patagouians have every facility for ob taining salt in abundance, and iu the absence of positive evidences to tbe contrary, it is fair to infor fliat they make use ol the salient condiment. The same article further states : “ I have,” says M. Gatton, “ recently learn ed of another tribe who-never eat Salt. It is the Damaras of tropioal South Africa. In their country there is no salt. In Europe it is universally believed that salt is iiidispeusi blo to life, hut M. Gatton, in the country of Damaras, saw this proven to be a fallacy.— He made a journey with eleven other men, on horseback, of six weoks’ duration, with only a pill box full of salt. The whole of them used no more than this. They eat nothing hut flesh and drank coffee alone.— there can.bc no doubt that people who live on flesh and milk need much less salt tlmn those whose-sole nourishment is derived from the vegetable kingdom. Tbe half of the people of Darnara eat nothing but piggnuts, the most meagre and indigestible of nourish ment, and which must be taken in very large quantities to afford subsistence enough. The Hottentots of Wallfish Bay, who live almost, entirely on squashes, with the sea on one aide and salt springs on the other, take no pains to collect salt for use, which they cer tainly would do if they experienced the same need of it as tbo Europeans, Wild animals in Swakop, according to Gatton, do not fre quent salt licks like they do in America, lie visited these places, and although the tracks of wild anim ijs were abundant, they were a month old, and indicated that they were pass ing without coming, near enough the salt rocks to lick then’. He mentions tribes also th it not only eat their food without salt, but actually loathe it.” “ It may he possible that there is no salt, or such as is known to commerce as salt, in the s lutbern Africa referred to oy 31. Gatton, but it does not follow that there are no salt springs or vegetable productions in that re gion in which salt or chloride of sodium foay lie found. The opinion so long entertained by phisiologists will not he severely shaken by the revelations of M. Gatton. It is probable that climate, altitude, pecu liar religions views, or other causes, may pro duce a restricted use of salt, with persons in some localities of the earth ; but that the to tal disuse of it, or of any commodity in which the saline ingredient abounds, exists among any of the inhabitants of the earth, we very much question. ’ V THE TABANTULA AND ITS DEADLY PERSECUTOR Some of our readers may have heard of the tenacity with which the venomous taran tula is pursued by an inveterate enemy in the form of a huge wasp—invariably result ing in the defeat and death of the former. We were an eye witness to one of these con flicts last week, while on a ramble nmon’ the adjacent bills. This is the season when the poisonous tarantula leaves his well fash ioned abode to perambulate the dusty roads and smooth paths so often trod by the indus trious miners, and about their haunts a dozen or so bo seen any day of this hideous eulargemeht of the spider race, within a cir cuit of a few s yards, leisurely wending their way along the roads and by-ways. Often have we marked, with attentive curiosity, his awkward gait while lifting his long unwieldy legs above the short blades of grass, and won dered for what uses and purposes this ugly little tnonstcr was placed upon this beautiful globe. While attentively watching the motions of one of these insects during our wnlk, wc were much surprised to see the object of our at traction suddenly stop short in his wander ings, and raise itself up to its full height, hr though watching the coining of some unwel come visitor. We at first supposed that it just espied ns, and was expecting danger from our hands; but upon our retreating a Jiy steps he quickly crouched behind a tuft of dried grass, and remaining very quiet, setmed to make himself- as small ns possible. A slight buzzing was heard in the air, and in a moment a wasp passed quickly near, hover ing on the wing over his trembling victim, the much dreaded tarantula. Like some bird of prey, the wasp remained thus poised'a moment, and then, quick as thought, darted down upon his enemy, and stung him many times with great rapidity. The tarantulA, smarting under the pain, began to retreat with all the speed of which he was capable, .but wasp bung over him with revengeful tenacity, and again and again struck him with his venomous sting. Gradually tbe flight of the tarantula became slower and more irregular, and at length, un der the repeated thrusts of his conqueror, lie died biting the grass with bis terrible fangs. The wasp now seized his enemy, ana com menced dragging him away, with what in tent, we could busiues called us thence, at that time discover. ... * The wasp whose attacks upon the tarantu la are so fatal, has a long, slim, glossy, black body, yellow wings, and is arined with a ve ry sharp, long, thorn like sting, which may be seep protruding as it flies. It fears not the presence of niAn or beast when in pnrsnit of his enemy.