Attempted Murder OF an Italian
Oflicinl.

LONDON, March ga private letter
dated Tunis, March IA, says: We had 4
great excitement here yesterday In con:
sequence Of an attempted murder Of
Judge Puliga, OF the Italian Consulate, and
the killing Of the would be assassin by the
Judges dragoman. The body was brought.
followed by mob, to the Italian Consult
ate, and the turmoil was so great that the
troops were called out to guard the ap-
proaches to the Italian and American
Consulates. They had great difficulty in
keeping the mob back for several hours
with fixed bayonets leveled at
them. It was feared that there might
be renewal OF the fanatical excitement
which spread such alarm in Tunis some
years ago. Guigina Puliga is Italian
Consular Judge at Tunis. It is ascer::
tained from gentleman well informed
in Tunisian affairs that for some time
there have been unpleasant relations be-
tween the Italian Consulate and the Tu-
nisian authorities. Some months ago
the Consul neglected TO pay an important
ceremonious visit to the Bey. The Pal
ace authorities felt the affront keenly,
but took no official action. tits probable
that on the 18th Judge Puliga was walk
ing or driving in the city, attended by
dragoman, when the attack was made.

The Causes ot.lusanity.

DR.. Glouston, Physician Superintend'
cnt Of the Royal Edinburg Asylum, in
his annual report, says: "Glancing over
the summary Of assigned causes, it is at
once seen that intempcrance stands out as
by far the most frequent. 1t alone caused
4S OF the 2G0, or about 20 per cent in
which the cause was known; and along
with other allied cxcesscs for which the
patients had been themselves responsible,
Il accounts 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 diseases in our city might

eases; but, even allowing 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 rs the cause OF insanity in n
number OF cases, two things must not he
forgotten. The first is, that the taking
Of stimulants may not be cause at all,
but merely symptom OF the brain dis
order; and, as 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 80 unstable, and the brain
working so easily overset, that very
little alcohol indeed will bring en- an at
tack Of insanity in the persons, just as in
those same people fright or little
over.cxcitement will upset their sanity.
This is the class OF persons who, in my
experience, get upset by religious revi'
