Reciprocity of Toleration
When in the zenith of. its power, the
Pemocriitie party was never intolerant.
i ever conceded to till, tho right'to enjoy
and ffeely express their own opiuiou, and
unreslrietedly to ci.itici.tu 'the nets, policy
and measuresof Nntionalatid State Admin

is yet fresh in our recollection, with what
licoutioiiHiCs this right was exercised to

uow universally conceded, a truer patriot
never trod American oil. And indeed,
for hnU'a century, tho Democrat to party

were subjected tu the exercise of ih right,

What though its measures were rrittcised
with bitterness and unfairness; rejied
upon thost measures provinulhcir own
wisdom and propriety - by tho safe and
sure means of fair trial. Wht though
alarmists asseverated that the country
would be ruined by its policy; it cheerful
ly awaited results. What though vi

official position ; it was content to let the
tacts develop themselves. ?ut though
designing and utubitious' men assailed the
Constitution aud Union, in political liar
atigucs and trashy tracts; it relied upon
the virtue and intelligence of the people
to defeat their puny efforts. All theso
things, and more, were permitted by the
Democratic party when it was Ac "I'uwer
in the land." Arrets for expression of
opinion were unknown, and the l'res was
as free in its utterance as a healthy man's
respirations.
N'or was such toleration limited by the
Democratic "party to ti e exercise of the
powers of the Government, but was exten
ded by its individual member to social
intercourse and business tran-actiotis.
The Democrat stopped not to eiopiire
whether the dry gssjs merchant, the gro
cer. the butler or tho employe entertained
political views in accoril with his own. mr
did hepriscribe thoc of opposite polities
in the common amenities of life. Thce
practices were iuculcated by tho pirt of

of the principles of our Constitution. As

A fiilritunl Nciutcc.
For several weeks there has been two
or threo professed spiritualists giving
tranrcn at a house on Eleventh and Green
streets. Over it thousand persons hac
attended their Wonderful performances,
paying $2 cichfor tho privilego of meet
ing their . friends who had gone before
them into tho realms of the 4,Kternal."
They had been mystified, startled, over
whelmed, iu tact, batubooslcd. A lawyer
of national fa mo, who had won high rank
as a soldier, said they surpassed his com
prehension. Others had heard tho music

entered through the portal of thfS tomb
into the heavenly rarade. Men of the
strongest minds really believed theso
things; and hdes of. delicate fancies were
impressed to an extent accordant with
fragile organization. Theso fellows pro
tended to curtail manner of diseases, and
to reveal secrets from tho dead. ' cy
made such an impression, even unon in
tellects otherwise sound, that hundreds
were actually undct the belief that they
had enjoyed interviews with tho departed.
Uuthlesly and sactcligiously th&y trifled
with tho most sacred affections-
Last iiiyht riuitc a number of ladies ns-
scmuiea at tho room", corner, of Klevcuth
and Green. There eminent niml.ers of
the legal and professional. Wside other
parties u high poNitinn in the city. The
-erviccs were opened by a few remarks
from the Rev. Mr. Jenkins, a Methodic
preacher with long hair, who alluded to
the solemnity of the mccltngand eonvcrs,
tug with deceased friends. Then the
circle was formed and hands joined.
iwgiits were extinguished and a prominent
lawyer by wity of invocation, sang in a
stentorian voice. "Am I a soldier of the
cross," "From Greenland's Icy .Mountains
and "Home, Sweet Home." 'prior there-
to Iho same follower of Rlackston had
scattered the contents of a big of flour
over the floor that he might see tho tracks
of tho angchj. Dr. Church, the Uading
medium, had already been circfuHy tied
by uu ex Stae Senator and placed In a
chair. Pretty soon the big Injun Kcin-
waukic, who had been dcid thousand
years, came "thump" on the floor, shak-
tug ute whole house. Then mutc was
heard from an accordeon that was placed
in the middle of the room. It was de
lightful, ravi-hing. ecstatic. KvcrvWly

During the singing he. had quietly slip
ped the cords with which he had been
bound. Upon tilt expo" ho pretended
to be in a trance, hut suddenly bolted for
the front door. Hi.s dupes looked dumb
founded. One gentleman who had been
grossly imposed upon threatened the life
of the humbug. But a compromise was
effected. The money wn restored to the
visitors and Jenkins and Church placed in
the tation.houe. They deserve a location
in Frankfort penitentiary.

r.7cutnl ntid lIfj-ftfeal Work.
Of all hard daily workers, the heart and
lungs are the most persevering. From day
to day, front youth to old ago they toil
away with scarcely n moment's intermis
sion, and, gentle and almost imperceptible
as their labors appear, tho amount they
get through is something enormous. The
heart is n most powerful pump, throwing
out at every beat five or six ounces of
blood,- In twenty-four hours it pumps out
in this waya quantity which is estimated
at from fourteen to nineteen tons; and the
force which it exerts in doing so would
be sufficient 'to raiso fourteen packs of
coals io tho top of tho , Monument !
The lungs,, too. the bellow of the animal
machine, although they do not do more
than one-tenth of the work the heart ac
complishes, contribute .Very materially o
the total. Other kinds of work arc also
being done in the bisly, the amount of
which we are not yet able to estimate.
' Mcutal work,' for instance, ha been ex
perimentally proved to be, in part, at least
nptual physjcul labor ezhausding the pow-
crs of the hody as effectually, though not
to so great extent, as the more mechanical
form of labor. The heat which a human
being develop in a day various exceed
ingly, and its amount has not been very
accurately determined; but for an adult
iu good health, and upon a moderate diet,
wc cannot be far wrong in estiuuttug tt'to
be equal to the raising of five gallons and
a half id water from freezing point to boil
ing point. 2Sow the quantity of work
which a definite amount of heat is capable
of doing : perfectly well known. The
heat which would raise one pound of water
ouedegree Fahrenheit, would if it were em
ployed in doing work a it U in a steam
engine, raiec oue pound weight 772 feet
or what is the same thing, 772 pounds 1
foot. Measured by this standard we find
that the beat which would raise five and
a half gallons of ic;-cold water to a boiling
point would bo enough to lift 3.412 tous
otic foot high, or to put the fact in anoth
er form, to bout 17U sack of coal to the
top of the monument. Wc can uow clas
sify, in a rude kind of manner, the chief
varieties of work which are done in the
body. It is not uccessary for our present
purpose to enumerate the less important
kind of work. This we have seen is the
greatest in amount. It probably conti
tute not les tJian four-fifth of the wh ile
work of the body. 2. Internal Work,
including, as the chief items the action of
the heart and lung. 3. External Work.

Heaven and Home. Wo wero read

upon tho deep, are in tho habit at even
