You, dear old Santa, come to-night- And stuff our bags quite full and tight; You’ll find them very wide and deep. We made them so to bold a heap. For fear you may not find the ifay, I write to you this very day, • Ho you can come to us direct, And bring us all that we expect. We live not far from Palmer's mill: My grandpa calls our place Hope Hill. You'll see wallets, four in number. Please, sir. fill them while we slumber. The largest one that you will see Will be the one that's hung for me ; For I’m the largest of the four, And that is why I look for more. They say I am a right good boy. Who dearly loves a pretty toy ; So if you will your ear incline, I'll tell yon what to pat in mine. Jos; put in all the goodies first. But please don’t let my wallet burst; 'Tie made of cloth quite strong and stout, Ho stuff it till it bulges out; Bat if you find it m not do To hold the toys afidgbodies too, You can put the toys anywhere— On the table or on a chair; And so I'll know which are for me, Please put on mine a great big E. Dear Banta, when you've filled our four, Look aU around, yon’ll find one more ; For olose benide the box of pine. There one will hang for poor "Calline She is a little nig, 'tie true, But ahe is fond of goodies too; And she is Herschel’s nurse, you know, So fill her bag before you go. I have a goat, his name is Billy, Please, Banta, do not think me silly; A collar I want his neck to bind, The very prettieslfyou can find. A trumpet, too, I hope you’ll bring, That will be just the very thing ; For I am like all other boys, I dearly love to make a noise. A watch and chain of you I ask, And, if you please, a painted mask. I will not ask you for more; Keep back something for the poor, For they are God's children, too ; Why should they not look for you ? Help to make their Bad hearts Ught, Ho visit every one to-night; And while you travel here and there, Angels will sing up in the air, Sweetly yen'll hear them now and then Sing ‘-Peace on earth, good wUI to men.” Good bye.

[ Courier-Journal.] The ladies of the Qalt House have complimented Qov. J. D. Williams, of Indiana, with the present of a suit of blue jeans. He will wear it at his in auguration in Indianapolis to-day. The cloth from which the snit was made was tendered the ladies by Mr. S. S. Potter, of the Bowling Green Manufacturing Company. Mr. Potter, in ordef to ac complish hia purpose, fitted np a special loom, and from the finest merino wove the fabrio. It is of indigo color and will not fade. In point of texture, the doth could not be surpassed for excel lence. Messrs. Evans A Fritach, the Jefferson street merchant tailors, made np the suit in a styie that reflects oredit npon the firm. On the day of the ship ment of the suit, the ladies mailed to the Governor the following letter : Galt House, Louisville, Kr., De cember 29, 1876.—7 b His Excellency, Hon. James D. Williams, Governor elect of Indiana— Dear Sib : Desiring to give expression to our earnest and heartfelt gratitude toward yon and oar brethren of Indiana, who, by their man ly and nntiring labors in behalf of the principles of Demoeraoy, were the first to turn aside the tide of oppression end give the promise of hope to our long-suffering brethren of the South, we, the undersigned, Democratic ladies of the Galt Honae, beg leave to manifest to you, and through you to them, onr deep appreciation by tendering to yon aa their representative an inaugural snit of bine jeans, which we think will be appreci ated by the yeoman statesmen of Amer ica. We sincerely hope and earnestly pray that your political course may be as useful to your oountry and as honor- able to you as your past has been, and that when your executive term shall have expired and you return to your constituency the high and holy trust re posed in you, may they reward unto yon the welcome plaudit, “ Well done, thou true, honest and faithful servant Hoping to be present on the occasion of your inauguration, we subscribe our selves, with marks of the highest esteem, yours respectfully, Mrs. J. Cunningham, Mrs. Phil. Cox, Mrs. L. P. Blackburn, Mrs. V. P. Arm strong, Mrs. Rebecca Rowan, Mrs. H. Woolfolk, Mrs. W. 8. Abert, Mrs. J. P. johoeon, Mrs. Emory Low, Mrs. A. W. Johnson, Mrs. Wm. Jarvis, Mrs. John Green, Mrs. John Simrall, Mrs. A. S. Jerome. The suit was forwarded to Governor Hendricks, with the following note, signed by the same ladies : Gai.t Horan, Louisville, Kx., De cember 29, 1876. —T0 His Exeel'ency Hon. Thos. A. Hendricks, Governor of Indiani: Drab Sib—We have taken the privilege of shipping by express to yoor care, for Governor Williams, elect, a suit of clothes of Kentucky manufacture, and a letter expressiveof our sentiments towards him, which you will oblige ns by forwarding to his address. Many of the ladiM contemplate being present on the inauguration. Sincerely hoping the intrigues of your political enemies may fall fruitless, and with earnest wishes of the personal health of yourself and family, we remain, yours respectfully, Yesterday the ladies received the fol lowing reply from Governor Williams: Ikwanapolis, Ikd., Jan nary 8, 1877. —Mrs. J.

JOSEPH A Remarkable Lecture la Boston—An Elo quent Aaswer te.Materialism—Daaiel Web ster's Last Moments—Death Bed Repent anct-Is last!art Immortal. [Boston AdoerUser] was unveiled last Satordayin Central ‘’Park, said to Iffs physi&hn: *T shall die tojiighk” Dr. Jeffries, much moved, re plied, after panse, “Ton are right, air.” rhegorgtrons and jeweled Octo tober Sir* Tolled on artne'OTge of the sea; and' when evening came, the last will and testament of ytmr greatest statesman and orator was brought to hiih for His signature, which fie affixed, and tb en said: “Thank God for strength to db a sensible act f* O God, Ifl lank tbee for all thy mercies.” His family was brought to his bedside, ana his biographer, Curtis, noticing that Mr. Webster war abottt to soy oomtothing which should be recorded, took a seat at s table and caught these last words. Curtis says these were uttered slowly, in a tone which might have been heard through half the house: “My general •ish od earth bar been to do my Mas ter’s wilL That there is a God, all mast acknowledge. I see Him in all these wooderoas works. Himself how wonder ons ! Wbat would be the condition of any of us if we had not the hope of im mortality ? What ground is there to rest upon but the Gospel ? There were scattered hopes of immortality of the soul, especially among the Jews. The Jews believed in a spiritual origin of creation. The Romans never reached it; the Greeks never reached it. It is a tra dition that communication was made to the Jews by God himself through Moses. There were intimations crepuscular twilight. But, but, but, thank God, the Gospel of Jesns Christ brought life and immortality