Lima, July 27, 1869, A diMcuity that promises to be serious in its results has occurred between the Prime Minister, Senor Ferreyros, and the fiscal department of the admints- tration, relative to a road contract. The affair is not likely to be settled for some time, and, meanwhile, both parties will keep up a department warfare of criminations and recriminations. The Arauco Indians, that have heretofore been the cause of So much trouble, now show a desire, signs real or pretended of a desire for peace, and have de- ated @ conciliatory message to Colonel Gon- wales.

The plan of operations which is just given on the authority of an Argentine correspondent is pure dosh, It might be done with iron-clad balloons, but certainly not while Lopez holds the mountain gaps with cannon and men. It is said from the camp that all the generals but the Comte d’Eu are against an attack in front, bné that he considers the only practicable course is to attempt an assault of Ascurra, the chief gap. Bat such is the nature of the mountain peee and the ground, or rather ewamp, in fromt of dt that cannon cannot ‘be got within range of the great intrenchment form. ing the outer defence of that gap, and, indeed, such 1s the case with all the gaps, they’ must be ap- proached through swamps or anarrow causeway which has been made for roads. Only nary. superior fYorces attacking at various points could hope to made a lodgement in the mountain, and the allies unfortunately havé not more than double the force of the Paragui s, Who have the advantage of commanding ali the approaches to the gaps, as well as the gaps (hemeelves—positions so strong that a battalion could hold them against a division. Tne Brazilians are most unwilling to entertain the idea that the task of expéliing Lopez is beyond the powers of the smail force they maintain in Para- guay. If one suggests that even if they do gain the top of the range Rac by Lopez he has all the mountain highlands of Paraguay in his rear to fall back into, and could delay even an overwhelming force for years in it, they reply, with stolid disre- gard of probabilities and even possibilities, that he ‘will be surrounded, that the Paraguayans will aban- don him, &c.

The commercial men and the unfortunate mudsiljg, whom the police amuse themselves by hunting to make into food for powder or Jack Grave, groan for peace; bui the former being matnly for- eigners, and the jatter of no account, their wishes have no weight in the councils of the throne. ‘The Itaborahy Ministry must be considered shaky in the knees at present, the Emperor being discon- tented with thelr want of energy in the prosecution of the war, and their House of Deputies getting restive under the snubbings of the Minisiers of Jus- tice and the empire, added to a general feeling of dis- gust at the diagraceful reclamations which the folly and 1) faith of the Minister of Agriculture has been causing in re ‘d to the {mma its and the colo- nists. The Chamber of Deputies is also greatly dis- satisfied with the delay in bringing forward the min- isterial measures, and on the 121h a pitched battle ensued between the malcontents and the Minister of Justice, over a motion to order the Com- mittee on Justice to report a bill on judiciary reform. The motion was seginaly signed by sixty- \nTee out of the 100 members, but the government whips induced twenty-four to ge their names scratched out before it was presented.

Below we give the correspondence between Mr. James Ashbury, the owner of the English yacht Cambria, and Mr. H.- Morton, secretary of the New York Yacht Club, relative to the proposed interna- tional yacht race for the possession of the Queen’s cup, won by the yacht America in 1851, and at pre- sent held by the New York Yacht Club, subject to certain specified conditions. There is sull a slight disagreement as regards the vexed question of measurement; but, providing no match can be agreed upon, the Cambria is offered the option of sailing over the annual regatta course of the New York Yaclt Club for the much coveted prize, Should this meet Mr. Ashbury’s approval the Cambria will prob- ably leave England for this city on or about the 27th instant, and there is not the slightest doubt but that her owner upon arriving here will be accorded a hearty and a friendly welcome by our hospitable yachtmen.

Itwank you for your communication and the en- closed certificates, giving the respective Custom House tonnage of the yachts Dauntless and Sappho, and now, for the information of your committee, I beg herewith to send you, as requested, the Custom House measurement of ‘the Cambria, which shows her to be 104 86-100 tons ag against 188 Royal Thames Yacht Club rule.

