INSANITY. ,;3 ?W". §C: I- : &.• i. ii. > P. • { . : ,;r r F' F »'V Kt ONE WHO HAS BEEN INSANE. -' !* .In consequence of overwork, exoite- and mental anxiety, my nervous system had become almost totally pros­ trated, and I suddenly, and without warning, lost my reason. Neither my Mends nor myself had received any such intimations as led us to apprehend a calamity of that kind. So far as we knew, there had-never been any insan­ ity among my ancestors or relatives. During the trial of Guiteau, it may be remembered, the question was raised as to what extent insanity might be re­ garded as hereditary. A distinction without a difference was drawn between inheriting insanity and inheriting a ten­ dency to beeome insane. Few persons, perhaps, are born insane; and few are born with consumption. A man whose ancestors have been drunkards is not born an inebriate. Hut nobody believes It would be safe for him to tamper with intoxicating liquors, because, in all probability, he has inherited a predis­ position to drink. And it one's ances­ tors have been consumptives, the dis­ ease that affected their lungs would, under favorable circumstances, be more apt to affect his than those of one whose ancestors had never had consumption. U a man had an uncle, or an aunt, or a brother, who had suffered from that disease, it would seem to indicate that it was "in the blood." And so, in the same way, as regards insanity. It would not be correct, of course, to say that a person inherited insanity from an ancle or a brother. But the fact that the uncle or the brother had been in­ sane would show that the disease wa& in the family--in the blood--and one, in such a case, would have good reason to be apprehensive lest he himself might have inherited a pre-disposition to become insane from the same source •whence his relatives had derived their Undency. The first that I remember of my at­ tack was while I was rising in a rail­ road car. It seemed to me that the passengers in the forward part were getting tip amateur theatricals. The fact that this did not surprise me, nor appear at all out of place, illustrates Okie curious feature of insanity, and that is its close similarity, in many respects, to dreaming. It is well-known that the strange phantasmagoria attendant upon most of our dreams never strikes us at the time as at all astonishing, illogical, or contradictory, because the critical faculty in sleep is partially, and per­ haps wholy, dormant. And so also is it in insanity. And as a sound or a touch will suggest or give direction to ; an ordinary dream, so everything that occurs within the sight or hearing of an insane man affects him in like manner. Also, he has no more control over his words and actions, when the insanity is complete, th&n a somnambulist. And when a patient comes to himself, after having been insane, he feels as though he had been having a long, and some­ times a very unpleasant dream. Some of my delusions were of a frightful character, and resembled a nightmare more than anything else; but more often they were by no means disagreea­ ble. Of course, it seemed strange to me afterward that I could have been carried away by such absurdities. At one time I thought the end of the world had come, and that the day of judgment was at hand. This was somewhat re­ markable, because I had not for years been a believer in the scriptural proph­ ecies relating, to those two events. Nor had I any faith in the doctrine that there is a hell of fire; yet, in imagina­ tion, I visited that place of torment, and witnessed the tortures of the damned-- without, however, getting scorched my­ self. Some strange conceits, that I had oome across in books, occasionally sug- f isted material for my mind to work on. saw men whose souls I believed had been taken from their bodies, leaving behind the intelligent personal identi­ fy--an idea suggested by a character jlescribed in Bulwer's "Strange Story." Again, I thought that demons occasion­ ally reanimated human bodies after ' death; and this fancy I must have got , from a dramatic work by Bishop Coxe, entitled "Saul," in which the evil spirit Ipnt to trouble that unfortunate monarch reanimated and took possession of the body of a priest whom Saul had slain. I mention these instances as serving to show the dream-like character of ^isanity. I was confined in an asylum, and :he first part of the time I ought I was unjustly imprisoned, I knew not why, and that my friends Were not far off, doing all they could to liberate me. I could hear them, as I thought, talking to me from some place not far distant. Many insane patients, with whom I have conversed, while they and I were canvalescing, have told jae that they also have heard similar voices, and been deceived much in the same way. This is called "false hear­ ing." Since my recovery I have had Several attacks of it, but not to such an extent as to create any delusion. Some­ times, after a day's hard work, or after leading or writing too long, I have heard voices that sounded as though they were out doors, or in an adjoining room, or in the air. I have experi­ mented with them for the purpose of finding out, if possible, how the brain is affected to produce them. They have ted me to believe there is a great deal more "unconscious cerebration" going en in every man's brain than any one is •ware of. While listening to these Voices, and conscious all the while of the fact that they were purely imagin­ ary, I have heard remarks that aston­ ished met What was this -but the pund surprising itself by its own com­ munications ? I have heard long con­ versations at such times, and when, for the sake-of experiment, I have for the moment treated them as realities; I have received replies that staggered me for the time being, and almost led me to believe that some intelligent person was talking to me. There can be no d|»ubt that there have been many peo­ ple who, without knowing it, have been victims to false hearing, and