GAN HANILFsS's last book has been se-
verely csnsuted by some members of the
religious press, who have doubtless mis-
appeebeuded her meaning. Though by no
means faultless, the work is commendAble
in its aim. A correspondent of the Con-
gregatioHaIist says justly;-
"While il is radical in treating Of the
roots Of things, it is guarded by its very
explicitness and many sidednessi and If the
sins of one sect seem 70 be visited on one
page with terrible and dispFopOTtiOnate
indignation, on the next, we shall sec that
those of the other are not "unwhipped OF
Justice" If the characteristic wit and
mfrthful e1aggsraiOn Of the author are
sometimes called into play, to illustrate
her subject, il is not to lose sight Of the
main object, but rather to pique attention
to it, and impart new vividness. She is
here as elsewhere tempted to sttitudinize q
thought more than is necessary, TO rehang
her picture in this light and in that, but
perhsps she often gains in ciearness and
graphic force what she loses in compress
sfou"

A REMARKABbH lunacy case is on trial in
Brooklyn, N. Y, in which q lady of forty sues
her brother for false imprisonment in the
BloOmiugdale Asylum. The persscuted
lady brings into court numerous poems Of
her own composition, written during her
imprisonment, as evidence of the sound
ness of her mental powers, Whereupou the
other side urges that lunatic may be an
excellent writer in department. of issEa-
ture, and calls as witness on this point
Dr.. Brown, the principal physician Of the
BIoomiugdale Insane Asylum, who said, in
answer TO the question whether it is not
possible that q person of insane mind
should write passable poety, such as the
plaintiff claims to have written, or TO excel
in any other art:
"Dr. BroOR Certainly, suppose the
best reply can give to that question is to
state that Adler's German and English
dictionary, which is used as standard text
book in the principal colleges iu the coun-
try, was written 10 the BIoomiugdale Luna
tic Asylum by person OF insane mind
might also mention number Of the stand-
ard text books which were written in that
Institution and will state, as conclu-
sive fact. that one of the leading neWspa-
peFs in New York is principally edited in
the Bloomingdale Lunatic Asylum, and
the leading editorial is written three or
four times q week By. a person OF unsound
mind confined in that Institution"
