What Causes Insanity.

DIR. Kirkbride, physician-in-chi of
the Pennsylvania Hospital for the In
sane, in his annual report gives the
causes of the insanity of $500 patients
admitted to the hospital since its open
ing Six hundred andten of these cases
originated in intemperance, two hun
dred and six in religious excitement,
one hundred and thirty-three in domes
tic difficulties, while to i'll health and a
purely physical character 1,249 cases
were due. OF females two hundred and
fifty-six lost their reason through grief,
caused by loss of friends and similar
Affections, while only seventy y-seven
males were affected by the same cause
and in general the proportion of female
patients who were victims of emotional
diseases bore in excessive ratio to the
number of the other sex.

Fertilization Of Tobacco Fields.

The average amount of ash in dried
Virginia tobacco, as determined by
Messrs. nby and Cabell, from six speci-
mems, is 11.64 per cent, that of Euro
pear tobacco being 1852 per cent, that
of Connecticut and Massachusetts, tobac-
co 1856 per cent, and that of Kentucky
tobacco 1888 per cent. The cause OF
the well established rapid exhaustion of
the soil by tobacco crops is shown in the
fact that of this ash from 26.73 to 80. So
per cent. is potassa, while of soda there
is from one to six per cent. present. 1t
is evident that no soil con support un-
assisted drain like this for long time,
and the business of tobacco growing
threatens to undergo very serious modi-
fications in addition to those already suf-
fered. TO obviate the effects of this
prodigal expenditure of the earth's re-
sources, the use of fertilizers is largely
resorted to, and artificial fertilizers are
preferred to the natural guanos. The
artificial ones are compounded OF dried
blood, the unused parts of animals sub
mitted to the rendering" process, and
fish cake, which is the residue left after
expressing the fish oil. Bone phosphatef
are often added, besides sulphate Of
ammonia, to bring the proportion OF
phosphorus and nitrogen up to the
standard. The animal ingredients in
such manures contain great deal of po-
tassa, and it ought not to be difficult to
"bring up" the mixture to any desira-
BILE point by the addition of some po.
tassic compound. In this way special
fertilizers for the use of tobacco growers
could be compounded. The manufac
ture of these manures in some degree
compensates for the violence done tc
natures processes by the establishment
of cities. Cities are obliged to provide
special cemeteries for vast amount OF
material which in country life goes tC
replenish the field; but since the growth
of the industry in fertilizers it has beer
found that cities, by concentrating the
supply of raw material, directly con
tribute to the preparation of strong ma
nures, and their strong distribution tc
the places most in need of them.

THE PRESS. Men look to the press to
guide them in business and in social
affairs. They do not know whether to
applaud foreign artist or a strange or
der until the press has s oxen. The ad-
vertising columns are as much read as
the editorial columns. The heaviest ad
vertisers are the most successful business
men. In this day no man can afford to
let the press alone, if he wishes to do a
large trade, any more than farmer can
withhold his corn in the spring time, or
SOW his grain with sparing hand.

A Valentine.

I've loved you through the summers glow;
I've lovOd you through the springs delaying
Through Aprils rain, December's snow,
I've loved you STILL there's no gainsaying.
You arc no saint, that should kneel
In worshipful despair before you,
And yet, when by your side, feel
'Twere heaven itself thus to adore you.
Since it may be-ah, welladay !
Only while this days sun doth shine here,
And not forever and for aye,
That you will be my valentine, dear.

How TO CURE SORE THROAT Buy
at any drug store one ounce of camphor-
ated oil, and five cents worth of chlorate
of potash. Whenever any soreness ap-
pears in the throat, put the potash in
half tumbler of water, and with it gar
gle the throat thoroughly, then rub the
neck thoroughly with the camphorated
oil at night before going to bed, and also
place around the throat a small strip of
woolen flannel. This is simple, cheap,
and sure remedy.

A Bows Charity.

Well, my son." said Detroit
father to his eight-year-old son the other
night, "what have you done to-day
that may be set down as a good deed p
"Gave poor boy five CENTS" replied
the hopeful. "Ah, alb that was chari-
ty, and charity is always right. He was
an orphan boy, was he p "I didn't
stop to ask, replied the boy; "I gave
him the money for licking boy who
spit in my dinner basket"

The Bolivar bulletin. [volume] (Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tenn.) 1865-1888, 1875-07-09
A Distressing Scene.

