count, weigh' or measurement, of the said Navy Yard, and
he in all reflects satisfactory to the commandant thereof.—

Diseases of the Diver.
When the celebrated Dr. Rush declared that
drunkenness was a disease, he enunciated a
truth which the experience and observation of
medical men is every day confirming. The
many apparently fnstjse excesses of those who
indulge in tlieTiseof spirituous liquors, may be
thus accoutred for: The g-itjs cause of con
duct, jvliuJiMs tak-tn fur infatuation, is very
frequently a diseased state of the Liver. No
organ in the human system, when deranged,
produces a more frightful catalogue of diseases'.
And if, instead of applying remedies to the
manifestations of disease, as is too often tiie
case, physicians would prescribe with a view to
the original cause, fewer deaths would result
I torn diseases induce.1 by a deranged state of
the Liver. Throe-fourths of the diseases enu
merated under the bead cf Consumption, have
their seat ilia diseased Liver. I)r. M’Lane’s

03“ The fol lowing mournful ballad, entitled I
the “S.ml’s List S.gh,” we take from a late
Michigan paper:
He’s gone across the sudzy so ;
He’s crost the lakev M atter!
To sea Jerushey Anjvline;
Ben Smither’s oldest dawter.
Mi heart is broak! I soon shall di,
Oh! cruel, cruel John!
And when I’m ded andberrayed
I heap you’ll look upon
The grass that groseupon my tume,
Down in the woods so dark,
Where all in sad and silent glume
And streeked skwirrels bark.
And when your out at nite as late
As eleven o'clock or later, [topped pine,
And beer the w ind whine through tire tall
Oh!!! think uv Lucy Baker.
And ef ye marry that Jerushey
You’ve crost the laix to get,
Remember that yure deerist Lucy
Died in konsekwence uv it.
03“ A boy in one of the public schools in
Newark, N. J., was whipped a few days since
by the teacher, who held his head downward
between his knees while he inflicted the pun
ishment. The holding the head downward
created a rush of blood to the head, causing
brain fever, and death in a few days afterwards.

Which the pn- li vd c MOO of a

such an event has apjs-ared in a' v responsible
setent tic jierindi, ,,l.

