SUPERINTENDENT COUNTY ScHOoLs-.
Last Monday the Quarterly Court elected
J. E. Hopkins, Esq, superintendent Of
the public schools of Hardemla county.
There were four candidates for the pos
elton, all of whom appeared in court, and
having been granted fifteen minutes each
wherein to say their say if anything they
had to say concerning election or defeat,
they put forth their claims so and so if
not moreso. For once, all the Magistra-
ties were in their seats, and as soon as
the aspirants for the important Office were
choked off 10y the fleeing moments or
modesty declined the privilege of max
ing speech, the election began and
ended as follows

mr.. Editor -
There are some things we like to see.
We like to see in the country good
crops growing void of grass and weeds.
This can only be realized in part in this
county now, for se have good crop of
weeds and grass. Corn looks well enough
where the soil has been dry enough to
cultivate the crop on it. Low lands have
been too wet this season. Cotton crops
have been choked with grass up to this,
the last day of June; Notwithstanding
cotton looks, on dry soil, as if it would
make an average crop. We never can
Judge of two things correctly, before its
time one is the yield of a growing cot~
ton crop; the other is the price it will
sell at when ready for market. 1t has
rained, think, every day, in this county,
somewhere, since tie Sth inst. Now we
have told you what we like to see in the
country, and what may be seen
We will now tell you what we ike to
see, when we go to town, and what may
be seen. When we go to Bolivar, we
like to see good racks to hitch our horses
to and 80 high that we cannot reach the
pegs When we go to town, we find the
few remaining parts of racks shakey, and
uncertain to hitch or tie to. And if our
boys go, they cannot hitch and unhitch,
without stills, or a ladder
l think it right to hereby inform our
authorities that the Circuit Court will
soon meet, when and where we country
Jakes must attend Where will our
horses be accommodated What shall
we tie to? This is our business; but
whose business is it to have racks put up

EATING WHEN EXHAUSTED When
the strength or nerve power is already
worn out or used up, the digestion of
food only makes fresh demand upon it,
and If 1t be unable to meet the demand.
the food is only burden upon it, pro-
ducing mischief. Our bodies have been
compared to steam engines, the food be-
ing the fuel and steam produced being
the nerve power. The analogy holds
good to certain extent. If, when the
steam is low, because the fire is low, you
pitch in too fast quantity of coal, you
put out your fire, and if you have de-
pended upon steam power to fan your
fires that is also extinguished. Beyond
this the comparison fails. You may
clean out your furnaces and begin again,
but in the body the consequence of this
overlooking are dangerous and sometimes
fatal. No cause of cholera is more COM
mon than eating freely when exhausted.
The rule should be to rest for time, and
take some simple refreshment, cup or
a part of cup of tea, little broth, or
even piece of bread anything simple
and in small amount, just to stimulate
the stomach slightly and begin to restore
its power. After rest, a moderate guam
tity will be refreshing. Never eat full
meal when exhausted. Take first small
quantity of anything simple which may
be handy, and rest. Then, after time,
proper food will be blessing not bur-
den. The fires will burn, the steam will
be up, and you can go on your way safe
ly. 1t is not amiss, In this connection,
to say that children would avoid many
a feverish night and many an attack of
disease, if mothers would follow this rule.

AT SEA WITH AN INSANE CAPTAIN.-
The Liverpool Mercury of Nov. Goth,
gives an account of terrible affair oc-
curing at sea, from which we condense
the following The River Eden, ves-
sci of about 800 tons, hailing from Liv-
erpool, left London Oct. 10Th, for VAL
paraiso, having on board general car
60 made up, in considerable degree, OF
combustibles, and including 150 tons of
gunpowder. About three weeks after
leaving port, the captain whose name
was Bowden, manifested signs of insanity
the symptoms rapidly increasing and de-
elaring his intention of blowing up the
vessel. One night after having been
persuaded to retire from the deck where
he had been acting in very excited
manner, he appears to have saturated
everything in his cabin with paraffine oil
and fired it. The mate ON entering the
cabin was struck ON the head by a shot
from the captains revolver, but was not
seriously injured. The men of course
found it impossible to extinguish the
flames, and the danger of an explosion
of powder was imminent. The boat was
therefore got out, and the captain being
disabled by blow upon the arm from a
handspike, was with some considerable
difficulty put on board, the crew aban-
doned the doomed vessel and rowed away
as rapidly as possible, having had no
time to secure either extra clothing or
provisions. At daybreak the vessel blew
up. Several hours afterward the boat
was fortunately picked up by the Juani-
Ia, Captain Harlock of North Shields.
aud the poor fellows, about seventeen in
number, rescued from dreadful fate.
1t was found necessary to put Captain
Bowden in irons. His legs were dashed
to the deck, and an awning put over him
for protection, but one day he contrived
to evade the watch set over him, and
working his ankles free jumped over
board. The crew were transferred from
the Juanita to the steamer Aurora,
which carried them to Bahia, whence
they were sent to England.

