FREEZING THE BRAIN.-The diseoy-
cry that the brain of living animal
could be frozen and afterward could re-
cover was made by DR.. james Arnott,
who solidifed the brain Of a pigeon by
exposing it to q freezing mixture -
Here research stopped, because with an
ordinary freezing mixture it was not
possible to act on individual p; .rts of
the o-gan; but the Importance of the
discovery is not the less on that account
1t was marvellous revealing. Think
what it was Here was a living org: n
of mind, centre of power, of all guild
ing power, of all volition. It took in
every motion of the universe to which
it was exposed It took the light. and
form, and color BY the eye; it took in
sound by the ear; sensation and sub
stance by the touch odor by the nos
trils, and taste by the mouth it gave
out, in return or response, animal mo
ton, expression-all else that demon
strates a living animal without it the
animal was turned into mere vegeta-
BILE. And this organ, the very centre
and soul Of the organism, was, by mere
physical experiment., for a. time made
dead-all its powers ice bound And
this organ, again set free, received its
functions back again, and, as we know
now By further observation, its func-
lions unimpaired.a Surely this was the

Radical Rule in Washington, &c.

WAsHINuroN, ID. c., Nov. 2, 1868.
Messrs. Editors There is no place,
not even. South, -&here the Radicalsp
have such ill-gotten and complete sway
as in this place. An outsider can have
only. a faint idea of tiieSreai State of;af-

they adventured to do anything, and
succeeded to- their hearts yconte nt--
Against the wishes Of large majority
of the citizens they allowed-contrabaud

by mischievous handling Of fhe boxes
that contained the ballots, were enabled

Since Bowen took forcible possession
of the office, his party has practiced the
most ultra measures to propagate the
negro element. E They have Increased
the city taxes one hundred per. cent.
with no other viewsthan to build negro
school HOUSES, sevesM of which are al
ready in course of construction, and
mammoth structures at that, some of
them situated in barren spots, quite .un-
settled places, and on the suburbs of
the city. And they now employ and
pay out of the city treasury, over thirty
white teachers to instruct these blacks.
BY what rule Of conscience they thus
take the money Of the e1white citizen and
throw it away upon the negroes who
continually flock thither, mere paupers,
and who have no property interest in
the city, and have resided in it but a
few months, only Radical may answer
They have excluded Irishmen d sand
other white laborers from the streets,
and replaced them with blacks, whom
they paid last month the enormous sum
of forty thousand 4O,000) dollars for
street cleaning alone. And it was OBJ.
served that some of this cleaning was
done at the very limits of the city, in
unfrcquented and even uninhabited pla

origin of Eminent Men.

Some of our newspapers are fond of
placing before The public the origin
ofrich men. We think the poor ones
should have chance; 50 we relate the
following brief facts for the encour-
agement Of others:
John Smith was the son ofhis faith
er. he formerly resided in Stoke
Pogis, and other places; but be has
moved to the Fenitentiary now.
William Smith was the son of his
mother. This party's grandmother
is deceased. She was woman.
John Brown was the son Of old
Brown. The body of the latter lies
moldering in the grave.
Edward Brown was the son OF old
Brown by particular friend.
Henry Jones was the son of a sea-
cook.
William Cannon was the son of a
gun.
John Jones was q son of Temper
ance.
In early life Gabriel Jones was
actually shoemaker. He is shoe
maker yet.
Previous to the age of eighty five,
Caleb Jones had never given any
evidence of extraordinary ability
lie has never given any since.
Patrick Murphy is said to be of
Irish extraction.
Andrew johnson was the son of a
loose, and he therefore became a
tailor and finally President OF the
United States.

Wanted more than Land.

The Nation, Weekly Republican
paper, thoughtful and earnest, says
I've arc suffering just now from
political corruption--a corruption
which is eating its way into nearly
every State Legislature, and which
unhappily, is also reaching The courts;
we are suffering from drunkncnness
from crimes Of violence from grow
ing indiff renee to law from wide
spread contempt for training and
study +, from clumsy. corrupt, in
efficient civil service, whose agents
instead of serving the country, defile
and disgrace it through their dishon
esty and incapacity. We have be-
fore us the tremendous problem of
reconclling to each other the white
and black races at the South, OF reduc-
ing the whites to civilized subsection
to the law, and of teaching the backs
to use the law temperately and in
diligently for their comfort and Sc
security, and not for vengeance or
prescription. We have to make head
against the great tide of barb9rism
which our vast frontier is ever rolls
ing back on us, and at the same time
to raise up to the American level the
vast hords Of immigrants which are
every year deposited on our shores
without any other preparation for
their new life than discomfort with
their old one. We have, too. to
strengthen the national conscience
to resist the assaults of the crop Of
demagogues whom every political
trouble brings TO the surface, who
seem to seek the national dishonor
with almost satanic eageiness, and
to find their highest happiness in
persuading the community to do
things which no individual would
like to confess to his son that be had
a share in. To ask us to pay large
sums of money for new patches of
territory and new naval stations I'M
der these circumstances, under pre-
tence of assuring the national future,
is very much like the remedy that
Old topers prescribe for the headache
following on debauch Ii the ma
tional future be in peril at all, it is
n OF for want Of territory but from
excess OF it-not because we have
not soil enough, but because we are
unable to cover what we have with
law, order, religion and education"
