A Case of Imagination.
It is a well-- -labiisbed fact that the
mind has a direct and important action
pon the body, and to a much greater
extent than persons in general suppose.
During the prevalence of an epidemic
for insance, such as the eholera, thou
sands become arfikted through their
own fancy, who would otherwise es
cape the fell destrover. We remember.
when this scourge was last upon us, of
hearing several rndiviuu&ts spoken of
as likely to perish with the disejise, for
the simple reason that they were con
stantly m dread and fear of it ; while.
on the other hand, those who seemed
to care little about it, and in some cas
es sco5ei at and defied it, were seldom
touched by the invisible foe.
Xo one can tell what the mind is, or
1 how it acts upon the body; but we have
constant evioenee 01 its presence ami
power through one of its attributes, the
will; and we are sometimes astonished
at its increased force, when simulated
by passion or fear.
In a conversation with a distinguish
ed physiciau of our acquaintance upon
thi subject, lie related a case of the
striking effect of imagination, or mind,
upon Itody, which came under his own
observation while a student at a hospi
tal. A lecture by oe of the faculty
touching upon imagination and its
strange effects, lecatne ahubject of dis
cussion in his class : and the question
shortly arose, whether it wag not rath
er the body that affected the mind than
the mind the body.
"I contend," said one, "that the lody
first becomes afleeted by some morbid
influence, and the mind of course takes
its tone therefrom."
"I maintain," said another, "that the
mind may be nrat aSected. and so im
pair the body, as in cases of mental ex
citement, such as grief, joy, fear, hor-
I nr, shame, chagrin and disappoint
1 ment."
The students took sides on the ques
tion and the matter was ably argord
pro and eon, each party about equally
maintaining its assumed position. In
aU questions of a nature permitting a
strong argument on either side, it is
fair to presume that both parties iiave
truth for a foundation ; and neither has
the whole 'truth; and so it was in this
rcase the fact being that the mind does
affect the body, and the body affects
the mind.
But something more than argument
was wanted in this case; medical stu-
1 dents like to trv experiments, and wit-
ness practical demonstrations ; and it
was finally agreed that a perfeetlv
healthv subject should be selected and
! put under the effects of imagination. A
young, robust, rosycheeked fanner, who
occasionally eame into town to dispose
' of some fruit, and who had found some
J of his best customers among the stu-
dents, was finally fixed upon as an in
dividual in every way satisfactory for
the trial. The plan was for some of the
students, at different times and at dif
ferent places, without any appearance
of collision, to be struek with his alter
ed looks to preceive some secret mal
ady beginning to affect him and final
ly to predict his death at a given time.
With this understanding they went de
liberately to work the next time he ap
peared among them. Some three or
four of them sauntered out to his cart,
from which he was selling apples; and
each, as he came up, took a Ions: and
unusual stare at him, as if suddenly dis
coverinr somethim: very peculiar;
and then all seemed to consult
together in a very serious manner, oc
casionally glancing at him with looks
of pity verging on alarm.
'How are yon to-dav, Mr. Bassett?"
! at length inquired one of the party, in
a srave. quiet tone, with a look of eom-
anqious for ruts answer.
"Fm right well, I thank your re
plied Bassett, with a pleasant smile;
-how do you find yourself? I've got
some good eating apples here, gentle
men the same kind that you liked so
well before."
"How old are you. my friend?" pur
sued the one who had'first addressed
hira, still looking him steadily and se
riously in the eye.
"Going on rwenty-foffr."
"Just the richt age, too," remarked
the other to his companion, in a low
tone, which Bassett overheard, as it
was intended he should. "Are you mar
ried?" he inquired, turning to the
young farmer.
"Xo, not yet, exactly," lanched Bas
sett. "Intend to be, I suppose?"
"Well, perhaps, some time or other,
if I live."
"Very well put in if vou IrveP re-
turned the questioner, with solemn em-
pnasis.
For the first time the young fanner
looked at the speaker in some surprise.
"Why, what do you mean by that
if I live?" he inquired.
"Is it best to tell himr said the stu
dent, in a low tone, addressing' his com
panions. "It may be as well." replied another;
"it can" alter nothing, you know,
"VTheatley, and he may have some prep
arations to make.
"Ah. here eomes Dr. Giles a very
shrewd observer, let us see if he notices
anything first," observed "Wheatley,
glancing at another student, who was
leisurely approaching.
"Well, boys, how are the apples to
day ?" said "the newcomer, in a light
tone, as he drew near.
He glanced at the apple-dealer as he
spoke, gave a start, stopped saddenlv,
and then looked inquiringly at the oth-i
ers, who maintained an ominous si
lence. "Heavens!" he exclaimed; "is it so?
And so young!"
"What is so?" rather seriouslv inquir
ed Bassett, on whom the manner of the
whole group had begun to make a mark-4
ed impression.
"I was about to tell him," said
Wkeatley to Giles, in a confidential
tone; bnt seeinz your approach, I
f thousht I would wait and see if vour
observation confirmed it."
"A clear case I saw it at a glance?"
replied Giles. "What a pity! And he
is in sueh apparent health !"
Then the five students drew bock,
aad mysteriously conferred together.
"Does he suspect nothing?" the farm
er overheard Giles inquire.
"Nothing whatever, and even an
nounced himself as feeling in his usual
good health," answered Wheatley.
Giles lifted his hands, with a look oj
commiseration, and muttered, as if to
himself, "poor fellow poor fellow! it
will lie a hard blow to him aad his f am
iiy!" Xothing of all this was lest on Bas
sett. who began to grow very restless
and uneasv.
"What's the matter?" he again in
quired, looking from one to another.
"Do you see anvthing queer about
me?"
"Tell him yourself, doctor," said
Wheatley.
"Some one should," returned Giles ;
"but I wish the task had not devolved
on me. One must do Ids duty, how
ever." He then went up to the young farm
er and solemnly asked him if he felt
well perfectly well, and if he had any
particular fear of death?
"What do you say all this to me for?
returned the" other, turning somewhat
pale, and looking frightened.
-Because we see seeds of death in
you," said Giles, "and know you can
not live over a week from to-day from
this hour, in fact."
"Gracious heavens! what is it?
Whafs the matter with me?" cried the
other, in real alarm, turning stQl more
pale, and beginning to tremble in every
limb.

