insanity in Man and women.

We believe that the records of in
situations for the insane, when taken
in the aggregate, will show that
there is more insanity in man than
IN woman that the insanity of men
is generally Of shorter duration
more of them die, or are cured
than that Of women, whose insanity
is more apt to settle down into
molancholia and imbecility. Thus
while men pass through institutions
for the insane, either to the grave, or
back into society again, woman
accumulate in them. aud records, if
not carefully studied, tend to give
the impression that there is more
insanity in the female than in the
male sex, while, in reality, the
contrary is the fact.-MedicaI and

{ From the Barbados Globe.)

The pr sent month (Nov.) has been fruitful Of
political and other matters of interest. Fore
most amongst the former must be mentioned
the arrival of our new Governor in-Chief, Mr..
POPE HENNEsSY, an account of whose arrival
and reception has appeared in former impress
sions. From the moment of his reaching our
shores every act Of the Governor has been
calculated TO foster a feeling Of the livellest
satisfaction and confidence in his judgment and
his desire to respect the constitutional msti-
tutions of the country, and to Obliterate as far
as possible, the memory of the late assault
which has been made on our conservative
traditions and usages.. 80.
Vhe Legislature, stimulated by the unani-
nous approval of the country, has set to work
seemingly in good earnest. On the 18th inst.
(November) the members of the late House
assembled at the Public Buildings to receive q
numerously signed Requisition from the electors
and others, expressive of the approval of the
country, and requiring the same members to
present themselves for reelection. MIR. PARIS
having Withdrawn from the contest in St.
Thomas, the general election passed off without
a single interruption to the general harmony.
Mr.. MARSH is the only new member of the
present Assembly. The Governors Speech
was read by the Speaker Mr.. GRANT, amid the
prolonged applause of the Members, and the
House at once set to work to deal with the
long order paper that lies before it ......
The subcommittee Of the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals has been
hard at work framing definite rules and pre-
pairing recommendation for embodiment in the
proposed Legislative ACT At a recent meet
ing favourable financial reports were presented
and the Society encouraged by the prospects
before it from a financial point of view. In all
these fields of labour Bishop hutchinson is an
earnest aud Jealous worker. Yesterday even.

ofd virginian Hospitality.

Z remember a case in which one of
my own neighbors, a very wealthy
gentleman, whose house was always
open and always full of guests, dy-
inc, left each Of his children a plan
tation. To the eldest son, however,
he gave the home estate, worth three
or four.ti times as much as any of the
other plantations. and with 1.-THE gave
the young man also a large sum Of
money. But he charged him with
the duty of keeping open house there
at all times, and directed that the
household affairs should be conduct
ed always precisely as they had been
during his own lifetime; aud the
charge well-nigh outweighed the i'm
,herftance. The new master of the
place lived in Richmond, where be
was engaged in manufacturing, and
after the death Of the father the old
house stood tenantless, but open as
before. Its troops of softly shod
servants swept and busted and pol
ished as BEFORE breakfast, sdinner
and supper were laidseati every day
at the accustomed shours, under the
old ltntleT's supervision y anda as tie
Rtahds grew cold his silent s1bort1il
mates waited; trays in hand, at the
back Of the empty chairs, during the
full time appointed for each meal /
have stopped there for dinner, tea,
or to spend the night many, a time,
in company with one of the younger
sons, who lived elsewhere. or with
some relation of the family. or alones
as the case might be, and have
met others there. But our coming
or not was matter of indifference.
Guests knew themselves welcome,
but whether guests came or not the
household affairs suffered no change.
Fhezdestrpction of the house by fire
finally lifted this burden from the
owners shoulders. as the will did
not require him TO rebuild But while
it stood its masters large Inherit
ance was of very small worth TO him.

Fertilizers for Wheat.
,~as-.-ur rf.a-,o,o,-

Now that wheat is beginning to
show it's need of a vigorous fall
growth, we will say q few words to
our farming friends about the ne
cessity Of fertilizers. "A great de.
sideratum with winter wheat is to
get a good, strong fall. "set''' that
will carry il. safely through the win
ter freezes to which it is to be sub
jected in January and February. A
plant of wheat requires q certain
amount Of warmth in order to give
its Juices a free circulation through
out its fibres its vital forces supply
this heat. Now if the vital forces
of the plant are weak or defective,
of course the plant suffers from cold,
aud becomes sickly or dies, if these
forces are strong the plant thrives.
Experience in England where fer
tilizers have been tried in every way
and at all seasons, prove that wheat,
grasses, rye, and all fall-sowh cerials
are greatly benefited by a broadcast
application of suitable manures in
the fall season just as the plants get
"a good growing start and begin to
cover the groand. E@ a@
A most excellent top-dressing for
wheat in the fall is a compost made
of eighty pounds Of land plaster
(gypsum). FIVE bushels Of ashes. and
a half bushel of salt well mixed and
sown broadcast over the wheat land
between the 1st and 18th of Novem-
Der. This will cause the plants to
feed heavily both from 4 lie soil and
the atmosphere. and to so improve
their vital energy as to pass harms
less thFoue the coldestFBeather OF
this climate In the early spring
this same COMPOST, or even land
plaster alone, will greatly improve
the yield Of the crop, IL e. = !. 1.'s'1'-'.'
Gypsum or land plaster is pro.
.duced in any desirable quantities at
several points in the United States ;
two of the most noted places of its
production is near Wytheville, Va,
and Grand Rapids. Michigan, where
it is furnished either i'm sacks or bar.
rels at 81 per ton of 1000 pounds on
the cars. 1t usually costs by the
carload in this city about So to SO
per ton. Well puIverized stable ma
nUre is also a good wheat fertilizer.
but this is greatly improved by a
similar mixture with gypsum.
Vast quantities of potash are now
being taken from endles deposits in
portions of Germany at a very small
cost, and brought to the United
states, this supplies well the place
of ashes In the mixtures spoken of,
and will, nogdoubt, be oheapergeYen
than ashes after the trade is thor,
oughly opened.
We hope to see the immense. aka.
line deposits Of the American Desert
become utilized as food for our Ger.
calls, and also to neutralize the acid
nature of a large portion of our val
Fey lands, but as yet they have not
been tested in this manner, although
the immense crops of wheat raised
on the alkaline lands in Colorado
and Utah when duly irrigated, show
that in these deposits lie the very
elements needed to restore the worn
or exhausted lands of all the older
States of the nation.
80 We hope the farmers will expert
ment with fertilizers on their wheat
crops this fall and report the results
to their brethren of tile country
through the agricultural press.
