Tho fol lowing is a specinien paper: TflE OKDEKS OF GUECIAN AlinillTEf!- TURE. The origin of Grecian arehitecture is coiiinionly supjiosed to have been in the eighth ceutury B. C. It attained a degree of perfection neverlieforeequal ed and iu its peculiar departiiieut has uot sincu been stirpassed. To undei-stand some of the reiiiaius of arehitectuie in Gieece at the present day, we niust bear iu inind that at the tiuie of its appearauce, therc existed two coiitetnporaueous races in that eouutry, one (whose origin is uukuown) ealled Pelasgi, was supienie at Athens at tho time of the Trojan war, theother was more nearly Aryau in its origiu and custonirt, and largcly iuhabited Sparta. Of the fortner race all that reiusiius ue a few architectural ruins. Its lau- guuge has been long extiuct. The niost noted of the existing remains of Pe- lasgic aichitocture is fonud at Myceuae. It. is kiiown as the toinb or treasure of Athens aud is iu the foriu of a pointed arch. It is quite suiall in sizc, and is uow almost entirelv nndergiound. As a iule, Pelasgic remaius are noted prin- cipally tor stahility, inakiiig but little preteusions to beauty. What is cotnuionly kiiown as Grecian (more properly Helleuic) arehitecture, appeared lirst at Corinth, lour ccnturies after the building of the Pelasgic re mains jnst uienlioued. As usiially elassilied, Grecian arehitecture com- prises three orders, the Doric, Ionic, aud Corinthiau. The oldest of these ordeis is the Doric, the sryle of which is evidently borrowed froni tho Egvptians. It is distinguishcd foritssiniplicity, inassive- ness, and majestic beauty ; the colnmns have no bases, are laige and tapering iu fonn, and are snrmounted by a large and plain capital. This order is said to have been more loved and cultivated by the Greeks than anv othcr. The oldest existing Doric Tcmple is at Corinth, being built 030 li. C. Its colunius are very short iu proporiion t their size, iuipairing its ell'ectasa work of art. Several other teinxIesinight be uieutioued, but tho most celebi-atedand best example of the Doriu order is the "Parthenon," which has been called "of tbe kind the most beautiful building in the world." At the time of its con- structiou its uiaguificence probably ex ceeded our hmhest conceptions. It was constructed with white inarble through- out, was oruaiuented with scnlpture, aud in the proportion of every part, and the fiuishing of every detail, was as near perfection as hunian workscau be Its diuiensions were 101x227 feet. The Ionic otder is distinguislied by more gracefulness and oriiaineutatiou than the Doric. The shaft is lighter and rests upou a base. But the priu cipal characteristic is the spirals ou its capital, called volutes. It was proba bly introduced from Asia. Two tcm ples of this order, built about the same time, are historically famous : Diaua at Ephesus, and Juuoat Samos. The larger of these was tho teniple of Diaua, being 425x220 feet. It also was built of white marble, some bloclts being 30 feet in leugth. The aucieuts regarded this as one of the seveu wouders of the world. It was burned by Herostratus to immortalize himsclf, in the year 350 B. C, and was afterwards rebuilt. The Corinthiau order was the last iu use aniorg the Greeks. It seenis to be a uuiou f the Egyptiau and Ionic char acteristics. Its style is the most sleU' der and oruaiuented of the three orders its capital is handsomely decorated witl acanthns leaves. This circumstance gives riso to a legeud regarding the oriirin of the order: that. an Athenian sculptor saw a basket covered with tile, around and over which acanthus leaves were growing, the stalks being crowded dowu by the tile formed (to tbe imagination of the artist,) the volutes, and having sketcbed it, he afterward invented the Corintbian or der, with this for a fonndation. The oldest and most beautiful example of this order is the nionumcntofLysicrates at Athens ; other buildiugs are the teni ple of Jupiter Olympus, the size of which is 171x354 feet, aud the tower o tho winds. These are tbe orders ou which nearly all inoderu arehitecture has been found ed, aud like a tbeme in music, we niight say, they surpass all variations both in simplicity, and iu true beauty and gi-ace. Western Correspondence. Ciiicago, March 1G, 1877 STUDENT-SUICIDES. Some of our papers have lately beeu giving a sammary of the vast aniouu of iutellectual labor peiformed by tbe illustrious pbilosopber, Johu Stuart Mill, before reacbiug tifteen years of age. If they had followed his course to his twenty-first year, and then mad a note of what canie near beiug the re salt of his excessive, almost superbuman efforts and attaininents, it niight have served as a warniug similar to tbose wliicli the several receut suicides of overworked studeuts suggest, instead )f beiug presented as au example in any wise fit to be followed. A sad list has been tnade up within a few