Thursday ttoniiggt Maroli 20. 1878., cU1 Vi???'? BEB' TJ !B In his History o! Ireland, Dr. Keating asserts that "no nation which ever figured or still figures pn earth ooold or can produce saoh connected end aathen tio accounts of their origin as the Irish." The ancient Irish were exaot in preserv? ing their records, and in transmitting them to posterity. Aooording to the au? thor quoted, it was ordained by law, even in the times of paganism, that if any public antiquary deviated from the truth in any State record, or in the pri? vate genealogy of a family, he. was' im? mediately degraded from his office. Tho records which they mado, and those also ] ^made by persons' in -private stations, with accompanying observations, were] revised in a National Assembly, whioh ] met every three y ears, by royal summons, at Tara, composed of the nobiltty, gen? try, pri oats, historians and men of learn? ing and ability in all the arts and profea Biona. Important concerns of State were considered in this Congress, and the records and chronicles of the island were there reviewed and purged of errors ?and falsehood. Mr. Fetrie, an Jrish an? tiquarian, has exhibited, os the authori? ty of old manuscripts/in the t ran sac Irish Academy, a unt of tho oelebrated tood in the twelfth features, its rat ha'or the foundations of its alls; The description manuscripts of the twelfth contnryT? said to tally exactly with the condition of the site now?with the number,. position and character of its ?earthen mounds and walls. In the library of Trinity College, Dublin, there is preserved the fragment of an ancient Irish manuscript, whioh ?contains a description of the banqueting hall of Tamar ?r Tara. It states that in the reign of Oormao, the palaoe of Tamar was 900 feet square; the diameter '.of the surrounding rath, seven diu' or oaBtB of a dart; it contained 150 apart? ments, 160 dormitories or Bleeping rooms for guards, and sixty men in eaoh;< the height , was twenty-seven oubitsf there were ISO common drinking horns, twolve porches, twelve doors, and 1,000 guests, daily, besides princes, oratory and men of ?cienco,. engrnvora of gold jand. silver, carvers, modelers and nobles. The eat Jng-hall had twelve Stalls or divisions Vn oaoh wing, tables and passages round them, &c, &o. The quantities of meat and butter that were daily consumed at Tara surpass all description. There were twenty-seven kitchens and nine cisterns for washing hands and feet?a ceremony never dispensed with, from the highest to the lowest." In the year 430, and the year in which, aooording to Irish ohronioles, St.. Patrick commenced his missionary la? bors, Laogaire, son of Neal, King of Ireland, tield a great parliament at Tara. The manuer of the sitting is upon re? cord, as follows: "Tho Irish monarch on his royal throne . Conspicuous eat, in the middle of the honso; The Prince of Lern?tor in a chair of State Was placed, but with his back to the assem? bly. Hie face towards the King; behind the throne Tho Prince of Oonacht aat; towards tho South, Upon the King'a left hand, the Prince of Munster Orao'd the assembly; and upon the right Sat, in his splendid robes, the Prince of Ulster." Without considering the question of the authenticity of these old chronicles and manuscripts, which describe Tarn's grandenr in annb 8trihing contrast to its succeeding desolation, after reading them, we can better appreciate the touching lines of Moore, so generally sung or repeated at tbe recent celebra? tions of the Irish societies: "The harp that onoe through Tara'a halls The soul of muBio shed, Now hangs aa mute on Tara'a walls Aa if that aou.l were fled. So sleeps the pirldo of other daya, So glory's thrill is o'er, And hearts that onoo beat high for praiae, Now feel that pulse no more. "No more to chiofe and ladies bright The harp of Tara swells; The chord alono that breaks at night, Its tale of ruin tells. Thus freedom now so seldom wakes, Tho only throb sho gives, Is whon some heart indignant breaks, To Show that still sho lives." The nepotism of the President has shown itself again in tho nomination of brother-in-law Casey to be Collector of New Orleans. About a year or more past, this man became offensive to tho Republican party, for interfering with the Louisiana Legislature, by carrying off a portion of its members in order to prevent a quorum, and under the presBnre, tho President promised to ex? aot a resignation from him. Bat it was a promise never meant to be kept. Casey has latterly been aotive in assisting to establish a bogus government in Louisiana. The sentiment whioh con? demned him a year ago has not re-as? serted itself, and so the President con? siders him all right. The President likes the sort of man Casey is. ? j. ? lj 9$Mmml Vwmtm Wwwiwii ' We are profoundly- grateful to Ooa greaa, after nil, for the mode in whioh il has OiondWted its invetffgatioiuj into fraada antf abus?.

