Constant fibbing will undermine the

~ Withdrawn from the Hall and
united in signing a petition to the
governor stating their grievances
and asking his aid, which petition.
signed by fifty two legally returned
members of the House, is in nv nos
session Immediately subsequent tn
the action of Witt in eiecting the
Clerk of the old House, Billen moved
that two gentlemen from the parish
of DeSOto. one from Winn, one from
Bienville, and one from Iberia who
had not been returned by the Return
ing Board, be sworn in as mem
bers, and they were according
ly sworn in by Wilt, and took
their seats ON the floor as mem
bers of the House. A motion was
now made that the House proceed
with its permanent organization, and
accordingly the roll was called by
Mr.. Trezevant, acting clerk, and Mr..
Witt was declared Speaker and Mr..
Trezevant Clerk of the House.
Acting on the protest made by the
majority of the House, the Governor
now requested the Commanding Gen
eral of the Department to aid him in
restoring order, and enable legally
returned members of the House to
proceed with its organization accord
ing to law. This request was reason
able, and III accordance with law.
Remembering wildly the terrible
massacres that took place in this city
on the assembling of the Consutu-
tional Convention in 1866, at the Me
chanics Institute, and believing that
the lives of the members of the Leg
lSlature were, or would he endanger-
ed, in case an organization under the
law was attempted, the posse was fur
nished, with request that care
should be taken that no member of
the Legislature returned by the
Board should be elected from the
floor. This military posse perform
ed its duty under direction from the
Governor of the State, and removed
from the floor of the House those per-
sons who had been illegally seated, and |
who had no legal right to be there,
whereupon the Democrats rose and |
left the House, and the remaining
members proceeded To effect an or
ganizatiOn under the State laws. In
all this turmoil, in which blo0dshed
was imminent, the military posse be-
haved with great discretion. When
Witt, usurping Speaker of the
House, called for troops to prevent
Dloodshed they were given him.
When the Governor of the State call
sd for Il posse, for the same purpose
and to enforce the law, it was furn-
shed also. Had it not been done, it

A Druidical Wedding.

The following description of a
marriage in the Druidical days is
given in Saintine's Myths of the
Rhine"
Alta place where two roads meet
the cracking Of whip is heard /;
hogs, sheep and small oxen are driven
aside to make way for kind of pro-
cessiOn, consisting Of grave and sol
emn men and women.
1t is wedding.
Two young people have just had
their union blessed by the priests un-
der the sacred oak. The bride is
dressed in black, and wears Il wreath
of dark leaves on her head. She
walks in the midst of her friends.
A matron, who walks on her left,
holds before her eyes Il white cloth;
it is a shroud, the shrOud in which
she will be buried one of these days.
On her right Druid intones a chant,
in which he cnumerates in solemn
rhythm all the troubles and all the
anxieties which await her in welded
life.
From this day, young wife, thou
alone will have to bear all the bur
den of your united household.
You will have to attend the baking
oven, to provide fuel, and to 90 in
search of food; you will have to pre-
pare the rcsinous torch and the lamp
You will wash the linen at the
fountain. and you will make up the
clothing.
You will attend to the cow, and
even to the horse, if your husband
requires it.
Always full of respect, you will
wait on him, standing behind him at
his meals.
If he expresses wish to take you
with him to war, yOu will accompany
him to carry his baggage, to keep his
arms in good condition, and to nurse
him if he should be sick or wounded.
Happiness consists in the fulfill
ment of duty. Be happy, my child.
What is still more strange is that
this dOlOrous wedding song, but
slightly altered, is still, in some
parts of France, at this day, address
ed to brides by local mInstrels.

Christ and Christmas.