days, embracmg no less than four student suicides, all driven to deatb under tbe ard grind of too iucessaut and earuest application to study. These were Wal ter P. Thompson, a receut graduate of Pbillips Academy, Emil Scbwerdtfager, of Cornell Univei-sity, a son of Professor Colvin, of tbe Ohio Agricultural Col- lege, but sixteen years of age, and Geo. C. Wheeler, of Dundee, Micli., aged twenty-two years, wbo becaine insaue from hard study, and niauufactured one f the most infernal of machiues where- with to destioy bis life, that he niight ave tho glory of raising himself from the dead by the application of some life-uiviutr chemical be had invented. These cases reniind me of liow near the world canie to being beieft of tbe beueflt whatover that is of tbe great life-work of JOHN STUAUT MILL,. Tbe amotint of iutellectual labor he peiformed in the first twenty years of his life is astouishiug to nien of ordi uary capacities and of less favorable oppnrtuuities. The resnlt of it is seen n tbe dark and sad shadings of his easoniug and tbiukiug relatiug to ua- ture and life, and canie very near being even more disastrous tbau this iu de- priving the world of his work altogetb er. I will let hiiu tell the reader about in a few brief quotations from his autobiography, publisbed iu 1874. He was boru May 20tb, 180G. He says: It was iu the autuuin of 182G. I was in a dull state of nerves, such as every one is occasionally liable to ; nusus- ceptible to enjoynient or pleasurable excitemeut ; one of those inoods when what is enjoyineut at. other titnes be- coines iusipid or indifferent; tbe state, I should think, iu which couverts to Methodism usuallv are, wheu smitten by tbeir first convictionsofsin For some months tbe clonds seeined to grow thicker and thicker. The lines in Coleridge's 'Dejcction' 1 was not theu acquainted with them exactly describe mv case : 'A grief wlthout a pang, void, dark and ilrear, A drowsy, stified, nnimpassioued grief, AVblch linds no natural outlet or relief In word, or sigh, or tear. I felt, too, that iniue was not au iuterestiug or in any way spectable distress." Tbree or four pages further on, iu tbe descriptiou of his mclaucholy conditiou, be says he "had no delight in virtue or tbe geueral good, but also just as little iinything els-e. Tbe iouutaiiis of vamty anu anilntion secmed to have dried up within me as coinpletely as tbose of benevolence." Aud detailing fnrtber his somlire reflections he con- tiuucs: "These were the tboiights that miugled with the dry, beavy dejectiou of the melancboly winter of 182G-7. I frequently asked uiyself if I was bouud to go on liviug, when life niust be passed iu this manner. I geu- erally answered to myself, that I did not think I could possibly bear it be- yond a year." B'.it before half the year had elapsed he found some relief, aud grudually le covered so far that life ajrain becaine tolerable, though a trace of this gloom ruus tbrough uiucb of bis work, aud it hung in dark clonds on his mind white coiuposiug his tbree great essays ou religiou. One of the most brilliant studeuts over graduated froni an Anierican col- lege has beeu in a niiicli sadder condi tiou tbau this almost ever siuce tbe essay of houor was recited twenty-one months ugo, and innch of tbe time a precious life has beeu despaired of by physiciaus aud friends aud from the same cause over-study. Auu uow niauy are going or have gone out of the world under like shadows, I have no ineans of knowing. But the known cases are numerous enougb to waru pa- rents aud teacbers to be ou their guaid against the hurry and worry so often attending the course of study prescrib- ed iu these days. If the brigbtest and best of our children are driven to deatb by our higb pressnre modes of iustruc tiou, it isa scrious questiou whether we sball flnd compeusatiou for so costly a saciifice in what these methods accom- plish for tbe less delicate minds wbicl are able to eudure the hard drive ot the drill. But hcre is sometbing more cheerful It is BBET HARTE'S "THANKFUL BLOSSOM," The story of a New Jersey dainsel wbo lived in the time wheu George AVash ingtou's soldiers were quartered iu that State by tbe sea. She foll in love with a Connecticut captaiu and talked of treasou with him, but wheu be was ar rested, be east suspicions on her fathcr, and this brought her iuto the preseuce of the "fatber of bis eouutry," whose wisdom and maguauimity she soon learued to admire, aud in turn fell in love witb a more faithful captaiu, aud so forth. It is told in tbe quaint style for which the author is noted, with tbe frequent surpnses, felicitious turns aud brigbt flashes of genius, wit, or what over it is, aud with less of harrowing suirsrestion than is usual witb him. If you begin it, it will lead you rigbt ou to the end. O. P. Nellie Grant Sartoris has made the Ex-President a bappy grandfather again. Mr. and Mrs. Grant expect to start