TELEGRAPHiC ITEMS.

In the Guteau case, Doctor McDon-
all, Superintendent of Wards Island
Hospital, testified that during his prac-
tice he had six thousand cases of insan-
ity, and had given special study to IN
sanity. Witness stated the difference
between "delnsions" and ''insane de-
lusions, one being subject to correction
by the Judgment and the senses, and
the latter not being correctable, and for
that reason denominated ''insane de-
lusion. There are also illusions and
halluclnations, witness giving illustra-
tions from his own experience He be-
heved, judging from experience, that
the claim OF inspiration, so frequently
asserted by insane persons, proceeds
from the source OF. hallucinations or in
sane delusions affecting the senses.
Witness then being asked if persons
acting under the claim of inspiration
would indicate it in any other way than
by their assertions, answered.: ''Their
actions and behavior would indicate it,
as well as their assertions. To illustrate
it, person, claiming to be Jesus Christ
and acting under an inspiration, clothed
himself like the Savior, disposed of his
property, slept out Of doors because
the Savior had not where to lay his
headl; if such person would feel
any apprehension of bodily injury, or
would take any precautions to guard
against danger" he replied, 'Inspira-
tion always overrides all fear of bodily
pain or injury and renders person
who believes he is acting under inspira-
tion, wholly obvious to such consider
ations."
There has been good deal of chatter
about the Minister of Great Britain
here being bachelor, and yet the faith
er of children. The fact is England
never commissions a man to a high
office whose social record is not good.
The present Minister, when a young
attache of the British Legation at Mad
rid, married an estimable Spanish lady,
though not OF equal rank, lived happily
with her for years, and recognized her
as his wife. Although the Court jour-
nails never announced the marriage, he
was legally married. That's the whole
story. Since his wife's death he has
lived singly.

The French Marrying Law.
Tondon saturdaY Rerlew.

The cruelty which the French law of marriage occasionally inficts upon En- glish women is strikingly illustrated in the case of Mme Dcsainte. This unfor- tunate young woman was married in { 1876 to a young Frenchman whom she 1 doubtless believed to be offull age. Inthe ' eye of the English law he was so, for he | was well over 21 In the eye of the | French law, however, he was still a minor. for he was only 9. The marriage was perfectly legal one according to English ideas Is was solemnized in { church and after due publication of banns. Some three years later M. Desainte for the first time informed his father that he had wife. At first the family did seem to have up their mind to dispute the validity of the marriage; but either they or the young man him self determined upon reflection that he would be happier single, and when Mme. Desainte went to Paris to claim her hus- band she was turned out of house. The civil tribunal of the Seine has since set aside the marriage on the familiar ground that the e.:;:ss..jand was under 70 years of age and had not obtained the consent of his father and mother. A case of greater hardship can not be iiHstSiHcus h 1OuiiS nOihdh odoNS.HL discoverers, after three years of married life, and the birth of children that, ac- cording to the law of her husbands country, he is no better than her seducer. | That Mir. Desainte is destitute of the 1 least shadow of honorable feeling does not need to be said, but unluckily, there was no way open to Mime. Desainte. Of ascertaining his deficiency in this re- spect. A girl who accepts an offer from a young man who so far as she knows, is in all respects able to contract a vailed
 marriage, has no reason to think that
 she is running any risk whatever Her
 lover has apparently given her the ac- cepted proof that he is in earnest. He
 has offered to marry her, and to take
 the burden of her support upon himself. It is natural that when cases of this kind
 are made public there should be good
 deal of outcry against the alleged absurd
 ity of French law. Undoubtedly it is a question whether, in one respect, it
 might not be beneficially altered. When
 a young man goes into foreign country
 and there contracts marriage which by
 the law of that country is good mar
 riage we do not see why it should not
 be held valid in the country of the hus-
 band. If an opportunity should offer it.
 self for general revision ot the Euro
 pean marriage law this proposal might
 be very properly made to the French ! government

The Battle on the Rappahannock.
Tidewater (Va.l Iddex.


