RAILROAD CAsEs.-Five cases pending be.
fore Squire Hayhurst, brought by VIM. A.
Murphy against the Bel. Del. R. r. Co., fol
penalties for taking illegal toll, were on
Thursday last decided by jury in favor OF
the plaintiff, and similar case before Squire
Angel, between tie same parties, was on Fri
day last decided by another jury, also in favor
Of plaintiff.
The question involved in the cases were 1st.
Whether the act of 1852, authorizing Railroad
Companies to charge 12A cents for small
packages, whatever may be the weight or
the distance carried was constitutional or
not ed. If the act was constitutional,
whether the company had right to charge
kegs of beer as small packages /; and 3D.. If
they had such right, then if the limitation
contained in the act of 1854 did not prevent
them from charging package rate when more
than Ave packages were sent at the same time,
even IL they did not charge for more than
five. VIM. Halsted, Esq, argued the cases
for plaintiff and C. A. Skillman, Esq, for the
defendants.

TAXING CARE OF RELATIONS,

Senator Sherman appears to have
been doing what Grant has successfully
done-taking care of his relations, but
whether they be ''poOr relation" is not
reported. However, the ST. Louis
Globe, a Republican organ, is displeas-
ed with the Senator, probably becausehe
has not been smart enough to cover up
his tracks. That journal says:
Senator Sherman is az honest man
and an exemplary public servant, but
he has suffered much from the mis-
doings of his near relations. A few
years ago his brother, the United States
Judge for the Northern District of
Ohio, openly traded with New York
brokers on the influence he pretended
to have over the Senator's conduct as
Chairman Of the Finance Commit
tee. This led to an investigation which
resulted in the resignation of the
Judge. And now an old war
scandal is revived showing a conspiracy
between the Senator's brother-in law,
Capt. MOulton, and others Of high
estate, to swindle the government out
of large sums on army contracts. Moul-
ton was Quartermaster at the time, and
he was in the habit of acting in collu-
sion with capitalists and spectators to
bull and bear the markets to the disad-
vantage of the Government Mr., Sher-
man has laid himself liable to the
charge of being too careful of his
family relations in his public career.
He has pulled too hany of them
through at Washington, and several OF
them haFe been guilty OF what may be
politely termed 'impropri6ties.

INSANITY Asp TIE SEXES.

What proportion of the insane do
male and female bear to each
other? what causes tend more to over
throw reason among men than women,
and rice Uersa? and what are the pro-
portions of married, single and widow
insane? These questions interest the
community at large as wen as profess
sional men, and we are answered by the
Philadelphia Age by reference to
8, 400 cases which have been treated
in the principal asylums of Pennsyl-
vania during a term of years. Ac-
cording to that journal, these cases
were quite evenly divided as to sex,
there being 1923 males and 4,066
females. The same equality of divis-
ion is shown in the admissions into the
hospitals last year-l,99S in all-l.OS4
males, GA females. But, considering
the discharged in comparison with to-
tails, the proportion of women pre-
dominates, being 273 females to 279
males. Yet more of the women are re-
admitted than the men. Women and
men, then, are equally liable to insan-
ity. Women are more easily restored,
partially or wholly. They are more
liable to a relapse. ''Moral causes"
such as religious excitement, spir-
itualism, bereavement, disappoint-
ed affections and expectations,
protracted anxiety, etc, drive three
women crazy to one man. This proves
that women are less fitted to sustain a
protracted strain upon the intellect and
feelings than men; in other words, their
reason is weaker. Among physical
causes" general i'll health upsets the
reason of about two women. to one
man, which puts the constitutions Of
our women In bad light. Consider
ing two other physical causes, we find
that from ordinary intemperance
FIVE men to one women lose their
reason; while excessive use of
opium dement's three women to two
men. 1t is shown by these cases, that
insanity attacks more married than I'M
married persons, the per cent of the
former (of all insane) being about 40,
that of the latter 45. Fewer wives than
husbands lose their reason-the pro-
portion IA to l6; and this disparity is
more marked among the single, the
number of women to the men being as
u to IL. The widowed are about 8 per
cent of all insane, while the insane
widows are more than double the in
sane widowers.

