Result Of the Labors of the New England
AssociatiOn-A Strange Medley.
BosToN, Feb. "a, 1873
The old hacks OF the New England LABOR Reform
League, who have been in session here for the last
few days, have finally come out this evening with
declaration Of principles OF which the following is
the substance
Frst-RecOgnizing the unity Of humanity, that
the highest welfare OF each depends upon that of
all, that the injury OF one is the injury OF all
SecOnd-SOciety should be common providence
for the equal protection, assistance and encourage
ment OF all.
Misunderstanding the existing poverty, disease
and crime-doing system to be but another name
for organized fraud, duplicty and war, resting on
crystalllzed abuses OF prior savage barbaric and
oppressive ages. Hence the laborer goes starving
to his rest OF straw, while the i0ler and the drone
loll in debasing luxury.
F0urth-In view Of the present existence Of
AFFAIRS demand that society shall take its strong
feet of the necks OF women; that they snail be
clothed with citizenship and political and social
rights equal with men.
Ffftt-Afflrming that the conflict between CAPT.
tai and labor is not normal, but artificial.
Sfrtt-Speculation is fraud, whether in money
or property. Things are worth what they cost and
not what selfish MISUNDERSTANDING can ext0rt as
their price.
Sece'uh-Pledging warfare with capital as the
enemy OF labor and to grasp the foe with hands of
steel into new world OF unity, order and peace.

The jury in the Monroe Snyder murder case rem
dered a verdict this. morning that the deceased

he could defend himself, that he was struck with
bludgcon or sandbag, producing instant death,
and that the body was then thrown over the side of
the bridge, after which the murderer leaped over
a low wall at the end Of the bridge
into q pig pen, and, walking back through the
snow to where the body lay, robbed it, and, to
make sure OF death, stabbed 1t; but as no blood
flowed it was evident that life was already extinct.

INSANITY IN THE MIDDLE AGEs.-The
middle ages, were period of upheavel,
when everything was swallowed up in
the bottomless abyss of scholasticism and
demonology, and medicine became rou-
tine of superstitious practices. Such and
such plant was considered beneficial, if
gathered at the new moon; but deadly
poison, if at the new moons wane. Sci
ence, art, and literature, went down in
the storm, and wars, battles, pestilence,
and famine were the order of the dav.
As God was invoked in vain, men turned
to Satan. The belief in the devil was
universal, and the world became a hell.
Now both science and experience show
that the prevailing notions of given
period are very rapidly taken up by the in
sane, and by them distorted into grotesuue
shapes, with uniformity resembling the
symptoms of epidemic disorders This
phenomenon is of daily occurrence. Thus.
accordingly as France is ruled BY King,
an Emperor, or President, those insane
persons who imagine themselves to be
somebody, claim the rank of President.
Emperor, or King, as the case may be.
Just now, respectable women patients at
Saltpetriere, Ste-Anne, Vaucluse and Vile
Evard Asylums, solemnly assure the ply
sicians in charge that they are petrole,Gses !,
while men of unquestionable patriotism
will tell you that they guided the Prus-
slams up the heights of Sedan. The pho
nomenon therefore of diabolical possession
in the middle ages is perfectly natural.
The calamities attendant on continual
wars had so enervated the people, that
The Hawaiian gazette., 1873-02-05

they were fit subjects for all manner OF
mental disorder; and this, taking form
from the prevailing ideas of the times,
found expression in demoniacal possession.
During the middle ages the devil was
everywhere-u6iqne demon. There was
one religious sect whose adopts were ever
splitting, hawking, and blowing the nose
with view to expel the devils they had
swallowed. A trace of this still remains
in some localities, where one who sneezes
is saluted with "God bless you'll" Such
beliefs were universal Thus a certain
prior of a convent had around him con-
stantly a guard of two hundred men, who
hewd the air with their swords, so as to
cut TO pieces the demons who were assail-
ing him. Demons were even cited to ap-
pear before ecclesiastical tribunals-A Gu
rious and pitiful epoch, when the possess
ed and their exorcists were madmen alike.
This view of insanity was favored by
the philosophical, or rather the theological
ideas of the time According to these,
man was of two-fold nature. On the one
hand was the flesh, mere matter; on the
other, the soul, direct emanation from
Deity, passing through the vale of tears,
on its way to the ineffable glory of heav-
en-. The body is but the souls dwelling
place-a temple or a den, accordingly as
its invisible inhabitant is a servant of
God or of Satan. Therefore, when the
soul is diseased, the treatment must re-
gard the soul alone, which is governed by
laws of its own, and is merely in juxtapo-
sition with the body for moment. No
doubt the ideal of purity thus held up was
sublime; yet the result of it was the up
setting of the body's equilibrium; and
this reacted on the mind. But this theory
led to still more serious consequences; for
it was admitted into science, and checked
the progress of the medical art. When,
in 1928 Broussais attacked it, he was ac-
cused of blasphemy and of sapping the
foundations of society. Now, however,
we know that the faculties of the mind
are not independent of the conditions of
the body Take a slight dose of sulphate
of quinine, and you lose, for the time be-
ing, the faculty of recollection; swallow
a little hashish. and you are transiently
insane-Populr Science Monthly.

QUEEN VIcToRIAs AMusENEHTs.-The Queens
walks and drives are not confined within her own
politics. She crosses the Dee almost daily, and
is quite as often seen on the opposite side of the
river. She always uses an open carriage, but not
always the same. Sometimes it is wagonelte,
sometimes low pony pheton. No guard of
honor accompanies the royal equpage, however.
Her trusty attendant, John Brown, sits on the
box beside the coachman, and when there is not
room for him there he rides on horseback by the
side of the carriage. No fuss attends the Queen.
An outrider little in advance of the royal car.
rage clears the road, and the Queen goes quietly
on her way, with a smile and a nod for any one
who chances to meet her. But as a rule, her
Majesty is not iutruded upon when she ventures
beyond the royal domains, unless on Sunday and
then it Is strangers only who run after her. The
cottagers do not annoy her, and she comes and
goes without molestation. Indeed they make
point of keeping out Of the way when the white
horse Of the outrider appears 10 sight Should
the Queen, however, happen to come unexpect-
eddy on her subjects by Deeside, she is deferen-
frequently picnic" in the woods or on the hill
side should it be handler. Materials to make q
fire and cooking utensils are taken in the carriage,
and tea is made on the green sward, and handed
round in rustic fashion without any ceremony.
At these afternoon teas the Queen has no
special chair of honor. Her seat is pretty often
on the stump of tree, with her cup in her hand,
or any other casual resting place that turns up
conveniently. Excursions are made also to va
rious places of interest and every corrie and glen
within reach has been visited by the royal family.