The Patterson papers tell the follow
ing distressing story: Mrs. Post, wife
of Thomas V. r. Post, residing on the
Erie railway, near RidgewoOd, sent her
children to the store, about half mile
distant, on an errand. They were so
long absent that she feared they would
be late for school, and accordingly
taking her yOungest-a little boy of less
than two ears-alOng with her, she
started ont to look for them and found
them. They not having been to the
store or else having forgotten something
she concluded to go herself and send
them on to school. She left the little
one behind, and started, not intending
to be long gone. Upon returning some
half an hour later she observed as she
neared the track express train No. u
come laundering along at the rate of a
mile a minute, it being two hours be
hind time. She also saw her child
sitting, carelessly tossing up the sand,
directly between the tracks and IN the
way of the incoming train. She rUshes
forward and Wild with alright almost
iron wheels. So near was she that the
locomotive struck her hands IN pa sing,
as she held them forth in her agOnized
attempt to do something for her child.
The train passed and the little one vas
discovered with it's head completely
severed from it's body-in fact, eye
witnesses aver that the child's head
rolled on one side as the body fell on
the other. The mother is said to have
become q maniac

The Hot Springs.

There is great activity of expectation
at least, amongst the inhabitants of Hot
Springs, Ark. The supreme court has
decided that the property belongs to
the United States aud not to any of the
numerous Chalmers and squatters on the
premises. It is expected, therefore,
that the government will appropriate
money to put the place in charge of the
military, sweep and garnish it, and per-
haps clear out the faro gamblers, who
are legion there. Judging from the
eminence of many visitors, such as
Senator Morton, Hon. John Morr.ssey,
Gen. Hooker and others who have
crossed the continent to get relief at the
springs, and have revisited them III
many cases, there must be more efficacy
in the Hot Springs than in most of the
puddles and schemes that are adver-
tised. There are fifty seven springs
whose united supply could battle 20, 600
persons daily, allowing twenty five
gallons to each. There are also a num-
Der of mud baths where the poorer
people lie like pigs in puddle, often
covered with horrible ulcers. The water
is hot enough to cook eggs in a quarter
of an hour, with minnOws, sun ish,
suckers and bass. The springs are
more Gudu 1, JUU IeCJ ABOVE buC SBd ,
they fall in a brook twenty or thirty
feet wide, and the NOM ain from which
they emanate is part of the Ozark
system of Missouri and Indian Terri
tory, The Indians used them for
syphilitic, paralytic and rheumatic
complaints, and still return occasionally
to get rid of the white mans ailments.
There appears to be no particular value
in the water bub the force of the stream
directed upon the body expels nOxious

How He Caught Them

Some years ago, an eccentric genius,
the Rev. Thomas p. Hunt, used to give
temperance lectures. One night he an
nOunced that he would lecture IN Eiston
Now, tempe rance was not In favor
among the male portion of the burg.
The women, however, were all In for the
pledge, aud consequently, on Hunts
first night not a man showed himself in
the hall. The benches were pretty we'll
filled with women, though, and Hunt
commenced; but, instead of temperance,
he put them through on the vanities of
dress, etc. They wore great pulled
feather sleeves then. They-the sleeves
caught it, then their tight lacing, and
so on through the whole catalogue Of
female fOlIies; not word about temper
ance. And the ladies went home hop
ping mad. told their husbands about it,
and voted old Hunt down to the lowest
notch.
He had announced that he would lee
ture at the same place the next night.
Long before the time appointed they
commenced to come, and when Hunt
hObOled down the aisle the buildis was
comfortably we'll filled with men. The
old fellow looked about, chuckled, an6
muttered " Hogs, I've got yOu now =
The audience stared. 'Aha, hogs, I've
got you now -
After the crowd had got quiet a little
the lecturer said Friends, yoU
wanted to know what I meant by say
ing. hogs, I've got you nov, and I'll te
you. Out west the hogs run wild anC
when folks get out of meat they .tch
young pig, put a strap under his body
and hitch him to a young sapIing tina
will jUst swing him from the grOun'
nicely. OF course he squeals and raise
a rumpus, when all the old hogs gathe
round to zee what is the matter, an,
then they shoot them at their leisure
| Last night l hung pig up I hurt it
| little, aud it squeRIed. The old hog
have turned out to night to see the fun
and I'll roast you" And so he did
pitching into their favorlte vice wit
relish and guStD.

THE New PANACEA.- Modern science
having demonstrated that alcohol is
" neither food nor physic," but, on the
contrary, a species of poison, the intro
duction of potent tonic which is en-
tirely free from it is certainly subject
for cOngratulstior. DR.. Walkers Vine
gar Bitters is a medicine which may be
fairly characterized as an unobjection-
able specific for many distressing and
dangerous diseases.
Temperance organizations, heretofore
in favor of permitting the sale of alco-
hol for medical purposes, are of opinion
that Vinegar Bitters possesses all the
efficacy as an invigorant that has ever
been even claimed for spirituous stimu-
lants, and on this account, as well as
because of the singular success which
has attended its use in dyspepsia, liver
complaint, disorders of the bowels, ner.
vous diseases, general debility, and all
maladies growing out of intemperance
they warmly recommend it as a restora
tive and alternative of surprising excel
lence.
