warm in bed by artificial means, the
free breathing of pure, fresh air will at
all times keep up the natural animal
heat. In typhus fever, complications
of all kinds, of the lungs or any other
organ, only render the free access of
pure fresh air more urgent and more
necessary; it also enables the patient
to take stimulants more easily when
they are necessary.

Macadamfzing n success.

Since the matchmaking OF French street from
Front to Ninth has been finished, and part OF it
experienced severe winter, it is admitted even
by the former opponents OF this system of paw
ing, that 1t is great success, and that even in
our larger cities there are few if any thorough
fares equal to it for smoothness. As for dust,
the sprinkler has laid it and the only objection
at the same time. The driving on this street
has increased greatly, so that even in Market
St., there is probably less light driving than in
French. We hope that the last street in Will
mington has been paved with rubble stone it If
ID nuisance to drive over, very noisy, and soon
becomes even more rough and uneven than at
first by the sinking Of the smaller stones re.
quiring much labor and expense to be put in
good condition, while few loads of broken
stones and few hours rolling by the "Englist
bull' will repair large extent of the macada,
mized pavement There can be no question
that the new work is success.

" OyERWORK'-WHAT BROKE DOWN ROB-
ERT DALE OWEN.

The first impression Of the calse of Robert
Dale Owens iHsanity-thst mental disturbance
was caused by intense modification and disap-
pointmenr attendant on the Katie King" ex-
posure--seems likely to 10 materially changed
by later developments. Numerous denials of the
spiritual" theory have been made by persons
whose relations to the afflicted gentleman rem
der them competent to speak, among the num-
Der being one by daughter of Mr.. Owen. These
Witnesses scout the notion that the 'Katie
King" failure could weaken Mr.. Ovens
faith in Spiritualism per Sc, or that dsappoint-
ment Of that kind, however severe, could over
throw reasoning power of much more than usual
strength. And such opinions are now supple
mented by a valuable one of another kind--that
of Mr.. Ovens confidential medical adviser, un-
der whose professional eye the famous liaerdtsur
and reformer became 30 far demented as to ne
cessitate his removal to an asylum. Doctor
]. @. jackson is the medical man referred to,
and he has given in letter to the press
very full report of the case, leading to the jus
conclusion that NJ. Owen broke down under
stress Of circumstances with which his disap-
peintment may have had something to do but
which was, at the most, only one element in
niany. Several months before any symptoms OF
insanity appeared Mr.. Owen placed himself in
DR.. Jackson's care. He was found by the Doc
tor to be reduced by complication OF disorders
Of the nerves. stomach and kidneys Digestion
and nutrition were impaired there was
an overtaxed brain and debilitated
nervous system, and ian intellectual restlessness
that betokened no good to his health 1t did
not require even man learned in physiology
and medicine to say that patient showing these
symptoms needed more than auglt else, rest.
That was the principal ingredient in DR.. jack
sons prescription, rest and Mr.. Owen knew,
of course, that the sdvice was good. For all
that, he thought he could not rest "You
talk Of impossibilities, DOCTOR" he said,
Il am bound to the quill for an
other year" "very WE'LL" said the Doctor,
''you will do as you choose, but tell you if
yon do not knock off work you cannot live"
But the sternest of caution did not avail the
busy man kept up the strain; at last he made
awearing journey to deliver lecture; after it
he lay for days in fever, and when the fever
broke he again went rashly to work, and
before many weeks the end had
come. II we accept this new YER
sion of a calamity which has excited so much
interest-and there seems to be no reason for
doubling it's substantial correctness-we must
allow it to be one of the most impressive in
stances Of the folly of over-work yet reported.
II even man Of Mr.. Owens intelligence could
not recognize the danger, could not, at least,
put that recognition to the proof,-how car VIC
expect to see the lesson generally learned?
