THE RUSSO-TURKISH WAR.

So far as present developments in
dictate, the Russian invasion OF
Turkey is to take place at two points
simultaneously, the Eastern and
Western extremities of the Black
Sea. The Russian armies seem to
be prospecting at both these points;
in the East, after failure on small
scale at Batum, on this sea coast they
seem to have pushed their forces
rapidly in Armenia and to have
gained a great battle in front of
Kars, which strong place they are
now beseiging; their objective point
after this is supposed to be Erzeroum
on the inland road from Kars to
Trebizonde, the most important
Turkish position on the Southern
coast of the Sea.
West of the Black Sea the intend
ed field of operations is the lower
Danube which they are approaching
through Roumania having so far
advanced to a point about half way
between Bucharest the Roumanian
capital and Galatz their objective
point on the Danube. We publish
simply what is known and refrain
from cOniectures.

New Book.

X-Y-Z-or THE SLEEPING PREACHER-by
the Rev. @. W. Mitchell.
y small book with the above title
has been handed us by an esteemed
friend with the special request that
we would give our opinion upon its
merits. The source from which we
received it would alone ensure Il care
full perusal at our hands, and more
over there are some statements in
teresting in scientific point of view
which have enlisted our attention,
and on which we are now prepared
to give candid report.
The subject of the work is The
Rev. c.. B. Sanders, a Cumberland
Presbyterian minister, who is affect
ed with peculiar mental alteration
entitled dualism well known in pa
thOlogy though of rare occurrence.
The popularity of this condition is
that at certain periods attended with
symptoms of deranged circulation
of blood in the brain, the patient
falls into a peculiar mental condition
under which he forgets entirely all
that has occurred to him outside of
the time while he is affected, and
again on returning to his normal
condition, everything which occur
red during his attack is equally a
a blank to him then; 50 that he may
be said to live alternately in two sep
arate stateof existence each of which
is entirely distinct from the other
and unconnected with it by memory
or consciousness.
This we have said is a condition
by no means unknown in pathology
zeal science, on the contrary many
similar instances are ON record.
One popularity is that during the
abnormal, or as it is sometimes
called the induced period, while
there is complete lapse of memory
as to ali recent transactions, there is
frequently return of memory for
things long previously forgotten.
Thus person who was thus affected
was found tOspeak a language, which
nobody about him could understand
and of which he had no knowledge,
but which was subsequently found
TO be a Breton dialect or pQt0iS Of
the French language; and it after
wards TRANSFERRED that in his early
childhood he had Breton nurse
who used to talk to him in that dia-
lect.
This condition is always the re-
suit of some lesion of the brain and
in the case of Mr.. Sanders, its orig
in is clearly described in the letter
Of Mrs. Harlow p. 23-25, which
any medical man will recognise as
the description Of a CONGESTION OF
the brain, supervening as is fire.
quently the case during an attack of
of typhoid fever. The author of the
book expresses the opinion that "his
physical Affections. are not the
cause of his mental phenomena,
but rice rersd." We have been led
to exactly the opposite conclusion
by Mrs. Harlow's statement.
The induced condition is unques-
tionably one of depression rather
than exaltation of the intellectual
and moral faculties as a whole,
though this isnot Inconsistent with
the exageration Ofsome special facpi-

ssPray on NV Plate. ToO.o

A bright little three-year-old was
seated in his high chair at the din
ner-table. Mamma had arranged
the little uneasy, while for the mo-
ment his sprightliness and fun had
made him the observed of the fam
lily. She had placed him up to the
table, pinned on his bib and sue
ceeded in getting the little mischiev-
Gus hands quiet and making him
"hush," while father proceeded to
ask the blessing. While this was in
progress, our little chubby made a
discovery. It was that all the
plates on the table, except his own
little plate, were in one pile at
"papa's place." and, as it seemed to
him, We're put there to get the ben
fit Of the solemn ceremony. So,
scarcely waiting for the Amen"
he held out his own plate in both
hands, saying, "Please, papa, pray

TO the Public.


