ESCAPED LUNATIC.--An unfor-
tunate individual, named Pat Har-
rington, got on board the steamer
Phantom, at Semiahmoo last Sun
day, and was brought to this city.
His condition was most deplorable.
His feet had been frozen from ex-
posurs during the late cold snap
so badly as to render thom useless.
Soon after the boat left the place
of his embarkation he, by some
means, got overheard, but through
the exertions of the crew was
rescued. 1t then became appar-
ent to the officers that he was in
sane. Upon his arrival here
number Of citizens made up purse
for him, and he was taken to the
hospital. 1t subsequently appear
edgthat he had been an inmate of
an insane asylum in British Colum-
bia, whence be had escaped and
made his way by a trail to Semi
ahmoo. On Tuesday be was placed
on board an up-Sound steamer for
transportation to the Asylum at

And Yet He Is Not Happy.

The vanity of human ambition, and
the homilics of the preacher about the
inability Of fame or riches to confer hap
piness, were never more strikingly con
hrmed than in the person of the most
eminent political parsonage now living.
One would think that nature and fortune
had conferred everything on Prince Bis
marck calculated to afford him boundless
content, proud retrospect and the seren-
ity of happy safety. He may plume him
self upon the conc ded fact that, of all
men living in the possession OF power, he
is the chief; if there be a world mover in
this general on, it is he. A word from
him would set a legion of million and
q half of the best soldiers ON the g ODE
in motion; In one hour he is impressing
his will on fore gn cour s, in the next he
is waging "a successful fight against the
still mighty spiritual forces of Rome.

The New Hampshire Election.

Now that the dust and smoke of the
battle in New Hampshire have cleared
away, it is possible to ascertain results
and see how the two parties stand. The
Democrats have elected two of the three
Congressmen-numer gain of one,
but practically of no importance, con
sidering the majority the Democrats al
ready have in the House, this one having
been gained owing to the personal, not po-
litcal, unpopularity OF his opponent. The
Republicans have secured the joint bal
lot in the Legislature ana the Gov, rnor,
and the Democratic majority of last year
OF 800 votes has been wiped out This
result shows that the Democratic cur
rent has come to stand-still and that
the party has had setback 1t is sub
stantially a Republican victory. There
was no reason Why the Democracy should
not have achieved decisive victory in
New Hampshire-a victory as extensive
as those which occurred in November.
They were in power in the State. They
had the pfecedents of November to work
upon. Their election took place imme-
diately after the adjournment of a Con-
gress which, 10 say the least, had not been
q popular one. They had vigorously
canvassed the State with Northern and
Southern orators, firing the popular
heart There was also no reason for the
Republicans to expect to carry it. They
fought in forlorn hope They not only
contended with the Democratic party in
power, but with the Republican blum
ders and mistakes. The result shows a
reaction. The current has stopped in
its onward course and turned the
other way--a most ominous symp-
tom for the Democracy. 1t shows
that, notwithstanding the present
failures and mistakes of the Repuhli-
cans, the people are hesitating about
placing the Government in the hands of
the Democracy. Their professions of
reform arr at a discount; there is lack
OF faith in them. 1t shows that the del
uge Of Novtmbe was not completely
overwhelming. 1t gives The Republicans
of New Hampshire Il position from which
they can hardly be dislodged, and it
argues that, Notwithstanding the reverse
OF last year, the Republican party is
Still alive, rong in popular confidence,
and that its princi les are still necessary
to the welfare of the Government. Wher-
ever the Democrats are in power they
show no improvement upon the Repub-
licans, but have done worse, and the
New. Hampshire election only proves
thatthe people are already beginning to
distrust their protestations OF reform.