fv cm c makes strange cum pri m w th cre
dulity, a d |hijiu1 ir lectures dwell more on
"ii.t . uncertain or purely fabulous in science
tu rn on « 11 established facts. We hear a
gr" it d-.ii from the lyccuin about the nebulous
origin of the solar system, the existence of a
central sun in the group of the Pleiades, and
tlu* nu. ^ii.int tin c,f tLe comets. These
v ague and tii,founded speculations are set bv
tlie >. !■• ot the best established certainties of
science in borrowed light, and are thus accredit
c l precis 1 v as the Homeric tales were through
the traditions of popular religions.
Put have we nothing to fear from the wan
dering comets? Most certainly we have.—
“ 1 he tiling in the world,” says Montaigne,
“I am most afraid of is fear; ” and this, wo
think, is the direst calamity comets have ever
brought in their trains. Men are mightily
given to the worship of occult causes, and when
any thing does appear new under tlie sun it is
invested with an omnipotence of evil painful to
cos tern| late.
1 he tacts in regard to these wanderers are
few and simple; the conjectures many and mi
raculous. In the first place, comets are much
more numerous than angels’ visits, about live a
year having been observed during the period
when the prize of a comet-medal, offered by
the King of Denmark, stimulated the zeal of
amateur astronomers.
It is probable that all the comets visible in
tin; northern hemisphere, with the optical
means cf the amateurs, w^re seen during this
pe'iod; fur there was scarcely a comet which
had not several independent discoveries. Since
the comet-medals have been withdrawn the
annual average ot discoveries has sensibly di
minished, ami it ntay not he out of place here
to suggest to our American princes, what indeed
was urged before the “ American association for
the advancement ot science” last summer, that
a renewal ot these pi ize-medals in this country
might he of signal serv.ee to American astro
nomy.
1 he cornets already discovered are unques
tionably but a very small part of the swarm
wh: ii are Hitting like great ce eslial musquitoes
round the sun.
While m idem observatioi s have thus estab
lished the giegaii uis habits of tin so !••: g-t,tiled
monsters, the minutest observations and the
exactcst ealcu'atie shave billed M dot-, t the
slightest dsliirbirig el'i'i't In on them in the nm
ti"' s of the planets, though the mmols them
selves have suffered great disturbances.
' The remarkable case of L -xell’s comet de
serves special mention. This comet passed in
1. 70 very in ar the earth, alter having made a
simitar approach to Jupiter. Its orbit was de
termined ai.d its return predicted from obser
vations then made; but it never came back, and
subsequent cal illations showed that its return
was prevented by the action of Jupiter during
a second and >ti 1, nearer ap| roach ut the comet,
even within the jovial circle of the old fellow's
retainers. The comet entirely changed its
course alter this interview, and was never re
cognized a-am, vet the circumjovial statedites
kept steadily in their old courses.
It i.- lughly probable that comets make a
great show with very little material, and the
chance of the earth’s beii g hit liv the little solid
matter there is in any of them is very small.—
the prediction of a collision is h.-yond the
power of mathematics, for the position of a
c-mel's mbit, and the comet’s position at anv
time in its orbit, cam.ot he determined with
siiliic eut precision; and even if the data were
suflici-ntly exact to predict a collision of the
earth and emnot in their undisturbed orbits, it
would be inpo-sible to d-tenuiue with preci
sion the modifying effect uf their mutual ac
tion. In .ni ; robabnity a comet, even c miing
within the dominant influence of the earth’s
at traction, won Id pass by and be whisked off
into another orbit. 1 no .-ai lb’s budy is a small
mark fora comet to aim at.
1 fie comet’s tail is, to be sure, sometimes of
very inconvenient length; hut it gives so manv
indications of a ghostly nature, is so transparent
and unsubstantial, that our atmosphere is as
adamant to it. Vet it is possible, in a collision
" here no actual contusion may occur, that the
malignant .ntluences and dire calamities may
soak i; ; and so there is unfortunately a chance
el convict ng these heavenly vagabonds of the
chaigos » inch sup munition and ignorance
have in past ages made against them.
Mite, is, .lark days, an 1 d seas - are still to
be accounted i -r, a d until they are traced to
the.r cause- men \\.11 stand, as Lord Keuyou
Used to say, stater autiquus vins—on their old
superstitions.
i ue large numoer ot the comets, their ever
varying a| pearance, and the great perturbations
of their orbits, make the identification of any
but those "t short-periods extremely difficult;
and, as yet, little or nothing is known about
their nature and constitution. Cometic astro
nomy is still in its infancy. All that is un
known is common ground; and so we find the
physicians and chemists storing away malarias
and sublimated poisons in their pernicious tails,
eager apparently to be in at the •judgment and
have a baud with the astronomers and preachers
in the destruction of thesavorld.
\ arious hypothesis have been advanced about
the nature ol the comets’ tails. Sotpe have
supposed that they are vaporous exhalations
from the nucleus driven olf by heat by their
own elasticity and by a supposed repellent force
of the sun. These forces must bo very vigo
rous to account for the rapid formation of the
trains in some recorded cases. Others suppose
that the apparent tails are only the reflections
ot light from portions of a much mare extend
ed substance, somewhat as a long Hue of the
ruffled surface of the sea is illuminated by the
sun or moon. Others again resort to that prince
ol occult causes, electricity, and thus concen
trate all l heir ignorance in a single word.
There our readers had better let it be left;
and meantime we recommend them to possess
their souls in peace. We promise them suffi
cient notice of the comet’s approach to unable
them to move out of its wav; and, if they will
leave us their address, we will send them the
“Evening l’osl” of the following dav with a
full account of its advent and performances.

I hear the soft wind sighing
Through every bush and tree,
Where now dear mother's lying
Away from love and me.
1 ears from mine eye are starting,
And sorrow shades my brow;
Oil, we.ua was inn nartinff —
1 have no mother now!
1 see the pale moon shining
On mother’s white headstone;
The rose bush round us twining,
Is here, like me—alone;
And just like me are weeping
1 hese dew drops from the hough;
Long time has she been sleeping—
1 have no mother now.
My heart is ever lonely,
My life is dear and sad;
'Teas her dear presence only
That made my spirit glad.
Front morning until even,
Care rests upon my brow;
She’s gone from me to heaven—
1 have no mother now.
O^rThe editor of the Memphis Eagle and

So it goes. In two years from now it will
take a search warrant to find a man who will
admit that he ever followed a dark alley, into

It was at home ttiat King Leinutd learned

the mother—to impress* upon the young mind
the first lessons of truth, virtue, wisdom, and
courage. Her empire is iu the affection* of her
husband and children, who “rise up and call
her blessed.’’
On the right regulation of these independent
households depends the welfare of the larger
communities which, with powers more limited,
arc composed ot these associations and fairs
which are calculated to enoble. dignify, and en
rich tho occupation of t e farmer, just so far
will tend to increase the activeness atnl the
wholesome influences of lbs home—making
him and the members of his household better
citizens of the larger communities.
The family being a divine institution, the
sentiment and the affection upon which it is
based are inate in man. Hence its universality.
No merely human institution, however perfect,
can ever lake its place. Directly or indirectly,
almost all great and good men have been in
debted lor their beneficent power and influence
! to the early teachings of parents, and the genial
nurture ot home. Above all nations, we
should cherish the family relation. The in
fluence of homo was the inspiration that swell
ed the great hearts of our fathers for the strug
gle which has given freedom to their sons; and
we will fail to transmit the boon to our de
scendants if we enlist not in its preservation the
helps by which it was originally won. If all
homes could be made pleasant, and all family
relations fraternal, kind and pure,society would
lose its hypucricy and guile; and mankind, ac
tuated by true Ciir.stian charity, would move
steadily on from triumph to triumph toward
the pertection ot the intellectual and moral na
ture of man.
1 he spirit ot inquiry, investigation, and en
terprise, that has been awakened at the town
ship, county, and State Fairs, by competition
for premiums on household fabrics, and on pro
ducts of the dairy, the farm, and the shop,
may jus*In he r. garded as a link iu the chain
ot home education; and tins is a verv proper
direction tor things to take at this period iu our
history.
At the base of the prusp Tty of anv people
lies th s great principle— making ah. .r fashiona
ble at home. K locate, in struct, and ei murage,
and ■ !icr-a I im- i c-ntu c- von , a:, to give in