to light—rescued it— brought it to light.” Then the greatest reaeoner ttiis country has produced caused a sacred hash to fall npon his dying chamber, and in a load, firm voice, he repeated the whole of the Lord’s prayer, closing with these words: “Peace on earth, good will to men— that is the happiness, the essence—good will to men.” Another authority, that of his own secrecy, says that in the last week of hia Hie, this man, wliose career you know, often repeated the whole hymn, of which the first stanza ia : “Show pty, Lord; O Lord, forgive, Let a repenting rebel live, Are nof fhy meniies large and free ? May not a sinner trust in Thee ? Webster knew his own need of these petitions. lam not here to say that he lived a Christian life. I raise this morn ing, when Webster is before file nation, the question whether there is any evi dence that he died fepentant, I -hope tnere is. Not many .years ago I sat, on a howling Winter night, at the fireside of John Taylor, in gnarled New Hamp shire, and he said to me:“Webster al ways attended the communion service when he was at Elms Farm. Till his deathJna.was a member of good stand ing with the Salisbury Church, with which he united *hen a yofihg man. “Bat," said I, “was that church strong enough to discipline a statesman ?” “If Webster had shown," John Taylor-re plied, “ anything of intemperance or otber evil ways, in New Hampshire he would have been disciplined by that church. What ha did in Washington I know not. Here among those wh.> knew him beet, he was always ready to kneel at the family altar. There was one hymn that we alwayfl used to like to Hiug together,” said Job 4 Taylor, with bis immense bass voice, apd wholly un conscious of the expression he was mak ing of Mia own massiveness. “We liked to slog together ‘Old Hundred;’ it seemed to fit ns J" The venerable Judge Nesmith, whose gueat I bgye sometimes been at Franklin, has told me things al most tpo sacred to be repeated here, concerning Webster’s religious thought fulness in hia last years. “Were they the last words I have t< utter, said John Taylor, to me, “I should say Web ster died a Christian;” and just this testimony has been given me by the pro found, Judge Nesmith, who stands high est among all authorities epuperuing Webster’s” life' in his native haunts. Your Robert C. Winthrop, at New York, on Saturday, said he had knelt with Webster at the table of our Lord, and witnessed the fervor and tenderness of his devotion. But, gentlemen, a death-bed repen tance is never to be encouraged before the time, nor discouraged at the time. Wbat I wish to insist upon, face to face with all the small philosophies of onr time on both aides of the Atlantic, is the record of Webster’s last speech, re vised by himself. These sentences which Curtis caught are tfee last unre vised speech. But on Sabbath eyeping, October 10, the lawi formal speech was written, and on October 15th, was re vised and signed by Webster’s own hand. These, bis last revised words, stand upon the marble of the tomb at Marshfield. Plymouth Rock looks on them, and they look on Plymouth Rock, Thia is the record Webster left as his last word to men in all ages; and ongbt it not to be copied in marble in some spot more conspicuous than that brown Marshfield shore? “Philosophical arguments, especially that drawn from the vastus** of the universe as compared with the apparent insignificance of this globe, has often shaken my reason for the faith that is in me; but my heart bos assured and reas snred me that the Gospel of Jeans Christ moat be a divine reality/ The Sermon ou the Mount can not bn a merely human production. This be lief enters into the vary depth of my con-’ soienoe. The whole history of man proves it.”—[Cum#’ Life of Webster, Vol. 11., p. 684. At twenty-three minutes of 8 o’clock on the Sunday morning following that Satnrday whioh was illumined by the serioas words on immortality, Webster passed into the Unseen Holy into which all men haste. Boston, sinoe 1852, has been wriDgiag her bands in secret and saying not infrequently, as the plain man said at the tomb in Marshfield; “Daniel Webster, without yon the world seems lonesome.” Are we sure that we are without him ? When Rufus Ghoate took ship for that port where he died, some friend said, “You will be here a year hence." “Sir," said your great lawyer, “£ shall be here a hundred years hence, and a thousand years hence!” [Applause.] If death does not end all, wbat doeß, or can ? If we can demonstrate by a purely physiological argument, as Dra per, Sir Lionel Beale, and Hermann Loize say we pan, that the soul is ah agent as external to tb? cerebral meohan- Redan of materialism, and then the question is whether we can get on in Russia! [Laughter. ] A small critic may oak how the immortality of the soul is proved by showing its externality and its independence iu its relations to the physical organism. The immortality is not directly proved by the proof of the externality and the independence, but it is indirectly made probable. If yon take I-land No. 10 and New Orleans, yon can sail from St. Louis to the Gulf, and thence to any coast you please. If. aa tbe highest philosophy of Germany, Seotlaud, Englaud aud America assert#, our nervous mechanism is wholly inert in itself, and as plainly requires an ex ternal agent to set it in mbfidh as any musical instrument does, then the disso lution of the brain is no more proof of the dissolution of the soul than the dis solution of your organ is proof of tbe dissolution of the musician who plays it. Bat who ho# Gyges’ ring on his finger, and ia invisible# It has, in all ages, been the pretense of materialists that the relation of the soul to the body is that of harmony to the harp, and not of the harper to the harp, or of the rower to a boat, But show me by physiolo gies! axgumoat t]iat ‘.he soul is an agent external to the serious mechan- ism, and you have proved that the rela tion of the soul to the body is that of a harper to a harp, or of a rower to a boat; and in showing that, you have removed, I affirm, net only a great ; but the great est obstacle to the belief in immortality. Unless them is evidence-to the contrary, as there is not, we must believe in the persistency of that spiritual foroe which we call the soul, and this we must do in the some of the scientific principle of the persistence of foroe, itself the most vaunted of all modern points in science. [Applause.] Allow tie, gentlemen, to untwist a little the famons Ariadne .cine, which we follow here in all our investigation— namely, that every change must have on adequate cause. In that one principle tie capenlate a great number of axioms which are at the base of all kinds of re search—theological, physiological, po litical, or historical. Lest von should suspect me of theological bios in un twisting the strands of this thread, take that interpretation of it which the great physiologist, Wundt, whom I have of ten quoted, adopts in his work on "The Physical Axioms in Relation to the Principle of Casuality," abookpubliahed at Erlangen, in 1866. Prof. Wundt says that the principle that every change meat have an adequate cause,* contains in it these si? axioms: 1. All causes in nature are causes of motion. 