A serious Case-A M.dman in ParlIameut

A Serious Case-A Madman in Parilament,
The London correspondent Of the New
York Evening Post furnishes the following
Can a mailman vote in the English House
of Commons2 You will wonder how such
a question can possibly be asked; but it is
really a question which presses for an answer.
A most extraordinary circumstance has just
come to the knowledge of the Lever House,
and of the public generally. On Friday,
the Sd inst-that is to say, at the conclusion
of the long midnight debate of Thursday
Mr.. Andrew Stuart, one of the members for
Cambridge, voted with the opposition
against the financial scheme of the Govern
ment. 1t has since come to light that that
gentleman was not in a fit state for perform
ing such an sct-that he was absolutely at
the time residing at a private asylum,
under q certificate from the physician Gas
required by law6 stating that he was dam
gerous to himself and others.
Several years ago he had a brain fever,
which left him liable at times to attacks of
positive insanity. Like poor Mary Lamb,
Charles Lambs sister, he knows when the
attacks are coming on, and, like her, he
hastens at such times to place himself under
restraint. He did so on the 10th of April,
and his friend and colleague for Cambridge,
Mr.. Macaulay, contended, when the matter
was brought before the House on Monday
by Mr.. Roebuck, that Mr.. Stuart was quite
fit by the I'd or I'D of May to discharge his
duties as a member of Parliament. Other
members stated that they had seen the I'M
happy gentleman OF the night in question
in the lobby of the House, and that he had
appeared to be perfectly rational, and in
possession of all the facts and arguments of
The subject under discussion indeed, they
had no idea that there was or ever had been
any thing the matter with him. Neverthe-
less, he went back to the asylum that same
night, and it appears that DR.. Forbes Wins
low and his partner, the proprietors of the
asylum, were strongly opposed to his going
to the House, but dreaded the excitement
of mind which would be likely to result
from thwarting him.
The case, therefore, is really one of a
very serious character; but the House being
informed that the Commissioners in Lunacy
are preparing a report on the circumstances,
negatived Mr.. Roebuck's motion for a select
committee to inquire into the facts. 1t has
been asserted that the Conservatives, wish
ing to bring up every man to the division,
contrived to get poor Mr.. Stuart out Of his
asylum for the evening; but | am bound to
say that there is no evidence of this. The
honorable gentleman, it is stated, was al
lowed, whenever he wished, to come up to
town on business.

How TO TAKE CARE OF THE HA1R.-As to
men, we say, when the hair begins to fall
out, the best plan is to have It cat short,
give it a good brushing with a moderately
stiff brush, while the hair is dry; then wash
it we'll with warm soap suds; then rub into
the. scalp, about the roots Of the hair, a lit
tie bay rum, brandy or camphor water. Do
these things twice a month; the brushing of
the scalp may be pro6tably done twice a
week. Damp the hair with water every
time the toilet is made. Nothing ever made
is better for the hair than pure soft water, if
the scslp is kept clean in the way we have
mentioned. The use of oil or pomstums, or
grease of any kind, is ruinous to the hair of
man or woman. We consider it a filthy
practice, almost universal though it be, for It
gathers dust and dirt, and soils whatever it
touches. Nothing but pure soft water should
ever be allowed on the heads of children.
II is q different practice that robs our women
Of their most beautiful ornament long before
their prime; the hair Of our daughters should
be kept within two inches until their twelfth
year.-HaHs Journal Of Health. y F..

FACTS ABOUT MULEs.-It is well known
that the more spirit a horse has the more
liable he is to wear himself out under bad
treatment; l mean if he has q driver that is
careless, or one that is impatient or petulant.
Horses, as a general thing, have more life
about them than mares, and mules are SIM
liar in this regard. This is the reason why
mare mules are preferred for the Southern
market, and horse mules in the North.
There is a difference between a man driving
his own team, and trusting them with a
careless hand. For my own use, l prefer
horse mules, for, beside the advantage in
their better ambition, the annoyance Of
having a team SO often in heat is avoided.
There is no use in denying that mules, more
than horses, are naturally disposed TO mis-
ehief-such as jumping fences, tearing down
gates, getting out of the stable, &c. The
only preventive is to accustom them, from
the first TO strong Enclosures and good fix
lures. That mules are more apt to kick than
horses, l can hardly indOrse, yet perhaps il
is not worth while to deny. TO paIliate the
case, l must say that they are not commonly
handled and petted when young horses are,
hence the habit is not corrected. A mule
dislikes and fears a stranger, He readily
shows obedience to one master, and soon
becomes attached to him. This disposition,
though apparent in some horses, is not SO
common as with mules. There is another
particular in which he differs from a horse.
In q drizzly, damp day, however lively in
general, he will be sluggish and dull, while
a horse will be on the look out for an excuse
to run AWAY, y

