The Writer'S Cramp.

A paper read by M. Bouilland before
recent meeting of the French Academy
of Sciences gives an account of his
further researches relative to LESSONS of
the brain. In his former communica-
tions he demonstrated that the loss of
speech was due to malady of the third
of that organ. He now goes further,
and asserts that the three faculties which
essentially distinguish man from other
animals-speech, reading, and writing
are each controlled by separate portions
of the brain. In his researches he dis
covered that the paralysis of one of those
functions could exist without the others
being affected, and he gives as an ex-
ample case in which he was called to
a consultation on young man, whose
avocations compelled him to write con-
tinualIy. AT first the patient had felt a
slight weakness in writing, then great
difficulty, and finally an absolute loss of
the faculty. The result of the closest
examination could not detect any defect
in the muscles of the arm or hand, the
latter retaining all it's sensitiveness and
power for every other purpose than that
of writing, and all other functions being
normal and in good condition. The
conclusion arrived at was that the source
of the infrmity must not be sought for
in the external organs, but in the center
itself of nervous action-the brain. The
young man was advised to learn to write
with the left hand, which he rapidly
succeeded in doing. The defect from
which he suffered had long been known
as writer's cramp, just as the loss OF
speech was for centuries termed paralysis
| of the tongue. Both designations were
equally enormous, both now being at
tribated maladies of certain portions Of
the brain.

THE Republican State Convention, which
met in Madison, Wis, on the 11th, nomi-
mated the following ticket: for Governor,
VIM. E. Smith, of Milwaukee; for Lieuten-
ant Governor, J. NJ. Bingham, of Chippewa !;
for Secretary of State, Hans B. Warner, of
Pierce; for State Treasurer, Richard Guen-
ther, of Winnebago; for Attorney General,
VIM. c. Carter, of Grant; for Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction., W. C.

adopted, indorsing the civil service policy of
the Administration. On the Southern ques-
ton, the Convention says: In the efforts of
the present national administration to re-
store peace and concord to the South we
recognize magnanimous purpose to remove
every semblance of lawlessness or violence
we hope that this magnanimity viii be
duly appreciated, and the reciprocal pledges
made by prominent citizens and officials of
the South will be faithfully kept. We shall
rejoice if the Southern policy of the Presi-
dent produces the hoped-for results of order
and peace. But if these results shall not
follow this experiment, we demand that
other measures be adopted which shall Sc
cure to all citizens, without distinction of
race or color, the fullest enjoyment of their
constitutional rights.

A Tale of n 0Battle.Steed."

According to the London Examiner
the following is perfectly true " story
of the sufierings of battle-steed,"
and the causes of them. The animal
did brave and valiant service in the
Franco-Prussian war, and was afterward
sold to a German firm to whom it was
useful, but would have been more use
full save for frequent attacks of the
collie "The attack once over, he aP-
peared as hearty as ever; but each re-
current fit became more serious, and
finally, short time ago, he gave up the
ghost during particularly severe one.
Persons who made diagnosis of the
case were excessively puzzled thereat; =;
and a post mOrtem examination was de-
termined upon. A large stone weighing
five and one-half pounds was found in
one of the intestines. On careful in
spection the stone turned out to be a
common sponge, which the beast had
| swallowed during the war, and which
had become impregnated with calcar-
eous deposits and highly indurated. 1t
was very hard. The Examiner pro
nounces the story almost equal to that
of "the Florentine who swallowed fork
and suffered from indigestion till he
also s., allowed knife and had his din
ner carved downstairs though, to be
accurate, it was not Florentine at all,
| but Frenchmau.

THE EUROPEAN WAR.

A DISPATCH from Ragusa reports that the
Montenegrins Oh the 18th, at Jesero, defeated
Hafiz Pasha, who was marching to the relief
of Nicsics. Six hundred Turks were killed
and one hundred taken prisoners.
IT has been ascertained that simul-
taneously with the Kavarna massacre, the
Circassians committed atrocities in eleven
villages of Eastern Bulgaria. In the vii
lage of Sinjuk, inhabited by Greeks, one
hundred and fifty houses were burned and
three hundred inhabitants massacred. One
hundred corpses of women have been dis
covered at Samuela. A letter says these
facts are verified by Consuls.
A CORRESPONDENT before Plevna tele-
graphs at the taking of the Grivica redoubt
the Turks neither ran away nor asked quar-
ter. The first Russians who entered thought
the redoubt was abandoned, but the garrison
had only retired to the casemates and gal
leries, where they stood at bay. The fight
ing was all with the bayonet. The Turks
Immediately tried to take the redoubt, and
poured larger number of men into the ad-
jacent intrenchments. The Russians bonn
barded them, but suffered severely from rifle
fire, at only two hundred yards distance.
This attempt to retake the redoubt and
another desperate one on Wednesday were
repulsed. This correspondent, who is ap-
parently unaware of the recapture of the
other redoubts from Gen. Skobeleff, esti-
mates that the Russians had lost seven thou
sand killed and wounded, and the Rouma-
mans two thousand

A Remarkable PetrefactiOn.