For ages christian nations have
celebrated Christmas, or the 25th
day of December, in commemOration
of the birth of Christ, the Redeemer
OF our fallen race. But it seems that
The manner that most people spend
their Christmas is precisely the re-
verse OF what it should be. Instead
oi holy exaltation over the good it'd
lngs of the newborn Savior we
have drinking, revelries, carnal ioli6-
cations, and demOniacal rows. / he
lieve there is more crime committed
on this day than any other one dav
in the year. Now does this honor
Christ, or does it dishonor Him?
| appeal to the conscience of my
readers. What do we hear, on Christ
mas day, from almost every hamlet
and village? Fights. tumults and
riots. Let every true and quiet citi-
zen cry out shame. shame!!! How
was it on that Christmas morning,
when the King of Glory made His
appearance in human flesh?
The air was still DER Bethiehem's plain,
As if the great Night held its breath,
When life eternal came to reign
Over the world of Death.
L wonder if it ever occurs to the
mind of these persons that spend this
day i'll riot and drunkenness, the
great blessings that they have re-
ceived rs the result of the birth of
the Christ-child. | am not talking
about the hope of eternal life, which
Christ has brought to the world, but
of the temporal blessings, the com
forts of civilization which have fol-
lowed from His life and death. i am
not talking to infidels-in fact | never
saw an infidel at heart-man, though
half fool, has too much sense to be
an atheist. But You may deny
Christ, Divinity, or cut off His hu-
manity, yet the result of His life re-
mains the same. History proves to
us beyond refutation that civili-
zatiOn is the OutgrOwth of cllristiani-
what is Christianity without
Christ? To what are we indebted
for all improvements in art and sci
ence, for systems of morality, for our
public schools, for our civil and phi
anthrOpic institutions, for jurispru-
lence. and political knowledge? To
Christianity, and Christ is the central
light and life of Christianity. Now,
et me ask again if our { | say our)
manner of spending our Christmas
loes honor Christ's name or not? |
may be considered foolish thus to
speak against imperious custom, but
believe that the way Christmas is
spent, generally by the better class
wen by professors of religions not
Says DIR. Chaff, "WhO can measure
he ennObling and purifying and
cheerful influence which proceed
rom the contemplation of the
Christ-child at each returning Christ
mas season, upon the hearts of young
md old in every land and nation.
The loss of the first estate is rich
v compensated by the undying in
lOcence of Paradise regained." For
ny part, | cannot see what "ennO-
ling and purifying influence" can
rOceed from our Christmas jOllifica-

The MOneyless Man.

TThis beautiful poem was composed
years ago by Henry Stanton, Maysville
kentucky. Such gems of poetry ar,
not often met with, written by authors
whose names are never known i'm his
tory.l
Is there no place on the face of the earth
Where charity dwelleth, where virtue
Where bOsoms in kindness and mercy
will heave,
And the poor and the wretehed shall
ask and receive?
Is there no place on earth where knock
from the poor
Will bring a kind angel to open the
door?
All! search the wide world wherever
you can,
There is no open door for the moneyless
man.
Go look in the hall where the chande-
lier light
Drives off with its splendor the dark
ness of night;
Where the rich hanging velvet, in
shadowy fold,
Sweeps gracefully down with its trim
ing of gold,
And mirrors of silver take up and re-
new
In long lighted vistas the 'wildering
view;
Go there III your patches, and find If
yOu can
A welcoming smile for the moneyless
man.
Go look in your church of the cloud
reaching spire,
Which gave back to the sun his same
look of fire.
Where the arches and columns are
gorgeous within,
And the walls seem as pure as soul
without sin;
Go down the long aisle-see the rich and
the great,
In the pOmp and the pride of their
worldly estate;
Walk down in your patches, and find if
you can,
Who opens pew for a mOneyless man.
Go look to your Judges, in dark flowing
gown,
With the scales wherein law weigheth
quietly down;
Where lie frowns on the weak and
smiles on the strong,
And Furnishes right while he justifies
Where jurors their lips on the Bible
have laid,
To render verdict they've already
made;
Go there in the court room, and find if
Any law for the case of moneyless
man.
Go look in the banks, where Mammon
has told
His hundreds and thousands of silver
and gold;
Where, safe from the hands of the
starving and poor,
Lies pile upon pile of the glittering ore /;
Walk up to the cOunter-alI, there you
may stay,
Till your limbs have grown Old and your
hair turns gray,
And You'll find at the bank not one of
the clan
With money to lend to a mOneyless man.
rhon go to your hovei-no raven has
fed
The wife who has suffered so long for
her bread;
Kneel down by her pallet and kiss the
death frost
From the lips of the angel your poverty
lost
Then turn in your agony upward to God,
And bless while it smites you, the chast-
ening rod;
And you'll find at the end of a life's lit
tie span,
welcome above for the money
less man.

