There is some-thing almost unseemly in the spectacle of a h;ilf-dozen young married women, walking eff with some of the best partners in the room, while a row of girls are silting neg lected ag.iiust the wall. Neither ig norance nor thoughtlessness can be pleaded in excuse.- Women thorough ly know women, whatever clso they don't know ; and there is not oue of them that is not vividly conscious of what heart-burning it causes to a poor young girl to hear the music and watch the many twinkling feet of a ball room, and play the almost ignominious part of a passive spec tator. Grown up women clutching at all the toys or sweatmeats of a Christmas tree at a juvenile party, would not be a more unnatural spec tacle. Grown up men eager to win the stakes at a round game got np for lads at home for tne holiday?. would not be more cruel or inhuman. We are constrained to plead for ten derness and consideration orr tbe part of the young women who are rxiar- ried toward young women wflo are not.

GOOD EfcsOLUTIONS STIRBING SPEECH ESEXCELLENT LETTER FROM S. H. Bi'fcORMICK, ESQ. Pursnant to a call riade in the Oregonian on the 25th instant, for a meeting of the Irish American citi zens of Portland, the mceiing assem bled and was called to brder by Cnpt. Dan. O'Regan, and on motion j. II. Egan was chosen Chairman, and D. J. Malarky Secretary. The following resolutions were read and adopted ! Wukueas : The time has now arrived. w.h ait becomes the duty of every citizen of !ais Republic, to take his position on the political issues now presented to the people for their careful consideration ; and. whereas, it. is being asserted by professed friends and enemies, that the Irish-American citizens of this country are opposing, and antagonistic to, the efforts of the Union party in the reconstruction of the States formerly in rebellion, and also opposed to the principles of a free government aud further opposed to the perpetuation of this glorious republic, together with many other calumnies, calculated to provoke a hostile feeling, create sectionalism, and cause our actions to be looked upon with distrust ; be it therefore. , Resolved, That we a: e in fIvor of the amelioration and freedom of every peo ple in every Country on the globe, and we abjure, repudiate and conde mil the pro fessions of thotfe men who ask for them selves and their country those rights and privileges which they t?eny and refuse to others. Et o'ved, That we endorse tile acfions Of C-ngress in their efforts to reconstruct and perpetuate this Union. Resolved. That we hold it to be the du ty of this Government to protect its citi zens at home and abroad, on land or at sea, in their rightful possession of life, liberty and property. Resolved, That we are in1 favor of in structing our Representatives in the State Legislature to memorialize Congress, through our representatives there, to re peal section six of the reciprocity treaty, entered into between the United States and Great Britain in 1818, and by virtue of which President Johnson ordered Gen eral Meade to arrcfit and disarm citizens of the United States, and by virtue of which they were arresteti ami iir'prisou'e'd. Resolved. That we pledge our undivid ed support to the election of the nominees of the Union State and County Conven tions, using all honorable means for the success of the ticket. Resoled, That Ulysses" S. Grant, the lion of war. and the scourge of traitors, is our first and only choice for the next President of the United States, and we devote ourselves to that hero's interest in the coining campaign The following cotftmftnication from S J. McCorm'ck was, on motion, rc cei ved and road : Dear Sit Ina.'mich as I am pre vented by indisposition from being present at your meeting this evening, I desire to assnre you and those whose principles will be ihere represented, that any action which may be afceii any resolutions which may be adopted will have my frearly, ciy earnest and unreserved approvaf. I had the honor to be one of the original signers 10 the first call ever issued for a convention of men of Union principles, in this State ; the call which led to the formation of that organization whose principles will lie represented in the meeting tonight. Previous to tfrts action I had labored zealously, and to the besl of my abili ty for the catfse. of that noble speci men of genuine Democracy Stephen A. Douglas. My convictions were, that the principles laid down in the platform upon which Mr. Douglas was nominated, were the only true principles by which the nation could be saved from civil war- and rescued from the political danger's that then threatened to destroy its vitality The election passed by,' afid Mr. Douglas through the opposition, secession,' and fciaehinatious of men professing Democracy -7-was defeated During the campaign the Democrats who advocated Douglas Democracy were a'ssailed and villiQi-d in every form by the Breckinridge wing of the party. No epithets were too bitter, no calumny" too great for our seced- ii g