How Gen. Grant Emptied Plymouth
Church,

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Gen. Grant
and ex-Minister Romero, of Mexico,
attended service to-day in Rev. Mr..
Beecher's church, Brooklyn. The
congregation became aware of the
presence of the distinguished gentle
man and remained in their seats
after the benediction and doxology
Mr.. Beecher informed the people the
services were ended and asked that
they leave the church. There was
yet no manifestation of a disposition
on the part of the congregation tC
leave before Grant and Romero. Mr.
Beecher then said, ttThis house is fol
the worship of God, not Of man." and
appealed to the assembly to disperse'
The seats being still retained. Grant
and Romero took their departure, and
were quickly followed by the whole
congregation.

A CHANGE WANTED.
OFFICE:

A bungling statute in Georgia ap-
pears to have defeated the will of
the people and lost the electoral vote
of that state to Gen. Hancock. The
authors of the statute in question
appear never to have thought that
it was possible for the first Wed>
nesday to come before the first
Monday in December. 1t provides
that the governor Of the state shall,
on the first Monday, notify the
electors to meet and vote for a pres-
dent and vice president. But the
constitution of the United States
provides, that the electors shall
meet and cast their votes on the
first Wednesday in December.
Hence the notification to be given
by the governor provided for by the
Georgia statute comes too late, and
the electoral vote of Georgia may
be lost altogether. .:.4- ...-
p This will suggest to those who
have not already considered the
subject, the extremely complicated
and unsatisfactory nature of our
electoral system. It borders close
ly upon the absurd, and ought to be
abolished. We want a simpler sys-
tenn, one under which the voice Of
the people will prevail without any
possibility of defeat. We will now
have nearly four years to consider
this subject, and We trust that the
wisdom Of congress will discover the
simpler method which the people
desire. 1t is a burning shame,
after the experience of 1876, when .
temporary and unsatisfactory make.
shift saved us FROM anarchy, that ,
more satisfactory system has NO
been adopted for the election of .
president and vice president of tn,

PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN TENNES.
SEE.

Our public schools in Tennessee
are not what they should be, by any
means, and we trust no friend of
education will rest until they are
improved. But while our schools
are not what we want, we have
reason to congratulate ourselves
upon the vast improvement in pub
lie sentiment on this subject. There
are now no open enemies to the
free school system. A few years
ago they were to be found every
where. The public schools of Knox
vile are not excelled in the south.
They are patronized by all classes
of people, rich as well as poor, and
their superiority over the select
schools we had few years ago are
universally conceded.
Yet it is only short time since
they were provided for, after an ex-
citing and somewhat bitter contest.
Now they are regarded as indispen~
sible, and any effort to abolish them
would meet with a storm Of ap-
plause.
But while in the cities we have
about all that we could expect, our
system is still wofully deficient in
meeting the demands of the rural
districts. This question will doubt
less come before our Legislature
this winter in some shape. Nothing
more important can engage the
attention of the lawemaking power.
We have confidence in the members
of that body that theywil deal
with the question intelligently and
in proper: spirit. Gov. Hawkins
will select an efficient, capable, ear"
nest and energetic Superintendent
of public instruction, but he can
do little unless the laws relating to
schools thoroughly provide for. their
ethclency.@ r 90

In 1864 Geo. Peasland was member
of the California Volunteers, cavalry
regiment, which was engaged in several
campaigns against the Apaches in Ari'

fights with these murderous savages
Peasland was struck in the abdomen by
4 poisoned arrow and very nearly lost
his life. The effects of the poison re.
mained in his system, however, mani
Testing themselves most disagreeably al
times and causing him intense suffering
Peasland isnow employed as night watch
man at the Virginia & Truekee Depot
in this city. Last night. while walking
along the track, hel was suddenly seizec
with terrible pain in the side and alb
domen, which had the effect of com
pletely paralyzing his lower extremities
and causing him to fall between the rails
He was utterly unable to move from thu
spot, and was in danger Of perishins

ficient strength to gather some stone
that lay within reach and throw then
against the depot saloon on the corner
thus attracting the attention Of person
inside, who came to his assistance ant
removed him to the railroad depot. IL
was found there this morning, on tn
floor, writhing with pain, and in astat
bordering on insanity.

