What is Chemistry T .If we open a dictionary, an encyclope? dia, or a school book, we shall find a defi? nition of chemistry, tracing the word back to the Arabs and utterly confounding us -with the profound knowledge of the learn? ed pandits who have endeavored to en? lighten the world on the subject. Some? how, after reading all their wisdom, we are about as much in the dark as we were before. We therefore propose to let the Arabs alone this time, and also to say nothing about Albertus Magnus, Paracel? sus,, and the rest of them, but to speak of chemistry as it appears to us in this year of graco 1870. It is a very different .science from what it was fifty years ago ; 1 it is not the same thing it was ten years ago; and, if it keeps on growing at the same rate for the next fifty years, it ap? pears destined to absorb a host of other sciences and to become master of the sit? uation. The popular notion is that crea? ting a few unsavory smells, producing loud explosions, effecting marvellous changes in color, and amusing small children, is what we call chemistry. Hence in the minds of such people it is unworthy a place in a school of public instruction. It is about time that more correct information on the subject should be promulgated, and on | this account we have selected it as a text j for a few editorial remarks. We used to say that it was the business I of the chemist to investigate everything ander the sun; but this statement no longer holds good, as the sun itself and all of the heavenly bodies, have been f brought down to earth by means of the spectroscope and are made objects of study | in the chemical laboratory.. 1 We must now amend the> saying by stating that every thing in the universe is a fair object for the study of the chemist. This would appear to afford ample occu? pation for tho most ambitious person, and it would seem at first glance to be a hope? less task. It is not, however so difficult as it appear? upon first presentation. The number of compounds in tho world is large, but the number of simple elements, composing them is small. There are a groat many words in our language, but these are made up of twenty-five lctten. If we are instructed how to handle these letters we know how to spoil, and as soon as we can spell we try to attach the words together to make sentences, and if we are skillful in forming sentences we may write a bock. Tbe world, to the chemist, is a big book made op of sentences and words written in sixty-five characters which he calls olemcnts. As soon as we are ablo to re? cognize these characters on all occasions, wo can read tho work of nature and un? derstand it. Wo shall find that certain elements are rarely used?that, in fact the number of letters in nature's alphabet is not greater than we constantly employ in ours. This view of the case materially I lessens our task, and we can go courage? ously to work to study the composition of tbe globe. W hat is, therefore, chemistry ? It is the science of forces that act at insensible distances between the atoms of different kinds of matter. All of the forces of chemistry act in contact and tho result is a new body. In physics tho for? ces operate at great distances, often with? out any permanent change in tho body act?d upon. For instance, a current of electricity around a piece of soft iron con? verts that iron into a magnet; but tho iron weighs no more, nor is it any longer or broader than before; and as soon as the electricity ceases to pass, tho iron is no longer a magnet. This is called a physical operation, but if the same bar of iron be heated in contact with sulphur, it unites with sulphur and produces a bo? dy very different from cither of its con? stituents, this is called chemical action. The ohemist studies contact forces. Ho splits op everything into its elements, and then observes the behavior of these ele? ments when they are brought in contact with each other. By exchanging one ele? ment for ano'.her, a now and different compound is formed, just as moving let? ters about will give us different words and sentences. It is only by experiment that wo can derive any knowledge of tke kind of com? pound tho bringing together of elements will produce, and hence chemistry is an experimental science. Tho more wo study the behavior of elementary bodies, the more we ate struck with the fact that Bearly all of the phenomena of nature eun be- traced to chemical forces. When ato?n? are brought in contact we always have heat, frequently light, and probably generally electricity, and thus tho forces we call phj'sical really belong to chemis? try. This is what we meant when we said thatchemistty was destined to absorb many other sciences. It is a common habit to speak of mathe? matics as an exact science, or to intimate that chemistry has no claims to a smilar honor, but recent investigations have gone far to place chemistry among the exact sciences. Tho forces acting in it are well understood, tho results are con? stant, tho laws capable of precise state? ment?and of late years higher mathe? matics have boon made to play a conspicu? ous part in chemical investigations. Tho faculties of tho mind are admirably train? ed by science that requires tho closest ob? servation, quick perception, accurate reasoning, and sound judgment. These faculties were less cultivated by the an? cients, and henco the small number of discoveries made by them. As tho laws of chemistry become bettor known, we are enabled to explain many geological phenomena and to understand tbe constitution of minerals. .Medicine and phj'siology and all tho laws of life are better