ina there were TAT straight Republican mem

that five Of the Greenbackers, the TWO Read

The project OF attempting coalition between
the Democrats and Greenbaekers TO secure
the organization seems to have been aban-
doned. Nearly thirty five members of the
House are in Washington, and Of these only
pabicans, eight are candidates for Speaker
So it is evident that not much progress
Is yet made in the canvass. All the candi-
dates talk hopefully, but the truth is that
none can give any estimate Of the votes they
will get outside of their respective States.
The white House.
WASHINGTON, November 2lst.-The White
House is now undergoing repairs, and will
probably be in an inhabitable condition by
the 1st OF December. The rooms occupied
by the HAYES and Garfield families as Sleep
ing-rooms, and where the late President lay
during his long illness, have been painted
light blue The rooms across the hall, in the
northwest corner, which down to the time of
President Hayes occupancy were family
apartments, will be used for this purpose by
President Arthur. The suite consists OF
small room done in two shades OF blue
panels, which was occupied by Grandma
Garfield, and larger room in the corner,
which is painted in crimson. The library,
which is on the south side of the hall, be-
tween the Cabinet-room and the apartments 1
occupied by Garfield, are all undergoing a
thorough renewing. Upstairs the family
apartments have been moved across the hall
from the southwest to the northwest corner,
and the walls have been done over in new
tints The pipes about tie house have been
repaired, and TO great extent renewed-a
renovation which has not taken place before
for thirty-tive years.

sulting physician to all the city insane asy-
lums. He says Guiteau belongs 20 larger
class OF persons than most people suspect the
existence Of. BE is a subiect of insane
neurosis," or insane temperament. The out
breaks characterizing such condition are
largely the fault of the so-caDed patient
though of course there is liberalization from
nervous ancestors. This matter of insane
neurosis is one of a wide bearing, which de-
serves more attention from physicians and
from fathers than it has yet received. It
Tnanifests itself in different ways. In ninety
nine cases out Of one hundred it leads people
to nothing more than harmless eccentricity,
or hypochrondia, and frequently is never
noticed at all, unless by some physician in
terested in such matters. The Importance
OF recognizing the gravity of the subject is
imperative, but the recognition of insane
neurosis is no new thing. Maudsley gives it
prominence, and in his works calls attention
to its evidences in large number of persons.
