The Fancies of the Insane.

A large number of the inmates of the
State Insane Asylum fancy themselves to
be some one else. There are any number
of kings, queens and emperors, General
Grant, and other notabilities. Many q
poor creature is happy in his Or her delu-
sion, and @ravely insists on its truth. The
delusion OF patients that they are God or
the Saviour is very common. Not long
ago DE. Gray had all the three persons Of
the Trinity under his care, and then came
another god. However, as the new conner
was Il very little man, and the other con-
testant for divine supremacy a very big
man. the little one quickly discovered that
he was not God, but the Acknowledgement

A Washington special says, that when

Immediately proceeded to be come intimate
with the Hon. Henry Wilson. then chair
man OF the Senate Military Committee.
This she successfully accomplished, and
the Hon. Henry was thoroughly manip-
ulated that every plan and every project

was also known by her The design OF
the advance oi the troops 10 the battle OF
Bull Run was got by her from him before
the fact, and forwarded to the rebel head
quarters through the agency of Tom
Iluellc, the brother of Mrs. A. III. Mason,
the lady who was II witness in the French
arms investigation. As fast as the Vigi-
lance Of the Government could detect the
leak, and arrest lis secondary agents,
others would take their places. After Mrs.

time | may say that | am surprised that we get
such good kilograms as we do, considering the
small encouragement which the New York Asso-
ciated Press who supply us with telegraphic news
receive. But what political news we get by tele-
grams now comes incomplete, and itfully. Of
commercial news, which is by far the most impor-
tant point for consideration, we can hardly be said
to receive any at all. Commercial news to be ser
%yiceable, should come with the regularity of clock
work; it should be full and accurate in every par
ticular, and such that it can be relied npon by
commercial men. I don't think that at present we
receive commercial kilograms of this sort. My
own opinion is that it is desirable, if it could be
managed, that the Government should pay for re-
gular and complete telegraphic COMMUNICATION,
such as would be of service to every body, and
especially to the commercial public. In this way
we should be paying out of the General Revenue,
that is to say every body would be paying, for
what every body would get the benefit of. If the
thing could be done cheaply enough, | believe it
would be a very advisable measure
The Colonial Secretary" After what has
fallen from the President, | may remark to the
Board that | think there is q prospect now of our
getting the description of Geographic news refer
red to. In the different agreements between the
other islands, who pay subsidies to the West India
and Panama Telegraph Company, there is insert
ed q condition to the effect that the Company pub
fish daily certain items of news. For this, and
for the advantage Of other telegraphjc communl-
cation, the subsidy is given. I have lately been
in communication with the Manager of the Tele-
graph Company, who thinks that it may be posi-
bic to give Jamaica the advantage of this news
communication also. Up to this time the other ie-
lands have not received this advantage g, and there
fore the subsidies have not yet been paid but
the arrangements are near completion by which
they are to get the news, and l am glad to state
that Jamaica will not be left out. Of course the
Colony will have to pay something, [ cannot ex-
aotly say how much, as the Manager was not able
to tell me, but he stated that the sum would bo
moderate. | quito agree with the President that
something of this kind should be obtained, be-
cause it would be useful to every body"
The question was put and agreed to, and the
Report adopted accordingly"

these cities. Plymouth Church and its crowd, recall somehow gathering at Brigham's tabernacle in Salt Lake. Either place Is noted in a religious way. Beecher Is a tine-looking culti- vated genius of 8 man; Brigham, a rough and ruling intellect, and ad- mired of the ladies. The tabernacle is characteristic of the Mormon idea; Plymouth Church is plain outside, but striking in it's tasteful simplicity within. But I could no more think of comparing the broadly humane teachings of Beecher and his inviting place of worship, to Brigham Young and his place, than I could think of placing the all saving Redeemer alongside of the walled-in Heather Chinee. Beecher is perfectly at home with himself and audience; half the time walks about with hands behind his back, and conversing rather than declaiming; voice clear as bell, and only occasionally loud climax of ut terance accompanied with suitable gesture. His interpretation of the text has a flavor decidedly fresh, and his illustrations quaint and appro- priate. No person of memory or thought can hear him without remem- bering something he said the rest of the week. There are few ministers of which this can be said and hence the churches are inclined to go begging, and the people prefer the broad way to death. Like in politics, the people are ahead of the leaders.
 Of the other amusements here abouts, there is little to be said. Ed win and Junius Brutus Booth are try ing hard to represent Shakespeare so that 1t may seem more interesting to one than when quietly reading 1t alone. It IS possible they may, with the aids of their model of theater succeed with an admiring few, or per- haps the more curious of the crowd. It Is evident, however, through the wear and tear of our wretched every day American life, that the masses want to be merely amused and ren- dered self-forgetful, no matter how. And New York managers study the public wants to the last degree. It Is really dear old pandemonium of & city, this, and The Herald is its prophet. I was shown on the books of the concern, that the edition of last Sunday was one hundred and fourteen thousand That settles the question of largest daily circulation in the Union. It talks for Grant now. Next week it may be against him.

LETTER FROM NEW YORK.

A Tale of Two Cities and a Small
 State--How New Jersey Got Out

 NEW YORK, February 25.-So far as number of people and houses count, there would seem little left to consider outside of old Philadelphia; but the transfer in three hours from Chestnut street to Broadway, presents such a startling contrast between big things 80 varied in general outlines and inner character-that the story of Rip Van Wrinkle and his twenty years nap, scarcely affords a comparison.
 In the meantime, passing para graph about New Jersey-a State shaped not unlike California; also, noted for fruit-growing, and having produced the man who discovered gold out there and who IS now 8 returned prodigal, as it were, at Lambertsville James W. Marshall, you know; this State so little and level and in many ways contemptible, as contras- ted with it's far-off opposite on the map. To continue, Oliver Wendell Holmes calls this the Dumb bell State, because it is cut out as if to be carried off in one hand; very stupid, except in small things, as going to law for three cents, and depending upon New York and Pennsylvania to keep it above water, for the ocean threat ems it from first to last. You have