have honestly thought they were hearing the voices ot their disembodied friends, weile in fact they were being deceived by an unconscious mental action going en in a disordered brain. Insaity does not change a person's character as much as is usually believ­ ed. A distinguished English physician has said that, if there be anything in this world that is immutable it is char­ acter. We meet with illustrations of the truth of this assertion almost every day. "Conversion" is believed by many excellent chtirch-people to work a complete change for the better in a man's moral nature. But has any one seen a mean, close-fisted, narrow-mind­ ed man become, in consequence of con­ version, liberal and generous? I trow not; and so even insanity seldon alters a man's nature much. For instance, the insane man may imagine people are plotting to kill him; he fancies he hears threats, and thinks he sees motions to carry them into execution. Now, if he be naturally a timid man, and a non- combatant, he will run and try to es­ cape ; but if he is courageous by nature, and inclined to fight, he will act just as he would were all the circumstances really just as his disordered imagina­ tion pictures them. Compare the num­ ber of murders committed by insane men with those committed by men un­ der the influence of alcohol, and the lat­ ter, in proportion, will be found to be greatly in excess. For my own part I would sooner tmst my life with an insane man than with one whose brain has been inflamed by over-indulgence in the liquors sold in the saloons and grog-shops. Before a person becomes insane there are two symptoms that almost invariably mani­ fest themselves, insomnia and constipa­ tion. All the° testimony I have been able to collect upon the subject goes to show this; and I have made very ex­ tensive inquiries. There has never been a single case brought before my notice, where the patient's mind was much drawn to any one subject, that it did not, to a greater or less extent, pre­ vent his sleeping, and always enough to excite the attention of those about him. For my own part, although I believed Guiteau to be a "cranky" individual, of very peculiar mental characteristics, I never thought him in a sufficiently abnormal condition to be called insane, and principally for this reason, that with all the intensity of his purpose to shoot President Garfield, notwithstand­ ing the "pressure" he alleged he felt upon his mind, he was never known to lose a night's rest. He himself said that he always slept well. He would have been up and down in his room all night, and would have been a nuisance to any one trying to sleep in an adjoin­ ing apartment. Nor did Guiteau suffer from constipation. The absence of either of these symptoms would have been sufficient to occasion distrust as to his insanity; but the lack of both, to my mind at least, furnished conclusive evidence that he was a responsible man. If patients could have more out-door life, could move about in a flower-gar­ den and breathe the fresh air, and bask in the sunshine, more than they possibly ean while they are penned up in wards, they would improve mentally and physi­ cally more rapidly than they do. I do not know of any more depressing influ­ ence within the range of the possibilities than that which settles upon one who has recovered his senses in an asylum, and is retained there until he recovers his health. The possibility of recover­ ing one's heatlh, surrounded by insane people, is what I have always doubted, and why I insisted upon leaving as soon as I did; and I never look upon such an institution without a heartfelt pang for the many sad and wretched beings I know it must contain; and with this comes the still more horrible thought that there may possibly be among them some one, who, in all justice and right, should be as free as I myself.--Popular Science Monthly. ^ A Land of the Dea|§: - China, says a recent traveler, is al­ most everywhere a land of dead. For thousands of years the inhabitants have been assiduously employed in burying each other. In the north there are few graveyards, and the person who dies is placed in the most convenient spot which offers itself, and that may chance to be in the center of a field of rice or on the roadside. If his relatives be rich they at once raise a hoge mound of earth over him; if they do not hap­ pen toliave a great amount of disposal funds they put the coffin down! in the field or on the roadside, thatch it with a little straw, and leave it till the money for a mound can be got together; or they erect over it a little structure of loose brick and tiles. The wind and rain do their work, and so the traveler sees all over the landscape mounds of earth flanked by exposed coffins. City and Country Schools. In an article on the superiority of city schools over country schools in the State of New York, the Albany Even­ ing Journal says: "The true peda­ gogue does not teach in the country schools now so often as he did fifty years ago. Academic scholars and normal graduates are not found there either. Country school teaching is a poorly-paid make-shift at the best now­ adays, and the country boy and girl are cheated the worst on account of it. Be­ sides. city schools cover a period of over forty weeks, and rural schools bnly twenty-eight weeks. It is true there are only seventy-six log school-houses left in "the State, but the old frame structures contain thousands of 'sticks.' The city scholar has much the best of it, and he does well if he takes advantage Of his opportunities." Provisions in the Constitution. Every man has his favorite story, and the Hon. Roswell P. Fowler tells the following: "One day an.old negro, clad in rags and carrying a burden on his head, am­ bled into the executive chamber and drouped his load on the floor. Step­ ping toward the Governor, he said: "Am you de Gubner, sail?" Being assured in the affirmative, he said: "If dat am a fac\ I'se glad ter meet yer.

