The Duke OF Wellington.

He understood very little, if anything,
Of the questions Of state policy beyond
the Immediate field of his own personal
RESPONSE bilities and duties. Of political
economy he was supremely ignorant.
yet his strong common sense enabled
him at last to recognize some of it's
fundamental truths. His speeches on
economical subjects TEEN with puerili-
ties and absurdities, without ingenuity
in conception or in expression. Of the
ends and objects Of government he had
formed no philosophical estimate, nor
dreamed that authority had any other
duty or function than to cause itself to
be respected and obeyed. The people
are althogether cipher in his eyes, ex-
cept as grouped round the sovereignty.
ALI his sympathies were with rulers.
whatever was til echaracter of their rule.
and he cared nothing for subjects, what
ever might be the nature of the subiec-
ton. But, when dangers MANAGED the
ruling few from the action of the sery-
ing many" he had the sagacity to dis
Germ that those dangers justified and
demanded concessions. SIR John BoaO-
ring.

600 he had formerly made in the timber
business, and she did not think there
would be anything left for the mainte-
nance of the family. About three weeks
ago he went to Boston and entered into
contracts for pianos and other manufact-
ured articles to the extent of more
than 800, 1000. His friends went on to
Boston, cancelled his contracts. paid
his hotel bill and brought him home.
1t appeared that Mr.. Grants monomania
is OF long standing, and the President
at one time consulted a distinguished
physician to have him ascertain and re-
port on his brothers mental condition.
1t was not thought necessary at that
time to place him under restraint DR..
Morton sad the patients mind had been
some time affected, but the family had
hesitated to send him to the asylum.
and had tried every means to keep him
at home. DR.. Morton defines the dis
ease as a monomania for commercial op-
eratlons, but ventures no opinion as to
his ultimate recovery.-New York Ir56-

OrviIle Grants Insanity.

Plains, this morning. Mrs. Grant,
mother of Orville and the ex-President,
was found at the elegant residence Of
the Corbins, and spoke frankly of her
sons monomania. She said Orville had
been trouble to the family for some
time. If he could have been persuaded
to remain quietly at home no rest1 Amt
would have been put upon his actions,
for he was kind husband and kind
father, and there was no apprehension
his mania would take a violent turn.
His insanity consisted in monomania
for immense transactions without any
capital, and if he could not obtain the
money for his travelling expenses any
other way he would borrowit Besides,
his mind was SO unsteady they did not
like to trust him on long journeys
alone. Last fall he went to California
to attend to what he called large milling
interests, and to push the fortunes Of
an invention for cleaning wheat, from
which he expected great things. He
returned in June, and, since then, his
mania has been worse than ever. Of
course he did not bring back the antici-
pated fortune. On the contrary, he had
spent or invested in unremunerative en-
terprises nearly or quite all OF the $780,
