Paralysis a Cause of Theft.

Some celebrated European physicians, applying the doctrine of the conservation and correlation of forces to moral mania, have recently contributed some impor- tant articles to medical science. showing that certain physical diseases are the ac- tual causes of klepto-mania.
 >Prichard cites the case of the wife of a man of fortune, who was in the habit of stealing on all occasions whenever she visited shops. In this case, paralysis (partiaD and softening of the brain ex- isted. The husband was so sverwhelm- ed with grief and shame that he left the fascinations of the city, and .banished himself to the country, where there were no shops but the mania remained.
 It is curious fact that in one stage oi paralysis delusion always exists in the mind of the sufferer that what he steals in his property, or. has been stolen from him, and that he merely reclains his own. Sometimes he imagines that God orders him to steal
 Paralysis is sure to cause stealing in some shape or other and stealing, in. deed, may be sometimes regarded as s symptom of the disease. |E~ f4E
 This is an important subject, and one of unusual interest, worthy of the care, full investigation of the medical scientist

THE FRENCH GOVERNMENTAL move ment has been initiated for the submis- sion to the people of the question of the future form of government of France, to be decided by means of plebiscitum. The plan, as far as perfected, proposes that the people shall decide whether the country shall remain a republic, as at present constituted whether it shall become kingdom, with some member of the Bourbon family upon the throne j; or an empire under Napoleon. The movement finds many supporters, and strong effort will be made when the Ma tional Assembly convenes to secure the adoption by that body of measure which will carry the scheme into effect.

MANsARD RooFs.-It is stated of the Chicago confagration that the heavy Mansard roofs invited fire and added material to it. This, we hope, will check the passion for Mansards which has con- trolled the architectural mind of this country for several years, and which has resulted in the most astounding medley of building abominations conceivable. In a certain class of very large edifces, with sufficient stretch to warrant them, these roofs, if proof against fire, are slightly but when it come to Man sard for everything from church to a woodshed, the general effect is rather tedious.

THE HORIZONS. eight or ten years ago,a sailor, of the name of Gibson, who had had some rough but romantic experience in the island of Java, went out to the Sandwich Islands as an am- bassador, from Brigham Young, to nego- tiate for the purchase of one or two of those islands. The idea with Gibson was that group of tropical or semi tropical islands in the Pacific Ocean was the manifest destiny of the Mormons, because it was only in some such desti- nation that they could live, prosper and be recognized by the civilized world as an Independent State with their poly gamy, to the fullest enjoyment thereof. If Brigham Young were in his prime we might look for some such exodus as this from Utah; but now it would be toe much for him. His community is toe cumbersome to be shipped off, still, something must be done.

THE CANADIAN MILITIA. asserted by cotemporary, the chief object in devising a militia system is to discover method whereby the whole able bodied male population may be trained to the use of arms without any heightened de- tention of the men from their industrial pursuits. The people of Canada seem to have come nearer to the attainment of that end than any other. The real militia of the Dominion is organized un- der law which orders the enrolment, discipline and payment of forty thous- and men. The law requires of these men but sixteen days drill in the year, but the spirit of competition among the men leads them to drill at least once a week, while they spend the whole of the time for which they are paid under the canvass The oficering of this force is provided for by military schools. One of the best features of this system is the constant target practice to which the men are subjected. The expense of maintaining this force amounts to little less than twenty-eight dollars per man. The majority of the men drop out of the ranks when their terms of service have expired, leaving their places to be occu- pied by others, so that at least five thous- and men are added to the drilled force every year.

Panic in a School Building.

One of Miss Jen- nie Howe's scholars, in the third story, named Minnie Barton, was taken sud denly with spasm The teacher un- derstood the nature of the attack, and called to some of the girls for water. The girls, too, commenced calling for water, as several of them ran hastily toward the bucket. Others in the room, not understanding the cause of the con- fusion, rushed into the hall and called "water," and C fire." The cry of |" fire |" was instantly caught up by the pupils in the adjoining rooms, and they rushed, panic-stricken from their seats, and pell mell down the stairs, screaming as they went. Before they had reached the landing of the second floor, the scholars there had caught the alarm, and they too went rushing headlong for the stair case, joining the affrighted crowd from the third floor, all screaming at once, the cry of s'fire" rising above the din from about 300 throats, as they all went tumbling down the steps together The scholars on the ground floor, when they heard the tumult on the stairs, and the screaming of their schoelmates, terrified at the thought that the house was falling
 in upon them, ran for their lives out in to the street, closely followed by the
