Alarming Increase of Lunacy in the King

The annual report Of the English Commits
sioncrs in Lunacy shows that there were on tile
lst of January, 1871, 6G,G36 "lunatics, idiots,
aud persons Of unsound mind Unregistered as
such-in England and Wales. There were also
found by inQuisition 252 lunatics WHO reside in

the balance, 5000, were paupcr patients; OF
these, 2G,0sS were males and 32 9Gl females It
will he seen that among the private :unatics the
males preronderate, and the females among the
pauper }unatics.

Breaking 1t Easily.

A miner whom we will call Hughes
fell down a winze in one of the Com
stock mines several years ago and was
killed. His companions gathered up his
remains, and, putting them in an express
wagon, started for his home. Another
miner, fine, good-hearted fellow, was
sent on ahead to bear the sad news to
the bereaved family. All the way along
he was discussing with himself as to how
he should tell the terrible story8o as not
to crush the unfortunate household 1;
but he reached the house before having
settled definitely upon his plan. Meet
ing Mrs. Hughes at the door he accosted
her IN the usual manner Of an acquaint-
ance, and then said:
g Where's George to-day, Mrs.
Hughes ?"
He's at work in. the mine, as usual,
thank you, sir, y replied the woman.
How is he feeling to-day?" was the
next question. The news-bearer was
becoming desperate. He was a brave
man who would have not feared cav
ing drift or a delayed blast, whose heart
was so tender that he did not know
how to tell a woman Of her husbands
death.
With some show of surprise Mrs,
Hughes answered the last question +:
About as well as he generally does, I
believe"
The man was desperate, and, not
knowing what to say, he blurted out !:
"Ill bet you ten dollars he's dead, and
here comes the body in wagon.
He swallowed big lump in his throat
and wiped piece Of porphyry out of
his LETT eye with his shirt-sleeve. After
ward IN talking over the matter with his
comrades he said it was the greatest trial
he had ever experienced, and that here
after when man was killed they might

Snbterranean Telegraph.

Almost every winter a discussion arises
in American cities with regard to the ex-
pedience and practicability Of placing
the local, and especially the municipal,
telegraph under ground, with the view Of
preventing a suspension of communica-
ton whatever be the state Of the weather.
Various objections have been advanced
against an underground system; but
these do not appear to have much weight
in Germany. Berlin is soon to be CON
nected with Hamburg by subterranean
telegraph, as the Interruptions caused
last spring by thunderstorm affecting
the wires carried upon poles have
proved to be very inconvenient, and
other cities of the empire are to be
similarly connected.

A. Thrilling Adventure.

With every year the number Of Sa-
cramentans, says the Union, who go
out on 'roughing it expeditions, hunt
ing, fishing, and otherwise enjoying
themselves, is on the increase. A party
Of five left the city yesterday for the
mountains, to be gone about a month,
and another party of four returned home
day before yesterday. The latter had
intended to stay out longer, but the
Indians in their vicinity began to grow
exceedingly saucy, and to make the de
mand for small things in tone which it
was thought indicated that they might,
if provoked, help themselves. Speaking
of the Indians, the party tell funny
story of their main camp. One hot day
one OF them went to a creek not far dis
tant to have bath, taking with him his
rifle. He had removed his garments
down to his red flannel underclothing on
the bank of the stream, when he heard
the brush cracking, and, thinking per
haps the noise was made by a deer OF
other large animal, he deployed himself
as a skirmisher and cautiously began in
vestigating. He had not long to wait,
for moment later he observed a figure
lodging from tree to tree, rifle in hand,
and evidently watching him. It flashed
through his mind that he was being
followed by an Indian bent on mischief,
and his heart rose in his throat so
that he could almost taste it as thoughts
of home forced themselves upon
him. He determined that he would
fight to the last, however, and, braced
by this determination, advanced
upon the enemy. The latter was EVIL
IDENTIFY not prepared for such tactics, for
he retreated faster and faster, and final
y threw down his gun and ran. The
Sacramentan, fearing that this was only
a piece Of strategy to lead him into an
ambush, returned to the creek, donned
his garments and hurried to camp.
There he found member Of the party
who had just come in from hunting, re-
lating to the other two members how he
also had experienced trouble with the
Indians, one of whom, he said, had fol-
lowed him for two or three miles, and he
had only escaped from him by striking
him over the head with his gun. This,
he went on to say, broke the stock in
two the barrel few into the chaparral,
and he did not deem it worth while to
wait and search for it, when the Indians
might attack the camp at any moment.
The man who had been to the creek be-
gan to feel a suspicion that two mem
bers Of that hunting party had been
making fools Of themselves, and he
quietly inquired What did he look
like 2 Look like! You've heard OF
them being called red devils; we'll, this
fellow was one Of them. He was stripped
right to the skin, was bareheaded, and
had painted himself just as red as blood.
You needn't laugh !; 'twasn't anything to
laugh at. It was almost too cruel to
say anything about the red flannel un-
derclothes and the throwing Of the gun
away, but it had to be told. p

TWO GREAT POETS,
Lengfel1ow and Lowell-How They Write
Their Poems

Their Poems.
The poet Longfellow's daily life is
something like this, says the Boston
Herald. /" He rises early, takes COM
paratiyely light breakfast, and, if the
day is not rainy, sets out for walk,
which takes up an hour or two, accord
ing to his inclination. His gait is firm
and hearty, and as he walks he holds
himself perfectly upright He does not
ramble two mornings III the same direc-
ton, but varies his route daily. Every
day or two he calls on his printers, at the
University Press, and receives or returns
proofs of his works, if he has anything
in type, which is mostly the case. He
studies the matter carefully after it is
in print. Little, if any, of his poetry, as
published, is written on the spur of the
moment. The Divine Tragedy is
said to have been rewritten after it was
nearly all in type. During late years
he has been In the habit of publishing
his poems in the magazines, and, after
having obtained a sufficient number,
adding a few new ones to them, and is
suing them in book-form. He brings
his copy to the office Of the Universe
ty Press, which is only half mile or so
from his own residence, written in lead
pencil, in small back-hand, very much
ike the average newspaper mans style
of handwriting, clear, and mostly free
from interlineations and erasures. His
magazine poems are always revised and
corrected, or at least altered more or
less, before their publication in book
form, so that the reader rarely encoun-
ters one in exactly the same shape as in
the periodical.
Mr.. James Russell Lowell when writ
ing discards the table, but, seating him
self midway between it and the fire.
place in broad easy-chair, he employs
for the purposes of a desk a stiff piece
Of pasteboard, resting it conveniently
upon his knee. His essay or poem is al
ways mapped out clearly in his head
before he reduces any Of it to writing
He puts it together, so to speak, joint
by joint, until he has the skeleton COM
pletely articulated, and then he fills it
out. His handwriting is characteristic,
and his copy is unpopular with
printers because of the changes, the in
terlineations and erasures he constantly
makes, although the handwriting itself
is fair and uniform. He goes through
his proofs after the manner of clergy
man supervising his sons college efforts,
and makes many and often general cor
rochons. The publishers used to send
him proofs of his matter after the plates
were cast, but he made such havoc with
his revises that they were forced to dis
continue such improbable conclusion
jumping. His famous and widely-read
Biglow Papers" have been very much
altered and corrected since their original
publication. He is a hard reader, and
with him this means % profound book
student, for he rarely reads books purely
for amusement or superficial instruction.
His classical knowledge surpasses that
of any man around Boston, not except
ing Longfellow, and his reading Of Dan
team literature has given him an &C
quaintance with it that is believed by
many to exceed Mr. Longfellow's.
