Rimer, Judge of Election 4 50 00 50 50 Hie New York National condenses from an England scientific periodical some interesting speculations of Dr. Alfred Knssel Wallace on the probable mtiqmty of the human species. They may well startle, it says, even those who vbave long since came to the conclusion that 6,000 years carry us but a email way back to the original home. In fact m Dr. Wal lace a reckoning, 6,000 years are bnt a day. He reviews tiie various attempts to determine the antiquity of human remains or work of art. and nods the bronze age in Europe to haw been pretty accurate If fixed at 3,000 or 4,000 years ago, the stone age of the Swiss lake dwelling at at 5,000 to 7,000 years, "and an indefinite anterior period.'' The burnt brick found feixty feet deep in the Nile alluvium, in dicates an antiquity of 20,000 years ; an other fragment at seventy-two feet gives 30,000 years. 44A human skeleton found at the depth of sixteen fedt below four hundred buried forest superposed upon each other, has been calculated by Dr. Dowler to have an antiquity of 40,000 years." Jut all these estimates pale be- ore those which Kent's cavern at Tor quary legitimates. Here the drip of the stalagmite is the chief factor of our com putations, giving us an upper floor which divides the relics of the last two or three thousand years from a deposit full of the bones of extinct mammalia, aud glutton, indicating an arctic climate. Names cut in the stalagmite more than 200 years arc still legible ; in other words, where the stalagmite is twelve feet thick and the drip still very copious not more than a hundredth of a foot has been deposited with the space of two con tunes a rate of five feet in 10,000 years Below this, however, we have a thick, o!der and more crvstaline (t. e., more slowly formed) sialagamite. beneath wLhcu again, ?in a solid breccia, very different from the cave earth, undoubted works of art have been found." Mr. Wal lace assumes only 100,000 years for the uuner floor, and about 250,000 for the lower, and addb 150,000 for the immedi ate cave earth, he arrives at the "sum half a million years that probably elapsed since human workmanships were buried in the depth of Kent't cavern." FRUIT AND HEALTH. Dr. Hnnt said at a recent meeting of the Warsaw Horticultural Society, that an absenee of fruits implied doctors' bills." We have urged for many years the importance of a regular supply of ripe fruit to prevent di-eate, and Insisted that the best rnedicine-ckest which an emigra ting family could carry to a newly settled country would be a box of early-bearing fruit trees, currants, gooseberry and rasp berry boshes, and strawberry- plaJfts. We knew a family who moved West, and took with them a very laree supply of dried fruit, which lasted them throughout the first summer. None of them tick, although disease prevailed all about them that year; but the next year, with more comforts and less privations, but with no fruit, tbey suffered much from sickness. Other Western residents have told us that so loner as they could have ripe fruit, they have - been free from al disease resulting from malaria. Southern Farmer. Two Charming Widows.

A fact'ity of writing, however great, does not-always presup pose an equal readiness of speech. Ready as a writer may appear, there is always a cettaih degree f deliberation, a minimum amount of choice, iu the seleit on of w r i or phrase, which is incompatible with the off hand dish, which heedless of form, reckless of praise or blame, plunges at once into and through the suhject, und comes out happy iu the tiiumphs of ita temerity. Editors rarely make good slump speak ers. Fewer still are happy on festal occa sions. He who might dash off with a moments notice, the most spirited descrp tion or spicy paragraph, might stammer like a very clown in the presence of an audience. His thoughts, accustomed to be weighed, find halting uttcrauce from unready tongue. This rule had few exceptions in the late editoral convention, and few made reputations as speakers. There were some notable exceptions. The President of the Association Maj. Englehard was always ready, self possessed, fluent and To The Point. The following from the Memphis Ap peal cuts like a two-edged sword. We have rarely seen more matter for reflec tion compressed into so small a compass : "T.he bondholders should beware. Slavery was as thoroughly well guarded by constitutional law and prescriptive right as any property. When the war ended slave property was extinct, and nobody thinks of paying for the property thus destroyed ? Yet these very exslave holders are required to pay in full the face-value of 1 ennessee State bonds bought by the holders at forty and fifty cents. Such waS the value of these bonds when the war closed. The people here lost s s half of their wealth, and then it war thought that bondholders, like slavehold ers, had necessarily lost fifty per cent, of his wealth, and the bondholder, it was inferred, should share the "rebel" luck. But the "reb" prefers to p.iy the whole debt. He asks no equitable scaling of bondholders' demand, and it occurs to us that the bondholder buying this rebel's - a a i i papar, with uepreciaw-a currency anu at half the face value of these rebel bonds, should be content to take paper currency instead of gold from the poor "rebel" when the latter proposes to pay in full to I the last farthing, with interest on interest, under the funding art. If, in addition to 1 thi?. these bondholders demand that the ' rebel must-pay in gold or its equivalent, it occurs to us that the exaction is somewhat j "steep." The rebel proposes to do quite enough, aud the rich must yield something to the poor. W e must have the volume of currency aug iienLed." TABLE ETIQUETTE. 1.

