O.tracism OF Colored Democrats.

The ostracism Of the co.ored Democrat
bv his colVred brethren OF the Republican
creed is something even noie severe than
that which the white Republican has to
suffer. He is banished from the Church,
and runs the risk OF losing his !lto the
first time he gets within easy reach OF s
opponents cudgels. He can not fly 10
the society of the white Democrat, Tor he
can never be received there under any
circumstances, and, unless he has COM
psnions enough Of his own way OF think
lug to make community, he becom a
p ,r.ah OF society, aud leads wretched
existence. On etection day this kind OF
mans received protection equally with
the colored Republican, and, as corse-
ouence, the Democrats polled the full
colored vote, so that, after all, the white
Democrt, were skrewd enough to turn
the presence of the soldiers into an ad-
vantage and enlarge the Democratic
vote, notwithstanding the general sup
position that the effect would be quite the
reverse. The officers speak impsrtlsIly
of what they have seen. 10 their credit
be 1t said, they appear to have no Partl-
san feeling whatever.

Chicago Tribune.l
A gentleman residing on Aberdeen
street was, until Friday last, inclined to
favor female suffrage. His wife had pru-
IDENTIFY delayed moving till after the LIST,
so as to t Ike advantage OF the fall Of
house-rent'. The bouse to which they
moved had a tremendously steep fight
of stairs, and an oil.clothed hall. The
wife had the stairs scrubbed down, and
left the SO p on the top step. Her hus-
sand was up st .irs, with a basket full Of
clothes pins in one hand aud a clock un-
der the other arm, when his wife, who
was down stairs, W q mouse, and shak-
ing her skirts madly, bounded up on the
table and let off a series Of shrill shrieks,
beginning on high ZZZ above the clef.
Her husband, thinking the house was on
fire at the very lie -st, started to run to
her rescue, and, stepping on the piece Of
soap that she had so thoughtfully Left on
stairs, sat down vehemently at the top Of
the fight, and slid down with the speed

his wife, who turned a back 20 nersauli

which she was so tightly wcdged that she

Providence Journal.l
A lovely costume was worn at
the races by a Partisan leader of
the fashions. 1t consisted Of a
wistaria-c olored silk dress made
with a high-necked plain waist
without a basque. Over this was
worn a polonaise of transparent
tissue of a soft creamy shade, made
open to the belt over a plain cor
sage. The bonnet was of Italian
straw, with a crown of creamy silk,
and trimmed with clusters of wis
taria blossoms. 1t would be diff
cult to imagine a costume combin-
ing more attractive simplicity, quiet
elegance and harmonious adapta-
ton of color than the one here
described. We trust that many
fair young blondes will adopt the
Partisan toilet as a model, for what
can be more irresistible than the
charm Of golden tresses and a fair
complexion heightened by a costume
composed of the delicate amethys-
tine hue Of wistaria blossoms, COM
bined with the creamy tint so uni
yersally becoming, and just now in
such favor with those who rule the
fashion world.

The nauses of Inranilr.

The Sanitarium for June has the
interesting article on the
subject of insanity and its causes:
DR.. Clouston, Physician Superin-
tendent of the Royal Edinburgh
Asylum, in his annual report, says:
" CHANGING over the summary Of
assigned causes, it is at once seen
that intemperance stands out as by
far the most frequent. 1t alone
caused as Of the 260, or about 20
per cent. in which the cause was
known; and along with other allied
excuses for which the patients had
been themselves responsible, it ac-
counts for ", or 2S per cent. of
the cases. Much is properly said
about the prevention of diseases
nowadays. Most unquestionably
the sum total of the mental dis
eases in our city might have been
lessened by that amount if the
laws of nature had been
better obeyed. Fifty Of the
cases thus resulting from drinking
and excuses being paupers, each
costing 827 a year to the public
rates, over 91300 will have been
paid for one years production of
lunacY from very preventable
causes, and, of course, this takes
mo- account of the cost of the old
incurable cases already in the
asylum from the same cause. / am
quite sure that intemperance was
the remote cause Of the disease in
more of the cases; but, even allow
ing for these, we cannot put this
down as accounting in any way for
more than one in four of all cases
of insanity. In assigning intem-
perance as the cause Of insanity in
a number of cases, two things must
not be forgotten. The first is, THAI
the taking of stimulants may not
be o cause at all, but merely a
symptom of the brain disorder;
and, as a matter of fact, it is often
one of the early symptoms in many
cases. The second thing to be kept
in mind is, that there are many cases
in which it is the real cause of
the mental disorder; but the
mental balance had always been
so unstable, and the brain working
so easily overset, that a very little
alcohol indeed will bring on an at
tack of insanity in the persons, just
as in those same people a fright or
a little over-excitement will upset
their sanity. This is the class Of
) persons who, in my experience, get
upset by religious reyivals. The
resetting and recuperating power
that is really an essential part of {

The great aquarium, which was
opened at Brighton, England, three
years ago, is a low edifce, us feet
long by 100 wide, of Italian archi-
lecture, and cost, with its ground,
in gold. The revenue
from admissions and annual sub
scriptions for 1875 9 mounted to
more than 100000 in gold. The
next most popular aquarium in
England is the one at the Crystal
Palace, and another large one is
nearly finished adjoining the Par
lament buildings, on the banks of
the Thames, in Westminster. Three
acres of ground have been pur-
chased, at a cost Of $500, 900, and
the building will cost $4,000. 1t
will include concert hall and dread
ing rooms, besides the aquarial de-
partment. Manchester has an
aquarial building, $50 feet in leng5h
and ~ feet in width, which CON
tains s~ixty-eight tanks, including
the deep-sea, tidal and fresh water.
Here and at the Crystal Palace the
sea water is not constantly renewed
as at Brighton, but kept pure by
circulation, and only as much dis
TILED water is added as is lost by
evaporation. Indeed, the water in
both these aquariums is said to be
far cleaner and the fish to be decid-
eddy healthier than at Brighton.
