The Mystery of Memory.

| Colaridge dared to maintain that we de
| not really forget; that thoughts and events
only seem to be lost from recollection
and that if the intellect were quickened {
/ little the whole past existence would be
brought to view again. In illustration, be
gives at length the story of the ignorant
servant girl who repeated whole psalms in
the original Hebrew when deranged, OF
which she could not recall a word in her
sane moments. She seems to have learned
them from an eccentric minister's repeat
ing them aloud as he paced the kitchen
floor. De Quincy tells little better than
many others of a drowning friend reyiving
his whole experience at the seeming APP
preach Of death, with the intimation that
undersimilar excitement this would be the
experience of nearly all men, showing that

beau ideal of achief executive. l will call
him Boyd. Playing about the office was
his nephew. a boy 10 or 70 years of age,
his namesake to whom he was greatly at
tached. The boy ran my errands attended
me on repertorial-why not reporterial?-
duties, and wound himself about my heart
| as vine clasps some Sturdier growth.
Time wore on.
| The developments of the war induced the
uncle to leave journalism and to enter a
| field of governmental labor which babe fair

time very profitable, though ultimately
ruined when the cabinet officer, in whose

Guided it would be better to engraft the
service upon the government itself Down
to this time the nephew, whom we will call
Aleck Boyd, had done nothing except run
errands and play about the Office, being
supported entirely by his uncle. A change
now occurred. MI. Boyd was in trouble
and pecuniary distress. The action of the
government embarrassed his company and
young Aleck was told he must look out for
| himself.
Naturally he turned to reporting.
He was tall, handsome, 10, with big
blue eyes, great physical strength, but not
much mental activity. full of life and push
and go in everything except work. He
was very fond of the girls and developed
into quite beau. 1 put him in the post
office, but he was too lazy and left. put
him in the fire department. but the work
didn't suit him and he left. Igot him a
clerkship, but he was careless and 1natten-
tive and left. Always an indulger to an
extent in intoxicating liquors myself, I
failed to notice the early beginning of Aleck
in that line, and being very busy and hard
at work getting or writing news, I con-
tented myself by greeting him pleasantly
whenever saw him. giving him good adj
thing to do, until one day he staggered
half-seas over into my room.

Hysterical Nervousness.

No more striking proof of the wide
extent of hysterical emotion has been
recently presented than in the amusing
story from New York last week telling
of the enforced closing of a cigarette
factory in Brooklyn yesterday caused
by the sympathetic hysteria Of the girls
employed in the factory.
One of the girls was seized with a
fainting fit, whereupOn her companions
Immediately proceed to follow her ex-

factory was covered by nearly hun

proprietor had to turn them out and
close his factory.
Such morbid actions as those of the
New York cigarette girls are too fire.
quent in this country. They show the
result of the stimulus and friction upon
sensitive organization caused by the ex-
citing conditions of American life. In
this special case probably the material
in which the women wOrked-tObaccO
had an undue action upon the health
of the women; but whatever the cause
may be the results are the same, the
exhibition of the power of hysterical
sympathy over physical conditions,
and such cases show how important it
is that Americans, whose national
nervousness already is excessive, and
to an eXteut not known in other civil
lied nations, should carefully guard
their unstable health.

Religious Excitement.

Religious excitement among the col
ored people of Savannah, Ga, since the
earthquake has been something re-
markable. Revivals have been in pro-
gress nightly at the Baptist churches,
and converts have averaged fifty every
service. Sunday last over three hun
dred were baptized in the Ogeechee
canal, near the city, and the entire col
ored population was out. Next Sun
day another baptizing will take place
OF four hundred negroes. A majority
OF the converts are women. They are
thoroughly impressed with the belief
that the end of the world is nearing,
and that dOomsday will fall on the 29th
according to the predictions of an old
colored woman, who, thought to be
dead, recovered from a trance, and an
nounced the date of the worlds disso-
luton. This prediction, coming after
the earthquake, completely stupefies
the colored population.
