Professor Pepper's new optical le. tores vt the Govdon Polytechnic Insti. titton are well Clculated to puzzlo the scurious and crento a large amount of wonder4oit, The lectures are entitled "af Ftru~ %iLl Sir David Brewster." At. each lewji e the Profesoriritroduc somb,gr t1eis1scovories of 40at, diitn. tiiihed philosopher, inclding thit 1nownl as ilhe "khleidoseope." Ali iti. teresting history of the tatter invtItion is givet, and its really beautifill Offects t.hown. But the most surprising and wondqr creating features o Protessor Pepper s now lectuies'are what lie Itas named Fairy t. n mntro uainir the f6rmer, the Profesior calls npon the ae dience to call to ind atcient Greece. The curtain rises, ard the interior of a Grecian tonple is disclosed. Drapery in the back.ground is pushe4 one side, aiid a figure, classically eaitned, and rending intent.ly a se.roll which i.holds in one hand, advances. The professor explains that the figure must be suppos. ed to represent a noble Athenips, eru dite and highly gifted. Through an ne. qut1aiitanceshipl which ie had formed ,with one of the priests of Usis, the learn. ed individual gets posession of a sacred scroll, which informs him that, by means of certain tcharms and incantations, he can hold converse with the dead. ie proceeds to do so at once; and, after. somle formalities, lie calls upon Socrates. Slowly the curtain, through which the Athenian before appeared, is drawn aside, and a head, appareitly floating in the air, is disclosed. There seems to be no mistAke bont the head being hu mn I01s appa rnl, Socrates, and seemiqfgly "all , alive. Gradually.tie' eyes open and look about most liattjrally. and in iihedience' to the demand oft Athenian the voice of Sivrtes is heard. pronouncing his own ion of the decision of his judges.

He has now(omm1enced a series of lectures on the views of polyganiv. On the occaRion V, these lectitres the hall is crowded bot1with Mormons and "Gentiles." Every bsorver canl easily understand now tlt tihe power of the Mormon hierarch a passed its zenithf, and is now .lowlv :lt surely declinlng. The dark prinqiples upon which is built the foundation _of Mormon religion are fast melting away 4n the light of truth, as knowledge and (tivilization advances' in Utah. Tihe bliu deluded victims of the One-Man Pow- are having their eyes opened now to the deception their leaders iiivO practic d uponl them, and one y one the fair at and most intelli got of .heir da'igh rs have abandoned the churnh of Li Day Saints and come over to the PGentile" party.

The se cret atrocities perpetratedI here in the dayi wh,-n the "Gentiles" had scare ly.set. foot. tipoi this soil, havo not yet reached the p'iblic ear in the State. but I hear the GAernnient is now turn ing its attention to the afiirs of Utah. Th.o States inve a more enlightened comprehension of the peculiar institu tion Wf Utah, and in the downfall of Marmotism, its crash will be heard and hailed by those who have anxiously awaited its death struggles beyond the pale of those Western hills.

A correspondent writing from Charleston harbor, gives the following animated des oription of that famous locality : In the con:re, in tn!d cannal, like a grim sentinel stands Fort Sumter, bowed, broken, and desolate. A shapeless pile of earth and sand, and brick, it bears no likeness to Its formea self. Where the new cross of the Confederacy and the palmetto fag of General Ripley were so proudly flying in April and July of eighteen hundred and sixty-three. only one single banner, and that the red white and blue, now waves. Scarred and cracked, its walls seem rea dy to fall. The face towards Cummng's point is crushed and broken into a steep hill of mingled sand and brick, and olsot and shell. Tile face towards Fort Moultrie by a solid work of interwoven palmetto logx. Yet the structure of the fort is scarred and cracked nad broken, above and around, and behind these additional defences. The ense males, closed and covered by immenie framework of heavy beams, and this again thick with earth, can be entered only by winding passages, damp and dripping with, moisture. The casemates entered, it would hardly seen possible that hunman being could have lived any length of time within them. The guns were slimy and mouldy, and the carriages- were sweating w1kh a slity moisture. Climbing out of the stono port hole and through the more widely extending one in the palmetto logs, you could look down around the base of the fort, where the cesa less tide had woven over each of the stones a matile like thick, green, wet floss, and see fragments of shell and broken bolto. You could look to the rightand see where the wall had crumbled and fallen into the sea. You could look above and see the logs rent and gashed, and the brick wall with great scars and ragged cracks, And wide seams, as though a little more of the storm of iron shot woul.- have beat it down beneath thle atrface of the sea. You would look to the left and see ihe closd ports. the rough re pairing, the unbroken parapet. In the interior the sandy earth was sup ported in it" irregularity by numberless fascines and gablons, and dotted here And there by dark holes which admitted us into Ihe dampeave'rns. What had been theparade was now green and slimy with the tagnant. m vsu eru which was sciattersApice hoops, a few feayed barrel slaves, iron atid leaden shot seattered from sobrnpnel, and lits of soiled clothing and broken hayo nets. From the tsll flag staff in the centre, a small Union banner was waving. And this wits nil that remained of Fort Sumter. Rxtmnti Pon Dvsirvst.-T1all's Jotirnal of I lealth snys : There are some general principles of cure applicable to all, and which will sAdom fail of high advaningo, 1. ite entt body should be washed once a week with soap, hot water and a stilf brtsh. 2. Wear woolen next the skin the year round, during tht day time onlv. 3. By means of ripe frulit uaid bor'ries, gontse bread and other coarse food, keep the bowels acting freely once in twenty. our lonrs. 41 Under all circumstances, keep the leet always clean, (ry and warm. 5. It. is most indispensablo to have the fullest plenty of sound, regular, con. necied and refreshing sleep. in a clean, i@t, well aired chamber, witLh windows facing the sun. C Spend two or three hours of every forenoun, and one or two of every after. noon, rain or ithine. in the opea air, in some form of interesting. exhiliraiig and unwearying exercise. Walking witlh a cheerful and entertutning com panion is the very best. 7. Hat at regular times, and alwnys slowly. 8. That food is best for each which is most relished, and ia followed by the least discomfort, What has bene'fitted or injured one is no rule 'for another. This eighath item of universal applica. tion. 9. Take but a teaeupful of any kiad of drink at one meal, and le.t that be hot. 10.
