HYPSoTIsM. Webster defines hypno-
tism as sleep, especially a kind Of SOM
nambulism said to be produced by means
of animal magnetism; also similar COL
dition produced in persons Of very DELI

bright object, ~ metallic ball highly
polished and strongly illuminated. :"
Hypnotism is hot new TO the medical
profession. but recent application of it
IN California, aud detailed by the Mays
vile Appeal, presents many points of
general interest: ~
On the ODD OF January some exp, ri
ments were tried on some OF the pa

suit of which surprised the County
Physician and his assistants wonderfully,
and, III fact, more than it did those who
were oper ted upon. The physicians

sirons to have as little said as possible MS

/ confident that the effects on the patients
are really permanent. As We have had
peep into the private note book Of the
County Physician, We think that that
gentleman will not feel that his conf
dence has been betrayed by what We are
now about to state. The doctors call
this bypnotism, state into which the
patient is thrown-in fact. it is state of

IN the note book is as follows, Robert
Valsco, aged 80. is case OF paralysis
Tor palsy OF the lower eytremiti.s), was
admitted into the Yuba County Hospital
July IL, 1868, and for nearly two years
was confined to his bed, but by treatment
was enabled to sit up in chair and drag
his limbs by the aid of crutches, but
never able to stand alone on his feet or
to stand up and take a step. He was
partially hypnotised, and in six inmates
stood up and took two steps. The next
day, the 23d, the operation was continu-
ed for ten minutes, when he rose aud
walked four steps, and that. too, With
more ease than the day Lefore and, in
fact, be has improved each day since the

age. afflicted with hemiplegia (or palsied

Cases Of chronic rheumatism have been
relieved TO such an extent rs to astonish
every one present. The doctors are well
satisfied that there is no pain but what il
will relieve in from five to ten minutes.
We hope they will succeed, and as soon
as they satisfy themselves. the result

GOLD IN THE YELLOWSTONE
COUNTRY.

VIM Rea writes to the Bozeman Mon.
Avant Currier that in 1912 he lived at
Blackwater Mills. Mo. and was frequent
ly visited by an old trappcr named Owen
hubble, who, while under the influence
OF liquor, would tell wonderful stories of
having discovered very rich gold diggings
on the upper waters Of the Yellowstone
river. While trapping for General Ash
ICY, he said. he made the discoveries.
Ia the year 1888 he accompanied Ashley
and sublets fleet OF trapping boats up
the Missouri river TO the mouth Of the
Yellowstone. Bubble said that himself
and six others visited the Yellowstone
country on trapping expedition, when,
after reaching the Yellowstone country,
the Indians came upon them and killed
all the company but himself After his
escape, he took due south course, and
on the second dry Of his hasty retire t,
while drinking at stream, be discovered
the bottom to be almost Literally covered
with nuggets of gold; md not having
time to gather any considerable amount,
TIE only gathered up handful or two of
nuggets, and put thcmin his shot.pouch.

that If he could iiud an old trapper who

stated that be did not know the precise
locality, but that it was somewhere on

lie sail bis name was Owen Rubbla. He
then gave an account of the gold Bubble

their custom, before sitting ont, every
man was required pour out all his bull

! New INDUSTRIAL ORDER. The rapid
increase of the Patrons of Husbandry.
among the rural classes throughout the
country, has led TO the Inauguration of a
movement to establish another Order
among the mechanics and worhing.men
and women, styled the Sovereigns of In
dustry. The new organization resembles
the Patrons OF Husbandry. and it is in
tended as an auxiliary Order, which shall
admit industrial classes that the organ
ization Of the Oranges does not mbrace.
Tho plan of organization is closely copied
after that Of the Changers. Members of
subordinate councils take the degree of
Jonrneymen members OF the national
council take that OF Artisan; and mem
oers of the supreme council will be
Craftsmen. This last body is not to be
Instituted till January, 1875, and is to be
the court OF last resort. The object of
the new Order, briefly stated, is the i'm
provement and elevation of the industrial
classes There is no rivalry between it
and the Patrons of Husbandry, but it is
intended that the two shall work together
side by side for common purpose.

