RETURN TO REASON AFTER FORTY YEARS
OF 1NsANITY.-About forty years ago q
young lady, eighteen years Of age, full of
life and beauty, and resident of this
county, from some unknown, or at least I'M
governable, cause became suddenly in
sane. For some time she remained beneath
the roof of her parents, and received the
united efforts and sympathy of her relatives
and friends, but all to no avail. The men
tai faculties were too surely broken. A
short time after, she became an inmate Of
our county poorhouse, at Dewityille, where
she remained until few days since, Gu
riosity to strangers and wholly lost to her
self. Well We remember, three yesrs since,
while paying visit to the county buildings
at that place, noting the very strange ap-
pearance of "Crazy Ann" There was
something peculiar about her arrangement,
30 much 30 that we have often called to
mind incidents Of her conversation and
manners. But few days since "Crazy
Ann" resumed her proper cognomen, and
is again sane. What sleep! Forty years
Of blank existence, and now stranger to
herself. She resumes life where she left it
when young and beautiful and the COM
panion of the gay and mirthful. Now she
is old, feeble, and gray, in the enjoyment
only of the fact that she is again rational,
and busily engaged in making her own &C
quaintance.-Jamesto,on IN. ~ Press.

BANQUET TO CHARLES DIcKENs.-Liver-
pool, April 10, Midnight.-A banquet to
Charles Dickens was given this evening at
st. Georges Hall, in this city. About 700
gentlemen sat down to the table, and there
were also many spectators. Henry Hough-
ton and Hepworth Dixon presided. Lord
Dufferin made pleasant speech. He re-
GREETED that Mr.. Dickens had not entered
the field of politics. lie would have been
power in the House of Commons and o
fellow peer of Macaulay. Lord Lytton, in
glowing terms, proposed the health of
Charles Dickens, when Mr.. Dickens, with
much emotion, responded. He said, in re-
ferring to the remarks of Lord Duferin,
that after mature deliberation he had de-
cided to stand and fall by literature, and
not to enter politics. Thus far he had not
regretted his decision.
Anthony Trolloppe also responded to a
sentiment. He eulogized Washington Ir-
wing, Mr.. Motley, and the American peo-
pie. The latter we're always willing to re-
cognize publicly the honor due to literary
men. He closed by limiting that the ap-
pointment of Charles Dickens as Minister
to Washington might be beneficial to both
countries.

HOMICIDE IN HARTFORD COUNTY, MD.-A
WOMAN SHOOTS A MAN.-Belair, Hartford
county, Md, April ia case of homicide
occurred last evening at Jarrettsville, in
this county. The facts as stated are as fol-
lows: A Miss Cairnes suddenly appeared
on the hotel porch at Jarretrsville,
where there were twenty or thirty persons
assembled, and drawing pistol, before any
one could arrest her, fired three shots st,
and mortally wounded, o Mr.. Nicholas
McCemas, who died soon after. She gave
herself up to the authorities to-day. The
parties live in the neighborhood of Jar

As to the States of Virginia and Miss

AS to the States of Virginia and Missis-
sippi, there is good authority for saying
that President Grant gave assurances Sa-
turday to gentlemen from those States that
he would, in executing the late RECONSTRUCT
ton act Of Congress, order the constitu-
tons of the States named to be submitted
to vote of the people in such o manner
that the obnoxious clauses could be voted
on separately, and voted down by ma
jority, without affecting the validity of the
rest of the instrument, thus securing the
reconstruction of those States and at. the
same time defeating the objectionable
clauses in their constitutions. This was
the proposition of Judge Baldwin and the
rest of the Richmond committee. Wash

BUTLER AND SCHENCK HAVE ANOTHER
BoUT.--During al the night session Of the
House Friday night [says a Washington
letter in the Baltimore SUM there was 8
little breeze between Generals Butler and
Schenck IA parting shot on each side) which
momentarily roused the House. The mat
ter grew out of the debate on the whiskey
and tobacco tax bill and insinuations here
tofore made by General Butler and repeat
ed on Friday night. In reply, General
schenck used some very pointed and bitter
expressions. He said, among other things,
that he admired an open foe, for he knew
then where to find him and what course TO
pursue, but he had the utmost contempt
for the bastard who would not only delibe-
rately lie, but who, by insinuating remarks,
added cowardice to the falsehood and he
thanked God that his disposition did not
carry him in that direction, and that he
never engaged in that sort of contest.
General Butler, who had been on one Of
the lounges on the Democratic side of the
House, here appeared upon the scene, and,
coolly smoking his cigar, walked over to his
seat. Mr.. Logan, who had also made much
opposition to the bill, asked Mr.. Schenck if
he alluded to him. Mr.. Schenck replied
negatively. Mr.. Butler here desired to ask
question, and everybody was on the gu
viUe to know what was coming. The Mas
sachusetts member avoided the direct ques-
ton, but asked Mr.. Schenck if he had never
read of the Pharisee who said he thanked
God that he was not as other men. Mr..
Schenck said he had, and added that the
gentleman from Massachusetts wss perfect
" familiar with it doubtless, because every
thing that smacked of hypocrisy was fa-
miliar to the gentleman, however it might
come. This created O momentary sensa-
ton, but it soon passed off, apparently, al
though General Butler, alluding to it after
wards, said he would, at the proper time
show by incontrovertible proof that what
had been characterized as insinuations had
a real foundation in fact.

