From the London Review
How it feels to be Hanged.

An acquaintance Of Lord Bacon, who
ment to hang himself only partially, lost
his footing, and was cut down at the ex
tremity, having nearly paid for his curl
osity with his life. He declared that he
felt no pain, and his only sensation was
of fire be ore his eyes, which changed
first to black and then to sky-blue. These
colors are even source of pleasure. A
Captain Montagnac, who was hanged in
France during the religious wars, and res
cued from the gibbet at the intercession
of Viscount Turenne, complained that,
having lost all pain in an instant, he had
been taken from light of which the
charm defed description. Another Grim
inal who escaped by the breaking of IL e
cord, said that, after second of suffer
ing, fire appeared, across it the most
beautiful avenue of trees. Henry w, of
France, sent his physician to question
him, and when mention was made of a
pardon. the man answered cody that it
was not worth the asking. The uniform
ity of the descriptions render it useless to
multiply instances. They fill pages in
every book Of medical jurisprudence. All
agree that the uneasiness is quite mo-
mentary, that pleasurable feeling imme-
diately succeeds, that colors of various
hue start up before the sight, and that,
these having been gazed on for a trivial
space, the rest is oblivion. The mind, a
verted from the reality of the situation, is
engaged in scenes the most remote from
the reality ofthe situation, the most re-
mote from which fills the eye of the spec
tator-the vile rabble, the hideous gal
lows, and the struggling form that swings
in the wind

Conn Co.'s WORTHLESS FOR FKRD.-
We have been several times called to ac-
count for stating that all inventions for
grinding cobs were valueles to the world.
because the cob of the Indian corn con-
tanned scarcely as much nutriment as the
wood of several species of forest trees.
In fact. it would be decidedly better to
grind the stalks of the corn, or stalks Of
wheat, oats. barley, or any of the COM
mon grasses. In this opinion we are
corroborated by the analysis Of DR.. Char
ley T.. jackson, showing only Al per
cent of nutritive matter, consisting ofgum
starch and dextrine. This shows that
cobs are worth more for fuel than for
food of animals.-N r Tribune.

sThe ph;,osonby Of sueezing.


A sneeze always indicates that there is
something wrong. 1t does not occur in
health unless some foreign agent irrltates
the membrane of the nassal passages,..up-
on which the nervous filaments are dis
tributed. In case of cold, Or what is. term
e.linAuenza, these are unduly excitableH
and hence the repeated sneezing with
them occur. The nose receives three
acts of nerves, the nerves of smell, those
of feeling, and those of motion. The.
formes communicate to the brain the o.
dorous properties of substance with which
they come into contact, in a diffused Tor
concentrated state; the second communi-
cate the impressions of touch; the third
moves the muscles of the nose-bp the
power OF these muscles is very Lin - ID
When sneeze occurs all these faculties
are excited in a hig degree. A grain OF
snuff exctes the olfactory nerves, which
despatch to the brain that "snuff has at
tackled the nostril - The brain instant
ly sends mandate through the noter
nerves to the muscles, saying. "cast it
out!" and the result IS unmistakable So
offensive is the enemy besieging the nos
tril held to be, that the noseis not left to
its own defence. It were too feeble to
accomplish this. An allied a, my of mus
cles join in the rescue; nearly one half Of
the body arouses against the intruder;
from the muscles of the lips to those of
the abdomen, all unite in the effort for
the expulsion of the grain of snuff. Let
us consider what occurs in this instanta-
neous operation. The lungs become fully
inflated, the abdominal organs are pres
sed downwards, and the veil of the palate
drops down to form a barrier to the es-
cape of air through the mouth, and now
all the muscles which have relaxed fol
the purpose, contracted simultaneously
and force the compressed air from the
lungs in torrent out through the Nasal
passages, with the benevolent determine
ton to sweep away the particles of snuff
which have been causing irritation there
in. Such, then, is the complicated ac
ton of sneeze; and if the first efforI
does not succeed, then follows second
third, and fourth; and not until ycto
ry is achieved, do the army of defenders
dissolve their compact, and settle down
into the enjoyment of peace and quiet
ude This extract is from the Journa
of Medical Reform says Mr.. Littel, of the
Living Age, published in New York, ant
lis a little bit of philosophy mot to be

INSTINCT The Louisville Journal OF
the 4th inst, relates the following: Mr.
Putnam, of the Adams Co., some eight.
cen or twenty months since. brought to
his residence on Floyd and Main streets,
two fine patridges. These he kept and
fed attentiyely until las! spring year
ago--when they were taken to the coun-
try and set free, about two miles from
Middletown and ten miles from the city.
During the intensely cold weather of the
past winter, these birds returned to the
city and sought the residence of their
former kind protector. One bleak wintry
day Mr.. Putnam was astonished by a
rafting at his window, and found upon in :
vestigation, the 2 patridges seeking an en-
trance. He instantly.recognized them as his
old friends by peculiar marks upon their
bodies. Of course he could but take them
kindly. They are now habitues of his
grounds. circulating promiscuously" a.
mong the fowls and making themselves at
home without and within doors. We have
never in the course of our reading met
with more striking instance of the devel-
opeme nts OF instinct 1t appears indeed
beyond belief, that a couple of patridges
released from cage. twelve miles from
the place where they were confined should
after lapse of nearly two years, return
to their old heme--driven there BIZ the
pangs Of hunger and cold ,

