THE GnosrLy RArpIxcs AT. 1ncnEsTER.
The Buffalo Courier. in an article upon
the Rochester knockings, publishes the
following funny anecdote and vouches tor
its truth. Il is really surprising that sensi-
bic people can still he found who will per,

A Young man called, n day or two since,
upon the ladies in whose keeping are the
Rochester spirits. His bearing was sad,
and his voice was tremulous with emotion.
Sorrow wns in his conntenence. and weed
was on his hat. lie sighed as he took
seat, aud the bystanders piticd him as they
saw him draw forth spotless handkerchief
and wipe away tear Tint had gathered IN
his eve. After few moments of silence
he took one of,he Indies aside, and request
ed. If consistent, to be put in comInun:ca-
tion with the spiritual essence Of his mo-
',her, and here he wiped his eyes rapid, ,
and sobhcd.
A period Of quiet clapsed and knock
was heard, signifying that the desired cor
respondence could be had, and With hes'.
ta,ing voice. the young man commenced
questioning the invisible one.
.How long had gone before you d'ed1'
A length Of time was stated.
.Where arc you now, mother!-are you

The knocking indicated that The spirit
was nj rest.
"Are- those of your friends who have

"Then yoa can recognise them per-

The noise certified the affirmative.
.Can you see inc nj t'l' times when you

The raps proclaimed the perpetual clear
ness Of tho shnker's vision in that respect.
The gentleman seemed relieved, and
the spectators stood overwhelmed VIII

On one occasion he was waited uoon bv

losns which he had made to Austris, and
Connection with governme Is adverse TO The
liberties Of Europe, had marked him for ns-
sassina,ion; and that the mode by which
he was to lose his life, was afrohged. But
though RothschiId smiled utwardy at. this,
and similar threats, they said, who knew
him best, that his mind was often troubled
by these ren enbrances, and that thew
haunted bim nj moments when lie would

scription written by the late John G. Calhoun, en
placed on the monument Of John Gailard, of soutl
Carolina, who died in Washingta. City, 1896. How
truly did the writer pen his own Eptaph, in that
his friend. It is copied from a MS. contained in
letter written many years ago by member OF Con
gress to friend. am not aware that it has ever ap
peared in print.
This Monument
Ia erected by the United States
To the memory Of John Gailsrd,
Senator from the State Of South Carolina,
Who died at Washington, Feb'ry. goth, 1896,
In the discharge Of his public duties.
He was man
OF manncrs plain, but engaging
ofan understanding vigorous and correct
And of integrity the most inaexible,
He followed the wishes Of his own State
When they were in accordance with the constitution
And he connected himself with party
Not as instrument OF ambition
But as a living depository Of principle;
Al! his ends we're public ends,
And all the arts by which he sought TO obtain them
Were manly arts.
He deserted no friends when they were assailed-
And he united himself with no enemies
For the sake OF ncreasing his power;
He could support government
And he could oppose which he deemd wrong,
With frmness.
Without coarscness and rancor,
Amidst the most vio!cn. conflicts of parties,
And in the discussion Of momentous questions,
He never. for moment,
Lost the character Of gentleman;
During the time that he presided over the Senate
He treated its members
As if they were all his friends
And By such conduct he made them 50,
In all his appointments which 1t his duty to make,
He soush. to crafty hrs own judgment,
And not the feelings, passions. or wishes
Ofhimself, or OF others.
And By his rigid adherence to the rules
Framed with so much wisdom
For the government OF the Senate,
lie preserved that good order,
8 Without which, public business is retarded
The fe elings of the embers excited and insulted
And the dignity ofthe body lost.
May his successors
In the high Office Of presiding over the Senate
That great assembly Of the States
REFLECT
That this monument will be their rcproaca
lfthey neglect to remember
And RESEMBLE him.

With respect to the stock Of this Road, il whai
has been asserted, as 10 IFS business connections
is correctly assumed, the inference must be high
y in its favor the profits must correspond with
the extent OF its business.
The Chicago and Golena Road operating only
to Elgin has already yielded dividend Of 10
per cert per annum, and this with on imperfect
rail and under oil the disadvantages of its un-
finished condition. This part Of their road cost
$500 per mile including engines and cars
The r ,ck Island and Peru .ilroad with good
L rail, would not exceed this cost, and being con-
sequenily worked 25 per cent cheaper, and
with 25 per cent more effect, there cannot be
any doubt about the comparative result. Ac-
cording to recent statements made by the G .le-
ma company, the probable business Of their road
during the coming year will show that their
stock as an investment, would be superior to
any Railroad stock in the United States, notwitli-
standing the loss arising from the use Of a fat
rail- Oa the Rock Island Railroad not only
could freight be transported for less price, but
the speed for passenger trains would be much
more rapid and would transport even before lite
extension, great many more passengers
Much more might be said in relation to these
matters, showing in still stronger light the de-
sirableness of the enterprise, out my intention
being merely to show the Importance Of immedi-
ate action, have briefly introduced into these
remarks such facts as might tend to dispel the
spirit Of delay and false security which seems
recently TO have pervaded this whole community.