He consulted Father Ireland, of St. Paul,
who referred him to Bishop Grace. Both
these clergymen expressed themselves as
possessing a favorable impression of the
principles, objects and methods of the
Grange, but neither of them could break
through the absolute rule of the Church,
and recommended the legislator to appeal
to Rome. He accordingly laid the matter
before the Pope, to whom he transmitted
at the same time full particulars as to the
objects contemplated by the Order, and
the means by which it was proposed to
attain them. A reply has been received
from his Holiness, stating that the Pope
allows the petitioner to join the Grange
of Patrons of Ilusbandry, and be Il member
thereof, if he finds nothing therein conflict
ing with his conscience or the creed of the
Church. AS a consequence, the Order has
received large accession in Minnesota,
and when the news of the Pope's decision
has reached other States, its effect will be
largely to increase the number of the Pa
irons, and to remove the interdict laid up
on Catholics DESTROYS of becoming such,
by prelates who have disapproved Of the
Grange or been doubtful as to the consis-
tency of its obligations with those OF the
Church,

The Dog Law.

The following is synopsis of Senator
Walsh's bill for taxing dogs. which passed
the Legislature during its closing hours:
Itprovides that the County Commission
ers shall lay an annual tax upon doga at a
rate not less than one dollar for males and
two dollars for females, except in Talbot
and Hartford counties, where the tax shall
be one dollar each. The county commits
sioners shall divide their respective coun-
ties into constabulary districts. according
to the number of constables, and it shall be
the duty of the constabIes in each district
to annually enumerate and assess the dogs
at the rate prescribed, paying the tax col
lected into the County Treasury. and the
official bonds of the constables shall be
liable for any default. The amount col
lected, after deducting commission OF p
per cent. to the constable and other expen-
ses, shall 90 to the school fund. Every
householder, however, shall be entitled tc
keep one male dog free of taxation. The
County Commissioners are 10 furnish the
constables with metal tags. with the year
and the sex of the dog on them. These
tags are to be worn by all dogs taxed OF
exempted, and if any shall be found a,
large off the owners premises without a
tag, it shall be the duty of the constable to
kill it. and for each dog killed he shall re-
celve fifty cents. Any person may kill any
dog which may be caught killing or wor
rying sheep, either on his own premises oil
another. ANY person maliciously remov
/ ing tag from dog, shall be fined tifteeI
dollars. In case of the loss of tag du
plicate may be furnished for ten cents, or
giving satisfactory evidence of the pay
ment of the tax. The neglect of any con
stable to perform the duties required, shall
be sufficient cause for forfeiture of office
and the County Commissioners are direct
ed to Immediately remove for neglect

pairing of our roads we can only say that
the Doctor has done good thing and de-
serves our thanks.
We are happy to inform our readers that
the bill authorizing a subscription, by our
County Commissioners, of $4,000, to the
Southern Maryland Railroad, after passing
the Senate, was defeated in the House on
the last day of the session. We had, in
common with the large mass of tax-pa
entertained the gravest apprehensions in
regard to this matter. There was nothing
about it that we liked. We had never
heard of such scheme being thought of.
1t had not been mooted during the last
canvass, nor had anything been said about
it during the earlier days of the session.
We therefore were, naturally enough, star
tied and alarmed when we saw, on the
oath of March, twelve days before the con-
Mudd had asked leave to introduce such
a bill, and this, too, without any memorial
to that effect from the citizens of this
county. The lateness of the time when
the measure was introduced struck us as
being suspicious. 1t looked as though 1t
was an effort to fleece the taxpayers with
out giving them time to protest or to be
heard. In fact, Senator Earle stated that
he voted for the bill because there was no
protest against it.
We wish it to be distinctly understood
that we do not mean to do DR.. Mudd the
injustice of connecting him in any way
with this Ubiquitous scheme, nor of insin-
uating that he knowingly lent himself to
its attempted accomplishment. On the
contrary, we learn from private sources
that DR.. Mudd was not specially favorable
to the measure, but was induced to report
the bill simply for the purpose of afford
ing the voters an opportunity of passing
upon the propriety of the county subscrip-
ton, holding himself free to act at the
election according to the best dictates OF
his Judgment. Whilst we think the Doc
tor erred in presenting bill OF so much
importance at so late day in the session,
without memorials from the taxpayers,
yet we cheerfully acquit him of all blame
in the matter, except that of error of judg-
ment.
We understand also that the bill was
pressed by ring of lobbyists in the en-
ployment of the Railroad Company, and
that we are indebted to the zeal and acti-
witty of our Delegates, Mr.. Hawkins and
DR.. Lancaster, for its defeat in the House.
These gentlemen deserve, and doubtless
will receive, the grateful thanks of the tax
payers of the county, as we now tender
them ours.

