: negro called Uncle Jip was
f0oling around a ferry dock, when
some one offered 70 bet him fifty
cents that he couldn't let a cocoa
nut be broken against his head
'Jist kiver dat money" replied the
old man, laying fifty cent piece
down, and as soon as it was done
he sat down in a chair, uncovered
bis head, and told them to pound
away. 4 small cocoa-nut, with the
husk peeled off, was thumped
against his skull until it few in

Brain work costs more food than
hard work. According to careful
estimates an analysis of the excre-
tons, three hours hard study wears
out the body more than a whole
day of physical labor. Another
evidence of the cost of brain work
is obtained from the fact that tho
the brain is only one-fortieth the
weight of the body, it receives
about one-ffth of all the blood
sent by the system. Brain work.
ers, therefore, require a more lib
eral supply of food than manua
laborers.

Pure and brave spirits seek no
a refuge from an eternal fdtule in
disgraceful dissipation; they count
unbounded existence rather as the
only fitting sphere for the unfold
ing of their latent energies, and
calmly await it clad in the canopy
which wise moderation alone can
provide. Great and good virtues
are never matured in sensual AMI
timid spirits. Terror, induced by
guilt, chills the soul, as physical
terror chills the body, destroying
all prospects of moral excellence in
the heart from which chaste desires
and wise self-government are ex,
lied.

THE RETORT CAR.TEOUs.

Nitrous Oxide Gas.

What great risks people run in taking
nitrous oxide gas or any other anaeSthetic
for the purpose of hayiAg their teeth ex-
tracted. Many Of our best dentists are
trying 10 discourage the use of anaesthetics
in the extraction of teeth. DIR. f. X.
Squibb, physician Of considerable scien-
tific attainments, says in a paper read be
fore the State Medical Society of New
York: sThe condition Of perfect anaeSthe-
sia IS one of the most grave and frightful
conditions of life. Under the influence of
an anaesthetic, it is wonderful 70
reject how near one can approach
the boundary line without going beyond.
MANY do gO). The issues of life and
death arc narrowed down TO a few min
.ites; and when we take into consideration
that all depends upon the administrator Of
the anaesthetic, it IS difficult to understand
and appreciate the importance of the situa-
tiOn.H
With such warning as this, coming from
physicians and dentists alike, we should be
very slow in taking these dangerous things
for the simple operation of extracting
teeth.

KNOWING ones say the negroes have
been whitfield down to four out Of the
nine county Offices. The argument
nsed with them has been that compile
nent Of white voters will be necessary
10 the success of the ticket. 1t Is un-
defstOod that the four offices yielded TO
them are the Jailer, Register, Revenue
Collector, and Sheriff. There is bit
ter feeling about the last named posi-
ton. The negroes were also eager to
get the Trustee, but 1t was difficult to
find one who could give the requisite
bond. Some Of the hot-headed CIvlt
Fighters are by no means satisfied
with this newly attempted arrange
ment, putting them off with less than
half the offices, while they are expected
to furnish over three-fourths Of the
voters. One Of the Constables for the
city district may be given them, and 1t

country darkies will ensure Nashville a

ture of a doubt.

HOW TO TELL A MAD noe


A genuine case of hydropEobia, even
in the dog, is very rare occurrence. But
when the disease does manifest itself.
its symptoms are marked and easily
defined, and 10 one who has given the
subject the slightest attention there
Should be no mistake concerning a pro-
per diagnosis. The trouble Is that TO
persons of superficial observation an
epileptie fit-VeFy common among dogs
may be mistaken for hydrophobia.
The dog, when suffering from an attack
of epilepsy sure guaranty that he is
not mad-runs about wildly, staggers,
falls down, regains his feet, .Gddles
about mechanically, froths at atthemouth
(which is another positive indication
that he Is not mad, for a mad dog never
frOths at the mOuth), and, as if entirely
deprivedof sight, runs against anything
IN his way. With the mad dog the case
is entirely different. He dreuls at the
mouth; is possessed Of preternatural
strength, and never staggers or fails
except TO die. He does not nite man.
kind, but rather avoids society. He
takes long journeys Of thirty or forty
miles to vent his restless deaiFe for
motion. When jouneyipg he does not
walk or run, but proceeds in a slouching
manner-a kind Of trot. His aspect is
detected. His eyes do not -glareor stare,
but they are dull and retraeted. His
appearance is very characteristic, and
if once seen can never afterward be
mistaken.

Is Hanging Played Out?-Thirfeen
Sentenced Murderers Who will New
er be Executed.

Sentenced Murderers Who will New
er be Executed.
New Orleans Times.
1t is now several years since the extreme
penalty of the law for crime was inflicted
in this State, not because there were no
convictions for murder, but solely because
of the unwillingness of the State Execu-
tive at the time to cause sentence
TO be carried into execution.
There are now, in different parts
of the State, eight or nine murderers,
who were tried, convicted and sentenced
during the administration Of Gov. War
moth. These men are still confined in the
prisons of the parishes where they were
tried. 1t is a requirement Of the laws Of
this State that when person is tried and
convicted of the crime Of murder, and
sentenced to suffer the extreme penalty of
the law, the record shall be certified to By
the Governor Of the State, upon whom is
devolved the duty Of fixing q time
for the execution of the sentence,
and 10 issue his writ for thai
not choose to act in these cases, and so they
have been handed down 10 his successor.
Some Of these men have been thus held

being all the time kept in close Confina-
ment, and perhaps in irons, in the parish
prisons. IL is stated that on the return
home Of Governor Kellogg, these cid and
chronic cases will receive his attention.
and finally be disposed OF The
fO. mer Executive, upon whom first fell the
solemn and serious responsibility Of issuing
the orders necessary for the execution OF
the death penalty having failed to do so, il
IS scarcely to be expected that the present
Executive will do so in these cases. Doubt
less he will feel that il IS enough for him
tO take the responsibility of such action ia
cases occurring under his own admiuiStra-
tiOn. The fact is avowed in the State De
Dartment that the sentences in each Of
these cases will be committed 10 imprisOn-
ment in the penitentiaTy for lie.
Upon inquiry, we learn that since Gov.
kellogg assumed the office Of Chief ExecU-
tive Of this State, certified records have
been received by him in only four capital
cases, and they are of comparatively recent
date. Two Of these were from the parish
of st. Landry, where two eOlCred men,
Samuel Wright and OZeme Frage, were
tried and convicted of murder, and SEN
fenced to suffer death by hanging. The
other two cases were from the parishes Of
TerrebOnne and BOssier, being not for muir
der, but rape.
Thus far no petitions have reached the
Governor Cor the pardon Of these convicted
telORs, or for the cOmmutatiOn Of the sen-
tence Of death TO Imprisonment for life.
There have been convictions in other cases
so repOrted-but the certified records
have not yet been made up and sent to the
Governor. The four cases mentioned are
at this time the only ones in which the Ex-
ecutice is called upon to fix the time and
place Of GSecutiOn, or commute their pun
ishmeni to Imprisonment for life.
