The ISthmuS Canal.

A letter from Paris says that M. de Lesseps has already. commenced the for nation of a company to construct the tide level inter-oceanic canal from Colon to Panama across the Isthmus of Darien, the route selected by the International Congress. The company which ob- tained the concession from the govern ment of Colombia, and made arrange ments with the Panama railroad, will turn over their charters to the new or ganization for proper consideration, so that the new company may start fairly and squarely.
 A first subscription of $80, ,000, ,000 will be opened simultaneously all over the world about September next. It will be an essentially popular loan, without government aid or guarantee. The amount of the first subscription, of which ten per cent. is- to be paid on subscribing, will, M.,de Lesseps expects, be more than covered. MT. Nathan Ap- pleton will be director of the company, and will be delegated to open subscrip- tions in the United States.
 NJ. de Lesseps goes to Panama via New York, to take out the first spadeful of earth on the 1st of January, 1880.

CauSeS of Insanity.

One of the Commissioners of Public l Health in Prussia, Professor Finkelburg, 1 has recently been featuring upon the
 causes of insanity. Professor Finkelburg
 tor of medicine, which gives much
 weight to his opinion on this important i subject. The alarming prevalence of 1 the disease in Prussia has recently turned the attention of the authorities to an in vestigation of the causes. It is found
 that one person in every four hundred and fifty is affected with insanity. Pro- lessor Finkelburg finds that amongst the working classes the evil originates from 1 insufficient food and unhealthy dwell ings. The excessive use of alcoholic liquors figures conspicuously in filling the lunatic aslyums.
 Amongst the educated classes the causes of insanity are more varied and quite different, and often date from infancy. To the forcing process in education much evil is attributed Too much is demanded in study and too little time given to sleep-in fact, overwork and long continued mental application de- freshing sleep altogether, and this re- suits in weakness of the mind and the body, the former often preceding the latter calamity. A purely negative edu- cation is recommended until the child reaches the age of twelve At this age it is better prepared for rapid progress in its studies than another who has been put fo too premature work.
 Amongst grown people Professor Finkelburg makes 8 broad distinction between men of work and men of pleas ure. Activity and a suitable exercise of all the faculties conduce to the preserva- tion of mental as well as the intellectual health. The class of idlers furnish the greatest number of hypocondriacs. The most serious and so far the most incur able diseases of the brain are those that affect the ablest and most active business men. Softening of the brain or chronic inflammation of that organ seems to be fearfully on the increase amongst class who overfatigue the mind in the pursuit of business and allow themselves but little sleep or varied emotions. It is therefore recommended to all to try as much as possible to vary occupations, to distract the mind as much as possible from too absorbing thoughts, to give the faculties agreeable recreation, and to take free exercise in the open air. After all the wisest know but little about the mysterious functions of the brain, and still less about the terrible diseases to which it is subject. In this country but few men have attained any eminence in a successful diagnosis or treatment of this class of diseases, and with them failure is rule rather than an excep- tion

A Oueer Chicken.

MT. David Fishel, of this city, is the proud and happy possessOl of a queer fowl that settles for all time the question of hens teeth. There is probably hardly a reader of the Herald that has not at some time during his or her life stopped to think whether a hen had teeth or not, and then have laughed for entertaining the question. Itmay be safely said now that the laugh is on the other side. There is hen that has teeth, and Mir. Fishel has the hen. The teeth are not very large ones, it is true, but can be plainly seen when the chickens mouth is open, and look very much like 8 baby's first two or three incisorS. There are none on the lower jaw (for the ami maj seems to have jaws), but it's affec- tionate owner, who, by the way, seems to regard it very much as most men would regard a baby, says that be hopes 1t will in time develop more masticatOrs. The hen is somewhat giddy, as yet not being quite a year old, and was born and raised in Ohio, arriving in this city, with a large invoice of her sisters, cousins and aunts and an occasional uncle, about a week ago. She fell into MT. Fishel's hands in the regular way of business, and has for the past three days occupied with pride and becoming self possession large show window in his shop. She has no bill, and her head is something like monkeys, with a fore head. The nose and nostrils are very like a humans, and the cartilage of the nose is soft, responding freely to the finger touch.-NeaO Y0rb Heratd.

The COd.

