self-cOntrol. A troublesome lunatic is told that
unless he keeps quiet he shall have no dinner,
or be put into jacket, or forbidden to attend
the next dance or concert, and Immediately
he begins to restrain his limbs or his voice.
Such a method is used successfully with those
who are so decidedly mad as to be locked up;
but if they were only partially deranged with
mind enough left to be at large, would not
the same rule hold7 We will suppose, for
instance, a man of homicidal propenslueS
winch have thus far exhibited themselves IN
no overt acts. 1t must be admitted that as 10
these he is not precisely sane; but memory ana
Judgment and most of the other faculties may
sufficiently remain, and he is still quite in
condition to be deferred from committing
feonious violence by a dread of the conse-
Guences. If he knows or suspects that after
the mortal deed his mental Obliquity may be
pleadcd i'm its defense, he will go on; but II
he is sure that he will be hung for killing, at
least he is less likely to go on. We nave uSeu
for illustration the extreme penalty; but sup
pose this mad-mindcd person only knows
that for homicide he will certainly be
locked up for life, in quarters not
very comfortable. Il it to be supposed tlat
this knowledge will have no restraining iniitl-
ence over HIM? And if not, is it not clearly
the duty of the administrators OF justice, where
a prisoner is found not guilty by reason OF
insanity, upon full investigation OF the ma
ture of the alteration, to pass such order as
will imply that the prisoner was either suIl-
ciently guilty to be punished at least by imprson
ment, or else will secure society by perpetual
custody of his person ? This is the way to
deal with the misclrievous and absurd theory
of Temporary Insanity, which has become the
opprobrium of our tribunals. Nobody who
sets up that he was so crazed should ever be
trusted at large again and when Temporary
Insanity means Imprisonment for Life we are
very sure that cases of that malady will be-
come less frequent.

4 HIGHTONED "BANQUET,

They had n rather remarkable dem0nstra-
ton the other night at St. Paul. Mnn. The
newspapers of that city are quite lively with
accounts of it, 1t was of social, and from
some illusions in the speeches, should
Judge a convivial character, and was accom-
panied by "banquct," the bill of fare for
which is printed in full in the local press and
described as a "v0luminous menu" as indeed
it was, covering wide range OF Wet
uals. from the domestic Goose" to
"Tomato Catsup," and offering among other
temptations in mixed tongue, fillets OF
" Beef SautG aux Champignons" and " Salad
"de Pomme dc Terre." The occasion itself is
described in the head lines of the reports as
a Union of Hearts and Claspng of Hands
"between st. Paul and Minneapolis. One in
L" Interest Ono in Hope, One in Destiny !"
further, as an "OvatiOn rendered to Gov.
"Pilsbury," at which "Thc Representative
" Men of the Twin Cities exchange greetings y
and there is "Cordial Reciprocity of Feeling
" between the Founders OF the Future Great
Metropolis :" and as "Sumptuous Banquet
q at the Metropolitan Hotel" Passing from
the stately and somewhat tropical head
lines to the calmer and more prcsaic
"ovationr rendered by the Chamber of Com
mercc of St. Paul to Gov. Pillsbury and the
Board of Trade of Minneapolis in token of
reconciliation and friendship, there having
been heretofore "A sort of rivalry between the
two cities. An hour having been spent " in
going through the voluminOus menu" the
remainder of the evening was devoted TO what
is called mental Relaxation" This consisted
of twenty regular toasts and as many re-
sponfes, followed by great number of vol
unteer sentiments and speeches
CHANGING over the report Of these speeches
one cannot help being struck with pre-
vailing tone in favor of official integrity.
There were Governors and ex-Governors, Sen
ators. Congressman, members of the Legisla-
ture, Mayors, Aldermen. Councilmcn, and