2. Every cease of motion is external to the object moved. 2}. All causes pi motion work in the direction of the straight line uniting the point from which the force departs with the points npon which its operation is di rected. 4. The effect of every cense persists, 6. Every effect is £pcom panied by an eqnal counter effect. 6. Every effect is equivalent to its cause. Will you .emember, my friends, that the definition of force is this : That which is expended in producing or re r slating motion. That is Meyer's defini tion, and Meyer, if he had never gjven any other proof of genius than this one phrase, wonld deserve to te called a man of great powers. But go behind even this definition, and, for the sake of clear ideas, ask what is expended in pro ducing or resisting motion. Sorely, the only thing we can think of as being ex pended thus is pressure. What produc es pressure ? Your Carpenters, your Agassizes, and your Herschels, your Newtons, your Bir William Hamiltons, your Danas, as well as your Goethes, Richters and Carlyles, all hold that be hind the pressures which produce the motions of the universe is—Will! Mo tion, Pressures. Will—is the universe transfigured ! [Much applause.] This is not declamation, however, but estab lished philosophy of the latest date. Whoever will look into the last chapters of Dr. Carpenter’s Mental Physiology, or at the last sentence of Mr. Grove’s famous essay on “Correlation of Forces,” or into Prof. Agaseiz’s Essay on Classifi cation, or into Sir John Herschel’s As tronomy, or Dana’s Geoljgy, or Profes sor Pierce’6 great work on the mathe matics of astronomy, will find the doc trine unhesitatingly maintained that force is always and everywhere of spirit ual origin. [Applause.] When I was in Harvard University, I went one day into a bookstore and turned over a great quarto on the mathematics of astronomy, by Professor Pierce, and I came upon a chapter entitled “The Spir itual Origin of Force.” I looked into it; and welling up out of that granite of mathematics, I found the Castalian spring of crystalline water, where the Goethes and Herschels and Carpenters and Agassizes and Lotzes and Danas and Richters and Carlyles have drunk ao long. In the transfiguring scientific certainty that all force originates in will, I found that better than Delphic spring, one deep draught of which gives anew vision to the eyes and makos the whole universe a burning bush, of which Orion and the Seven Stars are only a lowermost leaf, bat every fibre of which, near and far, burns with a fire that cannot be touched, and every dusti est path before which is ground so holy that on it we must take off our shoes, however proud of intellect we may be. [Applause.] Take, now, the dootrine that wherever we find heat, light, elec tricity, we infer motions of the ultimate particles of matter as the canse; and that wherever we find motions we infer pressures as the cause; and, that where ever we find pressures we infer will as the cause, and you have the point of view of these six axioms, which, by the way, are not the words of any small philosopher, nor of a theologian, nor even of an ethical teacher, but of a man simply of the microscope and scalpel, adhering in all the labyrinth of modern physiological investigation only to the idea of sanity that every change must have an adequate cause. [Applause ] You say that this is poetry, and so it is; but it is also oold, exact science. You say this is not Harvard University. Are you sure ? Yonder, on the banks of the Charles, sits the most philosophical poet of our generation; yes, the most philosophical on either side of the At lantic; and in the name of Harvard Uni versity, James Russell Lowell might rise and sing what he sang in his own name only yesterday: “God of our fathers, Thou who wast, Art and ehalt be, when the eye-wise who flout Thy secret presence shall be lost In the great light that dazzles them to doubt; We, wfio believe life’s bases rest Beyond the probe of chemic test, Still, like our fathers, feel Thee near.” —[Lowell, AtUmHo Monthly, Deo., 1876. [Great applause,] I hold in my hand an important and enticing book eagerly waited for by me for one, and off which the spray of the gray sea has hardly yet been shaken. It is a volume on “The Functions of the Brain,” jssued last month by Dr. David Ferrier, Fellow of the Royal Society, and Professor of Forensjo Sfedicine iu King’s College, London: and it will need no more recommendation to gen tlemen of the profpssiop, who are per mitted fio know something of living tis sues, and to form and ejpresp opinions after fltiidy as to the great controverted theories ip biology, as po laymen iu science is—except the editor of the Na tion ! [Laughter and applause.] Pro fessor Ferrier is a follower of two great German investigators, Fritscb and Bit zig, and his work and theirs undoubted ly constitute not only the freshest, but the most important of all recent contri butions to the knowledge of all the ner vous system. Let mP ppw, iu the name of the latest research, put befopp you, step by step, an argument exclusively physiological and leading up, as that of last Monday .did, along the line of Wundt’s wholly trem orlesß axioms, to the conclusion that toe soul is external to the nervous mechanism, which it sets in motion : 1. Fritsh and Hitjrig and Pr. ferrier have proved that certain of the convo lutions of tffß brain qf a living animal may be electrically stimulated so as to< produce ip the animal YSpiops physical actions, The stimulation of different parts of the brsip prpdqcffs different re sults, which can be foretold |>y the ex perimentor. 