on tbeir buropeau trip in May, accompauied by their youngest son, and be gone two years, traveliug privately and so avoiding public demonstrations, The First and the Last of Her. They were all eujoying the breeze that swept tbrough the wide parlors that suminer evening, it had beeu so hot of late. Tbe inonth was May, the place was Philadelphia, and I am al most afraid to say this it was the Centeunial time. Butdon'tbealarmed, my reader; I am not going to describe tne lireat .hxposition, nor tell anytbiug about it, nor sball I give any informa tion coucerning '70 of either this or the last century. I only inteud to relate au incident that happeued to take place tben aud tliere. The people eniovinir tbe breeze were a family by tbe naine of Fenton, and cousisted of a fatber and motber, two grown-up daughters, one growu-up sou, and a little girl. Mrs. Fenton had iust been saving tbat she supposed they would soon be overrun wiih visitors comiug to spend a few days aud see the Centeunial. "Well, let them coine;" said Mr. Fenton, beartily, as be turned his pa per mside out. "1 don't know oue that I wouldu't bo glad to see." "iNor l," returned Mrs. ij enton. "1 am always so thaukful tbat we needn't ue asliamed ot any ot our relatious. Tbere's sister Kate ! wbo could be more deligbtful than she isi" "Oh, Aunt Kate is peifectly splen did !" chorused tho young people. "And tbere's Uncle Pbil and Aunt Emilj-," said Mabel, the eldest girl. "And Cousin Joe and his wife," add ed Florence, the sccond daugbter. "And John aud his family," put in Mr. Fenton. "Oh ! if you go to countiug up, yon'll uever get tbrough," said Tom, the son and heir. "But Isay ! havent we any objectionablc connections at all 1 Isn't there some old duffer wbo'll turn ui just at tbe wroug monient?" "No, I baven't any," said Mr. Fenton. "No-o-o," said Mrs. Fenton, rubbing ber forehead tbougbtfully. "Stop ! 1 think I reuiember one. Of course Cousin Jeruslta! I wouder I didu't think before. But I don't know that she is objectiouable; tbe fact is, I don't know anytbiug about ber. She's lived 'way up in Vermont all ber life. Sbe is a uiece of grandfatber's aud is au old niaid ; at least she ougbt to be, if she isn't marned or dead. Her name is Hevington Jerusha Hevingtou. I al ways tbougbt it such a pity to spoil such a fuie name as Hevington with Je rusha. I hope she won't come ; I'm sure she niust be perfectly awful !" The two young ladies had been look- iug at tbeir mother in blank sileuce ever siuce sbe had mcntioued this un- pleasant relation ; Tom had gone off in a lit of laughter ; so tbat Mr. Fenton was tbe only oue wlio spoke: "'Well, if she coiues, all we can do is to make tho best of it, aud treat her as well as we know bow." "Oh, of course," said Mrs. Fenton Tom bere looked at bis watch, and staited up, exclaimiug thatho should be late, he had an appointuient, aud bolted olV, proinisiiig to be hoiue early. I hen Mr. r enton settlcd dowu tor a nap : Alrs. rcntou tiurieil lierselt m Lorna Doone; and the cirls vawned over their Japanese canvass, fearing a dull evening. I he air Kently iluttered tbe laco cur- taius, the mellow light sboue dowu from the niauy-globed chandelier unon the fresh white uiattiug, the liuen-dran- ed furniture, the picturcs and statu- ettes, tbe three ladies iu their pretty evening dresses, anu tlie oiii gentlcmau snorinjr away belimu 1ns newsimner; all was as quiet as quiet could be, wlieu violeut liiill at the door bell made them all nearly juinp out ot thcirskins Who on eartli is that V1 asked Mr. Fenton, boiiucing up. Jlrs. Fenton dropped her book aud irave a scarcd look iuto tbe hall. "I suppose it's Mr. Vunderpool,' said Mabel. "Oh no, bo nererrings like tbnt," said florence. , Their old colored waiter had onened the door by this time, and a loud voice was beard luquiriug, "Uoes Mr. Feutou Mr. Sauiuel Fenton live here f" "Yes, nia'am, he does," old James ans wereu , respect t n 1 ly . "Wa'al, then, 1 guess 1'H walk nght 1 seen tlie lolks througb tbe wiu der :" and apparently before tbe old servaut could sto ber, tlie owner ot the voice did "walk rigbt iuto" the parlor a tall, strong-featured woinau, with lrou-gray han, clad iu a brilliantly flowered dress tbata bulging hooii-skirt showed to advautage, .and a sbawl of vivid red aud yellow nluul. A bonnet of the shape called poke was on ber head, and trom it dangled a tluck green veil. Sbe wore gray cottou gloves, and one hand firml y graspcd a luinpy car- pet-bag, tbe other a fat umbrella. Sbe looked coinf'ortable and common from top to toe. She peered at the group tbrough her stecl-bowed spectacles, and tucking ber umbrella under the carpct bagarm, shecxteuded her hand, "Wa'al uow, I s'pose yer don't know me. I'm Jerusha Hevingtou yer cousin, Jern sha Hevingtou." Tbe strickeu family were dumb. Mr. Fenton was the first to recover. He took the proffercd hand, sbook it warm- ly, aud