Pleasonton, the author f the book in question, was not the Simons cavalry leader during the war. as has been ouite rrprwrallv ' . D J apposed, but his elder brother. The cavalry leader is Gen. Alfred Pleason. ton, while the discoverer of the blue light theory is Gen. Augustus J. Pleas- an ton. He is a graduate of West Point ; was in the regular army for some time, from which he resigned; during the war he was a Brigadier-General ot Pennsylvania militia, and was selected to organize a body of 10,000 men with in the state tor use in emergencies. He is a lawyer of prominence in Phila delphia, a gentleman of culture, wealth, and refinement. Owning a farm out side of the city, be, in 1860, commenced to experiment upon his theory regarding the different colors in the sun's rays, and their effects upon vegetable and an. imallife. Experiments made in Europe had already demonstrated that the blue rays of the sun's light had greater chem ical powers than any ot the others, de veloped a greater amount of heat, and were especially stimulating to vegeta tion. But these experiments had been barren of practical results, aud Gen. Pleasonton was left to his own resources to carry out his ideas. He built a large grapery, covered with glass, every eighth row ot which was blue. By this arrangement, the sun in making its rounds, CAST A BLCK BAY OF LIGHT upon every plant and leaf within the grapery. In April, 1861, he set out twenty varieties of grape vines in his grapery, all ot the cuttings being one year old the size ot a pipe stem, and cut close to the ground. ine vines soon began to show a most vigorous growth, and in a few weeks the grapery was filled with vines and foliage. By September or five months after setting thA need man who had furnished the cuttinss made measurements, and found that the vines had grown forty-five feet in length, and were an inch in diameter a foot above the cr round. These vines attracted frreat attention in the neigh. borbood, "but it was predicted that, owinsr to this unusual growtn, tney would not bear fruit. J ext year, bow- ever, the vines displayed the same vig. - " i orous growth, ana, in aaaiuon, oore over 1,200 pounds of luscious grapes ot unumial size. This was more astonish ing to horticulturists than tlie growth of the vinesj but from that day to this the vines have kept up the same vigor ous growth, being entirely free from dis. ease and destructive insects, ana rearing with nronortionate prohheness. How remarkable this result is will be appre. eiated when it known that, in grape- growing countries, the vines do not bear fruit until the nttn or sixtn year, juav incr been so successful in his first expon meet with vegetable life, General Pleas onton next tried the effect of BLUE LIGHT UPOX AXIMALS. His first experiment was with a litter ot pigs, which he placed in a pen which was lighted by blue ana piain glass, in serted in the root in equal proportions.

A GREAT BLESSING CONFERRED UPON THE HUMAN FAM ILY "WITHOUT COST. -- Some months ago, a number of the i papers in the conntry criticised, gener ally with some degree of facetiousaess, a "book written by Gen. A. J. Pleason tojn, of Philadelphia, entitled "Blue and Sun Light; their influence opon Life, Disease, etc." Some of the ideas set forth by Gen. Pleasonton are calculated to startle reading and thoughtful per sons, and failing to comprehend his theories, it is no wonder that the critics poked considerable fun at them. , My Attention was recently directed to the "blue glass" treatment by an old friend, who recommended its use in a case ot sickness in my family. Having conS dence in my friend, I wrote to Gen. , Pleasonton regarding it, and in reply recei ved a copy of his book, and .njfarnc tions regarding the application of the blue light in the case I recited to him. navies practical evidence! before me ot the benefits to be derived irosa thetp- pliestion of the "blue light," I propose in this letter to give some general idea of Gen, Pleasonton's theories -resaxdins the .... , much more than a similar litter raised in the usual way. He next experiment ed with an Alderney bull-calf, which was so puny and weak at its birth that the manager of the farm said it could not live. It was put under blue glass, and in twenty-four hours it was able to stand up, and was taught to drink milk; in tour months it was a penectiy aevei bull, strong and vigorous, and was turned in with the herd 01 cows, ana has since fulfilled every expectation re garding him. Subsequently, other ex periments cave mm connaence, ana now all his cattle are raised under blue glass, showing great vigor aud the most sur prising precocity. A heifer becomes a mother when 14 months old, ana we cows and their progeny are healthy and strons. and the former are great miiK- era. It is generaily held that heifers should not bear young before they are four years old, but, uuder the influence of blue glass, they do so, without in jury, when 18 months old, thus saving the expense ot keeping them through two and a-halt years. The beneficial effect of the associated plain and blue rays of sun's light upon vegetable and