PERSISTENCE OF EARLY IMPRESSIONS
IN OLD AGE.-The impairment of the
memory in old age commonly shows it,
self in regard to new impressions those
of the earlier period of life not only re-
naming in full distinctness, but even it
would seem increasing in vividness, from
the fact that the eye is not distracted
from attending to them by the cqatinued
influx of impressions produced BY pass
ing events. The extraordinary persist
ence of early impressions, when the mind
seems almost to have ceased to register
new ones, is in remarkable accordance
with law Of nutrition have formerly
referred to. 1t is when the brain is grow
ing that the direction of its structure can
be most strongly and persistently given
to it. Thus the habits of thought come
TO be formed, and those nerve tracks laid
down which Gas the psychologist believes
constitute the mechanism of association
by the time the brain has reached its
maturity and the nutrition of the organ
continues to keep up the same mechan-
ism in accordance with the demands up
on its activity, SO long as it is being call
ed into use. Further, during the entire
period of vigorous manhood, the brain,
like the muscles, may be taking on some
additional growth, either as whole or
IN specia parts new tissue being devel-
oped and kept up by the nutrilive pro-
cess, in accordance with the modes of
action to which the organ is trained.
And in this way store of " impressions"
or traces " is accumulated, which may
be brought within the "sphere of con-
sciousness whenever the right suggest
ing strings are touched. But as the nu-
tritiye activity diminishes, the :" waste .
becomes more rapid than the renovation
and it would seem that while (to use a
commercial analogy the old-established
houses" keep their ground, those late
firms, whose basis is less secure, are the
first to crumble away-the nutritive ac-
tivity, which yet suffices to maintain the
original structure, not being capable of
keeping the subsequent additions TO it in
working order. This earlier degenera-
tion of later formed structures is gem
eral fact perfectly familiar to the physi-
ologist.- Wiilidm Carpenter

A CURIOUS NATURALIST The New
Haven Press holds itself responsible for
the truth of the following
"Mr. Mendell, of St. Louis, Mo-, who
has been for the last few days staying
with some friends in this city, has a most
singular love for insect life, and an init
mate knowledge of the character and
temper of several members of the insect
family, which ne carries about with him
for the purpose of diversion and study.
In one of his pockets Mr.. Mendell has
domesticated colony of small brown
ants, trained in their intelligence to do
some surprising things. He will place a
piece of sugar upon table and retire a
few PAGES from it, when by some manip.
ulation which his industrious pets under
stand the meaning of, he persuades them
to come out and march in Indian file
down the leg of his psntaloons, across
the floor, up the leg of the table, until
they reach the sugar. The ants will, af-
ter each one has supplied itself with a
tiny grain of the sweet commodity, take
up the line of march on return trip to
Mr.. Mendell's pocket, into which they
will enter, each one with its load of
sweets. The same gentleman had also
in his collection of insect pets dozen or
more of green bugs, with black stripes
running around their bodies, and which,
he says, are peculiar inhabitants of a
species of acacia tree. These bugs will,
at a motion of their masters finger, go
through some remarkable acrobatic per-
formances, walking first on their hind
legs and afterwards on their fore legs,
the hinder part of their bodies being ell
evated, their only word of command, so
to speak, being given by the motion of
their trainers finger. Mr.. Mendell has
for some years found great pleasure In
devoting his leisure hours to pursuits of
the kind above mentioned, and ought
certainly to write book"
