MANS and Woman's Brains.


1t is difficult from established facts
to avoid the conclusion that the mind
must be different in the two sexes-not
necessarily that one is superior to the
other, but that they are different. In
some respects that of man excels, in
other respects that of woman predomi-
mates. 1t would be bad state of af-
fairs for mankind if the mind in the
two primary divisions of the human
race were the same. In barbarous ma
tions, as we have seen, the difference
in size is less than with civilized peoples.
and as one consequence of this fact we
lind that there is not so great differ
ence in the mental development. The
work OF woman with these is almost
the same as that of man. Her mode
OF life, her dress, are not essentially
different, except in so far as thoy must
be different on account of her sex. But
with civilized nations there is variety in
modes of thought and other mental
characteristics, in occupation, in man
ner, in dress, so that the differentiation
between the sexes is far more distinctly
marked than it is in the nations low in
the scale of progress. Who can doubt
that this is the direct result of differ
ence, not only in the brain. but in other
parts of the nervous systemp 1t APP
pears to me, therefore, that while the
education of woman should be Just
IS thorough as that of a man, it ought
aot to be the same. The two sects
move along paths that approach par
lllelism at some points in their course.

III GEN. DoDaE, in his recent visit to
Texas, was sincere in his interview with
the HERALD, to make some arrange
ments to build the Denton and Decatur
branch OF the road, why did he not
make some proposition to the citizens
of Dallas. If his idea was to "scare',
Fort Worth into contributing largely
for the extension Of the road, it is to be
hoped his scheme will prove failure.
Fair, plain sailing and honest dealing is
what the people want, not interviews
that will bring the parties interested,
money. Let GEN. DODGE, or the agents
Of the road, make fair, open PROPOSE
ton, and the citizens of Dallas will con.
slider it. The citizens OF Dallas do not
want to lend themselves to fraud &c
induce the good people of Fort Worth
to subscribe money tor railroad scheme
to benefit corporation.

ENeLANp,s HUMILIATION.

The defeat of the English is signal and
signifies the dissolution of the British
cabinet. GLADSTONE goes by the board
In his old age. The gallant army has
been sacrificed TO foolish idea. The
question has already been asked, why
was the Nile route taken, when short
ten-days' march across the desert,
which lady tourists often take,
would have sufliced. A gallant
little army has been sacrificed
to barbarian mercy; penurious nation
has illustrated the penny wise and
pound foolish policy and the inevitable
destruction OF nearly the entire Arabic
race decreed; for England will now put
forth her energies and destroy MAHpr
and his followers. Wheat will 20 up
saws America, and in just the Same cool
spirit win England send her great
transports OF troops TO wipe out from
the face Of the earth the savages who
have triumphed over her arms. The
HERALD would like to know that Con-
DON was safe.

In the joint discussion between the
representative wageworkers and the
Socialists, at Chicago the other day, the
wageworkers contended that the condi-
zion of the laboring man had been con.
stantly improving, while the Socialists
denied the assertion, and attempted TO
sustain their denial. If these sore
headed Socialists would mind their own
business and let the working people
rely upon their own intelligence and
experience, the country at large woul,.
be benefited. 1t Is this vicious inter.
meddling with the affairs of others and
the evil design of producing a state of
dissatisfaction with their lot in life that
produces the outbreaks, so frequent OF
late, and which always result to the dis.
advantage of those who are persuaded
TO indulge in violent demonstration

LONDON, Feb. 5.-The mysterious
prisoner arrested Tuesday evening in
White Chapel with Cunningham's miss
ing brown box in his possession,
WAS to day arraigned i'm the Bow street
police court and was formally charged
with completely in causing the ex-
plosion at the tower. Theprisoner gave
the name of Harry Burton, and said he
was 70 years OF age, and by occupation
a cabinet maker. He is 8 feet o Inches
tall, offai complexion, slender figure,
wears a light mustache and
beard and looks like an Ameri-
can. When taken into court
Burton presented haggard appearance
and seemed keenly alive to his unfor-
tunate position. The examination was
briefly confined to taking the prisoners
statement concerning his identity and
regarding the charge against him
and was then hurried back
to Clerkenwell prison, after being form.
ally remanded for further hearing.
THE POLICE SAY
they have no doubt but Burton was
CunninghSm's a.compllce in causing
the tower explosion. His arrest was
accomplished through the aid of the
cabman who removed Cunningham's
"brown trunk" from his Prescott street
lodgings. 1t will be remembered Gun.
ningham told his Prescott street land,
lady that the brown trunk belonged to
a friend, who might call for it. The 20.
lice assert their ability TO prove
that this friend was Burton.
The police explain their conduct
in refusing to let II be known that they
would arraign Burton by saving they
| wished to avoid crowd along the way
between Clerkenwell prison and tn,
Bow street court,and lessen the chance,
of rescue. There is no doubt that

police used greatest precautions for sal,
custody of prisoners, and II was eviden
that the fury OF the crowd made Burton
nervous. He could hardly speak. A
no time during the examination was h
able to speak without faltering.
IMPORTANT CONFERENCE
An important conference was he'll,
this afternoon of officials of the police, o
the treasury and of the home depart
ments, and the inspector OF Scetlan,

IN relation to the recent dynamit
crimes, and that another important ar
rest Is imminent.
DEsCRlP ZION OF BURTON.
IL was difficult to obtain close an,
accurate description OF Burton durin
his brief presence In Bow street polio
court to-day, owing to his restlessnes
and his efforts TO avoid scrutiny. Iii
hat was a tall felt, and he wore blacl
coat. His appearance is dis

THE ATTACHMENT LAW.

The legislature should be acquainted
with the extreme desire of all creditors
and honest debtors in the state for a
change of the attachment laws. Mr..
TAYLoR's bill provides measurably for
u general insolvent law, and prevents
collision between dishonest, or sup
posititious creditors, and bad men,
who put themselves in their hands for
the purpose Of mutual fraud and profit.
1t will probably deter attachments,
but that would be better than to have
the present disgraceful scramble. 1t
would be better to allow the debtor to
plead in abate nent, but upon review OF
the bill 1t occurs to the HERALD that the
bill of Mr.. TAYLOR would, in srea,
degree, do away with tho necessity Of
authorizing such q plea. Aud above al