FIRST GUN AGAINST INITIATION!
Overwhelming Democratic Victory in
Connecticut!

We publish with pride and pleasure the
news of the great Democratic victory in
Connecticut at the election held there on
Monday. 1ngersoll, Democrat, is elected
Governor by not far from 2,4OO majority
over both his competitors, and his plurali
ty over his Radical opponent is nearly
1000. The Senate stands II Democrats to
4 Republicans, and the House 143 Demo
Gratis to So Republicans, thus insuring the
election of an United States Senator in
place of Buckingham, the present incum
bent. This State has been without Dem.
ocratic Senator for twenty-one years.
We have always had faith in the sobe,
second thought of the people; and though
the American people are the most patient
the world ever saw, yet they will not stand
everything, and they have shown that now
patience has ceased to be a virtue.

The Grange and Catholic Farmers.-
Decision Of the Pope.

The St. Louis Globe of the 10th ult
makes the following important announce
ment:
Roman Catholic farmers DESTROYS OF
joining the Order of the Patrons of Hus-
bandry, have hitherto had in their way the
laws of their Church forbidding its men,
beers to identify themselves with secret So
cieties. OF our American prelates, We be-
lieve that Archbishop Alemanny, of San
Francisco, has held that the Catholic far
mer will do well to err on the side of safe
ty, and so not join the Grange until the
Pope has expressed his approval Of its OBJ
jects, while other bishops have forbidden
members of their focks from becoming
Patrons upon any consideration. The
matter has been finally adjudicated on by
Pious TX, as appears by the Norisk Yoke
6ll1d, the Scandinavian organ of Minnesota.
A Catholic member of the State Legisla-
ture was DESTROYS Of joining the Grange,
but had conscientious scruples about do
ing so, arising from his religious belief

officers, the hour Of twelve arrived, when
the rap of the gavel commanded attention,
and Speaker Hines arose and addressed
the members as follows:

desert traveller, the green spot in my memory,
which shall come up in the future to brighten
my life and fill my mind with sweetest and most
cherished recolecti ms. We have had through
the session now closing pleasant and agreeable
time, and have doubt we now sepaI ate from
each other with nothing but the kindliest feel
ings and regard for each other. Our action
here is now before the people of the State, and
to them We must now render our account, and
though we have differed with each other in many
things. yet believe are willing to acknowl-
cd gre that each from his standpoint of party or
must congratulate you. gentlemen, for the great
energy and industry shown by you all in the
discharge of your Legislative duties
We now separate. gentlemen. and am sure
that we part with much regret from each other,
and that throughout our lives we will turn with
pleasure to our meeting here this winter. For
the very flattcring expression you have seen fit
TO pass in reference to myself, accept my warm
est thanks, and though may not have deserved
so decided an expression, yet am proud to say
hat kay enIc IN char

best interest of the State. And now. gentlemen.
committing you to the guidance of kind and
benz tcent Heaven, now declare this House ad-
Journcd without day.
This ended the session. Afterwards
Mr.. Hines was presented with handsome
gold headed cane by his friends. DR.. Cole,
the Reading Clerk, made the presentation
speech, to which Mr.. Hines responded.
