Our readers may possibly remember
that at the session Of the Mexican Con.
gress, in 1873, q charter, or rather a
" concession as they call it, was granted
to an American Company to build u rail-
way of the standard gauge Il feet 5!
inches) between Mexico City and the
City OF Leon, distance Of $50 miles.
The official announcement Is now made
that at its last session, in December,
1874, the same Congress granted Sec
ond concession to Edward Lee Plumb,
the representative OF the International
Railway Of Texas 10 build another
line, Of the same gauge, from Leon to the
Texas border, on the Rio Bravo del
Norte, there to connect with the Texas
portion OF the road. The distance, COW
cred by the new charter is something
over six hundred miles.
The terms of the CONCESSION are quite
liberal. On the one hand the company
is required to deposit bond Tor two hun
dred thousand dollars within six months
from the date Of the law; to complete the
survey OF 200 kilomclcrs (l2l miles
within eighteen months; to complete the
survey of the entire line within twoyears
and half; to commence work at the
terminus on the Rio Grande within three
years from date Of the law; to complete
100 kilometres (G2 miles Of the road
within fifteen months from the time fixed
for the commencement Of the work, and
100 kilometres each year, or 30 every
two years thereafter; and to finish the en-.
tire line within nine years from the date
Of the law, On the other, hand they are to
receive premium Of 100000 for every
year short OF the stipulated nine in
which the road is completed and are To
receive, moreover, subsidy OF $4,000
per kilometer CSlj,2ss per mile Of the
whole road, to secure which they are to
have % per cent OF all custom duties
collected on the road atthe border, until
the full amount is paid. And, in addi.
ton to this, the road and property OF the
company is exempted from taxation for
Gity years, and all their material is al,
mitted duty free.
As 10 the effect OF this road in develop,
ing the commerce and increasing the
wealth OF Mexico, We fancy that the san,
guine hopes entertained by its projectors
are in no wise exaggerated. 1t opens up
the richest fields and mines in Mexico
not only to our markets, but through II.
to Europe on the one hand, and via iu'
ture Texas Pacific to our western coast
and Asia on the other. 1t presents the
brightest prospect for the development OF
an unusually rich but long stagnant coun'
try that has yet been before lis.

fntellIgenccr
On Saturday, July Sd, meeting Of
wool growers Of Ohio and adjoining coun-
ties was held at the residence OF Hon.
John Faris,near West Liberty. p. Width.
am, Esq, was called to the chair and j.
A. Curtis was appointed Secretary. Mr..
Faris In stating the object Of the meeting
remarked that II was well understood
that wool dealers here, in corresponding
with the Eastern manufacturers Tor their
agents. were urgingn hold Off policy, adj.
ylSing them not to send out buyers, and
representing that by waiting they could
gel wool at their own price
Present figures for wool are not rcm,.
nerntive; in fact, IA prices nuw %, both
sheep and fleece would not pay for the
feed CONSUMED, saying nothing about the
capital invested and the labor spcnt
The meeting was therefore called for con
sultation, with view Of adopting some
course Of action by the wool growers.
A committee having been appointed.
reported the following preamble and rcsu.
lutions, which were adopted;
WHEREAS. We have good reason for
believing that there exists n combination
between the wool buyers, dealers and
manufacturers for the purpose Of keep.
Ing down the price Of wool, which has
resulted in making wool growing non
paying business; and
WHEREAS, We think that the difference
between the price paid to the wool grower
and the price paid by the consumer for
The manufactured article l. too great
we would therefore resolve
lat. That We will hold our wool Tor
an advance on prices now offered, aud
AJAX the cooperation Of others to the
same end, and request the col rcspOndcncc
ri wool growers from different sections Of
the country upon this subject.
al. That in our opinion scli-pro
teciing association would accomplish
much for this and adjoining States in
producing harmony Of intcrcst between
the manufacturer and the wool grower
I'd. That from our present knowledge
and Information, We would recommend
the organization known NJ the Patrons NJ
Huabandry to the wool growers for their
support, ns offering facilities for PRO.
lection against those combinations which.
both in The purchase and the carrying
between the grower and the consumer do

9TH. Failing in this, We will be compell-
ed 10 abandon the wool growing .busi'
ness, which has heretofore been a great
source OF wealth to this section Of conn-
try. And in imitation OF our fathers
ninety-nine year. ago, declare our indie
pendence OF those who are living from the
handling OF our produce.
9Th. That We invite discussion with the
wool dealers Tor the purpose Of producing
lair dealing, and consequently harmony.
7lh. That the proceedings Of this meet
ing b. sent To the Wheeling papers Tor
publication with request that
Moundsyillc, WcIlsburg and other papers
copy.
Remarks were rfrade to the effect that
formerly the woods OF Ohio county and
adjoining counties OF this State, aud
Ohio and Pennsylvania commanded the
highest market price, but the wool buy
crs, by buying the inferior clips and for.
warding it on as West Virginia and
Pennsylvania woods, have deterlorated
the reputation Of our woods, and rs they
would pay no higher price lora clip got
up in good order than Tor dirty wool It
has LETT no incentive to put wool in good
order, and has had u further tendency to
demoraIizc the wool business, both with
the grower and manufacturer,
Attention OF manufacturers was called
to these facts, and correspondence, as sug.
gested in the resolutions, was requested
from them.
1t was also remarked that did We man
uiacturc our woods at home it would save
the cost OF carriage, as well rs bring la
Dor to US, thus increasing our population
and consequently our wealth.
After some further remarks the meet
ing adjourned to meet August II, 1875, at

The Brain.

The brain is by far the largest mass OF
nerve substance contained ~ the body
Of any animal possessing braln-ln-
deed. it far exceeds In bulk and weight
all the rest of the nervous system to-
gether. The researches of European
observers give 49, ounces as the weight
of the average brain OF the white 1nhab-
liant of Europe, the maximum that of
Cuvier, being 64l ounces, and the
maximum consistent with fair degree
of intelligence 81 ounces. Webster's
brain allowance being made for disease
which existed 632 ounces; DR..
Abercombie's, SO ounces, and Sperz-
helms, IS 1-16 ounces. The average of
"a American brains accurately weighed
by DIR. Ira Russell was So 06 ounces; the
same observer found the average full
negro brain as determined from l47
specimens to be only 1926 ounces. The
capacity of Webster's Uranium was the
largest on record, being 122 cubic inches;
that of the Teutonic family, including

ounces, and it is often much less than
this. In one instance coming under my
own observation the weight OF the ma
ture brain was only IA ounces. Mr..
Gore has related in the AntbropOlogicGl
Review the particulars of case of mi
crouphaly, in which the brain weighed
only 10 ounces and grains. The sub
iect, female, though AZ years of age,
had an intellect which is described as In
fantile. She could say few words, such
as "good child,' morning." with
tolerable distinctness, but without con-
nection OF clear meaning, and was quite
incapable of anything like conversation.
Her habits were decent and clearly, but
she could not feed herself, at least with
any degree of method or precision. She
was fond of carrying and nursing doll.
In a case described in a subsequent num-
Der of the same journal by Prof. Mar
shall, the weight of the entire brain was
only 81 ounces. The subject was boy
12 years Of age. Nothing is said relative
to the intelligence manifested. DR..
