The Huntingdon Journal. J. R. DURBORROW, HUNTINGDON, PENN'A FRIDAY, Circulation LARGER than any other Paper in the Juniata Valley. NERVOUS PHENOMENA. Our attention was called to nervous phe nomena many years ago, and it was the subject of much anxious thought, but du ring the last eighteen months it has been the subject of daily, almost hourly, experi ments. The result of the thousands of ex periments will be found in the propositions which follow. Having satisfied our own mind of their correctness, in the main, we now submit them to the public that they may be examined by others. We invite our fellow citizens, who take an interest in the investigation of matters not clearly un derstood, and who arc 80 circumstanced that they can investigate for themselves, to join us and to communicate with us upon the subject, but we desire it to be distinct ly understood that we want nothing to do with the class of men who expect to be called "scientists." We have latterly con ceived a contempt for a large portion of this class of professional people that is in expressible. The nervous person lives in a world that the person of strong iron nerves knows nothing about and cannot comprehend. It is to fathom the mystery that has hung about delicately nervous persons, for all ages, that we have directed our efforts, and now we feel that our hypothesis can only be established by the most thorough tests, and to this end, we cordially invite the thousands around us, who have suffered with us from these mysterious agencies, to assist us by giving facts either to build it up or to destroy it. We are not astride of a hobby. Certain phenomena has been pre sented to us and we have labored earn estly and diligently to unravel it, and hav ing resolved in our mind that we have found the hidden and mysterious spring, we present the waters to our readers to drink, to enable them to judge and inves tigate for themselves : 1. Every nervous system controls an al most inexhaustible quantity of electricity. It pervades every portion of the body and is utilized by it, through the brain, to produce action on the part of each and ev ery muscle. The senses are the monitors and the brain separates, arranges and ex ecutes their suggestions. The senses see ing, hearing, tasting, smelling and sensation are the thinking faculties, as it were, and the brain merely the executory faculty. 2. The quantity of electricity utilized by the body depends upon the demands of the nerves. If they are excited, or as we frequently say "nervous," the amount brought into requisition is much greater than wherithe nerves are not agitated. In other words the more nervous the more electrical power or force. This accounts for the fact that under the influence of se vere agitation the body and brain are able to accomplish twice as much as under ordi nary circumstances. 3. The brain does not only utilize the electricity produced or controlled by the body to control our muscles and thereby produce action, but it wields it—hurls it through space—upon any object against that, which we term the mind, is directed. And when directed against a similar ner vous system it produces a sensible effect. The nervous force thus directed concen• trates upon the object against which it is hurled, and in oases of extreme nervous ness combined with sensitiveness, it can be made distinctly perceptible. This accounts in part for dreams, witchcraft, and for the manner in which the feline and reptilian animals seize their prey. 4. The nervous fbree or electricity is principally directed from and through the eyes, "the windows of the brain," and the opening and closing of these organs mate rially effects the current. This accounts for the fact that the cat and the reptile never move their eyelids when they at tempt to paralize and capture their victims. 5. The electricity thrown off partakes of the feelings which pervade the system pro ducing it,thereby clearly demonstrating that feelings are merely the state of t he electricity which pervades us, and this electricity, di rected persistently against a similar nervous system, will produce the same feelings in it that are prevalent in the system direct ing it. This accounts for what the learn ed doctors call sympathy, and will account also for the transmission of epidemic dis eases. 6. The mind directed, for a few minutes, with persistence and force, by means of the medium above stated, will call the at tention of any nervous system against which it is directed, if it is passive, bat if it should prove to be repellant, it would be otherwise. This accounts for the fact that when we "think of the devil he will appear." When we think of our friends persistently they must think of tie. 7. Currents of electricity directed by one nervous system against another, when very heavy, cause the cold chills to pass along the spine and may, when continued for any great length of time, produce bad effects outside of the =re feelings with which they come laden. This accounts for the cold chills running over many when some eminent orator is addressing them. In his agitated state he utilizes more elec tricity, than ordinary, with which to elec trify his audience. 