We HAVE EACH of us our pet insanity. There's
your irrepressible angler, for example, who will
sit all day in the blazing SUD watching bobb'ng
cork, for no better reward than few meagre fish
that he himself would turn up his nose at if he
saw them in Washington market. Is he rationale
The collector Of old pictures who values cracked,
dirty, smoke-dried uninteligible mass of faded
pigments, which was good for little when new, and
has become absolute rubbish by the action of time
and the hard usage il has richly deserved-is he
corapos n,ent,s? The worshipper Of old books, who
values them for their dates not their contents what
ia he? Thelexcon gives him his right tite-a biblio-
maniac. The healthy self-deceiver who insists on
being valetudina1 ian tries every system ofmedi-
cal treatment in turn, and would inevitably poison
himself but for the vigor which he swears he lacks
what shall we say of him2 Verify, he is mad
enough for straight jacket. As mad as he, is the
crotchetty politician who fancies that there is but
one way to prevent the nation f:om going to des-
truction. and that he has the patent for it. Mad
der still is the social philosopher who proposes to
knock into chaos the moral and religious systems
under which tho civilized world has prospered,
and to reconstruct society after new plan which,
whenever it has been tiled on small scale' mas
failed utterly and scandslously. Happy are they
whose minor irsanities are pleasant to themselves
and harmless to their noighbors.

n The Springfield Republican says: "Gen. Pope
evidently supposes that Congress ordered the
pending elections in tho South not to ascertain
the opinion and feeling Of the people, but to COM
pei them to q prescribed cor-se, whatever they
may think or choose. They are free to speak and
sot, but only as Congress and the military COM
manders dictate. General GRANT must enlighten
General PoPE, or what President LINCOLN once
said Of his military career will soon be said OF his

movements enough, but most Of them are wind. ;"
The Trieste Gazette says that arrangements
have been made for importing articles from India
to Russia by way Of suez and Trieste, instead of
by the way of Good Hope, as hitherto. This new
route will enable Indian goods to be sent to Rus
sis in from two to three months less time than at
present, and will therefore probably cause large
increase in these imports. In 1866 the total weight
Of the articles sent from India to Russia by the
old route was 100000 cwt., and from Italy 50O-
600 cwt. As these a, ticles will now pass through
Austria, it may be anticipated that that country
viii, equally with Russia, benefit largely by the
new arrangement.
There have been many queer verdicts rendered
by coroners aud other jules since the days Of
sHAxsPHAREs "Crow ner's quest" but none has
exceeded, IN originality and ce1sain g1;muess Of
humor, that rendered, not long since, by q coro-
ners jury in Montana. It is pity that the details
Of the victims previous fe are not given that the
verdict might be Logically deduced rom cause to
effect by the reader; but an that is reported is,
that one HUGH McE1 BOY, miper, shot h;mseK de-
liberately through the head With his revolver.
while lying sbed, and that coroner's jul having
been duly called, aud the afla;- investigated in
form by these gentlemen, they finally returned the
following Yerdiet. "That the deceased committed
suicide, and tina. he did 80 in se'Edefence."
The tired swells Of Paris have found a new SEN
sstion. They propel velocipedes in the Bois de
Bou,oene, by the cascade. Among the amateurs
are some Of the most eminent men in Paris
Priuce MuRAT, Count SAvERN and others. Some
Of these have become 80 skillful as to go twenty
four kilometres (ffteen miles) an hour, without
the least fatigue. Some grand races during the
Autumn are at present being organized, the course
to be gone over extending from the Rornd-point
Of the Champs Elysees to Saint Cloud. Several
trials have been made, and the distance has been
done in thirteen minutes. In fact some considers
bic bets we're made on that occasion. These gen.
tlemen are about to form velocipede club, to be
devoted to the new sport.

