Instinct and RedsOn.-ln the Observa-
ton of the habits of inferior animals,
we recognize many complications OF
action, which, though directed to the
accomplishment of definite purposes,
we do not entirely comprehend. They
are, in many instances, not the result
of the experience of the individual, or
the education of its parents, who In
low forms of animals frequently die
before the Matching of the offspring.
These actions have been grouped to-
gether, whether simple or complex. as
directed by what we are pleased to call
instinct, as opposed to reason. Yet
there is every graduation between the
two.
Among the various races of dogs, the
companions of man for unnumbered
centuries, we observe not only reason
ing powers of rather high order, but
also distinct traces of moral senti-
ments similar to those possessed by
our own race. | will give no ex-
amples, for many may be found In
books with which you are familiar.
Actions evincing the same mental at
tributes are also noticed in wild ani
mails which have been tanned. You
will reply that~these qualities have
been developed by human education
but not so there must have been Ia
tent capacity in the brain to receive
the education, and to manifest the re-
suits by the modification of the habits.
Now, it is because We are vertebrates,
and the animals of which have spO-
ken are vertebrates, that we under
stand, though imperfectly, their men,
tai processes, and can develop the
powers that are otherwise latent.
Could we comprehend them more fully
we would find, and we do find from
time to time IN the progress of our in
quirles, that what was classed with in
stinct is really intellectiOn.-Popuiar

A MAN dragged dog into a Detroit
saloon the other day and wanted the
barkeeper to buy him for ten dollars.
When he found that he couldn't get
that price, the would-be seller dropped
to five, then to three, and in minute
more had come down to fifty cents.
"Think of a great big dog like that for
fifty cents!' he exclaimed, as he pulled
in on the rope. The bartender talked OF
hard times for a while, and the owner
of the dog finally said:-"Well, take
him for ten cents. Pm out of paper

no matter how good he is, stand between

Carbon in the System.-It appe ars that
the new system introduced in France
for reducing obesity, has for its basis a
regime resting on the prevention of the
introduction of carbon in the body, or
on favOring its transformation and
augmenting the amount of oxygen
the food, therefore, to be nOn-nitroge-
nous, varied with few vegetables
containing no starch and some raw
fruit. The temperament of the patient
is also to be kept in view; that is, the
lymphatic to have a red diet, such as
beef, mutton, venision, hare, pheasant.
partridge, ETC., but the sanguine light
diet, or white such as veal, fowl, pi-
geOn, oysters, etc. Vegetables, not
sweet or farinaceOus, are allowable,
also grapes, apples, gooseberries; while
sugar, butter, cheese, potatoes, pastry,
rice, beans and peas are prescribed.
The hygiene consists, in this new sys-
TEN of treatment, in favoring the ac-
ton of the skin, in wearing a tight
roller to support the walls of the abdo-
men, in taking plenty of exercise on
foot or on horseback, also playing at
billiards, fencing, swimming, gymnas-
tics, and kindred diversions.

The WILD GOOSE PLUM.-In late is
sue of the Prairie Farmer Mr.. ID. b.
Wier, an enthusiastic fruit-grower of
Illinois writes concerning this noted
plum that it has proved entirely hardy
where the thermometer has dropped to
81 degrees below zero once during the
past seven years and to 26 and 2S de-
grees three times during that period,
yet the wood of this plum has never
been materially injured.
1t appears that there are some two or
three different plums prOpagated and
sold as WildgoOse, and those who have
inquired of us where the genuine trees
may be had, We cannot answer with
any certainty. But probably the lead
ing nursery men of the county will get
hold of the true sort and of them the
trees may be had. The tree is regular

Compressed Air LOcom0tire.-The
London Builder, in mentioning the fact
that Herr Humboldt is manufacturing
narrow gauge compressed air locomo-
tives at his factory at kalk on the
Rhine, remarks The greatest difficult
ty seems to be to provide the en-
gines with a sufficient store of com
pressed air. so as 20 be able to run GER
tain required distances. They are there
fore supplied with an air reservoir or
boiler, if that expression be per-
misslble, resting on carrlage-frame.
The same frame also carries the twin
engines moved by the compressed air.
The tension of the stOred-up air natu-
rally decreases gradually, until the
pressure becomes so small that 1t can
not overcome the resistance any Ion
ger, and the engine consequently stops.
But the supply of air may be so regu-
lated as to perform the work required
moreover, air is not, like steam, depen-
dent on the temperature, and is not at
fected by stOppages, &c. To make
compressed air last a certain time and
distance it is only necessary to con-
dense it to u corresponding high pres
sure. But there is limit even to Its
condensation, for leaving the possible
danger of explosion at too high pres
sure out of consideration, there Is a
difficulty in so constructing conden-
sers as to make them practically work
able, even at a very high tension. On
the one hand, too great compression
raises the temperature too much, while
on the other, on the re-expansiOn OF
the escaping air. the temperature Is
lowered to such degree that ice
would form. Practically, therefore,
air has hitherto been condensed only to
q pressure of four or five atmOspheres,
and calculations have shown that
pressure of this power in closed re-
seryOir of the dimensions OF boiler,
as generally employed in mines. Is sui,
ficient to move not only the dead
weight of the locomotive, but also
useful load on the horizontal way q
tolerable long distance with the same
ease and quickness as is now the case
il men or horses are used for traction.
If the stOred-up air of one reservoir
should not be found sufficient for q
certain distance, two or more OF them
may be carried, connected with each
other by India-rubber pipes. II pipes,
furnished at intervals with cocks, are
laid along the levels of mines wherever
the engines are to run, the latter may
take in a fresh supply of compressed
air whenever required. As in mines
SO on the surface, pipes may be laid IN
the ground along certain route.
will be seen that compressed air en-.
gines in time, no doubt, will be found
especially useful for road locomotives

No PLow should be put into the
ground until the soil is dry. When a
spadeful of earth thrown down tum-
bles into loose mellow heap, the plows
may be started, but not while the spade
comes out Of the ground smeared and
soiled. A few days delay is better than
being day too soon. The first in the
field is often the last at harvest.

