The speech recently uttered by Prince
Ii sroLsoll in the Corps Legislatif of
Prance has resounded throughout the
civilized world, thrilling and reassuring
the friends of representative government
everywhere. Yet he gave utterance to
no opinion or sentiment of superior sig

duty of, every good citizen requires him
to take an interest in politics; indifference
in such matters being dangerous to the
country."

They cast off and contemn the responsi

A _Remarkable- spring in Meagan.
The Lansing (Lich.) _Republican says
that in attempting to bore a sal t
t w ell a
ell at
St. Louis, Gratott county, in tha,
the
spring of fresh water was tapped, at
depth of a little more than two hundred
feet, which throws out water at the rate of
two hundred gallons per minute. This
water is thrown some distance above the
ground; and the first thought of the peo
ple of that village was, that if they had
failed in obtaining a salt well, they had
secured the means of providing pure , soft,
cold water for all. The diseovery of
its healing qualities was the result of
accident. - Three traveling agents went
down to the spring, and finding
the water Old, it was proposed
that each should hold his n
h of physical
and in the
water, to test the questio
endurance. One of the party had long
suffered from rheumatism, and had been
unable to open his hand lot many years.
This hand was placed in the water, and
a \ when compelled, after some moments, to
le i withdraw it, he was able to straighten his
?.r fingers, and he exclaimed: "My Godl I
is I can open my hand, and have not done it
g before for ten years." This marvelous
is healing caused great excitement among
the inhabitants, and further experiments
1- ' proved that the water
was nife blades filled with
to electricity or galvanism. K

ie became sufficiently magnetized in five
7,_ minutes to lift a tenpenny nail and retain
the power as if imparted from a loadstone.
to
The news of its medical properties
ol spread far and wide, and those suffering
1 1 from chronic rheumatism and neuralgic
I diseases came to drink and found restored
health from the waters. The analysis of
Professor Duffield, of Detroit, provedthe
truth of the assertion that the wrovisi o aters we

tients and the furnishing of baths, and
St. Louis is reaping a golden harvest.
The village is constantly filled with
patients, and the cures are almost as re
markable as those performed in days of
when the
old at the Pool of Bethesda,
angel stirred the waters.
A few days since 'Messrs. Christit.aL-n and
Patterson, of Lansing, went to Suis
to try the virtue of the waters, and were
greatly benefitted. An old man who had
-been unable, from rheumatism. to walk
for more than three years, hobbling about
as best he could with crutches, his feet
especially being in a terrible condition,
he took two baths and drank freely of
the water, repeating the same on the day
following, and on the third morning hwithoute
walked ten rods and back
crutches, almost entirely healed in two
day's time.
d Christian have
Messrs. Patterson an
ben hemeans of making another dis-
coverye t
in m relation to these waters, which
will excite a profound sensation through
out the State and country, The water
had been conducted through a six-inch tin
pipe from the mouth of the spring. For
-some purpose, a portion of the mouth of
this pipe had been cut off and allowed to
drop upon the ground, where it was coner
stantly kept wet by the flowing want.
Upon the surface of this tin had accumu
lated a galvanic coat of metal resembling
burnished gold.
Mr. Patterson, who discovered it, pro
posed to bring the entire piece to Lansing,
but was told that others mightlike apiece
as a curiosity; and a couple of pieces,
each about three inches square. were
brought to this city, one of which is in
our possession. An examination shows
thatthe coating is as finely placed upon
the tin as if done by the best
galvanicprocess. and a test of acids made by Prof.
Crane, of the Lansing Museum, proves
the metal to be -chloride of gold. The
water holds this valuable metal in solu
tion, and it may turn out that the spring
is not less valuable as a source of wealth
to the owners than it is conducive to the
health of those afficted with rheumatism,
parnlysie, gout, sciatica, dyspepsia and
neuralgia. The test of the strongest
