physician and the anatomist have not been

even these are found to be necessary, we

who might be put in that category it
might puzzle anybody to know what they
are capable of; aud yet it is certain they
have some charge committed to them to
keep, aud that, if true believers, they are

STANDARDIZATION

From the Popular Science Reyiew.I
A number of mysterious manifesto
tions are traceable to the simple fact OF
recurrence Of impressions altogether in
dependently of the will. There are others
which are purely volitional, and these
constitute distinct class Of hallucina-
tory phenomena. They are illusions
produced by what | should call the fac
ulty of projection of objects that have
been received from without by the brain,
and fixed in it. We exercise this faculty
naturally, when at will we repicture to
ourselves or project what we have seen,
heard, felt, or otherwise received by the
senses. We recall landscape we have
surveyed, a tune we have heard, and the
like; and if the impression be correctly
fixed in us, and we will it to return, it
comes back correctly. In the act we
project from us that which we recall, and
look at it or listen to it as if it were
again external to us.
This faculty, exalted to an unnatural
degree, is fruitful source of illusion,
Wigan supplies striking illustration Of
the kind in the case Of an eminent por-
trait painter who followed Sir Joshua
Reynolds. The painter in question once
produced three hundred portraits from
his own hand in one year. When as ked
on what this peculiar power of rapid
work depended he answered that when
sitter came to him he looked at him at
tentively for half an hour, sketching
from time to time on his canvas; then he
put away the canvas and took another
sitter. When he wished to resume the
first portrait, he said, " took the man
and put him in the chair, and saw him
as distinctly as if he had been before me
in his own proper person. When looked
at the chair saw the man.
After while the painter began to fail
to discover the difference between the
real and imaginary sitters, so that he be-
came actually insane, and remained in
an asylum for thirty years. Then his
mind was restored to him, and he re-
sumed the use Of the pencil; but the old
evil threatened to return, and he once
more forsook his art, soon afterward to
die. Talma, the actor, had faculty Of
mental projection equally singular with
that possessed by the artist whose his
tory Wigan has related Talma could
project before himself the form of a
human skeleton with such perfection OF
detail chat to him the form was reality,
and when he stood before the foot-lights
he had in his presence in the theatre an
audience of skeletons.

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

. The Fourth of July was observed more
generally in this city yesterday than for
many years. Nearly all places of bust
ness were closed, and the almost painful
quietude that reigned in the marts oftrade
was relieved by professions of gaily
dressed people. following bands of music
to picnic grounds, and the enlivening
bang of fire crackers and patriotic torpe-
does placed where they would do the
most good. To some it was a day of
rest and recreation, and with other
classes it was a national anniversary,
dedicated to the goddess of liberty and
the American eagle. No New Highlander
in our midst could complain that the
glorious Fourth was overlooked, or that
there was any lack of respect shown the
American flag which was SO profusely dis
played from public and private buildings.
The fact is, we are a cosmopolitan, lib
erty-loviDg people, with an ardent re-
gard for the natal day of American indie
pendence. It's celebration is one of the
principles not taken away from US or re-
stricted when conferred upon the rest
of mankind " in our midst. We love
the Fourth of July as much as anybody
in the Union, and challenge any city Of
similar size to produce larger bills than
we can for powder burned yesterday and
last night. We hope the government
will take this into consideration, and
hasten the building of our custom-house.
Externally there is not more loyal city
in the Union, and we do not believe
there is much mental reservation among
the people. The Thermometer was nearly
1902 in the shade, yet an immense
concourse Of people attended the or
phans piclc at James Park and other
wise publicly observed the day, while the
colored population turned out unani-
mously, as though they had all been set
free on the Fourth of July. We always
thought it was all foolishness to throw
away the Fourth Of July in one section
Of the Union when every State has a
share in the memories and honors Of the
first Revolution. We might as well in
one sense discard the English language,
II We knew any other, because the Yam
KEGS " corrupt it with a nasal twang. |
The people Of the South are coming to |
a fair understanding Of this subject; in
fact, they we're quite warmed up yester-
day, and gave the Fourth such a welcome I
that It fingered on the air long into the /
ambient night and the refrain Of Hail |
Columbia did not die away on land and /
river until long after the last horn-of
the crescent moon-ssnk below the
tropical horizon. The day is fully re-
stored to the calendar.

tragedy In Kentucky.

MoUxr STERLING, KY, July 40
day has been day of intense excite
ment at Owingsville, not unmixed with
bloodshed, on the strength of the con-
fession of the horsethief, Hayden. Sat
terfeld, for firing the town of Owings-
vile in April last, was bailed out and
bis trial postponed from time to time,
until to-day, when sudden end was put
to proceedings against him, from the
fact that he was shot and killed by Mr..
Charles Hoon, a furniture dealer, and
the jailer Of Bath county. When Hayden
was giving his testimony against Satter-
field yesterday, and reciting how the
accused had tried to hire him to Ere the
town, Colonel Hurd, counsel for Sat
ter6eld, accused him Of swearing to a
lie. The witness made at the lawyer,
and Immediately Satter6eld and his
crowd sprang to their feet, weapons in
hand. Fortunately, the frmness Of
Hoon, Wash Barnes, and few other
cool and determined men, averted col
lision which would have been terrible in
its effects. The only result was STAN
pede Of the spectators. The court adj
journed until to-day, as it was evident the
trial could not proceed without Eight.
Satterfeld, before leaving for home yes
terday evening, was loud in his threats
to kill Hoon, Barnes and three other
citizens Of 0wingsville who had shown
a dissemination that be should be
brought to justice. To-day Satter6eld,
accompanied by his son and son-in-law,
came to town armed TO the teeth with
guns, pistols and knives. Hoon did not
give him an opportunity TO pvt bis
threats into execution. but fred the con-
tents Of both barrels Of shotgun loaded
with buckshot into his body, causing
wounds which produced death in short
time. Deceased was VIGOROUSLY des-

PerIIs Of sum-Fi.hIng in ireland,

The London Telegraph of June 9Th
tells curious story of the perils Of deep
sea angling in Irish wsters,in which five
fishermen lost their lives in pursuit of a
sun-fsh:
The sun fish, though occasionally
caught with hook and bait, is generally
speared or harpooned like the whale. II
derived It's name from being usually seen
in fine weather from long distances
shining on the surface Of the sea, and
basking, as it we're, in the heat. The
oil from one Of these creatures is said TO
be worth go (Sl00) and it is no wonder
that the prospect of such prize tempted
the fishermen Of Shark Island, on the
Irish coast, 10 make an effort for its cap
ture. A short time ago crew started
of in pursuit Of this valuable quarry.
They succeeded in spearing the fish,
which from It's strength and weight, they
we're then obliged TO play, the wounded
monster being able to drag the boat
several miles distance, keeping up It's
pace for three or four hours. The
fish was ultimately TO all appearances
tired out, and the men began 70 hail him
IN in order 70 lash him 70 the gunwale OF
their craft. A second harpoon was
driven into him in order that be might
