Insanity.

DIR. Hills, of the Columbus, Ohio, Lunatic
Asylum, ascribes insanity chiefly to physical
causes, and relates many cases which very
powerfully impress this opinion. Take one
or two examples:
A, sober man, enters the domestic
life and has several children, who are now in
their prime, healthful and sensible AT a
certain period of life, having been depressed
by misfortune, he becomes Incorporate, and
remains so for a series of years, during which
he has four children; one of these dies of
epilepsy, another is imbecile, a third has been
in lunatic asylum, but having been dis
charged cured, is now the mother of family;
the fourth is still insane and in the asylum.
Furthermore, the father reforms and becomes
the father of OF er children. There is another
by like lines into similar periods, the number
of the children the same, and Their charae'
ter similar. Those born during the drunken
period being one elieptic, a second idiotic,
the third and fourth manacal
What motive to sobrietv! But this is
not all. The descendants Of the der&nged
children come into existence with a hered-
tary tendency to insanity. which may con
tinue generation after generation. In most
cases the hereditary predisposition of the
maniac can be traced back to physical de-
rangement resulting from some sinful habit
And cases charged to moral causes, may, il
you can get q thorough history, be generally
traced to physical habits, either in the par
ties or their parents, the moral causes being
merely the exciting ones. Still there ma,

Ell DoRADo-These words have become
very familiar, and though there is general
appreciation of their meaning, there is by no
means a knowledge OF their origin. In
l54l, Gonzalo Pizarro, brother to the Con
queror of Peru, marched from Onto to seek
the tabled kingdom of gold, which, accord
ng to the traditions of the aborigines
existed some place east of the Andes
The monarch of this fabulous kingdom
was said, in order to wear more mag
uificent attire than any other king in
the world, to be adorned with daily coat.
ing of gold. His body was anonted every
morning with rare and fragrant gums, and
gold dust b'own over him through tube.
Thus attirel the Spaniards called him El
Dorado, (ho giled king) He was said to
reside generally in the supurb city of Manos,
in one street of which there was said to be
not less than 5000 slver-smths or silver
workers. The columns Of his palace were
affirmed to be porphyry and alabasler, his
throne ivory, and his steps gold; the body of
the palace was of white stone, ornamented
with gold suns and silver moons; living lions
fastened with chains OF gold guarded its en-
trance.

How TO RESTORE THE UNIoN.--Ihe New

How TO RESTORE THE UNIoN.--1he New
York Erpress, in reply to the Abolition ul
traists, thus forcibly and plainly puts tie
case "If Abolitionisna did not exist in the
North, in ninety days, the Unonists of the
South would re construct the Union. 1t as
only the terror of Northern Abolitionisna that
makes the South the solid body 1t IS! Nol
can slavery be trodden under foot unless the
representative three tiflhs principle Of the
Federal Constitution, and the Fugitive slave
compact article be trodaem under foot too!
To tread these under foot, is, of course, to
tread the Union under foot" This brief
paragraph is a sufficient answer to all twad-
die about "abolishing slavery to save the
Union. To abolish slavery is to overthrow
the Constitution at a blow, and not State
would be bound by that instrument, for its
terms Of union would be abrogated. But be-
yond this, even if we had the power to over
throw slavery, it would be the ruin of the
North to do it. 1t would be simpl y cutting

er or later turn upon the British tools and dupes
in their midst, who have ought to lead them into
this monstrous crusade against the eternal order
OF God himself, as well, as against the purity,
freedom, manhood and dignity of their race and
when that hour strikes, may God have mercy upon
their miserable souls, for the people will have

mon government-their 0t0n gouernment-is to
be welded for their destruction. they will again
laternize with the North, as they did before this
monstrous crusade against their peace and safety
began.
This. then, is what the South wants-to be re-

and most atlocious deusion that ever perverted
the understanding or corrupted the moral instincts

Taylor & Brothers, cotton spinners, OF
Wigan, England, who employ about two
thousand five hundred hands, have just issued
the following notice to their operatives:
"In consequence of the civil war in America
and the blockade of the Southern ports,
supply of American cotton nannot for some
time be anticipated. The stock of cotton
which we have held has enabled us so far to
keep our mills running fall time. We now,
however, think it a right to inform you that
should American affairs remain in the same
position in January next as at present we
Shall then be under the necessity of closing
our mills. We trust that your prudence and
good sense will lead you to save what you

THE OBJECT OF The WAR-The New
York Express is showing that President Lin
coin and Congress have both declared that
the war is not prosecuted for conquest or
subjugation, but merely for the restoration
of the authority Of the Constitution. 1t also
says "it is authorized to sag that these are
the objects of the young General who com
mands the army of the United States.'
This, we suppose, accounts for the attacks
Of the Abolition Emanci patton Fremont par
tv, upon the President, but he will rather a.
chieve than loose popularity in this respect.
Every step he takes from the utraists will
gain him more friends than he will lose.