animal life having been demonstrated to the wonder and amazement of al who bad observed the experiments, their eneot was tried upon VARIOUS SICK PERSONS. The ' most astonishing results have:' been obtained, which are certified to in sucn manner as to leave no doubt re garding them. Commodore Goldstar. ough, who had read something regard. ins Gen. Pleasonton's discovery, relates the case ot a lady who prematurely gave birth to a child, which was weak and puny, weighing but three and a-balf pounds at birth. There were blue cur tains to the windows of : the room in which the child was reared, and these were arranged so that the light, enter. ins the room, came about equally through the blue curtains and the plain glass of the windows. Ine child bega: to thrive, developed a tremendous ap petite, while the lacteal system ot the mother was greatly increased. The child grew rapidly in health, strength and size, and, at the end of four months, weighed twenty-two pounds. Commo dore Goldsborougb experimented with two broods of chickens, placing one un der blue glass, and the other in an ordi nary coop. Ine former soon snowed the stimulating effect of the blue glass, their growth being almost visible from day to day, and their strength, size and vigor tar exceeding that of the chickens in the ordinary coop. This is testimony from a gentleman ot high standing, who is in the habit of carefully weighing bis words. The was suffering from a complication of disorders, and the medical fraternity oe New York and Philadelphia could do nothing for her. Her husband, Dr. Beckwith, writes that she was suffering from nervous irritation and exhaustion, which resulted in severe neuralgic and rheumatic pains, depriving her of sleep and appetite tor food, producing great debility and a wasting away of the body. Ine lady and her husband had abandoned hope of her recovery. Gen Pleasonton recommended the trial ot the blue class, and accordingly Dr. Beckwith arranged one sash ot a win duw with alternate panes of blue and common class. His wife then exposed to the effect of the associated rays ot blue and plain light, those portions of her body which were affected by ueu- raigia. in turee minutes mju cpcn- enced relief, and in ten minutes the pains disappeared. With each appli cation ot the associated lights, her pains became less, her appetite and strength returned, and in three weeks she was restored to her normal healthful condi tion. This lady had been losing her hair in consequence of her sickness, there being several bald places on her head. Under the stimulating effects of the bine glass, the hair began to grow vig orously, aud the bald places were soon covered with a luxuriant growth ot hair. Dr. Beckwith, in relating th;s case, says : "Jb rom my observations ot the blue and sunlight upon my wife, I re gard it as the greatest stimulant and most powerful tonic that I know of in medicine. It will be invaluable in ty phoid cases, cases of debility, nervous depression and the like." TWO MAJOIi-GEXERALS, old friends of Gen. Pleasonton, were af flicted with rheumatism in their tore- arms, from their elbow-joints to their finger-ends, so severe at times that they were unable to hold pens. J. hey deter mined to try Pleasonton's "blue glass," and accordingly obtained a piece of blue glass and set it up loosely iu one of their windows, r or three days they bared their arms and held them in the associ ated blue and sun light for thirty min utes. Each day brought tliera relief, and at the end of three days the rheu matism had disappeared, lwo years later they both informed Gen. Pleason ton that thev had not had a return of rheumatism in any form. A little child that had, from its birth, fcarcely any use of its legs, was taken to play daily in a room where blue grass iormed a portion of one ot the windows. In a very short time it obtained the use of its legs, and learned to walk and run without difficulty. Numerous other cases are mentioned in Gen. Pleason- ton's book, showing that there can be no question of the stimulating and cur ative effects of the associated blue and sun light. But I prefer to give my own experience, and then follow with Gen. Pleasonton's explanation. A lady ot my family, about six weeks ago, had a VIOLENT HEMORRHAGE OF THE LUNGS, and for ten days raised more or less blood daily. She was very much weak ened by the loss of blood, aud consider bly frightened withal. I obtained some blue glass and placed it in the window where she was in the habit of sitting, the blue glass constituting one. half of the lower sash of the window, The lady sat daily iu the associated ights allowing the blue rays especially to fall upon the nerves of the back o. the neck for about an hour a day. The second day, the sun's rays being unusu ally strong, she got "too much blue glass, at night felt peculiar sensations in the back of the neck, among the nerves, and an unpleasant- fullness in the head. These sensations wore off next day, and since then she ha- not re roained so long at a time under the blue glass. But from the first she be gan to grow stronger, ner lace soon gained its natural