The Portland Oregonian contains this
story: "Judge E. G.
Bronaugh has attached to his watch
chain little amulet or charm, which,
aside from its peculiar history, is very
pretty in itself. 1t is nothing more or
less than a petrified rosebud. During
the rebellion, young nephew of Judge
Bronaugh, while in one of the Southern
States, wrote home to his mother and in
closed in the letter rosebud. The let
ter arrived safely at its destination and
having been perused, was laid aside
with the rosebud in a drawer, where it
remained for eight or nine months.
When the drawer was overhauled
and the letter again brought to light,
the rosebud it contained was discovered
to be petrified. The Judges aunt re-
Gently sent the stone to him at this
place, and he placed it in the hands of a
jeweler for the purpose of having it
fitted to carry on his watch chain. The
petrefaction is so very hard that while
trying to drill q hole in it two or
three tools were broken before the OBJ
ject was accomplished. 1t is a perfect
rosebud and so well preserved that the
finest tibres are to be seen. What pecu-
liarities of air, earth or water could
have changed the tender rosebud into a
hard, almost diamond-like substance in
the short space of nine months is to us a
mystery"

Narrow Escape of General Crook.

The Omaha Bee publishes statement to
the effect that Gen. Crook narrowly escaped
assassination at the hand of Crazy Horse,
on the occasion of the recent disturbance
at the Red Cloud Agency. Crazy Horse has
been working to breed discomfort among the
Indians, and urging them to go on the war
path, but could not succeed among the
Northern Indians. He had been pretty
powerful, but when he came to the reserva-
ton, he found so many chiefs who were re-
garded his superiors, that he lost all his in
fuence, and became angry and ill natured
Gen. Crook sent word that he wished to talk
with him, and had started out with Mr.
Clark, an Indian Agent and interpreter,
to see him. On the way down to his camp,
Gen. Crook was overtaken by car
rier, who stated that Crazy Horse, in CONVEX
sation with his men, had said that he IN
tended to talk pretty saucy to the General
and in case this General should object he
would kill him. General Crook and his
companions, who were unarmed, thereupon
abandoned the idea of having talk with
Crazy Horse, and the plotter's arrest and
death followed. Red Cloud, Spotted Tail,
Little Badman, Man-Afraid-ofIis-H Horses,
No Water, and others, will go to Washington
the last of this month. General Creok
left for the East and will be in Washington
when those chiefs arrive there.

The Great Volcano of COtOpaxi Bursts
Its Bonds.

A letter from Catacunga, Peru, gives the
story of the eruption of the volcano of Coto-
paxi, which took place July %. Streams
Of water poured from all the craters at once,
on the Callao side, sweeping away every
thing in their course. Another irresistible
torrent followed the course of Saquimal
River. The hacienda of Signor Donaso is in
ruins. The very soil is gone. OF the place
of Signor Larrea nothing is left.
The river carried off five hundred head
of cattle at pasture in the fields. The
Alaques River overfnwed and caused great
damage. The Cutuchio oSerfiowed, carry
ing every thing before it. A splendid ma
chine shop went down like card house at
the first rush of the waters. So did various
mills. The entire district was like sea,
and the inundation would have destroyed
the city, had not the course of the flood been
timely diverted into the river channels.
The total loss of life will reach, if it does
not exceed, one thousand persons. At least
two thousand head of cattle have been de-
stroyed, and of smaller animals the loss is
much greater. In the midst of the roar of
waters and the crashing of houses the vol
cano poured out enormous quantities of
cinders, which gradually darkened the
whole face of the heavens and left Cata-
cunga in the profoundest obscurity from
one o'clock in the afternoon until ten
o'clock at night.

REKACCINATION.

