DR.. Hewetson, Of the Belmont County
Inflrmary, prints an interesting letter on
the subject Of the real or feigned insanity
Of Royal Cowles, the Cleveland ieweler,
whose disappearance and subsequent de-
tention and reco gnition in the above in
Urinary have occasioned q good deal of
discussion over the river. The facts con-
nected with Cowles' disappearance and
subsequent finding Lave already been
published in these columns. Now that
he is restored to his family he still seems
to have no knowledge OF his own identity,
and this is charged by some to be feigned
and not real. 1t is to relieve Mr.. Cowles
from these imputations that DR.. Hewet-
sons letter, q portion OF which we give
below, is written.
There are but two views, OF his case, he
says, which can be entertained: Either he
Is dishonestorhe is honestly what he claims
he is-a man with no knowledge ofhis own
Notwithstanding all other parts OF the
mental operations perfect, all that apper-
tanned to his own identity aperfect blank.
Can the former OF these propositions be
trueP Is the latter false? Let me briefly
but conscientiously review the facts as
now well established in his case, and find,
il possible, the truth. The first fact is that
before leaving home he wrote q note TO
his friend R, stating among other things,
HDo not seek to trace me; 1t will prove USE
less" Is the next step that OF a q man
bent on concealment OF his whereabouts?
The note above referred to bears date Janu-
ary1 /, 1878. On the next day, January 2.
he was found on the street at Bellaire with
a small package in his'hand containing
scissors, a pair OF eyeglasses, a bunch OF
strong Irvine, needle and thread, claiming
that he did not know who he was, where
he came from, or where he was going. Go
ing to the nearest hotel, he candidly sta.
ted his case. He said that he possessed but
little mouey, and II furnished q bed he
would give no trouble, and that he believ.
ed in q short time this strange mental
darkness would pass off. His open, frank
countenance, gentlemanlY appearance
department secured him the sympathy Of
the landlord, and his request was granted.
Within a few days a gentleman came to
Bellaire to lecture on temperance, and
stopped at the same hotel.
The lecturer, becoming interested In
Mr.. Cowles' case, invited him to attend
the lectures. During the delivery some
impulse too powerful for his will possess.
ed his mind, and he rushed out on the
most public street OF the city, smashing in
saloon windows with a club. The roughs
ran out OF their dens and most shamefully
beat and abused him, ~fracturing an arm
near the shoulder joint, and leaving al.
most the half OF his body black and blue.
Such conduct proves that in whatever
light you view the case they are the &C.
lions Of an insane man.

A NOVEL. BRIDAL TRIP.
Memphis Ledger.l

lAouAphiS AtuSef.l
1t is little out of the usual order to
make bridal tour on a Mississippi
river flat-boat, and it is not often done,
but every now and then IA spirit of ad-
venture strikes into the heart of a low
Last year, or the year before, Capt.
Espy, of Rising Sun, Ind, married a
beautiful Ohio Valley belle, fitted up
u zeal bridal chamber in exquisite
style, and regardless of expense, started
on a voyage to the Lower Mississippi,
where the live oak forests tower, and
the fragrant orange blossoms spread
the odor upon the breeze. The couple
passed several months in this way, and
the time was delightful for both. Yes
terday another pair of bridal tourists
went by here, going south on fiat
boat. They were also from Rising Sun,
Ind, a short distance below Cincinnati,
on the Ohio, and the boat was month
out from her starting-point, tho pilot
being Capt. Thomas, and the sNme who
steered the Espy boat south last season.
1t was the silver bridal trip of Capt.
and Mrs. William Hemphill, of Ris-
ing Sun, couple well off in worldly
goods, and whose residence is: the
finest and most attractive in the town
Of Pisfng Sun. The gardens and groves
in which their house Is situated occ,l.
Ply ten acres, all in high state of cul-
ture and carefully kept. In addition
the Captain owns a large and produc-
tive farm near by, He has been fiat
boating for the past tlifrty-four years,
and this is the first time Mrs. Hemp
hill ever made a trip from home. Their
children are all grown, but one, lad
OF fourteen, who accompanies his pa
rents on the voyage. Several of the
ladies are married, and all are well-to-
40. The boat upon which Captain and
Mrs. Hemphin are floating down the
river contains 5000 bushels Of corn for
distribution and sale among sugar
plantations In Louisiana. At one end
OF the craft Is a neatly-fftted cabin,
where state-room Is comfortably fitted
for the lady and her spouse. She en-
joys the novel voyage, she says, and
will not In future allow her husband to
make other trading trip on the river
unless he takes her along.
At q meeting of the Board OF Trus-
tees Of the Peabody Educational Fund
held In Washington on the 10th,
Chief Justice Manning, of Louisiana,
was unanimously chosen to fill the
vacancy on the Board, occasioned by
the death of Gen. Richard Taylor.
u. Peabody Russell, Secretary of the
noard, says that the interest income of
the fund has been principally devoted
10 common schools in the Southern
states. For the last year, however, it
has been largely in the interest of nor.
