Nutrition for the Brain.

SOME time ago Professor Agassiz, in a
speech before Boston assemblage, assert
cd that a fish diet, on account of the guam
tity of phosphorus contained in it, is especi-
ally adapted to nourish the brain, and that
those persons who subsist upon it largely
are, consequently, more likely than Others
if possessing the same natural powers, to
be distinguished for their brightness and
intellectually. Professor AgassiI is gener-
ally regarded as being, in such matters
the highest authority in the United States,
if not the very highest living, and this esti-
mate is undoubtedly correct; but DR.. G.
NJ. Beard, excellent scientific authority,
opposes the Professors theory, in an able
magazine article arguing that brain work
requires richer and more substantial food,
and larger gu nifty oft, than mechanics
and laboring M n, because:
- First Labor of the brain causes greater
loss of tissue than labor of the muscles,
three hours of hard study producing more
important changes of tissue than whole
day of muscular labor.
Second Brain workers, as class, are
more active in their work than mechanics
and laborers, the thinking powers, the tools
of trade of brain-workers, being always at
hand and seldom idle.
Third Braiu-workers exercise, more or
less, all the other organs of the body as
we'll as the brain.
DR.. Beard, to coroborate his views,
cites various nationalities. For example,
the Romans, Persians, and Babylonians,
were dominant nations among the ancients,
and they were free and luxurious in their
habits of eating In modern times the
English, Germans, French and Americans
are ruling nations s, and they are good feed
ers, and some of them pretty hard drinkers.
So our brain-workers have two theories
beween them, and they can take their
choice. Shall it be fish or roast beef, etc. ?

The Heathen Chinee.

A CORRESPONDENT inquiries whether
Mr.. Nye, the Nevada Senator, is the Bill
Nye who was described by Bret Harte in
his well known poem. By the way, Our
friend insists that the poem has been mis-
understood and badly garbled by some
stupid printer. John Chinaman is repre-
sented in the current version of the story
as having sccreted twentyfour packs OF
cards in his sleeve. This is absurd,
besides being "a physical impossible
ity. The game was euchre, in which the
knave is the best card in the pack. Harte
wrote jacks, and the thing might have been
done; sleeve full of jacks, skillfully
handled, would have insured the discom-
future of Bill Nye, and filled the pocket OF
the heather Chinee. But the Nevada Sen
ator is not the man at ALL His name is
Jim Nye, and the pagan who picks him up
in the hope of winning his money is like
ly to make a bad business of it. In the
good old Barnburner days, when John
Van Buren split the Democratic party in
twain and defeated Gen. Cass, Nye, at that
time Judge of Madison county, and warm
sympathizer with Van Buren, laid wager
of three hundred dollars that the Barn
burner electoral ticket would receive more
votes in the county than the Hunker. As
election day approached, the Judge, hay
ing made careful canvass, discovered that
it was close thing and became alarmed
about the result. The sum at stake was a
large amount for Nye in those days, and he
cast about for the means of winning his
bet. AT the September term of his court
two men were indicted for an otfense in
which they had been jointly engaged
They were convicted, and one of them, a
Barnburner, was sentenced to twenty days
Imprisonment, while the other, Hunker,
was ordered to be shut up for thirty days
AS the Sheriff was taking the prisoners to
Jail, the unfortunate Cass man exclaimed
"Ten days extra for being Hunkerl and
it carries me over the election" "That's
So" replied the Judge land, curse you,
what business have you to be Hunker?'
Nye won his bet by two votes and our
friend inquiries whether man of such re-
sources would be likely to lose his money
through the tricks Of any heather Chi.

Success In Life.

