An extensive prairie fire swept over a
large portion of this county to-day. The
fire came from the north, and was driven
with unusual rapidly by the strong wind
which prevailed. A good dwelling house

Z. Carpenter and occupied by a man named
Amos Harris, was consumed with all its
contents. The fi.e came upon them so I'M

Over Work Breeds Insanity.
From the New York SUM-


DR.. Ordronaux, state commissioner in
lunacy, in his conference with the board of
appOrIionment about the B!aokwelPs island
asylum was asked why there was a rapid
increase of insanity in the city. He re-
piled:
IL is greatly due to the aggregation OF people
in metropolitan centers, where business rival
Ties very intense. In those centerS IL is
generation or twols finished, and the chill
dren of unhealthy parents come into the world
pIedisposed TO insanity. We seem 10 be repro
ducing in this respect the state OF things
which existed in Nlneyeh and Babylon.
ais dreadful picture that DR.. Ordronaux
draws. Is the great mental activity required
by the rushing, driving business OF the city
really leading to a generation of lunatics?
We have at hand this pertinent passage from
q sermon by Prof Swing of Chicago:
a grain dealer found a few years ago that
his mind was being transformed into a sense
OF wheat. As the eye is sense OF light, and
the ear of sound, and the tongue of taste, so he
had displaced these by a new senseIa sense of
wheat. He rose early 10 learn the latest quo
tatons east, he sat up late at night TO figure at
the margin on the last or next million bushels,
and OF wheat he dreamed, and amid IL he ate
and attempted to think or talk. All else began
to disappear from the world: literature, re-
ligion, friendship, amusemeniS, were all flying
out of the window, while wheat was coming in
at the door.
The grain dealer. Professor Swing says
saved himself from insanity by limiting his
ing his mind during the rest of his waking
time with thoughts OF something else than
grain. The remedy is good, but difficult to
be applied. 1t is easy enough for a manual
laborer to forget his work when he is
through with il for the day, but mercantile
and professional men find it harder. The
mind is less comfortable than the body, for
it refuses to rest when it is weariest; yet
much may be done by effort at mental
discipline in this direction, as anybody can
prove by thorough trial.
After leaving your store or Office, avoid
thinking of your business until you return
to il on the morrow. Do not take home the
distracted manner that shows you to be
working hard in the time that belongs to
rest. Do not sit in places of amusement
looking Vacantly at the performance, but
neither seeing nor hearingit. II is better to
sleep in your pew at church than to be
seemingly listening to the sermon, while
your mind is exclusively occupied with
plans for Monday. Indeed sleep is about
the best test of your mental health, unless
you have softening of the brain. II you can
sleep dreamlessly eight hours every night,
you are in no immediate danger of going
insane

will enunciate the right doctrine, and victory
will be assured. Compare the condition
of the democratic party of Indiana
with the radical party. While democra-
cy is bold and united, radcalism
is shrinking and divided. Conscious of its
manifold iniquities, having no ambition but
to hold Office for the swag to be secured,
swapping, snarling. fighting and growing,
the radical party is discordant, belIigerent,
without cohesion or concord-weak, pue-
rile, false to every honest principle, ready
to sell out to bondholders and money
sharks. The work of disintegration Is
soing forward rapidly. The people
see these things, and are studying
them carefully. The radical party IN Indi-
ana is without leaders, principle, policy, in
tegrity or anything else that can by any pos.
sibility commend it to favorable consider
alton of honest men. With the death of
Morton the whole combination commenced
going to pieces. and the scenes that trans
pired at the pow-wow Thursday evening
evidences the fact that the organization is
broken, and is no longer entitled to consid-

malaga grapes. bananas and oranges, when
they were in need Of bread, meat and cloth

matter said: "Oh! if they had only given us
something substantial to eat" The high

amount TO have furnished potatoes and meal
enough for several days, and would have