interpreted since chemistry has takon a part in Ibeir stud}7. It is some what remarkablo that a science which af? fords us nearly all the comforts we enjoy in our households, that has given us our glass, our paper, our food, our wealth and, in fact, our civilization, should plajr such a small part in tho instruction in our schools. But notwithstanding the disad? vantage of such neglect, it makes a path for itself by its importance to the prog? ress of society. The remark is often made that the child of the present age is the same as the child of two thousand years ago; and those who assert it mean that tho school-boy now-a-days must be? gin as low down in tho scalo of knowledge as the Roman lad of tho Augustan age. There is great fallacy in sneh a state? ment. When we meet a boy of the pres? ent time wending his way to school, with his books strapped into a bundle, if wo stop him and examine his pack, wo shall find in the most elementary treaties he carries, scientific information that was only knownto the most learned philoso? phers among the Greeks or Romans. What was then acquired as tho highest degree of knowledge, is now in every school-book, arid thus our boys begin where Plato and Aristotle loft off, and Pliny is only quoted for the droll mistakes he makesin his natural history. The new rector of tho University of Vienna re? cently called attention, in an address, to the backwardness of the ancients in the sciences. This backwardness he ascribes, firstly, to an actual want of the power of accurate observation ; and, secondly, to a restless spirit of speculation. He illus? trates his remarks by referring to the ob? servations of tho ancients on tho stars. The highest number recorded by them as visible to the naked eye was 1,600, where? as our school-boys can easily point out 3,000; and there is the same extraordi? nary discrepancy in the enumeration of the nebula?, and tho number of stars in the constellations. It is an interesting question how far we inherit a schooled eye from ancestors trained in the observation of external ob? jects, and how early science may bo taught to children. A writer in Natwe takes the ground that it is proper to begin at 8 or 9 years. On this point he speaks as follows: "An ordinar ily intelligent boy or girl of 8 or 9 years is perfectly capablo of under? standing the broad differences between the animal, vegetable, and mineral king? doms; that there are moro gases than one in tho world; that some of them are col? orless, while others are brown or green ; that some burn, and others do not; that some plants grow from the insido, while others grow from the outside; that some animals have jointed back bones, that others havo their bones outside their bodies, whilq others havo none at all. Facts such as those are perfectly compre? hensible to children even younger than those I have named. During tho first two years of a child's school life, after he has learned to road and write, he should be carried through tho whole range of physical science in a systematic manner. The fundamental truths of chemistry-and physics should be first taught him ; all theoretical considerations boing left aside. As few definitions as possiblo should be given; the whole task of the teacher at the commencement being to cultivate the child's powers of observation to the ut? most. Gradually the powers of induction and deduction may bo developed ; facts and phenomena should bo compared, and conclusions drawn from them. There is nothing a rhild likes so much as an inves? tigation, or 'finding out all about things,' as he himself would phrase it. Tho boy in tho nursery rhyme, who cut the bel? lows open to see where tho wind came from, is a type of his class." More mistakes are made by inventors, mechanics,and practical men, from want of a knowledge of tho elementary princi? ples of chemistry and physics, which ought to have been taught them in childhood, than from ignorance of the higher princi? ples of science. Chemistry is rcaliy a very easy and simple study. It only requires that tho pupil shall have eyes and use them ?and where a boy can see and won't sec, he ought to be mado to see. It is a great mistake to try to commit to memory the names of everything in creation; the true plan is, to acquire a knowledge of the principles on which the combinations are founded, and let details take care of themselves; and the time to acquire this knowledge is in childhood, when the memory is fresh and the intel? lect quick to grasp information, and the eye readily observes what is passing in the world around us. Chemistry is at tho foundation of our prosperity; let us havo moro of it taught in our schools.?Scientific American. Southern Agricultural Maxims.? Cotton is King; the world seeketh for his power.; his sway is unlimited, and his locks are fine gold. Plant cotton anti buy bread. Look to the merchant for advances and mortgage independence, but increase cot? ton. The refuse hay of tho Yankee farmer is sweeter to the tooth of tho cotton plan? ter's mule than succulent fodder, and Western flint corn conlaineth moro nutri? ment than Southern gourdseed. It is better to handle much money than to make suro gains, and a harrowing debt to be preferred to a suro surplus. Look abroad for meat; but at homo brave, knawing usury. Starve tho cattle upon a thousand hills, but bny guano. Groat is ho who buyoth meat and bread and many oxen and asses, but cheapeneth garments for tho world; hoextondeth his labors; ho sendeth abroad for woodware and utensils and fiold implements; he handleth much money and giveth tho stranger tho profit thoreof; but