The Power Of Memory.

Most wonderful is the number OF
romembrances to be found in every
human mind, their variety and correct
ness; their removal from consciousness
when they are not wanted, aad their re-
turn again and again when they are
wanted; the facility with which they are
recalled, and their opportunate recur-
renee when they are sought for. We
need not look to extraordinary in
stances; the memory of every child,
duly considered, is astonishing. Some
thousands of objects are remembered;
persons, with their names and charac-
ters; events, with their times and places;
things, with their various qualities;
words, with their proper Specification.
These are remembered after months
and years; they are brought back with
little effort and often come of them
selves just as needed. The remem-
ORANGES of most persons go back to the
years and lessons of childhood, and in
clude what has been witnessed in many
hundred scenes, heard from many
hundred persons, read in many hundred
books. Much is forgotten, but much is
remembered; and more might be re-
membered, and recalled more readily
and correctly, if the laws Of memory
were promptly known and used.
The power of memory is increased
by exercise. 1t is generally stronger in
youth than in old age. There is much
difference in the beginning of life in
natural ability, some remembering
everything more easily than others.
The three most desirable qualities Of
memory are - faculty, retentiveness
and readiness; and all these are i'm
proved by practice. The first and Sec
ond depend much on the attention given
to what is to be remembered; the third
on the number, variety and arrange
ment of the associations by which it
NAV be recalled. There are minds on
which most impressions are so slight
that they are soon forgotten. Others
who have learned and retained much,
do not remember things at the right
time. Few have memories SO quick,
retentive and ready as not to need
some special culture, and there are
none whose memories may not be inn
proved by attending to what is most
aid recollection. Artificial memory is
the use of arbitrary arrangements to
aid in recalling dates, words and facts
which have no natural connection.
They are found easily, when distributed
in various localities on page or avail.
Such connections are occasionally OF
use for time; but natural connections
are more lasting, and are on every ac-
count to be preferred when attainable.
There seem to be some varieties OF
memories special aptitude for re
membering words, or numbers, or facts.
or arguments. or voices, or faces.
There is some difference in natural per-
ceptibility; but most of the differences
in memory are to be attributed to the
degree Of attention giSen to various OBJ
jects. and to habits of observing and
thinking. Prof. GodWin.

A Remarkable Young Lady.

Young Frenchwomen evidently do

glish and American sisters in the matter
Of academic caps and gowns. We have
to record the brillisnt success Of q
young yendesn lady (Mlle. Benoit) in
the recent examination at the Sorbonne
for the Baccalaureat-es-let one Of
three sisters who have all distinguished
themselves. Mile. Gabrielle was lately
made '.bacheliere es lettres ct es sci
ences," while Mile. Victorine, the eldest
of the three last year received her
degree of M. D., her thesis on that 0c-
casion being generally regarded az re-
markable. The aforementioned lady is
. notable example of the indomitabla
energy and courage OF French women.
While pursuing her medical studies at
the Sorbonne she not only maintained
herself by giving lessons, but also con-
tributed to the education of her.youngos,
sister. It is to be hoped that such
qualities rs these will meet the en-
enlargement they deserve. Pail Nal

DITTMAN IN TROUBLE.
Arrested Tor Selling a Piece Of Prop
erty with a Mortgage UpOn 1t.

Charles NJ. Dittman was arrested at a late hour
Hewitt the charge Of obtaining $1,000 under
false pretences. The charge grew ont OF real
estate transaction consummated about year
ago, which resulted in the transfer of lot ad
Joining the dwelling of Mrs. Hewitt on Oak
street. The lot was valued at 81 800 and it was
sold at this figure to Mrs. Hewitt, subject, it is
claimed, to a mortgage Of $1,000. The warrant
was sold by false representations.
Mr. Dittman was seen by GLOBE reporter
late last night, and in reply to inquiries he said
that he had sold Mrs Hewitt lot on Oak street
for $1,000; in payment he received the full
amount, but he claims that at the time Of the
sale he called the attention of Hr, Horton, attor
ney for Mrs. Hewitt, to the
Mrs. Hewitt, he states, was very anxious to Sc
cure the property, especially as it adjoned her
estate, and it agreed that Mr.. Dittman should
give bond to period Of ten months dur
ing which time he was to lift the incumbrance
Outstanding the bond was given, with Abe.
Schcffer and j. C. Bettingen as
suretits. Dittman further claims that
the bondwas intended to cover the mortgage and
all defects in the title. Also that he has recently
got clear title to the property but that as yet
he has not been able to lift the mortgage.
10 effort was made to secure bail for the pris-
Gner last night, owing TO the late hour at which
he arrested and as he had Just returned
from the country he requested that his wife be
not info rmed of his arrest.
