ALBANY REGISTER. t IT. ft. OSSrlal Paper for Oreeroo. SATURDAY. JUNK 27. 1S74. A New York reviw of the world's markets, June 16th, states that Great Hrilain wi 1 have an avcraze yieM. The new from Russia is, in general, 'avorable. Tn some parts or Germany the erain crop will lie somewhat short. Bel gitim and Holland will have a fair crop. Ilnnsarv will fall off almnt I . i twenty-five per cen., and Austria will also give less than the average yield Altogether, the prosimt, to far as Europe is concerned, is favorable for very ne.tr a- average yield. It is too early yet to forecast the yield of other foreign grain growing countries. The Oregohian gives currency to a statement that the surprising Democratic vote of 'ohimbia t Winy was procured in this win: '''he authorities at St. Helen designated two polling plnx fur Nel-aleui precinct ; Mial they ptiled tisi no tices thereof in conspicuous pilots, and afterward- sent p.;!l 1 .oks to another, a third place wl.icb liad not been advert iswl. W hen tlie aforesaid "autboritie'' came to can vass the vote for Nehalem, tl ey threw out the returns from the le gally appointed polling places and counted the voes from the iolliug place that had never been designa ted. Of course, no one will be puzzled now how it was that Co lombia came up (a'ter the first re ported official returns) with a largely increased Democratic majority. It was the easiest and simplest thing in the world. The private tide jobber judges just "fixed" the vote to suit the exigencies of the occa sion. The particular necessity or this election "on the side,' was to secure the election of the Democrat, ic candidates tor Judge and Sheriff. They have some respectable land holders in Scotland. Iu Elgin tie Earl of Seafield owns 96,721 acres, of the annual value of $105,000; and the Earl of Fife 40,959 acres, of the annual value of $93,000. The two estates embrace nearly half the land of the county. In Forfarshire the Earl of Da botisit owns 130,002 acres, of the annual value of $275,000; and the Earl of Airlie 66,000 acres, of the annual value of $108,000, the two cum prising a third of the county. In Aberdeenshire there are five estates of over 40,000 acres, via., the Duke of Richmond's, 69,660 acres, annual value $128,000; the Earl of Fife'i 139,829 acres, $88,000; the Mar. quia of Huutly's, 80,000 acres, $56,. 000;and Colonel Farqulwrson's. 87,. 745 acres, $47 ,000. The Queen's es. tate at Kalraoral contains 25,350 acres, of the annual value of about $11,000. The rrioce of Wales hasa paltry 6,800 acres, worth $4,000 a year, which is hardly worth count ing.

Catching cold is "as easy as ly ing," but to explain the pathology thereof is by no means so readily done. Dry air has very little pow er to ah-tract heat, if it be stil; hut a slight wind, trom the con. tact of fresh particles of cold air on the surface of the Uidv, soon car ries off its heat. If there is much moisture combined, the chilling effect readies its maximum. Ex perience has shown that it is not so much the absolute townees of tern perature which gives rise to colds. as sudden changes from a higher , , i ,. mmm . r,, . to lower. I lie reason of tins wa m understood until Dr. Rosen thal explained it. When the sur face of a hea thy animal is exposed to coM t lie cutaneous vessels con tract, and by thus confining the hhssl to the interior of the Is sly, prevent its cooling, and preserve the lemierature of the vital organs, unless the application of coM be continued tor a considerable time. I his is not the case, however, when the animal has lieen previously ex Iomi1 to warmth. The cutaneous vessels beeotnO jwra yud by the Lent., and remain dilated even after the CL-ld has been applied. The bliss! is thus- exK.sed over a large surface and becomes rapidly cooled, even though the temperature of the surrounding medium is not very ow. in I'osenthal's exjieriinents, ani mals were kept from 97" to 104 ' . arci.hei. i he teniieralure of the animals themselves quickly rose during their contintfiie I to 111 or 113w. After tlieir removal it not oidy sank to the normal tem perature, but even be ow it, an that an animal which was from 108 to 111" iu the warming apralus fell to 1)6.8", and remained at that for several days, although the room iu winch it was kept was moderately warm. Confinement in a dose office, hot theater, or crowded ba I- room, will have a similar effect on man. From such places people pass out into the cool, opeu air, or sometimes