Boerbaave, the Dutch philos opher, tells ns that at one time he was so absorbed in a particular study that he did not close his eyes in sleep for six weeks. This seems iucredihle. A Fiench eener- a J al asserted that, for a whole year while engaged in active warfare, he slept hot one hour in twenty-four. These and similar eases are probably exaggerated We all know how often people are unwil ling to admit that they have been asleep, when they really had a sound nap. The persons mentioned ould not have surviv ed such prolonged wakefulness. An als teudaut of the late emperor Napoleon, whose nervous' system had become de ranged, died simply from inability to sleep. M fly p O tl veruiins m a w J agreeable. In the grave, the gay the graphic and the graceful, he was equally felicitous. Our young friend Skinner of the Henderson Register made his mark as a budding orator of bright promise. His voice is acceptionally fine his manlier impressive, and the substance of his re marks sensible, frequently eloquent. Capt. Deuson of the State Agriculture Journal has also a pleasai t manner and fine voice, and most poetical and eloquent diction. The handsome Duffy of the Greensboro Patriot called out at Haw River, next to Maj. Engelhard, is the most ex perience speaker of the Association. He is really a capital one. Dr. Pritchard, trained in another school, had advantages of the others. That however cannot de tract from the merits of his speeches, which were exceedingly graceful beautU tut ana eloquent, and the 'gang was prond to have him as its month piece.

Those who wanted fun had- a good opportunity on the 20th. It was not convenient for as to attend either of the entertaiaments, bnt we ac knowledge the complimentary invita- lions. The next 20th May (1875) is the one hundredth anniversary of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. An im mense number qf North Carolinians and others are coming here on that occasion to celebrate the day. Were it not for the jealous (unbecoming) feeling entertained towards Charlotte by those who really ought to act and think otherwise and feel prond that the place is growing to be a great city, we might hope to get a small appropriation from the public at largo to help make the occasion a creditable one to North Carolina. Alas! alas! her people doth not consider. Charlotte Democrat. The Heart Not Essential to Cir laticn. As yon well know. Dr. Brown-Seqnard tells us, the blood circulates from the arter ies to the veins, and Prof. Draper, of New York, lias perfectly well proved that the chemical changes occurring in tissues must he a cause of activity ot the circulation. But there are many other facts besides those he knew, which show that when we irritate a nerve, if there is more bio d in the part where that nerve goes, it is uot because that nerve goes to blood vess Is. aud affects them by dilating them, hut because of the direct transformation of nerve force into chemical force producing an attraction of blood. A great man v facts iudeed show us that cir culation will go on without an impulse from the heart. In plants the circulation proceeds from chemical changes without auy heart at all, without auy power that pushes the li quids forward. Iu t'u-tal monsters in our own species there are cases in which the mouster had no heart, aud in which the communication of its circulatory system with that of the al most half child with which it was connected, was too slight for the circulation to go ou if we were to look upon the heart as the only organ producing circulation. Besides, iu in eiubroyos, in animals at a certain degree of their devolpment form the ovum, circula tion takes place while the heart is not yet formed. And we may say that instead of the heart being the only organ that serves for circulation, that, on the soutrary, the heart is formed by circulation. The circu lation helps to give it a form of organisation, and helps to give it a function when it has accomplished its organization. I lent; ago made an experiment with frogs. consisting in making a section of the ven-! of a single tncle of the heart, dtvidiug u so as to do away with more than two-thirds of the length of that part. After a time a clot is formed there which unites the lips of the cut, and the circulation -goes on with a part of the ventricle, which is so small iudeed that there is hardly an impulse coming from it. There is a passage, however, for the blood there, and that is all that is necessary, that the great cause of "ei-culation, which is attraction, may be