BLOOD IN THE BRAIN.-"An increase
of blood in the brain," said DR.. VIM. A.
Hammond in lecture at Cooper Insti-
tute last night, "have been found to &C
company mental action. A congested
condition of the brain often gives rise TO
hallucinations. A recumbent position
will often bring these on, and they will
disappear when the person sits or stands
up. Doubtless many ghosts have been
seen in this way. Hanging causes a
certain degree of congestion of the
brain. 1 don't suppose any of you have
ever peep hanged, but it is the testimony
of those who have been and who were
cut down that they experienced o very
exalted condition of mind. This is also
true of drowning. Standing on the head
produces a similar condition. An Eng
lish writer of some note says fine land
scape, can be viewed to better advantage
by stopping down and looking back be-
tween the legs. A circus tumbler once
told me that standing on his head was
almost equivalent to taking q glass of
champagne. Impeding the blood in its
return from the brain somtimes produces
hallucinations. I once had a patient
who said that when his cravat was tight
he saw an apparation of Sir Walter Ra-
leigh. This never deceived his intellect.
Who can say how many of the phenom-
ena of Spiritualism and ghosts arise in
this way, where the persons are not suf-
fciently intelligent to rise above the de-
lusion ?"-M,D York World.

Good Advice.

Governor Vance, at the Weldon Fair,
gave his hearers some very sound advice.
He said the late war had taught the
South several important lessons, which
he proceeded to specify. One of them
was, that cotton is not king, but that
meat and bread are, and he urged the
Importance not only of producing enough
Of these for home use, but also Of engag-
ing in manufactures. ave must not rely
upon the North" he said, "for our wheel
hubs and axe handles, our buggy shafts,
and every mechanical and domestic arti-
Gle we use, but must get to making those
articles for ourselves"
Another lesson was, that the Southern
people should not depend altogether
upon negro labor, but must go to work
for themselves. He drew picture of
half dozen white men Sitting around q
store door, whiting white pine and
cursing the negro because he won't
work." and in contrast with this he
painted the happiness and independence
of family "who are not ashamed, nor
afraid, nor too lazy to do their own
work." This is good, wholesome talk,
and its utterance by Democratic Gov
ernor of Southern State shows how
great change the war and its concomi-
tant events have really wrought. Let
those good people OF che North, who feel
that the South cannot be trusted to get
along without the special supervision OF
the Federal Government, take courage
from this evidence of progress. The re-
form which springs from the midst of a
people, and has its origin in their own
expanding ideas and improving senti-
ments, is infinitely more substantial than
any which could be imposed by an ex-
terror force.--Murtrsel6oro Enquirer.

of her benefit last month at the Imperi

of this, called on the jeweler and in
spected the jewelry. 1t was not tt
her taste, and she required several alter
ations to be made. The jeweler prom

6t was held, but the jewelry was no
forthcoming. The prince had reserved
the necklace and earrings for some les
exacting recipient, and the p-ima donna
was left to mediate on the homel,
