COMMUNIST MADNESS.

NJ. Francisque Sarcey reports in
the Gaulois conversation which he
has had with IAN ilustrious physician
who had left Paris for few hours,
and was about to return" and who
expressed the opinion that one of the
causes of the terrible scenes which
accompanied the final suppression of
the Communist outbreak twas con-
tageous mental alienation. The
minds Of the Parisians, he said, were
gradually unhinged by the privations
of the siege. The revolt of the 18th
of March gave the last blow to brains
which were already shaken ; and at
length the greater part of the popu-
lation went raving mad. "This ep-
Identical insanity is one of the most
surprising cases that Psychologists
have witnessed. You are as
tonished at seeing women, young
girls and children throw petroleum
and lighted matches into private
houses. This fanaticism is attribu-
ted to their having been paid ten
francs day for their horrible work.
Can anything be more improbable
than that they should expose them
selves, out of mere thoughtlessness,
to the almost certain prospect of
being shot down by our troops for
such a miserable sum? They are
simply under the epidemical infu-
ence of the mania of incendiarism.
They acted under hal
lucination which is as incontestibIe
as it is difficult to understand and
explain. This is not the first time
that a whole population, attacked by
a sort of vertigo, ran about with torch
es and set fire to everything in their
way. The records of the middle
ages are full of similar examples. =
Women are under such cir
cumstauces fercer and more reckless
than men. This is because their
nervous system is more developed,
their brains are weaker, their sensi-
bilities more acute than those of the
stronger sex and they are conse-
quently far more dangerous, and do
much more harm. None of
them knew exactly what they were
fighting for; they were possessed by
one of the various forms of the
religious mania-that which impell-
ed the Janscnists to torture them
selves, with strange delight in pain
of the acutest kind. The
men who throw themselves upon
the bayonets of the soldiers in a par
oXysm Of passion were seen ten min
utes after utterly PROSTATE and beg
ging for mercy. They were no more
towards in the last state than they
were heroes in the first; they were
simply madmen. Look
at the citizens who did not take part
in the instruction they are immov-
able and stupid, like men struck with
paralysis. Yet they have on many
occasions given proofs ofuncommon
vigor and courage; but the air of
Paris is at this moment poisoned by
deleterious misasmata which make
some people furious madmen and
others helpless idiots. | have seen
the strongest intellect stagger under
this pernicious influence, and | have
myself frequently felt as if my reason
were going"

ICAN BUY IT CHEAPER IN AT
LANTA.

This is a remark often made in
our town by thoughtless people,
Suppose you can, is it not manifest
that ifyour trade is worth anything
it helps ether communities and not
your own Is il not certain that
your money goes to enrich other
towns and not into the hands Of those
who may return it to you? A mer-
chant said to us the other day, "Such
and such Printing is done in New
York at such and such prices
What do you charge 7" We charg-
ed but little more but said "send
your money to New York and that
to You is the last of it. Pay it to US
and it will not only prove general
benefit but will come back to you"
SO with all trade. For some things
we are obliged to send to Atlanta.
But if you need any such things and
there is no competition here you will
pay all that can be exacted of you.
And it is the policy of Atlanta not
to have any competition here in any
thing and if that policy is successful
this whole country will be subjected
TO any extortion possible of practice
Ifyou hope for prosperity around
you; fyou would avoid being hew-
ers of wood and drawers of water for
others, build up your own trades
people--your own artizans and me-
chanics and general home wealth in
which all will have an Interest,"
Do this even il in some cases it costs
more, recollecting that prices will
soon regulate themselves and that
in this way alone can you hope to
avoid ruinous exactions from abroad
when there is no home trade TO pro
tect you.

ment. But he will chiefly be re-
membered in this and future times
for his unfinching advocacy and
exhibition of the American freeman's
rights to freely think and freely
speak. For this he suffered as few
of the thousands of victims suffered
whom the Lincolns, the Stantons,
and the Burnsides of our disordered
times tore from their homes without
judicial warrant, immured in dun
geons, imprisoned in forts, torment
ed with cruel and unusual punish
ments, cut off from their friends
and the world exiled across the ber-
der or over the seas, or liberated
without removing the stigma of
crimes which if ever alleged were
never proved, and after giving by
law the form of justice to complete
denial of future redress. He bore
his sufferings manfully, even when
they were embittered by the refusal
of his fellow citizens of Ohio to vim
dictate his essential patriotism and
their fundamental law; and, per-
chance, when the passions Of our
civil war have passed from the
hearts of living men into the pages
of history, those who shall then be
charged with the care of elderly
guarded by law" may hold his name
in higher honor than even they
whose tears will wet the sod above
his grave.