NUMBER 1S.
Shall White Men Rule America?

The Weekly Caucasian, is the title of a
Democratic Union paper, but independent
of party, recently started in New York by
the late proprietors Of The Day Book, which
was suppressed. Their new issue does not
discuss the war, and hence it crculates in
the mails unmolested. 1t takes for it's motto
the sentiment of the late Senator Douglas,
"that this government was made on the white
basis, by white men, Tor the benefit of whito
men and their posterity forever" and with
this text, it deals the hardest kinds of blows
at the Aboilionists. Dr. Van Evrie, the
senior editor, is scientific student of the
question of races, and he shows, what negroes
are and what white men are, in such wav
that the Abo!itionists will find it difficult to
answer his arguments. The Caucasian is
published at the low price of One Dollar

GENERAL lANNEY-The St. Louis CORES
pondent Of the Bulletin says
Gen. Harvey is still without employment,
and remains at his residence in this city a
quiet spectator of the war and It's exciting
conrOnitants
There is story atoat here to etfeo, that
Gen. Mcclellan sometime ago sent him tel
esraphic despatch Offering him a command
in the Army Of the Potomac, and that he
lelegraphel in reply an emphatic refusal.
Frank Blair before starting for Wao!ing'
ton LAY or two ago, met the General on
the street and offered his hand. "!iave You
the impulence to speak to me, s!:." says the
General: "Out Of the way you puppy.'
Blair owes this very remarkable e reception to
the fact that he was instrumental in depriv
mo the General Of TIE command he held
here last spri 9.
In speaking o. General HaIeck the cor
respondent says, he has made a much more
modest selection of headquarters than Gen.
Fremont. The former has taken one floor of
a very large building on the corner of Fourth
street and Washington avenue, and located
his own and other army offices belonging to
"Headq quarters" all at rental of ~, 500 per
annum. Gen Fremont's rental for the same
officer was at rate of $4,000 per annum
He has much less gaIloping Of orderlies a

vastly less noise and confusion generally than
were observed about the headquarters of his

PASSPORTS IN THE OLD WORLD The old
passport system of Europe has nearly passed
away An American, now on the other
side Of the water, says that he recently made
a journey from Russia, by way of Sweden,
Denmark, England, Belgium, Norway, Hol~
land, the Free Cities, France, Prussia, and
the various minor German States, and was
not once asked for passport. This an
noying restriction on personal transit from
country to country is officially abolished in
Holland and Sweden, by royal decree, and
it is reported that even the Grand Lima of
Thibet has issued similar order, respecting
his dominons, which has been followed by
the King of Siam. Russia and Austria
have greatly abated the rigor of the pass
port system, though they have not yet en-
tirely suppressed it, while even in Italy one
can travel from Naples to Milan unehalleng'
ed, excepting in the States of the Church
The cause of this change is said to be the
extension of railways, and the practical in
efficiency of the system in preventing i'm
proper characters from passing the lines

No FLOODS SoUTH.-The hig 'est flood in
all the Northern streams, occurred Dec. 9th.
The Visaia Delta of the Thursday following
has come to hand, and as it contains no ac'
count of floods in that Southern region it is
safe to presume there were none. The storm
seems to have been severest in the extreme
north, and "tapered Off gradually as it ex'
tended south AS a contemporary remarks,
Visaia and the immediate country around
it, are watered by short streams. But there
are two rivers near the Kaweah and Tule-
which rise in the snow region, and neither of
which are reported in the Delta as having
been unusually high. All the extraordinary
floods appear to have been north of the Mo
kelumne.

The First Saw Mill.

The old practice, in making boards, was to
split up the logs with wedges, and, incon'
venient as the practice was, it was no easy
matter to persuade the world that the thing
could be done in any better way. Saw mills
were first used in Europe, in the fifteenth
century; but as late y as 1866, an English
ambassador, having seen a saw mill in
France, thought it novelty which deserved
particular description. 1t is amusing to
see how the aversion Of labor saving ma
chinery has always agitated England The
first saw mill was established by Dutchnan
in 1868, bat the public outcry against the
new tangled machine was SO violent that the
proprietor was forced to decamp with more
expedition than ever did Dutchman before.
The evil was thus kept out of England for
several years, or rather generations; but in
1898, an unlucky timber merchant, hoping
that, after so long time, the public would
be less wachtul for its interests made rash
attempt to construct another mill. The
guardians of the public welfare, ho ever,
were on the alert, and a conscientious mob
at once collected, and pulled the mill to
pieces.