8. Extremely nervous persons, at a great or less distance, can keep up or get up tel graphic communication, by fixing their minds on each other, and thereby transmit their feelings and thus produce what are commonly called presentiments. We present these views hoping that no one will undertake to cry them down until he has fully examined and tested them, Only those who will go to the trouble to .make the tests should undertake to criticise. 711 - E Recorder bill has passed the House 11,,, soh* ,mysterious agency. Alexander Port, esq., member from this county, at the beck of Harry Huhn, committed po litical hari-kari by voting for it. Alexander, there are no more worlds for you to con iauer, save your tears! THE PARTY WHIP AND SPUR. A great political battle is to be fought in Pennsylvania this coming Fall. Already the champions of the respective parties are mounted and, with whip and spur, are en_ deavoring to urge on their followers. It is amusing to hear their shouts and en treaties. They urge their fellows as if the salvation of all that is worth living for devolved upon the selection of their par ticular champion. This is the usual dodge. It is intended for the "greeny" and unso phisticated. The truth of the matter is that the men who are in office to-day have no principles. It is immaterial whether they be Republicans or Democrats. They have but one object, and that is to remain in office and keep their particular friends in. When it comes to the test Republi cans and Democrats support each other, and do every and all things to further their individual ends. They ignore every man, although his services to the party may cover a score of years, who is not of their particular clique. But when an important election is approaching then they seize the whip and spur and commence whipping and goading the honest yeomanry to stand by the party. Thank heaven, this is about played out, and the honest yeomanry are vowing, on all sides, that they are not dis posed to be duped into supporting men merely because they desire to perpetuate their dynasty. The independent voter is abroad, and the only safe plan for him is to take a position in opposition to the rings that have ridden the life out of the re spective parties for the last ten or fifteen years. Men who ignore every one but their own particular clique should look to that clique and their particular frien•fs for support. Party lines are broken, and the cry of "the Party ! the Party !" will come to naught. These people must be brought to their senses, and now is the time to do it. Huntingdon county has two thousand voters that will vote right. They only want to know where the head is that is to be hit. - - EDITOR HON. WM. S. STENGER spoke and voted against the Silver bill, and thus did violence to the sentiments of nine out of every ten voters in his district. Mr. Stenger has the happy faculty of getting on the wrong side of almost every public measure that comes before Congress. Is he opening a way for a removal to New York ? He has made a strong bid for the favors of the gold bugs, and we hope they will not prove ungrateful. His services can be dispensed with in this district. IT MAY not be generally known says a cotemporary, that on the lst inst., the di rectors of the Pennsylvania railroad com pany unanimously resolved to abolish the system of quarterly dividends, and ordered that hereafter dividends, when declared , shall be paid semi-annually, in May and November. This will account for the ab sence of a statement as to what action was taken in regard to a dividend at the regular mt eting of the directors on the first of last month. PEACE has been declared between Rus sia and Tarkey and hostilities have ceased. The Sultan has been obliged to accept the most ignominious terms. Whether the settlement will give peace to Europe re mains to be seen. England is preparing fur war on a magnificant scale so that the peace patched up between the Czar and Sultan may be only the prelude to the opening up of hostilities. A copy of Everybodys' Record and Home Magazine, published by the Ledger Publishing Company, of Lewistown, found its way to our table the other day. It is very neatly printed and contains much useful matter, but we doubt whether ii will prove remunerative- We, however, wish its projectors success. ON Saturday last Col. P. Benner Wil son, of Bellefonte, brother of the chairman of the republican state committee, and brother-in•law of John B. Linn, deputy secretary of the commonwealth, died in that place. Col. Wilson bad command of the Fifth regiment, National Guard, of Pennsylvania. A COPY of Geo. P. Rowell & Co's .4 meri can Newspaper Directory for January, 1878, has been forwarded to us by the publishers. It is a very convenient and valuable compilation and its projectors de serve the lasting gratitude of the fra. tern ity. "BLUFF OLD BEN. F. WADE" died at his residence, in Jefferson, Ohio, on Satur day last, after a protracted illness, in the 78th year of his age. He was one of the pillars of the Republican party. He was an honest and fearless man. 196 to 73 and 46 to 19 is the way the way the story was conveyed to the Presi dent. It was a sad story for the Executive, but "a happy day for the Romans." E. F.