The cod is one of the most fecund of fish and more widely used for food than any other fish except, perhaps, the her ring. It is not confined. as some per- sons seem to think, to the waters of this continent, extensive fisheries of the kind being on the coasts of Sweden, Norway, Iceland and the north of Scotland. The NetherlanderS were engaged in them as early as the fourteenth century; the English went to the coasts of Iceland about the same time for the same pur- pose, and the French have also been similarly employed. The cod is always caught by line; the bultow method, in- troduced by the French, being adopted both on the coast and out at sea. The bultow is a line of sometimes 3 3,OO0 fathoms. with hooks fastened on it by snoods six feet long, about twelve feet apart. Buoys and anchors are attached to each end of the line, which is stretched across the tide to prevent the entangle- ment of the hooks. The next morning the line is set at eyening-the hooks are loaded with large fish-several hun4 dreds usually-dead from drowning. More than 5000 European vessels, inde- pendent of boats along shore, are said to be engaged in this fishery, and one man has been known to catch 800 or 600 fish in ten or twelve hours on the banks of Newfoundland, which excel all other regions in productiveness. It is esti- mated that the roe of the female contains from 4,00O, GOO to 5000, ,0O0 eggs, and that he who eats it eats what, if allowed to arrive at maturity. would equal some oo,00O,00 pounds of food. There are 2,500 vessels, tonnage ,0O0 tons. and l2, 900 10 l3,O0O men employed in the cod fishery of the United States. The fishery has been carried on for nearly five cen turies without interruption; j. and yet there has been no diminution of the sup ply, which is prodigious, equal to any apparently possible increase of demand. Almost the whole civilized globe eats cod nowadays, and nature seems deter mined to contribute far more than enough, even should the entire world become a voracious consumer.

They Went and Proved 1t.

A statesman was once in conversation with a few friends as to what course ought to be adopted with regard to mis- representation in the press; and a friend said to him:
 "The obvious course is not to take notice of what is said of you in the papers. People will find you out in time if you do not contradict these things"
 Well" said the statesman, heaving pursued. I entered on public life with g resolution that, whatever the pres might say of me, would take no notice of it. For years and years persevered, till at last my friends came to me and said. Ihers IS an accusation in one paper of such an unutterab.y villainous kind that you owe it to yourself and to your supporters to contradict it."
 The statesman felt that in this case an exception must be made. He contra dicted tie report, as he informed the friends to whom he was accounting his experiences.

Col. Chss. NJ. McGhee, of Knox
willie, Vice President of the Memphis
and Charleston Railroad, and General
Manager of the connecting line from
here TO Bristol, as well as from Knox
vile to Dalton and further south, was
among the arrivals yesterday. Col.
MCGhee was here four months ago
when the ever to be remembered exo-
dus occurred and by his GOODNESS,
good manage men and accom- mOdating
disposition did much to encourage and
promote the comfort and safety of our
dis ressed and Over-anXiOus refugees.
On tie night of tie l2.h Of July he
went out on one OF the heaviest trains
that ever left Memphis, when the
people along the line were wild with
excitement and there was great danger
that lbe track would be torn up or
other violent measures be taken to
stop the running of trains. He kept
in constant telegraphic cOmmunica,
lion with points ahead and gave
assurances which quieted both
the people on the train
and along the road. AT the quaran-
tine station this side of Chattanooga
he was o. great service to many of
our people. Afterward he came back
near the city, even after the trains
stopped running nearer than Moscow,
and looked after the interests Of the
road and its employees. The road has
been admirably maDaged all the while
and every possible accom- mediation has
been extended to refugees, both going
and returning. Many Of them owe a
debt of gratitude to the officers and
employees of this road that will not
and should not soon be forgotten.
Colonel McGhee is accompanied by
Mr.. J. r. Ogden, Superintendent of
the E. T V. & @. RR., with head
quarters at Knoxville, a thorough
railroad man and an accomplished
gentleman, who will be kindly remem-
bered by all Memphians who met him
during the past season. n.-MenlphiS

the Huascar. The Blanco entered
into action at 10 o'clock. At 1880
the Huascar was knocked to pieces
and surrendered. Her commander,
Grau, was killed, as also were the
second and third in command. The
crew of the Peruvian iron-clad
fought bravely and heroically. On
account of the state in which the
vessel has been left, [ think
she will be Of no further
use. There were no losses on the
Blanco and Cochrane. The Ohig-
gans, from the commencement of
the action, pursued the Union at
full speed. The Loa followed the
Ohiggans on the same errand.
When the action was over | ordered
the Cochrane to follow the Union
also. I think the Ohiggans and
