CuriOsities Of Mesmerism.
Popular Science Monthly

| Popular Science Monthly.
The distinguishing feature of the ear
| lier stages of mesmerism in man is that
by slight stimulation any one center
can be easily set in violent activity, and
its activity easily stopped, without the
activity spreading to other distant CEN
tiers. 1t is on this that the mesmeric
phenomena usually exhibited depend;
with most of these phenomena you are
no doubt familiar, so that l need men,
ton one or two only.
Complicated refexes may be pro-
duced in various ways, just as we have
seen is the case with frog even with
out its cerebral hemispheres. Thus
Braid mentions that on one occasion an
old lady who had never danced, and
who indeed considered it a sinful
pastime, when mesmerized began to
dance as soon as waltz tune was
played.
A statement made to a subject viii
often produce implicit belief, notwith-
standing the evidence telling of his
senses. 1 remember telling subject
that / was about to bring hot body to
his face, and he was to tell me when it
was painful. 1 put my finger on his
cheek, upon which he cried out vio-
lently that was burning him. When
he was awakened he remembered that
1 had touched him with something hot.
The idea 1 had given him was remem-
bered, and evidence of his sense of touch
was disregarded.
There are certain attitudes which we
usually assume under the influence of
certain moods or ideas; from each of
the muscles concerned in bringing
about any one attitude, impulses travel
up to the brain, and give rise to def
mite muscular sensation which comes,
therefore, to be associated with par
ticular mental mood. In mesmerized
people the production of a definite mus
cular sensation not infrequently pro-
duces in the mind the mood with which
it is in the wakeful mind associated.
At the same time ideas may be pro-
duced corresponding to the mood, and
the ideas may give rise to particular
actions, such as laughing, crying,
fighting.
If the head is pushed back and the
shoulders opened out, the face assumes
a look full of pride or haughtiness, and,
if the subject be asked what he is think
ing about, he will give some answer
indicating what fine fellow he fancies
himself to be. If, then, the head is
bowed and the shoulders contracted,
the aspect of the face changes to one of
humility and pity. Occasionally it hap
pens that slight pressure on a single
which causes it to contract,
will, by an irradiation of nerve i'm
pluses, produce the muscular sensa-
lions proper to a group of muscles, and
this will give rise to the associated
frame of mind. Thus very different
feelings may be made to rapidly succeed
one another in the mind of the subject
by simply pressing on the various mus
cles of the head and neck. At first
such an experiment looks like revival
of the now happily forgotten phrenol-
o0y.

"What is the latest fashion, thenp"
"Why, on Saturday morning had

three pair of black hose. / was some
what surprised and asked the object.
In each case was told that it was not
considered the proper caper to wear
two red stockings now, any more than
it is to wear two black ones"

.Wear one of each kinda scarlet
stocking on one foot and black one on

stanza tenderly, and ordered that her
husband should be Immediately con-
ducred to his presence.
When Don Bernardo received the
order to appear before the king, uncer-
tain of his fate, and not anticipating
the meeting with his wife and child, his
heart sank within him. This depres-
sion was, however, soon succeeded by a
transport of joy at seeing his beloved
wife, and forgetting the circumstances
under which they met, he threw him
self into her arms, and embracing her,
he expressed his emotions by alternate
smiles and tears. Then addressing the
king, he said;
81 accept sire, with resignation, my
fate, whatever it may be, since the
favor has been accorded me of seeing
once more the two most cherished OBJ
jects of my healt's devotion"
my son." interrupted the king, "do
not fear my displeasure; have found
by the story agreeing with that of my
daughter that thou art innocent, and l
admire thy generosity. 1t is the will of
heaven! and | adore its DEGREES. Live
happily together, and may your chill
dren be the browning joy of my old
age!"
The king then embraced them affec-
tionately, and all wept for joy. Mean
while the king sent for the old Spanish
nobleman to come to the court of Pal
ermo to consummate their bliss. Thus
united in love, and blessed by heaven,
they all passed their days in the enjoy
ment of tranquility and happiness.

France is as much cut up into small
farms as England and Ireland are the
reverse. There are 100000 farms in
France, and the average size is ten
acres. As consequence the land is
exceedingly valuable.
Colorado's enormous crops the pre-
sent year are not caused as much by
the land producing more abundantly as
the largely increased acreage.

