The magnitude of stock and nro,

The magnitude of stock and produce
gambling in this country is very much
greater than many people suppose. The
fact Is that comparatively few stocks are
brought outright. The business is nearly
all done on margins. There are sold on
the New York Stock Exchange daily an av.
erage of $4,000 shares of stock, the par
value Of which is $50, 200, 900. To purchase
that enormous amount requires only
81, 75O, 600 Of actual cash. A person with
$500 or 81 900 can purchase one to two
hundred shares of stock of the par value of
$1,000 to $4,000. The purchases for ac.
tual investment compared with the volume
of business is small, probably no: 10 per
cent. of the whole. There is q cotton AZ.
change in New York, where as much cot.
ton is sold in week as is produced in the
United States in year. Futures are bought
and sold for every month in the year. In
Chicago and Milwaukee three fourths of

The lato census developed interesting
Facts In regard to the freedmen. The IT,
bles are not complete, but in the states of
Alabama, Delaware, Arkansas, Florida.
Georgia, and South Carolina, it is seen that
the larRe plantations are being gradually
broken up, and that freedmen are beco.n-
ing tenant farmers. The rate of increase
IN the number of farms was in South Caro-
lima nearly eight times, in Georgia nearly
five times, and in Alabama considerably
over three times as great between 1870 and
lS0O as it was between 1850 and 1860, In
Florida the rate of increase was 52.6 per
cent. between 1859 and 1860, and 1858 per
cent. between 1870 and 1885,. Of farms
rented for produce there is an aggregate ia
the six states OF 135, ,785, as against II
rented for fixed cash payments, while the
aggregate number of rented farms of both
classes is 213,17O, as against 2Sl ,795 occu-
pied by the owners. Many of the freedmen
have acquired homestcads of their own but
the mass, of course, are obliged to become
tenant farmers, necessary, if not the best
PROBATION for actual ownership.

SEvENTEEN archbishops and bishops of
Ireland: have recently had conference. ut
Maynooth on the land bill and the state of
Ireland, and have issued manifesto which
cannot fail to have an III portant influence
in quieting that unhappy country. They
considered it their duty to declare that the
new land act is of great benefit to the tenant
class, aud large installment of justice, for
whichthe gratitude of the country is due
to Mr.. Gladstone and his government, and
to all who helped them carry this measure
through parliament. The bishops earnestly
exhort their focks to avail themselves of
the advantages derived from the act, be.
lieving that, il rightly used, it will bring
present and substantial benefits, md help
them to obtain their rights, social and polit-
ical, which they justly claim. They also
urge the tenant farmers to use the means
provided in the land act, and every other
means in their power to improve the con-
dition Of the laboring class. The bishops
avail themselves Of this opportunity to call
on the clergy to guard their flocks against
al secret agencies OF violence and intimi
de ton, which can only come from enemies
OF the people.

HOSPITAL FOR INSANE.

9ohl-Annual Report Of the Inspectors on
tho Institution at st. Pter-The Asylum
Observation-Disclosures Suggestions Made
Drs. W. H. Leonard, Minneapolis. and C. H.
Boardman, St Paul, the authorized inspectors
of the insane asylum at St. Peter, latoly made
the second Of their semi annual visits to that
institution, and have submitted a report to the
governor, Of which synopsis is herewith pre-
sented. The inspectors found that owing to
the continued rains the contractor engaged in
rebuilding the east wing-destroyed bv fire, as
VIII be rememberod-had been delayed and
hampered, and in consequence tho evils Of
oVercroWdins were greatly felt. Tho building
was full before the fire. and has as nlanv in
mates now as then, with scarcely half the
room. very perceptible and unpleasant olors
aro nolceablo IN some Of tue wards, duo
largely to their crowded condition. and
another evil, caused in the Same way is the
Ill effect upon tho excitablo patients. A stone
ou'iolng opposite the lower house has been
teh!ed ior the use of employees, and it is in
tended TO erect near the kitchen frame one
patients. The need of sewer iu connection
Win the lower house is crying ono and should
receive instant attention. None of the sinp;e,t
rules of sanitary law can be observed when
proper drainage is impossible. The 200 acre
farm IN connection with tho asylum has proven
profitable aud exceedingly advantageous. ~ ~
affording field for the employment of harm
less and cOnvalescent inmates The physicians
recommend most earnestly that more land be
purchased or leased, as they doom tho farm too
small BY half. At the time of their visit there
were 543 inmates, of which 2S6 were men
and 254 women. The cases in which restraint
had been found necessary from July to Sop
temoer II were reported at 100, and the
ovorcrowdng is to blame for the large num-
Dor. Four-ffths of those requiring restraint
were women; the maximum longth Of DURANGO
vas twenty days and the minimum one hour.
Ut the 100, many apply to the same person,
ally. Since the last report of the physicians
there have been one suicide (by drownirc) and
two elopers, one of the latter having returned
to the asylum. The report concludes with a
high tribute to the efficiency OF tho superin-
tendent and to the general good conduct of the
minor officers and employees.

What Constitutes q Good Physician.

From the Spectator.
A man can hardly be a good physician
without having considerable native share
OF scientific ability; and he should also have
much of the artists sensibility to form,
color, and expressive motion. The physi-
clan, besides actual accom- nplishments which
he is likely enough to have quite outside
his vocation, is often the most agreeable
and well informed man of the world in his
very large circle. And everything con-
spires at present to compel or invite the
widening of his horizon. To be a really
gist. This does not mean that if be finds
in case of insomnia no obvious cause for
the patients disorder he should ask the
unfortunate man if he has anything ON his
conscience e-embezzlement, for instance
1t is we'll known that Lord Eldon, wher
plain John Scott, eloped with the L, dy
whom he married, and that they were lov-
ers all their lives. While it was yet very
early days with them, young Mrs. Scott fell
ill in strange village, and the local prac-
titioner was sent for. Having, after the
usual routine, failed to make out what was
the matter with the beautiful lady, he said
Il am afraid, ma'am, there is something on
your mind. You are not happy with youl
husband?" This was bad practice. Mrs.
Scott had much spirit and natural elo-
quence; and there was nothing the matter
with Mr.. Scott, who was both tall and ath-
!etic; but the muse will not sing the dis
missal of that doctor. The anecdote only
illustrates, in passing, the sense IN which
the physician must not be psychologist.

MANY newspapers recently have stated
that the widow of Abraham Lincoln was
living in poverty and had been scurvilv
treated by congress. Immediately after the
assassination a law was passed giving her
year OF her husbands salary, $25, 900.
Afterwards IN act was passed permitting
MRS. Lincoln to have all letters sent to her
Tree OF postage, and her own correspond
ence was also franked. In 1870 law was
enacted giving the widow SO, 600 wear
durlng her life. Lincoln, though not
wealthy, left considerable property at his
death, enough to maintain his family in a
modest manner of life.
