Summer Land" ia tile name (riven by the seer Davis to thitt bournp from vt'lienoe it was populmiy supposed before the day of Bpint-rappinr-r-no traveler returned.. In other, words, it is tho' heaven of the Spiritiin lists who believe in Mr. Davis' teachings. Before Roinp; into a description of the Summer Land,' Mr. Davis' state ment of the Manner in which, the spirit quits the earthly tenement by the process called death, will bS en tertaining: , '; " DEATH SO-CALLED. Suppose a human being to be ly in in the death-bed before you. Persons' present not seeing anything of "the beauiiful process of the in terior" are grief-stjiclien and weep ing; The departing one, it may be supposed, is a beloved nlember of the family. But there in the corner of the room of sorrow stands one (the seer), who sees through the out ward puenomena presented uy ine dying one.' To the outward Benses the feet are there, the head on the pillow, and the hands clasped, out stretched, or crossed over the breast, If the person is dying under or Up on cotton there are 'signs of 'agony, the head and body changing from side to side. Never allow, any soul to pass out of the physical .body through the agony of cotton or feath ers either benenk or in folds about the sufferer." The perscfn is dying, aud we will suppose that it is a rapid' death. . The feot grow com. , ine clairvoyant sees directly above the head what may lie called the mag netic halo, "aii ethereal emanation, in appearance golden, and throbbing as though conscious." The tody is now cold tip to the knees ana eluows, and the emanation has ascended higher in the air. The legs are cold up to the hips and the arms to the shoulders, and the emanation, though it has not arisen higher in the room, io more expanded. Now the de.ith coldness steals over the breist, and around -on either side, and the eman ation' has attained a higher position nearer the ceiling. The; person hits censed to breathe, the pulse is still, and the emanation is elonged mid fashibned in (he outline of the hu man form. Beneath it is connected the brain.. Tile golden emanation is connected with the brain by a very fine thread. Now the body of the emanation ascends. Then appears soufethins white and shiniug, like a human head, next, in a few moments a faint outline of the face divine, the fair neck and beautiful shoulders; then in a rupid succession come all parts of the new body down to the feet, "a bright, shining image, a lit tle smaller than this physical body, but a perfect reproduction in all ex cept 'disngiiremements." The fine thread, continues attached to the old brain. :: The next thing is the with drawal of the electric principle. When this thread snaps the spiritual body is .free and prepared to accom pany its guardians to Summer Land. "Yes, there is the spiritual body; it is sown in dishonor and rained in brightness." THE SPIRIT JOURNEY. The newly arisen spir.ttial body moves off toward a thread of mag netic light which has penetrated the room. The soiritual being is as'eep, just like a new-born, happy babe; the eyes are closed, and there seems to be no consciousness of existence. It is an unconscious slumber. In many cases this sleep is long, in oth era not at all. The love-thread now draws the new-born body to the out side door. A "tbough'-shaft" de scends uioon one who is busy about the body. "This person is impressed to open ilie door of the dwelling and leae it open for a few moments. Or some other egress is opened and the spiritual body is silently removed from the houte." Cele-tial attrac tion draws it obliquely through the forty-five- miles of air. It is sur rounded by a beautiful assemblage of guardian mends, luey tnrow their loving aruie around the sleep ing one, and on thev all speed to tho world of Light. When the time ap proaches for the spirit's awakening, "then celestial music, or some gentle manipulation, or the murmuiii.g melody of distant streams, or some thing like brea thing passes made over the sleeping one, cause sensa tion to return, and thus tho new comer is introduced to the Summer Laud." THE LOCATION OF THE BUMMER LAJID. Such is Mr. Andrew Jackson Davis' picture of the cliango culled death. It would certainly be a very i in- ,i r, ;m, ,,i I 1 natural law, arm ine resuii kiouv peasant Uiiug to bele if he cpul l iueB ihna ig usually found . i 'l . ii . 1, visions to prove ,t and it would rob the ait hour of all its terrors, now. - -., . i Lie bond, noino rowan ausociaio vj- having taken Uw spn.t into its e w b fl jn ,m.'nttotM direction! and with these tarn what that abode is.