led the lady to a cbair, begcinc ber to be seated ; he could not say tbat she was welcomc, but be tned to make her feel as if sbe were. Mrs. Feuton tben canie forwnrd, aud sittiug dowD beside ner, askeu some tnendly ques tious about the journey : and the cirls, a little conscience-sniitteu, offered to take her thiugs. "Wa'al, I guess I won't iest now, thank yer I'vegot to go aud see about my truuk in a minute : 1 hed it lett m a grocery store jest arouud tbe corner. Tbe young man was awful pleasant when I told him that I was oue of your tolks ue seems to set a heap by you." "Good graciou8 !" tbougbt Florence witb ashudder. "I wonder if sbe has beeu going all througb the city adver- tising ber relatiousmp to us !" "VVa'al, Samnel," begau Miss Jeru sha. "Yer've cot two tine likelv cals they'd ougbter help tbeir mar a sigbt iu doin' house-work and sich. It must take a powerful heap o'work to keep all tbem fussin's cleau" with an ad niiriug, ratber awe-struck glance about the room. Tben sbe weuton, "Is them all tne ciuldreu yer've cot, Maria 7" Mrs. Fenton answered that she had two more, a son and a little daughter, Mabel onereu to senu tor ber little sis tcr, thinking that a child might make couverse easier, but Miss Jerusha an swered, witb such evident alarm and disrelisu, "For law's sake, no! I can bear children," that sbe drew back, of feuded. Mrs. Fenton looked aunoved but Miss Jerusha, nnabashed, began to compiain oi tno awtui drougut up in tbeir place, while au awful sileuce fell upou the rest. A quick light ring made tbe girls start anu terventiy iiope tbat it was not Mr. Vanderpool 5 aui sure for the first time in their lives. To have Mr. Van derpool, of all beiugs in tbe world, see tbis dreadful relative Mr. Vanderpool, wbose fatber belonged to tbe oldest of Knickerbocker families, and wbose mother was au F. F. V. ; wbo was so fastidious and refiued himself! It took only a few seconds for this to rush througb their brains, wheu in Mr. Vau derpool walked. He was greeted in a ratber embarrasscd manner by them all, and inveigled into a seat as far as possible from Miss Jerusha, on preteuse of its beiug cooler by the wiudow. But Miss Jerusha didn'c inean to be leftiu tbe background sbegof up from ber cbair and stalked over to tbe group. "Wbo's this young man K" she blaud- ly inquired, iudicating Mr. Vanderpool with her cotton torennger. Mabel, witb a very red face, intro duced "Miss Hevington," mentallv grateful that the name wasn't Mulkins or Snooks. Mr. Vanderpool made an astonisbed bow, but Miss Jerusha held out her hand, aud gavc his an unmerciful grip, exclaimmg beartily, "Pm real glad to see yer, mister. But see bere, sis" to Mabel 1 ain't asliamed o'beur your cousin yer might hev interdooced me as sich." Then ordering Mr. Vanderpool "to set down on tho sofy," she took her place beside him wheu he had obeyed. "Wa'al, uow, I didn't spect to see sich a fiue young feller the fust night I come abeau o' yourn, 1 s'pose K" she said to Mabel, iu a loud voice. Mabel wished that the eartb would opeu and swallow some one of the party. "Wa'al, yer needn't git so al-nred red ; yer ain't got no call to be asliamed o' biiu ; he seems a uice nuff kind o' young man." Mabel telt the colu sluvers rnnning up aud down ber back, aud tbougbt sbe kuew the meaniug of purgatory now. Miss Jerusha, quite blisslul, turneu to Mr. Vanderpool, and put some searching questions witb legard to bis "trade. ' Mr. vanderiiool pohtely an swered tbat he was studyiug for tho bar. rlnm! bar-tender; 1 shouldn't hev tbougbt it!" was Miss Jerusba's com meut. Tbe girls sat shudderiug, and won- deriug what wascoining nexl. Mr. aud Mrs. Fenton were holding a council ot war iu tbe back parlor. Miss Jerusha was sileut tor tho space of tbree uiinutes, gazing upon Mr. Van derpool witb sucb aident admiratiou that be began to feel nervons. 'xon're awtui like Liiiius hwmeheld ! ' she exclaimed at leugth "the fust. beau i ever hed. 1 knowed hnn when we went to tho deestrict school.

Blue Glass. SOMETHING ABOUT GEN. PLEASONTON's BLUE GLASS EXPERIMENTS. Spccial Correspondence of the Chieago Tribuner Some months ago, a number of the papers in tbe eouutry criticised, geu erally with some degree of facetions uess, a book written by Gen. A. J Pleasonton, ot Philadelphia, eutitled "Blue and bun Liigbt ; their luflueuce upou Life, Disease, etc." Some of the ldeassettortb by Gen. Pleasonton are cal culated to startle reading aud tboucht ful persous, and, failincr to comprebend bis theories, it is no wonder that the critics poked considerable tuu at tbem My attention was receutly diiected to the "blue glass" treatmeut by an old friend, wbo recommeuded its use iu a case of sickness iu my family. Having connuencein my tnenu, 1 wroteto Ueu Pleasonton regarding it, aud iu reply received a copy ot bis book. and 111 8tructious regarding the application ol tbe blne light in the case I