The average weight, of brain in
various races is said to be as follows:
English and American, 45.7 ounces:
French, 44.6 ounces; German, 44.1
ounces; Italian. 44 ounces; North
American Indian, 44.4 ounces; Hin¬
doo, 42.1 ounces; Kafiir (African).
45 ounces; Negro, 4.05 ounces; Bush¬
man, 38 ounces; and Malay and
.Oceanic race, 39 to 48.7 ounces.
This nice computation may be eo - -
l’cct, but it is worth while to remem¬
ber that the quality of a man’s is as
important as its quantity. “A little
farm well tilled,” especially if origi¬
nally fertile, may be more produc¬

A lot of “boys” were sitting a
rouud the stove the other night a
hout toil O’clock, talking of early
times, business, how they got their
start, and kindred subjects, and dur¬
ing the talk young Adolphus walked
in, looking very solemn. “Hello,”
said one of the old fellows, “here's a
kid; let’s hear how he got his start,”
and Adolphus, not knowing what
the subject of conversation bad been.
and keenly fooling his recent sor¬
rows, tenderly folded bis bands be
bind him and moaned: “AA’ell, d

off the front porch with his boot, a

enough respect for my family not to
ask me how I got my start.”

AA lio Saw it First.
The question of who discovered
the present comet has become a
most momentous one. Over 500 per¬
sons have laid claim to the honor
and the AA'arner Prize of $200, and
all of them are within comparatively
the same time. It is desirable that
no injustice be done in this matter,
and to this end all parties who saw
the comet during the week ending
June 25th, or previously, will please
forward their claims without delay
to Prof. Swift, Director of the AA' ill - -
per Observatory, Rochester, N.
It is certain the discovery was made
bv a private individuai, but who

CHAM* .JURY PRESENT¬
MENTS.
AA'e the Grand Jurors chosen and
sworn for the March term 1881 of
the Superior Court of Johnson coun¬
ty beg leave to make the following
general presentments.
First we believe it to be oar duty
as a people to bow in bumble sub¬
mission to him who rules all things
well and thank him for all of bis
protection. AA'e submit first the re¬
port of the County School Commis¬
sioner as follows:
AA'rightsville, March 28th., 1881. The
Acct. of the County School Commissioner.

Examined and approve by thcGruud Ju-
1 r v ’ -'birc.Ii term, 1881.
-
AA’e recommend that J. P. Kennedy
and S. A. McWhorter be appointed
:ls members of the County School
' Hoard ot Education.
AV'e recommend that the County
Commissioners have at once the
Court House and jail recovered and
all other necessary repairs done on
the jail to make the same safe and
comfortable for those who are so un¬
fortunate as to be the inmates there
of.
Iii view of the vast expense
that might, and has been curtailed
upon the tax payers of our county,
we would most earnestly recommend
that tin; county authorities liavi
erected a Poor House, and a small
farm attached thereto, at, the near
cst and most suitable place that can
be purchase for the above purpose
to the county Site, having a spe¬
cial eye to the health of the location
as well as the economy of the conn
ty.
AA’e have examined the Dockets
of the Notaries Public of the 130lst,
dis‘„ G. M. Also of the 5(l(h, and
1203rd, and find them neatly and
correctly kept.
AA’e do most earnestly enjoin upon
ih * County Commissioners the im
portent duty of looking well afloi
the Road Commissioners of the sov
district-'. l*n«s -. <!...» -t
lies are faithfully carried out and all
of the several Public roads kept in
good order. This duty we regret to
say lias been sadly neglected.
Also wo find from dereliction of
duty, Snell's bridge in a dangerou
condition. AlsoGumlogarid Hutch¬
inson bridges and recommend that
they be repaired at once. 1’ rom
report of the committee to examine
records, we find the Ordinary's and
Clerk's books neatly and property
kept, reflecting much credit upon
(] ' u , past as well as the
j incumbents. AA'e recommend the
| per authorities to have another book
\ ( . ;lse sufficient in size to hold the
: books belonging to the Ordinary’s
I office. Said ease we would
mend to be put up in a workman-like
manner.
AA'e would also say that not
standing the prolonged term of our
Court, circumstances are suelt that
we cannot get access to the
: ei s and Sheriff s books, i heretore
!we appoint AV. AV. Mixon, J. M.
! Mason and AA'.N. Burns as a com •
mittee to examine the books of the
Treasurer and Sheriff and make their
report fit the September term next
of this Superior Court.
In taking leave of his honor R.

Random Opinions.
Colliding lias now an excellent op¬
portunity of revising the opinion
which he has heretofore held of his
own greatness and importance.
Familiarity with Grant will not
lessen the contempt which the Mexi¬
cans have for the “Northern bar¬
barians.”
There is a contest between Grant
and Platt to see which shall be Conk
ling’s “Friday.” This would make
the Gobbler happy but for the ca
lamity of low-roosting into which he
has fallen.
The Union of the States is a busi¬
ness arrangement, and it is absurd to
look at it from any other standpoint.
The requisite number of the States
can change it at will.
It would be much better for New
England to go to Canada than for
Canada to conic to New England.
It would be a glorious privilege to
be permitted to look upon Dawes
and Hoar as foreigners.
The Republicans of North Caroli
na art* iu favor of free liquor, but
they want the treasury funds ri*.s
Irieted to their own private use.
Tie- treasury department of th c
1 nited States is a sort of close cor
miration. Its doors are shut against
intrusion of honest officials.

The “Bourbons” are a terribly

that, being aii imaginary folk, they
can be cursed with impunity. It is
a silly pastime, but it lias the virtue

The world will some day get even

If the prince of AV ales lives long

There will be no monument built