8. The dootrihe of the localization of functions in the brain is now, therefore, placed beyond dispute. When you give a rabbit chloroform ami then remove a portion of its skull, the animalsuffers no pain, and consequent ly does nok jaJl into such contortions as to cause the act of taking away parts of the Bkull to injure the delicate texture of the braiu. We have succeeded at last in uncovering the living, palpitat ing cerebral tjs.sues without disturbing their delicate and rn Lave done this by the use of 'chloroform, not known in the world as an anssthestic until a few years ago. Using electrical cur rents that are just distinguishable by the tip of the human tongue, and em ploying blanted electrodes that will not scarify the nervous webs we touch, we may stimulate the exposed brain of a living animal, and ascetrain that the stimulus on different parts prodnoes dif ferent motions. We may accurately fore tell these motions, after having had a sufl}oient experience in such kinds of experiment#- One particular part of the brain, for in#sppe, will, if stimu lated, produae the attitude of resistance in the apitnal; and another point, if stimulated, will cause the attitude of fear. In short, a large portion of the braiu has now heen investigated in this way so thoroughly that we may affirm that it is a key board op which electricity may play. This effect of galvanic ppyrente on the automatic nervous mechanism is peculiarly evident on the lower auto matic nerve [referring to the blackboard] and you will produce motion in the muscle attached to the correlated centri fugal fiber. fs tpere any proof at all that the whole brain is’a key-board that oan thus be played upon by electrics! stimulation ? A portion of it more closely connected with the spinal cord than the rest is a key-board, but does the law of the auto matic portion extend to the whole mass of brain ? This question is crucial. The nervops meobagiggj js divided into the influential and automatic area, fio s this fundamental distinction hold good under the searching test of electrical stimulation ? 4. It is agreed that the frontal lobes are the seat of intellect. 5. But electrical stimulation of these highest parts of the influential nervous mechanism produces no motion. When there are produced in them by electrici ty suoh tremor® as cause muscular mo tion if they "are produced Jj'y electricity in the automatic arcs', no motion follows in the muscles. This is a fact of vast significance, but there is another of even higher import. 6. If one hemisphere of the brain Jap repfOFP.d paralysis of the powers of motion anff sfepsauuii follows iu 080-h.aU the body. 7. But', eyeffyben one hemisphere of the brain is removed, all the mental operations may yet be fully performed. 8. These results of electrical stimulation and of cerebral in j ary, being opposite in the two cases, prove that physiological causes, such as are concerned in the automatic nervous mechanism, are not to be found in op eration in the influential' nervous me chanism as it is represented by the in terior lopes of the brain. 9. The dis tinction between automatic and influen tial is made broader, therefore, by the lateet scientific research. [Applause.] Let us examine a Uttle leisurely the bearing of these propositions upon the great biological distinction between the automatic and the influential portions in the nervona system. The important point to be notioed [illustrating by dia grams] is that yen may stimnlate with eieetriphj an influential arc here, and yon ao not produce any motion yonder. On tbe contrary, touch the correspond ing portion of an automatic arc, and you move this muscular fibre. Although this mechanism is called automatic, re member that it was ipade so by the bio plasts that wove it, and that a contrac tile quality was given to this musoqlar fibre by tbe bioplasts that wove both it and this nerve, and tied the two togeth er, Apply your electrode to the auto matic arc yog produce contraction, but apply your aleatrede to the influen tial arc ana you produce no contraction. Thera ia, therefore, a difference between the structure of an influential arc and that of an automatic one. We prove this tangibly when we try point after point of tbe brain and of the great nerv oas centres connecting it with the spinal cord, and find that the lower powers of the nervous mechanism ora reflex and automatic, but that these higher frontal lobes are ocularly demonstrable not to be of that sort. When we apply to them I the electrical test which produces mo tion elsewhere, no motion whatever is produced. If you take away one hemisphere of the brain, wbat is the effect ? One-half the body is paralyzed. Th& sensation and tbe motion which belong to the side of tbe body opposite to tbe removed hemisphere are gone. But your mental powers continue, and exhibit in com pleteness all their activities. Dr. Fer rier himself is anthority for the astound ing fact that the action of the mind ia not so bound np even with these influ ential arcs that it can not show the whole army of its powers when yoB take away one whole hemisphere of the brain. If that can be proved, gentlemen, it has been proved tolerably well, I should say,that there is a difference between the influential and the antomatie arcs, or that between tbe two things there is as broad a contrast as between the two scientific names. Just that has been proved beyond dispute. It is admitted by tbe latest science that yon can take away one hemisphere of the brain, and have complete mental action yet remain ing, althongh yon can not take away one hemisphere without paralyzing the’one half of the body. If I show this, I prove tfint there is a difference between the influential and tbe antomatie so wide and significant that all men onght to be able to see it wbo can see anything as broad as a town hall! [Laughter and much applause.] “The physiological activity of the brain,” says Prof. Ferrier, in a most sig nificant passage, “is not altogether co extensive with its psychological func tions. The brain, as an organ of motion and sensation, or presentative conscious ness, is a single organ composed of two halves; tbe brain, as an organ of idea tion, or representative consciousness, is a dual organ, each hemisphere complete in itself. When one hemisphere is re moved or destroyed by disease, motion and sensation are abolished unilateral ly,” that is, upon the opposite Bide, “but mental operations are still capable of being carried on in their complete ness through the agency of the one hem isphere. The individual who is para lyzed as to sensation and motion by disease of the opposite side of the brain (say the right), is not paralyzed mental ly, for he oan still fee), and will, and think, and intelligently comprehend with the one hemisphere. If these func tions are not carried on with the same vigor as before, they at lea-t do not ap pear to suffer in respect of complete ness.” [Ferrier’s Functions of the Brain, p. 257, § 89 ] A great fact this, even when standing alone; but add to it the test of your subtle electrical stimulus, and you find that all that is implied in this distinc tion between influential and automatic is borne out by these two colossal cir cumstances that stimulus on the influen tial arcs will produoe no motion, bnt that it does produce complex motion if applied to the automatic; and the half of the brain may be taken away, para lyzing the half of your body, while the mind continues all its operations. [Ap plause.] 