On the whole the Legislature has organ
lied well. The Senate had n good Lieu
tenant-G Governor, and has been wise enough
to choose good temporary President. The
House gains again Speaker of expert
cnce and common sense, and the con
trast in both respects with last year will be
refreshing. Speaker Hustled will have need Of
all his tact to organize the Committees so as
TO prevent his party from serving itself too
much to render good service to the State. On
the other hand, he will be in equal
danger from the jobbers, who nearly always
contrive in the cast of committees to secure
for themselves the best stands for business.
No man has so large q Personal interest III
guarding against both dangers as Mr.. Hustled
himself His last two years of service
at Albany have greatly advanced him in pop
ular esteem, and if he can pilot his party
through the dangers of this session he will
have made good his standing as one of It's
most efficient leaders, and probably secured
larger fields for work IN the future.

The second intercollegiate literary contest
was a great advance upon the first. That con-
sisted solely of contests in oratory and essays;
this year, in addition to these, there were also
contests in Greek and mathematics. The
examinations were thorough and were con-
Quoted by men of the highest attainment5
in each branch of learning. The orator
zeal contests embraced nearly double as
many colleges as last year, and exhibited bet
ter work. The Association were enabled to
offer the prizes in Greek through the renewed
munifcence Of Mrs. Astor, and it must be
a peculiar pleasure to this lady that her first
prize was carried off, after fair compe-
tition with chosen representatives of eight col
leges, by one of her own sex. The other prizes
were made up from the generous contributions OF
Mrs John Taylor Johnston and a few other
friends of the Association, and from the funds
raised by the students themselves. There
seems to be no further doubt as to the widen
ing interest in tho Association and its estab-
lishment upon permanent basis.

Gov. Hartranft's message contrasts in a
striking array of figures the reduction OF the
debt of Pennsylvania and the immense increase
of the debts of her cities. Politicians may re-
gard it as somewhat ungrateful that he ex-
poses so broadly the corrupt performances of
the Rings that control Pittsburgh and Phila-
delphia; but if Gov. Hartranft really means
reform in that quarter, and will put his
shoulders to the wheel, the suffering citizens
will welcome their new ally. The message is
very outspoken on the subject of repressing
riot and lawlessness in the mining districts,
and makes among other suggestions the ex-
cellent one that court of arbitration be ap-
pointed to settle disputes between workmen
and employers.

Spain it now appears learned secretly the

tried to counteract its influence by represent

with the Austrian Government, which is dis

A trace of one Of Thomassen's diabolical plots
to blow up steamers is believed to have been
found on the Celtic tho theory being that
box brought here by that vessel only failed OF
being filed with dynamite and clockwork, in
stead of bags of shot, because "W. K. Thomas"
who shipped it, could not insure it as $4,000
in specie. Perhaps the most remarkable cir
cumstance in this whole affair is the view taken
by German lawyers, that if Thomassen had
survived his attempt at suicide he could only
have been lightly punished under existing laws,
though he caused the death of 12S persons.

Most of the important points are at last de-
cided concerning the College Regatta. BY
Harvard's conclusion to JON in it this year but
not hereafter, Yale is left alone at present in
her secession. From none of the English col
leges have definite acceptances of the invita-
ton yet been received, and Trinity declines.
Saratoga was selected as the place by large
majority of the Rowing Association; and con-
Hdering the known advantages to be had
there, the choice must be considered wise.

