Increase of Lunacy i'm Paris.
Paris correspondent saws:

\ Paris correspondent says
| quoted statement to you the other
day on the alleged increase of madness
in and about Paris. | was talking on
this subject to-day with a French physi-
clan of high standing, and asked him
what he thought of the prevalent state
ments about the increase of lunacv. He
shook his head, and said that he had no
data. 1t is impossible to find accurate
statistics, and not for two years-such is
the French system-will the truth be
known. 1t is natural to suppose that
recent events should produce much
madness, and it is not at all unlikely
that a great number of idiots Will be
born this year in Paris. But this is only
conjecture. Il have not, however"
said the doctor, have not seriously
examined the question of lunacy as one
of the consequences of the late war. |
have been more intent in examining
the causes of our troubles, and say
with confidence that our recent warfare
has been different from all our other
wars in this, that it has been alcohol
lied.
"The history especially of the last
three months is highly alcoholized. The
presence of alcohol in French history is
new and most potent fact. 1t il very
terrible. For the last ten years the
taste for alcoholic drinks has been i'm
mensely on the increase-indeed. for
the last twenty years, it is a characters
tic of the Empire. | am sure Of it that
| alcohol has more to do with our recent
miseries than any other one cause that
IL \ Il,
doctor for facts, however, did not find
that he had many more at command
than were to be found to illustrate the
subject of lunacy. 1t is fact that the
love of alcohol has increased enormous
ly in France. 1t does not follow that ii
has seriously influenced recent history.
DR.. HALL, in his Journal Of HsQhh,
says the best medicines in the world,
more efficient in the cure of disease
than all the potencies eff the m0tsrid
meiicd, are warmth, rest, cleanliness,
and pure air. Some persons make 1t a
virtue to brave disease, " to keep up "
as long as they can move foot or
crook a finger. and it somtiines sue
ceeds: but oftener the powers of life
are thereby so completely exhausted
that the system has lost all ability to
recuperate. and slow and typhoid fevers
set in. and carry the patient to prema-
tire grave. Whenever walking or work
is an effort. a warm bed and a cool room
are the very first indispensable steps to
sure and speedy recovery. Instinct
leads all beasts and birds to quietude
and rest the very moment disease or
wounds assail the system

A COUPLE in Dubuque have a fine way
of getting along without work. The

gone to Wisconsin, and that she was
left to get along as best she might.
This. of course, excited the compassion
of all the benevolent people in town
and she has heen supported by the
different churches during the past win

visited the woman, and opened the door
without knocking, She was somewhat
surprised to see pair of boots disappear
under the bed, and still further aston
ished when she discovered that the
owner of the boots was the husband who
was supposed to be in Wisconsin, but
who in reality had lived comfortably on
the pious fraud they had been perpe.

That is a startling piece of news that
comes to us about the cholera being in
Poland. This news has been officially
announced by the Russian authorities.
Dlstantly removed as Poland is from this
there is yet something in the an
nouncement of the appearance of this
terrible scOurge in far off Poland which
calls up unpleasant memories. Pre-
cedents are worth nothing if it will not
soon be on its travels westward. If We
mistake not it was in 1917, Gays
the New York Herald, that the cholera
broke out fiercsly in the Indies, sud after
decimsting towns and carrying off large
numbers of the people of the East, it
slowly continued its msrch toward the
European frontier, and in 1929, or
Whereabouts, ii broke out in South
ern Russia, pretty much in the same man
ner in which it now appears in Poland.
In 1880 it ragged fiercely in the city of
Moscow, and in the following year nearly
the whole of Central Europe was under
It's evil influence. a year later, in 1882,
it made its appearance on this side of the
Atlantic. Quebec was tie first city in
which it appeared, then Montreal and af-
forwards New York, after which the dis
ease spread in various directions.

