Sensational Science. A Startling Theory—Hydrogen and Source of Life—Also of All Matter—Cosmogony Simplified—Loves and Hates of Atom Souls—Dreaming Plants and Pietures on Dead Eyes. [From the New York Mercury.] Every newspaper reader is aware that Mr. Joseph Norman Lockycr, the celebrated English astronomer, has an¬ nounced the discovery that there is but otie form, of matter truly elementary. This primal element is introduced to us in the shape of hydrogen. reduced French chemists have recently hydro¬ gen from its gaseous form to a liquid condition ; and almost simultaneously the English scientist, by means of the spectroscope, arrives at the conclusion that “hydrogen can no longer be re¬ garded as a simple element.” He goes lurther. He declares his conviction that hydrogen is the one body of which ail the elements in the chemist’s cata¬ logue is composed. So romantic ail arid the startling an interpretation of phenomena of animate and inanimate nature—of all we can see or imagine in the azure star-depths the of our own planet—almost paralyzes imagina¬ tion. That the substance we have hitherto known as one of the sixty odd elements of great cosmical laboratory should be endowed with such PROTEAN CAPACITIES of form is a conception which utterly eclipses the wildest dreams of mytuolo gists or alohe threshold mists. While demonstrating Locyker is on the very of that there is but a single element, the great German scientist, Haeckel, boldly enunciates the theory that there exists in nature but a single lorce—the me¬ chanical. See, now, how cosmogony is simplified governed ? Molecular by the simple atoms mechanical of hydro¬ gen attraction and repulsion motions of ex¬ plain the universe. Henceloith there is no more difficulty in accounting for the phenomena of life than for the fal¬ ling of a stone to the earth. "Ail the natural bodies with which we are ac¬ quainted aie EQUALLY LIVING. Every atom of matter has a soul—-the atom-soul ” Query—“What (by is the ‘atom-soul ?’ ” Answer Prof. Lockyer)—“Hy¬ drogen.” “There is difficulty," no continues Haekel, “as regards the central soul, mind or spirit of man. All snuLlife or middle-life which you will, is ultimate¬ ly referable to the two simple func¬ tions of sensation and motion. The simple simple sensation of like and dislike, the motions attraction and repul¬ sion, make up all the complicated com¬ binations of the mental faculties.’ The love and hate of hydrogen ; the attrac¬ tion and repulsion of hydrogen mole¬ cules-the flirtation of hydrogen atom souls—these constitute creation and the glories thereof. The psycologieai prin¬ ciple is the same in plants as in aui maK t is long since plants were .iiu-fit napping. Recently it has been d'.-covered i hilt they dream. Mr. Prahofi Dc win, M. B., says: “I have been • mint, ouietv iu the hot-house nighf waiting to make an at h given Lour, when suddenly the leaf ol a f isitive plant fullest has been e seen to drop rise rapid*: y to old its position, extent Now and slowly tc the us plant is behaving in this action a ctiy as 1 ! it had been touched on Du its sensitive joint; thus some internal pro ees- } reduces the same impression on tile plant as a real external stimulus. ’ 0 the same >vay A DOG DREAMING BY THE FIEF. will yelp and move his legs as it he were h unting a real instead *” iu: inarv rabbit.” It u* proper to remark that the WoM dotin' v ui • at-ions i Locykor a u; LlffeOjod vita anticipated over thirty Vu ;i by tbe presSieuee of what, :or want oi" a better phrase, we are uccus tomed to term poetic inspiration. Ten- j nyson s “In memonam closes with these remarkable lines: One God, one law, element, And one far oft' divine event. To which the whole creation moves. Prof. Huxley has remarked that the “pathways of seience are strewn with the murdered myths of antiquity.” While this is uudeniable, it is equally true that science is iastumental in re suscitatiug many a previously rejected superstition. From comparatively an¬ cient times we derive the superstition that the last object visible to the dying eye is imperishably photographed readers upon the dead retina. Most will le call to mind tales of retributive justice based upon the identification and con¬ viction of a murderer througli the agency of his photograph IN A DEAD MAN’S EYE ; and within the last decade the plot of a play, not to mention half a dozen stnsation novels founded upon the same thesis, has been constructed to turn upon the terrible witness of such s rogue’s gallery. The fact has been authoritatively denied over an<3 over again by physiologists of established re¬ putation, sneered at as a relic of meta¬ physical speculation reinforee by mor¬ bid fancy, and finally committed to the limbo of utter impossibilities. Bat of it turns out that this grim conception poetic justics was founded on fact. A RESURRECTED MYTH. The much discussed question of spontaneous combustion, since Lo<k yer’s discovery of all-prevailing and ail prevading hydrogen, promises to be another. Since Lockyer’s discovery of the hydrogen will atom-soul, however, no one be likely to call in question the great fact of spontaneous combustion. Physiologists henceforth will cudgel their brains in a probably vain attempt to account for the very small percentage of cinerating calamities of the spotane ous kind. Tried ’Em AH. One of the editors of this paper has, for several days—three days we believe —been suffering with a severe sore throat. During different this period remedies he has on y tried eleven with the hope of effecting a cure, but at this writing he remains unimproved. At first, some one suggested a gargle of acetic acid and salt, and he gave it a test without any visible change. Then a friend told him that alum dissolved in the mouth was a guaranteed cure, but this also failed. A chlorate of potash gargle was prescribed by a physician, and that didn’t do any good; then bit¬ ters and potash with the same result, And then some motherly adviser told him a few whisky toddies would soon make him ferget he ever had a sore throat—he tried this too, with pleasure, but the disease stuck to him, and “no better” resulted again. Night before last he went to bed with a neck satu¬ rated with turpentine with a rag around it, and the morning found him the same sick editor. Four successive doses of laudanum, the four more of paregoric, and still no improvement. day, Yesterday, he ate potash straight all interspersed between times with draughts and of sage tea and alum gargle, closed the struggle by devouring a lemon—still no change! We are dis¬ heartened ourselves, and if we didn’t feel like we’d discourage our brother, we’d merely suggest that he have tne tonsils punctured with caustic, cut off, or, some other painless (?) operation performed. His case is getting serious. —GritJin News. Our brother should have simply put a wet towel around his neck aad several dry ones over it, and he would soon be all right. We do not cha v ge him anything for our prescription.— Ed., Recorder. Murder and Arson.

