Woman q Trance.

British Medical Journal: ''The case Of a
woman IN state of trance, now under the
care of DIR. Langdon Down in the London
hospital, has excited much interest and pre-
sents weIl-marked example of this condi-
ton. The patient is a woman twenty-seven
years Of age, of rather small stature and weak
mental capacity. she was admitted on April
Sd, on account of symptoms connected with
extensive disease of the heart, for which she
had been treated as an impatient IN 1877.
When admitted there was marked aphonla;
she complained of great precordial pain, and
frequently expressed her firm idea that she
was going to be married. At this time she
had no difficulty in taking liquids; no marked
nervous symptoms were present You'd the
loss of voice. About May 18th, prostration
became marked, without any signs specially
attributable to the heart disease, and she
evipced great disinolination to take food of
any kind. In a few days she fell rather sud-
denly into state of trance, In which condi-
ton she has remained ever since. At first
she could be induced with difficulty to take
liquids, but soon she would not swallow
even sach food, and nutrient enemata had to
be given. For few days she would reply
to questions by monosyllables, but later gave
no sign of consciousness, remairg perfectly
passive and mohonless, and could not be
reused. There was never any kind OF con-
vuIsive seizure, local paralysis, or sign Of any
further lesion connected IN the heart dis
ease; the pulse remained full throughout.
No reflex action was obtained on tickling the
feet, and sLe seemed quite insensible to
pricking or pinchlng the skin. The temper

was fed by an elastic catheter passed through
the nostrils to the pharynx--a proceeding
which she made some attempt at resisting.

TEACHERS INsTETUTE Az BOIL
VAR


On the twenty fifth, twenty sixth and
twenty-seventh instant a teachers institute
will be held at Bolivar, HArdeman county,
which we hope will be largely attended.
These conventions are becoming such power
for good In this State that 1t behooves every
progressive and intelligent teacher, either in
the public or private schools, to attend and
take part in the exercises. We understand
that every arrangement has been made
by the people of Bolivar for the
reception and entertainment of visiting
teachers, and that round-trip tickets will be
sold at Memphis to-day, at four dollars and
forty cents, good until Monday, the
thirtieth State Superintendent Leon Irous-
dale has this to say in regard to this Bolivar
institute: "The brief time allowed for pre-.
pairing the programme has delayed its
printing and transmission to the counties
of the tenth congressional district. Teach
ers whose names are not included in the reg
ular work are respectfully and earnestly IN
vited to attend and participate in the discus
sions. la this manner are tie views and ex-
per.ences Of all brought out and profitable
results accomplished. Nor are these meet
ings exclusively for teachers. Citizens gener-
ally are solicited to attend and participate.
Especially are school directors urged to man.
fest their interest by being present and taking
an active part. Nor are the institutes de-
signed exclusively as meetings of public
school teachers. Private teachers,
also, are requested to manifest their profess
slonal zeal and Efficiency by giving their valu-
able aid to these interesting reunions of the
profession" We hope these requests and
iDjunctious of Colonel Trousdale will be re-
membered, and, as he says, that not merely
those who, as teachers, are directly interested
in the maintenance and growth of our school
system, but all who have an appreciation of
the value of education, will make it point
to attend and so encourage and hold up the
hands of our laborious and pains. taking edu-

avowed enemies to the Democracy of the
State, and are acting in total disregard of the
most vital interests of the State. 1t appears
that both of these factions have combined,
believing that if it should be possible to de-
feat the present measure of settlement, then
one or the other would have accomplished its
purpose. The purpose of the first would be
the payment in full of all the bonds issued
by the State. The purpose of the second, the
final Reputation of the entire debt of the
State. Ii either event an attempt would be
made to Jay the charge of such a result to the
Democratic party of the State and
hold it Responsible by saying that
party was IN power and brought this calamity
upon the people. Under these statements of
facts and this view of the situation, we deem
it our imperative duty to warn every Demo
crat and good citizen to rouse up and show
this insidious combination of opposition that
the Democracy is well aware of their schemes
and will terribly defeat at the ballot-box
their unworthy plot against the welfare and
honor of the State. The proposition for set
Element has received the sanction of the
most eminent men of the country and is
recommended for its near approach to har-
monlzing the extremes on this very intricate
aud vexations question, that has for a long
time threatened the integrity and best inter-
ests of the State, and was the fruitful hobby
for demagogues who are always ready to sac
rifce the honor and fair fame of the State for
the sake of a little official power and place.
Let every man turn out and vote for the rati-
fcation of this proposition, for there is not
the least danger but that it will finally be
accepted by every holder of the bonds of the
State"

and takes ali the care he can of them. He
does not tax them beyond their powers of

MEMPHIS APPEAL
TUESDAY, JUNE "a, 1879.
VOTE FOR THE sETrLEMENT.

