Wilson, in his book of travels in the Hima-
laya Mountains, mentions that the Chinese
Tartars use no milk, assigning as a reason
that it makes people stupid A similar opin-
ion of fish exists in Sind. There, according
to Sir Alexander Burnes, fish diet is believed
to destroy the mind "He is but fish
eater, is the common apology for ignorance
or stupidity in any one. Now, it is impossi-
bic that these people are nearer right than
the savants, who assert that fish is a
imulat ny train food, because of its
supply OF phosphorus. 1t is not remarked Of
people along ocean coasts, who diet more
freely on fish than those of the interior, be-
cause it is cheaper, mora abundant, and to be
had fresher, that they are intellectually above
the average of men and women in commnni-
ties where fish is eaten spariDgly or not at all.
1t is our impression that coast people, in
either civilized or uncivilized countries, aver
age rather below those of the interior in
braininess. This is true in Africa and in
Europe, and even in America, outside the
large cities and villages. Take the fishermen
along the Massachusetts Coast, the Jersey
men, the East Mary landers, and they are not
conspicuous for mental breadth or develop
ment, and will not favorably compare with
the people of the interiors of those States.
The Coast negroes Of Africa are uniformly in
fefior to the tribes visited by Spoke, Living
stone and other tr .velers in the central re-
gions of the Continent. It may be ques-
toned, therefore whether the sdUd1dS who adj
vocafe fish food for its supposed beneficial
effect upon the brain, are as near the truth of
the matter as the inhabitants of Sind, who
maintain that produces stupidity Cincinnati

WASHINGTON NOTES.

WAsHryaToN. Oct. 6.-Ex-Senator Pease had
= long inter view to- day with the President on the
subject OF Mississippi, including causes OF the
difficulties present condition OF affairs ana rem
edies. The President talked freely, and said he
was much grati6ed that the two political parties
had effected an amicable adjustment,lby which a
fair ell ction uld be held and peace be main
tanned in the State.
Efforts have been heretofore made by Senator
Bruce and friends for the removal Of four Fed
eral officers in Mississippi, bu, Mr.. Pease has as
surances thas no removals would be made IN that
State for mere partisan reasons. Attorney Gen
eral Pieirepont assured him that none coming
under his department would be disturbed.
The Postmaster General has directed, in COM
pliance with the request Of Postmaster Filley, OF
st. Louie, that a re-arrangemant OF the schemes
for fast N il service between New York and st.
Louis and the -outhwest be made prior to the
first proximo, for all such matter that naturally
belongs to the Pennsylvania Railroad and can be
advanced thereby, and orders it to be sent by
that line instead of the New York Central and
Lake Shore route.
This new arrangement will rave to the depart
ment the expsnse of an unnecessarily long
haul and insure quicker delivery OF the mail be-
tween the East and Southwest, on or near the
line between st. Louis and Pittsburg, to which
closed pouches are sent. 1t will also, In meas
ure alleviate the inconvenience and delays now
caused BY the lack Of railway postal car service
between Pittsburg and st. Louis. The Postmas-
ter General says he views this matter IN bnsi-
ness light, and desires justice done to all.

The instinct of Newfoundland dogs to say

The instinct of Newfoundland dogs to save
drowning person has been somewhat pain
fully tested by an unlucky Frenchman. He
was walking in the country with friend, who
possessed magnificent Newfoundland, and
incautiously questioned the truth Of the ami
mails sagacity. The dogs master, vexed at
the slur cast on his favorte, gave his friend a
q push and knocked him into shallow river.
Turk Immediately sprang in, and Selling
one of the tails of the Immersed mans coat,
commenced to swim for land. Unfortunately
another Newfoundland, trotting along the
other side of the river, saw the affair, and
also came to the rescue. Dog number two
seized the other tail of the coat and wished
to swim back to his master, Turk held fast
and struggled for his side, and the owner Of
the coat cried in vain for help. At last the
coat gave way, and each Newfoundland swan
proudly home with piece of cloth in his
mouth, so that 50 Turk m lster was obliged
to plunge in himself to save his friend.

thoughwe know that any thing published under the
direction, or emapating from the pen of Mr. Waldo
is AWAY well selected and acceptable, yet good

city that we feel anxious about the forthcoming
work. Hundreds Of people, from all sections Of
the country, who have visited our city have re-
turned to their homes with the idea that "there
is not much to attract Strangers in New Oileans,
and this merely because they did not have any
guide to the many objects of local and historical
interest in the Crescent City and environs. Mr.
Waldo's work will remove this difficulty, and en-
able future visitors to learn what our city and its

had been turned.
There will be no session of the District
Court until the next regular term, as Judge
Dewing holds that he can not after an ad'
journment sine die call session.
Smith, the sheriff. is rather inclined to
to hold on. He thinks that under existing
circumstances he can hold the place and draw
the salary attached to the position without
performing any of the duties appertaining to
it, or in person appearing in the Office.
None of the individuals telegraphed for by
the Acting Governor have reached the city.

for.
Gen. Hugh j. Campbell will go to the par
ism to investigate. He does not go author
lied to summon witnesses, but does 60 fully
authorized to receive statements, and he will
take and seriously consider all that may be
made to him. He will have Shorthand
reporter" with him to stake down" any
thing bearing on the disturbance that may be
said.
The date OF his departure has not been
fixed.
Notwithstanding the expressed opinion of
Judge Dewing, the Acting Governor requests
a especial term of the court His letter is
as follows
Hon. E. W. Dewing, Judge of the Fifth Judicial
District:
Sri have received your report of the circum-
stances attending the opening and violent inter-
ruption and adjournment Of your court in East
Fe;iciana on the 18th inst. l have also received
informal on from other sources that a condition
OF lawlessness and turbulence most detrimental
to the welfare of the community has prevailed
unchecked for some time in that parish and in
the adjoining parishes.
The interests O. the whole people require that
the courts should be respected and protected in
the enforcement OF the laws and the administra-
ton OF justice, and that all armed violence should
be suppressed. l can not but think that the
great ma ority Of the citizens of East Feliciana
are in favor Of the maintenance OF public peace
and order, and if called upon will sustain the
proper authorities against mob violence
With view, therefore, of securing proper
observance of the laws and in order that parties
aggrieved may not be deprived of their legal
remedy in the courts through the violent acts OF
iawless persons, suggest that you csll a special
term of your court, to meet in East Felciana on
as early day as practicable, and I believe that
the law abiding citizens of the parish will CO.
operate with the State authorities 10 preserving
the pea and maintaining the dignity of the
court. Very respectfully,
c. G. ANTOINE,
Lieutenant Governor and Acting Governor.
1t is probable that the suggestion will be
accepted.
If it is, Smith, the Sheriff, will certainly
resign, as he knows that refusal to do so
would insure his removal.
