THE MAD GENERAL-The Richmond
Sentinel cannot account for the intense
activity of Grant except on the theory
that he is insane. 1t says he is lunatic
''who deals his blows wildly on every
side" It cites as an evidence of insanity
his detachment of "small force TO occu-
DIV and hold the Weldon road, where any
sane man would have known they would
be gobbled up" The Sentinel has prob.
ably become convinced by this time that
there is method in Grants madness,
three several attacks upon him. attended
with rebel sacrifice OF fifteen thousand
men, having failed to drive him from the
Weldon railroad.

A SUBTERRANEAN HUNT.-An extraor-
dinary "battue" has just taken place in the
sewers of Paris. Taking advantage of the
frost, which drives this particular game into
covert, the owner invited Christmas party
to partake-of the sport Of rat killing. All
the great sewers were driven in one direci
tion till millions Of rats, which fought among
themselves like tigers as they were hunted
along, were collected in the large drain by
the bridge of Asnieres. Forty dogs were
then let down into the sewers; and after a
fight lasting forty-fve hours, and in which
four dogs were killed and some blinded, no
less than 10000 rats were dispatched.

EFFECT OF LIGHT.-Dr. Moore the met
aphysician, thus speaks of the effect of light
on body and mind
"a tad-pole confined in darkness would
never become frog and an infant being
deprived of heavens free light will only
grow into shapeless idiot, instead of beau
tiful and responsible being. Hence, in the
deep, dark gorges and ravines of the Swiss
Valais where the direct sunshine never
reaches, the hideous prevalence of idiocy
startles the traveller 1t is strange, melan-
choly idiocy. Many of the Inhabitants are
incapable of any articulate speech, some are
deaf, some are blind, some labor under all
these privatlons, and all are misshapen in
almost every part of the body. | believe
there is in all places marked difference in
the healthiness of houses according to their
aspect with regard to the sun, and those
are decidedly the healthiest, other things be-
ing equal, in which all the rooms are, during
some part of the day, fully exposed to the
direct light. Epidemics attack inhabitants
on the shady side of the street and totally
exempt those on the other side and even in
epidemics such as ague, the morbid infu-
ence is often thus partial in its labors."

MASONIC BURIALs.-In all ages the
bodies of the Masonic dead having been laid
in graves dug due east and west, with their
faces toward the east This practice has
been borrowed from them, and adopted by
others, Until it has become nearly universal.
1t implies that when the Great Day shall
come, and he who is Deaths conqueror
shall give the signal, His enefable light
shall first be seen in the east that from the
east He will make His glorious approach
will stand at the eastern margin of these
graves, and with his mighty power-that
grasp, irresistably strong, which shall pre-
vail, will raise the bodies that are slumber-
ing therein.

MISERABLE REMNANT.-The miserable
remnant Of a once considerable tribe of In
dians, was encamped yesterday on the north
shore of McClouds Lake, in this city, They
numbered three women, three men, and two
or three childreh-all unusually good look
ing for individuals of the great Digger ma
ton A few years ago this tribe, whose
hunting and fishing ground is in the tules
and slodghs near Mount Diablo, numbered
three or four hundred But they were not
very warlike; and so, what with the depra-
dation of the Harlike tribes on the Tuolumne,
Stainslaus ahd Mokelumhe rivers, the de-
structive vices of christian civilization and
at length a visitation Of the small pox, they
have dwindled down to their present insig-
ni6cant number-=a woe-begone and sadden-
ing spectacle for the study of the philan-
thropist -StocEton Independent.