friends to cast upon those who upheld the glorious banner of "the Little Giant.7 lint, as the creut ma jority of Mr. Douglas' friend.? discov ered that to keep up a separate poli tical organization would only aid in dividing the Unioa: sentiment at the North, and thereby gie the reins of government into the hands of the country's worst enemies, the great majority of them wisely concluded to follow in the footsteps 6t their il lustrious standard-bearer, and merge themselves into that party" Which de sired to see this glorious Union pre served intact. With these conyic tioni,- and in common with a majori ty of the Douglas Democracy iu Ore gon,-f gav'e my sympathy and sup port to the cause of the Union. Dur ing the past few years, I have taken no part whatever in polities, for the all -sufficient reason,- (time and again expressed to my friends, who desired the use of my name in connection with some oice of trust or profit,) that, being a prominent member of the Fenian organization I did not de sire that ray name should be associat ed with any political movements, and every member of the organization in Oregon will certify to the truth of this statement, that during my term of office iu ih'i brolherh'ootf, b poli tical matters Were ever 'mtr'odaced in to its' ran'.Js, rior were diiy alla'sions ever made by the press" of either poli. tical party that the "Fenian vole" would be cast for or agair.st any par ticular party, in tne coming canvas's, I sincerely hope that Irishmen like the men of every ether nationality represented in this Republic will vote as becomes free-thinking, high minded men, who have an abiding interest in the welfare of this, their adopted country, nnd not r.- tho merr hewers of wood and drawers of wa ter" for every pot house politician who thinks he can use '-the Irish vote." 'I he Irish American citizens of this Republic have nobly contributed their full share in shaping the course of events in this country," and have contributed not only the brains but the tfloud even of some of their bravest an I best men towards placing this nation upon the pinnacle of pre-em inence which she at present er joys. Having thus aided in the erection of the most gigantic temple of liberty the world has ever witnessed, let us not, either by our votes or our ac tions, do ought, to desecrate the sacred temple of freedom. No party or political organization, has any claims upon '-the Irish vote," and if Irishtr en desire to preserve their own self re spect, they will cast aside the fetters of party which has bound them in the past, and vote untfammeled in the future. Vote to upho!d the flg that waved over the grave of the gallant Cor coran ; vote to sustain that flag that wascrimsomd wijh the, blood if our brothers of the Irish Brigade ; vote tf) uphold those principles and I hat f!ig which Thomas Francis Meagher so eloquently eulogised with his ton gue, and so nobly defended with his sword. Vote to keep intact this Union which our fellow Fenian Martjrs Kelley, O'Connor, Moriarly, Cindon, and a host of others have battled fur, and whose preservation they won at the point of the bayonet. Tote to unite, to build up, to fortify rather than to dissever, to tear down, to de stroy the Temple of Liberty which is typified in these United States. In fine, vote as independent men who love their adopted country more than party who place the preset vatipn of our present peace as a principle far more dear to them than the obsolete and useless trumpery of by-gone resolutions and party platform1. There are but two political parties in this State there can be but two positions for any citizen to take for or against this Union. Let us, there fore, as Irishmen, as citizei s of this land wherein all our hones are center ed; and in which we behold all that makes life dear let u 1 say, ask ourselves the question, On which side of the gr H.I issue stood Meagher and Corcoran and the host of men who fonght and fell for their coun try's: canse, and wlWe to-day stands Sheridan that noble monument of Irish-American heroism ? Let us ask ourselves these questions, and the an swer will be plain the dead feb fight ing for the cause of the Union, the living battle for it to day. Then, I would say to my fellow countrymen, "go the'u fttrd do likewise j" stand in the footsteps of your representative men, the Very mention of whose names makes the blood in your veins course quicker w ith the genuine Cel tic pride, nnd by so doing, believe me, dear sir, they w ill not only ele vate themselves in the estimation of their fellow men, but tnev will feel a pride within themselves of having done their whole duty to that land which, next to their own ancient Erin, should be dearegt to their hearts, and upon the preservation of this Union depends in a great measure the ac complishment of that, inestimable boon, the freedom of Ireland, for I hold that from this nation w ill some day arise a power wlrch will over throw monarchy in Irtdand, and win for our ancient home a place among the nations of the earth. With best regards and warmest wishes for all that pertains to my na live or adopted country's welfare, I subscribe myself your friend, , S. j. McCORMICK. : To Capt. Daniel O'R.