THE IMP OF THE PERvERsE.-When we read the
other day. of the suicide of Allen, at Niagara Falls f
occurred to us-though subsequent facts render it i'm
probablethat this perhaps one of those cases where
suicide is simply the result Of impulse coming with
out motive. There are many "selfmurders which are
not to be accounted for either the superstition of
rational cause, or OF any true insanity We know of an
excellent clergyman, of more than usual solidity
of intellect who dsliked to visit Niagara Falls for fear
he should Jump OF the precipice. Whenever he ap-
below was almost uncomfortable.
we once heard another gentleman, distinguished for
scientific ablllty-an Engshman, but now resident in
this country-te incident of the sort in his own life
he had been engaged in prolonged and exciting study
with friend in London and started at three in the NOR
nlng to return to his home the Surrey side of the
Thames AS he crossed Vauxhal bridge he stopped,
ana leaning over the parapet watched the play of the
moonlight on the ripping waters. sense Of peace and
repose stole over HIN, and with it the thought that if
"ace buried beneath that placid surface he should solve
all problems and find rest Before he could anayse his
motives he found himself climbed upon the parapet-
Another moment and he would have been suicide; but
sudden revulsion of feeling came and with strong
effort of the will he threw himself back upon the bridge
and ran in mortal terror to the land.
Many other similar instances might be recorded and
most imaginative men have felt more or less of this i'm
pulse if not to commit suicide, to do other absurd
thing. Only year or two SINCE man deliberately put
his hand under trip hammar and drew it forth man
ged and crushed, at the prompting Of this limp of the
perverse." How this happens or by what ineXpcable
mystery Of the mind it is controlled will perhaps never
be expane but students of suicide have reason to be-
eve that in many unexplained cases this sudden abey
ance of the will is the only assignable cause

STRANGE NFATUATIoN-There is an individual resid-
ing in the neghborhood of Maple Root, New jersey by
the name of Smith, who magnes that he is hundred
years DID, although he does not number two score years
Yet every effort to dsabuse his mind of this singular
fancy has thus far proved unavaing Smith has main
tanned his present notion for three years. and talks of
events which he says he witnessed which occurred long
before he was born. Upon every other subject he is
rational and in his business relations he is uncomOnly
smart He says he will not taste DEATH but is destined
to live on until the end of time

THE LENNON SLAVE CAsE.--0ur readers will
BE- gratifed to learn, by the teleeraphic despatch
from New York, in another column, that the
Court Of Appeals, the highest judicial tribunal in
the State Of New York, have sustained the decis-
ion Of Judge Paine in the Lennon slave case,
thus denying the right Of Shareholders to trans
pert their slaves through free State The case
will now be carried to the Supreme Court Of the
United States where as at present constituted the
decision Of the State courts may bereversed. But
whatever the final disposition of this case. we are
gratifed that the highest court of New York has
not swsrved from the law, or from just regard
for the rights Of man under the influence Of the
unprecedented rulings in the bred Scott case.
