An Interesting Case of
Insanity.
4 Brother of Hon. T. a. r. Mel.
son In a Tennessee Asylum.

A correspondent OF the Louisville
Courier Journal recently made
visit to the Tennessee Lunatic
Asylum, in Nashville, and reports
the following interesting case:
Moses Nelson has been confined
in the asylum here for three years
past. He is a brother Of Hon. I.
A Il: Nelson, is fifty years Of age,
and was sent from Knoxville,
where he resided at the time.
The exciting cause of his insani-
ty is the ownership of several
thousand acres of "white.top
lands" in East Tennessee, which
he is anxious TO dispose of at a
good round sum. am told that
he is really the owner Of these
broad (and Steep acres, yet they
are valuable only on account Of
their undeyeloped mineral wealth,
He remarked to one Of the com
mitteemen that be had been offer
ed S6,O00,G00 for the tract, but
the sum was feartully inadequate.
This same commltteeman-an
old acquaintance of Nelson, thinks
the patient is quite as sane as he
hes been for twenty years past,
and that he is confined more espe.
cially on account Of a morbid dis
position for bloodIetting, his fami'
ly, during his paroxysms of in
sanity, being in great danger oil
bodily harm.
His appeal to the committee tc
release him from confinement Dor
dered on the eloquent. 81 know,

if this was denied he must be

his enemies were on his track, ant

was that he had recently beel

Keep Il Stiff Upper Lip.
There has something gone wrong,
My brave boy, it appears,
For see the proud struggle
To keep back the tears.
That is right When you cannot
Give trouble the slip,
<Then bear it, still keeping
"a stiff upper lip"
Though you cannot escape
Disappointment and care,
The next best thing TO do
Is TO learn how to bear.
Ifwhen for life's prizes
You're running your trip,
Get up, start again
Keep stiff upper lip"
Let your hand and your conscience
Be honest and clean,
Scorn TO touch or think of
The thing that is mean;
But hold on to the pure
And the right with firm grip.
And though hard be the task,
Keep stiff upper lip"
Through childhood, through manhood
Through lie 10 the end,
Struggle bravely and stand
By your colors, my friend.
Only yield when you must;
Never give up the ship"
But fight on to the last
with stiff upper lip"

HENRY WARD BEECHER.-

HENRY WARD BEECHER.-A

He has $4,000 a year as editor
Of the Christian Union, to which
he gives his name to one article a
week, and he earns some $4,000
besides, by the little lecturing
and writing that he finds time
to do. He is probably, the
most popular lecturer in the
country, and could earn a great
deal of money in that way, if
he were willing to surrender
other duties. He has been off

$4,000 a season by lecture a.

even this high price'would leave

Earning $4,000 a year is re-

story in the course Of one of
his letters describing triI
through the Lone Star State:
The roads are fine, we bow

ing Kickapoo Springs in the
afternoon of the second day out
from Fredericksburg. Here We
dine and change mules. The
stationis kept By aMr. Flanagan
who claims to have a brother in
the United States Senate, al
though no one would ever sus-
pcct him of anything in that
line. He is worth a hundred
thousand dollars, and yet lives
in a shanty SO mean in appear
ance and in fact that it would
break the heart of a Pennsyl-
yania farmer to be obliged to
stable bis horses in it. He is
tall and gamt, as becomes a
Texan, and has a wife to match.
Judging from the number Of
carroty headed children that
swarm about his doors, his quiv-
er must be well nigh full. 1t is
in reference to the latest of
these that a story is told illus
Itrating the character Of the pa
ternal Flanagan. He is q dead
shot, and his rife is his arbiteT;;
yet he takes no mean advantage
He has been known to drive off
score of Comanches single
handed, thereby rescuing a
guard of of fifteen soldiers from
imminent peril. Well, when
the critical moment in the life
of the paternal Flanagan ap-
preached for the sixtieth time,
DR.. N, the surgeon at Fort
Concho, was summoned. Jim
T the trader accompanied,
him for days shooting, and
while the the doctor was profes-
sionally engaged Jim and Flan-
agan were in the hills Flana-.
gan, having one of those prac-
teal minds which are capable
of combining business with
pleasure, consulted Jim as to
the probable charge of DIN,
for his services and suggest
ed S25 Of something handsome,
Jim saw his opportunity for
some extra sport, SO he very
emphatically gave his opinion
that it was too much. "W ell,
what would be a reasonable
sum?" "Ten dollars would be
princely, but five would be e.
nough, for it was only fifty
miles," The question being
thus settled on the basis of ten
dollars, Jim and Flanagan re-
turned. The event had occur
red without mishap,it was a boy.
On the following, day when DIR
N-prepared to return to the
fort, Flanagan called him aside
an asked the extent Of the
damage"
"Well, inasmuch as you are
and old friend, and your wife is
regular patient, I'll charge
you only $50" rejoined the doc
/ tor.
"I'm little hard o hearin' L.
Did you say $5?"
"Fifty dollars"
DR.. N proceeded to COM
Iplete his preparations for the
! journey back to thepost, thinking
| no more about the matter. As
he was about to mount Flanagan
put in an appearance with his
trusty rifle in his hand.
