own admissien-he was VIGOROUSLY OF
unsound mind, Tuesday, and courts are
not in the habit of allowing sutton to
take advantage of his own wrong.
With the question of Trains sanity or
insanity we have nothing to do. Whether
he is actually insane, or is only shrewd
rattle-pated Spectator determined to
make money, we care not. He may be
insane on some subjects and perfectly
sane on others for all we know or care.
He has, however, in his overweening
vanity, aided by the trickery and petit
Jogging of Howe - which, in some
quarters, passes for learning, research
and accmen-mconscio struck
Staggering blow at the sham defense of
pretended insanity. The course OF the
district attorney, in allowing the proof
of insanity to be made without attempt
ing to contTovert it, and the prompt ac-
ton Of Judge Davis, in ordering his con-
fnement in a Lunatic Asylum, are
steps in the right direction. Ii there had
been similar prosecuting officers and
Judges, il years past, the record OF crime
would not have been, or continue to be,
so appalling, and the number of GRIMM
ais turned loose, on this sham plea, to
commit other depredations on their fell
lows would be insignifcantly small.
Here is reform that is not pretense, but
action under and in pursuance of the
constitutional laws. This example will
have great weight with criminal law
yers, and, if followed up by few more
cases resulting in the same way, will
render the defense of insanity as useless
as neighboring editor has found intoxi-
| cation to be.

Reader, put yourself in the place of a
dyspeptic or bilious patient under the old
fashioned, regular treatment, Anopathie
doses of blue pin, purgatives that go
through him with the impetuous rush of
an avalanche, opium when he can't sleep,
and little beef tea to keep him alive I'M
der the assaults of the medicine men upon
his stomach, his intestines, his liver, and
his brain, all these he has to endure. Is It
any wonder that he becomes dreadully
weak, emaciated and detected Reader,
if you have any ''gumption," you would,
under any circumstances, and at all haZ-
ards, decline TO put yourself-otherwise
than suppositiously-in that mans place.
Now put yourself in the place of a person
with the same complaints who has had
the sense to resort TO Hostetter's stomach
Bitters as a remedy. He takes that agree
able and potent vegetable tonic and alter
alive, we will say, three times day. As a
necessary consequence, his appetite re-
turns, his digestion improves, his bodily
strength increases, his bowels become free
and regular, his sleep is sound and re-
freshing, his spirits grow buoyant, the
tinge of health returns to his complexion,
and in few weeks the cure Is complete.
This is no fancy picture, it is a brief alb
stract of the experience of thousands of
dyspeptic, bilious, debilitated and despair
ing patients. Is it necessary to ask the
reader in which of the two places he would
put himself, if afflicted with any disease OF
the stomach, the bowels, liver or the
nerves?

The Erie Indians.

refuses to live on the reservation, and
skulks around the settlements clad IN

and forthwith we begin to exalt the eX-
tinct race with the heart OF an anti
quarian and the pen of novelist. Ii
is only the degenerate, mind-fatlgulng
Indians of to-day whom we desplse-no
doubt the tribes of the past were OF
nObler nature. Among these tribes OF the
past there are none more completely past
than the Fries, who have left scarcely
more than a name behind them. They
belonged to that remarkable cOnfedera-
CIV of tribes called the Neutral Nation,
dwelling upon the southern shore of
Lake Erie, city of refuge for warning
parties on either side. To them belonged
the right of lighting the council fires of
peace, a ceremony which was said to
require a maiden hand, and for years
they held their place, respected and at
peace. Upon these Western islands
were some of their Businesses. Traces
of their Notifications were discovered
there by the first surveyors, earth works
built, apparently to enclose a village,
with gates and sally ports of wood, and
in one place a quantity of new stone
axes and arrow heads stored away in a
rude armory for future use. Picture
writing was also found, and one rock in
scription upon Kelley's Island has been
pronounced the most extensive, well
sculptured and preserved inscription
found in America The Fries were at
the head of the Neutral Nation, and at
the time of the first French explorers
they were in the hight of their power.
So much is known and no more. The
Iroquois came and swept them from the
face of the earth. "Of course" says

come sweeping in at the last as Sir Will

existence is known of them, says Park

sad Story of Maniac's Life.
A MAN CHAINED TO A LOG FOR NINE
TEEN YEARS.

TEEN 1EAhos
We learn from Mr. Robert Glenn, OF
the death, on the goth ult., of Lewis
Flint, at his home in Wyalusing. The
deceased was forty-five years of age.
From the same source we learn some
particulars of the life of the late unfor-
tunate. Mr.. Flint was an old resident
of Grant county. About nineteen years
ago it became manifest, from the sudden
change that came over him, That insanl-
ty was rapidly developing itself A log
cabin was built near the one III which
the family lived, where the demented
man was placed for better security. Con-
finement seemed to aggravate his disease
and increase his violence, which was
hard for his poor mother to bear, but all
efforts on the part of friends to have
him removed to some safe place were
unavailing. The physicians called to
examine his case pronounced INN nope
lesslv insane, therefore no room for him
could be found in the hospital .for the
insane, and to any other place they
feared to have him 60. Another plan,
however was adopted, which seemed to
have a better effect. \ large block OF
wood was obtained, too heavy TO carry,
to which was attached chain, and the
chain fastened around his ankle in such
manner as to produce no injury. This
arrangement allowed him some freedom
and he would divert himself by rolling
the block around in and out of doors at
pleasure. but it was always necessary to
watch his movements. 1t was many
times necessary for his brother, who had
charge of him, to be temporarily absent
from home, to which the invalid moth
er never objected. Strange as it may
seem, she felt safe to be left alone with
her insane son, who never during his
long insanity. when laboring under the
strongest paroXysms, seemed TO forget
the sacred name of mother. His sick
ness was of short duration. A few days
before death he was attacked by yio-
lent pain in the head, which so prOstrat-
ed him that he made no resistance to
being laid on his bed His reason now
for the first time in many years, seemed
to be partially restored. He told his
brother that he was going to die, asked
for what he wanted, and, discovering
his block some distance from his couch,
asked to have it rolled to his bedside.
with his own hand he wrapped the chain
once more around his ankle, and there
kept it until life's fitful dream was over.
The deceased was for several years a
charge of Grant county Grant County.

result of the late victory of his troops

The royal Bourbonist leader is, it is said,

his cause or die. His chances for either
result appear to have improved ; he has
more men, has obtained, we are told, a
loan of a very large sum of money, and
being completely in the field, he will
have a fine chance for the mortuary
qualification at the hands of the Spanish
soldiery. His Highness appears to pos
sess at least one good quality, which has
been rare with the monarchs of his dy-
nasty-gratitude for eminent services
He has promised to create General Dor
