Growth of Insanity.

lished fact that insanity is on
the increase in the world, and
that the increase is in those
countries where, by all the rules
of modern social philosophy,
it ought to be diminishing-in
civilized States. Tt is in adj
vanced societies and enlighten-
ed social conditions that we
have the most healthful devel-
opment of mind, the most ac-
rurate knowledge of its needs
and diseases, and the most per-
feet command Of the agencies
and remedies that heal lis ma
ladies. 1t is here that we have
labor. business, study, thought,
pleasure and repose, all reduc-
ed to system and regulated by
fixed rules. But it seems that
civilization has its cost, as well
as other luxuries, and that q
greater tendency to insanity is
a part of that cost. The statis-
tics of lunacy in England show
that insanity has grown faster
than population in that country
that while the population has
increased from 19,6S6,701 to
q, ,866,607 within the last ten
years, the number of lunatics
has increased from onein every
536 to one in All, during the
same time. While the popula-
ton has increased II per cent.
in ten years, the number Of In
natics has increased Al per ct.
One interesting reflection sug-
gested by this fact is the start
ling possibility that, if the ratio
of insane persons to the whole
population continues to grow
at this rate for 240 years, the
year 211O A. D. will see the
British isles transformed into a
mad house, without a single
sane person in them to look af-
the maniacs.
The causes of this increase of
mental disease are found in the
alarming growth of pauperism.
1t is amongst the very poor
classes that the greatestnumber
of lunatics is found, and it is
said the fact is the result of the
poverty and squalor in which
they live-proying that health
full bodily conditions are nee
essary to healthful mental con-
ditions, and that the first need
of a people is physical comfort.
But insanity is know to be on
the increase in all the civilized
portions of the World-the
greatest ratio ofincrease being
lin Paris, and the next in Ger
many. There are no general
statistics of lunacyin the Unit
ed States, but common obser-
vation proves to every intelli-
gent person that the tendency
to insanity has greatly increas'
ed within the last ten years
the result, no doubt, of the ac-
tivity, anxiety, and the excess
es that mark our life.-[St

BE REGULAR.-If you would
enjoy good health, be regular
in all your habits. Have regu-
lar times for eating, and eat at
no other times. Whatever sys-
tenn you adopt-ene, two or
three meals per day-be regu-
lar about it. Do not eat two
meals one day, and three the
next. Better eat three meals
a day. Retire and rise at reg
ular hours. Have a regular
time for exercise. ArrangeyOur
work, whatever it may be, so
that it can be attended to dur
ing certain hours, and have
other hours for regular recrea-
ton, study, etc. In short, have
a regular hour for everything,
as far as possible, and let every
thing be done at the appointed
time.

Flowers.

yield as large sum of pleasure
at so cheap a cost as the cult
walton of flowers; and it is a
pure, innocent pleasure that
never clogs, that leaves no
dregs ofbitternessin it's chalice,
that does not surfeit the tastes,
nor blunt the faculties. On the
contrary, it exalts and refnes
the faculties and tastes; it en-
mobiles and expands those emo
tions that constitute the better
part of our nature. Would we
learn how infinite in power and
goodness is the Creator, and
how worthy Of our service and
adOration7 Let us study the
indescribable delicacy and ac-
curacy of structure of flowers,
their myriad tints and shapes,
and the lavish profusion with
which they are strewn over the
earth? Would we learn how
sweet a virtue is humility2 The
violet teaches the lesson. Would
we learn the strength Of that
weakness that trusts serenely
to Providence? Behold how
easily the blue-bells, beaten into
the earth by the tempest which
spreads devastations amid the
habitations of man, lift their
heads after the storm is past,
and smile more brightly for the
shock they have endured.-
Would we learn how necessary
it is that both heaven and earth
should blend in our lives? ? Wit
ness the plant whose roots cling
to the soil While its head rises
toward the sky, assimulating
the moisture and the organic
ingredients of the earth, the
light of the sun, and the gasses
of the air in this complex and
fragile mechanism. The mys-
terry ofplant life is a solemn and
profound one, which the most
learned philosophers and chem
lists have studied for ages with
out being able to comprehend
or explain. The plant is a liv-
ing thing-not sensitive and
intelligent as we understand
the words when applied to the
phases of human life, but yet
exhibiting the phenomenon Of
vitality in a most interesting
manner. 1t lives TO die, and it
dies to live notwithstanding
to us the inspiring truths oil

