A SINGULAR CASE OF INSANITY.
On Monday we witnessed singu-
lar case Of insanity, and the remark
able power that some persons have
to control insane persons. As the
morning accommodation train from
New Haven to this city stopped at
Southport, Conn, an insane woman,
apparently about 35 years of age.
was forcibly brought on board the
cars by her friends, to be taken to
the Insane Retreat at Bloomingdale.
She was perfectly wild with excite
ment, and her hands were firmly
tied at the wrist to keep her from
tearing off her clothes. AS she was
forced down into her seat, and held
there by her attendants, an entire
stranger approached her, inquired
after her health, asked to see her
tongue, felt her pulse, smoothed her
forehead gently with his hand, and in
a few moments entirely soothed and
quieted her. Her illusion was that
she had lost her head and feet. The
stranger told her she was partly right
and partly wrong in her impressions;
that it was true she had temporarily
lost her feet, but that her head was
all right, as was proved by her show
ing her tongue. ...
He conversed with her nearly all
the way to the city got her finally
to admit that her head was right,
and told her that when she got to
Twenty seventh street she would find
her feet. On reaching there the
stranger requested that he might take
her out of the cars and place her in
a carriage. The friends were incred-
ulous but consented. The stranger
then said, "Well, / told you, you
would find you feet when you got
here, and, sure enough, you have.
Come with me-" This was said
mildly, but with firm voice of as
surance and authority, and to the
astonishment of all present, she got
up, followed her stranger friend out
of the cars, and allowed him to con-
duct her to carriage and place her
in it. He then kindly bid her good
by, and disappeared in the crowd,
without waiting to receive the show
er Of thanks from her friends.--Neao
York NeUs.

FREEMA AsoNRY AND THE PopE.-The
freemasons OF Holland have addressed
a communication TO the Pope, in
which they protest against the recent
papal aIlocution, remarkng that free
masonry scars above all sects and
creeds, inasmuch as it tends to elevate
and benefit humanity. They add
that any religious denomination which
attempts to deViate from that great
social mission, and to assert its super
natural superiority over the duties Of
practical christianity, places itself
thereby outside the pale of humanity.

HEAVY ON THE FREEDMEN.-A friend
coming from the direction of Tibbee
the other day, says the Southern Sen
tinel, found notice stuck upon gate
post of a plantation, of which the fol-
lowing is copy:
EETO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
This farm is not for sale, lease or
rent, or to be given away.
'The ex-junior proprietor thereof
in taking his leave, desires to return
to the colored employees an everlast-
ing and damnable adieu
"TO the efficient and prompt manner
in which they discharged their arduous
duties, during the heat of summer, l
owe the total destruction of my crop !!
''Notice is therefore given that |
have by mutual consent released all
claims upon this class of citizens, and
that they are free to enlist for and
with any one DESTROYS of securing
their valuable services.
sTo such a one | would say that
they differ widely as to the manner of
enlisting, none being willing to do so
unless being first allowed to retain the
following necessary implements, viz
Zone fve-shOoter and shot gun,
three dogs, two pleasure horses, one
mich cow, two sows and pigs, goats
and chickens in same quantity as white
people, five or six acres of land for
patch, according to size of family, etc.

How TO MAKE F0RTUNE-The
surest way to make a fortune in trade
is by advertising Bonner, of the
New York Ledger, quilted the com
position room of the New York Eve
ming Mirror, where he had been re
ceiving for six years a salary of from
six dollars to twelve dollars week,
and with his savings bought weekly
newspaper at the point of death for a
few hundred dollars. He commenced
advertising, often spending from
$4,000 to $4,000 on a single adver-
tisement, and his regular income is
now about $4,000 a year. DR.. S.
p. Townsend, the ''great sarsaparilla
man" used to spend from $4,000 to
100000 a year in advertising his
nostrum. DR.. Moffat, of 'Phenix
Life Bitters," notorety, spent thous-
ands and made millions by Advertising
DR.. Hostetter ditto; and DR.. Ayre, of
Cherry PICTORIAL fame, ditto, ditto.
AS an English illustration of the bene-
fits of judicious advertising, take, for
instance, II. j. and d. Nicoll. They
began by investing all the money they
possessed in advertising a cheap
paletot. They are now millionaires.
If tradesman has areally good thing,
he has only to properly advertise il
and make a fortune.

GEN. j. E. JoHNsToN-TheS Selma
Times of the 18th says:
After his late Northern excursion,
Gen. Johnson is now with us-we
hope for the winter at least. His
healthy, vigorous physiognomy be-
tokens the full enjoyment of the In
dian summer of life. Such lives are
not without the fruits and mellow
hues attending that period. He does
not believe the Northern mind yet
given over to reprobacy, but thinks
the good sense of the nation will pre-
vail over the extreme views of those
who would yet degrade us.

which The States per cent. would be
Ss.els.54.
During the present State canvass we
have purpOsely refrained from counting
on this source of revenue, as we were
not posted in dhe law controlling this do
nation. Taking these figures for what
they are worth it makes an additional