There is associated with the cultiva­ tion of rice a general impression that deadly diseases are the resultant con comitans. The rice swamps of the Southern States of the Union are ever described as the breeding-places of death, and workers therein are con sidered the most unfortunate of the great millions of the class who have to labor to live. Undoubtedly the rice- producing sections of the United States are more prolific of disease and death than any other section of the country; but here there seems to be as much immunity from the ills of sickness among the rice-tillers as those engaged |n any other department of agriculture. The people who cultivate rice every year of their working days show as fine- developed bodies and as ruddy coun­ tenances as can be seen among those engaged in other occupations. The home of. the rice farmer is not in the midst of his fields, but it is placed gen­ erally on the ground that is some­ what above the level of the overflowed lands. Isolated farm-houses are the exception and not often seen, but groups of inhabitants are to be found clustered together amidst the generous protection of venerable groves on the skirts of the hills inclosing the valleys. The Japanese is eminently sociable in his character, aud he is partial to the companionship of his fellows He is fond of gossip and chat, and an isolated life does not harmonize with his dispo­ sition.--Letter from Japan. One Mass of Misery. One of the greatest causes of misery among the working classes is early mar­ riages. Thousands marry for what is called love without the least comfort. The poor wife is continually at her wits' ends how to make both ends meet; the care, the misery, the suffering she lias to go through, is impossible to describe. The family is continually living from hand to month, the husband fears to be out of work, he cannot look the future in the face, and there is nothing left for them to do but a con­ tinual struggle against poverty. Home to them is not a home; it is only a name. If the husband happens to die the wife and children are left utterly destitute, nothing for them but the poor-house and the paupers' grave. The very love they have for their chil­ dren makes them miserable. Will love make these poor people happy? I say, no. Love can never make people hap­ py under such circumstances. John Bright says: "It is one mass of misery from the cradle to the grave."--Cor. Detroit Free Pre**. Magic Copying Paper.

Among the higher animals the fac­ ulty of direction is by no means an uni­ versal gift; sheep, cats and monkeys lose their way as easily as babes in the woods; chickens can be transferred to a neighboring farm without fear of their returning to their native roost. What special faculty can constitute *the supe­ riority of a dog over a cat, or of a car­ rier-pigeon over a gallinaceous fowl? The idea that a home-bound dog travels by memory is not always tenable Like a bird, he will often choose a bee-line, and distance seems te make but little difference. In the test-experiment of a Kentucky sporting-club, a pointer, set. 3, was drugged and taken out on a night train of the Cincinnati Southern rail­ road, not only a full hundred miles be­ yond the range of his former rambles, but by a route (after leaving the depot) that must have impressed him with the idea that his captors had abducted him in a northerly direction. In a stubble- field, surrounded by woods, and out of sight of any landmarks he could possi­ bly have recognized, he gave the exper­ imenters the slip, but four days after he was, nevertheless, home. If he ranged the country at random, the probabili­ ties were a million to one that his search would have outlasted the wanderings of Ulysses. Steering by memory was in this case out of the question. Was he guided by a "sixth sense ?" Or by the sense of smell? The distance, in an air-line, was about 150 miles. How many intervening objects--Lexington breweries, swamps, woodlands, thou­ sands of blue-grass farms and cattle- pens--must have disguised the scent of an atmosphere he could have recognized. And, beside, is there a doubt that he would have finished his trip as quickly if his objective point had been a cottage in a solitary nook of the Alleghanies, instead of a reeking factory-town? Nightingales, in their South-Spanish winter-quarters, can certainly not smell the hawthorn hedge of their North-Brit­ ish summer home. Yet t&ey return, and, probably, like cranes, by the shortest route. Anatomists know that in birds the organ of smell is very imperfectly devcloped; their nostrils are merely breathing-apertures,and watching them at their meals leaveB no doubt tbat they are guided by sight in picking every morsel of food. Hens cannot detect food in a hiding-place; they cannot smell concealed earth-worms, but have to scratoh at random and* use their eyes. In exactly the same way tame vultures clean up the meat-market of Vera Cruz. They hop about and peer left and right for scraps and offal: their eyes are everywhere; their sense of smell does not help them to detect a single morsel hidden in the dust, for instance, or under the bottom of a