In this "year of iamboree" our

and it is to be hoped that yankee

Continental troops 100 years ago,
will not he crowded out by "Hail
ColumI ia," the presidents March, y"
the "St Spangled Banner" "Ameri-
ca" or John Browns Body"-each
glorious tune, but without right of
precedence over Yankee Doodle" p"
There is also high authority for as
serting that "Yankee Doodle is our
National air, which John Quincy
Adams used to relate when he was
serving hereas Representative, some
what IN these words:
After the Ministers Plenipotentiary
of Great Britain and the United
States had nearly concluded their
pacific labors at Client, the burghers
of that quaint old Dutch city de-
termined to give an entertainment in
their honor, and desired to have the
National airs OF the two treatymak-
ing powers performed rs part of the
programme. So the musical director
was directed to call upon the Ameri-
can Ministers AID obtain the music
Of the National mir of the United
States. No one knew exactly what
to give, and consultation ensued. at
which Bayard and Gallatin favored
"Hail Columbia" while Clay, Rus
sell, and Adams, were decidedly in
favor of yankee Doodle" The
musical director was called in and in
formed of the decision. He then
asked if any of the gentlemen had
the music, and receiving Il negative
reply, suggested that perhaps one of
them could sing or whistle the air.
II can't" said Mr.. Clay, 81 never
whistled or sung tune in my life
perhaps Mr.. Bayard can?" 'Nei-
ther can l." replied Mr.. Bayard,
"perhaps Mr.. Russell canT' Mr..
Russell, MIR. Gallatin and Mr..
Adams IN turn confessed their lack
of musical ability. 81 have it" ex-
claimed Mr.. Clay, and ringing the
bell he summoned his colored body
servant. 'John," said Mr.. Clay,
"whistle Yankee Doodle for this
gentleman" John did so, the chief
musician noted down the air, and at
the entertainment the Client Burgh
ers' Band played the National air OF
the United States with variation, in
grand style.

An Old Time Belle.

Imagine what sensation a lady
would create in these times should
she make her appearance dressed in
the following costume, description
of which is taken from "Malcom' S
Anecdotes" A black silk peticOat,
with red and white calico border;
cherry -colored stays, trimmed with
blue and silver: red and dove col
ored gown, fowered with large trees;
yellow satin apron. elaborately
trimmed; a muslin head dress with
lace ruftles; a black silk scarf and a
spotted silk hood. "Such was the
costume of lady in 170S." Further
on we read of ladies' head dresses
costing from one to two hundred DOL,
lars. A great deal has been sald
about the extravaganza of women OIL
the present day; but the modern
belle would stand aghast should she
he asked to pay two hundred dollars
for a bonnet; and it is doubtful
whether the expensive head gear re
ferred to was any more becoming to
the wearer than the jaunty and styl-
ish hats worn now by the ''girl OF the
period"

A Foggy Night at Paris.
Paris Correspondence Philadelphia
Tele0raDh

Anecdotes and incidents of the fog
gy night OF last week, continue to he
cited, some of which are funny
enough to hear, though they must
have been very uncomfortable to ex-
perience. One gentleman drove
round and round the Column OF
July, on the Place de la Bastille, try
ing to find the Rue st. Antoine, but
in vain. At last the coachman de-
scried two lamps glimmsring feehly
in the distance, whereupon he cried
joyfully, 81 have it-there is the en-
trance to the street, whipped up his
horse, and drove bang into drug
gist's shop window. One poor cab
man, becoming bewildered on the
quay and not daring to turn either to
the right or left for fear of driving
into the river, sat all night motion
less on his box, in the cold, grey
mist. The most unpleasant adven-
ture of which l have heard was that
of party of ladies' who were return
ing home from the theatre. The
cabman got lost, and insisted on de
posting the party in the middle of
the street and permitting them to
find their way home as best they
might. Remonstrance and entreat-
les were in vain, and but for the aid
of friendly passer by the unlucky
theatre goers would have had but
hard time of it. Fortunately this
friend in need made the cabman hear
reason and guided him to his destina-
ton, which was, as it happened, only
half block off. The chill, thick at
mosphere was not only binding and
perplexing, but was extremely try
ing to weak lungs. One well known
Partisan celebrity, the Marquis de st.
George, author of the lihretti of many
of the operas of Auber and of Ila-
benze, sach as 1.-The Crown Dia-
monds," The AmbasSadress,' - The
Val IL Andorre," &c, took, from its
effects, pleurisy that cost him his
life. He died, yesterday, at his hotel
on the Rue de Trevise. He was
seventy-six y years of age.

strong points was terribly broken by
a bawling exclamation from q halt

sung out:-"Oh, you're dema-

audience and give his response tne
more effect, merely answered with
one of his own unapproachaDie