— Mariposa (Cal.) Democrat. IJoHtrntl. SENATOR TOOMBS’ REPLY TO MX. CXITTIMDSa. The speech of this gentleman, in point of ability and oratory, will compare favorably with any other delivered during ilie Kansas debate-; and coming immediately after tire defection of Mr. Crittedden, will have a moat favorable effect in averting the •* American” stampede which was apprehended, and ral lying again to the soppoit of tho Adminis tration, upon this most important question, all who firmly intend to staunch the bleed ing issues which distract the country. The speech of. tiro Senator from Georgia Commences witii assenting to tlio assertion of Mr. Crittenden that this was not a section al issue. It was a,grave constitutional ques tion. It was to determine whether this gov ernment should continue to be what its foun ders desigued, or whether it shall be pervert ed liito an agency to establish the suprema cy of the non-slavebolding States. This contoatkivolves the duration of the Union. He had Calculated the value of tbat com pact, and, |f ever the proper time should ar rive, was prepared to announce the estimate he placed upon it. He never doubted that the North derived more advantage from tbo Union than tlitr South. The South neither asks nor received protection to any interest at the hands of the government. For him self, he had stood for eight years', in the low er house, tlie representative of a district, and no constituent during that period had asked for an office from tho Federal Government or protection from his-industry. This con troversy originated in the efforts of the Fed eral party to recover power when driven from it under the elder Adams. Rtifus King had made opposition to the admission of a State because it was n slave State, and tbe opposi tion had continued ever since. It was a con test on one side for victory and conquest,and for freedom and cjistene on the other. must refer our readers to the able and con clusive proof from the record, furnished by Senator Toomb'S, that the Lecomiiton Con stitution is morally and legitimately the fruit of the principles of equality and justice An nounced and enforced by Congress in good faith from the beginning cf thin controversy. We do not propose to offer even a synopsis of the speech, but to employ it is accidental ly directed to contradict and to counteract the theory of Mr. Crittenden, that the whole transactions in Kansas, except so fur as the Black Republicans have conducted its gov ernment, have been founded in tbe grossest frauds, perjuries, forgeries and violence. In the course of this exposition it was shown that the authorities upon which Mr. Crittenden relied, were chiefly tho declara tions of..the runaway Governors of Kansas, who had recognized the nuthoritj’ of tho Legislature as long as they remain in Kan sas, but it wlieu it no longer serv ed their purposes. Walker and Stanton had become cmiriei t authorities, and tbe Senator of Georgia expressed bis conviction that they had intended from the beginning to deceive and defeat tbe Administration ; but tbe one hnd been recalled and tbe other ba<Jj aban doned his post. They were now witnesses like other private men,and they were indebt ed to his courtesy that he admitted even so much. But their statements were not. “of ficial,” nor had the Senator from Kentucky cited any “ official” authority to contradict the record testimony adduced to support the legality of the Lecomptpn Constitution. Mr. Toombs paid a passing tribute to tbe Virginia resolutions of *9B, derided by many wbo had never rend them, but indispensable to the just administration of tbe Federal compact. His argument constitutes an irre fragable demonstration tbat Congress can on ly decide whether a State applying for ad mission is Republican iti its form of Govern ment; that Kansas lma complied with that condition, and is qualified, under a proper con struction of the Federal compact, for imme diate admission’into the Uuion under the Le compton Constitution. Mr. Toombs considered the repeal of tbe_ Missoni i restriction and its consequences.— Hottttributed the difference which separated him from the Senator from Kentucky to rad ical difference of principle. He did not re gard the Missouri condition as a compact.— Congress could not make such a compact, and did make it. Tbe North bad repu diated it—the South was never bound by it. It was dishonorable and oppressive, aud be rejoiced that it had been in his power to aid ill throwing it off. Its consequences to the South would have been ’ destructive ; she would,liave bi|cn excluded from occupying any more territory. Hamilton bad predicted the American peo ple would one day include Louisiana and Mexico, and “ squint at South America.’— The first teas history ; the secoml would be. The consequences to the South of the repeal of all anti-slavery restrictions were incalcu lable. Jn ffiis connection he complained that Mr. Crittenden had affirmed tbe constitutionality of the Missouri repeal, and claimed that Mr. Clay was the author of that measure,when Mr. Clay had himself proclaimed tbat be was not, and bad neither introduced, advocated, nor voted upon it.