BesearcTi and investigation are con
stantly develong new facts in the
scientific world, aud old theories arc
ns constantly being exploded. The
most enrkw aa well as interesting;
devclopmei!-- have lieen madeiu phys-:
iology. A profound scientist, witlt a
name as long as a flag-pole, w ho has
made the economy of man the subject
of a life's stndy and research, gives
the following as the result of hi inves
tigations and calculations so tar as he
has got. lie says;
When pre mmr milk into a cup of tea 01
voflW-, the albumen of the milk ami the
tannin of the tea Instantly form leather, or
minute flukes of the very sime Compound
which is m-oduecd in the. texture of the
tunned hMe, and whieh uakes it leather
ns dlslli' nlshed from the original skin.
In the v use of a year a len-drhikcr of
average habits will have imbibed leather
enough ' i makea pair of boots, if it could
Ixj put .uto the proper shape for tlx; pur
pose. We are about to make an original
remark: A great many things go Juto
the mouth! (Tlu is a scientific fact
that none dare dispute, therefore we
claim a patent on it.) Aside from the
originality of the remark, it is certain
ly an alarming fact. Just think of it
each of us, you. ig and old, big and
little, male and female, drink, in the
short space of one year, enough leath
er to make a pair of boots ! Astound
ing. We carry iu our blood although
of the F. F. V. 'a enough iron to make
a good horse-shoe. A dozen good-sized
bricks could he made from the clay
we carry in our mortal frames, were
it properly separated and burned.
Our lager beer drinkers, unknowingly
it may be, have commenced 11 ie man
ufacture of material for hats they are
simply making hat factories out of
(heir stomachs. Tlie malt ol the beer
assimilates with the chyle and forms a
kind of kit tlie very same seen in hat
factories. Aud as we proceed further
, with our scientist, we are iuformed
that every adult person in the course
ot eiglit mouths, requires for the sup
port of the bones iu the body, to be
fed lime enough to make a marble
mantle. This map of science sums up
as the aggregate of articles charged to
account ot physiology, to keep a man
iu fair working condition through a
life of three score and ten years, as
follows .
Men's boots, at one pair a year for 70
yean 70
Horse-shoos, one a month fdrtO years
as our arterial system renews its
blood every new moon StO
Bricks, at 12 per 7 years 120
Hats, not less than tl pel' year two
Mantles, at ii per year 105
It will be observed that we eat as
many boots as we wear ; devour a
sufficient number of hats, to supply a
small orphan school ; that we lloat iu
our blood vessels enough iron to make
horse-shoes for a large livery business;
that we "tote" around clay enough to
make a good sized flue, and that our
bones contain marble sufficient to
make several large double-medium
imposing stones.

John C. Heenan, the 'Benieia Boy,"
an ex-pugilist, on tteears, near Green

To Pkeskkve Fence-Posts. The
following Is a French receipt for pre
serving fence-posts from becoming
rotten after they are Imbedded in the
earth. It is said to be especially good
in low. flat groMuds, along swails, etc.
This is the process : Take linseed oil,
boil it aud mix it with charcoal dust
until the mixture is like ordinary
paint. Give the posts a single coat of
tlie paint or mixture before putting
them in the ground, and noarmer, it
is averred, will live long enough to
see them rotten. Wood is thus ren
dered more durable than iron Itself.
The discoverer of the process, says that
posts of soft wood, removed after re
main" in the ground seven years, were
found as sound as when first put into
the ground. The only precaution nec
essary is to see that the posts are well
dried, before covering them with filar
ial paint.

