WASHINGTON PETRI FI UD. .
The Sail Francisco Chronicle prints
a letter purporting to come from Wash
ington and dated February 15, in which
the writer says: “We visited Wash
ington’s tomb to-day at Mt Vernon,
Virginia, some twelve miles fronv the
city, down the Potomac, and wo had the
unusual privilege of beholding the mor
tal remains of the immortal Washing
ton Visitors to the tomb will roinetn
her that the west wall of tint same has
for several years been in a falling con
dition and in great need of repair. A
few days since part of it tumbled into
tomb, completely covering the sureophtv
agus of Washington at and also thul of
Martha Washington. In older to re
pa r the damage in a compcteut man
ner, it was f uud ueoeesaay to rent ve
thorn a low feet from their resting
place. The otic contamingMie romaius
of Martha Washington was removed
first, but attracted no attention. Rut
iho unusual weight of the one couiuin
ing the remains of Wu-hington aroused
the curiosity of tho official who was su
perinuuding the work of removal, and
it was decided to open the i-uroophugus
in order to ascertain tho cause This
was done, and the retinitis found to be
petrified ; in fact, a solid stouo resem
bling a btatutc; the features perfectly
natural, with the exception of eyes and
eurs, no trace of which can be seen.
The body is of a dark leathery color,
and tuoy be said to be a soft sand
stone, which would likely break should
uff attempt be nude to remove it from
tho s r.'opkagu*. Edward Baker, at
aged colored man, who baa resided
upon tlie farm since be was a by, and
who assisted in removing tho remains
from tho old tomb to the present one,
informs us that it, is B 8 years since their
last removal At that time they had
rested in tin ir old tomb 38 year-, au!

IDhJiNESS OF THE BRAIN.
There is as much danger of hurting
the brain by id lone-s as byovtrwoik,
ao ordii g to Dr. F irquhaisou’s theory,
;i* he gives it iu tlie Popular Science
Monthly, lie argues that intellectual
power is lessened by the listl ssitcss iu
which the well-to-do classes generally
spend their lives. Under such coudi
liens tho brain gradually loses ita
health, and although equal to the de
mands of a routine existence, is unable
to withstand the strain of suddeo emer
gency. So, when a load of work is un
expectedly thrown on it in its unpre
pared statu, the worst cousecpicneos of
what tatty be called overwork show
themselves. Similarly, a man accus
tomed to sedentary purtu ts is liable
to bo physically injured by taking
very suddenly to violont exonWe.
As to tho am tint of mental work that
may safely bo done, Dr Farquarson
.says : 11 So long as a brain worker is
able to take a fair proportion of out
door exorcise, it may be said that it is
not necessary to impose any special
limits to tho number of hours which fij
devotes to his labors. But when wh :
ts generally known as worry to su p iuto
complicate matters, wbeu cans con
nected with family arrangements, or
witli those personal details which wo
can seldom escape, intervene or wheu
iho daily occupation of life is in itselt it.
fertile source of anxiety, then wo find
one or other of those throe safuguuids
broken dotvu.”
DENSITY OF CHINESE SUPER
STITION.
An instance of this is tho extraor
dinary “Puperman” mania whioli
spread over Central China some tiino
arc, and was attributed to tho machi
nations of certain conspirators, with
u viow to embarrass tho officials ami
orcuto excitement uud ahum which
would facilitate their own operations
if tho occasion camo. They succeeded
in creating u panic, which, perhaps,
from its very intensity, worked its own
euro. People were first of all alarmed
for the safety of their queues; tho
word went round that by some pro
cess of necromancy papermeu were
employed to cut oil the tails of tlio
lto.,'in', and that tLioso who suffered
this loss were sure to bo taken ill and
die within a given period. The polit
ical import scorns to have been the
removal of tho badge of subjection to
the Tartar, but the common people
saw only too necromancy and tho por
tent, au I weto alarmed iu proportion
to tho absurdity of tho superstition.
Hut this gave p'neo to a still moro in
tense terror. Tho paper sprites wero
next credited with descending ou
people during their sleep and produc
ing suffocation. Black cuts got some
how inixud up with papermun in tho
transaction, and while the latter wero
credited with necromantic efb ot, black
eats wero tho uoLivo agents in produc
ing suffocation. The panic was most
intense at Soocho and Weosiu, where
people wero actually afraid to g<> to
bed at night, and work was for some
days praoticrlly suspended. They slept
