Growth and Power Of the Northve,t.

Growth and Power Of the Northwest,
The N. Y Times has been publishing some
statistics which present the growth and now.
er of the Northwest in strong but true lisht.
For instance, the Northwestern States had IN
1870 not single vote in the House of Rem
resentatives; but in 1860 they will have one
fourth of the House. In 1900. New Eng.
land, New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl.
yanla had 57 Representatives. In 1860. thew.
will have s3. Delaware, Maryland, Virginia.
the Carolinas, and Georgia in 1900 had ~
members. In 1860 they will have but 37.-
IN 1900 Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama.
Florida, mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and
Texas had but three Representatives. In
1860 the number will have increased to 3d.
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin.
Iowa, Minnesota, and Missouri had not Rep
resentative in 1900. In 1860 they will have
10, only 10 short of the Old North. and 8s
more than the Old South. The entire mass
of slave-holding States in 1860 will have but
one more than the Free Northwest, Missouri
included with the free.
How rapidly the Mississippi Valley has be-.
come the seat of empire In 1900 the Allan.
tic States had lO4 Representatives, the Mis-
sissippi Valley but three. In 1860, two gem
crations, the Atlantic States have 11e. the
mississippi Valley liz. In two years moro
the Mississippi Valley will out-vOte all other
sections of the Union; and the Times declares
that since the Northwest grows double as fast
as the Southwest, it will be safe to saw that
IN another generation the north half of tho
Mississippi Valley, from the Alleghanics to
the Rocky Mountains, and from the Red Ry-
er of the North to the mouth of the Ohio wil
hare Me majority Of the rotes IN the House Of
Represcntotirest
And yet this young, mighty Northwest,
just putting on the gristle Of Manhood, did
not obtain even passing notice in the last
annual Message of the Democratic President
of the United States! His cast Of eye was
entirely Southwark

HypNoTrsM French scientific journals
are full of accounts Of the application Of the
new discovery, Hypnotism. In Cosmos we
find detailed account of an amputati0n per-
formed while the patient was under it's inf1u-
cnce, in the Hotel-Dicu of Poitcrs, on man
aged 81, whose left knee was increased by
white swelling to nearly double the size of the
knee, and was so painful that the least move
ment produced the most intense suffering
The hypnotsm was produced by placing d
spatua about eight inches in front OF the root
of the nose. Looking at this, he soon became
inscnsible, in spite of the severe pain which
he was in from being taken to the operAtin4i
room. lnsensibility was produced in ten
minutes, and the amputation occupied min
ute and half. The patient made no sign Of
pain, and when questioned by the doctof said
he thought he was in paradise. His features
were perfectly tranquil; his eyes only seemed
to be wandering in search of the brilliant OBJ
ject which had been before them.
Avery singular experiment in hypnotism.
has been many times repeated in France. Il.
consists in marking chalk limo along floor;
and placing hen whose beak also hid been,
whitened with chalk in the axis of the line,
and nearly touching it. She soon sinks into
the most complete hypnotic sleep, accompan-
led by insensibilty and catalcpsy. BY blow.
ing gently on her eyes, she is awakened and
immediately shakes herself flaps her wings,
and runs away with much squawking j.
The Mississippi river extends 800 miles
from the frozen regions Of the north toos the
sunny south, and with the Missouri river ID
1900 miles in length. II would reach from
New York across the Atlantic Ocean, or from
France to Turkey and the Caspian Sea. It's
| average depth is 80 feet, and its width half Z
mile. The foods are more than month
| travelling from it's source to its delta. The
trappers can exchange the furs Of animals
caught by them on the Upper Mississippi for
the tropical fruits gathered on the banks be-
low. The total value Of steamers afloat on
the river and its tributaries is more than
SG0,00O,00O, numbering 1000 boats, with
more than twice the steamboat tonnage Of
England. 1t drains an area of 200, 600
square miles, and washes the shores Of twelve
powerful States. In one single reservoir at
Lake Pcpin, between Wisconsin and Mime
sofa, $500 miles from the sea, the navies Of
the world might safely ride at anchor.
