A CRAZY STATE TREASURER.

Mr.. Thomas Raines, Treasurer of this
State, is lunatic in the asylum at Utica,
and his friends fear that he never will be
restored to his right mind. The Phelps de-
falcation in the Treasurer's department,
nearly year ago, by which the State will
lose about 100000, annoyed Mr.. Raines
very much, and when this was followed by
the recent failure of bank in Rochester,
of which he was manager, and in which his
entire private fortune and that of his fami-
ly was invested, he broke down completely.
MIR. Raines' insanity is of religious type.
lie imagineS himself at times to be ST.
Peter or st. Paul, and is continually pray
ing and reading or quoting from the Bible.
One unfortunate result of his insanity
should he not recover-will be the escape
of the defaulter Phelps, as without the tes-
timony Of Mr.. Raines it will be impossible
to convict him. The case of Mr.. Raines is
another illustration of the effects of mans
undertaking to do too much. He was of a
nervous and excitable temperament, and
the cares of tie State Treasury, together
with the management of his large private
business in Rochester, were too much for
him.

Government securities are firm. T
following are the quotations at 2i15i

Tennessee bonds are quoted in New
York at S2a and 63s. They are very dull
here, with no disposition to buy on the
part of investors, and dealers will not buy
except on good margin under the New
York rates.
Our local securities are very dull. Quo
tably Davidson and Wilson county bonds
are the strongest and may be quoted at "a.
Nashville City bonds will not sell as
readily as they did two years ago, for the
reason that the present authorities seemed
determined TO force holders to bring suit on
the coupons, which causes expense and de-

SANITARY FACTS ABOUT FARM.

The report of the Massachusetts,
Board of Health for this year contains
"a valuable paper on the farmers of that
State. 1t makes the surprising state
ment that the 'value of farm-products
Is greater, both per farm and per acre,
IN Massaohusetts" than in New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan,
or Minnesota. The neatness of the
farm to the market is the reason for
this remarkable fact. The census re-
turns of 1870 prove it. This is not the
only blessing of these Down-East agri.
culturists. Like their brethren of the
Augustan Age, they would be "too
happy, did they but know their own
good fortune" They live, on an aver
age, 65.13 years, which is 14.19 years
beyond the average. They might live
even longer, if they cared to. The
Massachusetts doctors-or forty-six
of them-have answered the question:
what causes tend TO injure the health
of the farmers and their families ?'' as
follows: "Overwork," &c; Improper
diet" %; exposure, is; sanitary
defects 10; want of ventilation" Z:
~overwork, among women" 6; want of
recreation 5; indoor life of women"
3; ''ignorance.ofhygienic laws, 3; anx-
iety," 3; 'irregularity of work." 8;
neglect Of bathing" ?; damp eel.
lars" 2. Most of these causes of death
could be removed by care and common
sense. As the Nation says, they might
all be summed up under the phrase
mot knowing how to hve''-a fact that
suggests to the Chicago Tribune one
great defect In our schools. 1t says
They should teach the laws of health.
No man who had once seen the simple
experiments that show the deadly in
huence of impure air upon life would
build his home on the model of an air
tight stove. No one who knew how de-
poison would be content to live above
a dead fat surface, unpierced by any
drain whatever, into which the refuse
of the house slowly soaks. The man
who has studied hygiene will be slow to
load his stomach with fat pork and hot,
lumpy bread, and nOndescript masses
fshed out Of the kissing grease of the
frying-pan. By stunning the horrors
of bad air, bad water, bad food, the
American farmer may develop into a
modern Methusaleh. When that time
comes, his wife, who is now the chief
raw material for our lunatic asylums,
may possibly exist quite a long time
before death or insanity puts an end
to the grind of overwork that makes
up her whole life

PLANTING PROSPECTS IN THE MIS-.
SISSIPPI VALLEY

Everybody Is busy in their fields in the
valley, and planting, even in the over
flowed districts, will be all complete this
week. This encouraging news comes in
freely from all sources. The John S. Mil
Ter place, below Friar's Point, reported
totally ruined few days ago, is nearly re-
planted, and the whole place viii be again
in cultivation before the close of the pres
ent week. The recent crevaSse carried
huge rivers Of water directly over the mid
die Of the Miller place, but the alluvial de-
posts The water has left will render it more
valuable than before, and a good crop is
promised this year. On the Deasou place,
near Carson's Landing, $50 miles below
here, 1000 acres have been planted in cCt-
ton since the overflow.