' whicD amiears in a uosion spirituni paper. Being asacil Where is mo spiritual world he replies that it is "About si.tv-five billions of miles from the planet earth.

Spirit is u... ' kiL..j ..te ..d maitar Mr. Parker 'also says that he lives ftr nil-tl,f.rr.f,irsi it reouiresa civea time for that body of mat!- . t SDirit. to nans from one point other. The time required depeni of the spirit, and upon its knowl edge of the elements through which it has to pass; of the universal pow ers with which it has to deal. Somo spirits can pass through space more quickly than others; some find it ex ceedingly difficult, because they do not know how to take the best ad vantage of the currents of magnetic and electric life that they meet with. "So, then," continues the disembod ied Mr. Parker, "If I say I can leave this place and be at my own villa in Spring Garden City in five seaouds of earth-time, you are not to ,sup. pese that every other spirit can do the same thing, only i hat I cun do it." 'These human wills, in the spirit world, are the fast or slow horses that you have to drive. CELESTIAL SCENERY. Mr. Davis says the Summer Land is vastly more beautiful than the most beautiful landscape of earth. Celestial' waters are more limpid, the atmosphere more soft and genial, the j strenms are always musical, aui the fertile islands there are always full of meanings. The tree are not exotics, and the birds are literally a part of the celestial clime, every one Having its lesson of 'divine signifi cance. The Summer Land is every way a world as actual as this. It is a comprehensive sphere. Astronom ically speaking, tho earth is on one side of that vast galaxy of suns and planets termed the "milky way," and directly across this great physical belt of' stars we find the sublime re pose of the Summer Land, and this is but the rosceptacle of the immor tal inhabitants who ascend from the different planets that belong to one solar Bystem. These plnntets all have celestial rivers, which lead from them toward the heavenly shores. The spirit land has a firmament. It is filled with stars, suns, and satel lites. It rolls in tho blue immensity. The sky there is not without its clouds. ' They change very much like, the clouds of our tropics, yet they do not much resemble them. The changes ura like those in the South ern skies, but the clouds themselves are very different. A SUMJIEU LAND CITY. In a volume containing communi cations from distinguished person ages in the other world, sold at the Spiritualists' bookstores, there is an account of the oily of Spring Gar den, before alluded to,' as the resi dence of the spirit body of Theo tlore Parker. The late Margarate Fuller, Countess d'Ossoh, is the al leged authority for the statements contained in this connection. Prob ably the description will answer for other cities in tne Bpint worm. Sprim Garden contains between sixty thousand and seventy thousand inhabitants, a majority of whom are encased in literary and artistic pur suits. It is just the place where all good newspaper men are likely to go when thov shuttle off. The s'reets are handsome, the pavements bein, covered v,'ith a brilliant enamel, which is formed by dampening a cer tain vfilldw powder, which, when hardened, shines like amber. They are laid out in circles surrounding a large park of several acres, which forms the center of the city. This park is embelished with trees and flowering plants of every description and does not differ maternlly from the extensive parks to be found on earth, except in its management. Forming au outer circle to the park is the main tlioroushftire of the city. The buildings are of a light, graceful style of architecture1, adapted to the out-door life which the people gen erally lead. The streets facing the park is devoted to the display of commodities afnl creations of the world and its inhabitants. Here beautiful fabrics finer than the web of a spider and ornamented with the most exquisite floral design taken from nature are exposed to view. There are however no millinery cs-tabli-hmenis in Spring Garden City, and the females ear simply there beautiful hair, which they adorn with flowers and a peculiar lace "as thin as a breath." There are many artists' studions in the streets, and the art of painting is carried to great-, er perfection than it ever has been on earih. The city contains many institutions' of learning, which are accessible 10 all. BAl'.alAOE. In the Summer Land fwe again quote from the volumes just alluded to, and not from A. J.

