From the Saturday Review.l


Few memories are entirely truthful.
We many of us End them false mainly
to our own cost or Inconvenience. We
are sure we put missing article where
we did not put it; that we read passage
in the middle of righthand page, when
it turns out to be at the top of the left.
The eye OF memory has the most distinct
recollection, and yet it is not true. The
most disinterested witnesses at trial
contradict one another because each is
sure Of what he neither saw nor heard
exactly as he thinks he saw or heard it.
Nobody is willing to attach any moral
taint to these involuntary errors, though
a certain steadness of observation,
habitual holding self in check, and put
ting positiveness to the test, might have
preserved US from it. Again, certain
ideas, certain forms of expression, slide
J into the memory unawares, and pass cur
rent for original thought, and betray
people into involuntary plagiarism. We
ksnspect that a great many persons as
snne to themselves faculty ofinvention
when they are only cheated by their
memory introducing itself as an original
conception and performing its feats in
disguise. Not many suffer under the
reverse deception, of which Charles
Lamb accuses himself when lamenting
the strange fatality through which every
thing he touched turned into n lie; relat-
ing how he once quoted two lines from a
translation of Dante which Hazlitt very
greatly admired, and quoted in book as
proof of the stupendous power of that
poet But no such lines were to be
found in the translation searched for
that purpose; whereupon he adds, II
must have dreamed them, for | am quite
sure did not forget them knowingly.
What misfortune" he plaintively con-
cludes, ito have lying memory" On
the other hand, a correct memory is the
most necessary of all aids to the liar, as
We are reminded by hackneyed pro.
verb; and it also prompts to lying in un-
principled hands. Wood tells a story OF
Hoskyns, the Winchester boy who, having
neglected to write his verse exercise,
| glanced for minute or two over the shoul-
der of more diligent school fellow, and
upon the master calling him up, said he
had lost his paper, but if he might be
allowed he would repeat without hook
the twentieth verse he had written,
which he was permitted to do. The
other boy was called next, and showed
the verses which Hoskyns had just re-
peated, and being taken for the thief,
was sorely whipped. Next to the lying
memory, and far more common, Is the
treacherous memory that fails us at a
pinch, hiding itself in darkness, leaving
us cognzant of its existence, but elud-
ing our grasp. Nothing is mere tanta-
lizing than this state of mind The
man who feels the fact, or word, or
name fitting just out of his reach is
misery to himself aud everybody else.
Very few people have philosophy enough
to give in; to reflect that what they
search for in such restless persistence
matters to nobody; for the time being
they have lost part Of themselves and
worry after 1t.

Execution OF Henry Young.


Henry Young, lately convicted Of the
murder OF q man named Hahn, in
May last, was executed here at noon
to-day. He was sentenced to be hung
on the 18th inst, but was respited for
two weeks in order that he might better
prepare for death. According to his
own account be made good use of his
time, for he made q speech in which he
announced that he bad made full prep
arations for death and had a confident
hope that he would soon be in glory.

scaffold be sang as lond as the loudest,
and did not seem to be at all nervous.

ed man, called out, Are you guilty, or
not guilty" "Not-"-but before he
could say any more his counsel, Gen.
Massey. who was on the scaffold with
him, quickly interposed and called out
to the crowd go stop such inquiries.
The black cap was then drawn over
the prisoner's head and not long there
after the drop fell. The fall did not
break his neck and death was caused by
strangulstion. The muscular contrac-
tions of the victim were for time quite
fearful. He was pronounced dead and
cut down in about twenty five minutes.
Young was convicted on circumstantial
evidence, but it was 30 strong that his
guilt could not be doubted. Strenuous
efforts were made to obtain a commu-

We congratulate the Board OF Educa-
ton and the people OF the city on the
adoption last night OF resolutions and q
,r.p for the establishment OF free night
schools in this city. One is to be taught
!, the First ward, for the benefit OF the
First Sicoad and Seventh one in the
Fourth ward for the Third and Fourth /;
ore in the Sixth ward for the Fifth and
mart OF the Sixth; one in the Eighth
va-i for the Eighth and part Of the
SIKH; aud one in the Third ward for
the benefit OF colored pupils. Under
tue regulations these schools are avail
sJ!e only for those whose oc-
cagagons prevent their attendance
q. the day schools. They will be open
b,,ween the hours OF seven and nine
dl,ing five nights in the week and DUR
iag three months OF the year, or during
q shorter time if the advantages offered
ere not properly appreciated by those
ror whose benefit the schools are estab-
lished.


This is an important advance made
by the educational authorities Of the
civ and is worthy OF all commendation.
IN Z manufacturing community such as
ours boya and girls are put to work at
a1 early age and have no other oppor-
trnitv for education than that offered
in night schools. All that these schools
am to give is merely q knowledge Of
the first principles and rudiments
OF clucation, the arts of reading, wri'
ting and numbers. But we will not be
surprised if some of those whose in
s:ruction is begun in the night schools OF
Wheeling wi, make an honorable and
brilliant record for themselves as in
ye7ior8 and scholars in the future.

ST. Louis, on decoration, set the rest of
the country an illustrious example of mag
nanimity by uniting its population, and
decorating the graves of both federal and
confederates. The gallant remnant Of
Mulligan's braves, in this city, also showed
their appreciation of gallant foe, by salut-
ing the grave of dead confederate captain
and by dropping flowers upon the sod
which covered him. This graceful recog-
milton of dead soldier, although that of a
former enemy. shows that these men have
neither malignancy or Office seeking in
their hearts.

the contrary, the invigorating influence
which it exerts over the nervous system,
is decidedly beneficial In dyspepsia, it is
chiefly upon the Sympathetic Nerves that
the stimulating qualities Of the Bitters are
brought to bear Those Nerves regulate
the functions Of the digestive system. The
flow of the gastric juice, and OF the Other
Authoritative fluids is thus increased and
in like proportion is increased the amount
of blood which is thrown into the genera
circulation. In this manner, dyspepsia is
permanently remedied, and the system al
large is invigorated and built up-the Bit
tiers accomplishing this simply by enabling

 The fact that two successive Vice Presi. dents have suffered from strokes of paralysis, both of whom are rigid teetotallers, is at once an evidence that excessive indulgence in alcoholic drinks IS not the principal cause of the increasing prevalence of such ailments, and a startling indication of how common they arc among men who are subject to se- we're and continued mental strain. It is pro- per that the newspapers should turn aside occasionally from discussions of politics and business matters to arouse such of their read ers as are living too fast against the folly and danger of doing so. The warnings may not often be needed. Men seldom dread an evil which they have never experienced. But il the brainworkers of all kinds, including the restless, oyertaxed merchants, manufactur- CTS, bankers, etc, can only be induced to step out of the rush and whirl of business long enough to take an account of their mental stock and vitality, and note whether they have lost or gained as compared with year or five. years ago, definite good will have been accomplished.