The follov iug letter, written to the
Bulletin, speaks for itself:
Hi i LSBoHO, October 25.
Editors Bulletin: When in town
to-day I got a Copy of the State Rights
Ikni'icntty piibii-hed at Albany by Mr.
Martin Van Buren Brown, formerly
of Iowa. Out of one of its columns I
cut the small extract pinned to this,
which appears to have come from the
editor :
"Mrs. Surratt was hanged amid a
howl of exultation, in which nobody
howled louder than Holt, Bingham,
Speed, Stanton. Howard, and the rest
of the clique which ruled in Washing
' ton at that time. But every man of
tlxmi has been trying to wriggle out of
his share of infamy ever since."
I may be misinformed as to whether
tlie Mr. Brown who has the Democrat
is the same person 1 used to know, but
I have strong reason to believe he is.
During ttu. rebellion he was a niteer
in the Union Army. I dUti ly re
member hearing him vehemeiiily curse
'Old Mother Damnable," as it was
the fashion then to call Mrs. Snrralt,
and saying that she deserved hanging
as' bad as any of the assassins of our
great lamented Lincoln. I have not
changed my ideas of it, but if this is
the same Mr. Brown, he appears to
have changed his very much since then.
If the rest who then condemned her
have got to wriggle in infamy on that
account, I don't See how he CUU expect
to escape. Oblige mo by publishing
this letter.

AI.MA.M- AND KAXTIAM CANAL.
The Albany and Santiam Canal
Company would respectfully call ihe
attention of Ha) pulilie, and especially
the Capitalist, and those desiring to
engage iu manufacturing, to their
gigantic water power and water priv
ilege. Sixteen thousand cubic feet
constantly flowingevery minute, equal
to 800 horse power. With from 8 to 30
feet fall, sufficient for the most exn
give machinery, with ground on w hich
to erect the neces-ary buildings, etc.
The Company deem it but proper: hat
the public should know more fully the
locality of this great water power. l
facilities and surroundings, in order
that those unacfiiillhttetf may form
some estimate of its value.
The city of Albany Is the county-seat
of Linn county, located on the south
east bank of the Willamette river,
about 100 miles south of Portland, by
river, and 8t) miles by railroad; sixt'li
of Salem 45 miles by rivt rand 30 miles
by railroad, aud north o: Eugene City
45 miles.
Albany is located iu a prairie of the
same name, which is the great agricul
tural center ot the illaiuette alley,
and it is believed that upward of '(OO,
000 bushels of surplus wheat wil be re
ceived at that point, the p: -i Dtfeasou,
The most of it will find its ly to for
eign markets, either by boat i or rail
road to Portland, aud from thence ti
on the ocean. The Willamette rivet
is navigated by beautiful steamers,
carrying from SO to 300 tons, running
as far as Albany some ten months iu
the year. Also, the O. & G. It. It ,
with its beautiful locomotives, is pass
ing through the city daily. The city,
ot Albluty is located upon a high, roll
ing prairie, with thi ( ttapooht, a beau
tiful creek, flowing ikU the Willamette
river on the west. theVater of Which
W used iu driving two large flouring
inills, situated on the bank of the Wil
lamette river. The city is about one
mile in length, running east and west,
and from one-half to three-fourths
of a mile in w idth, and is laid oil' w ith
streets of good width.
The Canal, which is the subject and
ol.ject of this communication, receives
its waters from the boulli Santiam
river, which heads in the great Cascade
mountains, some 75 miles cast of
Albany; thence running westerly
through a valley of the same name, to
Lebanon, a village located near the
west l ink of said river, 13 miles east
of Albany. The Canal receives the
water: from the Santiam river at that
point, thence I'miring west to its ter
minus at Albany. The main Santiam
flows northward, and empties its
mountain waters Into the Willamette
river 10 miles northeast of Albany.
The Canal is brought from Lebanon
through a beautiful prairie for a dis
tance of 12 miles, and empties into the
Willamette river, forming on its way
and in the cily sonic of the finest water
powc rs for manufacturing purposes
found on the Pacific coast. There are
but few, if any, points in the State
which surpasses Albany now, for man
uf during facilities. Cheap water
power and easy of access, and conven
ient transportation, either by water or
railroad, and the location beautiful and
hcalthv.
The Canal Company offers liberal
Inducements to persons desiring to en
gage in the business of manufacturing,
and will famish wajeV power upon the
most reasonable terms. Manufactur
ing of all kinds is ueeded iu Oregon,
and could be made profitable, fhe
Canal Company will agree to furnish,
within sixty days, any water power
needed, from a button factory to that
of a locomotive.
immigrants and others are earnestly
invited, and 'requested to visit Albany
and examine for themselves. Heal
property can yet be procured on very
reasonable terms, both in and out of
the City. Our people compare favor
ably with the restol mankind, morally
socially, politically and financially.
