EFFECTS OF SILENCE AND DARK
NESS DIR. Kane, md other Artic voy>
ayers, all testified that in those regions
"where eternal silence reigns supreme, !"
the effect upon the brain and ear, from
the absence OF sonorous impulses in
the atmosphere, is exceedingly annoy,
ing and absolutely injurious to the au>
ditory nerves As the organs of hears
ing arc destroyed by loud aud contin>
ued noise, and an intense light will
weaken and Ultimately destroy the pow
er of sight, so it would appear that the
auditory or optic nerves become inn
paired by the partial or total depriva-
tion of their natural stimulus, light or
sound DIR. II. Rails Smith, of Chi
eaSo, wishing experimentally to inves>
tigate this subject, recently spent q
considerable length of time in the
Kentucky Mammoth Cave. whore ST.
lence and mPcnetrable darkness reign
ed supreme. The effect was very dis
tressing and almost nsurmountable, re-
sulting in temporary DETECTION of hear
ing and alteration of mind. From his
his own experience, this gentleman is
firmly convinced that the blindness OF
the fnny denizens of this cave have
been brought about gradually through
successive generations, and from his
observations he is confident that the
sense of hearing is also wanting in
these beings, although originally exist
ing in the species when first immersed
in their living tomb.

the rRoTHPLIGHT

Crimson red behind the hill
Day was sinking slowly;
Hushedly the wild birds sang
Notes of melancholy.
Homeward, from a bootless quest,
Went the wild bee humming;
Earth was weary, day was done,
And the night was coming.
Sadly thro' the greenwood way,
Walked youth and maiden,
Looking in each others eyes,
Fond and sorrow laden.
%Rudolph, now the country calls,
And our lives are parted:
BE thou braye-but keep thy troth,
And be eonstant-hearted."
tOf the cleaning golden hair
One bright lock she sund ers;
Day is dying-far away
Sound the battle thunders.
'"Fare thee well, mine own true love;
Where our flag is flying
/ shall bear thy lock of hair,
Faithful unto dying"
Faraway the thunder sounds,
Swiftly speeds the lover:
Wild and loud the days go by
Till the strife is over.
Red and bloody CLEANS the sun
Over dead and dying,
Sick to death upon the field
See the lover lying!
To comrade dear be cries.
"Truest friend, and nearest,
Bear this lock OF. bloody hair
To her my heart holds dearest.
Bertha we shall meet again
Where the true part never;
Bertha !" then his eyes grew dark,
And were closed forever.
Home to Bertha hied the friend.
Found her wild with weeping;

Ere he sank to sleeping"

Then she met his comrades eyes,
And she thought them kindly.
"Comfort! comfort! do not die!

And she thought them truthful.

Garfield. from the Committee on
Banking and Currency, reported to-
day on the gold and currency question.
The report gives circumstantial his
tory, and makes the following points !:
First-Prominent bankers and .mer-
chants who testified before the commit
tee, were nearly. unanimous in the opin-
ion that there was no sufficient reason
for the existence Of gold exchanges,
and that they are source of measure-
less evils and ought to be destroyed.
Second-The gold conspiracies dealt
heavy blow at our credit abroad by
shaking the faith of foreign capitalists
in the ability of our trade aud the hon
esty Of our people, and at home the
country was injured in its business and
morality, and the heavy and numerous
defalcations that shortly followed are
clearly traceable to the mad spirit en-
gagged in speculation.
Third - The committee find that
with wicked conspiracy the attempts to
implicate the President of the United
States or his family have utterly failed.
The report is severe on Corbin, who, it,
says, under worse hypocrisy than that
which puts on the guise of religion
and patriotism, used all his arts to learn
something from private conversation
which could be made profitable to him
and his fellow eonspirators. The re-
port relieves Mrs Grant and General
Porter from the suspicious of gold
gambling All the public funds en-.
trusted to Butteriield were faithfully
accounted for 1t is not conclusiyely
proved that he was concerned with the
conspirators, though the evidence on
this point is conflicting, Gould swearing
positively that he bought two lots of all
together million and a half Of gold
for Buttorfeld, who, on the other hand
denies this statement under oath. II
was proved that during his whole tern
of Office he was dealing largely in Uni
ted States bonds on his own account
The committee recommended the adop.
ton OF a resolution that the Committee
Of Ways and Means be instructed te
report a bill lev5ing such tax on gold
exchange and gold exchange clearing,
as in their judgment the interests o
the country demand that the commit,
tee be instructed to inquire into the
expedicncy of reporting billto pun,
ish conspiracy against the credit of thC
country and business of the people.
Cox and Jones unite in minorit,

conspiracy was involved in tie appoint
ment of the Assistant Treasurer a

change from the policy of Secretary
McCulloch; that sales Of gold, il a
all made, should be regulated by law

New York, March 3.--A Havana
letter gives the details of the arrest
and execution by the Spanish, of al.
legged members of the Cuban Junta at
Santiago The arrests numbered from
from forty to ffty and eighteen were
executed, including two Americans.
The victims were arrayed before the
Commission and condemned, and then
admitted the existence Of the associa.
tion to which they belong, but they
denied its being a political junta, and
said it was only Masonic Lodge, and
that they met as Masons for Masonic
purposes. This defence seemed to have
angered instead of satisfying the Span.

been noted for the ultraism of his 10y.

of the Cubans, pronounced Free Ma,

said that the risingi of the Yarra was
plotted and planned in Masonic Lodge
and that Cespedes is Mason, and

Consul, seconded by Ransden, the

ST. EMAEUEL's PIcNIc.-Since the
article in reply to the Demokrat and
Courier was put in type, the Union
comes with respectful correction of
what is claimed to be an error of the
JOURNAL in regard 70 this picnic.
All that remains to be said on the
subject is, that if the ladies spoke of
had called at the JOURNAL Office they
could have secured the insertion of
any correction that truth requires.
and they are respectfully solicited to
call at the Office and get the names of
those who gave the information on
which the report was based, and thus
settle the question of veracity.
In this connection, it may as we'll
be remarked that if anything finds its
way into these columns. which any
one deems unjust or untruthful, the
best way to secure correction is by
requesting it to be made, and not by
a Wholesale denunciation or threats.
While willing to yield to any just de-
mand properly made, threats of vic
lence have no effect.

every day life, are the primary causes
of many of the pains and aches which
they have to endure in after years.
He will also show the supremacy
of vegetable remedies over poisonous
minerals. The Professor comes here
we'll recommended, both as lecturer
and practitioner, and will remain with
his associate physician at the Sher-
wood House for FIVE days only. com

WHERE Do LIvE?-Johnny Coats,
of Detroit. was a convivial soul. who,
like many other canny Scots, dearly
loved his whisky, oh" Johnny had
been out one night until quite late,
imbibing his favorite drink, until his
ideas of localities became greatly
confused. and he wandered far from
the right direction, until he met a
policeman. whom he accosted with:
Hello, frien', could ye tell me where
one Johnny Coats lives?" The beak
took Johnny to a street lamp. and
after examining him, said Why,

taking his way wandered about. nearly
all night. until accidentally coming
near his lodgings, poor abused dog
whose caudal appendage he had re-
lieved OF tin ware adornments, on
divers occasions, recognized him, as
he leaned languidly against lamp
post. and carressing Cams hand, at
tracted his attention.
Poor Cam, who had about given up

dog, muttering. who says a dorg

Cam found his lodgings, although
during the night he had once mis-
taken the shadow of Venetian blind
in the sidewalk for the stairway lead

Cam warns all newspaper men not
to expose his weakness. but there was
nothing said against telling how
