Some interesting experiments on
the reciprocal influence of organs

by Herr Urbanschitsch, of Vienna
His general conclusion is that any
sense excitation has for result an
increase Of the acuteness of other
senses. Thus, sensations of hear.
ing sharpen tho VISUAL perceptions.
If "olored plates are placed at such
a distance that one can hardly dis
tngulsh the colors, and various
sounds are then produced, the COLI
ors 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 tick,
ing of a watch is better heard when
the eyes are open than when they
are closed.
Red and green increase auditive
perceptions; but blue and yellow
weaken them. Several musicians
however, were agreed that red,
green, yellow and blue caused an

FEDERAL ELECTION SUPERVISORS.

Lynchburg Excited over the Instructions.
LYNcHBuRG, VA, November 2.-Much
excitement and no little indignation pre-
walls in this section OF the State over
certain instructions issued to The Federal
supervisors of election by Chief Super
visor Linsley Of the Western jurisdic-
tiOn.
1t is claimed q a, Lin:ley has failed
to discriminate in the duties of superyi-
sors in cities and towns Of 10000, where
they have the right Of arrest, scrutiny,
etc, from the supervisors in counties,
where they can act only as witnesses OF
the election. l. is also charged that
Linsley in other respects perverted the
letter and spirit Of the law.
The daily Ners editorially charges that
the instructions are in direct contrayen-
tion Of Section 2029 of the Revised Stat
uies Of the United States, and advises
State election officers 10 arrest and put
in Jail every supervisor in counties who
undertakes to exceed his authority as
prescribed in said section. The Ners
says: Under Linsley's instructions, the
supervisors may steal the State"

THE STATE OF TRADE.


New York, November 2-R. G Dun
& Co.'S weekly review Of trade will say /:
The interruption of trade by political
excitement has increased. as il natural,
and yet the volume Of business continues
larger than usual, and probably larger
than in any previous year at this season.
In all the larger branches Of industry a
disposition is observed 20 wait until
the election has passed, and yet trans
action TO meet immediate neces-
saries and others, apparently prompt
ed by the expectation that sharp
changes in prices may follow the
election, make up An aggregate which, II
is safe to say, has never been equslled in
any previous presidential campaign. The
dry goods trade has been comparatively
quiet, the demand for mems wooden and
knit goods being moderate, and for dress
goods quite color, while cotton goods are
generally frmer without large transac-
tions. The business failures during the
last week number, for the United States,
243; for Canada, 80; as compared with
22j in the United States and 20 IN canada
during the corresponding week last year.

Jim the Penlnan,"

A crowded house witnessed "Jim the

the performance was received with, ii
possible, more enthusiasm than on the
opening night. The play grows in pop
ular favor the more il is seen, and at the
matinee this afternoon and at the closing
performance tonight it Is safe to predict
that the house will be crowded. A Rich
mond audience never fails to appreciate
really excellent play, and Jim the Pen,

CONNIE endation.