ho is ac? counted great, and tho trading man makcth obeisance to him; but tho con? tentment of him who owcth no debt bringetli no fame among thorn that go to and fro over the face of tho earth.? Chron? icle (& Sentinel. ? An advertisement of "a small sow? ing machine," for ono dollar, was answer? ed by a young man in the rural distriots, who received in return for his dollar a shoemaker's awl, worth about fifteen cents. ? "Only givo us our bread and occa? sionally forgive us our debts," says a New Orleans editor, "and we are satisfied." A Matrimonial Monomaniac.?It has been said that tbe chief end of woman is to get married, and there is some evidence to substantiate the truth of the remark. Many and varied are the devices employed to achieve the aim. The majority of the women, bound and fettered as they are by the customs and usages of society, wait until an eligible party offers, but occasion? ally some females can't wait, and overstep the limits laid down by society, and cre? ate a sensation. A day or two since, a rather good-looking, well-dressed female, about 22 or 23 years of age, with flowing hair of a decidedly auburn hue, entered the office of a staid, well-to-do physician, and in a very modest and ladylike man? ner requested a private interview. Such requests being a matter of every-day oc? currence with physicians, the request was at once granted. No sooner were they alone than .the lady, without any circum? locution, informed him that she was bound to get married, and as two were necessary to bargains of that kind, she had selected him to assist her in accomplishing her ob? ject. " Biz was biz." She was ready, and there was no necessity for delay. She was bound to get married, and at once. The worthy doctor was taken aback by the proposition, and not being prepared to take such a large share of matrimonial happiness on such short notice, attempted to evade a direct answer; but the anxious female was not to be put off in that way, and he only escaped the halter by inform? ing her that he had married only a few days ago. This at once satisfied her as to him, but she still wanted to be married. Further conversation convinced the doc? tor that she was a monomaniac upon the subject of marriage. Finding the doctor was not eligible, she left the office and called on several of the neighboring phy? sicians, in each instance proposing matri? mony. She also called on several lawyers and merchants, but failed to find any one willing to accept her offer. She is mod? est and ladylike in all her actions and conversation, and only upon the subject of matrimony does her insanity?for she is evidently insane upon that subject?be? tray itself. She is said to be very respec? tably connected, and until recently has exhibited no signs of mental disorder.? Louisville Courier. Tue Last .Chapter.?The culminating crime of a. series took place in the north? eastern part of Louisiana, on the 15th in? stant. Twenty years ago a lady of Natch? ez, sojourning at General St. John Lid dell's house, in Catahoula Parish, took of? fence at some personal remark attributed to a neighbor, Coionel Jones. Liddell went with his guest to the house of Jones to demand an explanation, and then and there the lady drew a pistol and shot Jones in the face and body. Jones,-long recovering from these severe wounds, con? sidered Liddell responsible for bringing the gun powder woman to his gate. Any I number of assaults and duels were threat? ened, and plenty of fight between Jones and Liddell resulted. Their mansions be ! came fortresses, their plantations military posts; they went about armed to the teeth, and the feud shook the county with alarms. On one occasion a shooting par I ty was to have been made up to utteily wipe out Liddell's friends, but the leader of the party, while on the war path col? lecting recruits, riding past the Liddell plantation, was shot dead in his gig. Men with such stomachs for a fray found favor in the Confederacy, and General Liddell, having learned experience in private for? tification, commanded the desperate de? fence of a fort near Mobile. When the larger war was finished, the neighborly strife began again, and a certain John Dixon, Jr., somehow involved in it, was not long ago killed in a clnb-i oom. The latest murder of the series took place on the steam boat St. Mary's, on the Black river. General St. John Liddell, having come on board from his own plantation, was eating dinner when the boat passed the Jones's locatiou. There Col. Charles Jones and his two sons came on board, and, as the Captain of the St. Mary's neatlv phrases it, " did the killing." It only remains that Colonel Jones and his sons should be hung. The conditions of society which encouraged the vendetta have departed, and, when all who engage in it are also gone, the rest of the world will experience relief. -o-. j A Warning to Bridegrooms.?A heart? rending calamity recently befell a bride? groom which grew out of nothing less than a bit of playfulness on his part du? ring the tour the sufferer was making with his charmer. Having occasion to ; leave the dear creature, he inadvertently forgot to go through the triflling formali? ty of kissing her good by. This the high spirited and romantic bride construed into a deadly insult, a deliberate slight; and no sooner was her new lord out of the house than she sold out everything and sought revenge and consolation in an ap? plication for a divorce! The horror stricken groom upon learning this sought an interview?explaiued that there was nothing " personal ' in his not kissing her good-by?no offense intended?and they were once more locked in eaeh other's arms in paroxysm of mutual forgiveness and vows of eternal devotion. Need the breathless reader be told that this "ro? mance in high life " occurred in Cincin? nati ? ?