more quiet and their paroxysms of excitement

During the year 1857 the number of patients in

the notice of the family in which the patient
lives, aud it is only by reflection and comparison
that the friends can fix upon any time as the
commencement of insanity

patient is restless, irritable, and mofose. He

Nor PUSHING HN-We find the following very
'goOd one" going the rounds Of the papers:
Some time ago, on the Sabbath day, we Wended
our way to one Of our churches, and instead of
sermon, heard an address upon some missionary or
other benevolent subject. After the address was
concluded, two brethren were sent round with q
basket for contributions. Parson -, who was
one Of the basket holders took the side upon which
we sat. Immediately in our front and upon the
next seat negigently reolined our friend Bill
H, gentleman Of infinite humoF, and full of
dry jokes. Parson L. extended the basket, and
Bill slowly shook his head.
''COme, William, give US something" said the
PsrsOn.
Cant do it." replied Bill
''Nhy not? is not the cause a good one?"
ayes; but am not able to give anything"
"Poh. Poh! know better; you must give better
reason than that"
'Wel owe too much money! I must be just be-
fore am generous, you know"
"But, William, you owe God . larger debt than
you owe any one else"
That's true, ParsOn, but then He amt pushing
me like the balance Of my creditors"
The Parsons face got into q rather cusious condi-
tiOn, and ne passed on.

INvOCATIONs TO SOUTHERN ABoLITIoNIsFs.-Much
has been said and done recently with the view to the
formation of great "UniOn party at the South-an
organization which is to make it its chief business to
save the Union If there class of politicians that
dislike, for their utter worthlessness it is that
class which have regarded it their peculiar pre-
rogative to save the Union Real patriots have been
worried, as it we're, by these "Union-savers' ever
since there was Union to save and we doubt if the
country will ever be effecually rid of them untthe
Union shall have been irrevOcsbly lost To our mind
the fact thatthe event would at once annhate this
oroakng band Of Union savers is strong considers
ton in favor Of dissolution and it is question with
if the benefits resulting directly from their des
trueton would not counter-balsnce the evils which
would flow from the severance.
That We have in our very midst a class Of politi-
clans whose sentiments are at variance with the
rights and policy of the South, is undeniable. This
opposition Southern institutions is rarely acknoWl
edged, but is exercised freely whenever it can be
brought to bear effectively against the cherished in
situations of our section of the country The oppo-
stion to which we allude was never more palpSble
than at this very tme and is clearly evnced in the
prOIeststions Of attachment 10 the Union to which
we daily subjected.

It is seen that the area Of Kansas is nineteen
thousand square miles greater than that of all New
England, New York. and New Jersey; and that the
area o. Nebraska is ninety five thousand square
miles greater than that of all the non-save holding
States except California Oregon is nearly equal in
extent to allNeW England, New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana 1t is possible that New Mexico
and Mesila will be embraced in one territorial or
ganizaton by Congress at the present session, con-
aiming two hundred and eighty eight thousand
square miles of territory, exceeding that of all New
England, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
and Illinois Utah is nearly equal in extent to all
New England, New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio
Washington exceeds in extent all New England and
New York.
If the Territories should be cut up into States of
the average size of the present States, the Union
whould consist when they should all be admitted of
between sixty and seventy members. 1t is not like
ly this will be done; but Texas will probably be
divided into three States, and Nebraska into three
MORE the Union will, when all the territory now
belonging to US shall be erected into States consist
of at least fifty members.-DstrOit Press.

L win be remembered that the Secretary Of the
Treasury in his annual report upon the state Of the
finances suggested as subjeetw worthy Of considera-
tiOn the adoption by the several States of that sys
ten in the management Of their finances, which mas
worked so admirably in the management Of those Of
the General Government The legislature Of Ohio,
it appears has acted upon this suggestion. At its
last session an act was passed establishing inde
pendent State treasury and under the operation Of
that set the government Of Ohio, in a few years,
viii have hard money currency, and deal in no
other. This act provides that hereafter all pay
ments under certain specified amounts, out Of the
Stste county treasures, shall be made in specie,
and the amounts which may be paid in something
other than ooin are gradually increased until 1865
After thai all payments, large or small, are to be
made in hard money and of course all receipts viii
be in the same kind Of currency. The EDenilg Post
predicts that the effect Of this act viii be most bene
6cs to the people and the State credit of Ohio. 1t
says:
ave predict that this measure viii bring about
larger every day Of coin in the State Of tOhlo
than in the other States and viii give to Ohio the
possession Of q larger proportion of the specie OF
the country than she would otherwise have, at the
expense Of the other States and that the State
stocks Of Ohio will rise in value constantly as she
approaches nearer and nearer to the payment Of all
the States creditors in coin. A part Of the high
credit Of the United States government stocks IS IN
quesdOnably due 10 the assurance the holders have
that the debt principal and Interest, will be Pald
IN actual money
We also predict that the State stocks Of Ohio
will for this reason. soon become Of higher value
in the all other circumstances being fairly
considerered, than those Of any other State And
we predict further, so easy and popular will the
operation Of the system be founded, that all pay
ments whatever, in and out Of the Ohio State treas
ury will be actually made in coin before the period
/ fixed by the law for this consummatiOn."

DETERIORATION OF tbs AMGLO-SANON RACE IN TIE
UNITED STATEs.-A correspondent, who states him
self to be thoroughly acquainted with the physical
pecularities of the different States Of the Union,
roundly denies the assertion of the English press
that the Anglo Saxon this continent exhibits
evidence of decay. The inhabitants Of the Western
States in his opinion, fully come up to the average
Of the population of Great Britain The inhabitants
Of Kentucky. part Of Ohio, Virginia and Pennsylva-
MA ara fully equal height oorpuency and size to
the Norman, the Briton, the Saxon and even the
AnglO-saxOn, in any part of England. The POpuls-
ton of part of Georgia, Alabama, and Of part Of
South Carolina and South Tennessee, is on the
average taller than that of any part Of Europe, with
the exception only Of the Northern part of Sweden.
From these facts he thinks it may fairly be inferred
that so far from deteriOrating the European races
are destined to attain the maximum Of physical per-
lection in the United States.-N 7. Herald

DECLINE IN RAILROAD AND MANUFACTURING SToCKs.
The New York Courier and Enquirer makes the
following remarks on the rapid deterioration of
railroad securities:
"The serious decline in railroad securities is one
Of the melancholy aspects Of the times. In list
of twenty-three Of the leading railroad companies
ofNew England or owned mainly in Boston, not one
has its stocks quoted at par, while several are
quoted at six, sixteen to forty per cent the average
of the whole Including some that they have paid
dividends for years. being about ffCy i've per cent
1.-The manufacturing companies Of New England
show losses fully equal to those by railroads. Some
are quoted at seventeen, forty AMI fifty cents per
dollar
