Insanity in California.

~HT-~. 's~-SE2''a AASS~AAAOy 40 OAl
the increase in this State. The
additions to our population do
not account. for this increase,
for the number of insane per-
sons is larger in proportion
than the addition of sane ones.
The theory that has been gen.
orally put forward to account
for the alarming prevalence of
insanity here, namely, that the
vicissitudes of the early days
OF California had. undermined
the constitutions of those who
came here then, and that the
abnormal habits and conditions
of life produced an unhealthy
strain upon the brain, does not
hold good, for the reason that,
if it were sound, we should find
insanity decreasing as home
comforts and domestic habits
increase, and as excitements be-
came fewer. The problem pre-
sented by the existing state of
affairs in this connection, is a
most interesting and important
one, and it demands, the close
attention and study of scientific
and medical men. Some clue
to the solution may perhaps be
found iii the proportions of the
sufferers, and the classes to
which they belong. Thus, we
find that of 4S2 persons admit
ted to the Asylum last year,
$50 were men, and 102 women.
Ofmen 81 were married, and
$50 single. This would seem
to show that the married state
is more conducive to a sane
mind in a sound body than ce-
libacy. But this theory is over
turned by the statistics of the
female department., which show
that while 66 patients we're
married women, 26 only were
single. Perhaps the married
state is more favorable to sani-
ty in husbands than wives, and,
strange as this seems, it may
be accounted for by the labori-
GUS life led by many house
keepers, who cannot afford to
pay the extravagant rates de-
manded by'servant girls on this
coast. The proportion of pa
tients of foreign birth is more
than 80 per cent. of the whole,
and out Of the 49, patients, no
less than $50 are set down as
miners and laborers; showing
that exposure. privations and
general hardship and irregular
ity ofliving, tell upon this class
terribly. But apart from these
there is q large class in whom
insanity is difficult to account
for. Business reverses are al.
legged as the causes in several
instances, but we know that
thousands upon thousands OF
men experience similar failures
in the older States, and do.not
become insane. It is necessa-
ry that this matter should be
looked into closely, and thai
mo possible cause forthisalarm
ling increase Of insanity should
be overlooked. First. there i

sooner here than in any other
part of the world. Again, we
have not yet acquired anything
like steady habits. Dissipation
is rather the rule than the ex-
ception; and though business
men seldom get actually drunk,
there is an immense amount of
quiet tippling and dram drink
ing done in this State. This
custom we believe to be at the
bottom of a large number of
the cases of insanity. A man
takes his ten or twelve drinks
of whisky a day, perhaps for
years. He may never be abso-
lutely intoxicated during the
whole of this time, but neither
is he ever, absolutely sober. By
and by his brain, which has
been gradually yielding to the
influence of alcoholic poison,
gives way suddenly, and he be-
comes a hopeless wreck. IN
questionably the man who
drinks habitually is less able to
withstand the shock Of sudden
business reverses than he whose
head is clear and free from the
benumbing effects of whisky,
and such reverses may at any
time precipitate a result which
would have come sooner or la
ter, and then the insanity is at
tlibuted to the least shameful
cause, as a matter of kindness
and delicacy. But there can
be no doubt that we all live in
an atmosphere of excitement
extremely prejudicial to the
health of the brain, and that we
yield toe freely to the influ-
ences which a peculiarly slim
ulative climate and exception
ably exciting circumstances ex-
ercise. If the present Legisla-
ture would. appoint a commits
sion into the subject, and dis
cover the real causes of the in
crease Of insanity in this State,
they would be doing the com
munity some service.-[Sacra-

A Kentucky Breach Of Promise Case.

Theresa Gahlhaus, young girl about
the age of "sweet sixteen" the daughter
of an estimable widowed lady of this city
was wooed and won by Henry Hostetter,
(no relation to the bitters man, an old
gentleman who has long since passed the
meridian of life, but who possesses a
reasonable amount of filthy lucre, together
with other property, consisting Of stocks
bonds, and other securities. This, of
itself, was no uncommon occurrence, but
with its sequel, it has formed a social sem
sation in the neighborhood which will
be food for the gossips many days hence.
1t came about thusl y: The old gentle
man whose wife died about three months
ago, realized, from sad experience, the
force of the scriptural adage. {" 1t is
not good for man to be alone" and look
ing about him with an eye to business,
it fell with an admiring gaze upon
Theresa, who was employed as domes-
tic in the family Of a gentleman on 18th
street, and who is said to be very pref
ty girl. The old gentleman became ac-
quainted with the girl through his re-
lations with her brothers, who rent from
him one Of two farms which he owns in
the country His, suit progressed very
favorably, and he soon brought matters
to a crisis by offering his hand and his
real estate to his inamorata, who accept
ed them with the distinct understanding
that they were to be like the States Of
the Union, "one and inseperable." To
this arrangement, Barkis was willing
the preliminaries were settled, and the
marriage ceremony was to take place at
St. Johns church, on the 11th instant.
Every arrangement for the wedding had
been completed except, to the-expectant
bride, the most important one, that OF
making to her veed to two farms in
Jefferson county, valued at $4,000. AT
an early hour, on the morning of the 1lth
st. Johns church was filled with an anx.
ious and expectant audience, that had as
sembled to witness the union of Decem
ber and May and till very late hour
was it known that the old mans darling
had gone back on him. The young lady
says that she is only waiting for him tc
perform his part of the contract, wher
