some OF the most eminent Psychologists Of the
present day have been lately anvumentino the
very curious question as to whether a man feels
otter his head is off. And this inquiry is con.
sdered by lie conductors 10 be Of more than phys.
illogical interest," because it involves ref ned prin
ciples of humanity with regard to the punishment
OF death by the guilloIine.
| 1t is considered on all sides that the BODY does
not feel one instant after decaptation for the
brain being tire seat of sensation to the whole
frame, through the medium of the spinal mar
row, every part of the body beneath the joint a
which the latter may be divided, must be depri-
we'd of feeling. But it by no means follows that
the head is deprived of sensation Immediately al
ter decapitation, nor that it may not retain its
seriousness, aud like the head of the Irish knight
who was killed by Salladin, in the Holy War, get
up and declare that it was never cut off by so
| sweet sclmltar betore-nor like that of the as
| sassln Legare, swear roundly at the eXecuioncr
tor not keeping a keener axe but ii is quite pos
slble that 1t may be troubled with very serious
reflections upon the rrevocabity of its fate, and
the aWfulness gifts deprivation.
In support of this unpleasant theory, many
facts are ad1uced with grave vouchers for their
authenticity. Among others is the unfortunate
Queen Of Scots, whose lips continued to move in
prayer tor at least quarter of an hour after the
CAGCuuollet Hau peTloEIleu MS duties. Nlnut
states that having put his mouth TO the ear of
decapitated criminals head and called him by
name, the eyes turned to the side from whence
the voice came and this fac, is attested by Fon-
tenello, Moore, Guillotinc, Nauche and Aldini
On the word murder being called, in the case O.
a criminal executed for that crime at Coblentz
the half closed eyes opened wide with an ex-
preston OF reproach on those who stood around
This is recorded in the Medical Gazette for
April last; but whether it be believed or not we
see nothing in the theory or recorded fact, to les
sen the physiological possibility Of conscience
after decaptation. In diseases and dislocations
of the spinal marrow, the mind remains in full
possession of all its faculties, although all the
lower limbs are utterly devoid of ieelng-and at
what point OF separation are we justified in say
ing the mind must loose its rational powers p
If the brain retain the images of vision and the
form of touch, long after the objects which crea-
ted them are withdrawn why may we not sup
pose that it retains them after a sudden operation
ofthe guiliotinc? Like the thigh of an ampua-
! ted leg which feels its toes for days, and even
weeks after its operation, it may remain in mag
mary possession of its corporal members, until
the curtains of oblivion are gathered around its
fading vision and it sinks to repose in the cham
bers of death

A certain farmer came TO a neighboring law

"that alters the case; and must enquire into the
matter, and if" "And if" says the farmer.
'you had been as ready TO do justice to others

AN IRIsHMAN's THEFr.-In the American
war an lrishman, who was rCputed faithful and
brave soldier, and much esteemed by his officers,
obtained leave one evening to ramble ont of the
camp, and he passed by farmers house, a
cock and hen turkey were sitting on the fence.
The cock, agreeable to nature, gobbled at him
Paddy caught them both and brought them to
the camp without injury.
The owner followed, and entered complaint
a {anst him.
How" said the president, sis this Jenny,
that you have stolen the mans turkeys ?"
| Jenny denied stealing them, saying,
"My captain knows well that | have been a
good friend to my country and could never bear
the name of tory and as was passing by the
tnan's house that red-headed baist stepped up
and calls out tory, tory, tory, and | would not
| bear it at his hands, so | took and brought him
to the camp for trial"
"WelI," says his captain, "but you have bro't
the hen and she has done no crime"
"Ah! but" says he, "she was the only wit
ness | had against him"
The witty turn of Paddy so pleased the court
martial, that they paid the owner for his turkeys,
and gave them to Jenny to take and punish in
his own way.

