COLUMBUS, o., III RsDAY MORNING,

Mr.. A. has been placed among the
incurable of an asylum for the insane.
His brain is -softening, and his once bril-
liant intellect is becoming idiotic, and
what is, left of his estate is in the hands
of trustees, andsthat there is anything
left of it is probably due in no small de-
gree to the vigilance of his partners
Had it not been for this, bankruptcy
might have preceded lunacy,a as lin the
case of the unfortunate Eastman This
roll call of business men crazed by spec
ulation might be prolonged, but we have
room to add but another instance. 10 This
is that foone who, though notoa resi-
dent of this city. was largely known in
its financial circles. Hewas bred to the
banking business, and was more than
thirty years connected with aniiim-
portants bank, which he at first en-
riched by his Financial sagacity, and
then ruined by his subsequent mania
for speculation. man made,
from small beginnings, an enormous for
time. His knowledge of stocks was, by
his friends, considered almost equal to
prescience, and his advice was eagerly
sought on this subject. He was known
to have made large sums by operating
in Wall street, but the secret Of his
losses he kept SO close that none dream
ed that any had occurred. These losses
increased, and fortune turned against
him with an aspect of doom. For two
years he kept the fearful secret safe from
the world, but the burden at last became
too great, and his intellect sank suddenly
beneath it., The miserable man was con-
veyed to lunatic asy lum, where he still
remains. With the newsof his insanity
came that of financial ruin. His private
fortune had been sunk, and in the hope
to retrieve it, he had staked the capital
of his bank, and this had been lost also.
His fall. as is common under such cir
cumstances, carried a wide extent of
misfortune. ~, :. -, rs. - 7io ,. ~ = =. =
These incidents illustrate what takes
place "behind the scenes" in the history
of modern speculation, and while the
world is dazzled by the splendid success
of the few, it is well to contemplate the
more abundant, though less noticed re-
suits of making haste to get rich. In
sanity is becoming fearful feature in
the business circle of this city, and what
is the most painful circumstance in this
fatality is, that its victims are found
among the most gifted and promising
characters. Several of this class have
died lately at the institution at Hartford
a fair representation may be found at
the Bloomingdale Asylum, and we be-
lieve most of the American madhouses
are equally supplied from this city.

THREE THOUSAND YEARS Aao.-The
Oldest relic Of humanity extant is the
skeleton Of one Of the earlier Pharaohs,
encased in its original burial robes, and
wonderfully perfect, considering It's age,
which was deposited about eighteen or
twenty months.ago in the British Mu-
scum and is justly considered the most
valuable Of its archaeological treasures
The lid of the coffin which contained
the royal mummy was inscribed with
the name Of its occupant, Pharaho My
kerimus, who succeeded the heir of the
builder Of the great pyramid, about ten
centuries before Christ. Only think Of
it, the monarch whose crumbling bones
and leathery integuments are now ex-
citing the numerous gazers in London,
reigned in Egypt before Solomon was
born, and only about eleven centuries
or 80 after Mizraim, the grandson Of
old father Noah and the first Of the
Pharahos, had been gathered to his
fathers Why, the tide mark Of the
deluge could hardly have been oblitea
ted, or the gopher wood knee-tinbers
of the ark have rotted on Mount Ara
rat, when this man Of the early world |
lived, moved, and had his being! His
flesh and blood we're contemporary
with the progenitors Of the great pa
triarch His bones and shriyelled
skin are contemporary with the nine
teenth century, and the date of the
crucifxion is only about midway be-
tween his era and ours.

LAW ASEgDorE-You have all heard
Of Counsellor Higgins, of the State OF
who died many years ago He
was exceedingly adroit in defending a
prisoner, and would sometimes almost
laugh down an indictment for a small
offence. A fellow tone SMITH being
on trial for stealing a turkey, the coun-
sellor attempted to give a good hu-
mano turn to the affair Why, gentle
men Of tho jury" said he, "this is real

We shall have business enough to our

mon than TO 60 ont foraging. We
used TO have many a good supper IN
this way We did no, get the poultry
too often in the same place, and there
sas no harm done, no fault found. -
Notwithstanding this appeal the jury
convicted the prisoner. After Ia e
Court rose one q the jury, a plain old
Iarmer, meeting the counsellor, COM
olimented him On bis ingenuity, "and
