Government In lsnSSiu.

Every commune, every mir is govern
Ell just the way it wants to be. The
Russian mir is the perfect realization of
The perfect commune dreamed of by
certain Occidental socialists. The pro.
pCrty Of the commune is iudivisible,
and as each has always more land than
it is possible to cultivate, a regular con-
ference IS held every year and a decision
made as to what part of tho soil shall
be planted and what products shall he
cultivated. Every soul in the village is
employed in the work and after harvest
the profits arc equally divided. The
''mir" has the privilege Of banishing
lazy or worthless characters. IF crime
be committed all the inhabitants arc
held responsible until the guilty party IS
found. In the same way avery member
Of tho community is held responsible
for the payment Of taxes. But in prac-
tice things do not run 50 smoothly by
any means as the theory Of the system
might lead one to suppose. There are
plenty of lazy folk, turbulent and dan
gerous characters, ambitious men, and
over all these tower the employees of tho
central government, who rule tyranni-
cally and make the peasantry pay them
heavily for overlooking certain things
or pretending to ignore deficiencies.

CoIOr-lICarinE

Popular cNprcSSlCnS are often very
significant. ~ SAW three dozen lights
OF all colOrS," or some similar express
sion, may frequently be heard from
persons who had received violent blows
on the head or face. Under the inilu-
enCe Of shocks Of this kind, the eye
really seems to see infinite numbers of
sparks. Shocks of Il certain class i'm
pressed upon the nervous system seem
to have the faculty Of producing phe-
nomena of light. This remark has been
suggested by the facts which we arc
about to relate, which lead us to sup
pose that sonorous vibrations are sus.
ceptible in certain cases of provoking
luminous SENSATIONS. There are, in
fact, persons who are endowed with
such sensibility that they cannot hear
a sound without at the same tune per-
cciving cOlors. Each sound to them
has its peculiar color; this word CORES
ponds with red, and that one with
green, one note is blue, and another is
yellow. This phenomenon, "Color-
hcaring," as the English call it, has
been hitherto little observed.
Dr. Nussbaumcr, of Vienna, appears
to have been the first person who took
serious notice of it. While still a
child, when playing one day with his
brother, striking a fork against glass
to hear the ringing, he discovered that
he saw col0rs at the same time that he
perceived the sound; and 50 well did he
discern the color that, when he stopped
his ears, he could divine by it how loud
sound the fork has produced. His
brother also had similar experiences.
DIR. Nussbaumcr was aftcrward able
to add to his own observations nearly
identical ones made by a medical stu
dent in Zurich. TO this young man.
musical notes were translated by cor
tain fixed colors. The high notes in
duccd clear colors, and The low notes
dull ones. More recently, M. Pedrono,
an ophthalmologist of Nantes, has OBJ
served the same peculiaritcs in one of
his friends.