A New SoFA-CUsHIoN COvER.-The
materials required for this cushion are
half a yard of fine white silk canvas, a
yard and half Of thick satin ribbon,
three inches wide, blue or rose-colored; !;
few skeins Of floss silk, and silk cord
and tassels.
Cut the ribbon into three pieces, to
be basted at equal distances on the
canvas, one i'm the middle, the others at
either side half way between the middle
and the edge. Feather-stitch the ribbon
down on both sides with pale yellow
floss. In the spaces left between the
ribbon stripes embroider a graceful
little pattern in fiosses which harmonize
with the shade of the ribbon. Make up
the cushion with lining of plain silk
or satin, and trim the edge with the
cord and tassels.
This is an easy cushion to make, but
the effect is really charming, and We
recommend some of you to try it. The
cushion from which our description is
taken came from England, and we have
never seen similar one in this coun-
try. Black satin ribbon and brilliant
embroidery would be an effective COM
bination.

IS MR.. NICHOLS RUN BY A WHITE
LEAGUE COMMITTEE

No sooner had the business interests of
the State succeeded in defeating the
White Line candidates than the latter put
up representative as Lieutenant Gov
ernor. Elected by reclamation, Mr..
Witt sprung on behind Mr.. Nichols,
and taking the reins in his own hands, he
has led the cohorts of White Leaguery.
The Bulletin recently boosted of this bold
capture of the command:
1t is easy to see that Mr. Witt is practi.
cally taking the lead in the work of the
campaign, and that as the planner, organ
izer and executor he has become the rece2
nized head of the party.
The cortege which guarded Mr.. Mich
oils to the Monroe barbecue was repre-
sented by the following speakers: General
Nichols and Messrs. Witt, Ellis, Ogden,
McEnery, Jonas and Mari.
Review this list. They are the politi-
clans of whom the conservative element
stood in such dread that they defeated
them in the convention. Has either one
OF these guardians renounced an opinion?
No one pretends such thing. Their
doctrine of denying to the colored race
suffrage and Office, was signally defeated,
yet here they are all at the front, in COM
mand, having their nominal leader in Gus
tody and under guard. When we add that
the Democratic journal most bitter in its
political and social hostilities, representing
to the last the sentiments of the White
Liners, has been installed in all the au.
thority of the organ Of Mr.. Nichols and
the central committee, the capture of the
campaign control by the White Liners is
obvious. If Mr. Nichols differs in
anything with those by whom he has
been captured, he owes it to himself
to speak, and let the people know
whether he can be expected to car
~ out the policy protested by him,
or is to go through the campaign with
Mr.. Witt and his organ as his mouth
piece, supported and followed by the men
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-09-02

who have invited every deed Of political
violence which has disturbed the State
for years past.
The public really anticipated from MI.
Nichols new departures campaign of
moderation with rule of justice. He
avowed his independence of parties. We
find him as completely managed by q
committee as any dramatic star or
other celebrity was ever directed by Max
Strakosch or Ben DeBar. Mr.. Nichols has
even submitted to the Central Committee
whether he shall meet the Republican
candidate in discussion before the people.
The organ of the committee says:
We think the acceptance of Packard's
invitation by General Nichols would be q
recognition of the honorable character and
candidacy of that individual, and we are
unalterably opposed to any such recognition.
It subsequently repeats that it ''can
not accord the right and courtesies of
fair, honorable and friendly political op-
ponents" to Republican candidates. It
specifies certain precedent conditions Of
discussion, such as involve repeal of the
Democratic resolutions of Congress, and
the orders of the President, with q modi-
fcation OF the State law of registration
and election, and concludes that the &C.
ceptance of the Packard invitation
Will simply give him social and political
recognition which he and his party desire,
and which we can not afford to accord with
out compensatory advantages.
This would read that although we would
not condescend to recognize or associate
with the Republican candidate. yet, were
it made to our interest to do SO by "com-
pensatory advantages" we would waive
our moral and social objections. As the
price of this admission upon the same
plank platform with "the gentlemen of
Louisiana would be an impotent promise
to violate the laws of the Federal and
State governments. the conditions are
equivalent to rejection Of the invitation.
But Mr.. Nichols. Is he in the hands
OF committee? Are We to expect the
independent utterances to which his pre-
inaugural speech committed him, Or are
we to expect the White League policy
and practices continued under his name
and auspices? The Republicans are
deeply interested in knowing what they
are to apprehend and prepare for. They
suspect that it is ''the old dog in a new
doublet" White Line and shotgun
party, represented by an unknown poll
tician, disguised in the goggles of no dis
cussion and riding the peculiar colored"
pony of Conservatism. The business in
terests are naturally anxious when they
see the man they put up to defeat the
White Liners now in the hands of White
Line committee. All the capital and
labor interests are interested to know
whether Mr.. Nichols means to represent
the Wheeler compromise, or intends COM
hitting himself to the direction of
White League committee Mr. Nichols
has the floor.
