ABSINTHE.DRINkING IN FRANCE.--ln con-
sequence of the death of Grassot, the comic
actor, from the effects of absinthe, coming
soon on that OF Alfred de Musse. from abuse
of the same insidious beverage, the comm ttee
of the Academic de Medecin has inst ordered
researches to be made upon the various results
of absln nthe-drinking, which has of late years
assumed an importance unequalled by The
gin-drinking of England, the schnapps Of
Holland. The consequence of this habit are
proved, upon examination, to have become
fearful all over France and Algeria. The most
remarkable of these. and one which may be
considered unique is The freq nency of hallu-
cination, generally Of the most horrible kind
fancied guilt of murder and crime of every
kind, which renders the poor victim liable to
suicide even when in apparent possession OF
every security and blessing. The catalogue of
ills brought on by absinthe is painful in the
extreme, when associated in ones mind with
the memory OF the joyous, mirth moving
Grassot, or the sensitive Mnsaet. The seven
teen symptoms mentioned in the report of
Dr. Legrond de Sau!e, each one more horrible
and hdeOus than the other, rs following sure
as the death which comes after all, to be cha
raeteristic of the indulgence in absinthe,
should be sufficient to deter the young Begin
ner from placing the emerald poison" as poor
Musset has POLITICALLY called il, to his lips; for
any one of them seems to erase at once the
poor patient from all the pleasures and en-
joyments OF the world, and even To deprive
him of his place amongst his fellow beings.

INSANITY THE RESULT OF A JOKI.-There is
now in Il female lunatic asylum at Hammer
smith, says the London Court Circular, a lady
OF exquisite beauty. who was driven mad by
being suddenly startled by her maid. The
lady's name is H, and she resided with her
husband, Mr.. H, Il wealthy shareholder, at
a splendid mansion in Cavendish square. One
evening, ABOUT six weeks ago, she strolled in
the dusk into her husbands library to pro-
cure Il book. The lady's maid saw her enter
the apartment, and in Il mere frolic concealed
herself behind the curtains belonging to the
window, until her mistress had placed her
hand upon the work she came in search of,
when she suddenly spraug upon her with a
loud shout. The lady was astounded by the
shock, that she was struck almost senseless.
Delirium ensued; confirmed madness fol-
lowed, which has ever since continued with.
out abatement, to a degree dangerous to all
who come near her. Her propensities are fierce
and vicious she tries to bi'e at all who APP
proach her, and it is more than probable she
will never recover her reason.

IHE MODERN GLADIATORs-The Mobile
REGISTER, In announcing the death of Mrs.
Joanna Morrissey, by drowning, in Troy, and
her relation to prize-fghter, makes some
weil-timed allusions to the folly of placing
these "shoulder-hitters' so prominently before
the public, and adds.
"Morrlssey was on board steamer, ready to
sail for Liverpool TO attend the champion
match, when he heard of his mothers death.
HE simply replied that he supposed that the
authorities would see her decentiy put under
ground, and went on. Yet such brutes in hu
man shape are glorified into national champi-
ohs, and respectable newspapers devote col
umns to elaborate details of their fine poin IS,
and send special reporters to Europe to have
the earliest intelligence of the result of their
encounters. What a thin coat Of whitewash
civilization still is, albeit this is the nine til
century,"

came home When got home she asked Inc
how was getting along and after was there
a little while she went out In about half ar
hour she came back she had "a pair of stock
ings and pair of gloves, and said she want-
dead. as l would not see her alive mex morn
ing. She then told me to 60 into Mrs. Browns
am, tell her she wanted 10 see her; wen I,
and when came back found her standing on
the floor with glass in her hand. She had ap.
parent,y swallowed what was in the tuinbler.
She went to the stove and put some hot water
in the glass, and washed IL round In the glass
and then drank it all. After she drank it, she
Law down on the bed, and said she was finished.
