The number of journalists returned
for parliament at the late English
elections is without precedent. Per
haps when constituencies in the
United States get tired of the con
tinual excess of legislation, which is
one of the consequences Of ELL
ing their public assemblies with
an undue preponderance Of
lawyers, they may follow the iudicious
and %appreciatiye English example.
We do not often commend without
reserve transatlantic preccdents, but
in this ease we feel bound altogether
to eschew qualifications. Possibly all
the journalists sent into the house OF
commons are not exactly the journal.

OF 1715 responses to the circular
which were sent to every republican
county and township committeeman
in the state, 1894 are for Senator
Blaine as first choice for president and
303 for General Grant.

o ' Feet-washers.

The Austrian court is the most
pious one in Europe. On Holy Thurs
day, the emperor and empress, in the
presence of their whole court, of the
priyy council, the diplomatic corps,
and the superior officers Of the Vienna
garrison, washed the feet Of twenty
four peor old men aud women, having
previously served these venerable
paupers with plentiful meal, placing
the several dishes before their hum
BILE guests with their own hands. Af-
ter the old people had partaken Of the
good things provided for them by the
imperial bounty, the tables were
cleared by imperial archdukes aud
ladies of honor. The feast consisted
OF four courses, conveyed into the ban
queting-hall by noble yoemen and pa
trician pages, under the direction OF
kinsky, the high cook marshal. at
its conclusion the feet washing
ceremony took place, a court
chaplain reading aloud from holy writ
during the performance of this ancient
rite. subsequently a purse containin
thirty pieces of silver was presented
by the emperor to each of the old men,
and by the empress to each of the ven
cradle danes, one of whom had all
but attained her hundredth year,
while the youngest of the twelve was
a hearty octogenarian.

In his Outspoken way. General
Sherman has written a letter to a
prominent Chicagoan who wanted
advice on the subject Of street pave
ments, for the benefit of his city.
After detailing the experience in
Washington with patent pavements
the general says: You may there
fore safely infer that my Judgment
condemns all pavements laid In the
streets of any city composed of wood,
asphalt, bitlmen, or cement Of every
sort aud kind, and | assert that every
wooden pavement in Washington is
already a nuisance, and | believe that
the 'asphalts' now so much the fash.
ion will in time follow suit, and either
the Belgian or macadam be substi-
tuted therefor, according to the esti-
mated amount Of travel. God AL.
mighty made granite, porphyry and
bluestone, and man has for centuries
argued that he could out of sand.
lime, cement, and asphalt make a
harder and better stone, but he is
simply an enthusiast, and is mistaken.
Nothing is absolutely perfect, and
nothing can stand forever the eternal
action Of the shod hoofs of horses and
wheels, but Of all known substances
granite and porphry are the best foi
this purpose, are most enduring anC
economical"

Singular Experiments that Go 10
Prove Remarkable Things.
London Medical Rscord.l

London Medical Record
The Berlin Gegewart, of Nov. 10,
1879, contains a report of some expe-
riments made by Dunstmaier, to test
the accuracy of Jager's theory, that
the soul of every man and animal is to
be sought for in the characteristic
odor exhaled in each case. Dunts-
maier, who unites in his person the
Psychologist and the metaphysician
was, until these experiments convinced
him of his error, an outspoken oppo-
nent of Jager's views. He is. now,
an enthusiastic convert.
Duntsmaier's method was no doubt
suggested to him by his familiarity
with experimental science. He con
sidered that light and the soul-if the
soul is the odor-are both radiated,
and that light can be, as it we're, COL
lected and fixed by a Photographic
plate coated with iodide of silver.
What body, now, is as sensitive to
Odors as iodide of silver is to light?
Evidently the nerves of smell in a dog.
In the center of the laboratory a cage
containing twenty hares was placed,
and a dog was admitted to the room.
He at once made violent efforts to get
at the hares, which of course. 10 their
terror, rushed to and fro in the cage.
After two hours of this torture the
dog was killed, the nerves of smell and
the mucous membrane of the nose re-
moved and rubbed up in a mortar
with glycerine and water. The
twenty hares had been exhaling their
souls for two hours, and the dog during
all his painting and shifting, inhal-
ing them for the same length
Of time. The glyoerine might
be expected, then, to contain a certain
quantity of the soul of the hare, the
main characteristic of which is, OF
course, timidity. That this was the
fact the following experiments seemed
to prove. A few drops of the extract
were administered to a cat; she ran
away from some mice instead ofpoune-
ing upon them. By the simultaneous
injection of only two cubic centimetres
a large mastiffw was rendered so coward
ly that he skunk away from the cat. By
a similar experiment, in which, how
ever, a young lion in the menagerie
played the part of the hare, Dunst-
maier succeeded in isolating the soul
substance of courage and in transmit
ting it to other animals. Still more
interesting experiments showed clear
ly that these "psychotypic" glycerine
extracts had a decided effect on the
human species. Thus, timidity,
Dunstmaier had not the courage to
believe in his own great discovery.
This effect soon passed off, however.
