THE PNIENoDIENA OF TIIC BRnAIN.
One of the most inconceivable things
in the nature of the brain is that, al.
P though the organ of sensation, it
should itself be inrsensible. To ont
the brain gives no pain ; yet in tho
brain resides the power of feeling
pa.in in any part of the body. If the
etirv. which loads to the injurod part
be divided, we become instantly un
con$cious of suffering. -It is only by
communication with the brain that
any kind of sensation is prodned ; yet
the organ is itself insensible. But
there is a cirotumstance more wonder
ful still. A certain portion of the
brain itself may. be removed.without
destroying life. The aitnal lives nint
performs all those functions which
are tecessary to simple vitality, but
- it has no longer a mind. It. cannot
think or: fuol. It requires that the
food shoul be pushed into its storn
nch ; on0C there it' is dligested, and
the aninal will even thrive and grow
fat. We infer, therefore, that a part
I of the brain is simply intrended for
the exorcise of the inrtolhetni fntniul
ties, .whetber:. of the lower degree,
called.-instinot, or of that exalted kind
besto.ted On man, called reasoin.

TUIE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT AND
THE DEftOOnACY.--The Old .North
State,'on the iubjeot of the ratification
of the fifteenth Amend ment by the
Legllture of North Carolina, says :
The course of Messrs. Oiborno,
Love, Jarvis, IIodnet, Argo and other
Consorvatives,wlio spoke and voted for
the amendment is, in our opinion,
worthy of high commendation. They
have proven by their acts that they
are ready to make any reasonable
saoriflce'as an offering upon the altar
of peace, and the people will hail
them with the plaudits of "well done
thou good and faithf'i[ ao:vant."
What. those Senators and R 'presenta.
tives promised tliemtslves who tmudo
lnmg speeches agninst the amend meit,
ai didl Messrs. 11.bbins of the Svnate
and Mihone of the [ouse, we cannot
tell. If the speeches to which we
have referred were merely ma'de for
Buncombe, the speakers will not pro
b tbly find themselves mistaken as to
hi raap; ion they will meet with at
home.

Ilow well Grant kept the secret of the
Cabinet is shown by a story concern
ing Mr. Borne, the Seeretary of the
Navy. Mr. Burie went on to Wash

new President, bliut without the slight
est. tloupht or desire of a call to the
Cabinet. Ile called on the new Pre
sident on the afternoon of the 4th of
March, and found hin at work in his
office. "Al, Mr. Borie," said Grant,
"have you come on, too, to spy out
the Cabinet ?" "Not -it all," said
Mr. Boric ; "I come only to see you
sworn in as President, and have call
ed to offer my friendly congratulations
before returning home ?" "When do
you return?" asked Grant.. "To
morrow, in the noon train," said Bo
rie. "Well, good-bye," said the Pre
aident, "make my regards to your
family." Mr. Iirio bowed himself
out;,t,nd did not suspect that he was
the "man from Pennsylvania," until
the next aftnrnoon, when the train
,stoppcd at Wilmington, and he heard
his name road out to an eager crowd
at the depot, as that of the Secretary

i.iE.--Vo learn by the Canton (Miss.)
Mail, that Ex-Governor MoWillio
died on the 31 inst., of paralysis, in
the seventy fifty year of his age.
Governor MeWillio was a native of
8oith Carolina, and a prominent poli
tician of that State, but removed to
Mississippi twenty-five years ago, and
was soon elected to Congress on the
general ticket of the Damonratic par
ty. In 185.1 he was elected to the
Senate of Mississippi from Madison
and Scott counties, and succeeded
Governor MoRae as Governor of the
State. Governor MoWillie took a
warm and active interest in all public
improvements; ho left his mark as one
of the pioneers who.started and push
ed forward the various railroads now
so important to the welfare of the peo
ple of Mississippi.

The Newberry Herald, of Wedne,day

graphic line of communication, which
will connect Newberry with the outer
world, is looking up. Since our last
mention of this subject, subscription
li.-s have been opened, and stock to a
respectable amount taken. We hope
soon to report the sum subseribed suif
flolent for the purpose contemplated
nand a contract made for putting up
meo line. The Greenville & Columbia
Railroad is actively and substantially
etilisted in its success. A new era is
about to dawn in the development of
a greater material prosperity then our
good old town of Newberry ever ex
perienced in her palmiest dlayo."