One Hundred and Twenty Miles on
Stperback.

Fort Worth Crexl Gazette.
can old gentleman named Jones rode
from Oak Grove, fifteen miles from
Fort Worth to neighborhood forty-tive
miles south of that place, Wednesday,
to notify his daughter that her mother
was dangerously i'll. He did not ride a
wild and untamed horse of the pampas,
nor ride in a chariot, but, mounting the
hurricane deck of 2-year old steer,
made the trip of sixty miles in sixteen
hours. He started on his return trip
the next morning before the sun was up,
his daughter accompanying him, riding
pony, while the oil gentleman con-
tented himself with his faithful bovine.
The party arrived at Fort Worth at 7
o'clock in the evening, and, after some
simple refreshments and a little rest,
proceeded on their way, intending to
make the remainder of the journey by
midnight, thus accomplishing 20 miles
in forty-eight hours on steerback, afeat
never before performed"

Those we love truly never die,
Though year by year the sad memorial wreath,
A ring and flowers, types of life and death,
Are laid upon their grave.
For death the pure life saves,
And life all pure is love; and love can reach
From heaven to earth, and nobler lessons
teach
Than those by mortals read.
Well blest is he who has dear one dead
A friend he has whose face will never change
A dear communion that will not grow strange
The anchor of love is death.
The blessed sweetness of loving breath
VIII reach our cheek all fresh through weary
years.
For her who died long since, ali waste not
tears;
She's thine unto the end.
Thank God for one dead friend
With face still radiant with the light Of truth,
Whose love comes laden with the scent Of
youth
Through twenty years of death.
John Boyle O'ReiHy, in the Boston Pilot.

A writer in the Augusta Chronicle,
Col. ohm W. X. Pope, has been startling
the good citizens Of Charleston. He has
discovered that the building of the
Augusta and Knoxville Railroad, or more
properly an extension of that road, by its
new owners, the Central Railroad, will
divert to Augusta a large share of the
business heretofore tributary to Charles
ton, and that Augusta is to be the centre
of the future operations Of the Central
This new railroad, according to Col,
Pope, is to be extended to Dog Island
in the Mexican Gulf and the I'M
told wealth of the Indies Is to
roll into the lap of Augusta. That city,
it seems, is not only to have the greatest
canal in the world, and be the centre of
the manufacturing interests of the South,
but is to control all the cotton of South
Carolina, and take all the business of its
principal city. In fact, it is to be the
great centre of the universal verita-
bic Duluth. savannah is not in
cluded in the absorbing process, but we
do not see how she can be exempted.
If Augusta is to absorb one seaport, she
only requires little time to absorb
two. The Central Railroads lines of
steamships will doubtless continue their
voyage up the river, and land their cargOs
in the rear of the Georgia Railroad Bank.
We have not interviewed President
Raoul on this important railroad matter,
but we venture to say that Augusta will
have just as much a monopoly of the bust
ness of the Augusta and Knoxville Rail-
road as she now has Of the Georgia Rail-
road also owned by the Central, and that
Charleston and Savannah VIII get just as
much Of the business Of the new road tap
ping upper South Carolina as they do of
the old road which taps upper Georgia.

Facts About the Pocahontas Horror.

