Astounding Discovery,
Race of Sentient Beings Invisible to
the Waled Eye Discovered with
the Microscope.
JAMES A. Blt OWN
The Mobilo Register, of the 18th
contains an account of a most remark
able discovery. It says:
We accepted an invitation yesterday
to examine one of the most wonderful
and awful discoveries ever made by
man, a community of microscopic hu
man beings!
The gentleman who made the dis
covery is a well-known citizen of Mo
bile, whose name we are not at liberty
to reveal, but whom for the sake of
convenience we shall call Mr. A.
Mr. A. is a gentleman in easy cir
cumstances, who has devoted much
time to scientific pursitits, particularly
to experiments with !the microscope.
It was while examining with the instru
ment a specimen of — moss or lichen,
taken from the roots of a live oak tree
near the Spring llill fond, that Mr. A.
made his astounding discovery. He saw
clinging to the minute branches of the
lichen that he had been turning about
so unceremoniously, a hutnan being,
perfect, in form, and with a counte•
Dance revealing the wildest terror.
The microscopic man was magnified
to the size of a small red ant, and when
ho first met the eye of Mr. A. it is
doubtful which of the two were the
most terrified, the experimenter at the
unexpected discovery, or his micro
scopic fellow-ereat ure at finding himself
subjected to such rough treatment.
"Ono look was enough," said Mr. A.;
laid aside the specimen, and for
weeks 1 did not venture to use the mi
croscope again . Was it really true
that 1 had seen a sentient being,
where I expected to see only the lower
orders of animal life; or had I fallen a
victim to my enthusiasm in the prose
cution of discoveries in the microscopic
world? Had my mind become derang
ed ? I kept my terrible secret to my
self, for I could not bear the thought
of being laughed at about a matter
that had caused such sensation to my
mind. At last I determined to make
further examination of the specimen of
lichen. It remained as I had at first
examined it. The microscope was ad
justed over it. I looked again, with
what interest may well be imagined,
and there lay the man that I had seen
before, but living no longer. Ho had
died, probably of exhaustion, and there
he lay clinging with a death grip to
the lichen boughs, whither ho bad
doubtless ventured in search of game.
"Further examination convinced me
of the truth of the hypothesis. I dis
covered several animalculm recently
slain. As well as could be made out
by the magnifying power of my micro
scope, the legs of the animalculm were
tied together as visible boys tie squir
rels and partridges. The microscopic
man evidently wore clothes, but of
whet, material or how formed it was
impossible to determine."
Convinced beyond a doubt by what
ho had seen, of the existence of a race
of microscopic human beings, and
somewhat familiarized with the idea
that so revolted him at. first, Ur. A.
continued his researches with the
greatest zeal.
I=
Tho examination of several more
specimers of the lichen, and the soil
on which it grow, revealed a few more
individuals like that mentioned above.
Mr. A. was careful not to treat them
so roughly as ho did the first ono dis
covered, for the thought of having in
advertently killed a fellow•creature
has greatly disturbed him.
After a long and careful search of
the lichens and the space occupied by
them, Mr. A. had the gratification of
making his great and crowningdiscov
ery, the capital city of the microscopic
nation.
This ho carefully removed with the
foundations on which it stood, and
transferred it, to a flower pot in his
back yard.
It, was there that .he bad the pleas
ure of beholding the wonderful and
minute creation.
The portion of tho city so far ex
amined contains a population of prob
ably three millions, or a number about
equal to that of London.
It is impossible with tho microscope
in Mr. A.'s possession to tell of what
material the houses aro built—whether
they aro of earth, or wood, or both
combined.
The sticets appear under the micro
scope to be about a quarter of an inch
in width, and thronged with people
hurrying to and fro, whether in the
pursuit of commerce or on account of
the late shocks their city experienced
during its transfer from the root of the
tree to the flowor pot, cannot, of course,
he ascertained. '

But they were—men and women
magnified to the size of pismires, and
displaying all the signs of tumultuous
human life!
While we wore watching the ever
changing crowd we saw one person
rush out of a house and another
one pursue him.
The pursuer was soon joined by the
crowd in the street, and after an ex
citing chase of about the twentieth
part of an inch, measured by the na
ked eye, the thief, for such the first
mentioned individual must have been,
surrendered himself, evidently exhaus
ted by his long race.
He was taken away by persons
seeming to have authority. What the
stolen property was he held in his hand
to the last, the microscope was not
powerful enough to determine. Dur
ing the pursuit of the thief tho people
showed every symptom of excitement
common among the larger species of
human beings. They clapped their
hands, thrust their neighbors rudely
aside, and showed by their gesticula
tions the deepest interest in what was
going on, and curiosity concerning it.
