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.

THE XEW YORK
TRIBUNE
I'Uli 1880.
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. Increasing patronage and
facilities enable us to reduce the rates to the lowest
point we have ever touched, and to oiler the most
.mazing premiums yet given, as follows;
