THE NASHVILLE MAIL THIEF.
He Confessts his Crime ana IL Bound
Over for Trial.

The Nashville American, motto.
ing the arTeet of the clerk in the Nash
vile Post Office, mn account of which
was given in our special of Thursday
morning, says:
The position Flanagan occupied was
one OF the most important i'm the post
office. He distributed all the mail
which came into the Office addressed
tO Nashville, asserting letters and pa
pens for the carriers, the general deliv
cry nnd the boxes. He was rapid
worker and was regarded rs one of the
best clerks that had ever been in the
office. Before the robberies came to light
he had sustained "a good character. He il
about twenty-oue years of age, and
highly educated, having graduated at
Notre Dame, Ind. He YVES aflable in
his manners aud disposed to be accom-
modating. He had served as clerk for
about twelve months. His salary was
Sl00 per month. and as he had no one
else but himself to support, 1t would
seem that the amount should have teen
sufficient for his wants.
Col. Minnis deserves much credit for
the style in which he worked up the
case, as well AS Postmaster Hasslock,
Assistant Postmaster Carols and Mr..
Terry, all Of whom afforded the special
agent valuable assistance. There is
nothing in which the public are more
deeply concerned than the honest man
| agemeut and prompt delivery of the
mails. The people are, therefore, anX-
ious that the postal laws shall be eff
ciently executed, and that mail depre-
dators shall be vigorously punished.
1t is probable that the witnesses against
Flanagan will go before the grand jury
of the United States District Court this
morning, and that an indictment Will
be found without delay.

Insanity of a Lottery Dealer.

The Cincinnati Enquirer states that
l.. d. Sine, of "Sine's Lottery" has
become hopelessly insane, and guar
dian has been appointed to take charge
of his estate, which is valued at several
hundred thousand dollars. Mr.. Sine
is native of Hampshire county, West
Virginia, and is a printer by trade.
About the year 1850 he lost his eyes
whilst attempting to clean out with
powder a steam pipe in printing Of
flee. He then engaged in the lottery
business, in which he amassed a large
fortune, and was doing a prosperous
business until last spring, when the
Postmaster General issued an order
forbidding the payment to Sine of
money orders from the sale of lottery
tickets.

Too Severe Study.

1t has been pretty accurately ascertained
that girls are not as rule so able, constitu-
tionally, to bear study as boys are, and that
the effects of severe study will in most in
stances be detrimental. This has been
found to be the case in America more than
in England. Not long ago there was
brought before the commissioners Of insan-
ity in San Francisco young girl whose
mind was diseased to an extent that rem
dered her committal to the asylum inevita-
Bile. The reason assigned was the evil
above alluded TO. The girl had been de-
voted to her studies. She had endured the
"cramming" process until her mind gave
way, and although, according to the school
reports, highly distinguished in her clas-
ses," she is to-day helpless lunatic from
the effcts of this unnatural and wretched
method of subjecting youthful minds to a
torture which must inevitably result in
severe mental impairment. 1t is every
year becoming more evident that, if the old
order of things is TO be reyolutionized, il
will not answer to do so without taking
great pains to find out what are the nature
and limits of the education which the mind
of an average girl will bear without injury
TO mental and bodily health.
