'sGERMAN SYRUP.o-No other medicine
in the world was ever given such test
of its cur ative qualities as Boschee's Ger

four hundred thousand small bottles of

charge by druggists IN this country to
those afflicted with Consumption, Asth-
ma, Group, severe Coughs, Pneumonia
and other diseases Of the throat and lungs,
giving the American people undeniable
proof that German Syrup will cure them.
The result has been that Druggists in
every town and village in the United
States are recommending it to their GUS
toners. Go to your Druggists, Perley &

they know about 1t. Sample bottles 10

TIRE BRAIN A PHONOGRAPH.
Suggestive Theory of an English Doctor.


Students OF De Quincy who have been de-
lighted and instructed by his brilliant paper
on THE Palimpsest of the Human Brain
would do well to read again that most sug-
gestive essay in connection with some specll-
lations just advanced by DIR. O. William Sic
mems, bearing upon physiological research.
The discovery Of the microphOne and of its
two elder sisters, the telephone and the pho
nograph, the doctor thinks, will probably be
regarded as one of the greatest achievements
OF the present century, and the phenomena
presented by them may reveal the Sc
crets OF animate organization He proceeds
to trace an analogy between the
action of the brain In the exercise of memory
and OF the photograph In reproducing the
impressions It received. Briefly, his state
received through the senses are communi-
Gated to the cOrpuscuar bodies imbedded In
the gray. substance Of the brain; these cor
puscular bodies, In which the sensitive nerves
terminate, are connected by delicate iilaments
with the nervous system Of volltion, on which
they react, and that the mind may have the
power OF dealing with impressions received
in the past there must be some material
which permanently receives these impress
sions. He then asks whether the gray sub
stance Of the brain be not like store-house,
containing the accumulated treasures Of
our knowledge and experience, to be
called into use by the directing power
OF the mind, In turning on, as 1t were, one
photographic barrel after another. On this
theory there may be given an explanation of
dreams, hallucinations, etc, in states or con-
ditions where the control of the will is weak
ened and the imprints of the past in the brain
become confused and enter into strange COM
binatiOns. That the appearance of things
around us may find a permanent Judgment
through some form of impression in the gray
matter Of the brain, as well as sounds, has
lately been shown by DR.. WiIloughby Smith.
He substituted crystalline seenum for carbon
in the microphone, and when a ray of sunlight
fell on the selenium a noise like that Of a
steam hammer was heard.

AN INTERESTING CASE.
In the case Of the State vs. Lena Hamilton, in
dicted for perjury, the trial was entered Into on
Thur day morning, and the examination OF
witnesses continued to late on Friday evening,
when the case was submitted and the court de-
livered the charge to The jury. The jury re-
turned into open court about II o'clock .. m.
with the verdict Of Guilty an recommended to
ne niSG0y VI .tno court. W. Mug JuIlbi, nt5ut,
the counsel for defendant filed a motion for
new trial on Saturday morning, returnable on
Wednesday, July 8, 1878, and on suggesting to
the court that the mental condition of the de-
PENDANT was much affected by the verdict rem
dered. and that her husband and herself were
property holders In The Sixth District, and on
further suggesting that the District Attorney
had no objections 1t was ordered by the court
that the defendant be released on her own
reeognizance In the sum of $1,000 during the
pendeney of the rule tor new trial.
The verdict of the jury In this case has pro-
voked considerable comment In CarrOllton
Its, origin occurred IN quarrel between
neighbnrs, resulting III Mrs. Hamilton making
an affidavit against a Mr.. Young, her neighbor
charging him with assault and battery the bat
terry consisting in Glowing her The accused
having been discharged, brought q charge oil
perjury against his aecuser; hence the trial.
The evidence was In the main negative. The
numerous witnesses testified to the effect that
they could not say that Mr. Young had struck
Mrs. Hamilton. Mrs. Young, the wife of the
principal witness for the State. swore positively
that her husband had not struck the prisoner
The scene In the courtroom when the sealed
verdict was read yesterday morning is said to
have been very touching one, the prisoner ex-