shuddering.
"Of course vou do. Come, sentle-

apples, so that lie can get hoiae and ar

"Can't vou do anvthins for me?
Ain't there no hope?" whined the now
terrified fellow, with big drops of per
spiration, wrung out 01 mental agony,
standing all over his face and brow.
"We can't do any tiling for you now,"
said Giles; but Dr. Couple, of- our
hospital, fancies he has discovered a
cure. We shdl know to-morrow for

should he sueceed, we will come to you

and co&ipiainimr that the win in his
heart was increasing.
On the road bevond the viliase he
met some more students, who looked at
him in surprise and alarm, inquiring
how he felt and assuring him he was
very ill and threatened with the placue
if, in fact, he had not got it already.
He hnallv reached home more dead
than alive; informed his parents of
what had occurred, he took to bed. and
gradually grew worse. In spite of bis
protestations they sent for a doctor;
but it so happened that the latter was
away on a consultation in a neighbor
ing town, and did not return in time to
see him the next dav. The dav follow

was standing in a group of gentlemen,
in front of the Gibson House, yesterday,

Friend," in his real-estate transactions.
was creating throughout the State of
New York. It reminded the Judge of
a newspaper item he had read about
Bill Enslish, over twenty years ago.
It was in relation to English's bill in
Congress to withdraw the school land
grant fiom the Territory of Kansas,
unless it voted for the infamous Ne
braska Compromise. A paper spoke
of it as titenneanest bill that had ever
been framed on God's earth. Prentice,
of the Louisville Journal, copied the
paragraph, and simply added the brief
editorial comment: "No, the author of
the- meanest 'Bill ever ereated was
Ensligh's father."
"Prentice is dead, now," added the
Judge, "but if lie was alive, his opinion
of the man would be just as emphatic

A colored Adonis in Virginia City is
in love with a buxom German woman
who keeps a saloon in the Nortliern
part of the town, and Iras been using
every jirt and rule laid down in "Self
Heips to Courtship" to induce her to
reciprocate his affection. But she is
obdurate and refuses to receive his at
tentions, and he is therefore bowed
down with woe. On Monday night he
determined to resort to desperate means
to arouse pity in the fair one's breast,
ami posting himself in a vacant lot ad
joining her residence, awaited her ap
pearance at the window. The Teuton
ic beauty soon appeared and the color
ed Romeo raised his pistol, fired, and
dropped heavilv to the sround. "Mein
Gott! That fool has" shot himself,"
screamed the object of his affection,
and a crowd soon gathered at the spot.
They caught hold of the inanimate
form and dragged it over the oyster
cans, bricks, and other resuscitating
debris toward the house. "Don't
brine dot thing in here," screamed the
hard-hearted one. whereupon the dis
gusted remains got up and lied, leaving
an astonished crowd.

