MISSISSIPPI.

From the Canton Miss Mail We
learn that Ex-Governor NEVILLE died,
in his seventy-sixth year, on the Sd
instant, at his residence in Madison
county. He had been long suffering
from paralysis. Gov. MCWILLIE wss a
native of South Carolina, where he early
in life entered the political arena and
attained to some prominence. About
twenty-five years ago he emigrated to
Mississippi, almost immediately identi-
flying himself with the Democratic party
of that State, by whom he was success
sively elected to Congress, to the State
Senate, and Governor, succeeding Nc
RAE in the latter office. His life was
one OF great usefulness and high distinc-

a -CusromnoUsE WASTED.

AT q meeting Of the Chamber Of Com,
merce, held on Monday last, a resolution
was introduced by Mr.. WILLIAM FAR
RINGTON calling for the appointment Of
a committee TO prepare e memorial, to
be signed by citizens, for presentation TO

be known to but few, that, besides the
large lot on the corner OF Jefferson and

United States for the purpose of q Gus
tomhOuss, there stands, to the.credit Of
Memphis -Customhouss, on the books OF
the Treasury Department. the sum Of

preparation made by Congress on the V
of the war. II the lot at present oceu-

from the President is only necessary
to secure the application OF this

be permitted to stand still for want OF
the moneys necessary to complete IT.
II, therefore, instead Of 8 memorial or
committee, the Chamber will unite with
the Board OF Mayor and Aldermen in
the selection OF sn intelligent citizen,
friendly to and enjoying the confidence
OF the administration, who will be au-

SECOND DISPATCH.

LITTLE Rock, March 10, 4 p.m.-The
Republican Of to day denounces the pro-
posed Railroad bill, (of which l have al
ready telegraphed you the substanee),
introduced into the Senate, as wholly
unconstitutional aud as a gross fraud
upon tho wishes of the people generally,
already expressed at the ballot-box. It
threatens, IL the Senate passes the bill
and RENTS it to the House, to follow it
with q research into its origin and pur-
pose, and to expose certain manipuIa-
tons in such q manner that will bury It
so deep that Gabriel's trumpet will never
resurrecs it. This bill provides aid for
eight hundred and forty-seven miles of
contemplated railroads, named in yester-
dsy's dispatch, giving them from ten to
fifteen thousand dollars per mile, amount
ing ia all to from eight to ten millions of
dollars. 1t leaves out Memphis, Pine

WONDERS OF MODERN SURGERY. The fol
lowing is brief summary of an article IN a
late Atlantic Monthly, on the recent dhcove-
ries and improvements In surgery
BY the local application OF u sumeieht ue
gree of cold, insensibihty can De proauced III
any desired part, So that man with most e4-
quisiteiy painful wound on the arm, or leion on
the finger. can now look down, III MS perfect
senses, upon the knife as It enters his own
body aud performs the most dltheult operation
without giving him the least PAIN. a French
surgeon has invented an instrument ne calls
the 'ecrassar, or crusher, to perform operations
dangerous in surgery, on account OF the loss OF
blood from the smaller vessels il performed
with the knife. The eye is examined by an
instrument called the optbalmoscope, by which
the depths OF the globe of the eye can be readl
ly and fully explored, and through Its aid a
great deal of what has been written and con-
jectured about diseases of the eye has been
found to be wrong. The intricate passages OF
the ear, the nose, the whole OF the WlDdplpe
and passages, to the lungs are now carefully ex-
plored.
AT Kings College it is rare to see an ampu-
tation; 10 the nine cases out OF ten exclslon
(or the cutting out the diseased portion OF the
limb) should be performed In its stead.
LOOKING BACK. The superstition of the
ill-luck OF looking back or returning is nearly
as old as the world itself, having doubtless
originated in Lots wife 'havng looked back
from behind him, ;" when he was led, with his
family and cattle, by an angel outside OF the
doomed city of the plain. Whether walk lpg or
riding the wife was behind the husband, &C
cordipp 10 q custom prevalent in the East,
where no woman goes beside her husband. 10
Roberts Oriental Illustration" 1t is stated to
be considered exceedingly unfortunate tor
men OF women to look back when they leave
their house. Accordingly. if q man goes out
and leaves something behind which his vile
knows he will want, she does not call him to
return or look back, but takes or sends it after
him; and if some great emergency obllges him
TO took back, he will not then proceed on the
business he was about to transact. Ii we
mistake not similar feeling is entertained in
some parts OF England, though not carried so
far into operation.
