The Elements Of Onr Allies.

Civilization depends on morality. Every
thing good in man leans on what is higher.
This rule holds in small as in great: thus
all our strength and success in the work of
our hands depend on our borrowing the
aid of the elements. You have seen
carpenter on the ladder with broad axe,
chipping upwards chips from BEAM
How awkward ! At what disadvantage he
works But see him on the ground dress
ing his timber under him. Now, not his
feeble muscles, but the force of gravity
brings down the axe; that is to say, the
planet itself splits the stick. The farmer
had much ill-temper, laziness, and shirking
to endure from his hand sawyer until, one
day, he bethought him to put his saw mill
on the edge of waterfall; and the river
never tires of turning his wheel; the river
is good natured and never hints an objec-
ton. We had letters to send. Couriers
could not 60 fast enough, nor far enough;
broke their wagons; foundered their horses
had bad roads in the spring, snow drifts
in Winter. heats in Summer; could not get
the horses off walk. But we found out
that the air and earth were full of electric
ity, and always going our way-just the
way we wanted to send. Would he take
message? Just as lief as not; had nothing
else to do; would carry it in no time
Only one doubt occurred, one staggering
objection-he had no carpet-bag, no visible
pockets, no hands, not so much as q mouth
to carry letter. But after much thought
and many experiments we managed to meet
the conditions and to fold up the letter in
such an invisible, compact form as he could
carry in those invisible pockets of his never
wrought by needle or thread and it went
like a charm. Now that is the wisdom of
man-in every instance of his labor to
hitch his wagon to a star, and see his
chores done by the gods themselves. That
is the way we are strong, by borrowing the
might of the elements. The forces of
steam, gravity, galvanism, light, magnets,
wind, fire, serve us day by day and cost
nothing. .-Emerson.

Miss Butterworth was calm again. She
knew that she had done her cause no good,
but was determined to finish her errand.

both, and if you don't reform this business,
and set Tom Buffnm at doing something
else, and treat Gods poor more like human
beings, shall get out of Sevenoaks before
it sinks; for sink it will if there is any hole
big enough to put it in.
Well, I'll think Of it, said Mr.. Bel
cher deliberately.
"Tell me you'll do it,
"fm not used to doing things in hurry
Mr.. Buffum is a friend of mine, and I've
always regarded him as very good man
for the place. Of course, if there's any
thing wrong it ought to be righted, but
think you've exaggerated"
"No, you don't mean to do any thing.
I see it. Good -night,' and she had swept
out of the door before he could say another
word or rise from his chair.
The Cecil Whig., 1874-12-19
Curing Insanity by Irritating the Skin.

There are many cases published in the
medical journals relating to insanity, says
DR.. Brown Sequard, showing that a large
number of patients have been cured sud
denly by means Of irritation of the skin,
that was either accidental or employed by
a physician. There are other means more
curious and equally effective, as in the case
| am about to mention. A patient in
lunatic asylum met another one who struck
Lis head and broke the Uranium on the
ri ,ht side. The brain eozed out; a good
deal of it was lost, and the patient was
culed of his insanity and epilepsy. This
is rather a dangerous means of treatment.
however, and Of course I speak of it only
to show that an irritation brought to the
brain may often cure. 1t is in that way
that bold surgeons-as many there were in
this country in the period from 1925 to
lS50-who have brought their instruments
to the Uranium and made an opening there,
in cases of epilepsy, in search of a disease
at that place that did not exist, have very
frequently cured their patients. But not
because they have taken away the disease
that they supposed existed there, but be-
cause they have produced an irritation
which has done it. But | may add that it
is not necessary to open the Uranium,
though it has been done, to my knowledge,
more than fifty times in this country. All
that is called for is an irritation of the
skin of the Uranium and of the fbrous
band that covers the boue between the
skin and brain. Irritation there has a very
good chance of curing epilepsy in many
very obstinate cases. There are many
cases on record showing that an intlam-
nation in almost any Of the organs of the
body is sufficient to check insanity. In
the same ways other affections of the brain,
such as amaurosis or paralysis, may be
cured suddenly sometimes without any
cause that We can find, but with good
ground certainly to believe that irritation
has acted which has produced a change in
the cells of the brain and diminished their
morbid activity. For there are clear cases
in which those affections have been cured
by such irritation. Those alterations of
cells that were producing an arrest of the
power of sight or paralysis have been sub
,mitted to an irritation of parts of the skin
or of some viscus, and this irritation going
to the morbid Iart ana producing change
in the activity of those cells, has cured the
disease. So that double mechanism of
arrest may take place in all these cases.
The Cecil Whig., 1874-12-19

There is in the brain an irritation starting
from the place where there is a disease.
tion goes to parts at distance and acts on
cells to stop their activity: but another
irritation starting from some parts of the
body goes to the parts that are diseased
and there acts on the morbidly active cells
and stops their activity, so that the effect
that resulted from the disease ceased. So
one phenomenon of arrest produced the
cessation of another.

steps for putting the university in OPP
GRAFTON. and it is stated that the de-
nomination was largely represented by
her prominent men, and that the pro-
ceedings We're characterized by harmo-
ny in word and action.
The Board of Trustees, which is
made up of citizens Of Tennessee, Ais
ALBANIA, Louisiana, Mississippi and
Texas, includes, for East Tennessee,
Rev. DR.. Mays and Jno. L. Moses, OF

cHARLrOA's BUGLE BLASTS.
What he Thinks of the Late Demo.
cratic Convention.

From Daily Chronicle of Aug. 2i.l
Col, G. w. Charlton, editor Of the
grange outlook, was delegate from
Knox county to the late Democratic
Convention. In his paper issued this
morning he says:
This convention was failure, so far
as the farmers are concerned. The
distinguished gentleman, whose name
was so conspicuously before il, as the
favorite OF the farmers, was ostracised
by the combined efforts and Screenings
of lawyers and professional politicians.
The political gamblers and wire work
ers had no use for him. and but little
for those whose interests he proposed
to subserve. The very facts that he
was understood to be the tine of the
agricultural element was sufficient to
proclaim his doom, which was done
in the most emphatic maunel We
predicted this at the start, long before
that body met, in fact.
and were satisfied that It
would turn out just as it has. We
are not disappointed in the least.
Really we were opposed, and so ad-
vised, to his submitting his claims to
this tribunal. We were for going
directly before the farmers and work
ing men of Tennessee, believing that
to be the true policy, as we yet believe.
1t will have to come to this at last, as
time will demonstrate.
We have been taught "a lesson, a
most valuable lesson, which we will
not soon forget, and which will serve
to guide us in the future. Our pen
shall not slumber so long as the farm
ers are not respected as they should
be, and their rights showed aside.
True, we blame them for one thing
for their want of watchfulnc5s Of Their
own interests. They are not vigilant
enough, nor active enough in taking
care of themselves.

New Mineral discovered,

A correspondent from Anderson
county writes that he thinks he has
found some valuable mineral in An
derson county, one mile south of the
Fork ofPowell's and Clinch rivers. He
says the particles of metal are found in
limestone, fiintstone, sandstone, and
other primitive rock. He says of the
metal, the crystals are generally min
ute. 1t is soluble in nitro muriatic
acid. The color is golden, or orange
yellow; greyish yellow occurs. They
are massive and crystalized octohed-
rous, with a bright lustre. He says,
We have had information from some
of the best biologists we can find, and
they pronounce it to be gold, silver,
&C., and we are sure it is some val
liable metaln They are anxious fol
men of capital and a knowledge OF
mineralogy to come and investigate
and develop this mineral, asithey fee
confident that there is q fortune in i
for some one,