Before
engaging in a fiuht it was his

"Let me win this fight so that I may

believed could help him win. He began

frequent line in the paper was "Bendi

Was Secesacn a Poily?
From the Meridta (311ss.)3fercary.
The chairman of our committee has
committed the canvass to the proposi
tion that "secession was revolution
and folly." To admit that is to half
condone all the wrongs the Republican
party has infiicted upon the people of
the South, and still further contem
plate a remembrance of which makes
the South solid and binds us together
to oppose it. To admit it is to admit
that the people of the Southern States
committed rank treason and waged a
four-years' war of treason. To admit
it is to admit that Jefferson Davis de
served to have been hanged on that
"sour apple tree." and only was saved
by the magnanimity and forgiveness
of the conquerors. To admit it is to
confess that every willing Confederate
neck might rightfully have been claim
ed by the baiter. To admit it is to ad
mit that Andy Johnson uttered a pa
triotic sentiment when he said, "trait
ors must be punished and treason made
odious." It is to admit that our pun
ishment has been infiicted upon us
reconstruction, carpet-baggery, negro
supremacy, plunder, spoliation and all
has been deserved, and that we got
off well in saving-our necks. It is,in
fine, to admit that we have no just and
reasonable cause to oppose and vote
against the Republican party. It i to
take the gist out of the canvass. It is
to knock our platform from under us.
It is to take away our cause and make
us appear ridiculous and foolish as a
mere restless faction making a cause
less opposition. Convince us that se
cession was revolution and folly, and
you take away the backbone which
stiffens men to stand up and oppose
the Repuhlic.in party to the bitter end.
In the history of our race and govern
ments, instances are rare, if there is
one, where a people committed so gi
gantic a treason and got off so light,
instead of abusimr the leaders of the
party that squelched
as, with an ordi-
our leaders, believed in his heart and
conscience that the Southern States, in
view or the nun impending, might
lawfully, constitutionally and peace-
fully avert it by withdrawing from the
Union, which had then become the
greatest danger to our greatest interest.
That was the doctrine he taught, with
as honest a eonviction as an honest and
great statesman ever entertained. We
planted ourselves on that, and on that
we seceded with no thought or inten
tion of committing treason against a
Government which" we were bound to
by any just allegiance it could longer
chum. We lied then, or we lie now, if
we accepted the honorable Chairman's
position. There is n escape from that.

The grape treatment has been em
ployed with favorable results by pa
tients suffering from bronchitis and
consumption in its pertubereulax
stages. It is especially practiced at
Meran. in the Tyrol, whither large
numbers of German, Russian and Ital
ian invalids resort to experience its
benefits. The patient begins by eating
one or two pounds of grapes each day.
dividing the quantity into three por
tions, one of which k taken an hour
before breakfast, and another before
dinner which occurs between 12 and 1
o'clock and the third in the afternoon
or evening. After two or three days,
the quantity is increased by barf a
pound daily, until it reaches three or
four pounds. This amount often
proves sufficient the patient ftndimr.
as a rule, that he gains in weight and
strength upon it. Chronic liver com
plaints, especially when due to excess in
wine-drinking, are, it is said, notably
relieved by this treatment, the potash
salts in the fruit supplying the element
which the wine hses in the process of
manufacture. Hepatic dropsy has also
been mitigated in this way. One fea
ture in favor of the "cure" is, that no
exclusive diet is described. In fact,
the crapes themselves are so nourish-1
ing that other food is scarcely needed.

We published the other day, m er
Washington correspondence, a letter
written by Congressman Betoeovee, of
Pennsylvania, a Democrat. t a Union
soldier who applied to him. far assis
tance in getting a pension. BeJtaMwer
wrote this Union soldier that "kt the
present Democratic House pension
bills do not have much favor. It has
become almost impossible to get con
sideration of such a bill at all, and,
when considered, its chance of passing
the Hodse is very remote, and the rebel
General who is at the head of the Pen
sion Committee in the Senate is still
more averse to allowing saeh bills to
pass." The Democratic National Com-
mittee made some remarks about Mr.
Beltxoover when they saw this hatter
copied into Remtbbcan nweis. ami
