Nerve TeIegraphs.

Within the flesh or muscular part oil
the body are two distinct sets OF nerves
namely, the motor and the sensory
nerves. By the sensory nerves the
brain receives intelligence of all outward
actions and the mind becomes conscious
of external things, such as light, scent,
sound, taste and touch, of pain or pleas
ure. The motor nerves, on the other
hand, convey the intelligence or will of
the mind from the brain to the outward
world by directing the muscular motion
If the brain desires the hand to strike
the strings of harp, it does so by the
motor nerves; but the sound which is
returned is conveyed TO the brain by the
sensory nerves. Intelligence from the
brain 10 any part Of the body, and con-
versely, is conveyed by the nerves at
of liz feet per second that IS,
at a speed Of one mile in ~ seconds.
Quick as this may appear, the time be-
tween a wound given the pain felt IS
BY what means the mind
or will acts over the nerves we are I'M
able to say. Persons who have what is
termed an iron will can
endure pain with almost stole indiffer-
ence. Neither tears nor laughter seem
to move them. Others there are who
have so little command over their nerves
that trivial things affect them greatly.
To train the mind TO exercise its will
over the nervous system is highly bene-

Modes of Living in Paris-HOrse

A young Bostonian, writing home to

Interesting Letter from His Friend.
". Ii. WaddeIi, Esq.

v. -. WNnssNsAs 1<'f'
OK, Mss, November 26. 1870.
To the Editor of the Ledger:
James A. Lindlay, an account oil
whose death | seen in Fridays LEDGER,
has been citizen of Tunica county,
Miss, for about two years, during which
time he had lived with me. During the
present year he has been doing business
for Messrs Rozell & Co., in their store at
this point. Sometime in August he
seemed to be unwell, but kept up and
continued at his business until about the
middle of the month, when on Monday
morning he failed to appear at the break
fast table. Upon examining his room we
found that he had not slept there the
previous night. We did not find him
until Tuesday morning, when we found
him at Austin two miles distant--crazy.
He had gone there Sunday night, about
midnight; had made the sheriff believe
that several gentlemen This best friends,
myself among the number were seeking
to kill him. The sheriff, who was a
stranger to all of us, was so far deceived
as to go with him to magistrate to get
a warrant for our arrest. The magis-
trate knew the accusation could
not be true, and it was then dis
covered that Lindlay was insane.
His brothers, who live on Coldwater, were
sent for, took him home with them, and
endeavored to get him into the lunatic
asylum; but there was no room for him.
He got better, and hopes were enter
tanned Of his entire restoration. About
ten days since he returned to my house,
sold out an interest he had in some stock
lere, and made his arrangements to enter
again upon his duties as clerk in the
itore, but he was not here Monday morn
ng. On Tuesday we heard that he had
zone from Austin on the A. J. White,
md the next intelligence we received
vas in your account of his death.
He was Mason in high standing, be-
ng Jr. W. of our lodge. He was a me-
hanic of rare ingenuity. Honest as
he day is long, and as friend, true to
he death.
Many will deeply deplore and long re
ret the sad end Of so true and kind
-iend as James A. Lindlay, and none
iore so than myself.
Yours truly, v. B. WADDELL.