For the benefit of our readers we have lately taken some trouble to in vestigate in regard to the Alden Fruit Preserving Piocess, .and here with give the result of our efforts. This process was originally invent ed by Mr, Charles Allien, of New burg, Orange county, Nv Y,, and lias been before the public for about four or five years. As evidence of its complete success, we are informed that at the present time there aro about 10 J dittjreiit. factories in suc cessful operation in the country east of the Mississippi river. Also in the State ol California, where but one year ago, there was only a single lao tory, are now mx already in operation, with Y respect of many more the com ing season. These in general terms, are some of the evidences ot the pop- pnlarity ot the process. Jiul m par ticular, our readers will ask, ''What will this process do for us. and what of its application?" It is claimed tor this process, tnai it will rapidly and cheaply remove the free water trom all fruits, vegeta bles and berries, leaving them equal in all respects to the fresh redacts for culinary purposes, anil in moat cases aitfjvrior in richness, ripeness and digestibility, and reducing them of course to nearly the, same weight of ordinary dried Iruits and berries; consequently tmpcrislwlile and easily liaiispnrii'it to distant markets. But 'Alden evaporated" fruits, vegetables, berries, etc., should not be confounded with ordinary "desicated1 or dried fruit, being quite different in tb;di' nature and composition. That such is, the case, all can be convinced by procuring some of the "Alden" apples or other fruit, and cooking ao cnrdiiig to directions, when 6ne half of the sugar required for ordinary dried li nii, of the same variety, will lie found sufficient for the products of ihe "Alden" process. A description ' l'le apparatus would be loo lengthy for our columns but we quote froni-circtilnis of Allien Fruit Preserving Co., of N. Y fur nished by their agent, O. P. Dennis ley, .of Salem, as follows : ''Tile menus employed by Mr. Alden to .produce ilie-e resells are three fold, namely: Knpid circulation of nil' accurately aihipied and graduated heat, and at all times considerable degree ol hu midity. It will be noticed that each of these points stands directly con Irary both to the process and desicit tiou or kiln drying and to that of or dinary ar drying., This is nil accom plished by very simple, easily worked and durable apparatus. To Salem lu-lnugs the honor of es tablishing the first "Alden" lautory in Ore-ion, and we understand that it is a most inaguiliceiil success so far asiesleil. Starting quite Into in the season, ibis company have only treat ed apples' by way of experiment, But we are informed that various other articles have been tried, ainoim them a q.iiinlity of beet was treated with the most salisbic'ory re sult. T)ie tinly objection we have heard to this process is its cost. But on iiivealiuauon. we are inlormed on good authority that after charging the business with Interest and .deprecia tion upon factory a ton of "Al len" apples or pears' can be produced "8 cheaply as the somo weight by nny ordinary process of drying, ami by consulting the market 'report we find thai even iu San Francisco "Allien'' apple is worth ten cents per pound more than ordinary dried apple, while in other trails the diflerenett is stilt greater, this would make a Uiller ence of $2UU on each ton of preserved fruit, and the capacity of a four.ilry fi.clory is said to be a ton or more each day ol 24 hours. The lime oc cupied in evaporating apples and pears at the Salem factory is usually about tourdioiirs. A factory of this kind situated where a 'supply ot fruit an be mm, can ne starieu iu j line on cherries, then as the season ad vauces it may bo run on plums, pears' and npphs, continuing on the fatter as long as they will keep say till March tliui running from eight lo ten iiiotiiln during the year. Now, what would be ihe proceeds of such a factory in a run of even eight months or 21)0 duis? One ton each day of Allien fl pie, worth (to ship I'.asi) riu'lil here in Oregon 8300 gold coin, or SG 1,000 for ihe entire season's run. But if cherries, plums and pears can be found sufficient to supply such I a factory for two months ol ihe tune 1 1 he receipts will be swelled to at least J7a. 0 ', the profits on the latter kind doing so much inure than on apples. A factory of TiVuT'Tlryers can be built lor $1 1,0 10, or less, including riuhl and all expenses I" completion, ready tor work, alter which no money is to be n ut out of the country for niai Ti.il , but alt is produced here in most wonderful abundance and per fection. What other branch of home mnnu Inciiiring will produce ao much f-r the mine outlay? Ana1 vail within ourselves. We lake the lilieny to quote Irom the Twelfth Annual Cata - inr of it.v. IJ.