man, who ought to be a strong giant

man, who ought to be strong giant
and great genius. The bullet
headed man has outstripped the
broad-browed man in everything he
undertook; and people say, ''Where
is your phrenology% In reply, l say,
"Look at that bullet headed man, and
see what he has to drive his bullet
head WITH His stomach gives ev-
idence that he has natural forces to
carry forward his purposes. Then
look at the big headed man. He
can't make spoonful of blood in
twenty=four hours, and what he does
make is poor and thin. Phrenology
classifies the brain regions we'll
enough, but you must understand its
relations to physiology, and the de-
pendence of brain work upon the
qusntity and quality of blood that
the mans body makes.
You may ask, "What is the use of
knowing these things?" All the use
in the world. If person comes to
me'with dark, coarse hair, l know he
is tough and enduring, and | know,
if it is necessary, that l can hit him a
rap to arouse him; but if l see per-
son who has fine, silky hair, and a
light complexion, l know that he is
of an excitable temperament, and
must be dealt with sootlingly.
Again, if | see one with large blue,
watery eye, and its accompanying
complexion, say to myself that all
Mount Sinai could not wake that
man up. | have seen men of that
stamp, whom you could no more stim-
uiatc to action than you could lump
of dough by blowing the resurrection
trump over it.
Men are like open books, if looked
at properly. Suppose l attempt to
analyze mans deeds | can do it
with comparative facility, because l
have in my eye the general outline
of the mans disposition and mental
tendencies. A deed is like letter
stamped from a die. The motive
that directs the deed is like the ma
trix that molds the stamp. You
may know the mold from the i'm
preston made by the stamp. You
must know what men are in order to
reach them, and that is part of the
science of preaching. If there is
any profession in the world that can
afford to be without this practical
knowledge of human nature, it GER
tainly is not the profession of a
preacher.

Beecher on PhrenOIOoy.

l do not suppose that phrenOlOgy
is perfect system of mental philOs,
ophy. 1t hits here and there. 1t
needs revising, as in its present shape
it is crude; but, nevertheless, when
it becomes necessary to talk to peO-
pie about themselves, / know of no
other nomenclature which so nearly
expresses what we need, and which
is so facile in its use as phrenology.
Nothing can give you the formulated
analysis of mind as that can. Now
let me say, particularly, a few things
about this, and personally, too. l
suppose inherited tendency or tu
itiOn to read man. The very aptitude
that l recognize in myself for the
exercise of this power would indicate
pre-existing tendency. In my
junior college year l became, during
the visit of Spurzheim, enamored of
phrenOlOgy. For twenty years, al
though l have not made it 4 special
study, it has been the foundation on
which | have worked. Admit, if you
please, it is not exactly the true
thing; and admit, if you will, that
there is little form or system in it,;
yet l have worked with it the same
as botanists worked with the Lin
n9an system of botany, the classifi-
cation of which is very convenient,
although an artificial one. There is
no natural system that seems to cor
respond to human nature so near as
phrenology does.
For example, you assume that a
mans brain is the general organ of
the spiritual and intellectual func-
tiOns.
l see a man with a small brow and
big in the lower part of his head,
like bull, and know that that man
is not likely to be a saint. All the
reasoning in the world would not con-
vince me of the contrary, hut would
say of such man, that he has very
intense ideas, and will below and
push like a bull of Bashon. Now,
practically, do you suppose 1 would
commence to treat with such man
by Haunting a rag in his face? My
first instinct in regard to him is what
a man would have if he found him
self in a field with wild bull, which
would be to put himself on good
manners, and use means of concilia
ton, if possible.
On the other hand, if see a man
whose forehead is very high and
large, but who is very thin in the
back of the head, and with a very
small neck and trunk, l say to my
self, that is man, probably, whose
friends are always talking about how
much there is in him, but who never
does anything. He is man who
has great organs, but nothingt to drive
them with. He is like splendid To-
comotive without boiler.
Again, you will see a man with a
little bullet head. having accom-
plished more than the big-headed

