A Serious Blunder.
The British government has lately confes
sed that one newspaper in London is more
powerful thnn the cause and influence of lite
crown. Tbe London Times felt the ground
sinking beneath the blunders ot the lecher
ous aiistocratcs who conduct the govern
inept fot the Queen, and had tlio nerve to
say that the cry of the people for reform
suust be heard. It was the same kind of
thunder which in other days terrified the old
•" Iron Duke," and made hirn yield to the
demands for Calltolio emancipation and
again for Parliamentary Reform, when he
was placed at the head of the ministry to
bold the spirit of Democracy at bay. It was
the same kind of thunder as the voice oi
Macanley, when on a memorable midnight
he arose in his seat, while the infuriated
mob was roaring and swelling around Par
liament House like an angry sea ; and with
the Reform Bill in his hand, declared, in the
spirit of the s'orm king of the old table,
■ through Parliament, or over Pariiameut litis
bill must pass.
To punish the voice of truth on other oc
caxici.s the best blood of England has beon
excluded frum all official position. To sup
press truth how the rod has been used to
punish the Timer. But men like Ccbden
have done their work of good in spile of
persecution, and the voice of the Times and
the truth will now only be the louder. The
blow pi bigoted power will not any more
suppress the truth now, than it did when
torture comnellvd Galileo to say that the
earth did not revolve. The government of
the British ir.oapublcs has abolished the old
rtamp duty which heretofore gave lite Times
its powetiul monopoly. This will open
newspaper competition, aud already hun
dreds of new publications are announced
The incapables around lite Queen tolJ her
this would raise up a new power to break
down the limes, and so to aid the crown.—
But the result must be, that, whatever be
tide tbe Times, a million of British subjects
' will now only for lite first time read the story
of their suffering, and begin to think of hu
man rights and wrongs. A thousand pens
. can now for the first time write, and a thou
sand woes can now for the first cry out for
vengence. A spirit is loosened that can
never more be calmed, but wiil always tor
ment the wrongdoers. Reading is cheapen
ed, and in this lays a revolution.
It is perhaps well to be so, and we think
we see a providence in this dispensation of
man. The British government has loosened
fetters of mind that will never be bound
again; and lite country must now reiy on
the public mind for its support. It is the
greatest victory that the Democratic spirit ot
England has gained within (tie present ten
tury, or rather it is the security for all the
victories of the liberals.
It is such a movement as the Bourbons of
France made when they attempted to punish
the Biitish King by aiding lite United Stales
lo sustain their independence. Lafayette
and some other young nobleman were det
patched to punish King George, but these
very missionaries of Freedom brought hack
fiom America a spirit of republicanism thai
swept the Bourbons fotever from the throne
of France.
But the Times newspaper will not be
etushed. It has men in its offices witose
ntinds hold mors of statesmanship and politi
cal economy than all lite Btiti.h ministry.—
Its men of learning study and labor with a
passion, and because tbey love labor and
learning ; and not like Aberdeen and Rag
lan only from the lust for office. Its leaders
are men above the want of wealth or the se
ductions of ambition, becanse they fsei that
tkey have within tliemselvos that which is
above all wealth and all ambition.
Mark ihe prediction— the English mon
erchy has awakened a spirit that wiil con
quer it.
SCIENTIFIC LECTURES. — On last Saturday
and Monday evenings our townspeople wets
entertained and instructed by scientific lec
tures and experiments from Messrs. Swift
and Lake, upon electrical phenomena and
incidentally upon spiritual rapping. The
subject of supernatural rapping was fully ex
plained, and illustrated by reference lo in
stances of menial delusion and lialliioina
tion. Mr. Lake's exercises in table rapping
ought to satisfy every sound mind how ab
surd it is to go past the i.atural in the search
for the supernatural. The rapping was as
Well done us any spirits cou'd have mans
gedit, and to the audience generally was as
mysterious as if it had conte from the spirit
world. The lecturers gave pleasure, amuse
ment and instruction to large audiences;
and as gentlemen honestly arid intelligently
explaining Ihe laws o! mental and physical
science we commend their lectutes lo pub
lic encouragement.
OT A work thai was quite a feat was per

atreel, and also the removal in a like manner
of another frame building which had been
attached lo the other by Mr. Joseph Sharp
less, the present owner oi the lot. The build
ings were hauled off whole upon wagons; and
as the "Health Emporium "of the olden time
has now had its day, we hope .the skill of
the Messrs. Jones will be called into further
requisition to clear up Main Street and take
ODlofil old shells. This would certainly be
desirable 'f eac h lot owner would then im