The people will at last hare to do what Congress has so signally failed in. The bill for salary increase, made re. troaotive so far as to give two years' back pay to ont-going members, is another very good thing. It has already borne fruit. The Boston Transcript (Republi? can) predioted that it would cause the loss of New Hampshire, and the predic? tion was verified. "The ball has begun to roll," said another Eastern journal, "and it will be apt to crush every candi? date for elective honors this ysar who assisted in robbing the National Treasu? ry, nnder the guise of reasonable com? pensation." It is remarkable that no defence whatever has been made or at? tempted in justification of the momberB who have thus voted unearned, money into their own pockets. They hang their heads, and stand guilty and si? lent before their constituents. Their constituents may well dispense with their services hereafter. The upright conduot of Mr. Roberts, of New York, of Judge Hoar, of Massachusetts, and of Mr. Mer riok, of Maryland, in deuliniug to accept their, portion of the.spoils, is in. marked ooutrast to that Ol those who pocketed it without any qualm or companotious visiting of conscience. If there be any virtue left in the country, if any. desire yet remains to hare an honest and de? cent Government, the present party, which can no further go in the way of committing and compounding with fraud and rascality, and in general misconduct, will infallibly^ bei overthrow a at the next general election. r It has aesisted the efforts -of Greeley, Sumner, Schurz, Trumbull, to purge and purify it. It has rejected their connsol, and cast tbem out of .its pale. It has repudiated the truths they told them, beoause they wero un? palatable, and, ' if received, would ue oessariiy lead to reforms. It has wickedly stoned its prophets, and now the storm which they foresaw and predicted is ga? thering in force, and, eire long, will break in destruction over their guilty heads. - Savings banks, private bauks und other financial institutions would do well to bear in mind the bill which passed last Congress, aud is now a law, prohi? biting them from nsing the word "na? tional" as a title for their respective in? stitution?. The law goes into effect six months after its passage, und soy failure to remove the word national from their titlo aubjects them to a penalty of $50 a day while the word remains. The Comp? troller of the Currency contemplates no? tifying those savings and private banks who come under the provisions of the law, that they must comply with it or be subjected to the penalty prescribed.

B?(t>j?et. t r _ . ? correspondent ?f the, Netr ; York IFor/cf, writing from Ptris, gives the -fol? lowing ??r?nge and bardJyoredible ao ooont of tho ?eoent transfusion Of a dead man's braiottnto * living subject. .The facta are reported by the World corres? pondent as recorded ih the QoMette Hebdomadcdrti taken '? from'.. Virchoto'* .?4rchivea, a medical journal published at Berlin: It waa at Leipzig that the experiment waa performed. A soldier who had killed the .colonel of hie regiment >u oulu blood, and whom the severity of Pros* eian military discipline would have oanaed to die a . hundred deaths had it been possible, was deliberately handed over to the surgeons, by son ten oe of court martial, and was. confined in a strong room in the military hospital, entirely in .the dark ae to the fate which awaited him. He waa kept there ready for an emergenoy, which did not fail to occur. A, keeper of a beer cellar in Leipzig, a man resembling, in many re? spects, the condemned soldier, and who bad been seized with acute inflammation of the heart, or rather of its investing membrane, was brought to the hospitol to die of that incurable and promptly fatal malady. No sooner had the antici? pated death taken place than the dead saloon-keeper was placed on tbo table by the side of another operating table, on whioh was tho-chloroformed but living body of the soldier. Two Burgeons, with assistants, proceeded alike in both oasee to divide the scalp over the sum? mit of tho skull from ear to ear, turn baok tho division, and remove the skull? cap by inoisions, passing around the ekall like a crown. In the soldier, whose oarotid arteries had been prepared for compression, these vessels were olamped so as to prevent hemorrhage, and but a few drops of blood were lost during tho entire operation. In each, the dura mater was incised, and the hemispheres of tbe brain were removed by an incision with a ebarp, thin-bladed knife passing above the cerebellum, or a narrow portion of about two inohes in a diameter called the ornra cerebri. The brain of the saloon-keeper, whioh was sound, the heart disease having left it intaot, be having been sensible to the last, was transferred to the skull of the soldier, and by an ingenious oontrivanoe the oontinnity of tho arterial and venous tubes was established. The