* ‘ He expressed Ida gratitude to those Nor thern men who had stood by the common rights of the South and the country. /I’bey were few in number, and their ranks were rapidly diminishing, as tbe waves of a Phar isaic fanaticism swept first one and then an other of this little bandJ'rom amongst them. But their fame would be immortal, and* their reward would be found in an approving con science. *ylio statesman at tbe bead of the Gov-” eminent, with the eminent chief of the Fed eral Judiciary, had nearly reached the lim its assigned to human capacity for active usefulness. The) bad filled the highest sta tions of human honor. They bad no motive to do wrong or to promote strife amongst their fellow citizens. They deserved and would receive tbe approbation of their coun try for the noble ana patriotic stand taken by them in behalf of the rights guaranteed by the Union. He regretted the position taken by tbe Senator from Kentucky, wbo had brought to the aid of the opponents of the Sonth sod Administration the weight of hi* name nnd character. The Senator from Kentucky differed.both with himself and the section to which they belonged. If the gallant and noble State which Mr. Crittenden represen ted, should be doomed by the act of her Sen ator to inequality and deprivation of her righto, it must add to her pain that the blow had bean in part inflicted by her ewn son— like— f! a “ Tbe struck eagfo stretched tpon the plain. No more through rolling cloud* to mu again, View’d lit* own feather on tbe ratal dart, And wing'd thshaft that quiver’d iu hi* heart: Keen were hi* pang*, but keener fin to /eel He nursed the pinion* that imerit'd the rtrel, While tbe same plumage (hat bad warm’d hi* amt Drank thelaat life-drop of bia bleeding breast.” SENATOR TOOMBS’ SPEECH AT THE BALTIMORE MASS MEETING. * Last week a grand mass meeting was held in Baltimore to give expression to the views of tha Democracy of tbat city on the Kansas question* The great speech on tlie occasion was delivered by Hon. Bobert Toombs, of this State. We find ill our exchanges the followiug brief synopsis of bis remarks. The question before Congress and which was exciting so much attention out sis doors, was not anew one. For forty years it has occupied much attention, aud for eleven years nearly all the attention, of the people of the United States. The principles the true men North and South, nnd elsewhere, have been contending for those forty years are tbe principles of tbe resolution* offered here to-night. The question now was wheth er the American Congress shall usurp the rights of the Territories, or tbe Territories sfiall maintain their own. 1, Ho /held that Kansas should be immediate ly admitted into the Union, as a matter of policy and of justice. Ho would take notice in what he intended to say of the objections to this course, and among the objections they would recognize the old enemies of the Democratic party under anew name. Tlie leopard could not change his skin, neither can the enemies of popular government shield themselves from the popular gaze.— Tho American Congress may admit new Slates in accordance with tlie Constitution— there is no difficulty about the power. New Slates were admitted into the Union from 1789 to 1820, with constitutions such as they saw proper to make. No man op posed or denied this power except in the North-West Territory; but in all tbe rest of the States brought in, till 1820, no public man or portion of the people claimed that Congress had the power to control the peo-’ pie in making a constitution in any way they wanted, but in such a way as they wanted. There is no clause in tlie constitution of the United Status requiring a State to make a constitution—if was only uecessary for them to make a republican form of government.— If they had no constitution it was their ewn business. Jefferson had said tlmt the old Federal party, despairing of retaining power by hon est means, sought to wriggle themselves into power by raising sectional issues, and that was the very beginning of this question.— From that old federal party, every Whig, Republican nnd Kuow Nothing is a finiat de scendant. Missouri applied next foradmissiou with a constitution recognizing slavery, and these Republicans and others said, you shall not come in. Not because you have not’ a republican government — uo ; but because it docs not suit tbe New England States. A great contest arose from one end of tlie coun try to the other. : ‘•. There was not a freesoilcr in Congress— and lie know them for thirteen years past— who cared not a dime for the black man; they have carried on this hypocrisy in order to defect tbe Democratic party. If he wan ted partners now hi tho african slave trade lie would just as soon go to these freesoilers as Aliy ono else; they even now have shares in such expeditions. They agreed to admit Missouri hy putting ifi a clause that there should be no more slave Btotes North of 36.30; but did any State in the Union agree to tbi* condition through their Legislature, or was any public meeting held to endorse it ? Not one. They have, resolved that there should be no more slave Slates, and Rufus King gave tlie reason when he said it was a question of political power. It was not the poor Africans. Neither party, North or South, was satisfied with the arrangement. The Democrats have asked them for the power they assumed, and the principle of their action, and they said they had none— they had the majority. Mr. Toombs then proceeded to give • his tory of the admission of ‘Texas, California, down to the Kansas question, tbe paaa age of tlie Kansas Nebraska bill and tlie in tention of that act. By repealing tbe Mis souri prohibition they only left the people the SAme right they always bad over slavery —to prohibit it or establish it.as tbe people of a Territojy saw proper. Tlie subsequent transactions in Kansas were next reviewed in the most graphic manner, as well aa the contest which bas