EXCITEMENT IN THE GOLD RooM.-Ne,o
York, April 1.-THE excitement in the
gold room yesterday seems to have been &C.
casioned by the efforts of bull clique to
lock up gold in opposition to the operations
of prominent bears. The difficulty about
the payment of certified gold checks by the
New York banks seems to have been in the
feet that holders presented them yesterday,
instead of holding them, as is customary,
until the next business morning. The total
amount of checks 60 presented was 81 $780,
600. One million was paid, when further
payment was refused for want of gold. A
settlement was, however, arranged without
the checks going to protest.

Legislation Concerning tho UNITED
States Courts.


There has been no publication as to whe-
ther or not the bill in Congress concerning
the United States Judiciary has been s:gu-
ed by the President.
[The published list of bills passed does
net include this one.l
It provides for one more justice of the
Supreme Court, and that upon the resigna-
ton Of any justice, after he has reached
the age of seventy years and has served
ten years, he will continue to receive his
salary during life.
1t provides for the appointment Of nine
circuit judges, who are to sit with the dis
trict judges in the trial Of cases.
They are to be reinforced in their duties
once in two years in the district court by
the United States supreme judge belonging
to their circuit. 1t is understood that the
duty Of the latter in the regard will be
only supervisory, and that there will be no
protracted labor on their part in the courts
below, except in some extraordinary case,
where great weight Of judicial character
would be particularly appropriate, if not
necessary.
In fact, the new system gives freedom
lron excessive anu auSWentihS 1huoIlous-
ness to the judges of the Supreme Court,
who will thereby be enabled to hold two
terms in banc at Washington each year
one in the spring and another in autumn.
Besides, it is not right in principle that
the judge in the court below shall sit in
the court above, and take part in deter
mining upon his own decisions upon ap-
peal to the full bench. We doubt if the
system exists in any country but our own.
The circuit judges are not to be appointed
until after the lst of November next. The
object of Congress in making this provision
WAS to give time to the legal profession to
make known their @iews and claims con-
corning appointees, to the end that they
may be able, experienced, and learned in
the law.-National Intelligencer.

: DETAILS OF THE MINNESOTA Tragedy

DETAILS CT THE MINNESOTA TRAGEDY
BUTCHERY OF ANOTHER FAMILY By AN
INSANE FATHER.-A dispatch to the Chicago
Times from ST.. Paul gives the details of the
horrible murder which occurred last week
in Oakdale township, ten miles from that
city. 1t says:
GA farmer named James B. Grey, well
known in that section, in fit Of insanity
killed his wife and four children-the lat
ter consisting of two boys, aged eighteen
and eight, and two girls, aged Eve and
three years. The man was about forty years
old, large and powerfully built, and has
many relatives in the neighborhood. He
has lately been suffering from deafness, and
grew insane over it.
"The deed was committed about day
light. The neighbors heard Mrs. Grey
scream, and, going to the house, found the
wife and four children cut to pieces with
an axe, and the murderer endeavoriDg to
hang himself. He ives arrested and lodged
in st. Paul jail, where it required three or
four men to hold him. In answer to inqui-
ries he would only reply, Il killed them
| all with an axe. Oh, hang me' The wife
was murdered first, being cut in the head
and stabbed several times. The children
were then murdered, and placed in row
on the floor, their Threats so badly cut as to
nearly sever the heads from the bodies.
"The murderer had evidently chopped
their heads with on axe, mutilsting them
80 as to render recognition almost impossi-
BILE. The prisoner, at intervals of the pa
ment detailing the particulars of the muir
der. He says his motive was that he
feared he was coming to poverty and the
family would be left destitute, and 80
thought it would be better to send them to
Heaven at once. The prisoner tried to beat
his brains out several times by jumping
against the sides of his cell. The unfortu-
nate man is q native of Harrisburg, Penn"
