. Atarecent meeting of the Academy of
. Sciences at Paris. M. d@’Arge reported that
since the publication of the remarkable iovestigations by M. Floreus, upou the development of bones and teeth, that gentleman
had continued to give the subject the clos.
est attention, The result was the proof
. that power of reproduction of boue exists in
. the periosteum, and therefore that amputa. tious are worse than useless, His state, ments were doubted, but after many experiments upon animals, the truth of the theory
was demonstrated by a successful experi. ment upon & man. Some time since a work. man suffered a comminuted fracture of the
. leg by a fall of stones aud scaffolding upon
jhim, It was thought that amputation would
. be necessary ; but the condition of the suf. ferer was such that the doctors were obliged to relinquish the idea of an operation.
. Happily, he was under the care of a man
/who had confidence, first iu nature, aod
. then in the possibility of the reproduction
) of the thigh, The only requirements for
, Success were great precautions and time.
Both were employed, and at the end of the
preserved so that it was as serviceable as
. it was before the accident. It was
. shorter nor longer, notwithstanding that
. many chips of the bone were extracted
from the flesh, M. Flourens exhibited one
. of the pieces, which was several centimetres
jin length. Itvis expected that ere many
. years are passed, no one will deny the re. producing power of the periosteum, and
ampulations will never be made, or only

Caucassian Civilization.
The supremacy of the Caucassian race
dates from the earliest historical times, 1t
is the only branch of the human family
. which bas ever originated a progressive civilization. Nay, I believe that if our kaow!edge of the remote were nearer, we should
find that the civilization of all other races
sprung from it, and that the rise and fall of
aucieot empires were but the successive
steps by which it rose, The light of civilization, ia the course of four thousand years,
bas been handed from one tribe to another,
bat it has always remained in the possession
of some family. Some scholars talk of accidental advantage, There is no such thing
ns accident in the divine government of the
world. If all history were blotted out,
physiology alone would prove the supremacy of the Caucassian. And the experience of all travelers is, that this supremacy
naturally and instinctively felt and ac. knowledged by all other races, with the exception, perhaps, of the Mongolian, who are
. too conceited to allow their inferiority in
ay ae,
Captain Cochran, in Siberia, not only
_trayeled in safety among the savages, but
was also well paid for giving them bis blessing as that of a superior being. I have
understood that Barrett, Barton, and Da
. Chaillu penetrated the wildest recesses of
. Africa, the natural superiority of their char.
. acter being an invulnerable shield, No one
supposes that a Malay, Mongolian or American Indian could safely accomplish the
same,
Whether this development of civilization
is occasioned by, or independent of climate,
. we fiod it, with very few exceptions, existing in the zone of mean temperature, It
bas marched from east to west, sending off
branches north aad south, but not deviating
generally in its course from the central por. tion of the temperate zone—the gules
. mean between the two extremes of heat and
cold, It is, therefore, to be inferred that
;
. belt of climate is most favorble to buman
. development and progress,
_ The Egyptian monarchy was formerly
. considered as forming an exception to this
claim, Later researches prove that they
were a braneh of the Caucassian family.
Even the Ethiopians, down at latitude fifteen
notwithstanding their durk complexion,
. have straight bair, and are not like the negro race, The complexion of the old Egyp, tian was brown, the bair straight, and the
hose prominent. I saw a mummy of a princess whose bair was dark browa with a sight
. auburn tinge,
Tbe color of the complexion may be modified by climate, but the form of the features is not chasged, Thus, the Arab in
. the valley of the Nile, is very dark, but he
bas the same eagle’s beak ofa nose, the
. Same thio nostrils and narrow jaws,
. _ Egypt lies in the temperate zone, according to geography, but its climate is considered trophical. Owing to the dryness of
. the air, ithasa bracing vital character
which we never find under the equator, Dariog the winter the thermometer falls low
. enough to make cold very perceptible. .
have seen it at Thebes within eight degrees
of the freezing point, In January, 1858,
snow fell all through the desert, and in the
old Arab records there are even accounts
of the Nile being frozen over, Thus, while
the palm and banana flourish in their conntry, itcan scarcely be considered @ tropical
climate,
We may, therefore, claim that every important triamph since the creation of man
belongs to the Caucassian race, And, (if
we except the Phocenicians, who cannot
positively be claimed, because we do not
know enough about them) every form of
reasonable religion and code of moral and
.
social law, originated from the same race.
. Buddism, Brahminism, the system. of the
Zoroaster, Grecian mythology, Judaism,
Christianity and Mobammedism, were first
_made known through the varions Caucassian branches, The race has not only been
chosen, ia the providence of God, as the fitAs the Cenfederacy includes in its total . test for receiving and disseminating his
population of 5,100,000 no less than 1,050,000 who are pledged to repudiation, it is .
difficult to understand the possibility of such .
an amount being raised in home or foreign .
markets, The feeling is increased by the
have signified their .
first President. This personage has long .
been regarded as the apostle of repudiation,
and the bolders of Mississippi bonds have
reason to remember his celebrated speech,
delivered witbio the Legislative ball, built
by British money, in which he ridiculed the
‘crocodile tears’ of the dupes who had ventured to petition for payment of their
claime.
AN Arrican Lron.—The Canadians are
eternal truths, but it has also given rise to
all other religious creeds which rest on a
moral and philosophical basis, It bas developed government, laws, arts, sciences,
languages, literature; has discovered aud
subjugated the latent forces of nature, bas
goue often beyond the earth, and measured
the stars in their courses, and only paused
on the brink of that awfal inflaity which is
the veil covering the countenance of God.
ARIZONA AND Swcession.—To-day (April
Sth) is set apart, says the Bulletia’s corres
pondent at Tucson, by the Mesilla Convention for voting upon their secession resolu.
tions. I bave before asserted that the Pacifle slope of this country had no sympathy
with this movement, and the fact is evident,
in there being no polls beld at thie place,
orany otverin this county. Arizona is
lionizing the negro Anderson, who murder. opposed to secession, whatever to the coned a white man and ran away from Missouri, and was lately set at liberty in Canada.
He bas been put to School under negro instruction, and lately attempted to make an
. what he intended to say.’ After
‘ training, he is to be taken to England.
. rary thay be asserted by interested politicians and restless demagognes. I even
. have grave doubts that the people of Mesil, 1@ will indorse the action of the Convention;
address ata public meeting, bat “forgot . but if they do, we repudiate their action as
proper far as it extends A to the Pacifle slope of
Arizona.