views the Louisiana situation, and
then concludes:
We are not able TO see that State
sovereignty suffers any more in this
case than it did some months ago in
Arkansas, when the slender line Of
blue coats kept armed mObs of State
sovereigns from cutting each others
throats, and gave the Conservative
squad the preference. We did not
observe at that time any special
alarm among the Democracy about
the subjugation of the sovereignty of

pie of that State appear to have lost

be capable of no government but that
of military force, whether such a

icized it so severely that she wore
her old bonnet when she went to see
the Sphinx, and loi it was the only
one there. Everybody had on a new
hat, and every one had it turned up
high on the sides. Said her husband,
'Good heavens! have all the women
gone crazy?" "Yes,'' replied she,
meekly, land why can't 1 go crazy
too?' "My dear" said he, "you may /;

CuriOsities of Vision.

We presume that most of our read
ers have a general notion of the
structure and working of the human
eye,s They know that the little
sphere, of an inch or so in diameter,
wifsSh forms the eyeball, is acamera,
essentially like the one used by the
photographer to throw the image of
external objects upon the surface pre-
pared to receive it and placed within
the apparatus. The mere forming of
this picture inside the eye is not,
however, seeing. The picture might
as well be anywhere else, if there
were not some means of making the
mind aware of its existence. The
optic nerve answers this purpose-a
branch of the brain which enters the
eye through small hole in the rear,
and spreads out in a delicate net
work over the surface whereOn the
picture is formed. The impression
made by the rays of light upon this
network of nerves, is telegraphed to
the mind, which then sees the object,
or, rather, from seeing its image in
the eve, comes to recognize the exis-
tence of the object itself outside the
eye.
If the optic nerve should be sew
erd, the picture in the eye might be
as perfect as before, but we would
nevertheless be blind to it. If any
portion of the net work of nerves Just
mentioned should be paralyzed, we
would cease to see part of the picture
formed on the portion of the eyes
inner surface. If the entire image of
some small object should fall upon
that insensible spot, we could no more
see it, even though looking straight
at it, than if we had no eyes or kept
them shut. 1t is 4 curious fact that
there is such "blind spot" in every
human eye, and what is more curious,
it is found to be just where the optic
nerve enters the eye-the very place
which we might suppose would have
the keenest sight of all. There is
simple little experiment, by which
we can prove the existence of this
blind spot in our eyes: Shut your
left eye, and with the right one look
steadily at the cross just below, hold
ing the paper ten or twelve inches
Gallipolis journal. [volume] (Gallipolis, Ohio) 1837-1919, 1875-01-21

from the eye. Now move the paper
slowly toward the eye, which must be
kept fixed on the cross. At certain
distance the other figure-the letter
O-will suddenly disappear; but, if
you bring the paper nearer it will
come again into view. You may not
succeed in the experiment on the
first trial, but with little patience
you can hardly fail; and the sudden
ness with which the black spot van
ishes and reappears is very striking.
Now, examination has shown that,
when it disappears, its image falls ex-
actly on the spot where the optic
nerve enters the eye, thus proving
that spot to be blind.