fullness, and in form on leaving the room, but grew less from day to day. Very soon ner con dition began to improve, ner appeuw returned and with it her strength ; she homii to train rlesh.her sleeplessuess dis- o a-"- . . ppeared,and,in short, she was speeany restored to health. HOPE FOR THE BALD-HEADED. A singular feature of this young la dy's case was that her hair all came ont, and she became as bald as an egg. ner physicians examined the scalp with a microscope, and declared that there were no roots of hair remaining, and that, consequently, Fhe would never again have a natural head of hair. This announcement, to a young lady, was worse than would have been the reading of her death warrant. Letter the cold grave and its attendant worms than to go through life with a wig. Under the blue glass treatment, howev er, the hair'did begin to grow, and the young lady discarded her "wig, and when ehe called upon Oen. ITeasonton, she showed him a luxuriant growth of nair, which any young lady might envy. She was profusely grateful to the Gen eral for having restored her hair, and incidentally saved her lite. So much for examples and illustrations. These ard numerous others which I might cite, if you had space to print them, show that the blue associated with the sun light have a wonderfully stimultaing effect upon both vegetable and animal lite, and have cured some diseases with which the human family is afflicted. If they will do this, everybody ought to know it, for the treatmcmt costs noth ing, and" is a great saving of doctor's bills. Now for scientists, who are now experimenting with the blue glass. What results have been obtained is not known. All sci entists admit that electricity is a force regarding which very little is known. They are all striving to learn more re garding it, and to make it mote subser vient to the will of man. Perhaps Gen; Pleasonton has got A STEP IN ADVANCE of all of them, and holds the key of the puzzle in bis grasp. I should add, how ever, that he is exceedingly modest re garding his discovery, aud says s "I do not profess to teach any one ; but as a human atom among the masses ot man kind, tor whom all knowledge should be disseminated, I venture to impart to to the public the conclusions to which I have arrived on these subjects, and that public may attach to them what ever value they please." When I see a near and dear relative daily advanc ing from sickness to health, gaining strength and vigor from the application of his theory, I, for one, attach very considerable weight to it. In the hope that others may be induced to experi ment in this direction, where no possi ble harm can follow, and mv&h good may result, I have written this letter. Y. 1".

Of course, she was not cured of the trouble in her lungs in so short a time, but the soreness in her chest has passed away, and she begins to feel well again. After sitting in the associated light for a week, a large number of red pimples came out on her neck and shoulders, an indication that that the treatment was bringing out to the surface the humors of the blood. In a letter to me Gen. Pleasonton says : "I am satisfied that if this treatment shall be continued through the Winter and Spring, any tuberculous develop ment that may exist in the lungs will be arrested, its pus absorbed into the circulation, and then thrown off from . a mm. m t tne dioou in tue excretion las nas oc curred already in the spots on the bodvt the wounds ot the tubercles will be cic atrized and the lady restored to a con dition ot good health." in the same letter lieu. lleasonton relates an agree- able incident which occurred to him but a tew weeks since. A lady and her daughter called to see him, and an nounced that they had come from Uorn. ing, N. Y., to Philadelphia, for the ex press purpose ot thanking him tor SAVING THE DAUGHTER'S LIFE. Four years ago she was afflicted with a violent attack ot spinal meningitis. Her sufferings were indescribable but continuous. Every conceivable remedy had been resorted to during these tour years, but the patient received no bene. fit. ' Her nervous system at last became so disordered that the slightest sound or the most gentle agitation ot the air threw her into the most agonizing suf fering, one was wasted away in flesh could not sleep at night, had no appe. tite, and her lite was dispaired o Hearing of Gen. Pleasonton's discovery in associaiea lights, ner parents deter mined to try it. A bay window was fitted with alternate panes of blue and plain glass, and the young lady sat dai ly in the light which streamed through them. Her physicians, of course, laugh ed at the idea, pronounced the whota thing a humbug, etc., as is the habit of professional gentlemen whenever any new idea is broached. The phvsieian was dismissed, and the young lady re lied wholly upon the blue-glass treat ment for her' restoration to health. The iady eays that on entering the room GEN. PLEASONTON'S EXPLANATION of the curative effects ot the associated lights. In his letter to me he puts it thus tersely : "Sunlight passes through plain transparent glass with very slight obstruction, as