INsANIrYIN 9R.AT BeITAIN.

The returns of the lunatics in Finland
and Wales for the year 1871 has Just been
published. Il is the twenty-sixth report of
the commissioners on lunacy, and is said 70
be full Of interesting facts and figures,
though We have seen but an abstract q il.
We do not discover that any new principles
have been Learned by the study of IL 8
lUnacy returns, but s well-known fact is
confirmed by them-namely, that insanity
is increasing at much greater rate than
population. In 1850, when tables were first
introduced into the commissioners report,
there were but 81, 1862 persons classed as
insane in England and Wales. There we're,
onthe LIST of January, 1872, no less than
$3.50, an increase OF more than tifty-fve
per cent in fourteen years. The progressive
percentage of insane persons is sufficiently
alarming. In 1859, there were hut 1sJ
lunaucs to every 100000 persona. The "a
ito has increased every year since that
tine until there are now two hundred
and forty nine persons of unsound mind to
every hundred tnousand-an average in
crease of forty-6ve to every million every
year. The increase has been very nearly
constant until the last Two years, when the
increase was at the rate Of only sixty to q
million from 1870 to 1872. In view of the
great attention paid to the treatment of the
insane and the success that has attended it,
these statistics are alarming enough, for
while a larger percentage Of cures may be
wrought the number Of cases is still on the
increase. it is true that at the present rate
1t would be something over hundred and
fifty years before the luuatics reached one
per cent. of the population, but it is tbe
tendency Of the mental activity of our aged
to drive people TO madness e. 81 ever in
creasing ratio, the question, what Is to be
done to coGnteract the tendency, is one for
the serious consideration Of the students of
social science.

Tho pIem pitts school Fund.

The Memphis Board of Education while
recently excited and engaged in an undig
tied abuse OF Com modore Maury and tie
University series Of Southern school books,
became unmindful Ofthe public school fund
and have allowed part of it to be lost, At a
meeting of the board Monday night, one of
the members of the finance committee had
this to say:
AS one of the members of the Finance
Committee be wished to state that thirty
thousand dollars had been deposited with
Mr.. s. II. Tobey, President Of the City
Band, as collateral for fifteen
thousand dollars. Coupons to
the amount of nine thousand
dollars had been Illegally used, and they
could not tell what had become of the coG-
pOns; therefore, he had laid himself liable
to criminal prosecution. He thought it
his duty to bring this matter before the
Board for the benefit of the citizens and
the members of the Board. He stated that
as soon as he learned that the City Bank
had been closed, he notified the Secretary
Of the fact, and to go and order Mr.. Tobey
to furnish the necessary coupons, or he
would be arrested. The Secretary return
ed and told him (Mr GAVIN that Mr.. To-
hey had promised to furnish the coupons
or something else that would secure the
Board from loss. Since that time nothing
had been done, and he would therefore
move that the Board take legal steps to Sc
cure themselves against loss.

a NAhROM ESCAPE.

a gentleman while out riding the other
day came TO steep rayine into which il
was impossible to descend without dismOun-
ting. While rapidly going down leading
his horse he was startled by perceiVing a
huge rattle-snake in his immediate path.
Finding il impossible to stop in time to
avoid the reptile, the only chance of escape
seemed to be in le8ping over his snakesnip.
This the gentleman essayed to do but too
late to avoid the blow of the creature
which struck at him and succeeded in fixing
his fangs In the leather of the upper part
of his shoe. The gentleman succeeded in
dispatching him as hs was unable to draw
out his fangs from the leather.
The rattlesnake was one of the longest
of the species having nineteen rattles on
his tail. II the gentleman had not leSped
as high or in the manner in which he did,
or If the snake had struck an eight OF an
inch higher, iE would be impossible to say
what the result may have been. perhaps,
and not impFobably, death. @Discretinn

The Jubilee

About 7 O'Clock last evening a heavy
shower sprsng up, lasting for nearly half
an hour, and after Il was over the lurid
flashes of lightning that still played from
out the southern clouds foreboded more
rain, which debarred most people from a =
tending the children's Jubilee that was to
be held in the Exposition building again
last evening. Only about third of the
singers were present, and as the lightning
fOIked into the numerous windows of the
structure, the young ladies, before the pro-
gramme commenced, huddled timidly to-
gether, while the older of the young gen.
tleInen tried to make themselves more than
usually agreeable to them. The attendance
was very slim, but the worst of it was, that
they were doomed to disappointment, for
only two Of the ChOruses on the programme
were sung, "Look on the Bright Side," and
"Crown Him." The selection, however,
was even more attractive than that of the
previous night The tickets were gwen
back to those who wished them, and the
concert adjourned, The programme that
was TO have been carried out will be exc
cuted this evening. Tomorrow night
another concert will be given,

and very exciting race. Pour heats we're

these points are correct, the learned Pro-
fsssor drives her buggy rapidly to meet her

shown in the police reports, by several