may lose sight of them in

TIE CESsus.--The census taker has
finished his labors in the First and Sec
ond Wards. We have not seen the of
fetal figures but hear that he reports
the population of the First Ward at
5000 souls and the Second Ward at
1900. IL this be 30, it is manifestly in
correct. The First Ward had 600
registered voters last January. This
at a ratio of six persons for each voter
"a low estimate for that Ward-would
give us 5000. The Second Ward has
392 registered voters. At the same
ratio the census returns should show
1852 as the population of that Ward.
If all the Wards are cut down in report
of population as the two above men,
toned are said to have been, Wheeling
will 90 to the world as q city with a
population of $4,000 or $4,000 souls,
and with a registered voting population
of 1915 last January. That she has
nearer $4,000 population than 10000
we are satisfied. census taker or no cen
sus taker.

That angel in disguise, known to the
police as Mag Jones, was arrested by
Officer Richardson, near the suspension
bridge, Monday evening, drunk as she
could hold. This woman passes about
two-thirds of her time in the lookup

than to have her face washed. In de

As this is the only legitimate menag,

who object to the circus appendage

we may expect to see the mammoth

Many of the beasts are now exhibited

interesting and instructive, and should

How To LOOK YoUNG-SIXTEE.

How To LOOK YOUNG-SIXTEEN.-
Don't paint or use vile Hair Restorers,
but simply apply Hagan's Magnolia
Balm upon your face, neck and hands,
and use Lyons Katharion upon your
hair. The Balm makes your complex

cant tell what did it. 1t removes
freckles, tan, sallowness, ring-marks
moth-patches, etc. and in plce of ared
rustic face, you have the marble purity
of an exquisite belle. 1t gives to mid
die age the bloom Of perpetual youth.
And these effects to splendid head of
hair produced by the Kathairon and a

spinster sisters when these articles are

over and broke his leg. He is a man
some sixty years old, and his case is a
very critical one. Drs. w. A. Cracraft
and Elliott were called and reduced the

RIVER NEWS. 1.-The bottom Of the
river has reached the top. Charley
Fosters farm is lying high and dry
ready for the plow. The marks show
but four feet four inches here. At Pitts
burgh there is but twenty inches in the
channel
The Major Anderson arrived last
evening from Cincinnati, having been
detained by getting on the bar at Car
penter She was pretty well loaded or
she would have got through without de-
tention. She will leave for Cincinnati
this noon As she will not take
much freight this side of Parkersburg,
passengers will have a sure thing on
getting through.
The Argosy has been withdrawn
from the Pittsburgh trade. There isn't
water enough to float light draught
skiff at Glass House, let alone st am
boat. The Emma Logan is talked Of
in place of the Argosy.
If we don't have rains at the head
waters shortly navigation will be closed
entirely.
The work of enlarging the Louis
vile canal is progressing, and by the
18th of July it will have reached a
point to necessitate the closing Of that
channel to commerce, which will for
the time retard the movement Of boats,
and make Louisville the virtual head of
navigation on the Ohio. During the
summer months and the first months Of
fall the falls are scarcely navigable for
even the lightest draught steamers. 1t
is announced that the canal will remain
closed only until the lst Of November,
but it is thought by those who are con-
versant with the magnitude Of the work
to be done and.now under contract, that
it will throw its reopening, under the
most favorable auspices, far into the in-
ture.

Aid is the name Of new boat, or
