DOUBLE BRAIN.

In one of his lectures before Low
ell Institute. Boston, DR.. Brown
Sequard observes that the study Of
the facts relating to the brain has
led him to believe that "each half of
the brain-paradoxical as it may
seem is whole BRAIN" each lobe
being normally competant perform
all the functions Of both, not so Wig
orously, Of course, as two acting to-
gether, yet with apparent complete
ness. Unfortunately, however, most
of us are single Drained as we are
single handed, and for the same rea-
son. We fail to do what is really
needed to give us two working brains.
''There is no question:" concludes
this skillful observer, ''that it is our
habit of making use Of only one side
of the brain--the right side-th
faculty Of expressing ideas by speech.
live developed. both sides of our body
equally, not only would there be the
benefit that we could write or work

SHOULD HORSES WEAR
BLENDERS.

A writer in the Webster Times
says these sensible things :-"We
never could see what vice or deformi-
ty lay III a horses eye, that should
make IT necessary to cover it no, and
shut out its owner fer at least two
thirds Of his RICH full vision. The
poets say that old age looks back
ward, but we never heard such an
idlosyncrasy charged upon the horse,
The theory that a horse is less apt
to be frightened when shut out from
every thing behind him, we suspect
to be fallacy, else saddle-orses
and warehouses would be duly blind
ed. Every horse is asfamiliar with his
own carriage as with his tail, and, as
far as his personal fortitude is con-
cerned, is no more disturbed al BEING
pursued by one than the other. AS
for other scare crows that come up
behind, they are mostly so familiar to
the animal, that, the more fully the
NOISE can perceive them, the more
quietly does he submit to their apo
proach. Then ii is such a pity to
cover up one Of the most brilliant fea-
lures Of this most brilliant creature.
The horse has borne such a hand in
the civilization Of this rough-and-
tunbIe world, that it seems not so
much cruelty as a discourtesy, as
well as q disgrace, to hide his form
with embarrassing toggery, No won
der we estimate the force In the world
as horse power;no wonder the Ro-
mans and the Germans, each in their
own language, designate their arts
tocracy as riders; no wonder their de-
scendants made chivalry a synonym
for their highest virtues, Let the
horse be given his due, and unblinded.
The check rein is another nuisance

tirely disappeared from England, tho

The storm Season,

The opening chapter of autumns introduc-
ton to winters record of marine disasters is
being written. The HERALD's ship news
columns have during the past day or two
plainly indicated that the present season is
not to be an exceptional one Of freedom from
suffering for the mariner. The daily arrivals
at this and other ports Of craft variously dam
aged in their contests with the winds and
waves are melancholy forecasts of what may
be expected during the rest of the season of
storms. A hurricane that ragged on the Allan
tic from the 4th to the 9th inst, and extended
from the latitude OF Bermuda to forty de-
grees north, was very hard upon the vessels
caught in its limits, one old shipmaster de-
scribing it as the severest he had experienced
in twenty years cruising. Several vessels
succumbed to it, but, fortunately, SO far as re-
ported, the crews were rescued from the fate
OF their vessels by passing craft. Others have
managed to struggle back to their ports of
departure or found refuge in some other
haven terribly battered, with loss of spars
and decks swept of everything that stood in
the way of the ponderous boarding seas. In
one or two cases seamen were washed away
amid the wreck of spars and bulwarks, and
the broken limbs and battered frames of some
of those saved from immediate death evil
denced the severity of the contest they had
passed through. The ships that have reached
port passed many "lame ducks" in various
degrees of dilapidation resulting from the
same storm, and it is to be feared that the
worst of it has yet to be chronicIed

Mayor Havemeyer's Letter.

The letter which Mayor Havemeyer COM
municates to Mr.. John Kelly through the
public press is very spicy reading. The
Mayors style is peculiar but vigorous, and his
charges are pointed and epigrammatic There
is no mistaking what he means in anything
that he says 1t is also plain that he intends
giving Kelly as good as he received. Indeed,
we suspect there is little tinge of bitterness
and bad temper in the Mayors composition
but the sophomore promise of his effort is so
great that we have high hopes of him after
he has had little more experience.
1t betrays extensive reading and large
iund Of anecdote. It shows an aptness at
figures and their application which even Mr..
Kelly must Sdmire. We are sorry, however,
that the Mayor has not that esteem for the
Hon. John Morrissey which the career of that
eminent statesman would justify And we
are grieved, too, that Ottendorfer has q lower
place in the Mayors affections than he once
had. Other little episodes of the youthful
Havemeyer's epistle are equally painful to us.
But, after all, it would have been more dig
nihed perhaps if Havemeyer had arraigned
Kelly before the proper tribunal as Kelly did
Havemeyer, though we confess that course
would not have been half so entertaining. MIR.
Kelly, for his part of this interesting affair,
promises to give the public some lively read

The REPORT comes from Maine that there
is no Maine law in that State 1t is clear that
some one has been drunk-either the Legisla-
ture, which thought it had passed the law, or
the persons who now think it did not. But
If they were under the impression that the
law existed how did they get their liquor
If they did get their liquor how did they
come to imagine that the law existed? 1t is
said the Attorney General is to investigate the
matter with the sobfrness due to its impor-
tance, and it is to beaoped he will settle it. To
have been drunk unconstitutionally has given
much pain to many well disposed inebriates
If it is shown that they we're drunk legally
they will feel relieved On the other hand, it
will distress the temperance party to know
that these other parties have been drunk con-
stitutionally. That somebody must suffer
seems inevitable, whether the report be true
or false.

weather, are well pleased with their rccep-

nothing whatever our great prophet may say

that unless the almanac has been changed
they will soon have beautiful skies and a
balmy atmosphere.

Ice Sign ais in the North Atlantic.

Ice Sign ais in the North Atlantic.
A very beautiful and useful system of ice
signalling has been recently adopted by one
Of the Canadian steamship lines, which prom
ises to give great safety and security to pas
sengers crossing the Atlantic. The company
has issued to all its commanders an ice chart
and tallying ice signals, by the use of which
steamers passing each other can learn when
and where dangerous bergs and ice fields have
been encountered. The ice chart is divided
into degrees of longitude and half degrees Of
latitude, nearly making squares, each of which
has separate literal designation. This in
each section of the chart consists of two letters
representing two flags of the commercial code,
and when the corresponding flags are hoisted by
a steamer they indicate to the passing ship the
exact position of the ice met. The ensign hoisted
above these means berg ice and the Union
Jack field ice likely to imperil navigation.
The flags are, of course, only serviceable in
the day time; but at night the ice signals
are made by means of Colombs Chatham
lamp The whole system is one of extreme
simplicity, both in the chart and CODE and
easily enables any steamer, after passing
through the ice track near Newfoundland, to
communicate to the steamer approaching it
the precise place of the peril, and therefore,
the imminent necessity of extreme caution in
nearing that point
The adoption of this or some similar code
by all the transatlantic steamship companies
cannot be too urgently sought after, and it is
q wonder they have not, for their own security,
long since devised one. Great as have been
the advances in modern navigation no navi-
gator has yet found any means of detecting
the presence of an iceberg until he has
approached far within the circo of great
danger. The fact that the floating ices of the
Atlantic select a pathway thronged by the
worlds commerce, and upon which their
stealthy movements are concealed by fog,
must always make them the objects of terror
to the mariner.

The BLASTING OPERATIONS in the Fourth
avenue improvement have long been carried
on with reckless disregard of human life
Casualties, often of fatal character, have so
frequently occurred and may still happen that
the neighborhood must be considered an un-

protested against the manner in which the
work is conducted, but without effect, as it
