" If the nerve-force should turn out to be electrical , these Fishes will become eveu greater objects of nterest ; the problem then will be : what determines th . s stonng up of the , force in fishes , which is nowhere traceable in animals ? No part . cular fWy of fishes haa the monopoly : sea water , freshwater , brack . sh * ratcr . each furnishes its species . The only peculiarity umfonnly observed . s thai every electrical fish is without scales ; and they all live in or close to the ' mud and sand of the bottom . Another paper by Dr . Da « b « . t , on The Influence of Vegetable Organisms in the Production of Epidemic Diseases , 1 will , from the nature of the subject , attract many readers : his arguments nre ! forcible in favour of the fungus theory of cholera , a theory which explains - inany of the anomalies of that disease , but which is not satisfactory to many physiologists , resting as it does upon very disputable and disputed hypo-» theses concerning fermentation . This occurs to us as a preliminary difh' culty If cholera be owing to the introduction of a fungus into the blood , ' cheinical analysis should detect in thc blood of cholera patients the presence ' of this fungus ^ fo r if the blood be in s uch a condition as to afford the requi-3 site nidus ° for the growth of the fungus , the growth will be inconceivably 1 rapid and the presence of the fungus unmistakable ; and if the blood be not 1 in the condition of a nidus , then the fungus introduced will not propagate , * will not produce disease .

THE SPANISH CONQUEST IN AMERICA . The Spanish Conqucrtin America , and it , Relation to the ™^ % f * ^ ™* l % ** Government < if Colonies . By Arthur Helps . J- W . Parker ami bon . SrKAKiNO of Lord Hailes ' s " Annals of Scotland " Johnson said , & ir , it is a book which will always sell : it has such n stability of dates , such noerteinU of S ani such Z punctuality of citation » These qualities no one will refuse to the Spanish Conquest , 011 c of thoao laborious works winch only a strons purpose , acting with sensitive conscientiousness , will ever produce fn these Cs of cheap erudition and Second-hand reference . Wo U no BDecial knowledge from which to control the statements made by Mr . Helps , but we have experience enough of literature to know when a man is upcakinc from first-hand or from second-hand , when ho is compiling from the original documents or compiling from thc compilers . It is not alono the Ire qucnt reference . to unpublianed documents winch testifies to the author * diliaence ; the reader feels in every page that the old chroniclers , not tuo modern historians , nre followed . Nor is this visible merely in loot-notcs and ? citations . Tho structure of tho book tells of a thorough recasting ol tue materials iu the writer ' s mind . Ho 1 ms beon at infinite pains to make cloar to himself , and then clear to tho reader , every detail through which the narrative moves . Ho slurs over nothing . Whnt he doos not underatniul , j > o tells you is obscure ; what ho does understand , ho roprosontH in vivid picturcsquencss . Thus , rising from thc " stability of date , certainty oMnot , and punctunlity of citation , " which is indispensable ] as an historical basis , we have a mode of presentation which vivifies tho dry bones of history , nna makea the past ' intelligible .