recited to bim. Haviug practical evidence befoie me of tbe benefits to be derivcd from the application of tbe "blue light," pronose in tbis letter to give some geu eral idea of Gen. Pleasouton's theories regarding the BLUE AND SUN LIGUTS. To premise, then, Geu. Pleasonton the author of the book in questiou, was uot the famous cavalry Ieader during the war, as has been quite generally supposed, but his elder brotber. The ivalry leader is Gen. Alfred Pleasou- tou, while the discoverer of tbe blue light tbeory is Geu. Augustiis J. Pleas onton. He is a graduate ot WestPoint : was in the regular army for some time, from which be resigned; duiing the war he was a Bncadier-General ot Pennsylvania militia, and was selected to organizo a body of 10,000 nien with- n the istatc tor use iu emergencies. ile is a lawyer of promincuce in Philadel phia, a geutlemau of culture, wealth, unl reiincmeut. Owninjr a larm out- side of the city, be, in 18G0, commenced to expenment upon lus theory regartl- ng the dinerent colors iu the ruii's rays, imd their etfects 1111011 vegetable and auimal life. Experiiuents made in E11- rope had already demonstrated that the blue rays of tbe sun's light had greater chemical powera than any of the othcrs, developed a greater amouut ot heat, uid were especially stimulating to veg- ctation. But these cxperimciits had beeu barreu of practical results, and Gen. Pleasontou was left to his own resources to carry out his ideas. He built a large grapery, covered with glass, every eighth row of which was blue. By tbis anaiigeiiicnt, the suu, iu makiug its rounds, CAST A BLUE RAY OF LIGHT Upon every plant and leaf within tbe grapery. In April, 1801, he set out twcuty varieties ot graiie-viues 111 his giapery, all ot the cuttings being one year old, the size of a pipe steiu, aud cut close to the ground. 1 he vmes soon began to show a most vigorous growth, and in a few weeks the grapery was tilled witb vmes and foliage. By bep tember or five months after setting the seedman who had furuisbed the cuttings made measuremeuts, aud found that tho vmes had growu iorty-hvc teet n leugth, and were an nicli 111 diameter 1 foot above the ground. These vines altracted great attention iu tbe neigb borhood, but it was predicted that, ow- mg to this uiiusual growth, they would uot bear fruit. Next year, however, the vines displayed the same vigorous growth, and, in addition, bore over 1,200 ponnds ot luscious giapes ot uii usual size. This was more astonishing to borticulttiiists than tbe growth of the vines, but from that day to tbis the vmes have kept up the same vigorous growth, being entirelv free from disease and destructive insects, and bearicg with proportionate prolificness. How remarkable this resnlt is will be appre- ciated when it is known tbat, iu grape- growingcountries, the vmes do uot near iruit uutil the bftli or sixtb vear. Hav- nng been so successful in his first ex- )eriment with vegetable life, Geneial Pleasontou next tned tbe ellect ot BLUE LIGHT UPON. ANIMALS. His first expcrimcnt was witb a litter of pigs, which he iilaced iu a peu which was lightcd Iv blue aud plain glass, iuserted in tbe toof in cqunl propor- tious. J his litter gained woudertiilly in weigbt, size and streugth, aud at the end of a few months, weie found to weigb very much more than a similar litter raised in the usual wav. He uext experimented with au Aldcrney bull- calf, which was so puiiy and weak at its birth that the mauager oi the tarm said it could not live. It was put under blue glass, aud iu twenty-four hours it was ible to staiul up, and was taught to drink milk ; in four months it was a peifectly developed bnll, strong and vigorous, and was turned in with the herd of cows, and has siuce fulfilh'd every expectation remirdiur him. Snb sequt'iitly, othcr cxperiiueuts gave bim coniuience, aud uow all his came are raiscd under blue glass, showiug great vigoraud tbe most surprisnig precocity iV heiter liecomes a mother when 14 uionths old aud the cows aud their progeuy are bealthy and strong, aud tbe tormer are great nulkcrs. It is geueral ly beld that beifei-s should not bear young befoie they are four years old, but, under tlie liitlucucc ol blue glu.-' they do so, without injury, wheu 18 uionths old, thus saving the expense ot kcepiug them througb two and a-half years. Tbe beneficial efl'ect of the as- sociated inaiu aud blue rays of sun'i light upon vegetable aud auimal life haviug been deinoustraled, to tbe won der aud amazenient of all wbo had ob- served the expeiiments, their efl'ect was tned upon VARIOUS SICK PEK&ONS. The most astonishing results have been obtained, which are certified to in such lnanneras to leave 110 doubt regard ing them. Commodore Goldsborongb, who had read something regarding Geu Pleasouton's discovery, relates tbe case of a lady wbo prematurcly gave birth to a child, which was weak and puuv, weigbing but thiee and a-half pounds at birth. 