HARRISBURG, MArell 1, 1878 The Sessions held by the Legislature on Monday evenings might as well be abandoned for anything ofgood that is there accomplished. The sport of introducing original resolutions of a political character, during these sessions has grown very stale, and the prosaic reading of bills the first time is by no means relished by either House, and the Senate especially, the last mentioned body on last Monday night held a session of about ten minutes, passed several bills on first reading and adjourned. In the House Mr. Souder of Philadelphia, from the committee appointed to draft resolu tions on the death of Hon. Henry O'Neil, late member from the fourth district of Philadel phia, reported a preamble and resolutions which after appropriate speeches, were unani mously adopted. The House then adjourned without doing any business, out of the respect to the memory of the deceased member. At the close of the session the "Immortal J. N." who was present in the lobby was called upon for a speech, and responding, he entertained the members for half an hour or more. He gave some home thrusts of a political nature to both sides of the House which were much enjoyed. On Tuesday the bill defining the term and enlarging the duties of the office of Recorder in Philadelphia came up on its final passage, when Mr. Faunce, democrat front Philadelphia, raised the point of order that under the four teenth article third section of the Constitution the bill is unconstitutional. The section pro vides that no person shall be appointed to any office within any county who shall not have been a citizen and an inhabitant therein one year next before his appointment. The bill provides that a Recorder shall have resided only six months in the city to make make him eligible to appointment. The point raised was submitted to the House by Speaker Myer on the eve of the adjournment of the morning session. When the House met in the after noon the Speaker withdrew his decision to submit the point to the House, and himself decided the point not well taken. Mr. Faunce appealed from this decision but the appeal was not sustained, and a vote was taken on the bill, which was then declared lost for want of a constitutional majority, the yeas were 94 and the nays 77. A political admixture in the vote was somewhat of a surprise. Among the yeas were seven democrats, viz : Crawford, Holland, Mackin and Pallatt of Philadelphia, Corner of Bucks. Judge and Law of Mont gomery. Among the nays were sixteen Re publicans. On Wednesday tho vote above given was reconsidered and the bill again placed upon its final passage, this time suc cessfully. It was agreed to yeas 107 nays 74. A bill has been introduced into the House providing that no railroad or transportation company shall grant free passes of any kind to any person except employes. The bill also allows the granting of free tickets, or tickets at reduced rates, to the clergy, or for purely charitable purposes. As long as members evince such keen in terest in "the man who gives out" those con venient little pieces of pasteboard there is not much prospect of a bill of this kind becoming a law. The general appropriation bill has had its days in the Senate, and has passed that body with a variety of amendments. The demo cratic side was very much exercised over a section appropriating $7OO to S. B. Collins, House stenographer, for services on the con vict labor committee. After considerable discussion the section was stricken out, as also was the appropriation to the investigating committee into the affairs of the Reading Coal and Iron Company. The Bank bill is in the Senate committee on finance where some objectionable f'tatures will be stricken from it, and the bill reported to or pushed rapidly to a final passage. This has been a dull week. We hope to have something more interesting to commu nicate in our next. Honor in His Own Land. Says Comely in his recently-issued work, The History of New York State, "The day has passed when the benefactors of humanity were allowed to live in ignominous poverty—their sacrifices, their labors, unrecompensed. To. day, the benefactors of the people—the men who devote their lives and energies to the interests of humanity—these are the men whom the world delights to honor, and whom it rewards with princely fortunes. As an earnest worker for the welfare of his fellow - men, Dr. R. V. Pierce has won their warmest sympathy and esteem. While seeking to be their servant only, he has become a prince among them. Yet the immense fortune lavish ed upon him by a generous people he hoards not, but invests in the erection and establish ment of institutions directly contributive to the public good, the people thus realizing, in liberal patronage, a new meaning of that beautiful Oriental custom of casting bread upon the waters. Noted in both public and private life for his unswerving integrity and all those sterling virtues that ennoble man hood, Dr. Pierce ranks high among those few men, whose names the Empire State is justly proud to inscribe upon lin- roll of honor. Ambitious, yet moved by an ambition strictly amenable to the most discriminating and well balanced judgment, his future career promises to be one of unparalleled activity and usefulness, ably supplementing the work he has already accomplished, by a life at once noble in effort, enviable in its grand results." While Dr. Pierce's genius and energy have won for him so enviable a position on the records of a nation, having been elected Sen ator by an overwhelming majority, his justly celebrated Household Remedies have gained for him a yet more desirable place in the hearts of a grateful people. His Golden Med ical Discovery and Favorite Prescription have brought health and happiness to ten thousand households. DR. PALMER, of Westerly, R. 1., says : "HUNT'S REMEDY is the most effective med icine I have ever used in my practice, for Dropsy and Kidney Diseases. .1 can safely say HUNT'S REMEDY has almost raised the dead." All Diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder and Urinary Organs, are cured by HUNT'S REME DY. CLARKE'S TOOTH ca s DROPS cure instantly Education for the People of the South. 