TUB FRENCH I’KU/.AR IN SAUDIMA Once, in S inlmi.i, at a village high up in the nmim tains, a pedlar whom we afterwards met in Genua, arrived about Chi islmus during very revere weather. A farmer, whine daughter waslu be married, kindly invited him to make some stay ut his house. The pedlar accepted the invitation, and remained eight or ten diys, kept a prisoner as it were by the hospi tality al bis host, and a perpetual succession of snow storms, lie Was pit-sent at tho wedding, and at the merry making given by the family in the eve-; ning, where he noticed among tho guests a young I man of rather handsome appearance, who attract-1 cd much attention by tho gluoiiiy fierceness ol liio , manner. ! Towards most persons he preserved n sullen si* leacf ; lint he lebixed with the pedlar, lunched and. I liked u great deal, inquired what route he meant to! lake, nml how long it was likely to bo belorohc wus among them again. In due time the pedlar quitted the farmhouse and proceeded on bin way. The country just there was 'cry thinly inhabited, the woods frequent, mid of considerable extent, and boro and thcro were cav. crus of various dimensions. In one of these (ho j pedlar one snowy night found himself compelled In like relngi*.

To this slate* men? we added that Lx*Govdrnor Boggs, former* ly of .Missouri, carried four halls or slugs, in the occipital rogion ofhis brain. Tho Peoria Telegraph publishes these accounts and adds; •'ll’ tins is ah important question, testimony llko plio "following may he furnished from i.his towit," Last summer a lad In a house was struck by n'jh&ll from a huntsman’s rifle at a disiahre, Thd'ball passed through tho cranium a little nhnyG Ihe-temple, and seemed to enter tho brain. The hoy fell upon tho floor and pjul.of the brain oozeiput. The physicians probed to some depth hut cpuld find nothing. They trephined.upon the olherjside, in the direction of tho hall—ihp dura hinterj. \yas untouched, and no traces of the half found. The hny. was soon well and nppears to tally unhurt. Thjit'lnrpp portions of tho hitman brain may bo I'pmoyed without producing death or impairment of thq intellect. Is .well known to the scientific worldi An instance occurred in lilts vionity some yoarsjsiiice. Dr. Addison Hhillio removed from (he cranium of a hoy at Edwnrdsville, 111., whose slviill fhad been fractured, several ounces of the substance of the. brain, with the men hranes at tached, and yel the boy recovered, and. It I* said, maniffsied greater intelligence after, than before the acbidcnl. { On ;lhiß singular phenomena of tlm brain, Dr. Wagon, in a treatise on the “quality of (he miml,” t makes the following remarks: Ono of the most inconceivable things in the nature ol the brain Is that the organ of sensation should, itself ho insensible. To cut, the brain gives no pain, yet in tho brain alono resides the power of feeling pain in any other part of the body. If lire nerve which leads from il to tho injured part he divided, it becomes instantly un conscious of suffering. It is only by ormmunica lion with the brain that any kind of sensalion is produced, yel the organ itself is insensible. Jim there is n cireinnstanco more wonderful still.. The brain itself may be removed, may be cut awayjiown to the corpus calsurn without destroy ing life. The animal lives and performs all the functions which are necessary to simple vitality, hut no longer has a mind, lljcannol think or feel. It requires that (he fund should he pushed into Ihn stomach; once there it is digested, and tho ani mal will over thrive ami grow fat. Wo infer, therefore, that the part of tho brain, the convolu tions. is simply intended for the exercise of the intellectual faculties, whether of tho low degree railed instinct, or exalted kind bestowed on man, the gift of reason.
