Hon. H. F. Prentiss, who (lied a few (lajsajjo in Bangor, Maine, was educa ted at West Point, and when a professor there was ordered to his reginent, at Mobile, lie walked the entire distance, carrying a law-book, which he studied by the way. Two years later (in 1835) lie resigned and walked the entire dis tance to Bangor, reading law as before. In 1837 he was admitted to the bar and opened an office in Oldham, working hard, frequently walking to Bangor, twelve miles, in the morning to attend Court, and returning in the same man ner at night. lie once walked from Bangor to Paris, Me., in a day and a half, but his greatest day's walk was eighty miles in twenty six hours. The Daily Graphic can afford to be excessively generous in offering jieople free passes for a trip to Europe in its balloon, for nobody has yet been found who can possibly "get away." Dana, Butler, James Parton, Whitelaw Iteid, McClellan and Eli Perkins all decline with thanks. Some of them say they would be happy to go but "professional engagements make it impossible." Rob ert Collyer hits the bull's-eye, as usual, by frankly stating that he has got to preach at home all summer, but would be affraid to go anyhow. That is what they all meant, but they couldn't say it in so few words. Uisgnsted.—The Liberal Christian , in an article on the Massachusetts govern ment, probably from the pen of Dr. Bel lows, says: "If Massachusetts does not spew General Butler out of her mouth she will please, in future, to take a seat very far back in our court of .State hon or. We account him the most danger ous man in America, with the fewest scruples and the most diabolical ability; and he, forsooth, is in fair prospect of Incoming Governor of our hitherto no ble Bay State!" A Nevada paper relates how a couple of home-made servants were discussing the cause of the saline character of the water in the Great Salt Lake. Said one, "Well, it's my opinion that there's an underground connection with the Pa cific ocean, and it's filled with water from the Pacific." "But," said the other, "Salt Lake is seven thousand feet higher than the ocean; what do you think of that?" "Think of it! why, I think it bursts my theory all to thunder." If Victor Hugo isdying France isabout to lose one of her most famous children. The sturdy egotist is a man of genius, and it will always be remembered, to his credit, that he was one of the few inde pendent spirits who never forgot Louis Napoleon's perfidy, and never made peace with him. We trust he has al ready composed his own epitaph, for no other pen than his could pay a fitting tribute to his eccentric genius. Kubi'iisleiu, the pianist, does not like Jit eciier tries to bring religion down to tlx* people, instead of bringing the peo ple to religion." Supposing a man was overboard, what would Mr. Rubenstein do —throw a rope to the person in peril, or call upon him to come after the roirts, as a fact of encouraging interest, that of the fifty thousand clergymen of the Church of England as many as four thousand actually abstain from the use of spirits.

The PopulariScience Monthly has been started to promote this object and supplies a want met by no other periodical In the United States. It contains instructive and attractive articles, and abstracts of articles, original, selected ami il lustrated, from the leading scientific men of dif ferent countries, giving the latest Interpretations of natural phenomena, explaining the applica- I tlons of science to the practical arts ami to the j operations of domestic life. It is designed to give especial prominence to those branches of science which help to a better understanding of the nature of man; to present the claims of scientific education; ami the iear • ing> of science upon questions of society and gov ernment. How the various subjects of current • , opinion are affected by the advance of scientific Inquiry will also t>e considered. In its literary character this periodical aims to be popular without being superficial ami appeals to tiie intelligent reading classes of the communi ty. It seeks to procure authentic statements from men who know their subjects ami who will address the non-scientiilc public for purposes of exposition and explanation. , It will have contributions from Herbert Spen ! cer.

WISH ART'S PINE TREE ; Tar Cordial, II I 5 i NATURE'S GREAT REMEDY FOR THE Throat arid Lungs. It Is gratifying to us to inform the public that Dr. L. Q. C. Wlshart's Pine Tree Tar Cordial, for Throat and Lung diseases, has gained an enviable reputation from the Atlantic to the Pa cific coast, and from thence to some of the first families of Europe, not through the press alone, but bv persons throughout the States actnaliy ben efitted and cored at bis office. While he publishes less, so say our reporters, he is unable to supply the demand. It gains and holds its reputation— ! First: Not by stopping cough, but by loosening ) and assisting nature to throw off the unhealthy matter collected about the throat and bronchial tubes, which causes irritation. Second: It removes the cause of irritation, (which produces cough), of the mucous membrane and bronchial tubes, assists the lungs to act and throw off the unhealthy secretions, and purifies the blood. Third: It is free from squills, lobelia, Ipecac and opium, of which most throat and lung remedies are eomposed, which allay cough only, and disor- ; ganize the stomach. It has a soothing effect on the stomach, acts on the liver and kidneys, and lymphatic anil nervous regions, thus reaching to every part of the system, and in its invigorating and purifying effects it has gained a reputation which It must hold above all others In the market.