This statement, however, Was gnite unnecessary, if the race in question is to be on the basis of my challenge of the 34 of October, 1868, which clearly specifies Royal Thames Yacht Club measurement, @ ven and a half margin; and it will thereby be found that both these vessels are not eligible for the cup race. Long after the challenge was given I was ad- vised by your correspondence that the measurement must be made by the Custom House rule of the conn- try to which the challenging vessels belong. We are, therefore, at variance upon the mode of meas- urement, aud such betng the case I give the New York Yacht Club the option of measuring your se- lected vessel and the Cambria by the Royai’ Thames Yacht Club ruie, or the Custom Honse rule, by which the latter has been measured; and I give, as before, @ margin of ten per cent.

MENT OF SCIENCE, Reading of Interesting PapersRare and Wonderful Experiments—Telegraphing a Maw’s Pulse~A New Triumph of Telegraphic science, SALEM, Mass., August 20, 1860. The meeting of savans here continues to be well attended and tne interest Increasing, fhe general meetings of the Assoctation yesterday were neces sarily brief on account of the sectional gatherings at which a number of scientific papers were read and considered. Section A was presided over by Pro- fessor Norton, of New Haven. The first paper was on the Classification and Atomic Weights of the Elements, with reference Determinations. The views ad- vanced by Gustavus Henrichs, the author, were curious, apa for unexplained reasons, refrained from going into the subject as deeply as many desired. The next paper was op the ‘Deter- mination of the Mechanical Equivalent Heat by means of the modern ice and cooling mactines,” by P,. H. Van der Weyde. Section B was subdivided, and some thirty or forty new members were elected. Professor Agassiz presided at the meeting of Seo- tion B, Professor D. Cope, of Philadelphia, read an interesting paper on two new genera of extinct cetacw. He exiibiied a porton of au incisive tooth of the species Hernicauiodon. ‘This tooth was evidently used to root ap the shore plants on the shores of New Jersey. He also exhib- ited a portion of a mandible of a cetacean mammal which had rudimenta! teeth, Mr. Cope did not know whether the speciinen was that belonging to @ por- poise or an osqualiadon, He also showed the teeth of a gigantic rodent, allied to the chinchilla. It must have been as large as a grizzly bear. He gave it the name of Ainbdlysira. 10 was obtained at St. Martin’s Island, in the West Indies, {n the same rock was found a human implement, made out of a kind of a shell, a piece of the lip of the Strombus Gigas The speaker considered man an Autochtou. Professor AGassiz thought the manati (the sea cow) to be an embryonic form of pachyderus, not cetacea. He then spoke of the encroachments of the sea on the land at tie mouth of the Amazon aud Orinoco rivers. The formation of ihe bast Indda islands, it was the opinion, had been caused by the washing away of lands by tie sea, Mr. EB. 8. MORSE Lext read a paper™“On the Hurly mmlcroscopre animals fourkt wo Stas? Stages of Brachiopods,”* living on seaweed. Professor Morse lamented that, although the embryology of bracttopods 1s well de- termined, there is little popular interest and littie general knowledge of this interesting subject. The explanations mae by chalk sketches op a black- bourd of this animal were interesting to tose inti- imate with the subject, a8 it anvoived @ beautiiul de- monstration of the principles of embryology. Professor C. H. Hironoock read a paper on the “Ammonoosuc Gold Fleid in New Humpsnire and Vermont.” He stated that during the progress of the geological survey of New Hampanive the bounds of the new gold feia had been traced out, extending in a narrew belt from Bellows Falls norti- wardiy along the Connecticut river into the dividing ridge between Canada and Maine. ‘The principal New Hampshire gold mine is at Lyman, The vein is fourteea feet wide, composed chiety of clear quartz, carrying galena, ankerive aad py- rites. A careful ser ys by Professor Seely, of D York, showed that nine-tentits of the goid was derived from the quartz, the whole amounting to nineteen dollars to the ton, while the average ractical yield had beeu fourteen dollars to the ton, The amount of coin now in circniation from this mine 18 $16,000, ‘I'his Meld covers several