10. Physiological causes do not act where they do not exist. 11. The action of the influential nervous mechanism is not, therefore, originated by the physiciai causes operating in tbe automatic nervous mechanism. 12. But the increase of the meohanism in itself demonstrates that it must be set in mo* tion by an external agent. 13. That agent must be either matter or mind. 14. It is demonstrated that the action of the bioplasts in weaving the brain, and that of the frontal lobes after they are woven, cannot originate in matter. 15. It originates, therefore, in an exter nal immaterial agent. 16. This, which is in part immediately known to con sciousness, is life and the soul. 17. Modern microscopical research, there fore, proves that the sonl is an agent external to the nervous meohanism whioh it sets in motion. 18. This be ing proved, it is demonstrated that the relation of the soul to the body is that of the rower to a boat, or of an invisible musician to a musical instrument. 19. But it has been admitted for ages by materialists themselves that if this is proved, then death does not end all. Therefore, in the present state of knowl edge, the case stands thus: 20. If death does not end all, what does or can ? [Much applause ] “Electrical irritation of the antero frontal lobe%” says Dr. Ferrier, “causes no motor manifestations, a fact which, though a negative ope, is consistent with the view that though pot actually motor, they are iohabitory motor, and expend their energy in inducing inter nal changes in the oenters of actual mo tor execution. The development of the frontal lobes is greatest in men with the highest intellectual powers; and, t iking one man with another, the greatest in tellectual power is characteristic of the one with the greatest frontal develop ment. The phrenologists have, I think, good grounds for localizing the reflec tive faculties in the frontal regions of the brain, and there is nothing inherent ly improbable in tbe view that frontal development in spepiftl regions may be indictive of power of con'centrqtion of thought and individual capacity in spec ial directions.” [Ferrier, Functions of the Ijrain, pp. 287. 288.] ( In this assertion that a four-banked organ has more musical power £han one with a single bank, Ferrier is not falling into jpßteriillisiP- Nor is he adopting the whole phrenological map, of mo.-;t portions of which he speaks with no rp spect, His belief is that anew and bet ter map will be made some day by in finite painstaking. He asserts simply that the keys on which the anthems of intellect are played are in the frontal portion of the brain, and that this an them is at its best when the rows Of keys are the most numerous, on which our invisible musician with Gyges’ ring plays. [Applause ] What of the im mortality of instinct ? A great distinc tion exists between those organisms that are mere automata, or fiaye life but no free wills or conscience, and the higher anfipals which have both the automatic and tfie influential neivous mechanism. The plant apd the auto maton have life, bpt not souls, in the full sense of tfle word. Rut do not facts require us to bold that the immaterial part in animals having higher than auto matic endowments is external to the nervous mechanism in them as well as in man ? What are we to say if we find that straightforwardness may lead us to the conclusion that Agassiz was not un justifiable when he affirmed, in the name of science, that instinct may be immor tal; and when he expressed, in hia own name, the ardent hope that it might be? Go to Agassiz’s graye, in SJonpt Aq burn yonder, and at the side pf the Swiss bowlder which marks the spat etand alone and lead these words of his, and nmauwhile send yopr thought# on ward into the eternities and immensities whither, no doubt, be sent his when he wrote in the face of tbe world this ma jestic inquiry. These are the closing sentences of one of the most remarkable passages in perhaps the most remarkable of his works, his Essay on Classification: “Most of the arguments of philosophy in favor of the immortality of man apply equally to the permanency of the imma ttfrial prinoiple in other living beings. May I not add that a future life i n Which man should be deprived of that great source of enjoyment and intellectual and moral imorovement wli|oj} Result from the popte4jplaion of” Che ftomo nies oi ap organic world, would involve a laipentabip loss; anq fW ¥9 ppt ]°ok to a spiritual concert of the combined worlds and all. inhabitants iu presence of their Creator as the highest concep tion of Paradise?” “It was seventy years ago, In the pleasant month of May, In the beautiful Fays de Vaud, A child in his cradle lay, And Nature, the old nurse, took The child upon her knee. ' ‘Coins, wander with me,’ she said, ‘lnto regions yet nutrod; And read what is still nnread In the manuscripts of God.’ And whenever the way seemed long. Or hie heart began to fail. 6be would sing a more wonderful song, pr tell a more marvelous tale.” —[Longfellow, “On the Fiftieth Birth day of Agassiz.”] What sings she now to this great soul, which has passed into that paradise of which his worthiest conception was that it shoald be a concert of the combined worlds ? One can not but recollect in the sublimity of this passage that this man was born in sight of the Alps. Of French descent, qf Swiss birth, of Ger man education, of American activity, Agassi# is now Qf the bouse not made with hands; and so large was he, that even when in the flesh he appeared by forecast to be a citizen, not of America or of Europe, but of the supreme Theoc racy, in whose presence he hoped to see a concert of the combined worlds and all their inhabitants. [Great applause.] Richter used to say the interstellar spaces ore the homes of souls. Tennyson sings most subtly his trust: “That nothing walks with aimless feet, That not one life shall be destroyed. Or oast as rubbish to the void. When God hath made the pile complete, That not a worm is cloven in vain; That not a moth with vain desire fa ehrivel'd in a fruitless fire.” Is it not worth while for us, standing here at Agassiz's tomb, with Richter on our right and Tennyson on onr left, to pause a moment; and on their wings, so much stronger than ours, to look abroad a little, into this highest oonoep tion of paradise ? A coneert of combined worlds! The Seven Stars have their planets : Orion in this infinite azure is attended by hia retinue of worlds, the lightest feather of the swan, which fliea through the Milky Way, represents un counted galaxies; in the north Ursa Ma jor guards realms of life so broad that thought faints in passing across but one of the eye-lashes of the eternal constel lation as it paces about the pole un wearied ; Aquarius, Bootes, Sagitarius, Hercules, each