. Lunacy in Scotland.

An official statement, recently pub
llshed, shows that there are in Scotland
nearly 5000 lunatics inasylums, private
dwellings and sundry institutions-co
siderably more than half this number
estimated that there are nearly 1000
being females-while, in addition, it is
unreported, the mass of whom are little
removed from pauperism. The number
of insane actually known to the official
authorities has increased in three wears
about thirty per cent. Eighty per pent.
of the inmates of lunatic establishments
are paupers, the remainder being private
patients, and hence the inference is
drawn that " Insanity is essentially a
disease affecting the less affluent classes. +"
Moreover, it is anticipated that the num-
Der of insane poor will go on steadily
increasing until the sanity education of
the masses has made some progres. The
average annual number of pauper luna
tics produced" throughout Scotland
during the last thirteen years has been
about 80 for every 100, 900 of the popu-
lation. Comparing the statistics of
English and Scotch asylums, it appears
that the mortality in the former avera-
ges one-ffth higher than the latter but
Scotch lunatics, it seems, are either
naturally more prone to suicide, or have
greater facilities at their disposal for
terminating their confinement in this
way, the number of such cases of self
destruction being much greater in Scot
land than in England.

tee, that they stopped the course of the
stream for three days, and that for
weeks afterward the color of its waters
was blood-red. In their superstition,
the people of the neighb orhood believe
that, during the night of the day of the
massacre, every year, the Baghrettee
assumes the same color, and that the
spirits of Tamerlanes daughter, of her
lover, and of the immolated prisoners,
haunt its banks on that occasion.
Four times again sanguinary battles
were fought at the same memorable
spot; but, on all those occasions, the
people of the country succeeded in re-
pelling the attacks of the invaders.
The Russians, this time, will certainly
have no easy task in trying to cross the
river at Tiri. The frail bridge will pro-
badly be allowed to remain in its pres
ent condition up to the last moment,
owing to the superstitious belief of the
