Psychological puzzle.

Much of what seems inexplicable
in the mental condition Of men and
women when its causes are sopght
in their immediate surroundings or
conscious cerebration, is cyplainable
by the doctrine of heredlty, and as
this is generally but little under
stood the wide realm Of supersti-
ton is constantly open and he who
will may wander in it. DR.. George
NJ. Beard, following in the old track
pointed out by Pinel when he re-
marked the close connection be-
tween ecstasy, prophecy, passion
ate poetry and hystericism," has
recently given an explanation, more
or less satisfactory, Of what is
known as trance, and by a dozen
other names rejecting the view
taken of it by different observers.
DR.. Beard believes that trance is ga
morbid state, consisting in a con-
centration of the cerebral force in
some limited region of he brain,
the activity of other portions being
meanwhile suspended However
vague and indefinite this "explana-
ton may be by including too much,
it is in the line of modern physi-
illogical psychology as taught by
Balm, Maudsley, and other special
lists and generaIizers. Through the
past and its influence on our pro-
genitorS all persons are liable to
trance, but there is in certain indi-
viduals a certain predispostion to
it, such as an inherited or acquired
nervous system generally sensitive
and impfesslonable, an excess Of
emotion and imagination, or defect
Of reasoning power. The shop.
girl, the nun and Yisionaries gen,
orally are predisposed to it, apc
from this reasoning it is seer
that DR., Beard finds the basis ol
belief in such strange facts as arl

come to light in the state 0

Young Wade's self-control and
composure during the catastrophe
Of this play reminds me, by ,on-
trast, of a most ludicrous story my
father used to tell of some unror-
tunatc authoress, who, in an evil
hour for herself and some friendly
provincial manager, persuaded him
to bring out an original drama oil
hers.
The audience (not II very dis,
eliminating or numerous one) were
sufficiently appreciatiye to object
extremely to the play and large
enough to make their objections
noisily apparent.
The manager, in his own distress
not unmindful of his poor frienC
the authoress, sought her out tx
console her, and found her seated
at the side-scene with a glass o
stiff brandy and water that somt
commiserating friend had admins
tered to her for her support, rock
ing herself piteously to and fro
and, with tears streaming down he
cheeks, uttcring between sobs ant
sips, in utter establishment, he
peccayi (all, however, addressed t
herself), that would have made
dragoon shake in his shoes. Th
original form of which mea culp
seized the worthy manager witt
such an irresistibly ludicrous eftec
that he left the poor, guilty au
thoress without being able to ad
dress a syllable to her, lest he shoul,
explode in peals OF laughter insteal
of decent words of coincidence.

HORRIBLE CRUELTY.

A Msn Compelled 10 Remain stand
ing for Five Days and Five nights.
Toronto telegraph
John 0'Shaughnessy was a con-
yict Of about rs years Of age, who
hailed from Kingston. On the
27th of April, 1875, he was con-
fined in the clark cell" for some
trivial act of insubordination, forced
from him by the exasperating Stead
man, who tantalized the fellow into
making some offensive retort of the
taunts Of the deputy For trilling
offense this unfortunate man was
chained up in a standing posture
for five days and five nights, his
feet and hands painfully shackeld
to rings in the wall, only to be
relieved for short intervals to enable
him to partake of the meager al
lowance of bread and water allotted
to him three times in each "a hours.
His toes had been rendered power
less by frost before bis entrance into
| the prison, and the result Of this
was that his tortue was rendered
more intense, owing to the fact that
he had, for the greater part of the
time, 10 support himself by his
wrists. as encircled in the cruel
rings in the wall.
All the power was gone from his
toes, and, as he had to stand on
them in order to relieve the tortur-
ing strain on his wrists, it may be
imagined what crucial anguish the
poor victim endured during these
one hundred and twenty hours oI
chafng night and day. A more
CALLING or iretting process of rack,
. ing torture it is hardly possible to
imagine. The writings of the
pitiful convict, as he yainly en-
deavored to molliIy his anguish by
shifting about as well as his man
acles would permit, have been de
scribod as heartrending. Each new
: ! change Of position only brought Q
keener agony, and there was al
indescribable depth of suffering
it expressed in his oft-repeated expires
1t sion, as the hours dragged thei
. slow length along, "Thank God
there's another hour gone" Whel
= finally he was released from hi
! torture, his wrists and ankles wer
terribly swollen, and he was who'll,