-gan, I'ortland. The meeting was then addressed by Captain 0'Regan, J. II. Egan, W, J. Butler and D. J. Malarky After which, on motion, an Irish Union Club was formed, and twenty three members signed the roll. Af ter which the Meeting- adjourned, sob ve6t to the call of the Chairuj'an. The ancient Romans, in sdrte respects, were in advance of the pres ent age in thefr practical physiologi cal knowledge. This is especially the case in the habits of the women. They seem to be fully aware that a hardy race must be born of healthy mothers, and consequently any usage 6r practice likely to affect injuriously the health of women was Viewed by the State with suspicion. The mus cles were systematically educated. Frequent bathing w;as required by law1. Large bath houses were estab lished, which were places of common resort. For several cen furies of the best ages of Rome it Was a criminal offense for a mother to drink intoxi eating liquors.' At the time of our Savior on earth, and for a long peri od" after, it wa3 considered infamous for a Roman woman to taste wine. For a guest to offer a glass of wine to one of the household Was looked upon as an insult and implied a want of chastity. How sadly we need a few 6f those old customs in these lat ter days,- We have received the first num ber of the Blue Mountain Tiiiics, a paper published at La Grande. It presents a good appearance, contains a variety of local aud other news and ! 3 thoroughly TCnion in politic KOTES OS SCIENCE. Extinct Varieties cf the Parrot. Three kinds of biidi, which were probably in existence a century ago, have now disappeared. These were the Epiormis or Madagascar; the Drbn'tes of Mauritius, and the Soli taire of Roderigries; a small island in the Indian Ocean; falf way be tween Madagascar aud Australia. Artificial Nervine. Prof. Wurz', of the College of France, has suc ceeded, by a synthetic process, in forming a strong base, identical with that first obtained by Liebrich in 18(55, who subjected a crystallizable substance derived from the brain, and containing phosphorous and nitrogen; to ttie action of strong baryta Water. The synthesis of Wurtz shows the practical use of types and substitu tions, of which he is, at prtceht, the ablest advocate. Sanitary Success. From a paper read before the Society of Civil En gineers, in Exeter llall, London, by B. Latham, C. E , it appears that G50 towns are now governed by the Pub lic Health act of iBiS, and with great benefit to the various localities. Twelve towns were named in whit It cases of typhoid fever h-ad been re duccd from 40 to 15 per cent; phthis ic from 41 to 49 per cent. In one town, Croydon, the total savings in 13 years amounted to 239,893. Hottina. This powder invented by M Ilottin of Paris, will make lin en fire-proof without impairing its whiteness, when mixed with equal quantities of starch and gum. The powder is prepared by adding a little amtnoLia to an acid solution of phos phate of lime, and filtering wrth ani mal carbon, then evaporating until concentrated, when five per cent of silica is added;' the whole is then evaporated and the resulting crystals are pulverized. Powder for Cleaning Jeicclry. The high price of an excellent pow der much used by European jewelers in fl.iisliuig aiVd polishing gold, in duced Dr. V. Hoffman to analyze it. He found it consisted of 70 per cent of oiide of iron, dml SO per cent of chloride of ammonium (sal ammoni ac;. It is made by subjecting iron to the action of hydrochloric acid. After the hydrogen gas has ceased to escape, a solution of sal ammoniac is added. The precipitate is filtered at a very low temperature to prevent rapid evaporation. Oxy'campho'r.-rC: G. Wheeler' in a note to the French Academy of Sciences, describes the action of aque ous hypochlorous acid oc the essence of turpentine and on camphor. From one of the chlorinated compounds ob tained ne has been ab?e to separate a body containing 10 atoms of carbon, f(5 cf hydrogen, and two of oxygen, which crystal izes in white need.es, is soluble in alcohol, insoluble in water, and has an odor resembling camphor. Oxy camphor sublimates without de composition, and is isomorphous with the camphinic ucid of Berthelot. The Embryo Heart. Ilerr S L. Schenck has published a paper on the ph) sioloy of the embryo. Ex amining the heart of the chick in the egg of the fowl, he discovered that its movements are, at first, quite in dependent of the central nei Vous sys tem, and may be regarded as simple Contractions of the protoplasm.' When the heart is removed it sli'll beats, if maintained at a temperature of from 34 to 35 Centigrade. The most powerful micr6fcpe faifs to show any trace of nervous gangliaj hence, he concludes that the contrac tions of the heart are dae iHAiply to the action of heat ch the protoplasm. EfTed of Antiseptics o'ii Animalcu le.

