The DuLes of England.

All things considered, the Dukes OF
England, Ireland and Scotland, TWEEN
ty-eight in number, ARE decidedly above
the average twenty-eight gentlemen in
point of character and attachments.
There is only one now who is regarded
as naaHUiGS St.jet-the Duke of New
castle, rnined gambler, whose estate
is in the hands of trustees, appointed
under his fathers will, and who sub
sists on the fortune of his wife, heiress
of the late Mr.. Hope, of the great
Dutch house. His cousin, the Duke OF
Hamilton, having sown q plentiful
crop of wild oats, has married a sister
of Vaudeville and turned over a new
leaf. The ablest of English Dukes lie
probably his Grace of Devonshire, a
high wrangler of Cambridge, a con-
summate man of business, and perhaps
as much respected by men of all sorts
and conditions as it u possible for
men to be. The Duke OF Richmond is
solid and sensible, and fills his place in
the Government very respectfully. The
Duke of Somerset is man of admitted
ability, who has filled very responsible
positions with credit. The Duke OF
Sutherland is devoted TO mechanical
science, and the improvement of his
Adams is very bright. The Duke OF
Cleveland is regarded as man OF very
high character, and remarkably
clear-sighted politician. The Dukes
of Northumberland Westminster and
Bedford are admirable country gentle
men, a9d always among the foremost
in assisting any good and liberal work
The Duke of Buckingham is hard
working, conscientious official, and
the Duke of Marlborough is the same.
The Duke of Norfolk Is a deeply re-
ligious (but not bigoted) and munitic-
ent son of the Roman Catholic church.
OF the Scotch Dukes, the ablest are
Buccleugh and Argyll. The former
manages his vast estates with judic-
iousness, kindness and sagacity, which
has made him the idol of his Genantry.

well known to all educated Americans,

DO Mos OverworI1 Yoar MIND

DIR. OrdronaUx, State Commits
sioner in LnnacY, in his conference
with the Board Of appointment
about the Black wells Island Asy-
lum, was asked why there was q
rapid increase of insanity in this
city. He replied:
at is greatly due TO the aggrega-
ton of people in metropolitan GEN.
ters, where business riYalries are
very intense. In those centers it is
found that the vitality of the sys-
tenn after q generation or two is di-
minished, and the children of un-
healthy parents come into the
world predisposed to insanity. We
seem to be reproducing in this res
pect the state of things which exist
ed iu. Ninevah and Babylon"
It is a dreadful picture that DR..
Ordronaux draws. Is the great
mental activity required by the
rushing, driving business of this
city really leading to q generation
of Iunatics2 We have at hand this
pertinent passage from q sermon by
Professor Swing, of Chicago:
"a grain dealer found, q few
years ago, that bis mind was being
transformed into senses of wheat.
AS the eye is thesense of Hight, and
the ear of sound, aud the tongue of
taste, so he had displaced ali these
by q new sense-a sense of wheat.
He rose early to learn the latest
quotations East, he sat up late at
night to figure at the margins of
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, reli-
gion, friendship, amusement, were
all flying out of the window, while
wheat was coming in at the door"
The grain dealer, Prof. Swing
says, saved himself from insanity
by limiting his hours of business to
four a day, and occupying his mind
during the rest of his waking time
of thoughts of something else than
grain. The remedy is good, but
difficult to be applied. 1t is easy
for a manual Iaborer to forget his
work when he is through with it
for the day, but mercantile and pro-
fessional men find it harder. The
mind is less controllable than the
body, for it refuses to rest when II
is wesriest; yet much may be done
by an 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 it on the NOR
row. Do not take home the alb
stracted manner that shows you to
be working hard in the time thai
belongs to rest. Do not sit in pla-
ces of amusement looking vacantly
at the performance, but neither see.
ing nor hearing it. 1t is better to
sleep in your pew in church than
to be seemingly listening to the SER
mon, while your mind is exclusive
ly occupied with plans for Monday
Indeed. sleep is about the best test
of your mental health, unless yoT
have softeniDg of the brain. If yoT
can sleep dresmlessly eight hours
every night, you are in no immedi
ate danger of going insane-NeW

THE HARD MONEY FANA-
TICS.
a SOuthern Newspaper View.

