In 1856 General Randolph, then constructing
engineer of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
put the first two hundred bass in the river,
having obtained them from one Of the western
streams and shipped them in the water tank
of a locomotive. Since then their numbers
have steadily increased. and now the Potomac
is thickly populated with the fish from tide
water to its source. 1t is no uncommon oc-
currence to catch bass weighing two and three
pounds apiece, and occasionally four pound
ers are taken.

The Unconscious Action or the Brain.

IL may be taken as one Of the COM
monest mental experiences of most men,
that fact, and especially name, which
they endeavor to remember, which es-
capes from the determinate effort of
recollection, often suddenly jumps, as it
were, into the recollection without effort,
after they have been thinking of other
matters. Dr. Carpenter explains this by
the theory that the past OF the brain en-
gagged in storing up and reproducing past
impressions is not the same part of the
brain which is engaged in the conscious
ness Of those impressions, or In the con-
seriousness of their reproduction; and
that after the seat of consciousness has
given up its futile labor the seat OF
memory unconsciously continues its ac-
tiyity, and when II has unconsciously
brought its work to successful issue 1t
communicates the result to the seat of
consciousness; then, and not before, the
fact Is consciously remembered. Upon
this we must remark that the conscious
effort TO command the memory, without
guide or clcw, is generally and singular.
| ly unsuccessful in result. The only way
| to succeed in remembering some forgot.
| ten thing Is TO seek some clew, some
| thread of ideal association which may
lead us to il. The direct, bald effort
fails for the simple reason that the at
tention is fixed upon the effort, and not
upon the idea sought. Withdraw the
effort, and the attention fixes upon the
idea. The memory of the thing was In
the brain, must have been there all the
time, or II could never again have been
remembered Memory is a latent power
and always unconscious. Recollection
is the mental activity which opens the
cells Of memory to the consciousness
and recollection, therefore must always
be conscious. That any portion OF
FRAMEWORK Is done unconsciously in the
act of recollection is theory to which
we cannot subscribe without far stronger
evidence than any which we have ye
seen adduced.-Dr BuckniH, III Popula,

An Electric Man.

TEE New Orleans Tfplss gives an ac-
count Of most extraordinary case of
paralysis which recently occurred in that
city, and the remarkable symptoms which
/ attended the patients illness. The suf-
ferer is Maj. Edward Goitheil, promi-
nent citizen Of New Orleans. The Times
says: : 4 short time after Maj. Gottheil's
affection commenced there were devel-
oped in him symptoms which, il is stated,
have but enc parallel in the history Of
medical science. One evening he was
living asleep, almost as profound and
peaceful as when in health. The faith
watchers sat just within the adjoining
room, ready 70 answer his slightest call.
Suddenly he cried out in frightful
screams of agony, and, although par
alyzed and incapable, ordinarily, of NOV
ing without aid, he sprang up in his bed.
The paroxysms Of pain did not in the
least affect the clear conceptions of his
intellect; on the contrary, they were
rather strengthened than otherwise
Aroused in this manner from slumbeT,
his first cenceit was that some one had
applied TO him galvanic battery heavily
charged. Becoming assured that such
had not been the case, he then thought
that some one had stolen into his room
and done something to him that he
knew not This in turn gave way
TO the positive assurances of his
wife and friends; but it was
plain something had happened
of an extraordinary physical character,
and the Major, with his usual scientific
turn Of mind, set about its investigation.
Lifting up his paralyzed arm, he discoy-
cred that it was covered with what APP
peared to be phosphoric light. Holding
the stricken limb still higher, electric
lights dripped from the fingers like drops
of liquid fire, whilst the whole arm and
the corresponding sides Of the face and
neck were illuminated in like manner.
The phenomena was wonderful to behold.
II was plain the patient was mysteriously
and wonderfully overcharged with cleo
tricity. Feeling mysterious influence
in his left eye, he called upon his friends
TO examine 1t. They found ii to be per
fectly natural in appearance, except that
it emitted bright illumination, which
cast light on the wall sufficiently strong
in a darkencd room TO enable him to see
the figures on the wall paper. In a
word, the eye shone out like lamp. 1t
was at this stage, but after these wonder
full physical indications had abated. that
DIR. Nicholson was called in, and it will
crafty the many old and cherished
friends of Maj Gottheil TO be informed
that the symptoms of his painful illness
have taken favorable turn. Already
he has measurably recovered the use of
his lower limbs, and, with steadily-in-
creasing strength, the strongest hopes are
entertained of his speedy recovery"

Bathing Children.

SOME mothers think, when their chill
dren get beyond two or three years of
age, the frequent entire bath can be dis
pensed with. II some Of the main facts
Of physiology were well known and
understood, every one would perceive
that cleanliness of the skin is one of the
conditions of good health. 1t happens
when bathing is disregarded that the
lungs, kidneys or bowels have more than
their own apportionment of work. II
these are strong and healthy, they may
bear the tax with little apparent injury,
but, in most cases, lowering OF the
vitality and tone of the system ensues.
Large bath-tubs are pleasant and conven-
lent, but not Indispensable to the proper
cleansing of the skin. A speedy spong-
ing of the body in pure water, followed
by friction In pure air, is all that is
necessary. When disinclined to use wa
ter, ! find thorough application of the
flesh-brush to the whole person an ad-
mirable substitute; especially, on retir.

the circulation and induces quiet sleep

Stay at Home.

In a late speech at farmers meeting
the following valuable truths were ut
iered-tru,hs that should weigh in every
mans mind who thinks of leaving the
country for the city:
I'm contrasting country and city life
Mr.. Smith said il seemed necessary 10
urge Young people to stay in the country.
There was q tendency TO rush TO cities,
which are always oyercrowded, while
the country is deficient in population.
The farmer might advertise for man to
work on the farm and offer good wages,
wholesome food and comfortable lodg-
ing. but he viii scarcely find an appli-
cation; whereas an advertisement in the
CITY for a Young man TO do light work,
clerk. etc. will receive thousand appli-
cation in twenty-four hours He was
surprised the other day to find fully that
number of applications for ten vacancies
in the Cincinnati Postoffice, and more
coming in The great struggle of life is
for wealth. and yet money is hard TO get.
He knew only one thing harder to get,
and that was contentment. Nothing was
so difficult 10 obtain and keep. People
who view the city from the outside, with
its veneerings and varnish, do not realize
how much there is behind TO make life
miserable; how much there was of men
tai anxiety, incomparably harder 70 bear
than the hardest physical labor. We are
all apt TO imagine our neighbours lot bet
ter than our own"
The pleasures of the city are more
evanescent and less substantial than
those in the country, and sober second
thought should be INDUCED in before 60
