MAD people DANCING.

AT Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, near Lon
don, a ball takes place every Monday night,
which is thus described:
| Shortly after six O'Clock the handsome
assembly room, brilliantly lighted with gas,
becomes the central point of attraction to
all the inmates, male and female. who are
considered well enough tn indulge their in
clinatiGns for f-stivity. On the occasion of
our visit there were about two hundred pa
tients present, together with few visitors
and many of the attendants. In raised
| orchestra. five musicians--three of whom
were lunatics-soon struck up merry
| polka, and imme ediately the room was alive
with dancers. In the progress Of this
amusement we could see nothing grotesque
or odd. Had the men been differently
| dressed it would have been impossible to
have guessed that we were in the midst of
a company of lunatics. the mere sweepings
of the parish workhouse; but the prison uni
form of sad colored gray presented dis
advantageous contrast to the gayer and
more varied costumes at Bethlehem, and
appeared like jarring note amid the gem
eral harmony of the scene. In the corners
of the room, whist players-consisting
generally of the older inrfdtes-were seen
intent upon their games; not word was
uttered aloud, not q gesture took place
that would have discredited any similar
sane assembly; yet not patient was FREQ
from some hallucination, or some morbid
impulse.
Among the merriest dancers in Sir Roger
de Coverly was man who believed him
self to be our Saviour, and who wore in bis
hair spike in imitation of the crown of
thorns; and one of the keenest whist play
ers was an old lady, who, while her partner
was dealing, privately assured us that sho
had been dead these three years, and de-
sired as a favor. that we would use our
influence with the surgeon to persuade him
to cut off her head In the midst of such
strange delusions, it was curious to notice
how nationally those who were their dupes
enjoyed themselves; and it is impossible to
deny that such reunions are eminently
calculated to hinder the mind from NOR
bidIy dwelling upon its own unhealthy
creations. 1t is found that the too pro-
longed and frequent repetitions of the balls
somewhat diminishes their interest-an
evil provided against at Hanwell by re-
stricting the time allotted to them. AT nine
precisely, although in the midst of a dance,
a shrill note is blown, and the entire as
sembly, like so many Cinderellas. breaks
up at once, and the company hurry off to
their dormitories.

Oh, do not envy, my own dear wife,
The wealth of our next door neighbor,
But bid me still to, be stout of heart,
And cheerfully follow my labor.
You must know. the last of those little debts,
That have been our lingering sorrow.
Is paid this night! So we'll both go forth
With happier hearts to morrow.
Oh, the debtor is but shame faced dog,
With the creditors name on his collar,
While am king and you are queen,
For we owe no man dollar!
Our neighbor you saw in his coach to-day
With his wife and his faunting daughter
While we sat down to our coyerless board
To crust and cup Of water;
1 saw that the tear:-drop stood in your eye.
Though you tried your best TO conceal it
knew that the contrast reached your heart
You could not help bat feel it;
But knowing now that your scanty fare
Has freed my neck from the collar,
You'll join my laugh, and help me shout.
That we owe no man dollar

SPIRIT OF NORTH CAROLINA.

Extract from IrUing's Life Of Washin gton
Lord CORVALLIS. when left in military
command at tho South by Sir Henry Clin-
ton was charged, it will be recollected, with
the invasion of North Carolina. 1t was an
enterprise in which much difficulty was to
be apprehanded. both from the character
of the people and the country. The origi
nal settlers were from various parts, most
of them men who had experienced political
or religious oppression, and had brought
with them quick susceptibility to wrong,
a stern appreciation of their rights, and an
indomitable spirit of freedom and indepen-
dence. In the heart of the State was
hardy Presbyterian stock, the Scotch Irish,
as they were called, having emigrated from
Scotland to Ireland. and thence to America;
and who were said to possess the impulsive-
ness of the Irishman. with the dogged re-
solution of the covenanter.
1.-The early history of the colony abounds
with instances of this spirit among it's
people. They always behaved insolently
to their Governors, complains Governor
Darlington in 1871; some they have driven
out of the country-at other times they set
up a government of their own choice, sup
ported by men under arms 1t was, in
fact. the spirit of popular liberty and
self government which stirred within them,
and gave birth to the glorious axiom-'the
rights of the many against the exactions of
the few So ripe was this spirit at an early
day, that when the boundary line was run.
in 1927, between North Carolina and Vir-
ginia, the borderers were eager to be in
cluded within the former province, .as they
payed no tribute to God or Cesar
.'It was this spirit which gave rise to the
confederacy, called the Regulation. formed
to withstand the abuses of power; and the
first blood shed in our country, in resistance
20 arbitrary taxation, was at Alamance in
this province, in a conflict between the
Regulators and Gov. Tryon. Abore all, 1T
should nerer be forgotten that at Mecklen-
burg, IN The heart Of North Carolina, acas
illuminated the first declaration Of indepem-
dence ofLhe British croacn. upmnrds ofa uear
before like declaration of Congress.'

AN UNHEALTHY COUNTRY.

Capt Isaac j. Allen, of the brig Chin.
chill, who reached Baltimore last week
speaks rather diScouragingly of the climate
in the Isthmus of Panama. He confirms by
the most hcart-rendng details the immense
sacrifice of life in building the Panama Rail-
road. At least $4,000 human bodies lie
bleached beneath the burning sands of its
track, and of the whole number originally
employed in its construction but six sue
ceeded in coming away alive, much less
healthy. He states moreover, says the
Clipper, that gold is more plentiful in the
vicinity than in California, but not looked
up by reason of the prevailing fevers.-
One firm, however, are operating at the
Norris diggings whose monthly receipts arc
about SlS,C00 The Indians also arc very
trea cherous and slow to act as guides to
the most favored localities.

ADULrERArEp LIQUORS.

The recent death of young man in
Brampton. Canada, from taking the ''es-
sence of brandy" with which he was manu-
! featuring cognac. and the revelation of tho
fact that strychnne is largely used IN the
manufacture of whiskey, has awakened
some attention to the nature of the drinks
which are sold for pure spirits. Brandy,
gin, wine and wliskey are so adulteTatcd
that comparatively little pure liquor can be
purchased. Most of tho brnndies are
mixture of diabolical ingredients, caustic
enough to burn oak chips, TO say nothing
of the tissues of the human body. The
Springfield Republican says:
s.No secret is made of this business

tie vile limitations of spiritous liquors are
made. A circular frtM one of these houses