1. THEIR CONDITION. A convention was held at Atlanta, G a., on the sixth day of the present month, having for its object the adoption of measures for securing from the General Government aid for educational pur poses, or, more explicitly, to memorialize Congress for legislation by which the proceeds from the sale of the public lands may be distributed among the States upon the basis of illiteracy. Every desire on the part of intelligent and leading or other classes in the South to raise the population of that section from its alarming ignorance is certainly commendable; every effort of theirs in that direc tion should be enoouraged, and in their helpless. ness they should receive the co-operation and as sistance of the people of other parts of the Union, to whom the matter is of vital importance, as the intellectual darkness there existing is not less dangerous to the welfare of the country than if it existed among ourselves. It is my intention to present some facts in oonnection with this subject, and, perhaps, to enter into some slight discussion of it, and in doing so will limit myself to such sub-divisions as the present condition of the Southern people in an educational point of view, what they ask, what they need, how they may be helped, and the national duties and responsibilities. Their condition was partially portrayed by Hon. Gustavus J. Orr, of Georgia, president of the Atlanta Convention, in his address on taking the chair, from which I compile some statements He referred to a few of the difficulties under which they were laboring. The property of the cotton States to-day amounts to but little more, in the aggregate, than one-third of what it did before the war. He knew this to be true of Georgia, and thought it true of the whole South. A large body of men has been enfranchised, nearly equal in number to the white population. These persons have no property that can be taxed. The late war desolated the South and impoverished the whites; their resources were reduced two-thirds and they have now a large mass of helpless people to be supported. Statistics ancurately reported to his office show that in the State of Georgia forty-three voters out of every hundred are unable to read their ballots. This is not a worse state of affairs than exists in every one of the Cotton states. Georgia is not worse off than the rest of them. This picture is lamentable enough. It may be be well that it has been painted for us by a South erner. This presentation of the wants and condi tion of that section by one of its citizens may make them more apparent than they would other wise be to us,who,from our distance,cannot be pers onal observers of the ignorance that there so largely prevails. We of the North, who have been accus tomed to seeing every voter examining and prepar ing his own ticket, can scarcely realize that in fifteen States, embracing nearly one-half of the territory now organiZed into States, the ballot is almost as meaningless to forty-three per cent, of the voters as a blank piece of paper. What is to determine the result of eleetionh there ? Not the intelligent exercise of the judgment of the people. There can b.e no snob exercise of jrlgment. Other influences, of which we can only conjecture, must control the illiterate, and, while liberty and gov ernment may be preserved, there are undoubtedly dangers to both. The contest for freedom will not be over until every citizen is intellectually free— until the slavery of ignorance is removed. For the purpose of showing the proportion o persons in the Southern Stetes, ten years of ag: and over, who cannot read, I have prepared the following statement from the last census: Whole number in all the States 4,438,206 In Albabama 349,771 Arkansas Florida Georgia Kentucky 249,507 Louisiana 257,184 Maryland Mississippi Missouri North Carolina 339,789 South Carolina Tennessee Texas Virginia West Virginia 3,531,069 In all the other Statee... Thus, while there are less than four and a halt millions of persons of that class in all the States, more than three and a half millions, oreighty per oent, of them, are in the late slave States, and this, too, in a population of less than fourteen millions, or but little more than one third of the population of the whole country. A distribution of the fund, of which they ask a part, upon the basis proposed by the Atlanta convention, would give them a very liberal share, but it would prob ably not be greater than their necessities. Let us assure a spirit of generosity toward the South, if it be wanting, by the reflection that there is not, perhaps, upon the face of the earth a class of people living under a civilized govern ment that is more deeply sunken in poverty, as well as in ignorance, than the freedmen, or that is more unable, through want of of pecuniaay means or of an appreciation of the advantages of knowl edge, to raise itself from the intellectual degrada tion into which it has fallen, and that the class that most nearly approaches it in inability to pay for educational facilities for itself or others is the recent slave-owners and masters. To wait for these classes to provide instruction for themselves, is to leave bo h in ignorance for many generations. Their powerlessness in this respect, on the one ban , i, is equalled only by their extraordinary need of education on the other. MILTON S. LYTLE. HUNTINGDON, PA.

Ilan) , firm doing busi ness on this continent can afford to "move on" with a splendid reputation through these hard times, this would seers to be the one. It is advertised by an appreciative newspaper fraternity very largely without charge; yet in view of all these facts, the list sent us for use next month, for which they pay a fair price, in money, by the inch, is devoted largely to their own business. The order takes us somewhat by surprise, and it would reassure us if we were disposed to doubt the wisdom of pushing business through the hardest times. We add for the benefit of the Thomases who may read that Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell St Co. come nearer knowing all about the advertising busi; ness than any other firm, haying handled millions and millions of dollars thus appropriated. Another feature worth noting is their liberality with "Uncle Sam." They have doubtless expended more money for postege during the last quarter of a century than any other firm in the United States.—Chattanooga Times . s vf :ET oso NAv y Cbe - ° EV Tobacco Awarded highest rise at Centennial Exposition for jthe chewing qualities and excellence and lasting ohm odor of sweetening and *soaring.