town- ships, and there are veins enough to give a profit cupation to several miming companies. A HAMLON read @ paper on tne gems of the United States. {t treated of the diamoad of the Southern States, the incomparable tourmalines of Maine, the tine bery!s of Massachusetts. the sap- phires of Montano, the garnets of Colorado and New Mexico, the turquoise of New Mexico, the topaz of Connectisut, the amethyst of Rhode Islund and Maine, &c.. and was illustrated by a neck- lace, brooch, containing many of the nest of these stones, The sapphire, diamond and emer- alds were tound near the surface. Mr. Hamlin ex- uibited a parnre of American gers, containing nearly 150 stones, many of which Had not been de- scribed, among theo tie red, blue, green, yellow, pink aud white tourmatine, and the sapphires ‘and the Bergh of neurly aii the colors known to the species. The afternoon session of section A was devoted principally to mathematics, physics aad chemistry, and the following among other papers were read:— 1. On the Determmation of the Mechanioel Equiva lent of Heat by means of {he modern ice and cooling machines, by P. H. Van der Weyde; 2. On the Ol sification and the Atomic Wetghts of the so-call Chemical Elements, with Keference to Stas’ Deter- minations, by Gustavas Hinrich: y iramite of West Virginia, by Heory in Chemical Geogony, in three parts:—Part Prozoic Atmosphere and the Ocean of the Zoic Da Part 2, Zoic History from a Chemical View-Point. Part 3 Chemical Revelations of a Final Zolc Catas- trophe, Henry Wurtz. iu section B Professor Tuomas Meehan, of Phia- Aelphia, read & paper on whe laws which govern the production of sexes in plants, in Which It was stated that the stronger and more vigorous the axiae and stem growth the greater was the cohesion Jeaves to the stems. By following the same line of observation face las been discovered, which made it evident that similar laws of vitality governed the production of sexes in plants. In the case of trees an examination would show very vigorous growth on towards maturity, oF the age necessary for productive or reproductive processes. In the oak, the male Mowers appear as soon as the leaf buds open in spring; but the female flower only appears after the shvot has achieved some vigor. In ull other plants of this family—in the alder, hazel, walrint, hornbeams, &c.—the male flowers were always in the weakest direction, the females in the strongest. So in the sedge grasses (cyperacea) the apex was not always the most vizor- ous; but when it was the female flowers were there. Vigorous growth was only one form of vitality. Power of endurance was another, The hardiest 1n- dividuals among Norway spraces pushed frst in to leaf, and these were far more productive of female flowers. Herrmaphrodite flowers were not so good as those Which had the sexes‘in separate Mowers for observing this law, bat yet abnormal forms showed the existence of the same law. The conclusion the speaker arrived at was that tu the bighest types of vitality only which take on she female form, and snggested that probably the same Jaws prevailed in the autma} world, but contented himseir with the bare suggestion. A brief discussion foliowed the reading of the va per, after which Professor 0. C, Marsh described a reyiatkaole locality of vertebrate remains in the ter- tlary of Nebraska. ‘At the evenlug session a namber of papers of tn- terest were read. [here was aiso a general session of the association heid in Lyceum Hail, at which a series of rare and interesting experiments were wit- nessed, The sybject for evening was the demon- stration of a@ remarkable case of malformation of the thorax, or chest) being the entire avsence of the breast’ bone, allowing of a complete exi- bition of tie mouons of the heart. Dr. Eugene A. Groux, a native of Hamburg, and now «# practising phystcian tn Williamsburg, is the possessor of such @ curiously formed frame, which is regarded as the most extraordinary depart- ure from the norma! structure in a living, healthy being ever offered to sctentific observation, He at- tended school regularly auring his youtu, jotning in all the sports of his playfellows. At Ue age of fifteen he went to London, where fe was visited by the principal physicians, On his return to Hamburg he was placed in a drug store, but he was soon attacked with p’eurisy in bis right side which left him very feevie. In 1851 he began