The question has been asked how can DR..
AGREE afford TO make a set of teeth for SO 90
or SIS 90 that he formerly charged $50 on or
S25 90 for. Can they be made of the best
material? My reply to these questions are ::
First-That none but the best material
for making all plates, either Rubber or Cell
uloid, is used by me. The difference is in
the price of the teeth and not the plates or
workmanship. The workmanship Is the
same on the SO 90 and SIS 90 sets, and cannot
be surpassed by any in the State.
SecOnd-I have the best mechanical den
fist in the State. 1t is his business to attend
10 this department, while attend to the
operative; hence this reduction in my
charges.
Persons living at a distance coming to
GAINESVILLE can by calling at my Office di-
rectly the morning train arrives, have an
upper or lower or an entire set of teeth in
serted in time to go home on the evening
train. ! will also state that / have a new
process for mending broken rubber plates
by which they are made as good as new at q
small cost. My work is all guaranteed, and
IL persons do not like it when done they can
leave it on my hands and it will cost them
nothing. II. NJ. AGREE.

Changed Their Tune.

Redfield writes to the Cincinnati
Commercial
Ex-Governor Brown, of this State,
who accepted a place on the Com
mission to Louisiana, and who was
so severely criticised by some of the
BOurbons in consequence, has eXpe-
rienced reverse tide in his favor.
The success of the Commission has
been so marked, the whole thing re-
sulting in manner to please the
Democrats, that they no longer look
upon Brown with "A critics eye as
having accepted "place under the
usurper." On the contrary, the
BourbOns conclude that Brown did
a good thing for their white fellow
citizens in Louisiana by helping so
materially in the work which has
resulted in setting Nichols on his
pegs,

TOO MUCH MARRIED.

The following clipped from the
Cincinnati Enquirer, speaks for it
self, we are informed that the n. F.
Hood in question is not unknown in
this neighbOrhood we only trust
that his case will be warning to
others who are disposed for transac-
lions with agents, who propose to
give a too easy release from the
matrimonial moose:
In the Circuit Court of Dearborn County,
Indiana, Judge Roberts presiding, the pre-
Hminary steps were taken to test the valid
ity of one of the thousand divorces which
the Territory of Utah is annually sending
out rs an article of merchandise, labeled
&. o. D., and which are granted on the
slightest pretenSe-granted for incompati-
billty of temper, for u croSS-eyed look, or for
the Offense of calling the wife Il goose, Just
plain goose" These preliminaries are COM
menced by Mrs. Maggie H. Hood, late
bosom companion of y. +. Hood, pump
manufacturer in Aurora, Indiana, and they
start of by charging that gentleman with
marital infidelities. Mrs. Maggie was mar
ried TO Mr.. n. +. Hood in Jacksonville,
Indiana, in 1863, but the two did not live as
turtle-dOves very long. n. F., who is q
blonde of pronounced type, couldn't put up
with the "SasS" of Maggie, who is a brunette
reckless in the use of her tongue), and so the
pair that came together for better or worse
turned against IA diet of pickles and separ-
ated.
Mr. Hood, acting on the good advice ofSt.
Paul that it is not good for man to be alone,
soon after the mutual separation COM
menced looking around after a legal Separa-
ton. and at the same time after another
ompaniOn to share his joys and sorrows.
He straightwaY commissioned one OF the
patent right divorce solicitors to order di-
Vorce for him, and the divorce was ordered
from Beaver County, Utah, and forwarded
October 4, 1875. Armed with this document,
Mr.. Hood married in due form November,
l., 1876, a comedy little lady named Jennie
Cheney in HOpkinsVille, Kentucky, the
Rev. j. w. Lewis performing the marriage
ceremony. The couple soon after came to
Aurora, where Mr.. Hood entered into the
manufacture of pumps in company with
Joe Rea, and he and his new wife COM
menced boarding at the Indiana House,
where they have lived ever since.
Mr. Hood was arrested on Saturday night
in answer TO an Indictment found by the
Grand Jury, and was required to give bail in
raised to 500 To defend his bill of divorce
Mr.. Hood has secured the services of NiesSrs.
Richard Gregg, Charles Jelley and John
Parks, while Mrs. Maggie, TO prove that
such bills are worthless and that her nus
band is an adulterer, has retained Hon, w.
:. Holman, who will be assisted by the Pros
ecutOr, George Brumblay. The case viii no
doubt elicit a great deal of attention among
that class of people whose temporal happi-
ness rests on the slender thread OF II Utah
divorce.