accomplished in every tissue through Hfe. Even in our own species it has been my lot to see one case, that of a lady, in which the heart was almost entirely destroved by fatty deposition. The heart in this case had very little actiou, if any, but still life persisted for some time. In ap pearance there was a state of health, until suddenly one day death occured. Thre is on record the ease of a man who for three days had had no heating whatever of the heart and who, nevertheless, had had a circulation. He had had no pulse the beat ing of the pa'so depending on the heart but the blood Was circulating, and life was maintained all the time. Therefoie, although I woald not say certainly that the heart is a useless organ, it is certainly by far less im portant than it was considered to be, a great deal of the work of circulation being due to the attraction that tissues exert on the blood. That attraction is increased by certain ner ves, and thereby circulation is considerably increased, sometimes, locally to a most wonderful extent, by an irritation of the nervous system. In eases of inflammation that exists inside of the cranium, we find that the carotid artery beats with tremendous vio lence. Sometimes we find an enormons in crease of pulsation in the arteries of the temple. As we find in such cases that the heart, as indicated by the pulse in the wrist, is not beating with much more force than i a - i . i usual, we must conclude tnat tnere is con siderable irritation and an inflammation in aL. . i -t ,u,. v..:. - ,u 1 ! t (Uf LUCIU ill IUB UlttlU Ol W1W pram ll- I self.

In respect to these offices it is therefore, nearly essential to their well- being. And yet how strong, for genera lions, has been the oteiudice aeainsf su- , r 9 gar! Under what difficulties, and in the face of what discouragements and protests, have our children obtainad the luxury! Can a Governor be Arrested ! Many books, contain the assertion that a King can do no wrong, and in England at least, for centuries the doctrine of King iy infallibility, in a certain sense, has been received as the undoubted law of the land. But; it was commonly suppos ed when the thirteen colonies were de clared free and independent States, that 'he cotton producing region te a Ui nab k. tbey at least had gotten rid of the old All the States are blessed' with standee royal dogma, and that under the theory 1 water power, aud there is as reessa-mky and prue ice of a democratic government, the nvers of tbe S ) nib ten rears be the Chief Magistrate would be not the should net be dotted w4tk manufactor master and sovereign, but the servant of I like the rivers of New England, and si the people, and that instead of being above them spring op towns swarming with the law, he before all olher citizens, would , est, industrieos operatives. New E be under the lew. Not so, however, at least in the Caro lines. During the Holden Kirk Pear son war in North Carolina in 1870, tbe Governor of North Carolina with the sid of the Chief J nstice, established a practi cal supremacy over both law and consti tution, the Chief Justice declaring in ef- eisely enact laws exempting the mills feet that when process was issued from from taxation for a stated period. The the courts, the power of the Judiciary was benefits sure to accrue would more than exhausted, for the reason that there was compensate for the remission of taxes on no means to compel tbe Governor to res- this kind of property." j a a i,i uas naa a monopoly ot the cotton mane- lactate long enough, and the South, or at least those States that bars escaped from' carpet-bag rale, by festering oars can successfully compete with her. At sft extra inducement for capital to seek in vestment South, the Legislatures might pect it. It is true that the Governor was for his conduct at that time wriven from office in sbamq aud disgrace, and like fate for the Cbif Justice was expected. The next instance iu which tbe claim that a Governor can do no wrong is made, occurs iu our sister State south of us. Governor Moses, of South Carolina, has been indicted by a grand jury for the erime of larceny, and, like bis bio her Holden, contends that he is above the process of the courts, and has ordered out two companies of negro militia to protect him from the , cluchcs of the Sheriff of Orangeburg, who has the process for his arrest. Verily the times are changed when the Governor of South Carolina pleads that by virtore of his office he can commit larceny without being amenable to the process of the criminal conits.
