SENSIBILITY TO PAIN.
It Is More Developed in the Nervo'

It Is More Developed in the Nervous
Than in the Muscular Type of Men.
In dealing with man we may roughly
divide him into two main types-the
nervous and the muscular. The nervous
type would be represented by the man
with an active, piercing eye; face
whose features exhibit all the charac-
teristics of energy, intensity of thought
and feeling; a narrow chest and badly
developed muscles. In the muscular type
we should find the man with features ex-
hibiting constant expression of repose,
with powerful and well-developed linn bs
and slow of speech and movement.
Good examples of the one type might
be found among our scholars and
students, of the other type among our
agricultural laborers. These are ex-
IRENE cases; in some of us the muscle
element predominates, in others the
nervous. But the important part is that
these types are not equally sensitive to
pain. Any medical man, relying on his
own experience, would say that as gen.
eral rule the nervous type was far more
sensitive than the muscular.
Numerous examples have occurred in
the writer's own experience all pointing
in the same direction; indeed he has
known men of the muscular type under
go the most painful operations who have
at the time exhibited no indications of
suffering, and have on being questioned
by him acknowledged that they did not
feel much. But the evidence is even
stronger in the case of uncivilized races,
the observations of all travellers pointing
to the extreme insensibi to pain ex-
hibited by savages. A good example
was given in the Spectator few months
ago, when correspondent related the
fact that on the introduction of boots
into New Zealand the vanity of the
natives was so great that when one of
them was happy enough to become the
possessor of pair and found that thew
were too small he wol not hesitate to
chop off toe or two, stanch the bleed
ing by covering the stump with little
hemp, and then force the feet into the
boots.
Other facts con nected with diseases of
the brain may be cited in support of this
suggestion that the more active and
wide-awake the brain is the more sensi-
tive to pain does it become. In early
Inflammation of the brain, when the
amount of blood circulating through it
Is larger than usual, it becomes ex-
tremely sensitive, so much so that a
bright light or loud sound gives rise to
actual pain, while at later stage, when
the circulation is much diminished. all
these symptoms disappear, and the
patient becomes less sensitive than
when in health Century.

CHANCE FOR THE NEGRO.

An Organized Effort Being Made to In.
duce An Exodus to the New England
States.
BOSTON, March 10.-An organized eff.
fort is being made to induce an exodus
OF Southern colored people to New
England. The scheme finds its motive
in the lack of suitable domestic servants
in New England and in the desire of
certain original Abolitionists to place the
freedmen in a condition of civil liberty.
Stiliman B. Pratt says the people of this
section have, within a few years found
out that the women of the negro race
make the best servants that can be had,
aud there is constantly increasing de-
mand for them from all parts of New
England. The intention of the pro-
motors of the immigration movement is
to have whole families come en-the
women as servants and the men for
laborers-and he says the purpose is to
colonize them Throughout New England
in the same way that Vermont is en-
couraging the immigration of Swedish
families. Mr. Pratt says the local au-
tlorities of Maine, New Hampshire.
Vermont and Massachusetts, have prom
ised to deal literally with them, and that
as soon as the proper time shall have
arrived the word will be spoken which
will start considerable exodus from
the Southern states.

that it would probably be year at the

money must be appropriated by con-