light basket that would not intercept the scent. How do they find a carcass ? A hound, hunting by scent, keeps his nose down, and would not promote his purpose by climbing a mountain and sniffing the air from the summit A vulture rises above the clouds. If he had to hunt on the canine plan, he would skim along the ground. High in the summit-regions of Mount Antisana, Bonpland saw a condor at an immense elevation, above him: and even the Texas zopilote, a near relative of our turkey-buzzard, ascends to a height of four English miles, and, as it would seem, far above the tinted atmosphere of the lower world. Yet, even on days when there is no zopilote in sight, half an hour after a mule has dropped on the loneliest bridle-path of the Mexican Cordilleras, a pack of aerial hounds are sure to put in au appearance. It mat­ ters not if the accident has happened on an open table-land or in a deep mountain-glen, or even in the woods. Watching the sky from an open cliff, a speck may be discerned lfere and there on the distant horizon, slowly but steadily approaching, as if drawn by an invisible cord--intuitively, in default of a better word. But whether that in­ tuition operates by a gaseous or optical medium, remains an unanswered ques­ tion. One point might, perhaps, be decided by manufacturing an absolutely odorless sham-carcass, and trying whether the mere sight of the counter­ feit banquet would attract the guests. --Lippincott's Magazine. Colored Walters. "Colored men are the best waiters; they are waiters by nature, and are peculiarly adapted to servitude," said the proprietor of one of Chicago's most prominent hotels. "Colored people are not ambitious, like Caucasians, and they are not always scheming and plan­ ning for better positions. No matter how incapable a white man may be for any other occupation he always con­ siders that he is al>ove being a waiter, is never content, does not take proper interest in his work, and is generally looking out for a better position. On the contrary, the colored man is satis­ fied--he has reached the height of his ambition when he has been employed at a first-class hotel and can wear a Steel-pen broadcloth coat and a white vest." "Do they get good wages?" , "Head-waiters get from $60 to $75 a month; second waiters, $40; third waiters, $30; general waiters, $25; and Captains get $2 a month extra. Board is included, but not lodging. A first-class head-waiter can always get $75 a month, which, with our excellent board, is almost equal to a bank clerkship. The first-class restaurants pay waiters $1 a day; and there is our greatest trouble; their hours are twelve or fourteen, while ours average ten, with very little to do during late supper hours. The colored waiter will come to the office and say that he wants to visit his sick mother in Cincinnati, or go to see his wife ih St. Louis, and must quit. He prefers to tell this lie rather than the truth, yet he knows we do not believe it, and that if he really were to tell the truth we would suspect something else anyhow. If we discharge a colored waiter it does not affect him in the least. He will take it philosophically, really appear as if he were relieved, and in a few days will turn up at some of the other hotels as a waiter in all his assumed dignity. A white man will be indignant, then despondent, and per­ haps not find a' situation for a month, but the colored man always gets in somehow. "No; they rarely go to second-class hotels or cheap restaurants," continued the race delineator. "Dignity is every­ thing with them. The average African must be in a first-class hotel, where he can wear a white vest; otherwise he will act as chief bottle-washer in a bar­ room or work for a private family at much less wages than he could get in a second-class hotel or cheap restaurant. This he considers in a measure retire­ ment from life. And, again, the cheaper'restaurants and hotels largely employ white labor, some of which is very cheap. White and black waiters cannot work together in a dining-room. It is something like an oil and water mixture. There is a feeling of superi­ ority on one side, and while the blacks feel their inferiority as to white people they assert their equality in instance. But separately thi separately the colored 3Ul world; and really are the only pei waiters are undoubtedly the best in the j are the only people qualified for waiters."--Chicago Trib­ une.

Wool. London has long been the great wool market of the world, but indications now are that its precedence will ulti­ mately be lost, and that may be the case within a few years. Australia alone has been furnishing that market over 200,000,000 pounds of wool per annum, equal to two-thirds of the home clip of the United States. But Austral­ ian wool-growers and dealers are now considering the feasibility of dealing directly with their customers, instead of leaving a large annual commission in the hands of the capitalists of the great metropolis. So it is likely that the day will come when the wool sale of London, will not control the wool markets of the world to the extent they have here­ tofore. ' Ctontly Does It.
