Reciprocal Influence Of Sense
Organs.

Some interesting experiments on
the reciprocal influence of organs Of
sense have been recently made by
Herr Urbanschitsch. of Vienna His
general conclusion is. says Nature,
that any sense excitation has for re-
suit an increase of the acuteness of
other senses Thus, sensations Of
hearing sharpen the visual percep.
tions. If colored plates are placed at
such a distance that one can hardly
distinguish the colors. and various
sounds are then produced, the colors
become generally more distinct the
higher the sounds. Similarly. one
can, while sound affects the ear,
read words which one could not read
before. Again. the ticking of
watch is better heard when the eyes
are open than when they are closed.
Red and green increase suditive per
ceptions; but blue and yellow weaken
them. Several musicians, however,
were agreed that red, green. yellow
and blue caused an intepsifcation of
sound about one eight; while violet
had a weakening effect Taste. smell
and touch are under like laws. Light
and red and green color, increase
their delicacv; while darkness, blue
and yellow diminish it. Under the
influence of red and green. taste ex-
tends from the anterior border OF the
tongue to the whole surface On
the other hand, a strengthening Of
smell, taste. or touch exslts the other
sensitive perceptions. Specially in
teresting is ths reciprocal influence Of
touch and the sense of temperature
If one tickle the skin with hair, aud
plunge the hand in hot water, the
tickling sensation ceases; on the con-
trary, if the hand be placed in cold
water. aud part OF the body tickeled.
the temperature ia felt more vividly
Herr Urbanschitsch finds 10 this re.
ciprocal actinn an explanation OF sup
posed double consecutive sensations
on excitatiOn Of one sense.

Remarkable Army Story.
Cover nv defenseless head,
With the shadow of thy wingn

| 'Cover NV defeDseless head,
With the shadow of thy wing"
A party of Northern tourists form.
ed part of large company gathered
on the deck Of an excursion steamer
that was moving slowly down the
historic Potomac one beautiful even-
ing in the Summer of 1881.
A gentlemen who has since gained
! national reputation as an evangelist
of song had been delighting the party
with the happy rendering of many
familiar hymns. the last being the
sweet petition 80 dear to every
Christian, Jesus, lover Of my soul"
The singer gaye the first two verses
with much feeling and peculiar EN-.
phasis upon the concluding lines that
thrilled every heart A hush had
fallen on the listeners that was not
broken for some seconds after the
musical notes hGd died away. Then
O gentleman made his way from tho
outskirts of the crowd to the side of
the singer and sccosted him with:
BEG your pardon, stranger, but
were you actively engaged in the
war ?"
Yes, sir" the man Of song an.
swered couIteously. ~ fought under
General Grant"
WELL" the first speaker continued
with something of sigh, II did nv
fighting on the other side and think,
indeed am quite sure,I was very near
you one bright night eighteen years
ago this very month. It was much
such night as this, If I am not
very much mistaken you were on
guard duty.
We of the South had sharp busi-
ness on hand and you were one of
the enemy. I c;ept near your post Of
duty. my murderous weapon in my
hand; the shadow hid me. AS you
paced back and forth you were hum.
ming the tune ofths hymn you have
just sung. l raised my gun and aim.
ed at your heart. and I had been se-
lected by our commander for the
work because l was sure shot.
Then upon the night rang the words.
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow Of thy wing"
"Your prayer was answered. r.
couldn't fire after that. And there
was no attack made upon your camp
that night. You were the man whose
life | was spared from taking"
The singer grssped the hand of the
Southerner and said with much emo
ton:
IL remember the night very well
aud distinctly the feeling of depres-
sion and loneliness with which I
went forth to my duty. l knew my
post was one of great danger, and 1
was more detected than / remember
to have been at any other time dur
ing the service. l paced my lonely
beat, thinking of home and friends
and oil that life holds dear. The
thought of Gods care for all that be
has created came to me with peculiar
force. If he cared for the sparrows,
how much moro for man created in
his own image; and I sang the prayer
of my heart, and ceased to feel alone.
How the prayer was answered l
never knew until this evening. My
Heavenly Father thought best to keep
the knowledge from me for eighteen
years. How much of His goodness
to US we shall be ignorant of until it
is revealed by the light of eternity
Jesus. Lover Of my soul has been a
favorite hymn; now it will be inex-
pressibly dear"

Life in the Oil Regions.