From the New York World.
THE DEATH OF MR.. vALLANDIG
HAM

The death of Mr.. Vallandigham
will be sincerely regretted by his
fellow Democrats in all of the coun-
try, and by none more sincerely than
those who have not shared the eX-
treme opinions which, until the late
Convention, had in him a foremost
representative. He was a politician
in whom an unbounded ambition per-
haps outran the measure of his facul-
ties but he was a politician of dis
tinct principles and incorruptible in
tegrity. His political course was
guided by his intellectual judgments,
and he took the obloquy which they
brought upon him during the trying
DAYS of our civil war without blench
ing, without abating a single jot their
steadfast utterance. Imprisonment
and exile were the punishments
laid upon him for opinions sake
But these became a crown of politi-
cal marty rdom upon his head and a
lasting stigma upon the memory of
Mr.. Lincoln, who had forgotten, and
upon the names Of Stanton and
Burnside, who had never learned,
the first lessons of civil liberty.
This, indeed, was Mr.. Vallandig-
hams chief distinction in the politics
of his time. Before the war he had
never gone beyond scores of his CO.
temporaries in the application to af-
fairs, o, the advocacy Of the princi-
pies Of II pure Democracy. And a
certain acerbity of temper might
Aave hindered his further promotion
despite his unquestioned capacity of
work and the intensity of his mental
energies. At the outbreak of the
war he Joined hands with those who
sought to lead the Democratic par
ty into paths fatal alike to it and to
| the country and during the war,
by his ostentatious and sincere bold
ness, he contributed in no slight de-
gree to paralyze the popular effect
of the rejection of his opinions and
his leadership by the vast majority
of his party. Since the war he has
not allied hisname with any public
measure of sound or unsound politics,
until, within fhe month which also
sees his sad and untimely death, he
came forward and proclaimed, with
the manly frankness and the unhesi-
tating boldness which marked all his
political utterances, his conviction
that the decision of his party, ma
tured at the East and at the
/ West and fast maturing at the South,
concerning the issues of its future
contests, had now by him and all who
went with him flor none had gone
beyond him) to be acknowledged
and obeyed.
But Mr.. Vallandigham will live in
the history of his country despite
this isolation from the progress of his
party, despite the small share he has
enjoyed of its public honors, and de-
spite that he is cut off in the very
maturity of his faculties when a new
and brilliant career seemed opening
before him wherein all his compa-
triOts might have given him hear
ty godspeed. He will long be re-
membered for the courage and the
constancy with which in his own
party he maintained unpopular opin-
ions, which, if fatal to its success,
were fatal also to his own advance

Muhing the Throat.

What is the best mode of pro-
tecting the throat from colds
where a person is very suscep-
tible to them The common
way of protecting the throat Is
to bundle and wrap it up close,
ly, thus overheating and rem
dering it tender and sensitive,
end more liable to colds and
inflammation than before. This
practice is all wrong, and re-
suits in much evil. Especially
is the case with children, and
when, in addition to the mnf-
fling of the throat, the extremi-
ties are insufficiently clad, as is
often the case, the best possi-
ble conditions are presented
for the production of sore
throats, coughs, Group and all
sorts of throat and lung affec-
tions. tits very wrong to ex.
clude cold air from the neck,
and if it is overheated a portion
of the time, when it is exposed
some form of disagreement of
the throat will be apt to occur.
The rule in regard to clothing
the neck should be to keep it
as cool as comfort will allow.
In doing so you will suffer
much less from throat ailments
than if you are always fearful
of having a little cold air como
in contact with the neck, ANY;
one who has been accustomed
to have his throat muf1ed
should be careful to leave off
gradually, and not all at once.

The Ague Poison.

NJ. p. Bolestra has communi-
Gated to the French Academy
some observations on ague poi
son. He says that in examin-
ing marsh water he always
finds, in proportion to its de-
gree of qualification, a granu-
lar microphyte, somewhat re-
sembIing in form the Cactus
Perurianus. 1t is always ac-
companied by a considerable
quantity of small spores one
thousandth of a mililmetre in
diameter, greenish yellow and
transparent, and alstf by spo-
rangia or veSicles spores from
two-hundredths to three-hun-
dredths of a milimetre in di-
ameter, and of very character
istic form. The plant grows
on the surface of the water /;
when young, it is rainbow-like
in tints, and looks like spots of
oil. At the low temperature of
cellars and in water containing
no vegetation, it develops
slowly, but in contact with air
and exposed to the solar rays
in the presence of decomposing
vegetation, itgrows fast, disen-
gaging small gas bubbles. A
few drops of arsenious acid,
sulphite of soda, or still better,
neutral sulphate of quinine,
stops its vegetation at the sur
face of the water, the sphoran-
gia alter so that they would
not be recognized. These
changes may be seen under the
4
microscope. III. Bolestra states
that these spots can be found
in marsh air. He caught ague
twice during his researches
once after having been exposed
to air from water in fermenta-
tion covered with fresh ale in
full vegetation, mixed with an
extraordinary quantity oi
: spores. He thinks these spores
constitute the ague poison.