THREATENED VIOLENCE BY STRIKING MINERS. Cincinnati, February 4.—A dis¬ patch from Coshocton says ; “The strik¬ ing miners of the Union mines threaten violence to any one attempting to work the mines until their demands are ac¬ ceded to. Last night a number of the miners who had been down in the mines weie assaulted upon coming out, and would have been badly beaten but for the interference of the police. The town is full of drunken miners, and farther trouble is anticipated.” THE POTTER COMMITTEE. Washington, February 4. — The Potter sub-committee, consisting of Messrs. Hunton (Chairman), Springer, Stenger, Hiscock and Reed, will leave for New York this evening, and to¬ morrow will begin investigating the Florida and South Carolina dispatches. Christians anti Israelites. [St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Jan. 7.] The fire which destroyed the Second Baptist church long on Friday last was a misfortune to be remembered by both minister and people; but it has served to give yet another proof of the truth of the The saying that good cometh out of evil. minister and his cou gregation had scarcely realized their loss before they received messages of condolence, often accompanied by offers of material aid. Nor were they con fin ®d to the adherents of the special tenets and observances of the Baptist creed. Lutheran, Methodist and Epis copalian ministers and a Catholic priest were foremost in the good work of saving valuable books and papers from the flames, and the smoke of the ashes was hardly laid before another congre gation set another example of warm hearted and generous liberality. It was one not included in the Christian ranks, but composed of a people who, in all cases of distress, have been the first to answer to an appeal for aid. As soon as the President at d i Trustees of the Israelite Temple Share Emeth heard of the ioss, they held a meeting, and, with the full concurrence and support of their rabbi, offered the Baptists, who were thus left without a church, the free use of the Temple until they could rebuild their own house of worship.

How Frank Pierce’s Secretary of war Could’nt Take a Joke. [Jerome’s Letter to Indianapolis Journal.] "But there’s one thing about him,” said Mulford, “that I don’t believe has ever been published—a When Frank pratical Pierce joke, of course.” was President Jeff Davis, then Secretary of War, issued a general invitation to the officers of the army who were skillful draughtsmen to send in suggestions for the new uniform which it hau been de¬ cided to adopt. One such invitation was sent to each officer. Lieutenant Derby was very ready with his pen—a really ingeoi !1c artist. In reply he sent to the W>.r Depart¬ ment a design for a new uniform—or rather a peculiar addition to the old uniform—the amendment consisting merely of a ring attached to the seat of the trousers of each private soldier. Each officer was to carry, instead of a sword, a long pole, with a hook u the end like a shepherd’s crook. r i ■ *-• pole and the ring enabled officers to keep privates from running away in battle. Fugitives could be easily caught by it and brought back. Stragglers could be kept in line. Moreover t he ring would be very useful in the cavalry service to fasten soldiers to the Baddle to prevent them from falling off, and in the artillery service the rings were to be used for draught purposes in the absence of muels. These specifications were accompanied by the most grotesque pictures, back cowardly repre¬ senting officers hauling ring, caval¬ recruits by the serviceable ry securely fastened to the top of their steeds by the same device and artillery - men harnessed to cannon, drawing them through narrow defiles or up an acclivity inaccessible to mules by cables attached to the posterior staples. On another sheet of bristol board was an illustration in gaudy colors of Der¬ by's Rotary Mule Howitzer,” accompa¬ nied by the following description : “Upon the back of a young and vigilant mule strap a mouutain howitzer, the muzzle pointing towards the tail. A similar piece of ordnance is fastened with iron bands under the animal’s abd- men, the muzzle aimed between his forelegs to the front. There are four gunners—two to each piece—and a ‘persuader,’ as he is called, whose business it is to persuade the by mule to stand firm and not retreat stuffing him with oats after each discharge with a tin sausage stuffer. When Indians or other legitimate game appear in view, the mule is, by a crank move¬ ment on the tail, limbered to the It don’t make any difference which way the mule faces (and here is where my patent comes in) one gun is always pointing towards the front. At the command ‘Fire '’ the top howitzer is discharged. The recoil throws the mule on his back, bringing the second gun into position. This is discharged, which suddenly throws the mule to his feet again, when the gunners swab out the mule’s throat with hay and reload.” The accompanying illustrations (in brown, red, blue and gold, are still on file in the War Department) represented the rotary mule in seven different atti tildes, looking contented and happy all the time.” Ibis was felt to be outrageous auda city on the part of a subaltern. clerks in the War Department laughel at the funny letter immoderately, but their superiors looked serious. Jefferson Davis, the head of the department, was terribly indignant, and he resolved defend his wounded dignity. Charges and specifications were drawn U against Lieutenant Derby, and the cers were actually named for his martial when William L. Marcy, Bee retary of State, a man of more sense and self-poise, said to the irate feeoie tary : here, General [D vis, don . t “Now, see undoubtedly do it.

You can organize a court that will convict him but you will be the butt of ridicule on account of it ail your life, Better file the suggestions of the crook and ring and the lively rotary mule and say nothing. __ .