THE UPPER REGIoNs OF THE ArMospHERE.-M-.
]. w SC, the aronaut, has recently publishrd
work entitled ''History and Practice Of E-onau-
,ics," from which the Philadelphia Inquirer de-
rives the following interesting facts:

tortuous yet perpendicular track. A pigeon let
off under similar circumstances afforded more
curious spectacle. Placed on The edge Of the
car, it rested awhile, measured as it were, the
breadth of that unexplored sea, which it design
ed to traverse, now launching into the abyss, it
hu.,ered irregularly, and seemed Mt first to try
its wings on the thin element, till, after few
strok es il gained more confidence, and whrling
in large circles spirals, like the bird fprey, il
precipitated itself into the mass Of extended
clouds, where il was lost from sight. In one Of
his asecns, he held dis,inc, conversation in the
cloud with Mr.. PauKn, who ascended with un-
other balloon about the same time.

INSENsIBILIrY OF THE BRAIN.

INSENSIBILITY OF THE BRAIN.
Referring to paragraph which recently
appeared in our paper, the Cincinnati En-
quirer says:
On this singular phenomenon Of the
brain, Dr.Wngap, in treatise on The "quail-
~ Of the mind,'' makes the following re-
marks:
One Of the most inconceiyable things in
the nature Of the brain IS that tho organ
of sensation should itself be insensible.-
To cut the brain gives no pain, ye; in the
brain alone resides the power OF feeling
pain 10 any other part Of the body. IT the
nerve which leads frnm il to the injured
part be divided, it becomes instantly un-
conscious Of suffering. Il is only BY com.
mnnication with the brain that any kind
Of sensation is produced, yet the organ IT.
self is nsensibIe But there is circum-
s,ance more wonderful still. The brain it,
self may he removed, may be cut away
down 10 the corpus calosum, without des-
tro, ing life.. The animal lives and per
forms all the functions which arc necessary
/, simple vitality, but no longer has n mind.
I, cannot think or feel. Itrequires that the
food should be pushed into the stomach ;
once there, il is digested, and the animal
will even thrive and grow. We infer,
therefore, thu, the part Of. the brain, the
convolntions. is simply intended for the
exercise Of the intellectual faculties, wke-
ther Of the low degree called instinct. or
exalted kind bestowed on man, the gift Of
renson. @

to It's use Mr.. Carmichael. surgeon Of
that city, commenting on the fact, snys :
ssWould $4,000 or 100000 foil discs Of opi-
um, Or snlimony, or EPSON snlts, or any
other pofen, medicine, have been followed
with ne great impunity?" Chloroform is
now haLitnally used in Edinburgh in all
kinds Of surgical operations, down to tooth
drawing Ii saves many lives which 9th
erwise would sink under the nervous shock
which is experienced from severe opern-
tion undergone in state Of consciousness.
Such is The published opinion olthe discov.
erer Of its use as an anGsihetic, the now
celebrated DR.. Jamcs Y. Simpson; and this
opinion has MT been gainsayed by any Of
the profession in Edinburgh. At the same
time, ch!orolorm has received the sanction
and recommendation Of the most authorta-
tive bodies in France and the United States.
Nevertheless, the public of London IS al
most wholly denied tho vast benefits Of this
agent, purely through the prejudices of the
profession. This forms curious illustra-
ton Of the condition Of medicine and OF the
medical mind in the metropolis, but it is
not new Que.
Not only is there dis,aste amongst SCI
en,ific men in England for every thing that
comes from the north, but there is gener'
al benghtedncss in the London medical
world. They opposed vaccination while it
was embraced in the provinces, and 10 the
indelible disgrace Of all concerned, inocu-
la.ion with smallpox maintained its ground
in a London hospital devoted TO the pnrpos
quarter Of century after Jenner's dis
covery. The london public should take
this matter into their own hands. Let
them not be 100 ready to lay stress upon
accounts Of fatal effects from chlorotorm.
OF such there have been few; but It 10
remarkable that in Edinburgh, where the
article is prepared in perfect purity, with
the bcnefi, Of firs.-ra,e apparatus, and
where il is administered with judgment and
due care, not one accident has happened.
Even admitting That the accidents which
have happened elsewhere were not avo!da-
BILE by any degree Of care. they should be
placed beside The lives which have been
saved by tho special use Of this agent
Taking the matter on still lower ground,
the rejection Of chloroform because Of few
fatal cases is no moro rational than It
would be to refuse 10 travel BY railways
because ono person in several millions has
been killed by collision.