the cour df Europe, where ais case excited universal attention, and in 1856 he was retained for some time in Russia, against bis will, by government authority. Yn 1868 he visited America, returning in 1860 tw attend medical lectures in Gottingen, where he re- ceived the degree of M.D. in 1862, Afier walking the hospitals of London and receiving nomerons diplomas, he removed to Williamsburg, where he lias since remained in successful practice. A number of photographs and drawings tinstra- tive of Dr. Groux’s case were exhibited to assist the audience ib the Investigation and experimeuts, and by means of belis and feathers placed upon different ‘parts of his breast the beats were made both audible aud visible. Two physicians were imvited from the awadience, one of whom applied a stethoscope two the breast, while the other held bis finger on the puise of the right hand. Dr. Groux then took a deep Lm og and, compressing his lungs, the motions of the heart were made to cease for several secouds. By slow inspiration the flow of bleod was partially urrested and the auricles filled with blood so as to appear swollen. India rubber tw with glass extremities, filled with different colored fluids, were also applied tn Such a Manner as to show the suceessive portions of each pulsation. ‘The experiments at the City Hospital in Boston by which throbs of the human puise were traus- mitted by means of electricity to Salem were co: ducted with great success. ‘The medical part of 1 experiment was ler the charge of Dr, F, 1, Knight and the electric part under the charge of Mr. Joseph B. Stearna, President of the Franklin Telegraph Line, assisted by Mr. J. 0. ' mauager. Mr. hae og Millikin, manager of the Western Unton ‘Telegraph Line, was also present. ‘The instru- mept used for this delicate work i# one which was devised about ten = ago. It operates tn the following manner:— Patient with whom the experiment is to be tried sity in @ chair and places his arm upon @ cushioned rest. ‘The pulsa- Hon is then communicated from the wrist by & col- umn of water, which is containea in an elastic tube, which fs terminated at each extremity by & glass bulb, covered with an eiastlc membrane.

The exoeri- 3 ments at the City Hospital last evening began at half-past nine. the first was with a convalescent Whose pulse beat at the usual rate of speed. Each throb was given with perfect distinctness. Connection was then made with Salem, and Word soon returned that the result there was sat- isfactory. The next experiment was With Mr. Foi- fom, whose pulse had been greatly accelerated by stimulants, This also worked beautifully. The third trial was with Dr. Olark, who had greatly re- duced his pulse kh dose of veratrum. The rate of pulsations in this case waa about tfty-two to the minute. The next was a case of chronic pneu mona, This patient’s pulse was found to deat at the rate of 122 throbs per minute, and each was distinctly worked by the electrical machinery both here and at Sa.em. The best expertment was with @ patient with the organic disease of the hear!. fils pulse beat very wregularly and created quite @ sensation at both places. In the evening Dr. B, A. Gould, of Cambrulge, the president of the jast annua) session, delivered bis valeaictory address in the Tabernacle church, after which Mrs, Walcott held a levee at her residence. Third Day’s Proceedings—Iunteresting Papers Trichina Spiralls—Coal and Iron nm China Scientific Education. SALEM, Masa., Aug. 21, 1809, The proceedings of the American Association for the Advancement of Sctence, yesterday were of pecu- Har interest, Some, if not all the papers read, were of great interest, and the facts developed-cannot but add much to the general stock of important scientific information. After @ brief generai meeting the association formed into sections A, B and ©, In section A pa- pers relating to mathematics, physies and chemistry were read as follows:—Professor EB. B, Elliott, of Washington, gave a life table of American seagoing vessels, derived from the career of 26,738 vesvels, of which 4,165 were known to be in existence. The: table showed that out of 1,000 vessels, 584.4 survive 10 years, 219.6 20 years, 57.2 30 years and none 5 yeara. The average duration of ships 1s 13.5 ye of those which have been bnilt 10 years, 9.4 years louger: built 20 years, 7.2; 30 years, 6.2; 40 years, Professor Peirce expressed his interest ip the paper and a desire that a similar table might ve made for English veasels, to see if the superior eau- cation of English sea captains would be evinced, 5 ‘The same gentieman also gave the values of the standard monetary units in which the United States securities are quoted in the commercial centresol Europe. In London the firty-four Roce sterling, at which a dollar is rated, are really equivalent to $1,095; the Frankfort standard, two and a half silver guiden, to $1.0144; at Paris, $1.00645; Antwerp. 