Several of our Republican contem poraries havo made reference to the present liabilities of the Slate as so much indebtedness created by a Dem (ici aiiundniiiiistraiioii. They ignore the lact that there were large liabilities, left over from the Wood's Adminis tration tor his successor to pay; that May embezzled $15,0.10 that the Stale had worse than no Penitentiary; that more than a quarter of a million ol doilurs have been judiciously ex pended on necessary public buildings, while no building tax has been levied, and all these moneys have been drawn from funds raised for (tiirrent expetiscs of the State only. They do not lake into account that in ihe ordinary expenses of Hie present Administration are included more than double the objects of expendi ture, than were met by ihe Wood's Administration; such as support of li e Ai'i'ioiiltural College, Institutions foilhe Blind, the Mules, and Indigent Orpliatis, Tug Boat Subsidies, ihe in creased labors of the Board of School Land Commissioners, the jfjasiern Oregon Land Office, Her.llh officers at Astoria, and Empire City.the Office of Superintendent ot Publiu Instiuo. tion, Hie Slate Geologist, the increased compensations ot Judges of. the Supreme Court, and oilier new and necessary public expenses which taken in the aiMienale amount to more than the entire oornpeusation of all the Stale officials who held the offices which were in existence when Gibbs and Woods were in office. During all this lime, while more than double the obiecis of expendi tures have been created by the Leg islature, mid have been necessary to our progress and honor as a State, no means whatever have Iffeen provided to meet the increased expenses. A four mill lax is all that has been col lected tor current resources of tho Stale. To make this meagre allow ance cover the tienernl expenditures, all expenses within control of the Executive have bein most closely administered. The Penitentiary does not now cost one ihiid - the amount per convict that it did during any for mer Administration, and ihe prison is on the road of self support. The ex pense of keeping the iusuae has beeu greatly reduced. At the meeting of the next Legit-1 lalure, tho session will bo held in the new Stale House, and all expense tor rents of public buildings will be cut off. The current expenses as they now stand are within the current resources of the Si ale. The Legislature must cease making appropriations without providing means by revenue to cover them, general appropriation bills can not be vetoed without stopping tho wheels of government. It is the work of the people's Representatives to make retrenchments, and the work of adminisuaiive ollicers to keep within their allowances. To ihe credit ot our Stale officers, we can say that this ha ocen faithfully done. ' . It.is undoubtedly tho policy of our Stale Constitution lhal mere shull be no public dt-ht nil all. ' The hue decision ot our Supreme Cnnvt will lend strongly to strength en the spines of liuure Legislative bmlies iu doing their duties in two directions: 1st, they must not misap propriations 'without knowing where the money is cumin; from with which to nav ihe warrants issued under them; and ?nd, they must provido resources siillicient to cover llier ap propriations or the warrant innwn under them will not ho paid. These strictly carried out will give an ex cellent lone to our public finances. There should bo no difficulty in maintaining this healthy policy.

Some weeks since, it will be re membered, an account of the loss of the Euxine by tiro, was received from St. Helena, at which place the5 cap tain and the greater part of the crew had safely arrived; but it neems that a third boat, containing the second mate and eight men, was believed to have been lost. Fortunately, how ever, .this .was not the case, for it ap pears by news received from Batavio, that part of this missing boat's crew had been picked up and taken to that port by a Dutch vessel. Fol lowing is a report made by one of the survivors: "We sailed from Shields in the Euxine, of Liverpool, and under the command of Captain Murdock, bound to Aden, and all went well until the 5th of August, when an alurui of lire was made. Nothing daunted, our captain imme diately ordered all available hands to work. "At first we thought the fire had been got under, but on tne second day it again broke out, and do all we could we saw no chance of ex tineuishinjr it, so it continued gaiu- iug on us for two long dnys and nights, when on the fourth day from the discoery of the fire it was found impossible to remain longer on board. We then abandoned the ves sel iu three boats; in ours altogether we numbered nine. We then en deavorod to make the - island of St. Helena, but our boat got separated from tho others during the night, and finding that we weromuch to the westward of the island, we held consultation, aud it was agreed to steer for the Brazil .coast: but an other accident happened, . which caused tho Joss of the boatswain aud two other men. It was that of the caDsiziner of our boat; consequently what little provisions wo had in the boat was lost. . "In these straits, and clinging to the bottom of our boat and reduced to the very last extremity, almost to frenzy, and hunger having gained upon us with its agonizing pangs,' we were compelled to oast lots among ourselves as to which or us should be sacrificed, and it fell to the lot of an Italian, the only one with us, who bore his fate with the utmost resigna tion. Had we beeu able to have borne the hunger for a few hours longer, this poor fellow's life would have been spared, for the same af ternoon a sail hove in siglit. wnat a tovoiis moment!, noticing our signs, she made for us, and lowering a boat, we were, with difficulty taken on board. We could scarcely rondor ourselves the least assistance, being much reduced, almost as weak as babes. The vessel proved to be the Java packet, bound from Holland to Java. We were landed at Batavia on the 3d of November, having -re-covered much of our lost strength."