holds in his far-spread palm of sideral fire innumerab e in habitants. Wbat if Agassiz and Richter, and Cuvier and Milton, and Shakespeare, and that host which no man can number, are study ing at this moment a concert of all the life of Orion and the Seven Stars, Ursa Major and the rest, and of that forgot ten speck whioh we, on this lonely shore of existence, call Earth ? The loftiest exhibition of organic life of all kinds from all worlds and in the presence of their Creator ! Wonld it not be an im measurable loss to be without this con cert of combined worlds ? Would it uot beat diminution of supreme blits not to have union with Ood through these, the most majestic of his works below ourselves ? Shall we, too, not hope that this highest conception of paradise may be the true one ? Richter would say, if he stood here, that he hopes it may be. Tennyson says, as he stands here, that wishes it may be. Must not we, remem bering tbe long line of acute souls who have believed in the possibility that in stinct is immortal, say, that if it be so, it is best that it should be so ? Whether it is so or not, I care not to assert; what ; I do affirm is that the argument for im mortality, by striking against the possi bility that instinct may be immortal, is not wrecked, bnt glorified ! [Much ap plause.] When we close our short careers, some questions that we debate as matters of high philosophy will be personal to you and to me. As we lie where Webster lay, face to face with eternity, and its breath on onr cheeks, there will come to ds as it cannot come now, the query whether the relation of our souls to our bodies is that of harmony to a harp, or of the harper to the harp. The time is not distant when it will be worth some thing to us to remember that they who walk late ou the deck of tbe Santa Maria have seen a light rise and fall ahead of us. The externality and independence of the soul in relation to the body are known now under the microscope and scalpel better than ever before in the history of onr race.' Exact science, in the name of the law of causation, breathes already through her iron li is a whisper, to which, as it grows loader, the blood of the ages will leap with new in spiration. Before that iron whisper all objections to immortality are shattered. [Applause.] If, in the name of physi ology, we remove all objections, you will hear your Webster, when he comes to you and says that a Teacher, attested by tbe age as sent with a supreme Divine Mission, brought life and immortality to light! There is no darkness that can quench the illumination which now riseß on the world. No ascending fog from the shallows of materialism can put out the sun of axiomatic truth. Aye, my friends, in the oozy depths of the pools where the reptiles lie among the reeds in the marshes of materialism, there arises a vapor which as it ascends higher, the snn will irradiate, will stream through with his slant javelins of scientific clear ness, till this very matter which we have dreaded to investigate, shall take on all the glories of the morning and become the bridal couch of God, entering upon a future civilization as the King of Day moves toward the noon ! [Great ap plause.] THE GENERAL WEALTH OF GEORGIA. Cherokee and Cobb Counties—The Oold Fields of the Section# \ Correspondence Carter smile Express.\ According to give you, for publication, a brief acoount of my min eral explorations through a portion of Cherokee and Cobb counties, Ga. The first property of interest I visited after leaving Aoworth is well known in the mining circles of that section as the Sixes. From accounts there have been an almost increditable amount of gold washed from the gravel beds and aurif erous sands of this rich and valuable property, and notwithstanding it was discovered by the Indians long before the Cherokee purchase, ever since that period down to the present time there has been more surface work done on this and adjoining lots, than any other property in the vicinity of the Sixes. Many large nuggets of gold are reported to have been picked up from time to time, weighing as much as several hun dred pennyweights. Col. ghuford, of Aoworth, now has in bis possession a small nugget weighing some thirty-two pennyweights, whioh was found in a heap of gravel during the early part of last Summer. No vein of any conse quence has yet been discovered on this property, though quite a number of shafts have been sunk and considerable moiiey spent to develop a permanent mine. So far, the efforts of those en gaged in this undertaking have failed to accomplish the desired object, and in my humble opinion, the failure to cut a rich and paying vein on this property, is more the want of practical mining knowl edge than capital and enterprise. lun derstand that it is n >w the intention of the company owning the Sixes, at an early day, to put down a shaft some eighty or one hundred feet, at which depth they will be pretty apt to develop the rich and long sought treasure. The ne#t property of importance I ex amined, in this great mineral section, is the Hillhouse 4 Bayne mme, located some three-quarters of a mile, in a southeast direction, from the Si?i 8. A shaft to the depth of twenty feet has been sunk, showing a regular quartz vein some four and a half feet in width and highly impregnated with the' pre eipus stuff. Specimens of ore from this mine have been tested in the city of At lanta, by oompetent parties, showing a yield of twenty-five per cent, of pure gold; but, of course, those were choice specimens,selected from the richest por tions of the vein, and cousequently can not be considered a fair average of the ore. I spent several days on this prop erty, and during that time assisted in making quite a number of tests, and am satisfled that [he ore from this point of the yein will qyeragp, #t thp lowest cal culation, fifteen dollars per tqn. In this connection J would state that anoth er vein has been opened on this proper ty some two and a half feet in width and promises from present indications to be equally as rioh, if not richer than the one first alluded to in this article. This mnie is located on the same metal ic belt running through by way of the Glade and Burnt Hickory mines, and is no doubt the champion vein of the min eral section. I visited several other properties in the vicinity of the Sixes, but will not attempt a description of them at present. *' ffrom tile Sixes I visited the premises of Colonel R. C. Kerr, situated on the Marietta and Canton Road, some three railps from the forme* place. We found Colonel Kejr one qf the most pleasant and affable gentlemen we have had the good fortune to meet during our travels in North Georgia, and we enjoyed his kind hospitality with a relish and gusto characteristic of our former