1 hero were blue curtains to the wiudows of the room iu which the child was reared, and these were ar ranged so that the light, euteriug the 100111, eame about equally througb the blue curtains and tbe plaiu glass of the wiudows. The child began to thrive, developed a tremendous appctite, while the lacteal system of tbe mother was gieatly excitcd, and her supply of milk great ly increased. The child grew rap idly in bealth, streugth and size, aud at. the end of four months, weigbed twenty-two pounds. Commodore Golds borongb experimented with two broods of cbickeus, placiug oue under blue glass, and the other in an ordinary cnop. llie iormer soon showed tlu stimulating efl'ects of the blue glass tbeir growth being almost visible from day to day, aud their streugth, size and vigor lar exceedmg that ot tbe cbickeus in tbe ordinary coop. This istcstimonv from agentleman of higb stauding, wbo is in tbe babit of carefully weigbing his wortls. 1 he WIFE OF A PHILADELPHIA FIIYSICIAN, was sufl'ering froni a complication of disordei-s, and the mcdical frateruity of Now York aud Philadelphia could do notbing lor ber. Her busbaud, Dr lieckwitn, wntes that stie was sulicrin from nervous irritatiou aud exhaiistiun which icsulted in severe ueuralgic and rheumatic paius, depriving her of sleei: and appctite for food, producing great ueuuity anu a wasnngaway or tne oouy The lady and her busband had abau- donded hope ot her recovery. tien Pleasontou recommeuded tbe trial of the blue glass and accordiugly Dr. Beck with arranged oue sash of a wiudow with alternate panes of blue aud com- 'mon glass. His wife theu exposed to tbe enect ot tbe associated rays ot blue and plaiu light, those portious of ber body which were afTected by neuralgia. In three uiinutes she experieuced relief, and in ten miuutes tbe pains disappear ed. With each application of the as sociated lights, ber paius becaine less, her appetite audstiength returned, and in three weeks she was restoied to bei norinal healthful conditiou. Tbis lady had been losingber bairin cousequeuce of her sickness, there being several bald places 011 her head. Under tbe stiinu lating effects of the blue glass, the bair began to grow vigorously, aud tbe bald places were soOn covered with a lux uriaut growth of bair. Dr. Beckwith, in relatiug this case, saj-s : "From my obscrvations of the blue and sunligbt upon my wife, I regaid it as the great est stimulant aud most powerful Ionic that 1 know of in medicine. It will be invaluable iu typhoid cases, cases ot debility, nervous depressiou and the like." TAV'O MAJOR-GENEUALS, old friends of Gen. Pleasonton, were alllicted with rheuinatism iu their fore arms, from their elbow-joints to theii finger-ends, soseveieat times tbat they were unable to hohl pens. They de termiued to "try Pleasouton's' blue glass," aud accordiugly obtained a piece of blue glass and set it up loosely in oue of their wiudows. For three days they bared their arms aud beld them in tlie associated blue and suu light for thirty miiiutcs. Each day biought tbem relief, and at the eiid of three dnys tbe rbeumatism had disappeared. ' Two years later they both inforined Gen. Pleasonton that they had not had a re ttirn of rheumatisin in any form. A little child tbat had, froni its birth, scarcely any use of its Iegs, was taken to play daily iu a room wbere blue glass formed a portion of one of tbe wiudows. In a very short time it obtained the use of its legs, and learned to walk and riin without difliculty. Numerous other cases are meutinued iu Gen. Pleasou ton's book, showiug tbat there can be 110 questiou of the stimulating and cuia tive effects of the associated blue and sun light. But I prefer to give my own experieuce, and then follow witb Gen. Pleasouton's explauatiou. A lady ot my lamily about six weeks ago, had a VIOLENT HEMORRIIAGE OF THE LUNGS, aud for ten days raised more or less blood daily. Sbe was very much weak- eued by tbe loss of blood, and consid- erably tnghtened withal. I obtained some blue glass and placed it in llie wiudow wbere sbe was in the babit of sitting, tbe blue glass constituting one hait ot the lower sasli ot tbe wiudow. Tbe lady sat daily in tbe associated lights, allowing tbe blue rays especially to fall upou the uerves of the back of tbe neck for about au bour a tlav. The second day, the sun's rays being un- usually strong, she got "too much blue glass," aud at night felt peculiar sensa- tious in the back ol the ueck, amoug the nerves, and an ti 11 pleasant fullness iu the head. These setisations wore otf next day, and since then she has not reinained so long at a time uniler the blue glass. But from tbe first she began to grow strougei, her face soou gained its natural fullness, and in a week sbe was, to all appeai-mces, as well as ever. Of course, sbe was not cuied of the trouble 111 her lungs 111 so short a time. but the