resulted in congress. He (Mr. Toombs) bad introduced a bill in con gress so as to enable tbe people to rote fair ly ; it passed tlie Benate, went to (he House, where it received every Democratic vote and was opposed by every Republican. They did not pass the bill, but sent back to the Senate Topeka—nothing but Topeka. Subsequently, in electing delegates to the convention in Kansas, tbe Republicans stood off and would not vote; they were soma thing like the people when Noah was build ing tbe ark—they stood off and did not be lieve there would be a flood, but there was. They now tell ua in Kansas, if we don’t do as they want, they will take up arras—tease twenty-five hundred vagabonds in rebellion against the twenty five millions of the peo ple of these United States! Mr. Toombs concluded by saying tbat tbs punishment he intended to inflict upon these rebels was to give them a free constitution number, so; *"d admit them into the Union. They Jfc. sered auch miscreants m they am, W *fl raittnd into the Union, and sy Jw,* t w , nt to accept it! He intended to net rid efjthia J nest ion as aoon as pc,sbleu~to let them set • the matter in their own way. Should life •moka of tha inceadiary curl e*r*be top # every cabin in Kansas, he/venldmake than free and get rid of the question. OTmHMW 07 TBS PAUUMTOB waj|f| —THB UmtmOBABTSAH ADAH xK'mmt:-* A Telegraphic summary of the Canada's . newt bring, us the annonneeme* of t&l of the Palmerston Administration. The Wh Premier is the Earl of Derby, wlr tikk with him into office the small baad efeew rerratnre statesmen whose adherence to wry tradition, and unity Os aotied hara given them a sort of balance weight in parliament, i 11. ir elevation to power is of course meriily an accident which eool4 only hwve. bm4 caused by a peculiar combination of circunw atances. In itself the party has no moral or political weight, its only consideration being derived from ike talents of Hi leadeV. Tlio latter have been forced into offich oti tfie shoulders of the rsdacals, in q-W to ate* fuller effects to public opininn on the refugee question by the combination of extreme., and as soon as they have served the purposes ot the moment they, will be compelled to give place to men of more comprehensive aod progressive view*. ‘ A Nothing can indicate mor* unmistakably the unstable character of the relations 1m tween the English and french governments than this change. The recent defeat oftTO administration would not in itself have ne cessitated the resignation ot Lord Pshntfr ston and his colleagues if they had not beam sensible that the opinions of the British ns. tion were decidedly averse to tbe spirit W svbservieney which they had lately exbibT tedto the French autocrat. AbatmcTMfff proper as were the alterations proposed hi the existing laws in reference to, foreigners, there was sufficient in the manner m which they were extorted from the tears of Lord Palmerston’s government to Arouse tbe ‘eaf oosy and sensitiveness of the English people, and to induce them to view with tHatenigA ministry which was so ready to yield to the alarms inspired bv the military bravadoes es the Moniuur. The English have pride aa well aa material interests, their Monti naturally boils at the assumption of a tone which implies, if it does not actually eonvey, a threat. The overthrow of a minister cow tossed ly one of the most popular that Ims ev er held the reins of power m England,show’s how deep rooted and universal is tbe of resentment excited amongst them by such conduct, and how slight j a the dependence to be placed upon the cootiouanee of the ah h*ic between the twa countries. Tlio very defeat.of this ministry cannot, in fact, be res garded In any other light thau as a gauutlet thrown down to France, and as the com mencement of s series of com plications which will involve the whole of Europe hi trouble. The best barometer of public feeling by connection with political questions is to be f mod in the operations of tbe money market. It was only few days since that we had occasion to note tbe tact that notwitbstand ing the depressioe attending the lata panic, American stock* were again rising into fares abroad with a rapidity which nothing bat po litical influences cenH explain. We ex pressed our belief that these influences were due to the precarious state of tbe relations between England and France, and tbe tm viction that seemed to prevail that the refer gee question would prove the rock on which the create rot diale would split. The resig nation of the Palmerston ministry felly real izes tbe anticipations suggested by this eh cumstance, and we are now testified in look ing upon the alliance between thi two conav tries as virtually dissolved. ‘I hat public feeling in England should bav# precipitated a result which Louis Napoleon may have remotely contemplated, but aer- Uinly did not immediately desire, fa, we thmk creditable to the spank and manlineaf of the English peopio. In the universiA ex pression of indignation elicited by the lath xhominable attempt upon lin life, the French Emperor thought that be bed feend the means of extending bis system of terrorism to constitutional countries. It jp but right that he should be taogbt that what he mistakes tor a tribute to the merits of that system is bat the expression of a moral sentiment,which applies equally to the safety of the humblest citizen as to bis own.