IL Mr. Schurz, or anybody else, can
give us a sound reason why money
should not be as cheap in the West and
South as in Germany, France or Eng
land, we would like to haveit Wepro-
duce as much, or more according to the
population &C those States do, and
money really with Us oGght to be cheap
er; yet 1t is not. Why is tlis?-
Brownsville States.
The explanation is simple enough.
Labor is cheap and abundant in Eu-
rope. while it is scarce and
unreliable with ss. bqrGpe'g need
is emigration, while our need is immi-
grafton. On the Continent it is a COM
mon thing to meet men in mental en-
pigments who are highly educated ac-
cording to our standards. TIey per-
haps dislike work as much as men of
similar education in this country; but
in Europe it is a matter Of meat and
bread. After all, it is labor that pro-
duces accumulated wealth and makes
the money market easy for other classes
if not for itself. ...

In his speech in the Massachusetts,
Legislature a few weeks ago in opposi-
ton to an exposition at Philadelphia
in connection with the centennial cele-
bration Of American independence,
John Quincy Adams quoted from his
great grandfather, John Adams, one of
the signers OF the Declaration of indie
pendence, the following paragraph
which that old patriot wrote to hiswife:
q am apt to believe that 1t will he
celebrated by succeeding generations
as the great anniversary festival. 1t
ought 70 be commemorated as the day
of deIiveranee by solemn acts of deFo-
ton to God Almighty. II ought to be
solemnized with pomp andparade, With
shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bon
fires. and illuminations, from one end
of the continent to the other from this
time forward forever.
To this the Massachusetts legislator
added the suggestive comment: "TEat
old gentleman had not learned all the
things of our day, which his descend
ants had TO find out. Instead of
making it a day OF tha4kfulness and
praise for the national deliveraacs. We
were going to make great fair and
put up praises in honor of the almighty
dollar"

CAPT. SHAW, Chief of the London
Fire Brigade, expressed the opinion
touching the burning Of the Pantechu-
icon, claimed to be fire-prOof, that IN
nine cases out of ten the so-called ''hre-
proof" buildings were a delusion, and
he added that every compartment of
building should be subdivided, so that
each subdivision should bemanageable
in case of fire. Buildings can be made
so nearly fre-proof as tc greatly reduce
the danger from fire. This was recently
demonstrated In the case Of the Potter
Palmer House In Chicago. In one OF
the upper rooms Of that hotel a fire
smouldered for three hours and half,
and the damage was confined TO the
burning of the carpet and staining the
paper on the walls by smoke. 1t could
90 no further, because the floor Of the
room was plaster, and the partitions OF
a ike non-inhammable substance. This
shows that buildings can be made
almost fre-proof if those erecting them
will use the proper means to reach that
point.

SIGNALING between the earth and
the planet Venus is suggestion made
in all good faith by French astrono-
mer. NJ. Charles Cros, who considers
the coming transit Of Venus to be a
good opportunity for ascertaining
whether there are inhabitants on the
planet, and, If so, entering into rela-
lions with them. He says: ''It Is pos
sible that Venus is inhabited; that
among its inhabitants are astronomers;
that the latter judge the passage OF their
planet across the solar disc to be an OBJ
iect to excite our curiosity; finally, 1t
is possible that these 8aUaas Will strive
IN some way to make signals to
us at the precise moment when
they might suppose that many tele-
scopes will be leYeled at their planet"
This is all very fine for Tachypomp,
but we have yet to hear of NJ. Charles
Cros, or any other star-gazer Haunting
signals for the benefit Of our neighbOrs
on the exterior planets, when we hap
pen TO cross the suns disc from their
standpoint of observation.