soreness in her cbest has passed away, and sbe begius to feel well again. After sitting in the associated light for 1 week, a large uiiiubcrof red pimples came out ou her neck and shoulders, au uidicatiou that the treatmeut was bnng ing out to tbe surfacc tbe butuors of the blood. In a letter to me Gen. Pleason ton says : "I am satisfied that if tbis tieatment sball be contintied tbrough the winter and spring, any tubeiculous developmeut that may exist in tbe lungs will be arrested, its pus absorbed into the circulatiou, and tben tbiown off from the blood in tbe excretion (as has occurred already in the spots 011 tbe body), tlie wounds ot the tubercles will be cicatrized and tbe lady restoied to a conditiou of good bealth." In the same letter Gen. Pleasontou relates an agree- ible incident which occuned (o him but a few weeks since. A lady and ber daughter called to see bim, and an- nouuced tbat they had come from Corn- iug, N. Y., to Philadelphia, for the ex- press imrpose ot llianking I11111 tor SAVING THE DAUGHTEIl'S LIFE. Four years agi sbe was alllicted with a violent attack of spinal mcniugitis. Her suliermgs weie lndescnbable but coiitinuous. hverv eouceivable reinedv had been resorted to duriug these four years, but the patieut received no bene ht. Her nervous system at last bccanie so disordered that the slightest soiind or the most gentle agitation of the air tluew her into the most agonizinc suf- fering. She was wasted away in llesh, could not sleep at night, had 110 appe tite, and her lite was despaired ot. Hearing of Gen. Pleasouton's discovery iu associated lights, her parents de- termined to try it. A bay wiudow was Iitted with alternate panes ot blue and plain glass, and tbe young lady sat daily in the light which streamcd tbrough tbem. Her physiciaus, of couise. laugh cd at the idea, prouounced tbe wbole thing a humbiig, etc, as is tlie halnt ot professional gentlemen whenever any new idea is broacbed: The physiciaii was dismissed, and the young lady re lied wholly upon tbe blue-glass t'reat inent forherrestoration to health. The lady says that 011 euteriug the room thus ligbted the paius froni which she was siitlering almost uiimediatelv ceas' cd. They would return in a modificd form on lcavingthe room, but grew less from day to day. Very soon her con ditiou began to improve, her apnetite returned, and with it her streugth : she begau to gaiu llesh, her slecplcssness uisappearca, anu, m sliort, she wsi speedily restoied to health. The Mountain Meadow Butchery. CONFESSION. of john d. lek. BRIGIIAM YOUNG FULLY IMPLICATED. New Yokk, March 22. The follow uig is tho substance of a confession made by Johu D. Lec relative to tbe Mountaiu Meadow massacre: "I was boru at Kaskaskia, Illinois, in 1812 ; was raised as a Catbolic ; married in 1833: becaine wealthy : 011 Kuck Creek, in 1830, becanie acquainted with Mormou preachers. Ibought, read aud believed the book ot Mormon. hold my propcity iu Illiuois aud moved to the Far West 111 Missouri 111 1837, wbere I joined tbe Mormon Cburch and becaine lutunately acquainted witb Josepb Smith, Brighum Young and oth er leaders of tbe Cburch of Jesus Christ ofLatlerDay Saiuts; was subsequent ly iuitiated into the order of Danites at its first. formation. This order was soleinnly sworn to obey all orders of the pnestbood of tbe Mormon Cburch, to do any and all thiugs as commaudcd. the destuoying angels Of the Mormon Cburch were selected from tbis organization. "I took an active part as a Mormon soldier in tbe conflicts between the people of Missou ri and the Mormons, which made Jack- sou couuty (Mo.) lustoric ground wheu the Mormons were expelled from Mis- Bouri. I was one of the first to sctflc at Nauvoo, Illiuois, wherc I took an ac tive part in all tbat was done for the cburch or city. I had cbarge of tho construction of inany public buildiugs theie. Was a policeman and body guard of Josepb Smith of Nauvoo. Af ter lus deatb 1 held the same pnsiliou to Brighum Young, who succeeded Smith as prophet. 1 was recorder for the quorum of seventy, head clerk of the. church and organized the pnest bood into tbe Order of Seventies. I took all the degrees in the eiidowment house aud stood higb iu tbe priesthood. immediately atter Josejih Smith re ceived a revelation concerning polyga my, I was iuformed of its doctrines bv said Josepb Smith and (be Apostles. 