GENERAL NOTES.

The degree of enterprise required in con-
Quoting newspapers In the interior OF this STATE may W
inferred from the circumstance that The B'ngha"fo"
Republican of the sd Of May, prints ullength report
OF the Womans Suffrage Convention held IN that cry
dalayed We trust that newspaper does not suppose
that in the words Of Mr. Tpots, "its no consequence
Mr.. Conway, the State superintendent OF
Public Schools in Louisiana, is said to adhere firmly 10
the position he has taken in favor Of giving negroes the
same rights as whites respect to having their children
educated In those Institutions. His full adhesion to this
view was doubted by correspondent of The hse
Times and IL is said that statement rearrnlhg Ms
POSITION failed to obtain insertion in that paper IL Is
repored that teachers In the schools nlthough te
n o pi fG TO their duties in mixed
schools organized under the new law, and about leo
new applicants ready in case OF need 10 MI their
places 1t is expected that vote on the question OF
schootax will throw light upon the views OF the majority
Of electors concerning this subject which now sroaty
agitates the people OF Louisiana
Some light may be thrown upon the ques-
ton as TO the dminuon Of numbers among the cOored
population OF the South by the mortuary statistics OF ga
yannah. In 1854 there unusual mortality among
the white inhabitants of that city in consequence OF yell
low fever but no Increase Of deaths the coored
population similar statement is true OF yellow fever
and OF miasmatic diseases In 1855 In 1864, there was
large Of mortality among white people but the
records show that these principally soldiers In nos
pal. 1t until 1866 that we find an unusual IN
Of deaths among colored people In tnat year W
there has been decrease OF the rate OF hOrtnty OF
whites until Savannah wishes To be put upon record
OF the heahest places in the world her ratio OF
such deaths being about threefths that OF this city,
died there last year in the fun ratio OF NewYork and in
1868 in nearly twice the ratio OF their white neigbors
Since 1870, the fire and marine insurance
companies Massachusetts, according to the report OF
the Insurance Commissioner show ratio OF faure-in-
Guiding those that gave up in despair without completing
their organizatOn-Of than 70 per cent Their
listing number has actually diminished Il per cent within
nil VI other
in to do business in that State, increasing Their
cent The progress of outside HE insurance companies
is in greater ratio. Against Massachusetts Ire
the Of "a companies OF this state, OF
Connecticut and Is OF other States Although the total
fire and marine losses exceeded those Of the previous
year by per cent the mutual fire companies OF Massa
chusetts had 80 per cent and the mutual nIe ana blhe
companies "a per cent remaining for return premiums
while the joint stock companies made profit OF nearly
% per cent on their capital The companies from other
sOOOO SO that altogether it has not been bad year
for underwriters.
There is further contribution to the science
of insanity 1t to the world through the church,
and the pulpit has announced the physiological discov-
cry The Rev. c. C. FoOe OF this city has related the
marvellous history OF young lady Of his acquaintance,
while metropolitan audience listened with ears erect.
This young lady angry with her husband " Hell
hath fury like woman scorned" so angry that 1t
made her sick fact not to be doubted in the light of
sexual The doctor called ill., Conceive the scene:
the lady raying with lrrepresoibe fry Dr. sangrado
welding his lancet ana a1rmlng by the shade OF hippo
crates that she he bcd She was, and thereupOn
her reverend bographer states blood found TO
be full of froth and oam much that it overlooked
| the bowl that was held TO catch II, and also a
milkpan" The specific cause of this phenomenon Is not
open 10 question. Ii all the result Of her ungov-
ernable rage" Here then have it. What can be ex
pected of brain where the blood is up to such an as
TOMS hing Pitch could anything be more selfevident
Half the suicides that occur in the community saith
the reverend FOOe, care species of insanity resulting
from this yielding to passion" To all ordinary women
and menfroth, air in the blood would be the prelude Of
instant death The healing art knows noreedy for sueh
accident were IL known, would there be time to
apply it, But the crend Foote's acquaintance was
fearuly and wonderfully made. For all he states to the
contrary she yet lives, licensed doubt by this spe
ces of insanity TO shoot her husband or any other man,
