Aiding Its COMPREHENSION.

Our esteemed contemporary the Hazle-
ton Plain Speaker "fails to comprehend the
motive which prompts some of our ex-
changes 1.-THE INTELLIGENCERam among them1
to- condemn the temperance instruction
bill at this late day. The measure has be-
come law, and the question before the
people relates to its energetic enforcement
and nothing else."
This is a false and mistaken view. When
an obnoxious law has been fastened upon a
needless constituency by complaisant
legislature, the proper thing to do is to ex.
pose its Character and agitate its repeal
1t has become the custom for the Penn
sylvanla legislature, Of late years, to ne-
glect and obstruct really useful and neces.
sary legislation, which is its sworn consti-
tutional duty to enact, and pass all kinds
Of absurd bills because silly-billy clamor
y raised in their behalf, and no one raises
= voice against them.
Many of the charity" appropriations,
like the Buttermore swindle, are of this
sort; and great many empirical and
qusck statutes have encountered the law
books simply because the men who passed
them wanted TO get rid of the Importantly
OF those pressing them.
The temperance-instructio " bill was
Of this Kind. OF the members who passed
II good many made it as obnoxious and
impractlcable as possible, in the hope of OBJ
structing its enforcement.

OUR old friend and townsman, DIR. William

fame by his Investigation into the mysteries
OF mesmerism, or statuvolence, as he has
named the condition, writes from his planta-
ton In South Carolina to a friend in this city,
that he has had advices from Vienna, Aus.
tria, that the physicians and surgeons of that
Hty have formed Fahnestock or Fahnes-
stockian society upon the statuvolic
principle for the cure of diseases and
the relief of human suffering. There
can be no doubt upon the part of those who
have observed tho effect that is produced
upon the body through the mind, that there
is very valuable aid afforded to the
physician, in the results that are attained by
the science of fstatuvolence which is nothing
more than method of bringing the will
power into use in controlling the body. Tho
body OF the patient in whole or in part is re-
onced TO state of insensibility under the
influence OF his physician and it will not
readily be disputed that such power of con-
troll over the body should be a great aid to
the physician. DIR. Fahnestock stands at the
head OF the Investigators into this science. He
has studied 1t all his life, and many wears apo

strated by other professors of the art who
have followed in his footsteps, but who too
often have only sought profit out OF the
exhibition of the wonders, instead of being
animated in their pursuit by a spirit Of
philanthropy and an ambition for searching
out the truth, such as alone has inspired the
lifelong labors of DIR. Fahnestock In this
great field.

nalneee of ~ Houss has allowed such :
prepcsterous and absurd bill to get upon its
calendar.
OF course 1t would be of no possible con-
cern II such a bill passed. 1t would be
clearly unconstitutional and of no effect.
Happily, section VII of the Bill OF Rights
declares that the printing press shall be
free to every person who undertake to ex-
anime the proceedings of the legislature, or
any branch of government, and no law
- 4 be made TO restrain the right thereof.
The free communication Of thoughts and
opinions is one Of the invaluable rights of
man, and every citizen may freely speak,
write, and print on any subject, being
responsible for the use of that liberty"
In view.of this it is not to be wondered
that Romig introduced the bill, for
obviously he is one of the kind of creatures
who neither has sense enough to know
what is in the constitution he has sworn to
support, nor enough patiotism to respect
1t but it is lamentable that there should
have been any lawyer on the judiciary com.
mittee who would let this bill pass it un'
challenged.
If there are dozen members of the
House who will stand up and vote fol
Romig's bill they ought to be painted, have
feathers stuck in their heads and then bt
auctioned off for cigar store signs.

Few new books by new authors have had
themselves so well-talked about as Mr.. II. F.
Keenan's novel, "Trajan." And il il Is a
fortune for work of its kind to call out all
kinds Of criticism its luck has been abundant,
and promises to continue. The English re-
viewers have taken it up recently and of
course its radical sentiments do not suit
them. The academy says that it is reada-
bic II one skips all the silly, affected conver-
sations which we are told kept up the tonic
quality of the life OF the chateau Tho re-
manning half of the book reminds us little

reading 1t is obvious that the au-

is no doubt Why shouldn't he I? The truth
is that Mr.. Keenan, wrote sstriking, fresh and
strong book. 1t Is objected that he deals more
largely and succeeds better with description
than with analysis Of character, but this is no
great fault, and is what might have been
expected from trained journalist of large
experience as correspondent At least one
of his characters, "Theo," is original, enter
tanning and strongly drawn; and many OF
the scenes of terror during the eventful days
OF the Commune rank with the best of that
kind of writing. The book has met with
