quite against his natural disposition. He
was imprisoned for larceny after having
committed several robberies; and had
not medical testimony been produced to
show that he was insane, and which
attributed his kleptomania to a disorder
of the brain, he would have been pun.
ished according to law.
Several ingenious but improper de.
fenses have been made by persons pos
sessed of good pecuniary means, and
holding respectable social position,
with the view Of escaping Imprisonment
for thefts they have committed more
from moral turpitude than O diseased
mind. One of the most noteworthy OF
these is mentioned by Casper. Madame
de X had stolen articles in three
goldsmiths' shops; and subsequently
confessed TO her husband that at GER
tain time she had an irresistible desire
to possess herself of shining objects.
She confessed to having taken objects
from shops; and stated that on one oc-
casiOn when she went to return the
goods she had been restrained from do
ing so from the belief that the articles
were her own. Much evidence was
given to prove that she suffered from
mental disease; but on Casper's opin-
ion being asked concerning her alleged
kleptomania, he concluded that her
propensity to steal was not irresistible;
that she had not been compelled to
commit the three thefts in spite of her
self, and that she was responsible for
them as criminal actions. His reasons
for this opinion were that, in the first
place, although the accused had be-
sought her husband not to take her to
those places where shining objects were
to be seen, she went to goldsmith5'
shops Of her own accord, and without
any necessity for doing so. Second,
that she paid away silver. Third, that
she broke up the objects she stole, in
order that they might not be recog-
nized, and in that way lead to her de-
lection. Fourth, she had not gone to
the same goldsmith's shop twice Fifth,
she had concealed her conduct from
her husband. And last, when she was
had made many false and
statements.

MONDAY novel and interesting per-
formance, in the shape Of dance, was
enacted on Main Street by over 100
Sioux and Cheyennes, who were accom-
panied by about twice as many squaws
and papOoses. The warriors were gro.
tesquely dressed in a style which would
have been decidedly cool even in sum-
mer; as it was, the day was quite chilly,
and the dusky braves had to keep up a
vigorous dance to feel at all comfortable.
The ceremony commenced by their all
squatting on the ground in a large circle,
when Hump, who seemed to be the
leader, struck the drum a few taps; they
all jumped up and commenced circliug
around, shaking the sleigh-bells with
which they were all ornamented in a
very lively manner, making a pleasing
accompaniment to the humping of the
large drum, which by this time was
beaten by over dozen Indians, all,
however, keeping a sort of monotonous
time, TO which the dancers kept step.
All of the participants in the dance had
their bodies painted various hideous
colOrs, some being green, red, blue,
black, and many parti-colored, with
their faces painted in many colors and
10 king very ugly. Most prominent
upon them all was painted a number of
horseshoes, which represent the number
of horses owned by each individual. At
each of the stores above mentioned
barrels of crackers, caddes of tobacco,
and large quantities of sugar and gay
printed calico were given, which pleased
them greatly. The dancing was kept
up for several hours, and was witnessed
by many ladies and citizens, to whom il
was very interesting. After getting all
they could from the stores, they dis
banded and dispersed to their camp the
other side of Fort Keogh.-Felioo0stone

THE MoREY CHINEE.

which is why remark
And my language is plain
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain,
The Morey Chinee Is peculiar
Which tho same l would rise TO explain.
Barnum was his namo;
And scornlng duel,
I'll not say whnt the same
Might imply-'twould be cruel;
But his wink It was wicked and Truth-llke,
As frequently remarked to Marsh. Jewell.
Twas October he'd heard
From the vote in the West,
Which 1t might be inferred
To his temper gave zcst;
And he played it that dny upon Garfield
And me, In way detest.
Which we had a campaign
And Barnum took hand;
II was Fair Play, The same
He did not understand;
But he smiled rs he bOsscd his Committee,
With Il smile that was rruth-llke and bland.
But to tell Of each wire
lie pulled I'm unable,
And It kindies my ire
To think of his stable,
Which was crammed full OF mules In barl,
And each wearing bribery liable.
But the deviltry bold
of that Barnum, dear! dearl
And the lies that he told
We're quite irghtful to hear;
I'LL Nt last he pul down forged letter,
And swOre; THAT james wrote II is clear"
Then at GARFIELD looked I,
And he gaZcd upon me,
And | rose with a sigh,
And said, "Can this be2
We arc swindled by Chinese cheap forging"-
And VIC went for the Morey Chinee.
In the scene that ensued
All the voters came forth,
And on Barnums fell brood
The fair-minded North
Sat down very hard aud emphatic,
For, o, they were terribly wrOth.
In his cars which were long,
They inserted a flea,
And his da5tardly wrong
That was aimed at Jim G.,
Turned into petard that hOisted
This truth loving MOrey Chinee.
Which Is why contend,
And stick 10 IL still,
That Fate shapes their end

THE SUPPLY OF PEACHES.

THE CROP ABOUT As LARGE AS THAT OF LAST YEAR
ABOUT 1000 900 BASKETS PROBABLY TO BE
SENT To THIS CITY.
Owing to the fact that the peach season began so
much earlier this year than usual, many mis-
statements have been made in estimating the
crop as an unusually large one. A TRIBUNE re-
porter Yesterday visited several commission houses
in West-st, and from them obtained correct state
ment of the facts. OF the crop this year. which is
an average one about 2.0000 900 baskets will prob
ably be received in New-York. These come
entirely from Newcastle and Kent Coun-
ties Del, and Kent and Cecil Counties,
Md-a part of the peach district which has
wear in that part of the district which furnished
the peaches last year. The crop ~ q large one for
the bearing district, and enough will be produced
not only to supply Inc R+ Northern and P5a
delphia About 100000 baskets will be re-
tanned for home consumption, drying canning.
etc The nOn-bearing districts will only produce
enough for home consumption. thorough canvass
of the districts has been made, and as nearly as
can be ascertained from all sources the number OF
baskets tO be sent from the different stations VIII

the inferior grades at much lower rates. Those III
crates will vary from 81 80 20 - a crate These
prices will be very satisfactory TO the commission
