THE WONDERS OF MEsMERIsM.
A Remarkable Case.

The New York correspondent OF the Nation
al Intelligencer, notices an extraordinary case
of the power and reality Of the Mesmeric agency,
as exhibited in New York on The 10th, in the
presence OF Doctors Mott, Francis, Doane, Della
field, Rogers, and others-all of them men ac-
knowledsed TO stand in the front rank OF their

bulic state induced BY mesmensm, had a tumor
removed from her neck near the carotid artery.
The mesmeriser and surgical operator was DR..
Ber,ronnier, young man OF fine abilities, who
has recently arrived from Paris. The subject
submitted to The painful operation without the
slightest manifestation ofphysical pain or shrink

knife cut deep into The flesh. After the opera

medical and scientific men by this extraordinary
incident confrmatory as it is of the reality OF an
agency in nature, the existence of which they
have hitherto denied, and the attempts TO esta-

RANDOLPH OF ROANOKE
To The Editors of he Enquirer

WASHINGTON CRY, February 3d. 1915.
IN Senate today We had no report from the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, owing, it is said,
to The illness Of Mr. Archer, who was not in his
seal. A short Texas debate, however sprang up
on the presentation of 4 memorial from Michi-
gan, By Senator Porter praying, that, when Tex
as is annexed, Canada may also DC acquired as
a Just and proper balance, DC.
In presenting this memorial, Mr.. Porter took
occasion to make disguised attack on the propo-
sition TO annex Texas; avowing his belief oil the
propriety of granting their petition at the same
lime as measure of abstract Justice 10 the
North, &c.
This brought Mr.. Bagby, Of Alabama TO his
feet, who was very severe on the opponents OF an
nexation for thus endcavoring TO make antiTex-
as speeches TO thrust al the friends of the measure,
ere a fair and honest debate was commenced.
Mr.. Basby was followed by Mr.. Foster of
Tennessee. who briefly explained his position on
the Texas ques,ion-calling on The South 10 stand
by the measure as a Southern one, and arguing
to show that Porers fears OF Southern ascendar-
cy were entirely groundless, as the new country
ye, 10 be filled up North Of Sc degrees 30 minutes,
was sufficiently large for 5 States; whereas Tex
as, with Florida, could, under no circumstances,
be divided SO as 10 make more than six.
After the presentation of various other unim-
portant memorials, Mr.. Johnson Of Louisiana
presented The resolutions Of the Legislature OF his
State declaring that large majority of their peo-
pie were in favor of annexation, &c. He remark
ed, that the resolutions met his own concurrence
thoroughly thai he is now, and always has been
in favor of annexation; that he voted against The
treaty because he conceived il unconstitutional:
and that he had not as yet made up his mind
whether the resolutions passed By the House were
such as he could sustain or not.
He said he intended 10 give them lair trial
to listen alteniively 10 The expected report from
the communicate hear the arguments OF friends
and opponents Of the measure, and then to vote
as his Judgment should direct.
Mr.. Barrow followed his colleague, declaring
that he had heretofore been opposed TO annexation
and stood on the same ground now--that The
resolutions presented by Mr. Johnson ,rere mol
,nstrncHons-that il they had been, il would be
the same thing 10 him; as he regarded himself the
Senator OF the twenty-six States, not OF Loui-
siana In fact he denied the right OF his Legs-
laiure 10 instruct him or TO interfere in any man.
ner with his course here. He acknowledged that
the resolutions spoke the sentiments of large
majority OF Louisiana, but argued that their
sentiment on the subject could moi and should no,
control his action as Senator.
His short speech was unaduterated and undis-
guised Federalism and he closed ii by declaring
that Henry Clay had been cheated out Of the cleo
!oral vote Of Louisiana, &s.