BKlOK'H BABY, Thomas Briggs, of Detroit, has a boy baby, about ten months old, who is admitted at the beginning of this article to look just like his father, and to be the smartest boy baby in Detroit. xesterday morning the child was sitting on the floor, playing with five or six big coat buttons, on a string, and taking an occasional nibble at an apple to bring out his first crop of teeth. : , Mrs. Briggs and a neighbor, were talking away as only women can gos sip, when the baby hid the buttons under a mat, and started to -finish the apple. A bit of the skin got into his throat, and he gave a whoop and a cough and pawed the air and rolled over on his head. . Oh, them buttons! he has swal lowed them buttons," cried the mother, as she yanked him up and shook him. ' "Pound him on the back, yelled the other woman, trying to hold his legs still. . "Run for the neighbors!" cried Mrs. Briegs, excitedly. "Oh, he'll die ! he'll die I" exclaimed the other, us she ran out. . And the neighbors came' in, and made him lie on his stomach, aud cough and then turned him ou his back and rubbed his stomach, and jogged him about all sorts of ways until ne got inaa ana went to uowi in if. Then a boy ran for Briggs, ond then Britras ran for a doctor, and the doctor came and choked the baby and ordered sweet oil and a musturd plaster, and told them to hold him ou his back. Everybody knew that those six buttons were lodged in the baby s throat, because he was red m the face aud becuuse ho strangled as he howled aud wept. ' , Thuy poured down swoot oil, and put mustard across him, and wept' over him and the mother said sho never could forgive herself. Boys drove by calling, "slab woud for sale," and the scissors man went by shout ing "Sharp, sharp!" but that dis tressed crowd held" the baby down, aud shod their tents over his whole length. 'The doctor was looking se rious, and Briggs was thinking that he hadn't done any thing to deserve such a blow, When one of the women pushed the mat, and discovered the buttons. ' Tlieu everybody laughed aud danced, and they kicked the sweet oil bottle under the bed, threw the mustard plaster the doctor and Mrs. Briggs hugged the howling au- o-cl to her bosom, and called him her wapsv-topsv, nopsy-uropsy uiue cherub."

They w ere exceed ingly swift runners, being exercised from childhood and encouraged by rewards to excel in speed. Stations were, fixed at distances of about six miles opart, where small towers wore built in which dwelt one ou more couriers ready at all times to sot -out witb dispatches. As soon as a cour ier arrived at one of these towers one of those waitiug received from him the message he bore, usuully ex pressed in paintings, and at once started for the next stage, aud tints the tidings were conveyed to the capital in an incredibly short time, When the dispatches were of an im portant nature, the courier wore some badge or was dressed in a man ner indicative of the intelligence en trusted to him. For instance, if it related to a defeat in battle, he trav eled with hair dishevelled, preserving a strict silence until the message was delivered to the person to whom it was directed; on the otlior hand, if he brought news of a victory, his hair was neatly tied with a colored string, about his body was wrapped a white cotton cloth, on his left urm he carried a shield and in his right hand a sword which he brandished as if in combat, singing at the satrjo time the Glorious deeds of the, victim.