greatest care was taken iu securing the natural adap? tation of tbe parts to u frootion of a line, and the Bkull, having been replaced sim? ply, was held down and in position by the scalp, which was drawn over, and its edges confined by strips of adhesive plaster, and over all was placed a band? age. ' It waayiot until several days had pass? ed, that the pressure noon tbe oarotid arteries was entirely relaxed, altbongh, before tho skull waa replaoed, tho flow of blood in the vessels of the brain was proved to be restored. The ohief fear was from tho results of inflammation and suppuration, but, fortunately, neither ensued, and the wounded .parts healed kindly. There was, from the first, no difficulty in feeding the patient, nor was diffionlty anticipated, for it is well known that in puppies and kittens in whioh the entire brain has been removed, snoking uud swallowing goon as well as before tho operation, and in this case the nerves whioh picBide over deglutition and di? gestion were far below the point of suc? tion. Tbe patient remained in a Bound sleep for two weeks, as in case of apo? plexy, the circulation, digestion and all the vegetative funotions of life being un? interrupted. The gradual union of tho parts was shown by faint bat gradually increasing movements of the limbs, of tho jaws and of the muscles of expression in the face. Speech did not beoome possible until the close of the third week, and then it was hesitating, stammering, as a child learns. Although, it was evi? dent that the patient tried to utter words and sentences, it was very gradual that tbe power of iutelligible articulation re? turned. The Gazelle ooutuins the report, in a tabular form, of the increasing voluntary power over the arms and bands, as mea? sured from day to day by tbe dynamome ter, the measurements given in kilo? grammes; also, tbe daily temperature of tbe limbs, as shown by the thermometer in degrees of oontigrade; also, the mea? sure of returning sensibility of the fingers and lips, as given by an instru? ment called an rosthesiometer; but I omit these, as your readers will be inte? rested in tbe main faots only. When speech became intelligible it was found that tbe soldier; as be seemod, had forgotten entirely his military train? ing and discipline; on tho other hand, be told, at a formal examination, in tho presence of a number of witnesses, the prices of all the wines and beers, such as tho saloon-keeper had been in the habit of buying and selling, manifesting the unimpaired cerebral aotivity of tho latter. His memory recalled tho saloon? keeper/ relatives, friends and customers, whom ho called by name. Tbe soldier bad boen agly, taciturn, revengeful; ho now had the saloon keeper's frankness and even garrulity, in spite of his stam? mering utterance. He was totally blind. Although the nerves of smell and sight had boon approximated in tho operation, they failed to unite. It was both sad and strange to see and hear the soldier groping in his infirmity of blindness, and giving proof of all the patient en? durance aud goodness of heart which had made tho saloon keeper deservedly esteemed and prosperous. Theso are the main facts in tho oase, as far as do tailed in the Archive, but the subject of experiment presents so many important problems of the relation between blood and brain, of heart power and nervous energy, that we may be well assured that no facts of interest in the changed con? dition of tho oulprit will bo permitted to escape notice and record. A grave point of discussion is whether he must still bo considered a criminal, and suffer execu? tion as a guilty soldier, or shall be pen ?ftoaedHMriliberally oared tor in hie in* flrmity as a guiltless and much-snffering boer-seller. Public sentiment is divided. Eusperor William says "Ya," peremptc rily. The ^Emperor William*a jadgee. therefore, all saj'' Ya wohl.*' The Em-I Dftror William's professors of metaphys? ics in the Emperor's anivorsities say it is dearly a oase of ago and non-ego, and' the people seem willing that the matter should rest there as far as the metaphys? ical aspects of the question are concern? ed. For my part I merely give the faots of the case and the proof on which they refit. Thb Tiasi Days of Timbod.?"I," a correspondent of the Charleston News, writes as follows, ander date of Colum? bia, 8. C, March 18, 1873: Mr. Paul H. Hayns having chosen to appropriate to himself and consider ex? amples of "perverse taste and feeling" some remarks of mine, made in a late oommunioation to the Boston Daily Ad veriiser, and ropublished in your co? lumns, 1 deem some explanations doe him and due myself. In reading Mr, Hayne'a memorial sketch of Timrod, I was greatly struck and delighted with the csqnisite tos to and delicacy vr hieb pervaded it from first to last, and the unfortunate artiole whioh has bo wound? ed Mr. Hayne'a sensibility was written with no thought of his share in having