it does through the at mosphere and ether of space ; it pro duces no heat for the glass remains as cold as the outside atmosphere while the sunlight passes through it. When, however, the adjoining sunlight, mov ing with the eame velocity as the first mentioned, viz : 186,000 miles per sec ond, falls upon the blue panes ot glass, six of the seven primary rays of sun light are suddenly arrested by it, only the blue ray being permitted to pass through into the apartment. The sud den stoppage of these six rays of light, with this enormous velocity produces friction ; this friction evolves negative electricity, which is the electricity ot sunlight passing through the cold ether ot space aud our cold atmosphere, both of which beiug negatively electrified im part their electricity by induction to the rays of sunlight as they pass. The blue glass is oppositely electrified. When these opposite electricities, thus brought together, meet at the surface ot the glass, their conjunction evolves heat and magnetism ; the heat expands the molecules of the glass, and a current of electro-magnetism passes into the room, imparting vitality and strength to any animal or vegetable life within it. When the atmosphere of the room be comes thus electro-magnetized, its in habitants cannot fail to derive the great est benefit fiom being in it." Gen. Pleasonton's book is devoted to the sci entific discussion of his theory, aud to the recital ot proof to sustain him. He boldly combats many theories which have been accepted as established prin ciples, and ably puts forward his own as a substitute. For instance, he denies the NEWTONIAN THEORY OF GRAVITATION, affirming that there is no such thing. He holds that electricity is the all-controlling force ot nature, and by and through it we live and have our being, the earth revolves, the planets are sus tained in their several places, and all that. He further denies the accepted theory that the sun is an incandescent body, throwing off heated rays, and that there is any heat in the sunlight. He argues that the earth is surrounded by an envelope of atmosphere and ether, which has been proved to be ot a tem perature minus 142 degrees centigrade, and that it would be absolutely impos sible tor the sun's rays to penetrate this cold envelope for a distance ot 92,000, 000 of miles and preserve any portiou of heat whatever. According to Pleas onton, all our heat is evolved from the earth, and the heat and cold of our at. mosphere are regulated by the distance ot this cold envelope from the earth. Not being a scientist, and not having much time or space at my disposal, I shall not pretend to explain Gen. Pleas onton s ideas. Let those who wish to read his book 6end to Scribner for it, inclosing 82, and they will get it. But "the proof ot the pudding is in the eat ing." While I cannot explain scien. tifically the operation, I kuow that the blue light, in conjunction with the plain light, has produced wonderful effects, both in curing diseases and otherwise. It costs nothing to try it, for, although a patent has been issued to Gen. Pleas onton tor his discovery, he has not sought to profit by it. Let WHOEVER DESIRES TO EXPERIMENT with it, whether upon vegetable or ani mal life, go ahead. If upon vegetable life, the proportion of blue glass to trans parent should be about one-eighth ii upon animal lite, let it be about equal one-half blue and one-halt transparent, The glass used is a dark purplish blue, and can be obtained almost anywhere. Get a few panes ot it cut to the size of your window panes, and insert them al ternately in the sash, and then let the lame, the halt, and the blind sit within its influence. It is soon tested, and at a trifling co6t. The results already ob tained aud certified to by men ot known character and-standing are sufficient to make ridiculous the one who would cry "humbug." Facts are facts, and can not be wiped out. Whatever one may think of Gen. Pleasonton's theories or his explanations of the results obtained by his experiments, no one who reads his book can doubt but these results have been obtained. In France, hies book attracted the attention of the best When young MissBriggsitoportttned her mother, the other day, for permis sion to go down and ride on the ferry boat, the mother sat down and said : "Now Miss Nellie, it you were riding on the boat and a nice yonng man stared at you, what would you do ?" "I'd turn my head, mother." "Well, if he took out his handker chief and gave it a flirt, what would you do ?" "I'd pretend I didn't see him." "Very good; but if this nice young m,an, in spite ot your contemptuous treatment, should have the impudence to walk over and sit down beside you, what would you do ?" "I'd take another pat." "That's right my darling. But sup pose, again, that he should follow you, and be bold enough to offer you a fan, what then ?" "Do you mean a young man?" "Yes." "A real nice voung man ?" "Yes." "One with a brown moustache and chestnut eyes awful pretty and sweet looking ?" "Yes." "Then, oh, mother you'd better not let me go on the boat, tor I'm so very weak, 1 know I'd take the fan!"