n SOuGheFR Newspaper view.
Louisville Courier-JournaI.
The statesmen of the East are hand
ling the financial question just as the
secessionists of the South handled the
secession question They persistently
refuse TO see more than one side of the
case. They denounce all opposition 10
their demands as Reputation. They
confound persons, incidents and de-
tailssin their infatuation. Originally,
''hard money! was silver and gold /;
now gold only is coin, delusion as
great US the cry of the disuniOnIsts,
"Cotton is King" They forget every
thing and learn nothing; the way the
debt was made; the way 1t was from
time to time sustained; the dishonest
changes that were rung into the ma
tional legislation; the base circum-
stances of the decentralization of silver,
and finally, the dreadful fact that the
whole fabric rests upon the volitiOn of
q suffrage universal.
This universal suffrage can, If 1t
likes, repudiate the whole debt. It can,
if it likes, decree soft soap to be cur
currency. at present, very luckily for
US, it is not so excited as those who
hold the debt, and consequently it is
under some restraint. By this token a
conservative, and by no means ruin
Gus, settlement of the question is pos
sible. But IL this Is not obtained the
Eastern capitalist may as well make
up his mind to the consequences. HIS
one hope is immediate concession, i'm
mediate recognition of this great truth,
that he Is in the hands of his debtor.
The debtor Is anxious now to be hon
est for his own sake and the country's
sake. He wants to settle fairly-but
he cannot settle on the hard terms de-
manded without wiping himself out,
and that he will not do. The East had
better understand the case. Its sole
chance is parley, an agreement, re-
sal ting in a measure which will re-
move the question from politics alto

are not applicable; they are absurd.
| The one item of universal su Hrage
knocks the props from under enlight-
eAed theorizing of every sort. The
bonded debt, like slavery, twin mon
sters both, evils of modern civilization,
is to be made safe by compromise. In
the one case AS in the other, extremism
is war, and war is the ruin of the bond
holder.
The trouble with the bondholder is
| precisely that which misled the seces-
sionist.

We mean to pay our debts. We
mean to stand by the credit of the
Government and the honor of the flag
and when the poor fools who are berat-
ing us shall have spent their breath
we shall be found the sole outlying
line between the bondholders and re-
pudiation. But ga stitch in time save:

The eastern journals belonging to

echoes seem to take heart of grace
because the bankers of New Or

Death of Victor Emanuel,
Ming of Italy.

LONDON, Jan. 9.-The King of Italy
died at 2 80 this afternoon.
ROME, Jan. 9.-In the afternoon sac
raments were administered to King
Victor Emanuel, He then summoned
Prince Humbert, the heir apparent,
and his wife, Princess Marguerite, to
his bedside, with whom he cOnversed a
few moments. Afterwards the malar-
ial eruption increased, and the King
then summoned all those who were in
the habit of approaching him. He adj
dressed to every one present a few
words, aud a few moments after died.
News of his death soon spread through
the city and caused great emotion
among the people. All the shops were
closed. Prince Humbert was pro-
claimed King of Italy. He confirmed
the present ministers in their posts.
HOW THE KING DIED.
ROME, Jan. cit is stated that
King Victor Emanuel confessed to
Monsigneur f. Marienelli, Sacristan OF
the Apostolic Order, who was sent to
him by the Pope, He was also visited
by Monseigneur Cenni, the POpe's do
nestle prelate. The Austrian Ambas=
sador was present, with Prince Hum
bert, the Princess Margueretra, and
State dignitaries. When the King re-
ceived the communion of extreme uHc=
ton from his chaplain, towards 2 80 p.
m, the oppression under which the
King labored increased, and he was
caused to inhale oxygen, which SEEM
ed to give him little strength. He
saluted those present, bending
his head twice, then, signing deeply,
expired. The diplomatists, being in:
formed of the death of the King and
Prince Humbert's accession, they pro-
ceeded to the Quirnal Immediately, to
condole.
The newspapers appear In black, and
remind their readers that Victor EN-
anuel's life was dedicated to the great
ness and happiness of Italy.
King Humbert has issued the fol
lowing proclamation:
Italians: The greatest misfortune
has suddenly befallen Us. Victor En-
anuel, founder of the Kingdom of Italy
and its unity, has been taken from US
received his last sigh, which was fol
the nation, his last wishes, which was
for the happiness of his people. His
voice which will always resound in my
heart, bids me Vanquish sorrow and in
dictates my duty. At this moment
there is one consolation possible
namely: To show ourselves worthy o.
him. following in his footsteps, anC
you by remaining by those civic vir-
tues by the aid of which he accomplish
ed the difficult task of rendering Italy
great and United. shall be mindful
of his grand example of devotion tC

pride Of my house. Ny sole ambition
will be to deserve the love of my PEG.
pie. Italians, your first King is dead
his successor will prove to you that in
situations do not die. Let US unite In
this hour of great sorrow. Let VI

WAYS been the solution of Italy.