-o Vermin on Cattle.?A simple and ef? fective remedy for vermin on cattle: Iiuh their hidos well with an ointment made of cayenne pepper, or Scotch snuff mixed with hog's lard. Anybody can make it. Any kind of oil or soft grcaso mixed with Scotch snuff and well rubbed in will effoct a cure, but to mako suro work it is best to do it two or threo times at intervals of somo days, say a week be? tween, so as to destroy any that may be hatohod from oggs not destroyed by tho first application. Calves during their first wintor are very apt to suffer from lico, and if not atten? ded to will cortainly suffer and come out miserably in the spring. All cattle in fact should bo closely watched for thoso vermin, or before tho ownor is awaro of it thoy may go through tho wholo hord. But tho cattle that aro most subject to lico aro thoso that aro poor in flesh from bad keoping, ao that nature is unable to cast off tho old coat, leaving an extra protection for lico. .-4? ? To cure smoky chimneys?Discon? tinue fires. Candy for Children.?You know that tho stomach of a child is very delicate, very sensitive?quite as much so as the eye; it will bear milk, and so will the eye; but if you add to the milk pepper, the eye becomes red, and so does the stomach. Cold water is grateful to the eye, to re? lieve this inflammation, and there is the samo demand for water to quench the in extinguisbablo flame. In such a stomach healthy digestion ceases; the appetite fails; the blood becomes poor and watery, and tho tissues are all impoverished. It is not tho sugar that does tho harm, for pure sugar is healthy; it forms part of the milk of the infant, and enters largely into some of our best vegetables. It is the sugar mixed with various other arti? cles, often poisonous, and the process of manufacture, that render candy injurious. You mean to do well by your child, but you are slowly and certainly effecting her ruin. At this critical period of her lite, when, for proper developmentand growth, she needs a largo supply of nourishing and easily digested food, you give her those detestible compounds of burnt su? gar and poisons, which not only slowly poison her system, but, worst of all, de? prive her of appetite and even of tho powers of digestion. If }'ou persist in this course, it is not difficult to predict the result; the chances that your child will reach womanhood will be diminished tenfold; if she reach adult years, it will not prove adult life in her caso, but rather a dwarfed and imbecile maturity. Her certain inheritance will be dyspepsia, a morbid appetito for crude and indigestible articles, and chronic and incurable dis? eases, which will render her irritable and peevish, and lead to premature old age and death in mid life.?Hearth 'andHome. Couldn't Find the Verdict.?At a re? cent session of one of the courts of South Carolina, an entire negro jury was empan neled. A case was brought before them, the witnesses examined, and the attorneys made their respective arguments. The Judge, after laying down the law and recapitulating the testimony, gave the papers into the hands of the Foreman, a rather intelligent looking darkey, with in? structions, as soon as they found a verdict to bring it in without fail. Thirty minutes or more elapsed, when the jury returned, headed by the Foreman, and stood before the Judge. As the Foreman appeared to hesitate, the Judge inquired? " Mr. Foreman, have you found a ver? dict ?" " No, Massa Judge, we habn't found 'em no how," replied the ebony juryman. " It's a very plain case," said the Judge. " Can't help it, Massa, couldn't see it," replied ebony again. " On what grounds ?" inquired the Judge. " We didn't look into de grounds, Mas? sa Judge," replied the Foreman ; " dc os sifer didn't take us out into dc grounds, but he took us into a room and locked us in, an' tole us when we found de verdict he would lelf us out. So we began to find de verdict, and sarch ebcry nook, corner, crevis, an' ebery ting dere was in dat room, but we found no verdict?no nufliu ob be kine dar." A Lake of Salt.?The great Humboldt salt mine near Austin, Nevada, is describ? ed by a California paper as looking like a lake frozen over. The salt is as hard and as smooth as ice. "Were it not for fine particles which are condensed from vapors arising from beneath, and which cover the crystaline salt to the depth of perhaps one eighth of an inch, it would make an excellent skating rink at all times of the year, except on the very unfivquent occa? sions when it is covered with water. The expanse of crystallized salt is no less than twenty miles in length and twelve in width, without a break or flaw fur the greater portion of that extent. The strat? um of solid salt is about six or seven inches thick, under which comes a layer of sticky, singular-looking mud, about two feet thick, and under this again another stratum of solid 6alt, as transparent as glass, of which the depth has been found in some parts to be six feet. In snmmer this salt plain, glittering and scintillating in the light of an almost tropical sun, pre? sents a brilliant appearance. The frosty covering and solid salt is as white as the snow, while the crystalline portion, when exposed, reflects dazzling prismatic colors. This immense deposit is remarkably pure, being ninety-five per cent, of salt and five per cent, ot soda?which is purer than what we commonly use for our tables. ?
