A LATE Paris letter contains the In
formation that DIR. Colin has read u
paper there OH nervous centres, or the
connection supposed to exist between
the development Of the intellectual
faculties and the size of the encepha-
lon. After a most complete lnvesti-
CATION and the weighing Of an untold
number of brains, it was clearly de-
monstrated that the central mass Is
proportionally larger in small than
In big animals, and that man, as far rs
the size OF the brain Is concerned, Is far
inferior to various monkeys, to the
weazel, and to several words. As re-
CARDS the weight Of the encephalon,
domestic animals should be classed in
tellectually as follows: The cat, dog,
rabbit, sheep, ass, pig, horse. on
which Is certainly not the order in
which they really stand.

A TRAINED RAccooS.-The Louis
Vile Conier-Jomnai reports the case Of
n boy burglar In that city who had ell
tered and robbed many houses with
the assistance of a trained raccoon.
The boys plan consisted in letting the
coon loose near the house Intended to
be robbed, and then in asking permis-
sion to hunt after the animal. which
had been taught to enter the premises
his mister had designated. While the
search was going on the boy would
pack up such valuables as he could lay
his hands on and escape with them UNI
seen. The boy in his last attempt had
packed up a market basket with cloth
my, and WAS making of through the
back yarl. when he was arrested, and,
after a vigorous struggle, held fast to
by a young girl and handed over to
the police. This circumstance resem-
bles a short tale, published in one OF
the English magazines, where the
thief was a large monkey trained to
climb up light trelliswork. enter
chamber windows, aud steal jewelry
and money. The real story, however.
Is as singular as any event that has
been recorded in fictitious literature.

A SINGULAR Us well as significant
petition has been sent by the japanese
to their Government, advocating the
introduction of railways, 4 translation
of which has been recently presented
to the British Parliament. and which
Is quantity entitled IA Proposition
for the Creation ofa Source Of Wealth
for the Promotion of the Imperial
Felicity, and the Establishment of an
Unlimited and Everlasting Benefit to
the Nation" The following extract
from this petition indicates an eneour-
aging advance by that people toward
an appreciation of Western civiliza-
sion: None Of the six continents
seem comparable to Europe for exten-
sion of enlightenment and wealth In
mechanical appliances. Indeed, the
continent of Europe alone excels all
the other five continents together.
What Is the eason of this state OF
things? The sole reason ia, that Eu-
rope Is more enlightened and better
provided with machinery. The me-
of the West have a saying that If yon
wish to learn whether n nation is rich
or poor, strong or weak, you must first
ascertain how it is provided with ma
chiuery. The invention Of the steam
engine. and the introduction OF more
efficient modes OF locomotion, have
enabled those countries to provide
every facility for transport, both by
land and sea 1t is, therefore, no, sur
prising to find them so wealthy and
90 powerful" 1t seems almost past
belief that the people which but a few
years ago closed all their ports against
commerce, and mobbed Foreigners IN
its political cities, should have been so
completely revolutionized.

"oprNroNs.n

Commissioner Delano, Of the Bureau
of Internal " Revenue, as It Is famil-
iarly called by unfortunate tax-pay-
ers, trots ont n "decision 7" every few
minutes, on such important points as
to whether whisky bottles with the
bottom knocked out should or should
not be srampedias rectifying establish
ments, or whether cigar stumps should
be put in dry goods boxes with eighteen'
nails, or wash-tubs with one iron and
three wooden hoops, "with the stamps
thereon rs described in section IL, sup
plement So to series IA" and then all
these important rulings are telegraphed
over the land commencing: "Com-
missioner Delano has decided" etc.
The natural result Of this Is that De-
lano is W supposed to "do" or
"say" anything, but rather to "de-
eide" il. And CHANGING over the
columns of al Eastern paper recently,
find that commissioner Delano
has decided to take a vacation, and
left Washington for his home in Ohio,
where he will spend the summer"
etc., and all this, we suppose, in accord
ance with lines II and Is, section 4, of
some supplement- or other to some GER
tain "series" or other. Now, 1t Is
good for a loug-suffering public that
Delano has decided to take q vaca-
ton and shut down Oh the decision
business for while, but the writer of
the paragraph above referred to ought
to have told us In what Act Of Con-

found his authority for this decision.

DOMESTIC INFELIclTY. - The San
Francisco Bulletin Of the 10th instant
says:
A negro named Meredith was tried
In the Police Court to-day on a charge
Of assault and battery on his wife, who
Is a white woman and of Celtic birth.
She testified that her husband dragged
her ont OF bed and sorely beat aud
abused her. He denied that he did so.
and declared that she tried to fight
him. The Court ordered him to pay u
fine Of $50, aud remarked that as he
had enjoyed the benefit Of a choice
among white women for a life-partner.
he should have been more careful and
selected one with whom he could live
in peace and quiet. They have been
married since the flood of 1852, aud
the cause of the present difficulty seems
TO have been that Meredith went back
to his color aud chose a woman o
pleasing than the first.
