The Insanity Dodge.

The most sensible remarks yet ut
tered by the courts concerning the
plea of insanity, so freely and loosely
advanced in murder trials now -a-days,
are these, made by Judge Walton OF
the Main Sxpreme Court at the recent
trial of the Hoswell case at Augusta !:
The medical profession have in their
vocabulary several species of insanity
which are so like dcpravity that there
are no reliable testimony by which
the one can be distinguished from the
other. They have homicidal mania,
used to screen neutrality-suspicious.,
used to screen pilferels such as have
an uncomfortable impulse to appro
pirate to themselves the property OF
Others. = =. But of all modern inventions
that which is best calculated to shel,
ter all classes of criminals, is the man
ia transitoria, or, as it is commonly
called, instantaneous insanity. 1t re-
quires no previous preparation. A
man can arm himself, seek his enemy,
level his loaded pistol at him, and at
the moment of pulling the trigger be
seized with sudden fit Of insanity,
become for q moment utterly ire
sponsible for his act, and during that
moment of insanity shoot his enemy
through the heart, and become in
stantly sane again. If called on to an
swer as q criminal, he pleads his in
sanity, and if they attempt to put him
into the insane asylum, he tells you
that this kind Of insanity, like the
measles and smallpox, never attacks
a man but once, and there will be no
danger oe his killing another man in
such C state Of unconsciousness. He
thus escapes both the penitentiary and
the insane asylum.
To allow all these species of insani-
ty to constitute a valid excuse for
crime would paralyze the arm ofjus-
stice. The law against crime would
still exist. but there would be no per-
son against whom it could be enforc-
ed. Under such q state of things
those now known as criminals would
be regarded as lunatics. The dis
tinction between insanity and crime
would be obliterated, for between
these species of insanity and crime
there are no reliable tests. The law
does not take notice of such insanity
There must be a disease of the mind,
defect Of reason resulting from a dis.
eased mind, so that the person does
not know the nature and quality OF
his act, or if he does, does not know it
is wrong. Partial insanity, passion, re-
sentiment, anger, are not insanity
within the meaning Of the law. 1t
may be the insanity of the medical
profession but it is not the insanity as
will excuse men for their criminal

Etiquette-COurtship.

for young ladies in one of our late cX'
changes:
Never trihe with the affections OF a
man who loves you; nor admit Of
marked attentions from one whose
affections you cannot return. Some
young ladies pride themselves upon the
conquests which they make, and would
not scruple to sacrifice the happiness
of an estimable person to their repre-
hensible vanity. Let this be far from
you. If you see clearly that you have
become an object of especial regard to
a gentleman, and do not wish TO en-
courage his addresses, treat him hon
orahly and humanity, as you hope to
be used with generosity by the person
who may engage your own heart, Do
not let him luger in suspense, but take
the earliest opportunity of carefully
making known your feelings on the
subject. This may be done in vari
ETY. Of ways. A refined ease Of man
ner will satisfy him, if he has any dis.
cernment, that his addresses will not
be acceptable Should your natural
disposition render this difficult, show
that you wish to avoid his company,
and he will presently withdraw; but if
even this is dilllcult-and who can lay
down rules for another ?-allow an op
portunity for explanation to occur,
You can then give him polite and de.
cisive answer; and be assured that, in
whatever manner you convey your SEN
timents to him, il he be q man Of del
icacy and right feeling, he will trouble
you 10 further. Let it never be said
of you that you permit the attentions
of an honorable man wien you have
no heart to give him, or that you have
trihed with the affections of one whom
you perhaps esteem, although you re
solve never to marry him. 1t MAY be
that his preference gratities, and his
conversation interests you; that you
are tlattered by the attentions Of man
whom some Of your companions ad-
mire; and that, in truth, You hardly
know your own mind on the subject.
This will not excuse you,
Every young woman ought to know
the state of her own hcait; and yet
the happiness and future prospects OF
many an excellent man, have been sac
rifced by such unprncipled conduct
Remember that if a gentleman makes
you an offer, you have no right to
speak Of it. If you possess either gen
erosity or gratitude for offered afiec
ton, you will rot betray a secret which
does not belong to you. 1t is sulIi-
ciently painful to be refused, without
incurring the additional modification
of being pointed out as rejected lover.
If, on the contrary, you encourage
the addresses Of deserving man, be.
have honorably and sensibly. Do not
lead him about as if in triumph, nor
take advantage Of the ascendancy you
have gained by playing with his feel
ings. Do not seek for occasions to
tease him that you may try hisstemper
neither affect indifference, nor provoke
lovers quarrels for the foolish pleasure
of reconciliation. On your conduct
during courship will very much depend
the estimation in which you will be
held by your husband in after life.

Little by little the printer pays out

Little by little the printer pays out
his money. A little for press,
a little for type, little for
paper, Il little tor rollers, little for
ink, little for help, a little for rent, a
little for this and a little for that, but
continually little never stoppng--a
constant drain. Little by little the
printers bills accumulate. A owes a
little for subscription; B owes little
for advertising; c owes little for job
work; and SO on through the alphabet.
A neglects his bill; b does not settle
his; C thinks his but trile, and not
needed, and so on down the list. Lit
tie by little the money goes out, and
not even little comes IN, until finally
the printers resources are exhausted.

PASSAGE or MusKET BA1Is THROUGH THE HU-
MAN BoDY.-A number of curious cases of the
progress of musket balls from the place where
they first lodged, have been observed by military
surgeons. We have heard of a very remarkable
case, where the musket ball struck the forehead
above the nose, and having divided into halves,
one-half went round beneath the skin on the
right side and the other on the left, advancing in
/ contact with the skull. We do not ask our read
ers to believe the poetical edition of this fact,
that the two half bullets met again behind, after
having performed the circuit of the head in OPP
posite directions, and advancing with slightly
diminished force united and killed an unfortunate
man who stood in their way but the fact Of the
splitting of the bullet, and the advance of each
half in opposite directions. is unquestionable
The singular progress Of musket bullet from
the forehead to the throat has been recorded of
DIR. Fielding At the first battle Of Newbury, in
the time Of the eival war medical gentleman
was shot near the right eye. The skull was frac-
tured at that place but though the surgeon could
see the pulsation of the brain beneath the wound,
yet the bullet had turned on one side and could
not be discovered. Various bones were discharg-
ed from the wound the mouth and the nostrils.
AT the time Of the second battle of Newbury
the wound healed and could MOI be kept open !;
but about twelve years afterward, when the doc
tor was riding in cold, dark night, he felt
pain about the ALMONDS OF the ear" which coca
stoned partial deafness. Having stopped bis
ear with wool, he was surprised one day in
March, 1870, by a sudden puff or crack in his ear
when all that side of his cheek hung loose as II
it had been paraiytie, and hard knot was felt I'M
der the ear. Various tumOrs now appeared upon
the throat, and in August, 1872, the bullet was

MR. w. PATTERSON, of Dundee Scotland, after
experimenting with the potato for many years, and
in many ways is Of the opinion that any variety of
potato is gradually weakened by repeated planting
and that each would ultimately die ont; new kinds
produced from the seed the only hope of presera
ton OF full health and vigor This is not a new
opinion and it certainly is reasonable not only in
view of observed facts, but because the theory is
based on good, sound reasoning. An important
suggestion made by Mr.. Patterson is, that this work
of producing varieties from the seed should go
on steadily, not waiting until varieties fail and then
attempt the production Of vigorous new varieties
from seed produced by the failing variety.
