The history of the attempts to
establish "communities" in this coun?
try, from 1824, when Robert Owun
enthusiastically planted his colony on
the Wabash Rivor, to 1845, when the
whole system was broken up, as for as
the Fourier idea prevailed in it, should
be explicit enough to discourage any
farther efforts of the romantio entha
eiasts who have an itching to bring
about a new sooial order of the lotos
eating kind, which shall enable them
to lead a life of reverie and indolence.
The many failures of these experi?
ments in the hands of Owen, Albert
Biisbano and others did not prevent
the recent founding of the Vulooor
oommnnity, on Valcocr Island, in
LakeCbamplain. Mr. Orrin Sbipman
transferred the island to these com?
munists for the consideration of the
honor of founding a paradisiacal
scheme, and hundreds of idiets sold
their farms and removed to the sap
posed paradise. It has been discover?
ed, however, that the "island para?
dise" is a fraud; that it is covered, not
with forests, meadows and arcadian
retreats, bat by a heavy mortgage, and
that the whole transfer was a rase to
make money oat of the dapes and get
the mortgage taken up. The commu?
nists held an indignation meeting the
other day, and denounced the repre?
sentations about the island as a sta
Sendons fraud. Having come hau
reds of miles to the now Arcadia,
many of them in a destitute condition,
the communists have already had the
romanoe of the thing roughly knooked
oat of them, and they find that "ad
vanoed social regeneration" consists in
staying at home and attending to their
legitimate business.

Io reflecting upon tho political events
of tho laut few years, their oharaoter
and their tendenoy, we are reminded
?I a remark made by George McDuffle,
in his celebrated speech on ?tbe re* |
moval of the deposits, delivered in the
House of Representatives, in tho Oon
gross of the United States, 00 the 4th
of April, 1834. Daring that time of
high political exaitement, publication
had been made in the offioial journal of
certain anonymous letters purporting
to contain threats of assassinating the
{ President, General Jackson. Mr. Mo
Defile ppoko of the probability of thsto
letters being a oontrivanoe of the par?
tisan adherents of the President for
political effect, or that tbey may have
prooocded from some misguided mnn
nuder tho influenae of passion, who
hoped to alarm tho President for his
personal safety, and thereby induce
him to change his political course,
And after expressing his "utter abhor?
rence to every proceeding that may
have tho remotest tendency to suggest
the idea of assassinating the (jhicf
Magistrate," be said: "I will make
one concluding remark on the subject
?God forbid that it should be pro?
phetic?and it is that, if in the mid?t
of a violent politioal excitement, it
ever should occur that a Preaideut of
the United States should bo assassi?
nated, he will bo the last constitutional
President, and his blood will cement
the despotic throne of bin successor "
[Griffin Messenger.
When Aaron Barr bade farewell to
tho Senate, just before the expiration
of his term as Vice-President, be made
this prediction: "It is here, if any
where, that our ooaatry mast ulti?
mately find the anchor of her safety;
and if the Constitution is to perish,
whioh may God avert, and whioh I do
not believe, its dying agonies will be
soon on this floor." About that time
an attempt was being made to carry
through the House oertaiu amend?
ments to the Constitution, and John
Quiucy Adams observed to a brother
Senator, in a jooular manner, that Mr.
Burr appeared to have been mistaken,
as the agonies of the Constitution
were happening on that floor, and not
upon theirs. Upon whioh the latter
gentleman said, with great earnest nesB,
.air. Auiiiun teil? ?b iu hits memoirs.
"No, sir. The sense in which he said
that was, that the struggle here would
be to preserve the Constitutiou, aud
there it woald be to destroy it." What
interpretation woald the Sanators of
1805 have given to the prophetic
words of Mr. Burr, if they could have
been turned into the galleries of the
Senate seventy years latsr and heard
the debate on the Louisiana affair of
January 4? We rather think even Mr.
Adams' friend would have aocepted
the Senate as the power that would
strive to crush the Constitution, and
the Senate floor as the gladiatorial
field of its dying agonies.
[Louisville Courier-Journal
Asked God to Help Hbb.?The
Danville (Ky.) Advocate says: "An
interesting little daughter of Professor
0., of this oity, last summer, in eating
a water-melon, got one of the seed
lodged iu her wind-pipe. The effort
was made to dislodge it, bat proved
ineffeonal, and it- was thought that the
ohild would have to be taken to one of
the large cities to have an operation
performed by a skillful surgeou. To
this she was decidedly opposed, aud
pleaded with her mamma to toll her if
there was no other way of relief.
Finally, in order to quiet bor childish
fears, her Christian mother told her to
'ask God to help her.' Tho little ouo
went into an adjoining room, and
shortly thereafter oame running to her
momma with the seed in her hand und
her beautiful and intelligent face
lighted up with joy. In response to
the eager inquiry of the mother, the
little one said she bad asked God to
help her, and while eho wus praying
she was taken with a severe cough, in
whioh sue threw ap tha seed."
Preservation of Timber. ?Scientific
men are tnrning their attention to the
rapid destruction of the forests of the
United StateB. Tbey assert that tho
scarcity of wood for the praotioal pur?
poses of life, great as iu that evil, ia
trifling compared to the damage that
mnst result to the agricultural inte?
rests of the country by the changes of
climate that will follow the stripping
of timber lands. Already this change
is said to be apparent in many sec?
tions where ooctinued droughts are
now becoming oommon, much to tho
detriment of farmers. The remedy
suggested, in addition to greater
economy in the use of oar forests, is
to plant annually as many trees as ure
out down, which is proved by the ex?
perience of other communities to be
practicable. There is no subject to
which the legislation of the States
could be more profitably directed.

No wunder that juror in the Titton
Beccln r case got sick. For six weekB
tht y have all been shot up in a close
room, closely surrounded by ao eager,
pressing orowd, and a perfect flood of
moral impurities poured into their be?
wildered minds for hours every day.
There is a limit to the indulgence of
even the most prurient curiosity, just
as there is a limit to the excesses of the
grossest appetite. Thu heated and
crowded room and the prolonged con?
finement therein were enough to un?
string a man's nerv?s aud unsettle his
stomach. To be compelled to listen to
frequent objections from counsel, and
long law arguments that sometimes
consumed a whole day, were enough to
ruck any one's brain and superinduce
a ohronio headache. W:th tho physi?
cal and mental systems run down by
such an ordeal, to have tho moral tone
shattered by a surfeit of loathsome de?
tails of pastorul and domestio infelicity,
could not fail to produce nausea. Ic
is u wonder they ure not all sick. It is
a wonder they do uot have tho wiu
tlows up all the time. It is a wouder

BfWiLii Congress Do Anything??
We begin to doubt whether Congress
will do anything with regard to the
South before the session close?. Even
the Oivil Rights Bill is in doubt.
There are but ten days left, and there
is little probability that anything will
be legislated on but the necessary
business of tho Government. If so,
we shall see General Grant left to the
responsibilities whioh he has told the
country so many timeB be will meet in
bis own way if Congress does not in?
struct him. We shall seo what he will
do with the situation. Pinohback is
adjonrnod over to the next Senate;
whiob, we take it, is conclusive, Pinch
back will hardly get a seat in the Se?
nate. Does this not also Bettle Kel
logg's government in the Senate?
Will Morton have the assurance to
move now that Kellogg be recognized
as the lawful Governor of Louisiana?
The pitching over of Pinohback dears

refuse. The severeet bit that Morton
and Pinohback got was that evon