Many a person has seen a pet canary,
or rather bird, in a state Of perturbation,
plucking at himself continually, his

The cause Of his wretchedness has nots
been found out. If the owner of q pet
in such difficulties viii take down the
cage and look up to the roof thereof,
there will most likely be seen a mass Of
stuff like red rust. That red rust is moth
ing more or less than myriads of para

In Senate yesterday, after many urgent in
ouiries for information, and "the expediency of"
&C., an interesting debate occurred upon the
resolution declaring for neutrality in the affair
of Great Britain uerSus Abyssinia. After this
the grave and reverend Senators spent an hour
in discussing the duties and privileges of the
Sergeant at Arms. Then came another batch
of resolutions asking for information, &c. (most
of which may be found in the files OF 1HE
TRIBUNE from 6 to IS months ago. There
was nothing else of Importance done.
In the House, on the call for bills and reso-
lutiOns, the following, among others, were IN
trodnced: For decimal weights and measures (;
to remove distractions in Hell Gate reported
bv Democrat); to exempt less than $4,000 OF
manufactured goods from taxation f; to absolve
all naturalized citizens from foreign
allegiance; to destroy 100000 per
month of 9reenbacks to provide for
the resumption of specie payments TO
provide against undue contraction of the cur
rency; to tax non-interest bearing treasury
notes; to refund income tax taken from army
and navy officers during the war; to amend
the Reconstruction act, so that q majority OF
those voting at an election may enact laws.
After the morning hour, debate was continued
on the Message, the main discussion being
upon the purchase of Russian America. After
long talk, the matter was left with the
Foreign Affairs Committee. The Senate bill
making five Judges quorum of the United
States Supreme Court, was adopted The bill
striking the word white from all laws of the
District of Columbia, was passed. After some
discussion upon Internal Revenue, the House

BOV ROSS WOULD DO 1T.

The Hon Lewis w. Ross is Copperhead of
the Illinois breed-not a good variety Of the un-
likely species. In the casual debate of Satur-
day he managed to deliver himself to the
following effect:
l. He desires to see our paper currency still
farther watered;'
g. He wants tho National Bank notes called
in, and more illegal tender issued In their
stead;
g. He wants the bonds issued and owing by
the Government subjected to taxation in def
ance of the Governments pledge that they
shall not be;
a. He wants to issue gradually" greenbacks
enough to pay off the National Debt
g. He holds that the bonds may thus be "paid
"of,n one-sixth to one-eighth per annum, and
thinks the legal tender act has thus Opened
"way to the people to get rid Of the enormous
"debtn
We ask Messrs. Butler and Stevens to look
at their own faces in the glass that Mr.. Ross
holds up before them. If the counterfeit pre-
SENTIMENT does not fatter, we can't say that
the fault is in the glass.
Mr.. Ross detests the bondholders, because
they furnished the needful means whereby the
Rebellion was put down. He will cheat them
if he can, because they thwarted his fond de-
sires that the Union should BIO reconstructed
on the Montgomery platform. BY the help of
the doctrine of Total Depravity, we can readily
account for Mr.. Ross's demonstration But
even such strong meat does not enable us to
explain the "aid and comfort he is receiving
from Messrs. Butler and Stevens.
Mr.. Ross is not satisfied with being scoun-
drel himself he insists that the people are all
scoundrels, especially at the West He talks
to Mr.. E. Washburne after this insolent
fashion:
He would tell his coea gue that, n he planted himself
the bondhoders platform. he would soon find himself
solitary aud alone Oh that platform In the State Of I'LL
nois. His colleague ras milling 10 turn 90 The decTe SOL
der. and he cidors and orphans Of soldiers Nth pay.
en paper CURRENCY and TO reserre the gold to pay OF
the rich 6o,,dholders."
--Messrs. Republicans who vote to "water
the currency n-or against getting the water
out of lido you mean to let Ross and his tel-
low Regulators put that issue upon youf We
protest against it, and you ought to know bet
ter than to allow it. Rely on it, no course is
wise or safe that does not lead right on TO
Resumption, and thus to one Currency, for bond
holders, pensioners, and everybody else.