THE LAW OF MURDER.

Two events happened last week in
Tennessee which have been the sub
iect of much discussion as bearing
upon the law of murder and its adj
ministration in Tennessee, and,
though the dates of their occurrence
render it impossible that the one can
have influenced the other, yet men
persist i'm discussing them together,
and saying that if the law were al
lowed to take its course in cases like
that of ThomaSSon, cases like Mock
bees would also be left to legal rem
edies; but that the impossibility of
procuring legal redress for murder
in this State is one great cause for
lawless proceedings like those which
took place at Dover on the 18th.
1t is ofgreat Importance to discuss
affairs of this sort dispassiOnately
when they arise and one step to-
wards doing so will be to discuss
them separately, each upon its own
merits.
We will admit therefore that
lynching is apt to prevail in COM
munitieS where the law of murder is
unsatisfactory executed, and then
inquire whether the interposition of
the executive authority in favor of
ThOmaSsOn is such an abuse as, con-
curing with Others, tends to pro-
mote the practice. We must how
ever, premise two things before en-
tering upon the question; the first is
that whether the executive action
here was right or wrong it can at
the best furnish an excuse and in no
sense q justification of the Dover
tragedy and secondly, the Governor
is not the person to blame, if blame
there be; the chief justices of the
state are his legal advisers i'm such

THE Odd Fellows of Tennessee
have added to the many commend
able features of their order the new
departure of a relief society. The
following officers have been selected:
]. l.. Weekly, president; A. S.
Williams, Vice-president j. r.
Harwell, secretary and medical ex-
aminer, and Hugh Carroll, treasurer.
We add the following from the
committees circular addressed to
the lodges of the State:
We are now ready to receive APP
plicatiOns for membership. Any
Odd Fellow, whether a resident of
Tennessee or elsewhere, in good
standing in his lodge and of sound
health, may become a member by
paying an admission fee of four dol
lars. This fee is intended to meet
the expense of blanks, medical ex-
aminatiOns, ETC., and to create a
sinking fund, to be drawn upon in
case of failure of any of the members
to meet their assessments. In case
of the death of q member, his heirs
receive as many dollars as there are
members of the society-not to ex-
coed, however, two thousand dol
lars-tO be paid within sixty days
after due notice Of death. To reim-
burse the treasury thus drawn upon
an assessment is made upon each
member, according to age, at the
time of his joining the society.
Those from twenty-one to thirty
years of age are assessessed at 81 /;
from thirty-one to forty, 81 20 ;
from forty-one to fifty, 81 60; from
tifty-one to sixty, or over, So 20.
After the first annual meeting of
the society, in October, 1877, none
can be admitted under our bylaws
over sixty years of age. Secretaries
or others, to whom bylaws are sent,
will please see that they are well
distributed amongst their members.
When a list of applicants is obtained
in any place sufficiently large to
justify It, the medical examiner at
Nashville will go in person and
make examinations. All inquiries
regarding the society win be
promptly answered. Address all
communications to J. r.. Harwell,
Secretary, Nashville.

man named Zimmerman died in
Virginia, leaving a wife and three
children. The wife became insane
and departed with the youngest
child. 1t was supposed she and the
child were drowned, but she had
gone some distance to another cOun-
ty, where she was taken charge OF
and sent to an asylum where she
afterwards died. The child was
given to family and was adopted.
She grew to be woman, not know
ing but she was a real daughter.
Some time ago she made the dis
covery, which led to the finding of
her older brother and sister, and
now there are three happy souls.
