Large Gift for Negro Education.

The trustees of the Methodist Church
Yesterday were in secret conference In
regard to recent windfsl In the shape
of SlS0,000. About year ago Dr. =:
Il. Cannon, superannuated Methodist
clergyman who had made large for
time in the manufacture and sale OF agr-
cultural implements, and whose sympa-
thies became awakened in favor OF the
education of the colored people OF the
South. in connection with the Freed
mans Aid Society, founded theologi-
cal seminary for the education OF colored
preachers of the Methodist faith near
Atlanta, Ga. It was named the Gam
mon Theological Seminary, and the Rev.
DR. Thirkield, the son-in-law OF the cele-
brated Bishop Gilbert D. Haven, was
chosen dean Of the faculty. Mr.. Gam
mon had already given $4,000 to the
university, and, though he has no chill
dren, he has grandchildren. Last Friday
he wrote to Judge NJ. B. Hagans, OF this
city, the president of the board OF tus'
tees of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
and told him that he had made his Will
and intended to give $3.50, 900 to the
trustees for the maintenance OF the SEMI
nary. The trustees gave Judge Hsgans
fuli power to act, and when he told MIR.
Cannon that he had not much conf
dence in wills, that Courts frequently
set them aside, and that the lawyers gen
srally got the greater part Of the funds
and one bird in the hand was worth tWo
in in the bush, Mr.. Cannon decided to
nass over to the trustees the amount be-
fore his death, and made the assignment
accordingly. The trustees OF the church
and the Freedman's Aid Society agreed
TO accept the trust and yesterday after
noon conferred in regard to the matter:
Within the next ten days everything VII!
be satisfactorily arranged.-Clnclnnah

Political Driftwood.

Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, a promi-
nent Republican of New York, is in
Atlanta on professional business. In an
interview on Monday he said: 81 am de-
voting my time to the practice OF my
profession, and as a man cannot well
serve two masters, let politics severely
alone. AS a Republican, have no
means of knowing anything about in
ternal differences in the Democratic
party, so cannot tell you whether there
is any truth in the stories abont opposl-
ton to the President in New York. l
know that Governor Cleveland-I mean
President Cleveland-is very strong with
the business men Of New York, the men
with whom I am particularly thrown.
Many Republicans, Like myself, while :
differing from him upon political
grounds, admire him for his honesty, his
integrity and the faithfulness with which
he performs his duty as he conceives it;
and the opposition to him at the coming
election will not be of personal nature
at all-it will be purely political %
There are solid indications that the
Iowa Republicans and Prohibitionists OF
the same State are on the verge of dis
solving partnership. The Republicans
train with the Prohibitionists in the day
time and with the whiskey men after
dark. The Prohibitionists are tired Of
this double dealing and propose to hero
alone in the future.

Facts About Dogs.

Ex-Representative Horr, OF Michigan
saws 'sthere are II, 100000 dogs m this
country" lis but a few years since the
Secretary of the State of Ohio reported
that 10, 900 sheep were killed or destroy
ed by dogs in that State the year
previous. The Secretary OF the State OF
Georgia also reported that $4,000 were
killed or destroyed in that State year
previous. Vermont had in 1850 l,Ol+,
122 sheep; in 1856 but 37S,l74. This
great reduction has been going on under
different tariffs, not only in Vermont but
in all the New England and many other
States, and dogs are the cause OF it.
Now comes a Senator of New York State
Pratt or Platt, think, is his name
and saws that "two-thirds of the sheep
industry OF his county has been destroy
ed by dogs
Sheep raising is one Of the important
industries OF the country, and the farm
ers have long sought protection from
dogs, but don't get it. Annlhllate them
and il, 900, 600 more sheep than we now
have will be added to that industry, and

THE WEIGHTS OF BRAINS.

A Study that Is Important Because OF Its
Bearing on Our Mentality.
Froln the Denver Republican,
The study of brain weights is inter
esting because Of its bearing upon the
question of intellectually. The average
human brain weighs forty-nine or fifty
ounces il, the male and about forty-fye
ounces in the female. Great brain
weight is not always associated with In
tellectual vigor, as is shown by the fact
that an idiot is known to have had a
brain of over sixty ounces in weight:
But Notwithstanding the evidence OF
such cases as that of the idiot referred
to, great mental power is generally asso-
ciated with brain weight exceeding the
average. Cuyier's brain weighed sixty
four ounces; but Gambetts's brain
weighed less than the average woman's
brain, which is, of course, peculiar be-
cause of his great intellectually. A
strange problem is developed by com
parison of the average weight of the
male and female brains with the mini
mum We1SuG u caCu "1puln 'ite !.NSS o~
intelligence. The average weight OF the
female brain is about five ounces less
han the average weight Of mau's
brains. If the weight of the brain were
an infallible gauge of intellect the aver
age woman would, so to speak, have i've
ounces less intellect than the average
man. But the weight OF brain in man
below which idiocy exists is about i've
ounces higher than it is in woman. This
is what presents the problem. If, say,
thirty ounces of brain il woman save
her from idiocy and thirty-f7e ounces
are requisite in a man, what becomes OF
mans average of five ounces OF brain
weight in excess of the average In wo-
man? The conclusion seems to be that
smaller quantity of female brain is
essential to intellectually than OF male
brain. This is equivalent to saying that
the female brain is of a superior quality.
In contradiction of this the fact may be
cited that in comparison with men but
few women of great intellectual Vlgor
have appeared in the world. If the com
parison Just made held true woman
with brain of fifty ounces ought to be
the equal of man with brain OF fifty
| five ounces.