31,0226; Bremen, $1.0989; Amsterdam, §1.00¢5; Ber- im, #1.0059; Harhbarg, $1.0771. Professor A, ©. Twining, of New Haven, presented a demonstration of the assumed axiom in Kuchid that “there can be but one parailel to @ given line through a given point," Mr. Wiillam Ferrel, of Cambridge, gave some re- sults of a discussion of tide operations at the Bos- ton Dry Dock and also at Brest in France, Professor W. A. Norton, of Yale College, comiunu- nicated the principal results of a series of exper: ments which he had made to teat the theoretica: laws of the Spa of beams exposed to a traax- verse strain. Professor T. S. Hunt, of Montreal,,.read some notes on the chemistry of copper ‘‘on the ve- locity of the electric current over telegraph wires,"” by Protessor G. W. Hough. Mr..David Murray explained an improved method of observing meteoric showers. Mr, Pliny BE, Chase, of Putl- adeiphia, had found, by examinimg the records kept at the Pennsylvania Lospital for forty- four years, confirmation of the conclusions of Loomis and others, that cloudiness, rainfall and temperature are each controlled, to some degree, by the Toaar phases. Aso, that with a certain degree of opposition between the lunar curves of rainfali and temperatare seemed to indicate a partial de- pendence of the temperature intiuences upon the tidal currents im the aumosphere, as well as upon direct radiation. Applying the same process to the case of four planets, results were obtained similar and even more strongly marked, ‘Tde first paper reas section B was by Professor J. Baker Edwards, of Canada, on the ‘Trichina Spirals,” The professor stated that the worm was first discovered in 1842, and was for a long time re- garded as harmieas. in 1860 Professor Zencker, of Germany, first traced this disease to the eating of diseas pork. Since that time it has been studied in various animals, and its resuits investigated. The worm destroys life by reducing Muscular energy, and py operating upor the nerves so as to Interrupt vitality. Its naturai history 18 pretty well made up but 18 not yet tncor- porated in the books, and the speaker thought a Touch larger number than they were aware of su! fered from this disease, which often proves fatal In consequence of the physicians not recognizing It in the diagnosis, Several cases had lately occurred in Canada unaer hia observation. In one family a mother had died from it after suffermg thnee weeks, and # daughter in six weeks, In another case, where the patients Were cured a portion of flesh was taken out and the worms discovered. The patients recovered in about eight weeks with impaired health. Dr. T, 8. Cobboid had found a period of sixty-nine days sufficient for the development of the yor muscle flesh worms of the human subject tnto the sexually mature aduit trichina of the dog. If all the worms were caicarously encysted a delay of from three to six days tht be expected before in- testinal writation would be @ marke: sysmptom. But im cases where te wi is were young and free in the muscle development might take place in a few hours, and rapid multiplication ensve before other encysted worms should be released from capsules. Thus succession of fresh irritations to the muscular and nervous sys- tem might be expected from the frst few hours to a period of eight or nine weeks. In the fatal cases ex- hicago and Hamilton no single case of encysted trichina was found in the flesh, but in the Montreai cases one or two distinct and complete cysts were extracted from the man’s leg. This was eight weeks after eating pork, when the symptoms had somewhat abated, but considerable pain still felt tn the muscles. The great shock to the system, which frequently terminates fatally, appears to result from excessive geveration of the worms at any one period; thus young and healthy persons are frequently killed sooner than older and more feeble persons, the