1 believed iu the doctnuo aud bave been sealcd to eighteen womcu, three of wboiu were sisters and one was the mother of tbree of my wives. I was scaled to this old woman for her soul's salvation. I was an bouorcd man iu tbe church, ilatteicd and regarded by Brigbam Young aud the Apostles uutil 1808, when I wascut off from thecburch and selected as a scapegoat lo suller for and bear the sins of my people. THE MOUNTAIN MEADOW MASSACRE. As a dtity to myself and mankind I now confess all that I know aud all that I did at the Mountaiu Meadow massa cre, without animosity to any one, shieldiug nouc and giving tbe t'acts as they existed. Those witb me on Hiat occasion were acting under orders from the Chuicb of Jesus Ghrist of Latter Day Saiuts. The horrid deeds theu couimitted were done as a duty which we believed we owed to God and our church. We were all sworn to secresy beloro and after tbe massacre. The peu alty for giving informatiou was deatb. As I am to sufi'er death for what 1 then did, and bave beeu betraycd, both by tbose wbo gave me orders to act, and the most active of my nssistauts, I now give tbe true facts as they exist, and tell why tbe massacre was couimitted and wbo were tbe active participanta. The Mountain Meadow massacre was the result of the direct teachings of lirigbam Young, and it was done by ordeis of those higb in autbority in the Monnon commuuity. The immediate orders for the inassacre were issucd by Col. Dame, Lieut. Col. Isaac C. Haight and conncil at. Cedar City, Utah. I beld 110 position either in the civil or milita ry departments, or in thecburch at tbat time. About September 7, I went to Cedar City, wbere I met Isaac C. Haight, President or Governor of tbe State of Zion, and also tbe Lienteiiaut Colonel of tbe Irou Country Mormon Militia. This was Sunday. Haight was the leader there in all thiugs civil, clerical and military. It was a crime puuisbable by deatb to disobey bis or-dei-s. Haight gave me a fnll account of the emigrants coming. He said the einigrants were a roiigb set ; tbat they were bad meu, robbcrs and muiderers, andhadbelped tokill Mormon propb ets. 1 believed him. I was ordered to raise Iudians to attack the train and ruu otl'the cattle, and to have the Iu dians kill the einigrants. I Sent Carl Sbirts, my sou-iu-law, to raise tbe Soutberu Iudians. Ncpbi Johusou went to the other tribes. On Monday morning I left to obey orders. Haight said : "We are acting by orders It is dl rigbt. We will let the Iudians bear ill the blame." I said : "We are for- biddeu to sbed innoceut blood." The leply of Haight was, "Thero is not a drop of innoceut blood in the whole lot. Go, Brotber Lee, and carry out the iiistructious of tbose iu autbority. If you are dutiful iu this your reward shall be great in the kiugdoin of God, tor (iod will bless those who obey tho Council aud make all thiugs fit for tbo people of the Lord in their days." THE ATTACK ON THE EMIGRANTS. On niy way home I passed inany In- diaus 011 the war iiath. I promiscd to join them the next day. On Tuesday moniing the lndinns attacked the train atdayligbtand killed seveu and wouud- ' ed sixteen emigrants. The Iudians lost some warriors. The emigianU theu fortified aud the lndians surrounded them and sent for me. Tbe whole coiinry was aroused, both whites and Iudians rushing to Mountaiu Meadow from all directions. I arrived at the camp late Tuesday aftcinoon and found tbe Iudians in large force. They de manded tbat I sbould lead the attack. I lefused uutil further orders were re ceived from Haight or Dame. On Tliursday orders came by Major Higby. There were lifty-eight whites and about five huudied Iudians present. Then Higby made a spcech and said all the einigrants were to be killed who could talk, tbat we must get them out of the fortilicatious by treachery. A IIOKRIIILE PLOT. I was to follow a flag of truce aud make a treaty with the besieged aud promise protectiou. I was also to get tho arms of the emigrants and tbo sick aud wounded and also the children into wagoii8. Then the troops under Higby would mect the emigrants. The Iudians were to reinain iu ambiish. The woiueu were to go ahead. Tbe Iudians were theu to kill the women. Tbe militia were to kill the nien, and I aud tho drivers ol wagons were to kill the wounded and sick in the wagons. Sev eral other meu then made spccchcs. Theu we had a prayer circle, and then more speeches, and it wasagreed by all parties that it was the will of God for us to do as ordered. On Friday morn ing the einigrants had a white ilag fly iug, aud tho Mormon bretbren again assembled. Speeches were made, aud all expiessed tbemselves willing to act. ROLL OF ASSASS1NS. Maj. John M.

Major Higby then addressed the party and saidj "Bretbren, it is the oiders of the President that all emigrauts must be put out of the way. President Haight has couuseled witb Col. Dame, and has received orders fiom him to put all of tho einigrants out of tho way. All of them must be killed. Especially those that might talk again." Ue spoke of the cbaracter of tbe emigrants. He said the church autborities of Southeiu Utah were all theie, and that we were acting as a church for the sake of Christ. We were theu told we were tliere to do a duty we owed as good church people. That the orders of those in nuthnrity were tbat all of tho emigrants that could talk must die. Higby concludcd as follows : "Our orders are from our leaders, who speak witb inspired tou-