produced "the impression widely preva? lent at the North that Timrod was ne* glected by bis owu people." It seemed to me tho whole Southern people must be partaking of the indig? nation I felt that the Northern press could not even applaud oar dead poot without traducing our ruined people. My artiolo was, therefore, simply au en? deavor to defend my injured country from the aspersions whioh were being oast upon her. As Mr. Huyne bus seen St, however, to bring this unpleasant subject again before the public, I must be allowed to enter my protest against its being assorted that Timrod "was ne? glected by hit own people." By a refer? ence to tbo letter in the Boston paper, it will be seen that, on tho occasion re? ferred to, uu which Qen. Hamptop made Timrod's necessities known to my father, I state "the snow was falling heavily." The letter alsu makes me atate "it was early in the fall of 1867." This, it must easily be perceived, is an error either in writing or printing, (I have no copy of the manuscript,) for even tho poetical imagination of Mr. Paul H. Huyne could scarcely conceive snow falling heavily in the latitude of Columbia, S. C, "a few weeks previous to October." Not sup? posing I was to be subjected to so scorch? ing a criticism, I confess I trusted entire? ly to my memory in preparing the hasti? ly-written article for the Boston Adver? tiser, and di not, as I should have done, consult the references at my command. I find, by examining a carefully kept record of those dark days, alike illustra? tive of man's inhumanity and God's meroy, that tho interview mentioned took place on the 20th December, 1866, nearly one year previous to the date of Mr. Timrod's death. During this time 1 assort that if he was in want it was in spito of tho watohfui care of constant and ready friends, including bis tender and faithful physician. That before this period ho may have been in great need, is mournfully true? who was not in great need in burnt Co? lumbia during these sad years of desola? tion aud famine? Indeed, there were few focblo women and tender children who did not know absolute want. With the piteous tale of Columbia's fate so widely known, it is strange, and even hard, that ehe should be taunted with her inability to surround the dying poet, her adopted son, with nil the minis? trations of wealth and ease, but what she oould do ehe did. I regret very much that my effort to rid my' oouutry of somo part of the odium thrown upon her, should have forced me to again bring this painful theme before tho public. So much as I have written I believe just and neces? sary, but promise yon I shall not bo tempted to oontinue tho discussion. BoiliBR Exflosion.?A brief telegram was received in this city yesterday, by Messrs. Steinmeyer & Stokes, from Yemassee, tho junction of the Savannah and Charleston and Port Boyal Boads, stating that the boiler at Browning's saw mills, on tho latter railroad, about nine miles North of Yemassee, had ex? ploded on Monday afternoon, by which Mr. Browning was seriously injured.

Molo jo is tbe name given to a town in Lower California* situated on a bay of the same name, opening iuto tbu Gulf of Califor? nia, about, midway between the month of tbe Colorado River and Cape San Lu oaa. The distance to Moleje-from, this city by the old Spanish Mission Road, leading to Cape Sati Lpcas,;iB/'about 670 miles. , Wo havo information froqa Mo? leje to tho" effect that recently a volcano was discovered within a distance of about twenty-five leagues from" the town, and between two and three leagues from tbe Gulf coast, and about the same distanoe from the old Spanish Mission Road. On the mountain side, within an area of about 200 yards, there are over twenty vent holes, from whioh smoke is emitted in jets a yard or more above the surface. Lower down the side of the mountain than these vent holes, streams of water issue forth. The discovery was made by a couple of natives, while on a prospecting tour for mines. The sur? rounding country is rugged and barren. Although4he land has been claimed, and has been occupied for years, it is utterly worthless, not even affording pasturage for cattle. Earthquakes have been of rather common occurrence in Moleje for several years. At times, tho shooks were unpleasantly heavy, threatening to over? throw the buildings of the town. Last year, twenty distinct shooks were felt on different occasions, but tbey were all of a light character. During 1870, five earth? quake shooks were felt at Moleje, whioh created considerable alarm, shaking the houses to the very foundations. It is now believed that these earthquakes had tbeir sources in the newly-discovered volcano, tbe eruption of whioh has ap? parently taken place at a comparatively recent date; for, although the district has been inhabited at least two centu? ries, earthquakes have never been known to occur till the last few years, not even by tbe Indians.