Luckawtinnn County.
The bill to erpet a new county out of Lu
zerne was latoly referred to a Committee of
conference, as the two branches of lite legis
lature differed. But the Committee was in
like manner unable to agree and so trie bill
fell. Mr. Dunning titer, introduced a new
bill into the House which passed that branch
through all its readings on last Friday.
Important to Hcichants.
The new anti-license law will nflect mer
chants very materially. It will entirely pro
hibit the sales of liquor by any and all of
tliern after their present license expire until
the first of October neat, and then they Can
only obta ; n license from court at the coat of
thirty dollars. *
The proviso at the end of the fouttli sec
tion is conclusive upon the point that they
can not obtain license this spring from the
Coomy Treasurer. It was introduced in the
Senate. Merchants must therefore quit sell
ing liquor alter the first ol May. Beer and
ale houses are in the same fix, except that
they will not even bo able to obtain license
after the first of October under the new law.
Oyster cellars ami restaurants may be licensed I
tins spring as before, but cannot sell liquor
under any conditions.
Another View ol the case-
Tie Reading Gazette in speaking of the
new anti-hceuse law says:—
It appears to us, that the Earners of all the
anti liquor laws yet projected, have omitted
one important provision, and that is, the
punishment of the liquor drinkers as well as
the sellers. If it is a crime and sin—as mo
dern reformers would force the world to be
lieve—to sell liquor, on Sunday or any other
day, it is equally, if not more, a crime, to
diink it. Indeed, reasoning by analogy, the
latter act alono should be considered crimi
nal. Our laws do t.ol punish bint who sells ■
a pistol, a dagger, or a dose of poison, but
only the assassin who uses (hose weapons,
and the artful murderer who administers the
deadly potion. Suicide is a felony at com
mon law, only distinguished from other
felonies by the fact that ihe victim is beyond
the reach of punishment. But, liquor being
only a " slow poison"—as the teetotalers tell
us—lire suicides who go lo their deaths by
its means, mo witlriri reach of the law, for a
time, at least. led us have stringent laws to
punish rum drinking; ro d there will be
very little occasion lor Ac is to prohibit rum
aching.

How OUR BODIES ARE MADE DP. —Tho fol
lowing is a forcible illustration otlhe way we
supply the natural waste of the body;
Let it be remembered that, lo taka food, is
to mate man. Eatiig is the processby which
the noblest of terrnisial fabrics is constantly
repaired. All our limbs and organs have
been picked up from our plates. XXr'e Dave

upon himself, and in fact—paradoxical as it

A mixed Food Ntceasary-
If I only bond my arm, or move my fin
ger, there is a certain portion of thff tissues
destroyed which muat be supplied by my
food; the more work that a man performs,
the more of those nitrogenous substances
he requires. So far as supplying the waste
of the tissues, it is a matter of indifference
whether we give an animal food containing
gluten or albumen ; but it exercises a con
siderable influence on the character of the
animal. Take, for example, a hunt, at
which we have an omnivorous animal, man,
riding on a graminivorous animal, a horse,
accompanied by a carnivorous animal, a
Uog, following an herbivorous animal, a
hare. Even the character of nations is very
materially affucted indeed by their food.—
The other class of food serves a very im
portant, but totally different purpose—name
ly, that of supplying animal heat. The tem
perature of our bodies is, in temperate cli
mates at least, higher than the surrounding
air. Now, in order to keep up this tempera
ture, a combustion goes on similar to that of
an ordinary fire. The same products—car
bonic ac.'d, water and utnmoria—are evolved
from the mouth of the furnace of the body
and the mouth of common chimney. In
cold weather, a certain portion of beat is
gradually abstracted frcrn our body, which
must be supplied by the combustion of our
food or of the matter of our bodies ; the col
lier the climato, therefore, the more hcal
giviug materials must be supplied in the
food.— Professor Lyon Ploy/air.