A New Policy TowARD rHA ISDrAss.-
The Washington National Republican, of
the Sd inst, has this important piece of in
teHigence; l-
We learn that the Commissioner Of Indian
Affairs has recommended the appointment
ofDr. K. Whine as q special agent upon Our
Pacific coast, to report upon measures Of
reform in our Indian relations Ia that quar-
ter, and to be clothed with necessary powers
TO prevent all such collisions between the
Indians and the whites as are aToidable.
Both the creation of this special agency, and
the designation Of DR.. White to fill Il, are
made under the advice of those who best
understand what q sound Indian policy re-
quiTes, such as Mr.. Schooleraft, Governor
Gilpin and others.
A leading object of this proposed appoint
ment Is to- give TO the Indian Bureau an
officer on the Pacific coast not liable to be
reached By the local influences which may
tfftct the Judgment and action Of resident
supeFintendents and agents.

A NEW BOAST OF THE REBELs.-The new
Orleans Commercial Bulletin declares that
the South can neither be starved nor beaten:
The North mistakes the nature of this dis
pute, and the spirit and resources of tbs peo-
Pile proposed TO be extsrminated. Virginia,
North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee, can
alone raise, equip and sustain half a million
of men, and, if necessary, they will do it.
The remaining States can raise as many
more. They will all be at home, and the
cost of their maintenance will be but small
in comparison with what it will cost the
North to maintain an equal number away
from home. The North thinks the South
will be SCOT exhausted, but it is one of those
radical and material mistakes which will ere
long be apparent, if this criminal struggle be
persisted in. She has abundant resources, we
may say immense resources, in her crops of
corn and breadstuffs. The latter will feed her,
if not q bushel of wheat or a pound of meat
finds it way into her borders from any quar-
ter whatever. The former will find a mar
ket through her own ports to Europe, and
will meet her cash requisites.
With all these substantial facts standing
boldly out to the comprehension Of reason
ing men, those in the North who are willing
to look calmly at them as they really exist,
instead of substituting their ~..prejudices and
their wishes for them, may well padse and
inquire: Through war-to what2 ?"

FORr PIcKENs.-The OharIestOn C0urie,

HOhE iOhhNes-Aho OhdItc5Vou NOWiteT,
in speaking of Fort Pickens, says;
Most persons are on the look. out for a fight
about Fort Pickens. For our part, if we
may venture al opinion on a military mat
ter, we trust no attack will be made upon
the enemy at'thst point. The batteries are
o mile and a third distant-too far 10 breach
with certainty. The barracks can not be
burned out, as in the case Of Sumter. A
storming party would have to advance under
the FIRE of the feet, and if they succeeded in
passing through the breach, would have
to take a large battery, protected by sand
bags within the fort. The whole undertaking
appears desperate and uncertain in the result;
while the loss of life can not fail to be great.
These are the reasons to deter from the
attempt. What good reasons are there for
making It'll An expensive and much needed
feet of the United States is employed, and
at a great expense. Fort Pickens is pro-
verbally q very sickly place, subject to yell
low fever. Santa Rosa Island is full Of fresh
water ponds, and p~estilent of bilious fevers.
No city or special interest of the Confederate
States requires relief, and the camp there is
an admirable place for drilling troops. In
the face of the enemy, all are on their good
behavior, en-

HENRY WARD BEEcHER ON THE AMERICAN
FLAG.-That flag means Lexington; it means
Bunker Hill; it means the whole glorious
Revolutionary War. 1t means all that the
Declaration of Independence -means-it
means all that the Constitution means. Not
a symbol of authority of the ruler was al
lowed to go in it. 1t was ordained for the
people by the people; that it meant and that
it means, and by the blessing Of God that it
shall mean to the end of time. For, God
Almighty te thanked, that when base, de-
generate men desired to set up expressions
at war with all the instincts of American
liberty, they could not do it under our flag.
They must have another flag for such work.
l thank them that they took another flag to
do the DEVILS work, and left our flag to do
God Almighty's work. CApplause-sup-
pIessed.1 If ever the sentiment Of the text
has bee1 fulfilled, it has been in our glorious
banner. "Thou hast given a banner to them
that fear thee, that il may be displayed !" aud
display ed it shall be from the Atlantic wave
clear across, with eagle flight, to the Pacific;
that banner shall wave, meaning all that it
ever meant. From the North, where snow
and ice stand solitary, clear to the Gulf and
tropics, that banner has waved and shall
wave forever. J
