ErFEcr OF ABSENCE or SuoEp.-
DR.. II. Rails Smith, of Louisville,
Ky, by certain Investigations, claims
to have established the truth of tho
theory that animals living permanent
ly in the Mammoth Cavo of Kcntue-
ky are not only without a trace of
the optic nerve, but arc also destitute
Of the sense of hearing. At one time
he penetrated about four miles into
the interior of tho cave, and some four
hundred feet below the surface of tho
earth. The solitude and total ab-
scnce of sound produced very dis.
tressing and almost insupportable
effect upon him, resulting in very
porceptible, although temporary, do
fection Of hearing and alteration of
mind. This explains the fact why
persons lost in the cave for one, two
or three days have always been found,
when rescued, in state of temporary
insanity. The mind anu special sen.
Sos, deprived of their natural pabu-
lum and stimulus, gradually become
weakened and paralyzed, and finally,
as far rs external manifestations arc
concerned, nearly, if not quite, cx-
tinct. This fact may afford some
clue to the cause of cretinism in tho
Alpine valleys.-Afarton (Am.) Ne,vs.
TIE FONDA CoNvENrfoN.-Lato
dispatches from this body inform us
that it is completely disorganizcd,
and at stand still. The majority of
the Convention arc operating in one
assembly, while the minority arc in
secret session by themselves. It
seems that the minority have adopted
4 constitution, and arc awaiting to
hear from Gon. Meade rs to what
trey shall do next.
The majority refuses to recognize
the minority. The President of the
Convention is with the minority, and
refuses to allow appeals from his de-
clslons, except Upon motion sustain
ed by two-thirds of tho members.
The majority not having two-thirds,
are therefore powerlcss. 1t is a par
liamcntary mess.
n THRIFTY YOUNG MAN.-Some-
times people have entertained angels
unawares, bat Green Mountain boy,
who has been peddling maps lately in
Wcst6old and neighboring towns in
Vermont, does not answer to that de.
5oTiption. His plan 's to 60 to farm.
house and ask for nights lodging and
food for himself and horse. When the
bill is presented in the morning he as
tonishes the farmer by asking to ''see lis
license to keep tavern |" OF course tho
license is not produced, md the bill 10
not paid. The difference between North
and South is, that (in old times at least}
no bill would have been presented ia the
South in such case.

considered was making an invidious distinction be-

raised all the cry about the eight hour movement
and monopoized to themselves the claim to oil the
benefit arising from the act Of tie legislature The
laborers were entirely overlooked, and vet it was

said the brlcklayers had never given any
to the WorKingmen's Union. They have always kept
away and II they intend to persevere in their policy
he hoped the workingmen's Union would have moth
ing TO do with them.
Mr.. WALSH thought the laborers were just as much
entitled to the benefit OF the eight hour law as the
bricklayey. The laborers, it is true, have given
little pecuniary and to the Bricklayers' Society but
they have suffered good deal from their strike and
yet have always acted faithfully by them.
Mr. MCDERMoTT, delegate from the Walters Society
stated that owing TO certain differences between
himself and the society he represented he considered
he was no longer member OF the workngmen's

to announce that fhe bakers had already initiated