Facts About the POcahOntaS HOrfOf.
The account Of the explosion in the
Pocahontas coal mine, in Southwest VIZ
ginia, by which between one hundred and
one hundred and fifty human beings lost
their lives, is still fresh in the public
mind. One hundred and eight bodies have
thus far been taken out of the mine, but
it will never be known exactly how many
were killed. because many of those in the
mine were burned to ashes. A statement
recently made by the manager of the
mine leaves little if any doubt that the
disaster was caused by the greed and
criminal carelessness of the owners of
tue mine. 1t seems that the
men were inexperienced and totally unfit
for the work required Of them. They
knew nothing about blasting. and the way
they handled the blasting material con-
stantly endangered the lives of all in the
mine. The mine was not properly Ventl-
lated. 1t was full of fire damp and bad
air, and for a long time before the eXplo-
sion occurred it was an extremely dam
gerous place. The Superintendent, ac-
cordIng to the managers story, knew that
the miners We're incompetent, and was
well informed respecting the condition OF
the air i'm the mine. He said, how
ever. that the mine must be run
with cheap labor even if only
Hungarians and negroes were en-
pl0yed The expense Of improving the
air Of the mine, doubtless, was the reason
that no Improvement was made.
Is it not true that all over the country
there.are great companies and corporations
that are careless Of human life: They
are not only careless of the
| lives Of those employed by them, but also
Of the lives Of those who patronize them.
[ They appear to hold human life very
| cheap. In order to save few dollars
/ they employ men whose services can be
/ had for almost nothing, and who are al
| most always incompetent. Not very long
/ ago one train ran into another in a tunnel
on the Harlem road just outside OF New
/ York, and many men, women and chill
/ dren We're killed and wounded. 1t was
/ shown that the rich Vanderbilt manage
ment had required a boy to do the work
/ Of an experienced man because he could
/ be obtained for wages barely sufficient TO
keep body and soul together, and that this
/ boy had caused the accident. This is
only one Of many similar instances. 1t is
alleged that the investigation that was
made into the Pocahontas mine disaster
was not thorough, and the report was in
! tended TO hide the truth. 1t is gratifying
I that the facts are at last coming to light.
+ If what is alleged is true, the company is
/ guilty of a grave crime. 1t deserves the
/ harshest censure, and if the individual
/ members Of it can be reached by law they
I ought to be made to suffer the laws PEN
alties. The excuse that the company did
not know what wrongs were being COM
mitted at the mine ought not to be ac-
cepted. 1t ought ohave known, because
/ it had the means of knowing. The
truth, doubtless, is that it cared little
whether the tOilers who served it for
+ starvation wages were miserable or hap
/ by. or whether they lived or died, so long
as it received good dividends on its in

insignificant Petty Larceny.

When the future historian comes to write
the story of these times he may find it neces-
sary from a stern regard to truth to admit
that Mr.. Blaine may have had a sunstroke on
a certain occasion without sufficient reason
or prOvOcatiOn, and with regret he may fee
compelled to add that there was a charge OF
larceny against him in connection with Ger
tam epistOlary documents, known in the Ian
guage of the period as the 'Mulligan letters:
but up to the present time no one can accuse
Mr.. Blaine of having stolen the Presidency,
no matter what he may have wanted to do
This cannot be said of all members of his
party, many prominent leaders of which, il
has been charged. were heartily identified
with political grand larceny perpetrated
some eight years ago, compared with which
the petty larceny of the Mulligan letters sinks
into insiCnificanCe.

New Orleans Election Frauds.

The Pjcdyupe, the organ Of the citizens
ticket in the late municipal election in
New Orleans, continues to cry out against
the alleged great fraud that was commit
ted, at the election in question, by the city
ring. In its Sunday issue it says: "This
great wrong must and Will he undOne-
the right rewarded and the guilty pun
ished. Can our city, can Louisiana, al
low 50 foul a blot to rest upon its good
name as this great wrong, this outrage
upon the rights of its citizens, who are
laughed at as the victims Of a huge po-
htical Joke, perpetrated by professional
experts: Are the most sacred rights Of
the people to be thus made the playthings
of these men?'
The PtcdyUHe is only wasting its valu-
able space by printing this sort Of stuff.
There isn't anybody going to resent the
'Egreat wrong" and outrage of which
the Picdyune speaks so eloquently. The
fellows who We're declared elected have
got their offices, and they will retain
them. 1t would be interesting to know
how many columns Of just such stuff as
the PjcdyuBe is now printing has been
written in condemnation of election
frauds in Louisiana. The crowd that
has the ballot-boXes nearly always
wins, and the beaten party always
yell themselves hOarse about frauds.
But nobody does anything to cor
rect the Outrages on the ballot box.
A lot of the 'bOys" were before the
Courts little more than a
year ago for ballot-boX stufiing and other
kinds of election frauds, and eminent and
respectable citizens, who now belong to
the PicdyuRe'S faction, spoke from
the jury box and said they
should not be punished. When
the people of New Orleans have backbone
enough to sit down emphatically on the
ballot-box suffers, there will be no occa-
sion for this periodical howl about fraud.
Before the PlcGyune'S faction can hope to
win, it must get control of the ballot
boxes,