It has been strongly doubted whether
Joan of Arc ever suffered the punish
ment that has made her a martyr,
though details Of her execution and last
moments grace the civic records of
Rouen. Several books have been pub
lished discussing the question. A Bel
gan lawyer is the author ofone of these.
He contends that the historians-who
have done nothing but copy each other
in the narratives of her death-err ex-
ceedingly in saying that it took place on
the last day Of May, l473, the fact be-
ing that she was alive and well many
wears after that date. There are good
grounds too, for believing that the pret-
ty tale of Abelard and Helolse is pure
fiction. .r..
Nobody has yet unriddled the mystery
of the Man in the Iron Mask, and nobody
seems likely to do SO, while the identity
of the writer of the ''Junius" letters Is as
far from being settled as ever. These are
two insoluhe enigmas, impenetrable
mysteries that battle solution, and about
which, perhaps, the public has become
tired of surprises. ...
An extremely witty and CHARACTERISTIC
anecdote told OF Lord Beaconsfleld will
bear repetition. An adherent from a
distant county brought his two sons to
the then Mr.. Disraeli, and asked him to
give them word Of advice on their in
PRODUCTION into life. "Never try to as.
certain" said the ilfustrious statesman
to the elder boy, "who was the man who
wore the iron mask, or you will b.
, thought a terrible bore. Nor do you,
turning to the second, TASK who was tht
author Of Junius,' Or you will be though
bigger bore than your brother"

A Southern California Pioneer.
lSan Francisco Bulletin.

The death OF f. P. F. Temple, South
ern California pioneer, is announced as
having occurred at La Merced ranch,
near Los Angeles, last Wednesday even
ing. The deceased belonged to that
small band of enterprising Americans
who settled in California years before
the American occupation. He was a
native Of Reading, Mass. He arrived
in California in 184l, in. the bark Tasso,
from Boston, which vessel was consigned
to his brother, John Temple, who estab-
lished himself in business in Los An
aeles as early as 1927. The deceased
was one Of the most enterprising Of the
early American settlers Of the southern
counties. He was one of the first to
make substantial Improvements to city
property, erecting a handsome and costly
structure at the juncture Of three of the
principal streets Of Los Angeles.
For many years Temple Block was the
most imposing structure in that city,
and it is still one Of the largest and
most ornamental. The deceased estab-
lished in 1872, in partnership with his
father-in-law, William Workman, what
was known as the Temple and Workman
Bank. 1t went under during the fnan.
cial crisis which swept over the State in
1875. The fortunes of both partners
were absorbed in the settlement of its
aff.,irs. Mr.. Workman, who had passed
the allotted three-score and ten, was SC
affected by the disaster that he ended
his life with his own hand, and Mr..
Temple was SO prostrated that he wa,
from that time to the hour of his death
physical wreck. At the time of the
suspension of the bank he held the offic.
of County Treasurer. but very soon aftel
resigned. He was Sc years of age, ane
leaves wife and several children.

SPIRITUAL PHENOmENA.
An Interesting Scientific Explana-
tion OF Some Of Them.

tton OfSome OF Them.
1.-THE Nation.l e
Professor Heidenhain has been doing
some remarkable things at Breslau
Germany in the way of hypnotism.
This scientist had been invited by the
City Fathers to repeat-and explain in a
rational way the marvellous results which
Herr Hausen, the Danish "magnetizer,'"
had been producing in q series of public
exhibitions. Many well known citizens
had been hypnotizsd by the Dane, the
medus sperandi being for each one to
look. fxedly at a bright glass button
held by himself about eight inches from
and above his eyes. -... g..
The subject hypnotized became insens-
ible to pins thrust into his hands, imi-
tated sounds and motions made before
him, and performed many strange and
absurd antics. On awakening he was
unconscious. as well as incredulous, OF
what he had done. Prof. Heidenhain
declared his ability to repeat all of Han-
sens performances, and his doings have
created sensation among the Germans.
The hypnotic state could be brought on
by slight, constant, and uniform, or re-
peated irritation affecting the eye, ear or
skin, "passes" with the hand-the
warmth Of which is often effective at a
distance-a tuning fork, a watch, or a
distinct fixation point, with thoughts oc-
cupied only by the object felt, seen or
heard.
In one case, each of five Polish soldiers
was told to hold loud-ticking watch to
his ear and listen intently. In five min
utes two of them had fallen into pro
found cataleptic sleep, and became in
sensible to pain. On awakening, they
declared that they had not been asleep.
A constant touch on the back of the neck
made some subjects perfect initiative
machines, reproducing exactly every
word, look and motion Of the person on
| whom the attention was fixed. As soon
as the finger was taken from the neck
the repetition stopped instantly,
but stranger still, Prof. Heidenhain and
his colleagues succeeded with some sub
jects in hypnotizing one-half of the brain
and body, while the ether half remained
normal. One side of the face would
smile, while the other side remained un
changed in cataleptie state. One arm
and leg could be moved at will, but moi

The first time was found to be the mos
difficult to hypnotize subject. Afte
the first time some grew more sensitive
to the influence, while others finally los
the power of being affected. Some ac
quired the faculty of hypnotizing them
selves. Professor Heidenhain maintain
that the production of hypnotism is no
injurious to the subject. The Professor
brother was hypnotized on an averag
two or three times day for two month
