Mental Projection.

From the Popular Science Review
A number Of mysterious manifesto.
tions are traceable 10 tho simple fact OF
recurrence OF impressions altogether IN.
dependently of the will There are others
which arc purely vohtional and these
constitute a distinct class OF hallncina-
tory phenomena They are illusions
produced by what l should call the fac
ulty Of projection OF objects that have
been received from without by the brain,
and Fixed in Il. Weexercise this faculty
naturally, when at will We repicture to
ourselves or project what We have seem
heard felt, or otherwise received by the
senses. We recall landscape we have
surveyed, tune we have heard, and the
like; and il the impression be correctly
fixed in us, aud we will il 10 return, IL
comes back correctly. In the act we
project from us that which we recall, and
look at 1t or listen 10 Il as II II were
again external TO us.
This faculty, exalted 10 an unnatural
degree, is fruitful source OF illusion.
Wigan supplies a 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 asked
ON what this peculiar power OF rapid
work depended he answered that when a
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
rs 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, aud 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
human skeleton with such perfection OF
detail that to him the form was a reality,
and when he stood before the foot-lights
he had in his presence in the theatre an
audience of skeletons.

1n1rrMENr OF CHOLERA.

There is good reason TO believe ina.
cholera will soon disappear. The Board
Of Health reported thirteen deaths yes
,srday in the city, Of which three were
from cholera. The undertakers reported
seoen iutsrments, five of the deaths be-
inc from cholera. The difference was
accustomed doubtless from the fact that
the deaths Of one day are put dsWn as
;nterments the next. The mortality oil
the city is little, if any, more than usual
at this time of the year. If our people

ordeal of suffering and loss of life is
now declared to be free from cholera no
deaths having occurred from the disease
for two days. No cholera was reported
in Cincinnati yesterday, and the Mont
gouery, Alabama, papers Indignantly
DENY that the cholera has been IN that
citv this season, and state that it only
appeared at two places-Huntsville and
Birmingham-but has disappeared IRON

the latter. A few cases have been re-
ported in New York, but some OF the
doctors deny that it was genuine chol'

They are making stout effort TO

disease has run its course. At Shelby

took place in Chattanooga from cholera

reported from cholera. The Greenville
people have scattered over East Tennes-

DERS0N-WEBBER- Wednesday, the

Thejnteresting ceremony was witnessed by
number of the friends ofthe bride and groom.
and many and earnest were the congratula-
tiOns rendered the happy pair at the close Of
the ceremony. The gentleman is well known
in this city as one of the cotton men Of Front
street, and stands deservedly high in the esti-
nation of oil acquaintance and friends. The
lady is also well-known resident of Mem
phis. and one who possesses all the elements
Of loneliness that are so attractive in social
circles. Such a union cannot fail to be pro-
ductive of all the happiness in store for those
who stand beneath the torch of Hymen in his
Court of Nuptials. Health, wealth and hap
piness attend the gallant groom and accom-
plished bride. as they make the voyage Of life
adown the beautiful river of time. The we'd

THE MEMPHIS AND HOLLY SPRINGS
RAILROAD.

The committee appointed at the last
term of the Quarterly Court to examine
the work done on the Memphis and Sell
ma railroad submitted an adverse and a
very damaging report yesterday. 1t
was signed by Justices William Wallace,
w. II. Walker, Tom Holman, jr 1,
and County Attorney W. W. Mcdowell
A measurement and estimate of the
work done on this road to the Shelby
county line was made by Mr.. 81. N.
Pharr, a competent engineer, assisted
by Major j. 7. Champneys, and accom-
panied by two gentlemen representing
the railroad company. The road claims
$l42,830 81. The report Of the commit.
tee reduces this to s76,52l ga differ
ence of $66,3OS %. Upon such show
ing the committee emphatieally reports
against issuing the third installment Of
100000 in certificates OF county sub
scription. The report of the company
shows that Sl72, 900 has been realized on
the two series of certificates sold, which,
deducted from the work actually done,
would leave a balance on hand Of $685.
476. Therefore it is recommended that
the company be required to make up
from other sources this amount, and ex-
pend it in the county according to the
terms Of the contract before any more
tax be levied or certificates issued.
There is evidently mistake somewhere,
and big one. We are not prepared to
locate il when two engineers measure the
same work and differ so widely. Whea ex-
perts cannot agree other people cannot
be expected to do so. We think, however,
the committee should be continued or
new one appointed to make further invss-
LEGATIONS into the affairs Of the road, and
see whether the discrepancies can be
reconciled. II not, then the county
must take care Of itself az best it can.
The people have paid 10 taxes $500 900
toward a road which is fourteen miles
long, and IL Is material that they should
want something 10 show for t. Il il quite