THE great evil upon which we have
fallen in these days of rapid fortunes and
extravagant living, will be appreciated if
we ask ourselves what meaning is attached
to the word Success. What are our young
people taught as comprising true success
in life? What class of men are held up as
the true type of manhood, and as worthy
of emulation? When Mr. Greeley talks of
selfmade fmen, who are the bright eX-
amples he holds up to view, and whom
does he ask our young men to pattern
after--the men of ideas, of moral power, of
strong virtues, or of great wealth I? What is
meant by success in life when the instances
most cited in this connection are Astor,
Girard, Stewart, and Vanderbilt? Who
ever speaks of men like Elihu Burritt and
that class of pure philanthropists and
scholars, who are constantly thinking so
much of others that they have no time to
devote to the accumulation of wealth.
While we laud to the skies such men as
Peabody, who having lived within him
self until he had amassed great wealth;
and got through with its use and aggran-
dizement, bequeathed it to such purposes
and under such restrictions as suited his
fancy or his ambition, we are quite apt to
lose sight of the thousands of tender hearts
and great souls whose wonderful benevo-
lence and ow-feeling have made it i'm
possible that they should grow rich save
in the blessings Of those whom they have
helped. Is it not time that a new lexicon
was prepared, or the old ones amended, SO
that our " coming men and women shall
have different idea of the true meaning
of success ?-H0lae Magazine.

Throwing Dice-.-S1OO,OOO Against a
Lady's Hand.

THERE lived on -- street, in an
unpretending establishment surrounded by
trees and flowers, young lady who was
celebrated for her beauty and accomplish
ments. She was blonde, with blue eyes,
white teeth and heavenly smile; had the
prettiest hand and foot that ever were
seen; and was tall, 1.-the and elegant Her
wit was delicate, pointed and sparkling,
and her mind as superior as her person
was lovely. The town was at her feet, and
her suitors were as importunate, if not as
many as Penelope's, like whom she was
continually woed and yet never won. In
the midst of her success came the war, the
end of which found her family impover-
ished, and herself reduced to want for the
necessaries of life.
But she was still the same proud, impe-
rious mistress of hearts as before, and she
refused in quick succession the many offers
of marriage that were now made to her.
She had not thought of matrimony as a
resource, hut had other and different pros
poets in view; She proposed, in fact, to
teach q school.
A fellow townsman, gentleman of
wealth and position, and bachelor, had
long been a silent worshipper at her
shrine. He had houses and lands, estates
in the country and lots in the city, stocks
interests and investments wherever they
would pay; and his private establishment
on - street was simply palatial. See
ing how the case stood with her whom he
loved with his whole soul, be resolved

mere scratch on the hand or face Is more
dangerous than If deep incision had been
made by the teeth, as in the latter case the
flow of blood would be likely toeassist in
carrying off the poison. The Professor
advises that the wound or wounds be in
stantly washed again and again with soap
and water, to prevent the possibility of
any poison adhering. Caustic potash
should then be applied for about quarter
of minute, and then be followed by a
poultice of bread and milk. the latter to be
continued for two days.
THE following story is told of the early
days of Wyoming Territory: In the bar
room of way y-side tavern, where the stage
stopped to change horses, and where team
sters tarried to drink, few rough custom
ers sat one afternoon beside the stove.
Enter a mountain rufilan, venomously
drunk, who fetched out his revolver ana
commenced practising with it at various
objects behind the bar and on the walls.
While this was going on, the cries OF an
ox-teamster to his approaching cattle were
heard, and soon the driver appeared within
the door. Stalking up to the bar he called
for a glass of liquor; but, as he raised it
to his dirty lips, the tumbler was shattered
by well-ai shot from the practising
mans revolver Without word the bull
whacker put his hand behind his back,
produced his pistol, levelled it at the ruff
fans head, and remarked, as the body
dropped to the floor, "That scoundrel
would have hurt somebody pretty soon."
He then filled another glass and drank the
contents, strobe out as deliberately as he
naa come in, and with "Woa, haw,
therel' started his oxen up the road.

A Novel Cure.

ALEXANDER DUMAS published, some
time ago, in daily Paris paper, a novel, in
which the heroine, prosperous and happy,
is assailed by consumption. All the slow
and gradual symptoms were most natural
ly and touchingly described, and the great
est interest was felt for the heroine.
One day the Marquis Dalomieu called on
him.

the end Of the story now being published

"Of course"
"Does the heroine die in the endS"

Your daughter's?"
Yes she has all the various symptoms

POLITICAL.

