Indians and the Telegraph.

From the P1ttsburg Dispatch.
friend OF mine in far western city writes to
me that he had visit from some Indians in the
telegraph office in which he works the other day.
The photographers tried hard to make the Apache
brain grasp the extraordinary attributes OF the
electric fluid, but OF course with very little sue
cess. The Indians did not enthuSe a bit when
they were told that some white men living in a
town 100 miles away had sent their compliments
to the Indian chiefs. They imagined that it was
all a fabrication OF the deceitful white man.
In fact, they would have departed with poor
opinion or the invention OF Morse and all the OF ner
claimants thereof had not somebody proposed TO
give them a galvanic shock. This utterly puzzled
and at the same time delighted the Indians, who
grasped the wire and shouted like schoolboys
when the current made them Jingle from head TO
foot.
But, after all, they were really more impressed
by some big rubber bands which one OF their mum.
Der found on desk than by anything else. They
appeared to never tire OF ties ing the elasticity Of
these bands, driving them out and letting them
fly back with jerk; and when they departed
each red-sklnned warrior carried away box OF
them.

SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE SYMPTOMS OF MENTAL
FATIGUE.
From the London Lancet
Some interesting though not novel observations
on the symptoms Of mental fatigue were disclosed
at a recent meeting OF the AnthrOpoOgical Society,"
The result Of these Investigations goes to prove
that WEAKNESS OF mind, the result OF work, like
other forms Of exhaustion, is recognizable under
the two different though related aspects Of irrita-
bility and fncapacity. Further careful inquiry
into the same subject would probably show that
here as elsewhere, the former OF these conditions
Is Introductory TO the latter, and is the natural
sequel of that ,ge OF apparently successful over
