A late State Register publishes in
full decision Of Judge Mitchell in
what is known in that District ~ the
"Winterset Beer Case" The case re-
opened the question on the wine and
beer law Of this State enacted in 1858.
The Register says. THE law In ques-
ton, the consti.utionality Of which
The opinion afiirms, is incorporated 10
full in the decision. It Is an impor-
tant opinion, being the first which
has been pronounced upon this par
ticular statute. The Supreme Court,
as is stated In this opinion, some time
ago decided the wine and beer law OF
1870 unconstitutional, holding that the
public can enact laws only through
legislation. This late opinion affirms
the Constitutionality Of the law Of
1868, and the authority Of city councils
under 1t to prohibit the sale Of wine
and beer. The decision il one whose
conclusions, as it appears to us, are
defensible, sound and right; and,
should the case be appealed, we believe
the higher court will sustain and af.
firm it,"

Fifteen years ago the first Atlantic
cable was laid. 1t merely conveyed
the congratulations Of the President of
the United States and the Queen OF

another sentence. The next cable
was that Of 1865, which broke few
weeks ago. The third is that Of 1865,

it would appear he was well calculated
to fill, being endowed by nature with a
gentle disposition so well suited for the

attachments fitted to adininistes medi-

would appear was affected by an attack

PHENOMENA or THE BRAiN.-0nc or
the most inconceivable things in the
nature of the brain is that, although
the organ of sensation, it should itself
he insenible. To cut the brain gives
no pain, yet in the brain resides the
power of feeling pain in any part of the
body. If the nerve which leads to it
from the injured part be divided, we
become instantly unconscious Of suffer-
ing. 1t is only by communication with
the brain that any kind of sensation is
produced, yet the organ is itself insen-
sible. But there is circumstance
more wonderful still-a certain portion
of the brain itself may be removed
without destroying life. The animal
lives, and performs all those functions
which are necessary to simple vitality,
but it has no longer a mind. 1t can
not think or feel. 1t requires that the
food should be pushed into the stom-
ach; once there it is digested, and the
animal will thrive and grow fat. We
infer, therefore, that a part of the brain
is simply intended for the exercise of
the intellectual faculties, whether of
the lower degree, called instinct, or of
the exalted kind bestowed on man,
called reason.