SOUTH AMERICAN SNAKEs.-In this part
of the Orinoco we repeatedly saw water
snakes swimming from one island to a
mother; and in some instances they pas
sed over the boats, to the great alarm of
the passengers, but without attempting
to do any mischief. They are of a light
green color, six or eight feet long, and
swim with about third Of their body
raised out of the water; propelling them
selves rapidly along by the undulat-
ing motion of their tail We were inform
ed by the boatman that their prey con-
sisted chiefly of water rats and young
birds. The steersmen of the launches al
ways endeavor to avoid sailing under the
trees that oyerhang the river, lest the
mast light detach some of the snakes
rom the branches. We frequently saw
numbers of them, exhibiting the most
brilliant colors, while basking in the sun
on trees. An European traveller who
visited these parts in 1888, lay down to
sleep upon the bank of the Orinoco, and
was presently awakened by cries of alarm
and horror. What was his dismay when
he found himself encircled in the folds of
innumerable snakes? The native boat
man, whose cries had aroused him, pro-
ceedcd to deliver him from the hideous
coils in which he was emershed; but the
traveller completely recovered the shock
which he had received His nerves were
completely unstrung, and he died delir-
ious about for years afterwards at Porto
Rico Venezuela.

81. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES a glorious thing
it is for the human heart. Those who
work hard seldom yield themselves entire
" up to fancied or real sorrow. When
grief sits down, folds its hands, and
mournfully feeds upon It's own tears,
weaving the dim shadows that little ex-
ertion might sweep away, into funeral
pail; the strong spirit is shorn of its might
and sorrow becomes our master. When
troubles flow upon you, dark and heavy
toll not with the waves-wrestle not with
the torrent--rather seek by occupation,
to divert the dark waters that threaten to
overwhelm you, into thousand channels
which the duties of life always present.
Before you dream of it, these waters will
fertilize the present and give birth to fresh
flowers that may brigbsa:s~she future
flowers that will become pt're and holy,
in the sunshine which penetrates to the
path of duty, in spite of every obstacle.
Grief after all is but selfish feeling; and
most selfish is the man who yields him
self to the indulgence of any passion
which brings up joy to his fellow men,
Mrs. Ann Stephens.

A POISONED VALLEY.

A singular discovery has lately been
made near Batten, in Java, of a poisoned
valley. Mr. Alexander Louden visited it
last July, and we extract paragraph from
a communication on the subject, adires
sed by him to the Royal Geographical So
ciety. ~
1T is known by the name of Cuvo
Upas, or Poisoned Valley; and following
q path which has been made for the pur-
pose, the party shortly reached it with a
couple of dogs andIfowls, for the purpose
of making experiments. On arriving at
the top of the mountain the party dis
mounted and scrambled up the side of the
hill at distance OF mile, with the as
sistance of the branches of the trees and
projecting roots. When at a few yards
from the valley, a strong, nauseous, suf-
locating smell was experienced; but on
approaching the margin, the inconveni-
ence was no longer found. The valley is
about half mile in circumference, of an
oval shape, and about thirty feet deep.
"The bottom of it appeared to be fiat,
without any vegetation, and few large
stones scattered here and there. Skele-
tons Of human beings, tigers, bears, deer,
and all sorts of birds and wild animals,
lay about in profusion. The ground on
which they lay, at the bottom of the val
ley, appeared to be hard, sandy sub
stance, and no vapor was perceived
The sides were covered with vegetation.
| cit was proposed to enter it, and each
of the party having lit cigar, managed
to get within twenty feet of the bottom,
when sickening, nauseous smell was ex-
perienced without any difficulty of breath
ing. A dog was now fastened to the end
of bamboo and thrust to the bottom oi
the valley. while some of the party, with
their watches in their hands, observed the
effect. iss i a3st 7I
"At the expiration Of fourteen seconds
he fell off his legs, without moving OF
looking around, and continued alive only
eighteen minutes. The other deg now
left the company and went to his compan.
ion. On reaching him he was observed
to stand quite motionless, and at the end
of ten seconds fell down; he never moved
his limbs after, and lived only seven min.
utes. A fowl was now thrown in, and
died in a minute and a quarter. And
another, which was thrown in after, died
in the space Of minute and half.
"A heavy shower of rain fell during
the time that these experiments were 60
| ing forward, which, from the interesting
nature of the experiments, was quite dis
regarded. On the opposite side of the
valley to that which was visited lay hu,
man skeleton. The head was resting or
the right arm. The effect of the weather
had bleacned the bones as white as ivory
This was probably the remains of some
wretched rebel, hunted toward the valley
who had taken shelter there unconscious
Of its character. !"

Daniel Webster on Americanism.

Tn November, 1874. after the defeat of
Mr. Clay for the Presidency, Daniel
Webster made a speech in Faneuil Hall
Boston, in which the necessity for the A
merican organization of the present day
was distinctly asserted. Said Mr.. Web
ster:
"The results Of the recent election de-
feat of Mr., Clay in several of the States
have impressed my mind with one deep
conviction--that is, that there is an i'm
peratfve necessity for reforming the natu-
ralization laws of the United States
The preservation of the government, and
consequently the interests of all parties.
my opinion, clearly and stroogly de-
mand this All are willing and dssirous,
Of course that America should continue
to be the safe asylum for the oppressed
of all nations, All are willing and desi-
rous that the blessin gs of free govern
ment should be open to the enjoyment of
the worthy and industrious from all
countries, who may come hither for the
purpose Of bettering their circumstances,
by the successful Employment of their
own capital, enterprise, or labor. But it
is not reasonable that the elective fran
chise should be exercised by person of
foreign birth, until after such a residence
among us as that he may be supposed to
have become, in some measure, acquain-
ted with our constitution and laws, our
social and our general interests of the
country, and to have become an American
in feeling, principle, character, and SYM
pathy, as well as by having established
his domicil among US. Those already
naturalized have, of course. their rights
secured, but I can conceive no reasonable
objection to different provision in regard
to future cases."
