This, of course, is only a subtertilge.

TESTS OF INSANITY.

At meeting of the Medico-Legal Society
of the city Of New York, held recently, pa
per was read by r. S. Guernsey, entitled
"Juries and Physicians on Questions of In
sanity" which has some general interest
Tie said:
The Law is that while great respect should
be paid to experts, they are entitled to no
more weight than any other body of men when
speaking upon subjects which lie within the
range of common observation and expert
snce." According to this rule, it may be
asked: "Should the question of sanity or in
sanity be passed upon exclusively by ply
sicians?' This can be best answered by in
quiring into the standard by which the sub
ject is to be measured. This standard must
De the average man, and hence what we call
common sense-that is, due regard for the
usual institutions and habits Of mankind. 1t
is undisputed that insanity is regarded as
emanating from the brain, and may be caused
by disease of that organ. 1t is oftentimes
difficult to decide in any given case whether
any peculiarly is the result of very active
and esided Development of the brain or
of actual disease. The general principles on
which all decisions of this question must be
based, are that when any feeling, passion,
emotion, or even special aptitude becomes
absolutely ungovernable, SO as to make its
subject regardless of his own interests or of
the wcll-being Of his friends: when, as it
were tit absorbs the whole being so as to blunt
the reason and conscience and incites to Il
manner OF life and to special deeds that are
| repugnant to the average institutions of man.
kind, then we have reason to suspect the ex-
istence of insanity. Although the average
sentiment and experience of mankind may be
an indefinite standard by which to test the
sanity of an individual, it Is the same by
which physicians are to judge of it by com.
pairing the symptoms of disease with those of
health
Mr.. Guernsey continued at some length, as
serting the right of other persons than physi
clans to pass upon the question of insanity,
and citing legal authorities to sustain his ar
gument. He thought that physicians were
too prone to excuse willful acts upon the
ground of disease, and that juries were already
sufficiently influenced by physicians, as they
usually placed great confidence in them. He
thought the law as it now stands was proper
and just, and much better than if the question
were left to physicians only; but if any
change were made, the question should be
taken from an irresponsible jury, and referred
to responsible judiciary, subject to the pres
ent rules of evidence.

ALE AND BEER CASE.

In liquor case tried before the Lowell
Superior Court on Thursday, the defendant,
Charles c. Copeland, offered to show that the
sale of ale and beer in Lowell was authorized
by a vote Of the city, to which the District
Attorney agreed. but His Honor Judge Lord
stated that he should rule the provision of tbs
law authorizing cities and towns to approve
the sale of ale and beer in their limits is un
constitutional and void, and that such vote
would be no defence to COMPLAINT for such a
sale. He remarked that no city or town could
lawfully be erected into a Legislature with
power to change the general law of the State.
The def. was convicted and took exceptions,
and the question goes to the Supreme Court.
The came ruling was made in another case.

CIVIL SERTICE.

President Grant is sincerely DESTROYS o
giving the measures for the reform of thu
civil service fair trial. They have hat
his recommendation officially and will
have his support in all practical ways.
Before he was nominated for second
term he had endorsed the reform and given
other evidence that he favored il. Never
theless he was denounced all through the
campaign as an enemy to it,
A case has arisen in Philadelphia which
throws some light upon his intentions.
The former postmaster of that city, Mr..
Bingham. was elected to another Office in
the recent election, and rendered his res.
ignation as postmaster on the 18th in or.
der to accept the new Office. Two prom.
inent candidates appeared for he place
made vacant; one, Mr.. Truman, a mer.
chant of the city, who was supported by
Senator Cameron, General Hartranft. and
many other leading politicians; the other,
Mr.. Fairman, the present cashier and as
sistant chief clerk of the Philadelphia post
office, who was urged by such men as
Borie, Stuart and Childs, under the rules
adopted for the regulation OF appointments
in the civil service. III order to press the
claim of Mr.. Truman. Senator Cameron
and large delegation of his friends made
trip to Washington last week, and had
IN interview with the President The re-
suit OF the matter was that the President
informed them he felt under obligation to
allow the appointment to take its course
under the civil service rules. which will
undoubtedly lay Mr. Cameron's candidate
upon the shelf and bring into the Office
Mr.. Fairman,
As test of the Presidents sincerity in
regard to reforming the civil service this
was about the sharpest one that could be
put upon him. To no State in the Union
is the President more indebted for his tri-
umphant reelection than Pennsylvania,
and Cameron and Hartranit and others
who appeared for Truman were the lead
ers on the administration side. But
against their appeal the President stands
firm. or course he could not help feeling
how much he was indebted to them for his
election, but his word had passed to the
country that he would observe and sustain
the civil service regulations, and he KEEP,
it in spite of the pressure and inducements
to do otherwise.

less than commend the President fo
his course. 1t is pledged by the platform
adopted by the national convention a

The condition of the atmosphere as re-
CARDS combustion is receiving the notice
of many writers. 1t is urged by some
that the air is so favorable for combustion
at some times, that no fire extinguishers
are sufficient to check it when q fire is
once started, and such was the case in the
Chicago and Boston fires. Everybody
who has had the care of stove or fur
mace knows that there are times when it
is about impossible to keep the fire alive,
and others. in which the conditions to all
appearances are precisely the same, when
the briskest kind of fire can be had with
ont difficulty. The most of us attribute
the difference in the two cases to the diff
erence in draft, but the theory which the
writers above mentioned hold is that
it is occasioned by a fundamental va
ration in the atmosphere in regard to
its susceptibility or power of combustion