Their shouts and screams on the occa
sion wore doubtless deafening to ono
another, but of course they could net
bo heard by us.
Want of space compels us to bring
this subject to a close for the present,
although we have recorded but a small
fraction of the interesting incidents
that came under our own observation,
and the more numerous ones that were
observed from time to time by Mr. A.
When the more powerful microscope
ordered by that gentleman arrives,
and the expected results are obtained
by observations with it, we shall lay
the facts before our readers.
The extent of Mr. A.'s discovery
may be summed up as follows: A
race of sentient beings, invisible to the
naked eye, in shape perfect men and
women, apparently with all the pas
sions, hopes and fears that sway the
larger species. They aro considerably
advanced in civilization, for they dwell
in densely populated cities, a state of
society in which the science of govern
ment and many of the arts that con
tribute to the comforts end embellish
ments of life must necessarily have
been developed.
The use of a more powerful micro
scope will lead to the verification of
such an hypothesis, or prove its fallacy.
As the matter stands, all who are in.
Wrested in the progress of science, and
in the spread of Christianity, -will feel
the deepest solicitude concerning the
possibility of • communicating with
these newly discovered sentient beings
in the microscopic world.
How is that to be accomplished.
Their voices cannot reach our ears,
and to them our voices must be what
the music of the spheres is to us.
Worlds go whirling through space with
a clatter that fills the universe and be
comes to mundane ears the equivalent
of silence. Such must be the hum of
the visible terrestrial creation to the
microscopic.
\V hether the existence of sentient
beings in the microscopic world was
over before suspected we are not pre
pared to say, but, had such a theory
been advanced before the discovery Wo
have recorded, it would not have been
becoming to a philosopher to reject it
without due consideration.
The magnitude of matter, so far as
it comes within the comprehension of a
finite mind, exists only relatively.
To an inhabitant of the sun surpass
ing the visible mar. in magnitude in
the same proportion that the sun sur
passes the earth, the rulers of the
earth become reduced to microscopic
beings.
TLIE BEAUTY OF TIIE FAMILY.—We
leave it to you if the "beauty of the
family" don't invariably "turn out" the
worst of the lot? If she don't culti
vate the outside of her bead to the to
tal forgetfulness of the inside? If she
is not petted, and fuudled, and flatter
ed, and shown off, till selfishness is
written all over• her? If she is not
sure to merry some lazy fellow, or
some drunken brute, who will bruise
her body—or heart—to a jelly, and be
glad to come, with her forlorn children,
fbr a morsel of bread to the comforta
ble home of that snubbed member of
the family who was only "our John"
or "Martha," and who never, by any
possibility, was supposed by them ca•
pablo of doing or being anything? We
leave it to you, if the "beauty of the
family," be he a boy, don't grow up an
ass ? If ho is not sure to disgust every
body with his conceit and affectation,
while he fancies ho is the admired of
all eyes—even if he (ton% squander all
the money he can lay his hands on,
and die in the gutter? We never see
a very handsome child of either sex,
up on the family pedestal to be admir
ed by that family and its friends, to
the exclusion of the other children,
that we do not feel like patting these
children on the head, and saying,
"Thank Providence, my dears, that
you were not born •boauties.'"
THE LITTLE ONES.—Do you ever
think how much a little child does in a
day? How from sunrise to sunset the
dear little feet patter around so aim
lessly. Climbing up hero, kneeling
down there, running to another place,
but never still. Twisting and turning,
rolling and reaehing, and doubling, as
if testing every bone and muscle for
their future uses. It is very curious
to watch it. Ono who does so will un•
derstand the deep breathing of the
rosy little sleeper, as with onp arm
tossed over its curly head, it prepares
for the next day's gymnastics. A
busy creature is a little child.

LETTER FROM THE WEST.
DAVENPORT, lowa, May 26, 1869.
Ens. GLOBE : An appreciative reader
of the Globe solicits space to apprize
his friends of his whereabouts and to
give those interested a Pennsylvanian's
impressions of Davenport and its sur
roundings.
In company with two congenial
friends the writer left Huntingdon fa
ding in the twilight of Wednesday eve,
and passing safely over the Allegha
nies and through Columbus and Chica
go, arrived in Davenport on Friday,
after a ride of about forty hours. On
leaving the depot, which is near the
river bank, in search of our friends in
the city, we were not a little surprised
at looking up the best street of the
city, to find it as steep as some of tho
hills on our highways at home.