Mr.. Gaston's plurality for Mayor of
Boston is shown by the official returns to
be exactly 5000.
The Female Suffrage bill has been de.
feated in the Dakota Territorial Legisla-
ture by vote of sixteen to seven.
An Augusta, Ga, dispatch of the Oath
says sufficient returns had been received to
show that the State had gone Democratic
at the recent election. The Democrats had
certainly carried five Congressional Dis
tricts.
The Labor Reform party of New Hamp-
shire held State Convention in Concord
on the 9th, and nominated Samuel P.
Cooper, of Croydon, for Governor. George
Roberts, of Rochester, was renominated
for Railroad Commissioner. The follow
ing Congressional nominations were made
First District, Emory A. Hibbard, of La
COMA; Second, W. II. Cove, of Weare
Third, Il. D. Baker, of Claremont.
The North Carolina Senate, sitting as a
Court of Impeachment has ordered the
answer of Governor Holden to the articles
of impeachment to be filed on or before
January 90, and that the case will stand
for trial on January 80.
A. F. Stevens has been renominated for
Congress by the Republicans of the Third
Vermont District.
An Atlanta, Ga, dispatch of the 2Sth
says; "Thos. j. Speer, Republican, has
been elected in the Fourth District to the
Forty Congress, by 800 majority
Jefferson T. Long, Republican, has been
elected from the same district to the For
ty-first Congress. 1t is believed that John
S. Bagby, Republican, in the Third Dis.
trict, and Richard A. Whitney, Republi,
can, in the Second District, are elected
Adam P. Price, Democrat, is elected in the
Sixth District by large majority. Elbert
White, Banks, Madison, Habersham and
Franklin counties are largely Democratic
Several members of the North Carolina
Legislature arrived in Washington on the
2Sth, from Raleigh. They state that
Governor Holden expects that he viii be
impeached. 1t is doubtful whether he will
attempt any defence. 1t was proposed tC
engage some emipent counsel from among
the Conservative lawyers Of the State, bu
the Raleigh Sentinel, in a recent article
says no one would dare defend Governor
Holden.

How We Hear and See.

HELMBoLTz, the best living authority
on the subject of sound, says that con-
nected with the end of the acoustic nerve
are 5000 strained microscopic tibers, called
"Corte's organ" and that it is probable
that every sound that reaches the ear sets
those chords in vibration that are sympa
thetically tuned to it, just as voice will
set in vibration those strings of piano
that are stretched to produce the same
tone. These different vibrations are rec
ognized by the mind by its connection
with the nerve and brain.
A similar mechanism probably exists in
the eye. The retina of the eye, which is
the extremity of the optic nerve, is covered
with exceedingly minute bodies, called
"rods and cones" These, it is very proba-
BILE, have the faculty of vibrating under diff
ferent influences The red light is pro-
duced by vibrations of about 430 quadril-
lions of waves per second. 1t may set in
vibration any "rods and cones" that are
tuned to such vibration, while those that
are sympathetic to the 760 quadrillions of
waves of violet light will be set in motion
thereby.
This suggests that just as ears differ in
their sensitiveness, some hearing shrill
sound that is utterly inaudible to others
whose nerve-cords are not attuned to
them, so 1t may be IN nSnI. Inc arrange
ment of the rods and cones may differ
in different persons And so it is. 1t is
familiar fact that some persons are color
blind" They cannot distinguish red.
That is, tlfeir "rods and cones" have not
the right length or elasticity to vibrate
sympathetically with a wave-length as
large as those at the red end of the spec
trum And it is a fact that some others
can see colors in the ultraviolet end of the
spectrum to some distance beyond what is
visible to most.
Now if we were to extend this variation
little, we may suppose that some animals
may be able to distinguish as light by their
differently constructed eyes a vibration
that is quite insensible to our eyes. 1t
would require as slight change in the
eve to make the dark heat rays visible as
is the difference between the eyes of man
who can see only from the violet of the
spectrum to the orange, and the eyes OF
him who can see also the red. In fact, the
prominent eyes of the mollusks, at the ut
terly dark depths of mid ocean, may be
useful, for ought we know, in seeing by
means of rays of heat of low tempera-
ture. Even the modified heat of the cur
rents of 80 deg. f. may give these animals
abundant use for their eyes.