true for when Uncle Jimmy died he
was supposed to be worth million or
two, but it was found that the most
OF his estate was req uired to paw
other peoples debts. Col. A. /.
Wilcox. the good natured president
of the Bradford Board of Trade, used
to be troubled himself with too much
of this same milk of human kindness.
So did Philo Eckley. burgess of Tar
port. When Tarport was o bigger
town than Bradford and the oil ex.
change WAS over there Col. Wilcox
had an Office in the exchange build
ing. One day tall. la nix country
man, with burrs in his hair, came
into the colonel's flee and said to
him:
BE you the public indorser:?"
The colonel smelt a mouse, but in
order to get the game in sight asked
the countryman what it was he re-
quired.

said if could get the public indorser

"Well." said the colonel, Il was
public indorser last year, but this
year | was defeated by only seven
votes. Philo Eckley, just around the
corner, is public indorser now. and
you will have to see him."
So the countryman carried his pa
per around to Mr.. Eckley's shop.
"Yes, Col. Wilcox is right" said
Mr.. Eckley. Il was elected public

pie.
"Hold on there, cap" interrupted
the country man, "Col. Wilcox told
me that you only beat him by seven

Quoting Poetry.

! The next time the Hon Samuel S
I Cox undertakes to quote an ancient
New England canticle be will make
an attempt TO get il as near in ac-
cordance with the original as posi-.
! BILE
There are TOO many literary gen.
| tlemen in that section of the country
jealous of the honor of their hymns to
allow them to be misquoted with i'm
punity in the halls of Congress, even
by so distinguished quoter as "SuD
set." late Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentisry of the L. s
to the Sublime Porte, aud now mem
Der Of the House of Representatives
for the Ninth district Of the State of
New York.
The quotation alluded to was re-
cited in the course of discussion OF
the Fish Commissions Salary ques.
tion in the lower House A great
deal of illfeeling had been engender-
ed By the remarks of several of the
honorable gentlemen, when
Mr.. Cox arose and threw oil on the
troubled water by little speech ia
which be quoted this stanza:
aye monsters of the bubbling deep,
Your Makers name uprase;
Up from the sands We codlngs peep,
And wag your tails always"
The quotation was not accurate,
but none Of Me- Cox's auditors were
aware OF the defect Although not
written rs a humorous poem, hut
rather as solemn hymn for public
worship, the congressman regarded
it as verv funny, and its quotation
had the effect of relaxing the tension
on the salary question.
When the speech was quoted in
the papers the correctness of the stan.
IA was challenged, an influential
Philadelphia pa per declaring that the
verse Mr. Cox intended to recite was
this:
"fe monsters of the briny deep,
Your Makers praises shout:
Up from the deep ys coddlings peep,
Aud wag your tails about
BY this time Connecticut paper.
the Hartford Courant, recognized as
an authority on New England psal-
mody, took part in the discus
sion, and sat down alike on Mr.. Cox
and his Philadelphia corrector. The
Congressman, says the Courant,
'mangled" the lines, aud its Phila.
delphla contemporary falls short of
accuracy" After searching for the
verse in an ancient psalm-book, the
Courant quotes it as follows, explain
ing carefully that in the original the
word 1.-The" is contracted 10 9TH" and
your" to "yr" after tue abbreviating
style affected by the Pilgrims and
their immediate descendants. The |
capitalization of the original is rigor-
ossly followed:
''Ie Monsters of the briny Deep.
Your Makers Praises spout;
Up from the Sands ye Codlings peep,
And wag your Tails about"
1t is subject for deep tbankfulness
that this vital point is settled. It is |
to be hoped that the Fish Commiss-
ion did not suspend its work while
the subject was under discussion. If
it did, though. it should resume op.
eratIons az once. and paste the revised |
edition of Mr. Cox's quotation on its
bait bottle Pills. Telegraph.

THE BRIBERY CHARGES.

The Legislative committee APP
pointed to investigate the bribery
charges have reported to the House.
Their recommendations may be
found in the Legislative proceedings
column. The committee have had
but short time in which to investi-
gate, but have made the most of it,
holding sessions late into the night.
Four persons have been found guilty
of having received money as re-
ward for their votes on the Consti-
tutional Amendment bill, relating TO
the Chinese. A majority of the COM
mittee recommend that two of these
be expelled from the House, and
that the other two, whose guilt is
considered to be extenuated by cir
cumstances, be merely reprimanded
and allowed to retain their seats. A
minority of the committee think diff
ferently in regard to the punishment.
They would punish every guilty
member by expulsion.
Willie it must in candor be ad.
mitted that the circumstances cited
by the majority are extenuating,
we agree with the minority, that
every guilty member, regardless OF
circumstances" should be expell.
ed from the House. The surest way
to prevent a recurrence of the same
thing in future, is to visit the pre-
sent offence with severity.