The city is situated on the western
bank of the Mississippi river, and is
really the hilliest city we have ever
visited. The laud rises abruptly from
the river and is cut by deep and irreg
ular ravines which render grading dif
ficult and expensive. But judging
from the amount of levelling done and
improvement made, the city authori
ties are likely to make it one of the
most beautiful and desirable cities of
the west.
The finest residences aro situated on
the bluffs, commanding a view of Rock
Island and the majestic river. They
aro models of beauty in structure and
are surrounded by spacious yards full
of trees and shrubbery. The site on
which the upper part of the city is
built seems to have been a dense grove
of oaks, uniform in height and size,
from eight to twelve inches in diame
ter. These have all been suffered to
grow, except whore necessity deman
ded their removal. Beyond the city
the cattle graze over acres, beneath
thick shades and through beautiful for
ests.
A trip or two to the country gave us
un insight to farm life. Our observa
tions extend through parts of Scott,
Cedar and Muscatine counties. AU
know that the soil of lowa is deep,
rich and very productive. The im
provements are not as good as those
in older States, owing in part to the
fact that much of the laud is owned
by mon living in the cities, and by non
residents of the State, and let out to
farm. Besides land is continuously
changing hands, owing to the attrac
tions farther west. On most of the
farms, cheap houses aro built for ten
ants, with very inferior shelter for
stock. At present writing the crops
look very flattering. Wheat, oats and
btirley aro just now so nearly alike in
appearance and growth that none but
an expert can distinguish them. The
former being sown in the spring is be
hind the wheat in Pennsylvania in
growth and will be about two weeks
later in the harvesting.
The land in lowa is all divided into
sections and the roads are consequent
ly straight,intersecting at right angles.
It is singularly surprising to ride for
days without being jostled by contact
with stones, and it is just as surprising
to see your horses sink in a slough and
snap the mingle trees, leaving you in
the carriage to select the best route to
the fence, if there be one. The scarci
ty of stone to pike will ever militate
against travel in the spring of the year.
Water of the first quality is found by
digging a few feet; the climate is heal
thy, and we know of nothing to pre
vent lowa from becoming one of the
richest and most desirable States of
the Union.
Wo might add for the relief of any
of our eastern neighbors . who have
fearful apprehensions of the uncivilized
state of the people, that they need no
longer hesitate on that score to emi
grate, fur most of the people we have
met are of eastern extraction, and ma
ny of them have had the advantages
of a parentage much farther east than
the Keystone or New York. Besides,
if you want to buy an improved farm
inside of forty or fifty dollars an acre,
you will• be obliged to.emigrate very
soon. Respectfully,
A BEAUTIFUL, SENTIMENT. Life
boars us on like the stream of a mighty
river. Our boat first glides down the
mighty channel—through the playful
murmurings of the little brook and
the windings of its grassy borders.—
Tho trees shed their blossoms over our
young heads; the flowers seem to offer
themselves to the young hands; we
aro happy in hope, and grasp eagerly
at the beauties around us, but the
stream hurries on, and still our hands
aro empty. Our course in youth and
manhood is alone a deeper and wider
flood, among objects more striking and
magnificent. We are animated at the
moving pictures and enjoyment, and
industry all around us; we 14 re excited
at some shortlived disappointments.—
The stream bears us on, and our joys
and our griefs are alike behind us.—
We may be shipwrecked, but we can
not be delayed; whether rough or
smooth, the river hastens on till the
roar of the ocean is in our pare, unit
the tossing of the waves is beneath our
feet, and the floods are lifted up around
us, and wo take our leave' of the earth
and its inhabitants, until of our future
voyage there is no witness save the
Infinite and Eternal.—.Heber.
Flowers teach us wo aro mor
taf—as they fade so must we. The
lesson is daily offered us—do wo heed
it? Evergreens hipt of immortality,
because in the dreariest days of win
ter they aro green-robed; yet they too
die.
A fatal disease is raging among the
cattle in and about Fredericsburg, Va.,
and espepially utpong the milph cows,
which takes them off suddenly.
