Lsanity.-During the past year,
ninety persons have been sent to the
Insane Asylum. The Bulletin says :
Well-marked physical disease SEEM
ed to be the immediate cause, in some
twenty per cent. of cases. Eight per
cent. took the form of religious mania,
but whether the religious excitement
was the cause or the consequence of
the craziness, does not appear. Elev-
en- per cent. had their origin in do
mestic trouble, IL most of which cases
the family of the lunatie was not in
California More than twenty per
cent. were known to be intemperate.
Eleven per cent. had a hereditary
tendency to insanity. Self-abuse was
the undoubted cause in six per cent.
of the cases, and probably closer In
vestigation would show that this was
far below the true number.

Little to Do.-I'he Legislature in
session has really but little before it
to do, and every means at command
to do that little weE.- A half mill
lion of dollars in the treasury is at
its disposal. First, have an end. to
the Senatorial question at once; next
apply the superhuous cash in the
treasury to lessening the State debt;
then, give the people a better attach
ment law, a few other enactments,
pass the necessary appropriation bills,
and adjourn. There is nothing so
consume the time Of a long session.
The public is not clamoiing for any
measure requiring time to elaborate.
A short session is expected, and the
people will not be satisfied unless
their representatives return to them
within a reasonable period.

Grand Way to Get Rid Of Fe.@.-
We think we shall deserve special
premium for the following excellent
plan which we now give to get rid of
feas from a sleeping apartment. Set
the night lamp in a pan of soapsuds
upon the floor of the room the fleUs
will naturally seek the light and will
fall into the soap-water and be drown
ed. This plan is sure one; and any
one who will try it will find the plan
sure to lid them of every flea in the
room.-Cal. Farmer.

CoNGRESs.-In are that
Congress will have a stormy session.
The i'll feeling which is rife between
the sections of the Union has never
been greater and is truly lamentable.
Bitterness on one side is met by taunts
and derisions OH the other. The be-
lief in an "irrepressible conflict" an
ounced by leading Southerner in the
SENTENCE" the planter will one day
call the roll of his slaves from the top
of Bunker Hill Monument - and
subsequently reaffirmed at Rochester
by more distinguished Northerner,
is proving TO be we'll founded. The
"conhict " actually exists tits " IT.
repressibie " too unless the language
used on the floor of the National Leg
islature conceals ideas. We take no
delight in reading the proceedings of
the present session of Congress thus
far, and hope to see more harmony
and less acrimony in the National
halls soon. AT the same time we hope
the Republicans will elect their
Speaker of the House of Represen-
tatives. 1t is alleged and believed by
thousands that frauds innumerable
have been practised in the Utah con-
tracts. The election of a Republican
Speaker will insure the appointment
of committees which will bring the
facts to light. We have no hope of
an exposure from an Administration
committee.

The following is an extract from
the London Examiner, portion of an
an article in relation to the newly
explored country in Africa:
"Tle common fowl and oxen, the
latter used ooly for their flesh and
small milk, but not for labor, are the
only animals which have been do
mesiicated. The horse is unknown,
and so is the hardy ass, except to
few Arabian settlers. Man then. has
here no help in his toll, without which
any respectable progress towards
civilization is impossible. A hardy,
coarse cotton rs grown, and the art of
weaving a fatric of corresponding
quality is understood. So is the art
of making malleable iron. the highest
stretch of negro civilization in this
part of Africa. Letters are unknown
to negroes of the eastern coast. The
staple exports consist of the bodies
of the inhabitants in bondage, and of
the tusks of the slaughtered ele-
plants. The imports correspond in
value.
would suggest that President
Buchanan send out some prominent
politician, some recently defeated ex-
member of Congress to procure a
few quarts of that milk for distribu-
ton by the patent ofice-or to make
Treasury pap. Ok milk would
probably be pass ed duty free at the
San Francisco Custom House.

The News from Europs-Important rron
IVAlE.


ne hsia, which arrived yesterday brings ~
sone important news from Italy. II il DECIDED
b. the government Of Victor EmaDuel 10 annex
all Southern Italy to Piedmont and TO con.
vince Europe in six months that VeGetia, too,
will he annexed and Rome become the capital
Of United Italy. With This policy in view,
boldly proclaimed by Cavour on the 18TH
inst. It is difficult TO guess at Louis Ma
poieon's projects in connection with Rome.
They are so shifting in their character, and
adapt Themselves 80 readily TO circumstances
tavoring opposite construci lions, that il is 90
wonder that they should keep European qfid
nunc continually on the alert
TIE last advices announce the occups
tion By French troops OF vi,erbo, Velie-
tri, Civta Veccha, Castelano. Tivoli
Palestrina. Frascati Albano and valmon-
tone There towns form circuit around
Rome, extending north forty two, east twenty
two, west northwest thirty eight, and south
thirteen miles. 1t includes the capital Of the
ralimony Of St Peter, bestowed in the twelfth
century on the Papal See, az also the principal
por. of the Roman States. II will be recol
lected that one Of the Paris papers (semi off
cial) announced few weeks back that il was
the intention OF the Emperor to confirm to the
Pontiif the possession of ST. Peters pntrimony,
thus leaving him fair strip u territory
around Rome The occupation Of the places
above mentioned and the report Of an
intended increase Of the French army to
60 600 men would appear to be the logical
result of this determination.
But The question arises Is it not something
more? What is il that makes the Emperor 50
suddenly solieitous that the Pope shall not be
toe closely confined within the walls Of Rome?
When we take into account that the
port Of Ciyita vecchia conveniently faces
the Island Of Sardinia, which France is
said 10 be making arrangements to annex
in consideration Of her giving up cid claims
upon Naples, and that she will require
sort Of military and naval depot on the oppo-
sile peninsula, we can understand this new
born soicitude for the PoStif's health There
are other motives in connection with the in
creasng power OF Sardinia, to say nothing Of
those that may arise for fresh rupture with
Austria, which render il desirable that the
Emperor should continue French army in
Italy
AL these considerations have no doubt
suggested the expediency Of preserving to the
church its ancient patrimony, to be used as
standing pretext for an occupation defensible
on no other ground But six months, as Count
Cayour says, may show to the world some
important events on the continent Of Europe.

Stunning THE SrATE.-A correspondent has
thrown out suggestion that our merchants
whose interests are imperilled by the prospec
tive success Of the Lincoln ticket should occupy
the interval between this and the election in
stamping the State against him. The idea is
capital one. The general stagnstion OF bust
ness caused by the near approach of the cleo
ton leaves the heads Of our commercial firms
more time on their hands than they know how
to employ probably. To what better or more
useful purpose can this leisure be devoted than
in travelling through the interior of the Safe,
visiting their customers and impressing upon
them the ruin In which the trading interests OF
the North must be involved In the event OF
Lincoln's election. Here In the city the impor.
lance Of the criis is sufficiently understood.
We have had meetings and speeches enough to
make II comprehensive to the simplest under
standing. In the country it Is different; the
people there have neither the opportunities nor
the advisers capable Of enabling them TO ap-
preciate 1t In all its bearings. II men OF
character and position like our leading New
York merchants were to 20 amongst them and
point out 10 them the direction in which their
true interest lies, II would exercise a powerful
influence on the vote Of the State, and In an
probability, save the country frem the perils
that menace H.
