How Loug Animals Live. The average ago of cats is fifteen years; of squirrels ami hares seven to eight years; rabbits, seven : a bear rarely ex ceeds twenty years; a dog lives twenty years, a wolf, twenty, a fox fourteen to sixteen: lions are long-lived, the one known by the name of pornpey living to the age of seventy. Elephants have been known to live to the great age of four hundred years. When Alexander the Great had conquered Porus, King oflndia. th : took a great elephant which had fought valiantly for the king, and named him Ajax, dedicating him to the sun. and let him go with this inscription; "Alexander s >n of Jupiter, dedicated Ajax to the sun * the elephant was found with this inscrip tion 340 years after. Pigs have been known to live to the age of twenty, and the rhinoceros to twenty-nine; a horse has been known to live to the age of sixty two, but averages twenty-live to thirty; camels sometimes live to the age of one hundred; stags are very long livers; slice]) seldom exceed the age of ten; cows live about liftccu years. Cuvier consid ers it probable that whales sometime s live one thousand years. The dolphin and porpoise attain the age of thirty ; an eagle died at Vienna at the age of 103; ravens frequently reach the age of 100: swans have been to live 300 yeais. Mr. Malerton lias the skeleton of a swan that attainea the age of 300 years; Pelicans are longlived. A tortoise has been known live to the age of 107 years. A New Race. A remarkable race is destined to inhab it and control this continent during the next century. It will be like nothing the world has ever seen, for no such condi tion of things lias happened before. Crossing the human breed is notoriously one of the means of strengthening it. Fancy the varieties of blood which will mingle in the veins of the American in 11)73. liy that time the people will have become homogenous. All Europi a i na tionalities living here wiil have lost their distiuctivcn iss and been merged in t > the new type of American. O.irsuces sors will h ;ve inherite I the energies of he Englishman, the enthusiasm of the I ashman, the shrewdness of the Scotch man, the thoroughness of the German the Italian's delicate appreciation of the ie'Jietic, the Scandinavian's love of the moral, and the original Yankee's idom'.tu ble pluck and go-ahead-ativencss. With all these qualities c mceatvat :d in ore human engine, what an engine it will be! The people of the c lie to European coun tries will be but pipitdcs in comparison. In the gathering of the races on these shores, and the commingling of the hloon of all, we may see the hand of Providence moulding and fitting Americans for a great purpose in the work of the ages. Here is an old German receipt for Hap piness: "Wouldst thou lie happy for: n day, get shaved; for a week, go to a wedding ; six months build a lino house for thyself: for a whole yvar, marry a beautiful young woman; for two years, inherit a tick uncle; but if thou wouldst be happy for all thy life —be temperate " A light-house has two objects: To give light ; to save life. Every christian is, or ought to be, a liglit-lnmse. A feebie light in the pulpit is more out of place than in the pew. It is not posi tioii but character that gives light. There is frequently more love iu a frown than there could be In a smile: "Asmany as I love, 1 rebuke and chasten." If we are at peace with God and our own conscience, what enemy among men need we fear? If men will hold fast to these truths, — ni in a sinner and Christ a Savior—they will come to other truths that belong to these. The Church has creed enough and or thodoxy enough; what she wants isto fill up the measure of her creed with a clear, clean, Christlike life. p[* RET SAWING.

I urinc the coming Presidential year The Tribune will be a more etieetive agency than ever for tolling the.* news h.st worth knowing, and for enforcing sound politics. From the day the war cJos< dit has been most anxious lbr an c nd of sectional strife. Hut it saw two years ago, and was the lh>t persist, ently to Proclaim the new danger to the country from the revived alliance of the Solid South and rally the "old party of Freedom and the Union. It began by demanding the abandonment of personal dislikes, and set the example. It called for an end to attacks upon each (other itn.teul. of the enemy ; and for the heartiest agreement upon wliatevre candidates the majority should put up against the common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has been turned back; every doubtful state has been won, and the omens for National victory were never more cheering. THE Tit I HUNK'S POSITION. Of The Tribune's share in all this, those speak n>o.--t enthusiastically who have seen most of the struggle. It will laithfully portray the earning phases of the campaign now beginning, it will earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union and Public Faith may select the man surest to win, and surest to make a good President. But in this crisis it can conceive of no nomination this party could make that would not be preferable to the best that could possibly be supported by the Bolid Bottlh and Tammany Hall. Tito Tribune is now spending much labo and money than ever before to hold the distinction it lias enjoyed of the largest circulation among the best jiiopje. It secured, and mentis to retain it by la coming the medium of the host thought and the voice of the best conscience of the time, by keeping abreast of the highest progress, favoring the freees discussions, hearing all sides, appealing always to the best intelligence and the purest morality, and re fusing to carter to the tastes of the vile or the preju diet s of the ignorant. SPECIAL FEATURES. The distinctive features of The Tribune are known to everybody, it gives all the news, it has the best correspondents, and retains them from year to year, If is the onlv paper that maintains a special telegraphic wire of its own between its oilier and Washington. Its scientific, literary, artistic and re ligious intelligence is tVie fullest. Its book reviews are the best. Its commercial and financial ne*"s is the most exact Its type is the largest; and Its ar rangement the most systematic. THE PEM I-WEEKLY Till BUN is by far the most successful Semi-Weekly in the country, having four times the circulation of any other in New York, it is especially adapted to the large class of intelligent, prof, ssional or business readers too far from New York to depend on otir papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want the editorials, correspondence, book icvicw s, scien. titic matter, lectures, literary miscellaney, etc,, for which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly it contains sixteen pages, and is in euttvt uiont form for binding, TIIE WEEKLY TRIBUNE remains the great favorite of our substantial country population, and lias the largest circulation of any Weekly issued from the otliec of a Daily paper in New York, or, so far as we know, in the United States. It revises and condenses all the news of the week into more readable shape. Its agricultural tie partite nt is more cart fully conducted than ever, and it htm always been considered the bc*t. its market reports are the oliiciul standard for the Dairymen's Association, and have long been recognized author ity on cattle, grain and general country produce. There are special departments for the young and lbr lieusoltold interests; the new handiwork department already extremely popular, gives unusually accurate and comprehensive instructions in knitting, crochet ing, and kirulrid subjects; while poetry, liction and the humors of the day are ail abundantly supplied, i'lie verdict of the ten-, of thousand old readers who have returned to it during the past year is that they tin.i it better than ever.