reasons being that in the former case probably more food is eaten, digestion 1s more rapid, nausea more readily overcome by active exertion, aud the breeding of the worms becomes excessive and continuous. In the Hamilton cases the young woman died in three weeks, whilst her mother survived six weeks after eating the fatal repast. In 1866 some vainable ex- periments were conducted in reference to the pro- pagation of these worms by Dr. T. Spencer Cobbold, ‘whose researches on Cestotd Entoza place him at the head of Engliah authorities on such subjects. After feeding animals with trichinous food, seven experiments on birds all proved negative. Three sheep, two dogs, one pig and one mouse also gave negative results. Nine cases were successful, viz.:— Four dogs, two cats, one pig, one Guinea pig and one hedgehog. While we might, therefore, conclude that birds and herbivorous mammals were very un- likely subjects for infection by this meana, it was also found that other ‘is, as the dog and pig. for Instance, might partake of the food and yet escape infection, ‘Puis helyed to explain the recora- ed facts that large parties have eaten of trichinous food in company, and some had been killed, others suffered slightly, and, agaip, some escaped aito- gether. At the conclusion of the reading of the paper Pro- fessor Agassiz said be hoped that these diselosures would exert no disturbing influence upon the appe. tite of the public, for not alone pore but every other kind of meat contained such inhabitants, not trichi- nal, but similar in nature. He assured the associa- tion that no one could eat fish without eating some hundreds of such little creatures, and that If any- vody wished to avoid such things they would have to abstain from ant food. Other papers of interes were read by Professor ‘Thomas Meehan on the Nature of Glands in Acacia and Cassia; Visual Education, by Professor B. W. Hawkins of the Park, New York, in which he advised the establishment of museums im connection with public parksg While receiving impressions the powers of observation would be educated. Such mastitutions, he racumEs, would do more good than the reformatory institutions now existing; and he would have every name represented therein freety translated into simple and understandable language. ‘The present modern noma of education was lalse, he satd, when it withdrew boys at an early age {rom their mother’s influence, under the pretence that they must receive an education which it was impossibie promenade Agassiz, king to th sal ir , In speaking @ paper, sald he was satisfied that the basis of all future education would be the contemplation of the works of nature, and no longer the study of languages, the study of the human mind, or the process of mathematical reasoning ; for although these must form part of \i- beral education, they should come after the organs had been trained in seeing through observation ; and the mind taught to argue py comparing obser- vations. That was the first step in education, and all Mog followed in scholarship should come after- wards. At the close of Professor Agassiz’s remarks Pro- fessor James Orton read a paper on the Valley of the Atpazon, and Professor Albert S. Bickmore, of Madison University, read a paper on the Pistriba- tion of Coal, Iron and the Precious Metals of China. ‘The papers read at the meeting of Section C re- lated to archieology and technology. In the evening the retiring aident, Dr. B. A. Gould, delivered an address in the Tabernacle churdh, m the course of which he said that the opposition which had existed to scientiiic studies from theologteal and other sources Was referred to, and the change which had taken place within a few years in that et. With the eae of theological hostility, Professor Gould thought « new era would begin, and increased progress might be confidently expected both for science and for re- jigion. But 1 ought not to concealed that the omens were ess favorable for science in our own land elsewhere or there were peculiar obstacles here to be encoun- tered. These chiefly arose, directly or muirectly, iors, pn ee An our national aby meni assign value unmediate utility, and a. few estuns what real utility was, our people bi indirectly want of nition ppol oe he , could scarcely be credited. ‘he serious danger which was threatening the Upon Img oper ground, a thiy the speaker one is, and i 4 some length.
