the Cleveland Convention, now that it has
met and made its nominations, have little
or nothing to say in praise or support Of

Insanity of the Insane.

There is no end to the false impressions and
deusions with which the mind may be affected.
A physician once called to see man la
boring under the fancy that he was converted
into teapot; and when the physician endeay-
ored to ridicule him out of the idea, he indig-
nantly replied, 81 am a tea-pot" and forming
a semicircle with one arm, placing his hand
upon his hip, he said, ''there is the handle -
and thrusting out the other arm, "there is the
spout Men have believed themselves con-
yerted into barrels rolled along the street. One
case is recorded of man who believed himself
a clock, and would stand for hours at the head
of the stairs, clicking with his tongue. A re-
spectacle tradesman in England, even fancied
himself metamorphosed into a seven shilling
piece, and took the precaution Of requesting as
particular favor of his friends, that if his wife
should present him in payment, that they would
not give change for him. Some have supposed
that many armed knights were engaged within
them. A sea captain in Philadelphia believed
for many years that he had a wolf in his liver
A madman in the Pennsylvania Hospital be-
lieved that he was once calf, and mentioned
the name of the butcher who killed him, and
the stall in a Philadelphia market on which his
flesh was sold previously to his animatng his
present body. One man believes his legs made
of butter, and with the greatest caution avoids
fire; another imagines them to be made of glass,
and with extreme care wraps them in wooden
boxes when going out to ride A prince Of
Bourbon often supposed himself to be plant,
and taking his stand in the garden, would in
sist upon being watered in common with the
plants around him. A French gentleman mag
ined himself to be dead and refused to eat. To
prevent his dying of starvation, two persons
were introduced to him in the character of illus
trious dead like himself, and they invited him,
after some conversation respecting the world of
shades, to dine with another distinguished but
deceased person. Marshal Turenne. The luna
tic accepted this polite invitation, and made a
very hearty dinner. Every day while this fancy
prevailed, it was necessary to invite him to the
table of some ghost of rank and reputation
Yet in the common affairs of life, the gentleman
was not incapacitated from attending to his own
interests.

Artemus Ward in Virginia.

The renowned Artemus recently strayed over

queer adventures-of which the following is a
fair specimen. He says:

Hints on Etiquette.

In all associations, keep constantly in view
the adage "TOo much freedom breeds con-
tempt"
Never be guilty of practical jokes; ifyou accus-
tom yourself to them, it is probable you will be-
come so habtuated as to commit then upon q
person who will not allow such liberties; | have
known a duel to arise from slap on the back.
If there be another chair in the room do not
offer a lady that-from which you have just riseu.
Always suspect the advances of any person
who may wish for your acquaintance, and who
has had no introduction; circumstances may
qualify this remark but as a general principle,
acquaintance made in public room or places
of amusement, are not desirable.
Never converse while a person is singing; it is
insult not only to the singer, but to the COM
pany.
The essential part of good breeding is the
practical desire to afford pleasure and to avoid
giving pain Any man possessing this desire
requires only opportunity and observation to
make him a gentleman.
If, in public promenade you pass and repass
persons of your acquaintance, it is only necessa-
ry to salute them on the first occasion.
Do not affect singuarity of dress by wearing
anything that is so conspicuous to demand
attention, and particularly avoid what believe
l must call the rufian style.
Never lose your temper at games, and particu-
larly avoid the exhibition of anxiety or vexation
az NeAO VI ouONOSos II y W. fllS pay ing Wulob,
not only keep your temper, but hold your tongue;
any intimation to your partner is decidedly un-
gentlemanly.
Let presents to lady be characterized by
taste-not remarkable for intrinsic value.
Except under very decided circumstances, it
is both ungentlemanly and dangerous to cut
person. if you wish to rid yourself of any ones

Michievous practice 1t exposes the throat and

Men become bald. Why? Because they wear
close hats and caps. Women never bald
except by disease They do not wear close hats
and caps Men never lose a single hair below
where the hat touches the head not if they have
been bald twenty years. The close cap holds the

become weak; the hair falls out. What will re-

THE WHEAT-STALK.-A countryman went to
his fields one morning with his little girl Mary,
to see how his wheat was getting on. 'Iook,
father !" said the little maiden, Iook, how some
of the stalks stand up, quite straight and tall !
they are the best ones; and look at those 9TH
ers, quite bent down to the ground they are
good for nothing" Marys father heating this,
plucked one Of the tallest stalks, and said to
her; 'Look here, my girl this stalk, which
you think so good because it is so high and tall,
is quite empty while the other, which hangs
down so, is full of beautiful grain"
He who's so proud and looks so high;
In him no brains we oft can spy;
But modest looks and mien declare
There's worth as well as wisdom there,

WAsHNGToN's WIFE.-A guest at Mount Yer
non happened to sleep in room next to that
occupied by the President and his lady. Late
in the evening" when. the people had retired to
their various chambers, he heard the amiable
lady delivering very animated lecture to her
lord and master upon something he had done
that she thought had ought to have been done
differently. To all this he listened in The pro-
foundest silence and when she too was silent
he opened his lips and spoke ''Now good sleep
to you my dear" Portraits and descriptions Of
her, show her to have been pretty, agreeable.
kind, little woman, from whom it could not
have been so disagreeable to have a curtain lee
