Di. ease a Help TO the Intellect.

10 his 'Enigmas of Lite" Mr. Greg, the
well-known English essayist takes the ground
that bodily pain and disease are not only COM
patible with, but may directly contribute to-,
the loftiest efforts of the intellect, sometimes
positively enhancing it's powers-that the
effect of some disorders and of certain sorts of
pain upon the nerves is to produce cerebral
excitation, and that the stimulus thus COM
municated to the material organ Of thought
renders it for the time capable of unusual
effort.
Mr.. Greg assertc that men under the stir
ring influence of severe pain are capable of
degree of imaginative and ratiocinative bril-
iiancy which astonishes themselves and all
who have known them only in ordinary
moods of comfort, turpid faculties becoming
vigorous and sparkling, forgotten knowledge
being recovered, and marvellous CLEANS of
insight being vouchsafed them. The wonder
full eloquence of Robert Hall is believed to
have been greatly owing to the stimulating
influence Of terrible spinal malady. DE-.
Connolly mentions gentleman whose mental
faculties never reached their full power except
under the irritation of blister. Such in
stances as these are regarded by Mr. Greg as
fully corroborating his theory.

The HerzegOvinan TrOuble-What 1t is
All About.

1t is long story, but the facts are in nu
shell. When the Turks crossed from Asia
into Europe, some five hundred years ago
they drove the Christian population into the
Danubian Principalities. For several centu.
ries this population was kept in harsh sub.
lection by their Mahomedan rulers. But az
the Sultan's government grew weaker, the
people OF the principaIities have risen at
intervals to throw off the Turkish yoke In
part in the provinces of Wallachia, Rouma-
mia and Servia, they have been successful,
and SO native sovereigns reign there under
the suzerainty Of the Ottoman Government.
In Herzegovina the Christian population
outnumber the Turks by about five to one.
The Turks being the dominant power, how
ever, have ruled them, as it were, with rod
of iron. The Christian population are
Sclaves. the same race as Hungary, and it is
not surprising, therefore, that they have
given evidences lately of desire to be an
nexed to that branch of the Austrian Empire
If the Christian population of these
Prncipalities were left to themselves
they would soon throw off all allie
glance to Turkey; but the Russian, Eng.
lish and Austrian governments claim to
have something to say in the matter. Russia
wants the provinces, but England objects to
Russian iLf1ences extending further in
Southeastern Europe. 1t was an attempt on
the part of Russia claiming protectorate
over the Christian population OF Turkey, it
will be remembered, which led to the Cri-
mean war. Austro-H Hungary also covets the
provinces, and so, between them all. there
are all the little elements of quarrel which
in its ultimate results, may be felt far beyond
the confines of herzegovina.

Dom Piatt writes from London to the C1Di-
tai, in speaking of Madame Tussauds wax
works:
To the great mass of visitors after night
these figures are SO life-like and real that it is
dangerous to Get out of line, for it is not I'm
common to have some weary man or woman
who has seated himself or herself to be mis-
taken for wax creation and commented
upon and criticised by the crowd. This ia
what happened to John r. Raymond, the
actor, who has made Col. Mulberry Sellers
Immortal John was tired and so hinged on
his centre into an old chair He has not OBJ
served the number placarded over his head
tnat indicated he was occupying the seat of
wax figure removed for repairs. The crowd soon
gathered about him, and at first RAYMOND
thought he was subjected to a common pro-
cess OF being stared at as Col Sellers. Then
1t flashed across his fun-loving brain that he
was being mistaken tor wax figure, for one
OF the ladies exclaimed, "How very life-like
and natural to be sure. Who is it ?" Cata-
logues were hastily searched, and RAYMOND
humored the joke by sitting very still and
putting glass glare in his expressive eyes,
This was not SO pleasant as it at first appeared,
Tor directly man said: "Well, l rather think
he is the ugliest little fellow ever saw" at
is positively the most horrible looking crea- |
ture in the place" "Who is it?" asked a |
lady. The number was fonnd and the account |
read out: tom Thug, the cruelest murderer
ever hung; cut the throats of a whole
family OF fourteen persons for the trifling sum
OF ten pounds eight shillings and sixpence.
Swell, I'll be hanged" cried Raymond,
jumping to his feet, 'if it is possible to make
. charge in England without tackn on that
miserable sum of sixpence. Here is the late
Thomas Thug charged with wholesale assas.
and they had to slap on that six
pence. | believe the late Mr.. Thug was
swindled." The crowd laughed and screamed
Mt the sudden and startling effect. One more
cool said, "Oh, bother !! that is an old game
here. This little fellow is hired to do this
Nine. Tussand pays him one pound six
shillings-." "If you say sixpence," cried
Raymond, "Tll make the number Of the muir
dered an even fifteen"

The Gale at Galveston.

NEW YORK, September IA spe.
cial from Houston, Texas, pronounces
the storm ut Galveston the heaviest
since 1867. The east end of the city is
submerged, and the small houses in
that locality are being washed away.
All communication with the beach Is
cut off, and the horse cars on several of
the routes have stopped running, the
routes being impossible. The work
men at the breakwater are cut of from
the city. The waves are breaking upon
the Strand Mt the east end Of the city,
and great fears are entertained for the
safety of the workmen. Meantime
the water is steadily rising and the
wind apparently increasing, The bar
ometer is at this time still falling, and
the indications are that the storm
has not reached lis height. A
house on the gulf shore has been wash
ed away, rs are the stables of the
Ocean House. Great destruction of
property IL expected In that locality,
but the amount 1t Is imp0selble to ops
proximate, as communication with
that locality is cut oft. AT the City
Hospital the waves ARE breaking
against the building, and the fence Is
washed away. There are rumors Of
several shipwrecks, but nothing def.
mite can be learned Tonight. The
wharves are submerged and freight
much damaged. The Diana, of the
Direct Navigation Company, steamed
out in the stream for q berth haven,
She has not been heard from since,
though no fears are entertained for
her safety. Nothing but the widest
rumors can be heard AT present,
