Loss of Memory.

Sick persons have been known to lose
all remembrance Of what has happened
to them during their sickness, and
sometimes, stranger still, of the period
Immediately preceding their sickness,
while easily recalling what went before
and followed after. The brain plays odd
Tricks with us at times, especially when
it has been subjected to sudden shock
and scientific men who think that its
various commissions are the seats ofvari-
Gus faculties OF the mind, derive some
confirmation Of their theory from the
fact that the power Of memory may fail
in part without being altogether
impaired. A notable instance
of this last mentioned ne
culiarity occurred about a dozen wears
ago. 4 lad in the country was accused
Of throwing another into pond, and he
was put O.l his trla, before q bench of
magistrates. His elder brother, who
bore high character in the village both
for conduct and for mental shrewdues,
had seen the previous struggle between
the lads, and he was called upon to give
evidence. He declared his belief that
the fight was perfectly fair throughout
and that the immersion in the pond was
an accident Questioned as to what took
place aiterWard, ne could not speak to a
single circumstance. "Did the prisoner
attempt TO rescue the deceased?" the
chairman asked him. He could not say.

WASH JONES, alias tho "slippery elm
statesman" has uncovered himself and
is now before the people in his true
cOlors. His speeches at San Antonio and
Austin were under the auspices and by
invitation Of the BLAINE and LoGAN
clubs at the two places. His escort at
both places was dusky phalanx Of de-
uded colored people, who catch on to
his jury reform scheme. lIo was intro
duced by DEGREES and NRwCoMBE, than
whom no two men in Texas, stink more
in the nostrils Of the good people. This
is what WASH calls separating national
and state politics. Does he expect the
vote Of decent Greenbacker or Demo-
crat or Of any Republican who loves his
state?

SEVERAL papers in the state give as q
reason for the heavy receipts of cotton
in this city that the railroads discrimi-
nate in favor Of Dallas in freight tariffs.
This Is mistake and should be cor
rected. The products Of any country
will naturally seek a market in that city
which is acknowledged to be the trade
centre Of the section in which they arc
produced. Dallas has no rival in North
Texas as q commercial city and business
ceutre, and i. is to be expected that the
highest prices will be- paid here for all
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, and that all goods,
wares and merchandise will be sold Ia
this city at the lowest possible prices.
The great prosperity Of Dallas is owing
alone 70 the enterprise. liberality and
public spirit shown by her business
men, and she is indebted to no outside
influences for the Immense and iucroas
NJ business which she enjoys.