self. The Colonel is one of the most practical farmers in the good old “banner ooun ty” of the State, and his stock of agrir cultural implements [a andof the heat and most approved stifle, and conse quently Bis farm is ih a high state of The object of oqr to, Col. Rerr’s was to hM fWh an 4 extensive beds of magnetic, invited to do through opr worthy and highly qafpemed friend, Major Roddy, who ih one of the pioneer miners cf Ten nessee and North’Georgia; a gentleman of large experience and sound practical knowledge. I must confess that I was surprised ”'poß examination to find such and extensive beds, pp lyads of magnetic iron ovc 9* ®ftch #upefidy and excellent quality, located only a feyy tpe t from the surface, which has been analyzed by the Georgia Geologist and others of Atlanta, and pronounced superior to anything of the kind yet discovered in the Southern States. This valuable property is situated three miles from the Western and At lantic Railroad, and abont one hundred and flfty yard* from the Marietta and North Georgia Railroad, which is now in course of construction, and bound to be in operation at no distant day. There is not a more eligible and sightly loca tion on the American Cent inept for the extensive and profitable manufac ture of steel and e &hl implements, in all their varied and nseful forms and modifications, than is presented on thia desirable and interesting property, and all that ia needed to make it tbe Shef field of the United States is capital, en terprise and mechanical skill. There is much more that I wonld like to say in regard to North Georgia and her great mineral wealth, but for fear I may weary your patience I will desist for the present. Jim O’Farrell, of the Athena Geor gian, was defeated for Tax Collector of Clarke county. We are rather glad of this, for Jeema ia a born journalist, and we would have hated to have seen his light hid under a publican’s bushel. Nothing is plainer, says the La- Grange Reporter, than that the Radical press is trying to antagonize the people of the South against Ben Hill; ana some of the Georgia papers are weak enough to be bambeozled by their enemies. The independent candidate for Ordi nary in Fulton oonnty threatens to con test the election with his successful op ponent on the ground that liqnor was used. There’s nothing like reform, even though it antagonizes the party. In a threatened interview with an At lanta reporter Governor Smith neatly summed up the situation in remarking that “such oold weather had not been felt in thrice ten years.” It may not be inappropriate to say that the reporter, never forgetting his Chesterfield train ing, “bowed and retired.” THE SENATORSHIP. THE HON. BENJAMIN H. HILL Entitled to Respectful Treatment—Fair Play and the Proofs Demanded. Editors Chronicle and Sentinel : Athens, January 4.—The fair and just oourse of yonr journal in regard to the systematic assaults of late made on the Hon. Benjamin H. Hill, and the dis position you have evinced to give him fair play, is strongly approved by your numerous friends in this section of the State. A man of Mr. Hill’s character, of his acknowleijged abilities, of his commanding position in the eye of the nation, honored as he is by receiving the unanimous suffrages of a large and intensely Southern Congressional Dis trict, is 'certainly entitled to respectful treatment. Contumely and abuse in any disoussion is an evidence of a weak ness in the disputant as lack of sound argument in the cause, and when, there fore, such papers as the Eatonton Messenger venture to compare Mr. Hill to a “flat-headed mud cat,” and to charge that with the avidity of this low bred fish ha is hungry for a Cabinet ap pointment, the editor demonstrates that he suffers from a great paucity of happy illustration, and further that his reason ing powers are scarcely richer than his stock of similitudes; and when the Da rien Gazette, with more elegance and equal truth terms Mr. Hill a “vile polit ical demagogue,” a thinking man will conclude that the writer has nothing more at his command than a strong dis like and a roundly sounding phrase, as unmeaning as it is common. The truth is this sort of editorial comment is much more injurious to the respectability and influence of the press than it is to the person who is its subject. The charac ter of these assaults, the spontaniety with which they were awakened to the regularity of their publication; their utter groundlessness,*in fact, have induced a great many people to oonclude that the attacks on Mr. Hill are person al, and some say that they are the workings of a conspiracy to defeat his election to the Senatorship. What has Mr. Hill done that there should be this lugubrious howl from ’ the agonized throats of these watch dogs of liberty ? Is it anything in his previous public record or in his personal character? Certainly not; for these very papers, many of them, were so urgent that he should be sent to Congress from the Ninth District because of his eminent fitness that some men in that District became indignant at what they called outside pressure. Now a bad record is certainly as great a disqualification for the House as for the Senate; so it can not be this. Was it his conduct the last session? No. His conduct was generally approved. True, there was some talk about “ impolicy ” and “ fir ing the Northern heart ” when he de livered that magnificent defense of Southern history from the charge of bar barity and cruelty to prisoners; but this was soon silenced. This brings us to the graveness of the charges of late made against him, and it may be said, without fear of contradiction, that never in the annals of political machination has there been conjured up a charge so baseless, so imaginary, so contrary to the evidence of the facts, so utterly without evidence, as the charge vaguely made against Mr. Hill that he is treach erous to Southern rights and the Demo cratic party. As the lawyers say, there is such an absence of probable cause for this charge that it must be presumed malicious. The charges seem to be based, where they are tangible enough to be understood, upon the faet that some of the Radical press speak in terms of encomium of Mr. Hill, and again that he gave utterance to some objectionable statements in an interview with a New York Herald reporter. The first ground may be disposed of in a word. It is a new thing for Southern men to accept as true anything because it is stated in the Radical press, and yet Mr. Hill is. condemned because the Radical papers have stated that he inclined to Hayes. If Democrats were as gullible as the people who make this charge would have them, how easy would it be for the Radical press, by a false claim or a few well turned paragraphs, to politically damn any man in the Democratic