Causes Of Insanity.


A table in the last report Of the
Utica State Insane Asylum, giving
the occupations of the patients, shows
by far the largest number (282 in q
total of 41O) whose occupation was
known, were farmers housekeepers,
meaning, we suppose, farmers wives,
labOrers and domestic servants. This
illustrates that a monOtonOus and
toilsome life, with little or no relax
alton or recreation, is more liable to
unsetlle the mind and destroy the
reason than a life of greater mental
and social activity. Most of the pa
tients were native Americans, and
were married. Their ages IN the
main were from twenty to forty; very
few were illiterate but very few also
had more than a common school ed
ucation. In 427 cases but 122 inher-
tied any faint of insanity; 263 pa
tients remained not over six months,
and al not over two months, show
ing that the malady was not severe.
Intemperance was a minor cause
eleven per cent. Female disorders
caused about twelve per cent, while
the prime cause in the larger num-
Der of cases was ill-health, stimulated
by o7erwork, grief, anxiety and sleep
lessness. To the causes cited above
which encourage mental disturbances
we would add dyspepsia, due to poor
or ilI-cooked food. In this connee-
ton we would refer to the admirable
paper on health of Massachusetts
farmers, by DR.. J. F. Adams, of Pitts
field, in the report Of the Massaehu-
setts State Board of 1874, in which
a large amount Of interesting data is
given, regarding the ill-health Of the
farmers, and especially of their wives
and daughters. Over-wOrk, expo
sure, poor food, unsanitary dwellings,
impure water, unYentilated bedrooms
and insufficient recreation, are all
mentioned as the chief causes of sick
ness among this class. It is denied
that farmers are specially liable to
insanity, yet it is added that causes
of insanity are not altogether want
ing, as shown by the eighty-one far
mers admitted to asylums the year
before. The farmer lives amid more
natural conditions than the artisan,
business or professional man. But,
while he escapes intellectual strain,
he labors too ineessantly and joyless-
ly, and frets and worries about his
crops, his stock and his mortgages. |
The remedy is more recreation and
less work. Then the farmer may
lose his reputation for chronic grum-
bling.

The President, in regard to the
Star Mail Route rascality, is acting
up to the motto, "Let no guilty man
escape" He has removed Gen.
George A. Sheridan, who stumped
Ohio last fall, from the Office of
Recorder of Deeds in the District of
Columbia. That's right. No one,
high or low, who is tainted with
these mail route frauds,or any other
frauds on the Government, should
be allowed to go unpunished. The
Republican party cannot afford to
shield any rascality in high places.

Without disparagement to other
denominations of Christians, the
Methodists can Justly lay claim to
outspoken and advanced views on
the Temperance question. In the
late State Temperance Convention
at Columbus, Methodist ministers
took leading part, and after the
Convention adjourned, they met and
passed the following resolutions:
Resolved, by the ministers Of the
N. 3. church here met, That we ap-
prove Of the course of our church
papers in giving their advocacy to
the cause of Temperance, and that
we will support the editors of the
Advocate, circulating in Ohio, in
giving their influence to secure the
objects declared for in this Conven-
ton.
Resolved, That we recommend
each annual Conference to sustain a
Temperance organization, to pro-
mots the cause of Temperance
throughout the year within their
bounds.

Sweeps all the Continent;
Helpless before the peoples choice,
The statesmen's wills have bent;
It hOnors first before all other,
A patient 'Gittle vhite-haired mother"

Looks on the listening land;
Whom brings this Raler, peer with peer,
Who stays him hand in hand
Honored by him, above all other,

Their tributes rank as lesser things;
They and their kingdoms wait,
While, reyerently, before all other,