DEroT.--.On Thursday last, several
meon of the Pine House section met at.
the Pine Hlouse Depot, and an affray
arising-or, more properly, a con fu
sion or commotion, caused by liquior
-Luthor Toney was -killed by a ball
from a pistol in the hands of Bonjamin
Boothie. These men, it seems, were
going in a body to molest, in some
way, a certain neighbor, or his freed
meni, against whom they had a grudge.
And the upshot of tihe matter was
that Bloothe, in brandishing and flour
ishing his pistol, shot Tonoy and kill
ed hinm. As to whether the murder
was intentionalo net, there is great
difference of opinion. Bootho, togeth
er with a brother, has been arrested

Why Not Advertise ?
It is a great advantage to advertise
sales of property, houses to let, &o.,
in the newspapers, of your District, in
addition to having handbills printed.
A newspaper is read by hundreds who
never see the attractive bills which ate
posted in our streets. Every subsori
bor to a country paper reads all such
advertisements. lie knows who are
selling out and exactly what is offerod
for sale. No money is sd sure to re
turn a good profit as that spent on
printer's ink. A single additiunal
bidder on a single article will pay all
its costs to advertise a sale of proper
ty in a newspaper.

As tihe officers of the South Caroli
na Railroad Company think that the
qiuestions at issue between that comn.
pany and the Columbia and Augusta
Railroad Company are not' generally
understood, the South Carolina Rail
road Company, with a view to the full
presentation of the controversy, re
tained a skillful stenographer to at
tend the session of the Supreme
Court in Columbia, at the argument
of the prohibition ease, in which all
the issues between the two companies
were, by nature of proceedings,
brought dip for the decision of the
Court. The arguments of the coun
sel for the two companies are alike,
we believe, presented to our readers
in the supplement we issue to-day.
Without enter'ing into any commnen.
tary upon the merits of the many
questions raisedl in the argument, two
points, it is conceded, appear worthy
of considjeration:
1. That the South Carolina Rail
road Company do not contest the
right of the Colum~bia and Augusta
Railroad Company to construct their
road, but simply their right, to con..
struct it upon the land of thie South
Carolina Railroad Company.
2. That the questIonl of tight be
tween the two companies has never
received judicial determination.
A reference to the argument will
show that all the questions have been
keenly discussed. It is claimed by
the 8outh Carolina Railroad Company
~hat they endeavored to avoid the
p.rotracted litigation )y the proposj.
Aon to refer all tjhe matter in dise te
o0 a board of arbitratIps composo of

An Excellent Idea
An exchange says : "A method
employed in Germany to keep rose
buds fresh in wiuter, consists in first
covering the end of the recently out
stein with wax, and then placing each
one in a closed paper cap or cone, so
that the leaves do not touch the pa
per. The cap is then coated with
glue to exclude air, dust and mois
ture, and when dry it is stood up in a
drawer in a cool place. When want.
ed for use the bud is taken out of the
cap and placed in water, after cutting
off the end, when the rose will Lloon#
in a few hours.P'
Hope.
"A bright and beautiful bird ti
Hope ; it will come to us amid the
darkness, and sing the sweetest song
when our spirits are saddest ; and
when the lone soul is weary and longs
to pass away, it warbles its sunniest
notes, and tightens again the slender
fibres of our hearts that grief has been
tearing away."
The New York Express says : It is
estimated that the. new-fashioned
spring bonnets will be very small,
very elaborately trimmed with flow
ers and lace, and, as a matter of
course, very expensive.
Cold Victuals.
We commend the facts contained in
the following as being eminently true
and worthy of constant practice :
"It is not long ago since, in this
country, cold mean was looked on as
the symbol of everything impoverished
and stingy and squalid. In many
parts of New England the same preju
dice exists yet, and 'mean as cold vic
tual' in a qtie common expression
to denote anything or anybody that is
beneath contempt. In large cities
like Now York many thousands of peo
ple live more upon cold meats than
upon hot, and the food seems to agree
with them. Germans live half of the
time upon cold ham and saussage ; and
they are much given to salad and un
cooked vegetables of various kinds.
Cold veal is always to be found on the
counters in German "estaurants. Fol
lowing the English fashion, mnuny re
staurants in New Yorlc make a spe
ciality of cold meats, and there is a
great demand for thern in general,
many persons considering thetn more
wvholesomo, as well as more palatable,
than hot meats.
"Cold roast pork Is infinitely better
than hot, as well as more digestible.
In certain villages of France where
the culture of the silkwvorm gives em
ployment to most of the inhabitants,
while the season is at its height the
women are all too busy to prepare hot
food regularly, and so the people dine
peependicularly, on such cild victuals
as may be at hand. They are report.
ed as~ being very healthy and 'robush
under this regimen, It i.n quMgIQI
open for discussion *hy fdod and
drink should be taken hot- under
any circumstances. Sonme phyticians
think that the premature dceay of
tooth is owing to the. habit of hot
meats and drinks, with frequent .anti
thesis of Iced water. Mani, being the
only an1mal that cooks, is th. only
one that eats hot food, and Is miore
liable to disordere of all aorts, than
the lower creature.."
An exchange asys the foellng re
ceipt for raising potatoes is worth the
price of any paper for one year, to any
farmer as the best asper-phosphate of
lime, and it will not cost half so
much. It has been tried two yeara,
and.is good on dry land. Take one
