Peculiar Affections Caused by cvgrworfE-
ing the Mental Faculties.
a recent nie2isat journal gives the re-
port of a case of singulav loss of memory
in a young girl residing in New York. Sit
ting in her own room one day she took up q
paCk5g5 Of letters which she intended to
answer, and Was amazed to find that she
could not remember the Ramss or appear
ance of any of the writers, all Of whom
were her own personal friends. She was
calm and sane, except upon thisanpe point !;
her Een5rysqf persons seemed 70 be sud
denly and wholly obliterated. She hastily
descended to the room where the family
was gathered for dinner, and found that
she could not feme fnBer single name or
face, except that of her mother. Her faith
er, sisters and brothers appeared TO her as
stfaneers, nor was it possible TO recall
them to her The faculty of memory Of
persons appeared to be paralyzed4 1t was
found by the physicians that this singular
effect was produced by the lodgment of =
slot of blood upon a certain part of the
brain.
Another we'll known mental disorder,
which produces forgetfulness OF words,
results from abnormal pressure, or soften
ing, in another part of the brain. The pa
tieut frequently takes one word, such as
Yes or water" and repeats it thou
sand times, imagining that he is convers-
ing with flueney and ease.
Our object in citing these painful cases
is to remind our young readers OF fact
which they are apt to forget; that the
brain is a physical organ as much as the
eye or hand, and like them, can be, if they
choose, oyerworked, damaged and wounded
to the death. The lad at school would be
regarded IS fool or mailman il he should,
every day, cut a tendon OF his arm or in
ject q poisonous fluid into his eye until
the strength of one and the sight Of tho
other should be destroyed. Yet his daily
cigarette and tipple of wine and whisky
are acting slowly and surely upon the
tissues of the brain, paralyzing and Grip
ping his mental strength.
This warning may seem needless plati-
tude to adult readers, but there are many
young people who forget, or who do not
know, that the vigor of intellectual life de-
ends upon physical as well spiritual
conditions. The mind of each human being
is captive in his body; he can, if he will,
by drinking, by overeat ng, or by debauch-
cry, blind and cripple it, as did the Phflis-
tines their prisoner Samson. Or he can
train and use the functions of his body as
its slaves and tools, and so make of it .

Sometimes one has cane-seat chairs. the

method: Remove the old seat, cleaning out
all the holes, and if the frames requirs
painting or vanishing, do it now. Get
some Irvine lido not know the name Lut
1T is the same as florists and seedsmen use
in tying parcels for shpment about the

five cents, will usually reseat three
chairs. With a darning needle threaded
with a short piece of common Irvine, and

iourned yesterday. Forty chancery de-
crees and fifteen common-law orders
we're entered. Judge Hancock, III the
suit of Turner, guardian, as. Turner and
others. ordered the sale OF the Copper
houk Springs. situated in this county
about fifteen miles from the Courthouse.
These springs some years prior to the
war were in active operation, and
the sick from various sections OF the
State came here to derive benefit from
the virtues of the mineral waters. 1t is
claimed that the use OF this water will
cure the worst cases of malaria, and that
persons suffering from general debility
can find nothing equal to 1t. The
Springs have been for years totally ne
elected, being owned by infant children
residing in Norfolk. 1t is reported that
gentleman of means will buy the
Springs and endeavor to bring the waters
into general use, and that he Will erect
suitable buildings for a summer resort
for persons suffering from malaria,
chils and fever, DC.
The farmers are putting IN large crops
Of peanuts and cotton. InsOme parts OF
the county the corn is already up and
growing nicely. The OVERLOOKING OF the
creeks and river during the spring has
DELAYED work upon the low lands.

Trusts.

II is only a question OF time when
great public ills will cure Themselves
when those engaged in engineering ana
fostering great public abuses will pre-
sumo too far on the good nature OF the
long-suffering people, touch some vital
point, arouse some class, and raise
storm that will be reactionary
and revolutionary. Trusts ere conceded
70 constitute the most monstrous abuse
OF the day. They have been denounced
by the press, invoighed against from tho
stump, and even preached against from
the pulpit but TO very little purpose.
The people bove supinely allowed them
to increase and multiply and ex-
tend their briarean hands IN every
direction. The masses have groaned
and shaken with suppressed ire, but
made no aggressive sign, and legislative
bodies have submitted TO the clutch OF
the monsters almost without murmur.
But vengeance threatens at last. The
final straw is about TO be loaded upon
the hump of public patience. The Sleep
ing lion is about TO awake. There now
looms up the horrible form Of an ATGchfS
UgDoqnq trust. The people could
stand a sugar trust, steel trust, lard trust
lin which there is no lard), coffee trust,
salt trust, most any other sort OF trust
exceptan Arachis HypogGa trust. andin
fighting the latter they may not only be
able to crush outthe entire trust business,
but it is safe TO say will have with
them every legislator in the land
1t is physiological and psychological
fact that American craftsmanship cannot
exist without the drachis hypogTn.
As brain food for legislators the whale
does not compare with 1t. Combined
with the pyrus n1G}Us it is q ire
mendous mental stimulant. and IS
the inspiration of what is known
as 0rdchis hYpogGG politics. The
trust is, therefore, aimed at and
n defiance to all Legislative bodies,
and touches vital point situated in the
region Of the legislative diaphragm.
There is also another class the trust would
affect most seriously, and who will doubt
less protest most vigorously against 1t.
We allude to certain devotees Of the
music and the drama found in nearly
all large cities, who make it a point
to encourage lyric and dramatic artists
and edify audiences with the sweet
sounds evoked by pressing the arachis
hypogGo between the fingers. Again, 1t
is question whether the trust would not
be in violation Of the fourteenth article
of amendments to the Constitution,
seeing that it is held on good authority
that the arachis hypog0a, naturalized
under the name of peanut, was a native
OF Africa.
Considering all these facts, may we not
reasonably conclude that therei is death in
the air for trusts?