The vexed question as to how often
vaccination is needful is again discussed
by the London Lancet, the best English
medical authority, which distinctly dep
recates the frequent repetition of re-
vaccination as being useless and tending
to unsettle the minds of people in re-
gard to its preservative power. 1t states
that revaccination, once sufficiently per-
formed at or after puberty, need never
be repeated. The nurses and other SER
wants of the London smallpox hospital,
when they enter the service, are inva-
riably submitted to vaccination, which
in their case is generally revaccination,
and is never afterwards repeated; and
so perfect is the protection that, though
the nurses live in the closest and most
constant attendance on smallpox pa
tients, and though also the other ser
wants are in various ways exposed to
special chances of infection, the resident
surgeon of the hospital, during his forty
one years of Office there, has never
known smallpox to affect any of these
nurses or servants.

SneeZing.

A sneeze, to be in good taste, should
crack like a rifle on a clear morning. A
sniveling, dry, half-frightened-to-death
sneeze is odious, but for one of your
full, clear, sonorous, detonating, rever-
berating explosions-o of those reports
that set the wine glasses on the sideboard
a jingling, and awake pussy-we say for
one of those earthquake sneezes, we
have love inferior only to that which
we bear to woman and-our favorite
dog. A recipe for a sneeze of this
genus is as follows: When you feel a
tickling at the root of your proboscis,
just jump up, if you be seated (other-
wise no necessity run to the window
through which the sun shines, throw
your head back until the bump of
philoprogenitiveness presses ON your
coat collar, open mouth, snarl like
a half-starved hyena at piece
of fresh meat, inhale a deeI
breath, and then-blaze away. The
effect will be prodigious. One echo will
salute you from the housetop over the
way, the good housewife will order the
clothes to be taken in, your game cocl
will turn up the red of his eye at the
sun, and you will then have the bes
assurance that you have not sneezed il
vain.

The Man Who Stopped His Paper.

Philip Gilbert Hamerton, in his adj
mirable papers on intellectual life,"
thus talks of the man who "stOpped his
paper" Newspapers are to the civilized
world what the daily house talk is to the
members of the family-they keep our
daily interest in each other, they save us
from the evils of isolation. To live as a
member of the great white race that has
filled Europe and America and colonized
or conquered whatever territory it has
been pleased to occupy; to share from
day to day its thoughts, its cares, its in
spirations, it is necessary thatevery man
should read his paper. Why are the
French peasants so bewildered and at
sea! 1t isbecause they never read apaper.
And why are the inhabitants of the
United States, though scattered over a
territory fourteen times the area of
France, so much more capable
of concerted action, SO much more
alive and modern, so much more
interested in new discoveries of all kinds,
and capable of selecting and utilizing
the best of them? 1t is because the
newspapers penetrate everywhere, and
even the lonely dweller on the prairie or
in the forest is not intellectually isolated
from the great currents of public life
which flow through the telegraph and
press"

PROTECTED TUNNELS.

The projected tunnel between Spain
and Africa is attracting much attention
among the commercial community of
France. The tunnel would start at AL
gesiras, in the Bay of Gibraltar, run un
der the Straits and open upon the coast
of Africa. 1t would be about nine
miles in length and its estimated cost
94,000,000 sterling. When completed
the Dover Calais Tunnel being also
built, there would be an uninterrupted
railroad route from Manchester to Tang
ler of about twelve hundred miles in
length. The advantage to British COM
merce would be immense; but France
would also find her advantage in more
direct communication with Algiers, the
trade of which is assuming a very i'm
portant magnitude. The imports of that
colony in 1876 amounted to 100000
francs and the exports were valued at
166, 100000 francs, which trade was done
very largely with France. The interest
in the tunnel would be chiefly confined
to England and France-a factnot with
out its political significance; for as
trade routes must have large share in
determining international policies, the
fact that France and England would
have united interests in the Suez Canal,
in the Channel Tunnel and in this pro-
posed Straits Tunnel would be very apt
to bring them into close political al

A FRENCH ornithologist has taken the
trouble to find out ut what hours during
the summer the commonest small birds
wake up and begin to sing. The result
of this inquiry shows that the earliest
riser of ali is the greenfnch, who tunes
up at about half-past one a. m, some
hours before the more robust and melo-
dious species of finches are ready for
work. The second to put in appearance
is the blackcap, who is to be heard at
half-past two, or thereabouts; and half
an hour later the quail makes his first
attempt at musical performance, 1t is
nearly four o'clock, and the sun is well
above the horizon, before the first real
songster appears in the person of the
blackbird, who ,precedes the thrush
about haitian hour, and the chirp of the
robin is about the same length of time
before that of the wren. Finally, the
house sparrow and the tomtit occupy the
last place on the list.