wen purposely station themselves iu a draught, 'the ulood, which is coursing through the dilated vesse's of every part ol the surface, is rapid y cooled, and, oil its return to the internal organs, coo s them much more quickly than it could have done had the person simply been exp sed to cold with out dilation of the vessels by pre vious warmth, Rosenthal lays much stress on the great effect of sudden cooling in bringing oil a cold, the sudden change iu the tem perature of the blood producing an yrritatiug effect, and inducing in flammation in any weak organ m a way that a gradual alteration would not do. It would seem, however, that the alteration must be from a temperature above to one below the normal temperature of the blood, and not a mere reduction from one considerably above the normal to one at or near it. When much heated we may stand for a short time in a cool atmos phere with impunity; but it we stand long enough to produce shiver, we run a great risk of cach ing cold. 1 he tact that it is more dangerous to lit tor a long time in wet clothes, appears to indicate that a considerable and a more gradual cooling, such as may then occur, will produce similar effects w a siignt cooling suddenly eHectea by exposure to a cool draueht. af- ter being in a chill, iu causing Sit flammations and may be partly ?ne to the effect of cold on the tissues theaasekfes, gad pertly to the con. gastkm which will occur &i some parts when the blood is driven out of others by the contraction of their ascribe tlte chief power to tlie tor mer cause. Everybody knows the beneficial effect of odd rsttbs. odd sponging, etc, iu "liarden ng" per sons as it is termed, so that they are able to fate almosfjRuy weather and to endure sudden fhanges of tern perature without injury. Rosen thai considers that the frequent sp plication of odd water or oml air increases the tow of the cutaneous vessels, so that they do not become so much relaxed by heat as to lie unable to com met with sufficient force when iiecAwary. The swer of egiilating the temperature is thus preserved, and the ierson pre vented from catching odd. On ii Mr Brains. Not long since we not:col some of the maiiu.ll eviis resulting from the customary repression of the left hand, and advocated, on physical grounds, its culture equally with that of the riulit hand. It seems that there are not less cogent men ta reasons for developing the two sides of the body impartially. It is comm.! to 1st well known that mental development is the re sult of properly directed physical training; that tlie brain grows in size and jiower by the varied exer cise of the sense- and the will in me chanical employments qntie as read idly as by purely intellectual efforts iu study or otherwise. It is equally well known to physiu'ogirfs that most men are one-sidol iu their head as iu tl.eir bodies. I he two halves of the brain are rarelv dexel- ied symmef rioil y, as may be rap. idly seen iu the conform-" or head measures amiiiiulatod by hat-makers Hipp yh gii dividual customers, f'o some extent the difference in the contour of the two side of the head may be due to unequal pressure on the nurses' ami, or to the habit of lying chiefly on one side while sleep, ing, thus causing permanent dis placcmc t of the walls of tlie skull; but the main reason appears to be our one-sided lubtt in educat ion. Iu his fourth lecture before tlie Lowell Institute, Huston, Dr. Hrown-Sequard .observes that the study of the tacts relating to the brain has led him to brieve that "each halfof tlie brain paradoxical as it may seem -4s a whole brain," each lobe lieiiignormnllyoimpetent l perform all the functions of both, Hit so vigorously, of course, as the two acting to gether, yet wit h ap parent completeness. U iifortniiate ly, however, the most of ns are sin g'e brained as we aie single banded, and for the same reason. We tail I to do what is rea'ly needed to give r i i ttfi i - us iwu winning urn us. "mere is no question," concludes this skillful observer, "that it is our habit of making use of only one side ot the body that consigns to one-half of the brain the right side tlie fac ulty of expressing ideas by speech. It we developed both sides of our body equally, not only would there be the benefit that we could write or work with the left band as well as with the right, but we should have two brains instead ot one, and would not be deprived of the power ot speech through disease of one aide of the brain."
