Under the pressure Of the revived
Presidential issue the stagnation in the
House continues. It is not 10 be sup
posed that any business Of practical
value can now be gotten through. In
deed, any effort in that direction is
looked upon as a breach of sanity. 1t
is common spectacle to witness sew
eral dozen members crowding them
selves TO the front with loud voices and
wild gestieulatiOns, trying to get them
selves recognized. While twice as many
others, mistakiug their desks for foot
stool, put their neither extremities in
the ascendancy. Any one desirous OF
witnessing a mimic of their schOol-bOy
debates should sit in the gallery for a
while. Il is exceedingly comic to see
their efforts TO drown each others
voices at times. But when the fac,
forces itselfupOn US that thisis the Amer.
lean House Of Representatives, it be-
comes supremely ridiculous. We won

INSANITY-ITS CAUSES.-The causes
of insanity may be found in a too pow
erful excitement of the miud in the ac-
QUESTION of wealth, social distinction,
or office. Insanity was not common
among the native Indians of our cOun-
try, but it prevails to an alarming ex-
tent in New England civilization. Our
civil war left us with demOraliZed cur
rency, which led to rash speculation
and the "hard times" and the dishon-
esty of those who have had charge Of
insurance companies, banks, etc, have
ruined thousands, who a few years ago
had competency, aud the loss Of prop
erty frequently takes away reason, aud
in many cases leads to suicide. There
is scarcely a daily paper issued but " hat
contains an account of an insane person
being taken to a luuatie asylum, or Il
man or woman who has committed sui
eide, with the cOmment-financial trou-
oles was the only apparent cause! In
sanity Is more or less partial, and per
sons are frequently to be met with who
are Insane OD the subject of property,
religion, etc, but who appear 10 ne per
fectly sane on all other topics. As the
mind is never diseased, and is only af-
tected by disease Of the organs through
which 1t Is manifested in the present
/ life, il follows that mOnOmania can only
be accounted for on the now generally
conceded fact that the brain is the organ
Of the mind, aud that it consists OF q
cOngeries of organs equal in number to
the innate faculties Of the mind IN