Rev. J. p, NEWMAN, the political par
son who strives to run the clergy and
laymen of the Methodist church in favor
of Harlan and Grant not relishiDg the
reference of the New York Sun to come
of his peccaiilloes in Louisiana, writes
that paper:
SIR: l beg 10 assure you that l have
never had the honor 20 be connected with
the Freedmen'S bureau, directly or indi-
rectly in louisiana or elsewhere, and
therefore what you say on the subject is
not true. Respectfully, J. P. NEWMAN.
WASHINGTON, July 7.
The Sun gets back after him in this
fashion
Verbally, Mr. Newman seems to tell
the truth; hut really he does not. 1t is q
fact that he was not gu officer of the
Freedmen's Bureau in Louisians; but be
had in his hands money contributed for
the freedmen, and money derived
from the treasury OF the Freed
mems Rureen. This money he en-
ployed in building the Ames Methodist
Church in New Orleans, and in IFS ex-
pendi;ure he was charged by all the press
of New Orleans with dishonesty, and Mr..
Newman has never dispFOved this charge.
Besides, he thought best TO leave New
Orleans, and he is now in Washington,
trying TO elect Mr.. Harlan TO the Senate,
on the ground that Harlan is a Meth
Odist.

OSE Consequence of the treaty of

'Gf there was one document that most
people believed to be of equal value with
q Confederate 'shinplasler, it is q Con-
federate cotton bond; but the bondholders
refuse to believe in the hopelessness
Of their case. Successive Governments
have been mamorialized by them with
the view Of securing from the Washing
ton Administration a calm cOnsidera-
tom of their claima, which rest, they
alege, on moral equity and international
law. The bondholdsrs believe that one
of the articles of the treaty, which pro-
vides for the reference to q mixed COM

John T. Bond, Grand Mastsr of the Or

deprecated the intended parade, and So
licited the aid of the authorities to pre-
vent it. There can be no doubt that it
was pushed on by Radical politicians, f,r
sinister purposes. Mr.. Bond gays in his

GOV. HOFFMAN AND THE NEW
YORK RIOT.

In regard TO Gov. Hoffman's move
ments a day OF two previous 10 the not
in New York, about which there has
been so much controversy, The Albany
Argus of July II says:
s'Gov. Hoffman passed through New
York on his way from Newport to Alba
nv, leaving the first named city at 10 A.
NJ. of Monday. The first official intimac
ton either that his presence was needed
or that the police had determined to stop
the Olange procession reached him on
Tuesday. He then took the first train to
New York. He had no right TO inter-
pose with his authority before then. He
acted with as much promptitude as Wig
or"
In corroboration of this statement, we
find that Mr.. John BOylan, of Newark,
writes to the Newark Advertiser that
Gov. Hoffman was ignorant of the pub
LEGATION of Kelso's "Order No. 81" Mr..
Boylan says he was in the Governors
room in the Capitol in Albany on Tues
day, the 18th inst. Mr.. Van Buren,, Gov.
Hoffman's Secretary, said that neither
himself nor Gov. Hoffman had time to
read the newspapers that day. They
were then ignorant of Kelso's order, and
when the Secretary wss Informed that
such an order bad been published, he de-
nounced it. Soon afterwsrd, Mr.. Boylan
says, the Governor entered the room, and
on being informed of the publication,
took the next train, at O'Clock, for New
York. He had arrived in Albany from
Newport early that morning.
The New York Herald of July Is
says: ''The feeling that is being aroused
here against the Governor for his alleged
responsibility for the riot and bloodshed
on Wednesday is as unjust as it is ungen-
erous. That he acted from conscientious
convictions of duty no one can doubt for
a moment. His career as Chief Magis
trate has all along been distinguished by
degree of independence and self-reli
snce rarely, We regret 10 say, to be seen
among our prominent officials. No one
can doubt Gov. Hoffmsn's purify of

THE st. Louis Times says: "Fhat is
a very sensible conclusion to Which Gov.

interpose Executive clemency in any case
where a person is convicted of using Or