SHORT DREssEs-Mrs BLooMsR, editor of
the Lily, has adopted the "short dress and trow =
sers - and says, in her paper of this month, that
many of the women in that place, (Seneca Falls, }
oppose the change others laugh others still
are in favor land many have adopted the dress. .
She closes the article upon the subject as fol-
lows:
Those who think we look queer" would do
well ~ look back a few years, 10 the time when
they wore ten or fifteen pounds of petticoat and
hustle around the body, and then imagine which
cut the qteercSt figure they or we. We care
not for the trownS OF over faStidious gentlemen:
we have those of better taste and less questona-
bic morals to sustain us. If men think they
would be comfortable in long. heavy skirts, let
them put them oD--we have no objection. We
are more comfortable without them, and so have
/ left them off We do not say we shall wear this
dress and no other, but we shall wear it for q
common dress; and we hope ii may become 81
fashionable that we may wear tat all times, ant
in all places without being thought singular
We have already become so attached TO it that
we dislike changing to long one.
SENSIBLE HoRsEs.-Lain. in his travels ii
Norway, SAYS that the horses in that country
have a very sensible way of taking their food
/ Instead of sWilng themselves with palfuli Of
water at draught, no doubt from the fear Of
never getting any again, and then overgorgng
themselves with dry food for the same reason
they have bucket of water put down beside
their allowance of hay. 1t is amusing TO set
with what relish they take sip of the one ans
a mouthful of the other, alternately, sometimes
moistening their mouths as rational beings woull
do while eating dinner Of such dry food. 4

~ Mr.. GRRELEY'S TENTH LETTER will
anneaf Tomorrow

PRNNsYLvANA.-The proceedings of the
Opposition State Convention, as reported
by telegraph, will attract the notice of all
who keep an eye upon the movements of
political parties. The Cass men were out
numbered by the friends of Buchanan, though
the Convention did not directly express its
Presidential preferences.
Bigler, the nominee for Governor, is
thought to be the strongest man that his party
has run for many years. He was member
of the Legislature, and voted for the passage
of tho law prohibiting the use of the State
iails for the confinement of fugitive slaves,
but now goes for its repeal and for the Com
promises in general, and will no doubt, OBJ
tain credit with his party for patriotic mo-
tives in making so sudden a change.

American Diplomacy ia zIayti.

Among the passengers by the steamer
Merlin, which arrived here on Sunday last
from St. Thomas, was Mr.. r. NJ. WALSH,
Special Agent of the United States to the
island of Havt. Mr. W. comes last from
the Spanish part of the island we under
stand that two gentlemen from there accom-
pany him. We presume he has gone to
Washington to give an account Of his dolngs.
1t appears that the late unsuccessful me-
diation between Hayti and the Dominican
Republic was undertaken by France and
England in concert with our own Govern
ment. Mr.. USHER the English, and Col.
Raybaod the French Consul partici-
pated in the negotiations, of course by
direction of their respective home au-
thorities. The leading part in the cores
pondence with SoulOuque and his min
listers was, however, allotted to our re-
preventative and we may conclude that this
was also the result of similar instructions.
We can very well conceive that Lord
Palmerston as well as Sir Henry Bulwer.
who as British Minister to the United States
has no doubt had large share in these
arrangements, were more than willing that
our Government should place itself in an
odious position in the eyes of Hayti, where
our growing trade is competing unpleasant
ly with the sale of English manufactures
We can also very well conceive that Col.
Raybaud, whose Government looks longing
ly at the Dominican Republic where a very
strong party, comprising such men as Baez,
the President and Santana, the Liberator, is
in favor of annexation to France, should
willingly obey the direction TO play second
fiddle in the attempt To remove the great
hindrance in the way of making Dominica
a French colony. But that the present Ad-
miniStration of the United States should for
the Immediate and sole benefit OF England and
France, enter into such a continuation of the
policy of Mcssrs. Polk, Buchanan and Duff
Green, Is something which we can conceive
only with difficulty and after the facts refuse
to bear any other explanation.
There Is another thing which strikincly
confirms our Interpretation of this matter
We hear of Mr.. Walsh, on various occasions
and at various places in Hayti, as threaten
ing to blockade and lombard Port-au- Prince
IN case SOulouQue should still refuse to re-
cognize the eastern part of the island as
