JUNIUS BRUTUS BOOTH.
HIstriOnic Insanity.

The April Number of the American
Journal Of Insanity, has an article by DR.
A. o. Kellogg, on Junius Brutus Booth,
which considers the question of the mental
alteration Of the most original Of Ameri-
can actors. 1t says, comparing the elder
with the younger Booth:
Admirable as il the latter, and in some
of his delineations so near does he APP
proach perfection, that the most severe
critic can scarcely find cause for cayil, still
it must be admitted, by all who have seen
the elder Booth, that the son lacks that
power OF complete self-abnegation and en-
tire identification with the character en-
acted possessed by his father. In this re-
spect, in beholding the elder Booth, we
felt that we witnessed the very consum-
nation Of all that could possibly be de-
sired. When he appeared as Richard"
be did not seem 10 us one merely acting
the character, but as Orchard" he lived,
moved, and had his being :" and the
same must be said Of his Lear" snd
"Shylock." 1t is well known that in en-
acting "RicharP 40 complete was his self
forgeIfulness, and 80 Scanning Of fence"
was he, that most Of his fellows actors were
fearful of facing him as "Richmond" in
the last death struggle, least he really put
an end to them upon the stage; and fire.
quently he had to be reminded that he
was merely personating character, and
must suffer himself to be slain, at times,
indeed, no light task. .... I'D ......
No nervous organization, however strong
and complete originally, can endure the
extreme tension necessary for such efforts
for any great length of time without having
to succumb, and the best reasons that can
be given why he did not break down earli-
or and more completely, are to be found in
the irregulaFity with which he pursued his
calling as an actor, his extreme love for
retirement into the bosom Of his family, and
for domestic and agricultural pursuits The
following anecdOte from the memorialg
speaks more than volumes written on the
preservation Of health. 'Mr. Flynn haV-
ing obtained from my father a promise to
perform for his benefit, sought him IN his
retirement to remind him that the time Of
was rapidly approaching.

THE New York Sun says a very singular
case has recently come before the State 81
preme Court in that city. Many years ago
wealthy merchant named Humphreys
married poor girl, and had by her two
sons and one daughter. The sons grew up
and became lunatics; the daughter mar
ried, had children, and is now dead
Twenty -four years ago the merchant died,
and his widow administered on the estate,
managing it, it ia charged, in sarh a way
as to get most Of the property, amounting
in all 10 over$lOO,O00, into her own hands.
Recently the widow died, leaving the bulk
Of the property by will 10 child Of the
deceased danghser. On behalf of the
Iunaiics it II now coDtended that the will is
imperative, because the property really
belonged, not 10 the widow, their mother
bat 20 their father, and should go 20 them.

After the reading of the resolutions

which maRilestly met with much approval
by the. convention, 20 get the Involvement
Of the thirty-hve senators who voted for
the conviction Of johnson, followed by a
denunciation Of the nineteen who voted
against IL This threw the convention
into great disorder. Cheers, calls to order,
and demands for the previous question
mingled in turbulent uproar. Carl Schurz
only increased the disorder by attempting

which the, convention seemed very suspi-
cious, The previous question was vigor-
oilsly demanded, and after renewed efforts,
persisiently put forward by the more ar

THE IMpEACHmENT PROsPECr.

The Washington correspondents of the
Cincinnati Commercidf writes on the DIST
inst as follows
Great confidence is felt in Radical cir
Cles that the second article of Impeachment
will be adopted on Tuesday, and the Con-
servatiyes agree that the result is very
doubtful. Ii Is conceded at present that
the vote il 10 be taken on Tuesday. Messrs.
Anthony, Sprague and Wiley are claimed
for the second article, and will probably so
vote Mr. Ross is also claimed for this
article The second article will, it is be-
lieved, be FIRST voted on, and, if defeated,
there is no hope for any Of the Others.
Messrs. Blaine, Stevens and others give
up Impeachment, and declare that there is
no hope of success. Instead of Messrs.
Butler and Bingham, il ia reported that
Mr. Stanton has been the principal adviser
in the movement and that the disaster on
Saturday is due entirely TO a disregard Of
his counsels.
The Boston AdUertiscT condemns the re-
cent Butler Investigations, and Mr.. Blaine
is also said 20 disapprove it. Mr.. Ferry
expressly, and Mr.. Conkling by implica-
ton, express similar views.
Senator Fowler filed his argument on
the impeachment question on Thursday,
and he came out squarely against every
article. 1t is said that this places the
issue impeachment upon Mr. Ross.

THE New York Post Republican, } re-
ferring 10 the vote on the eleventh arti-
Gle, says:
"The only disgraceful vote cast on Satur-
day was that OF Mr.. Wade, who, with a
reckless abandonment Of deccncy and pro-
priety, voted for conviction, and for his
own elevation TO the Presidency, when il
was believed by himself and the other sup
porters Of impeachment that conviction
would be obtained by only single vote
We shall be surprised ifMr. Wade's course
in this matter does not drive him out Of
public life; il has certainly lost him the
respect aud confidence Of all impartial
minds"
The first step toward driving Mr.. Wade
out of public life was taken at Chicago,
when even the Ohio friends of Mr.. Wade
deserted him, and he was slaughtered by
his friends