On the seventh Of August the people of
Tennessee will be called upon to vote for or
against the proposed settlement of the State
debt. In another column will be found the
views of several of the newspapers of the
State, which indicate that the people will ac
cept settlement on the basis of fifty and
four. This will be most gratifying, as every
man who has the great material interests of
the State at heart is anxious to have this
question taken out of politics and fnally.set-
tied upon basis which viii iIfIct no dis
honor upon the credit of the State. In West
Tennessee we hear of no serious opposition to
the settlement which the bondholders have
accepted. We shall not, therefore, go into
an elaborate discussion of the question, and
here allude to it merely to induce the people to
turn out and vote. The representatives Of
the legislature are the trustees of the people,
and a vote should be cast on the seventh Of
August which should be unequivocal in de-
handing an acceptance Of final settlement
of the State debt.

The sister CT Keats, the Poet.

New York Times: MADAME Fanny Keats
de Llanos, the sister of John Keats, the poet,
has survived her gifted brother ffty-eight
years, and in her old age has been reduced
to that genteel description of poverty known
as 'straitened circumstances. Under these
conditions, there were many admirers of the
poet who deemed 1t disgrace that the sister
of one who had left so valuable legacy to
Englishmen and to the world generally
should Os permitted in her declining days to
suffer from neglect, and so they made an
effort TO procure grant from the civil list for
her maintenance. Money was not, however,
very plentiful at the treasury, and the utmost
the prime minister could do was to recon-
mend a grant of one hundred and fifty
pounds from the royal bounty fund, instead
of placing Nine. De Llanos on the civil list
for an annual pension. Although the bounty
is not equal to their demands or their expec-
tations, the friends of the aged lady have re-
solved to accept it, and make it the nucleus
of fund sufficient to keep her In compare
tive ease during the remainder of her days.
Subscriptions are being now solicited with q
view to the increase of the royal grant, and
Mr.. George William Curtis, of Hayper's
Weekly, has announced his readiness to re-
ceive and transmit subscriptions from any
one in this country who may feel disposed,
by any sentiment of gratitude or obligation
to the poet, to assist ID this good work.

Increase Of Crime an germany.

Attention has been called recently to the
rapid increase of crime in Germany. In 1871
the number Of offenses legally investigated
was $1,000; in 1876 it had sweled to 1885,
700, an increase of four-fold. Perjuries in
creased from 491 TO 800; offenses against
morality rose from 1912 to 1000. and bodily
injuries from 1900 to $1,000. Ia six years
the number Of offenders under eighteen years
of age increased nearly 1000. Religious
papers declare that "this increase of crime
has kept pace with the growth of iDideity. ="
Initiation organs insist that the demonetiza-
ton of silver caused the hard times and the
hard times caused the increase of crime. The
probability is that the chief cause was the
generalization following the Franco-Prus-
sian war. 1t is fact well known that all
wars in civilized nations tend to turn back
ward the tide of civilizing influences. We
felt this result IN this country after the war
of the rebellion, and, indeed, the country has
not yet recovered from the Decentralization
and criminal tendency produced by that
armed conflict

a PrIacess Royal of Zanzibar.

New York Tribune: "ln Berlin police
court not long ago, a servant girl was ac-
cused by her mistress OF gross negligence and
disobedlence in discharge OF her duties.
When the judge asked the plaintiff, simply
but respectfully dressed lady, her name, she
proud drew herself up and replied, Il am,
by birth, a princess of Zlnzibar.' Her de-
claration, at first discredited, proved to be
perfectly true. She was a niece of the
reigning sultan of Zanzibar, whose displeas-

Mr.. Ruele, a native of Hamburg, who had
made her acquaintance during his stay on the