party from Samuel J, Tiiden down. It is quite natural that in the present straits of the Radioal party they should claim all sorts of advantages over the Demo crats, but to make the claim is not to prove it. They have claimed Lamar, of Mississippi; this gentleman! for the reason perhaps that he has just secured a seat iu the Senate for six years, did not deign even to notice the falsehood. They have claimed Hampton—they are laughed at. They claim Mr. Hill and sim ultaneously the Hod. Alexander H. Stephens, about whom false reports seem likewise to have been circulated, tiuds it necessary to publish a card, de-’ nying the existence of any spirit of con cession'on his part, and protesting his continuous adherence to constitutional methods. Hampton, Lamar and Steph ens, as they should do, go unscathed, and Mr. Hill is pommelled to suffer the chidings of the aforesaid watch dogs, and in every note, from the hoarse diapason of the Savannah Hews to the piping treble of the Darien Gazette and Eaton ton Messenger. But it is said that in the interview of Mr. Hill with the New York Herald re porter, he assumed that Hayes might be President; that he expressed his opinion that it would be the true policy of Hayes to fill the Southern offices with the best Southern men; that he thought that Hayes would be better than Grant, and while he believed that Tilden was elected, that he desired the Northern people to understand that the Southern people wished the Presidential question settled in a constitutional way, and with out an appeal to force. This is certain ly all that Mr. Rill said |n this famous interview, and is perhaps seated more strongly donseryatiye in style than in the interview itself. Now, does this make out a prima facie case for the suspicion which is sought to be aroused. That Hayes may beoome President is not a very violent assumption, though we de voutly trust it may never become more. Certainly it is a contingency which may be spoken of in conversation, when it is at this moment agitating the minds of the civilized world. That Hayes is bet ter than Grant seems to be general impression, notwithstanding tpe confi dence in Grant’s nsityio.tisna which seems to be. oherished in a certain jolty pnblic character If he is inaugurated it i* assuredly his true policy to give the Southern offices to the best Southern men. In the statement made by Mr. Hill that the J.onthern people do not desire another war, even to i eat Mr. Tilden, he will be justified by the sober good sense of the entire South. It requires the highest order of statesmanship to avoid war when popular passion is at a white heat. Any fool at the helm of *iate pan l , in a moment. pjenj]pit*lje the fortunes of this ipto an abyss where ruin is inevitable. It is to avoid this catastrophe that we requira *ise and cool heads in charge pf the affairs of goysru W yti, 'th.e Southern people have beep taught wisdom by experience and they know fplf well how to to nt-oid a civil war—a war which, in view of the power of the American peo ple, their warlike character, the strength of their aroused animosities, the abund ance of their resources, and aboyp *ll, the presence in the South pf ap hieSient which would Up? horrors of servile inspyrpptiop to the struggle,’would be come the most fearfpl and terrihle civil convulsion of which history has given an account. i‘We believe,” writes the Mill edgeville Recorder, “ Mr. Hill slanders the people of the South when he insinu ates they would surrender their rights for fear of fifteen-inch shells.” That journal, in seeking to arouse a preju dice, does Mr. Hill very great injustice. Mr. Hill said that Fernando Wood did not fcnow how to appreciate the eorservative influence of fifteen-inch shells, and it is the trnth. Every shell, every rifle ball, every sabre thrust di rected against a Southern heart was a direct pecuniary gain to the North, and while the Southern people are not and never will be pat on the defense of their courage, they have no disposition to become the shuttle-cock between the battle axes of any political parties what soever. We fought our good fight for constitutional liberty in this country, and before we agree to fight another it might be well and graceful to throw the bau and stigma of disfranchisement from our great leader in the first. This then is the head and front of Mr. Hill’s offending. Then on the unsubstantial charges against him. When Wade Hampton addressed his late letter to Hayes, enclosing a copy of his inaugural address, calling his attention to the con dition of affairs in South Carolina, stat ing that there wonld be no appeal to force, expressing the hope that the questions at issue may be set tled by constitutional methods, and stating in the postscript that the settlement of the vexed political ques tions wonld ultimately depend on Hayes or Tilden, he went to greater extent than has ever been charged against Mr. Hill. This letter assumed that Hayes might become the President. It stated to him with this contingency in view the case of Bonth Carolina;it impliedly,in the contingency of Hayes’ inauguration, in voked his aid in the settlement of the “vexed political questions.” Yet Hamp ton receives, and deservedly so, the praise of all, and Mr. Hill,for far less, is assailed with energy and system. It wonld seem to the impartial observer that the attack upon Mr. Hill is person al, and is not influenced by his public conduct. If this be true and the people are satisfied of the fact, it will recoil with force on those who are the actual assailants. - Mr. Hill does not receive anything of fair play at the hands of his assailants. He has positively and plainly denied any inclination whatever towards Hayes. To qnote his own forcible language, he says: .“All intimations of this kind are simply manufactured by sensational hirelings for Republican use and bene fit.” The burden of proving the charge is on his assailants, and they do not furnish the evidence, and yet he must be abandoned by his friends because the Radical press wish it. It is certainly a great hardship and anew evidence of that unoertain tenure whioh even the most commanding characters hold upon the gratitude of the people, if the de voted loyalty of Benjamin H. Hill to Southern principles, his distinguished efforts in their maintenance, his match less intellectual gifts, his late trium phant vindication of our history, are to be forgotten and disregarded upon the evidence of paragraphs written by the same hands and adorning the same col umns with doleful accounts of the Ham burg massacre and the pitiful tragedy of Eliza Piukston. We cannot tell wbat others may think, but in this section of Georgia we demand the proof. Ninth District. “VEGETINE,” Says a Boston physician. “ has no equal as a blood purifie ■.