Mans chief good is an upright uajnd

The Marriage gelatip,
In the Presbyterian General Assem•
bly, Old School, in session at New
York, recently, Rev. Mr. Beer offereCT
the following resolutions :
Whereas, It is well known that the
unscriptural views of the . marriage re,
lation are becoming prevalent in some
parts of our land, so that its oblige,
tious aro disregarded by many, and
separations of husband and wife, and
divorces for slight and unwarrantable
reasons are becoming more frequent
every year • and, whereas, the horrible
crime of infanticide is on the increases
and, whereas, the evils which these er.;
rors and crimes have already brougbit
upon the church and country, and the
worse evils which they threaten in the
future make it imperative that the
whole power of the ministry and
church of Jesus Christ should be pat
forth in the maintenance of truth and
virtue in regard to these thingsrtherei
fore,
Resolved, That we urge upon all the
ministers of our church the duty, of
giving instructions to the peOple oP
their respective charges on the scrip'-
tural dootrines concerning the mar
riage relation, and that we warn them
against joining in wedlock any who
may have been divorced upon other
than scriptural grounds, and we also
exhort Church sessions to: the exercise
of due discipline in the cases of those
members who may be guilty of viola
ting the laws of Christ in this particq,
lar.
Resolved, That we regard the de
struction by parents of their own off
spring, before birth, as a crime against,
God and against nature, and that as
there are many influences at work in
public and in secret to corrupt thq
minds of the people, until the *elven:
cy of such murders is no longer sought
to be concealed, we hereby warn those
who are guilty of these crimes that
they cannot inherit eternal life, and
that it is vile hypocrisy for such
. per,
sons to remain in connection with the
visible church of Christ; and we'ex
bort those who have been called to
preach the gospel, and all those . vkrlio
love purity and the truth, and who
would arrest the just judgment of' the
Almighty God from the state and.na
tion, that they may be no longer silent
or tolerant of those things, bat take a
bold stand that the flood of impurity
and cruelty may be stayed.
Wait a moment, young man, before
you throw that money down on the
bar and demand a glass of brandy and
water. Ask yourself if twenty-fi.Ve
cents can be better invested in some ;
thing else. Put it back in your pock,
et, and give it to the poor. Take our
word for it, you will not be sorry,
Wait, mother. before you speak
harshly to the little chubby rogue who
has torn his apron and soiled his white
Marseilles jacket. He is only a child
"mother" is the sweetest word in the
world to him. Needle and thread and
soapsuds will repair all damages now
but if you once teach him to shrink
from his mother and hide away all his
childish faults, that damage cannot be
repaired.
Wait, husband, before yon wonder
audibly why your wife don't got along
with family cares and household, re
sponsibilities, "as your mother did:"—
She is doing her best—and no woman,
can bear that best to be slighted.- dte
member tho night she sat up with the
little babe that died; remember the
love and care she bestowed on you
when you had that, long spell:.ofill
ness! Do you think she is made of
cast iron ? Wait—wait in silence and
forbearance, and the light will porno
back to her eyes—the old light of the
old days.
Wait, wife, before - you speak
.re
proachfully to your husband when he
comes home late and weary and "out
of sorts." He has worked for yo 4 all
day long; he has wrested, hand iu
hand, with Care, Selfishness and fireed l
and all the demons that follow in the
train of money-making. Lot home be
another atmosphere entirely; lot him
feel that there is one place in the world
whore ho can find peace and quiet and
perfect love.
Wait, bright young girls, before you
arch your pretty elbows, and whisper
"old maid" as the quiet: figure steals
by, with silver in its hair and crow's
feet around the eyes. Tt is hard
enough to lose life's glAdness and'elas
ticity—it is hard enough to see youth
drifting away, without adding re flao
bitter cup one drop of scorn I Yon de
not know what she has endured; you
never can know until experience tea
ches you, so wait before you anoor at
art old maid.
IV. S. 55111.1.1
CHRISTIAN WOMANHOOD. Henry
Ward Beecheer, iq a recent BRFIROD,
discoursed thus in r•egar•d to the fair
sex :—"Maidens, look to the God of
your fathers. If there be - apy one in
this world who cannot afford riot to be
a Christian, it is a woman. .If there be
any one whose beauty fades as a flow:
er and whose grace needs the 806 7
nance of the ineffable; if there he'any
one whose power is in heauty, in.puri
ty, goodness, it is a woman. If there
be any one more than another • upon
whom blight falls more rudely; if
there be any ono more than anotlier t
who is more burdened • with Opt or
more wrung with sorrow,it is a woman.
I marvel to see a woman that is not a
Christian: The ladder between ''her
soul and God is not half so long as
that between our souls and God, God
made woman to he hotter than ,Than ;
and the perversion is in propdi:tion
when she is worse."
Ala' An old minister the other day
asked a woman whatcould induce her
husband to attend church. She re
plied : "Put a pipe and a jug of whisky
in the pew. That'll fetch him."
Wait Awhile,