Chlo ride and hyposulphite of sodium, chlorate of potash' arid a I urn', by os motic action, da used the creatures to burst; while a directly poisonous ac tion was produced by nitric,' sulphu ric, acetic,' and tarrnic acids, perman ganates, creosote, corosive sublimate, Cfuinia, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. Act-tic acid tand quinia produced tbe most powerful .ffect. Neither sala cin nor nitrate of strychnia exerted any immediate influence. A remarkable phenomeoon has appeared at Scottsville, 111. From pits dug to the depth of five or six feet, flames burst forth with a strong smell of sulphur. The inhabitants nre said to be very much alarmed, ET;d arrviva! h to be imminent, THE DE.VJ. STAR.lt CASE. Ye find in the N. Y. Tribune of the 12th iilt., the following concerning the cases of Benjamin Stark against A. M. Starr and others, regarding the title to certain real property in Portland. The case was taken to the Supreme Court of the United States from this District, on error. The Tribune says; This action was brought be-low to give I he title to certain lots in the city of Portland, State of Oregon, and to determine the validity of pat ent issued by the Government. , Ari act of Congress, of September ISoO, provided for donations of land to set tlers of Oregon the'rl resident, or who should become residents'befbro the fiist day of December of that y ear, who should occupy and culti vate the. same for tour consecutive yeafs. Benjamin Stark? afterward Senator Stark, from Oregon, oglaintd Dec. 8tb, 18C0, a patent under this law," called the donation law. The day beforp, a patent was issued to the city of Portland, nnder the act of Congrts of Ju'y, 1944, commonly known by the title of the Town-site Law.- The question of law is, which of these two acts of Congress went ii to operation first; was the act of 184-1, a law in force in Oregon,, by virtue cf t he act organizing the Tcr O ritory ( 1848), prior to the enactment o; the donation law! The court be low held that it was, and the appel lees now so contend. The appellant . insists that it was not; and that the city of Portland (and the appellees deriving title from the city), have no title bv their patent. It is urged that the act of 1S44 applied only to surveyed lands, which are exempt from the opeiation of the pre empt tion ia. There were no surveyed lands in Oregon in 1850. The law of 1844, which was inapplicable, from the condition of the land in Oregon when' the donation law in ISJkJf was passed, was forbidden by the latter act from' being app!ied3o the grants made by it, and the repugnance IS such as necessarily to repeal the act of 1 844, if it could be supposed to have, been previously in force. The, appellees rely .upo:i the decision cf the General . Land Office as to-the force and eff-e't of the act cf 144; and their own interpretation 6f the? provisions cf the t;vo conflicting acts. The decision in the ca3o. will affect title to a large amount of land in the State of Oregon. " ,. A shrewd man in West Penn township, Pa., lately purchased sever al pounds of blasting powdert one of tho mills in his neighboi ho6d. Upn taking it home he found it t coarse for the purpose for which he intended it. What was to be done ? Why, it must be made finer of course ; so he procured a coffee mill, and emptying the powde proceeded to grind it. He had not made many revolutions ot tbe crank before there was a noise heard, and the room was filled with Sying fragments of coffee mill, window glass, furniture, crock-O ery ware nd Dutchman. The inge-Q nloaa experimenter Was not killed, but he Was badly burned, and we have no doubt that so'me time will again turn his attention to scientific researches in the pulverization of powder. The Democracy and the Ciii-i nese. A California paper says: "The Democracy have been making a great ado about Chinese, "but their practice is not, consistent with their preaching. A banquet :s to be giv en to the Chinese Ambassadors at San Francisco, and Governor Ilaight is to preside while Casseriy will make a speech.