erful ihtiueuccs of early home education, en
deavor to hues: practical labor that wall cheer
the heart of each member of the tannic, and
thereby you will give to your household the
g »ce, peace, retineme1 t, and attraction which
God designed a home shoul 1 possess. Tho
truth is, we must talk more, think more, and
it't more iu rctereuce to questions relating to
home.
1 lie training and improvement of the physi
cal. intellectual, social, and moral power and
sent met ts of the youth of our country requires
something more tha i the School house, Acade
my, College, and University. Tire young mind
should receive judicious training in the field, in
the garden, iu the barn, in the work-shop, in
the parlor, in the kitchen—iu a worJ, around
the hearthstone, at home.
What- ■ver intellectual attainments your son
may have acquired, lie is unlit to go forth into
society if he lias not had thrown around him
the gonial and purifying intlueuccs of parents,
sisters, brothers, and the man-saving influence
of the family7 government. Ttie nation must
look tor virtue, wisdom, and strength, to the
education that controls and shapes the home
policy ot the family circle. There can be no
love ot country w here there is no love of home.
Patriotism, true and genuine, the only kind
worthy of the name, derives its mighty strength.
In in Ibuntaii s that gush out around the hearth
stone; and those who forget to cherish tho
household interest will soon learn to look with
i difference upon the interests of their common
country7.
We must cultivate the roots—not tho tops.
W e must make the family government, the
school, the farm, the church, tiie shop, the ag
ricultural fairs, the laboratories of our future
greatness. We must educate our sons to be
farmers, artisans, architects, engineers, geolo
gists, btanists, chemist—in a word, practical
men. Their eyes must he turned from Wash
ington to their States, counties, townships, dis
tricts, and homes. This is true patriotism and
tlie only patriotism that will perpetually pre
serve tho nation.

A correspondent of the North-western Advo
cate, Chicago, Illinois, who urges the necessity
of a reform in church music, says; “ Our ama
teur choir singers are too fond of ‘executing’
difficult pieces, and astonishing common peo
ple with reverberating resonances. The Rector
of St. Bardolph’s takes oil' this style admirably
in describing the singing of the following stanza:
“ ‘ True love is like that precious oil,
hid), pour'd on Aaron's head,
Ran down his beard, and o’er liis robes
Its costly moisture shed.’
“In the prodigious effort of this perform
ance, the ear-splitting combination of the sev
eral voices hardly bore a resemblance to that
oily current poured on Aaron's head, and
which
“ ‘ Ran down his beard, and o'er his head—

A California Wife,—Wo have been told
that when John Bigler, late Governor of the
State of CalifornTii, was a member of the State
Legislature, Mrs B., his wife, absolutely wash
ed the clothes of somo of the honorable gentle
men for so much a dozen. At the time of his
election Bigler was very poor, and his per diem
was hardly enough for himself ai d wife to live
on in those prodigal times. To make both ends
meet, and to save something against a rainy day,
Madame Bigler put her sholder to the wheel,
as above related.
Now, won’t this be rather startling to the
pale-faced, attenuated damsels of the East, who
scream and faint at the sight of a wash-tub or
a cobweb? Think of it! The wife of an ex
Governor with her sleeves and gown tucked
up, bending over the wash-tub, while her hus
band, with his dickey standing upright,chafing
his ears, rose to a question of privilege—“Mr.
Speaker! Mr. S-p-e-a-k-e-r!” And then think
of the ex-washwoman being feted, three years
after, as the wife of the Governor of the State
of California, worth a hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars!—enough of money to make the
heads of universal snobdom duck and divelike
an affrighted water-fowl in a thunder storm!
Good for the Pennsylvania Dutch girl! Five
hundred years hence, when the historian lifts
the veil from tile catacombs of the past, aud
writes the history of the unforgotten dead, he
may, perhaps, append this little episode to the
history of one of California’s Governors, and
the little ragged girls that then go down to
dip water from the Rio Sacramento may think
better of their mothers who have to labor, be
cause a long time age Mrs. John Bigler, the
Governor's wife, tilled her wash-tub from the
same noble river. These are the piouoer wo
men of California. Therej are many such, as
strong-willed and as true, who quail not at their
own footsteps in the woods, whose heartssweli