 We are informed that about the 9th or 10th instant fleet of fourteen or fifteen dredge boats attempted to repeat their experiments of last winter, and en- tering the Rappahannock, began to dredge for oysters, in open violation of the law Jas our readers will probably re- member was done last season.) The au- thorities of Middlesex sent at once to Saluda for the cannon with which Gov. Holiday had supplied the county, and as there were many old veterans in the the county who had served in Fleets battery during ''the late unpleasantness," there was no difficulty in manning the piece. The gun was placed on the river near North End in the lower part of the county, and on the following morning the same fleet appeared in the river and resumed dredging operations. The gun was at once opened upon them and the first round was returned by the vessels with rifles, but the second ball struck one of the vessels, and in the expressive language of our enthusiastic informant, the whole fleet made a straigh shirt tail for the mouth of the river" their speed being accelerated by twenty-two shots delivered with astonishing rapidity. We were told that some of the old artil- lerymen were so much enthused that they imagined they were fighting their battles over again. The gun used was a Whitworth gun which formerly belonged to the Richmond Howitzers, and, the gunners say, threw ball about six miles. Violaters of the law had better look out, for the "Pinetoppers" seem to have their fighting blood up.

A Few Apt Definitions.
 Montreal Herald,

Tennyson can take worthless sheet of paper, and by writing poem on 1t make it worth S5,000. That's genius. Mir. Vanderbilt can write fewer words on a si.1ss;;iisa.r sheet and make it worth ss:sG sG.0Uo,O00. That's capital. And the United States Government gan take an ounce and quarter of gold and stamp upon it an "eage bird" and Twenty Dol lars.p That's money. The. mechanic can take the material worth $50 and make it into watch worth Sl00. That's skill. The merchant can take an article worth twenty-five cents and sell it to you for Sl0O. That's business. A lady can purchase comfortable bonnet for Sl0, but prefers to pay Sl00 for one because it is more stylish. That's foolishness The ditch digger works ten hours day and shovels out three or four tons ol earth for Sl. That's labor.

TIE settlement of Lower Oregon is go-

TIE settlement of Lower Oregon is go- ing on at an unprecedented rate. A Ger man couple has recently arrived with fourteen children, the mother being about twenty-five years of age. They were married in the fall of 1870 and the following summer their married life was blessed with twins, both girls. Less than two years later the woman, then, but eighteen years old, gave birth to four children, three girls and boy, the latter living only few days. In the summer of 1874, three more girls registered at the humble hearth and in 1875 boy ar rived solitary and alone. Seven years after Marriage the arrival of another cluster of four, this time two boys and two girls, was an event that created some consternation, and two years ago two more little flaxen haired girls came to the fortunate conple.

PHILADELPHIA Press. The next Senate

PHILADELPHIA Press: The next Senate will stand-D5iiiioorats 5I; Republicans, g, and Independents, 2-viz: Davis of Illinois and Malone of Virginia. Though Judge Davis usually votes with the Dem- ocrats on party questions, he does not always; neither does he go into the Dem- ocratic caucus. The Democrats will re- quire the votes of both these Senators to give them the control, whereas one will suffice for the Republicans, making a tie, and giving Gen. Arthur the casting vote. If Judge Davis maintains his present position of an independent mem- Der, with decided Democratic leanings, as he doubtless will, it is apparent that everything depends on the course adopt ed by Gen. Malone. The party that he decides to cooperate with will choose the officers of the Senate, appoint a ma jority of the members of each committee and give color and direction to the Sem ate legislation.

There's plenty of room up stairs, as Daniel Webster said to the young lawyer anxious to rise, but Respondent of his chance to do so; but no one need iniure himself either in climbing the stairs of fame or those of his own house or business place.

Patton, one of our foremen, in walking up stairs last week sprained his leg badly. gave him bottle of St. Jacobs Oil to try. He used it and an almost instantaneous cure was effected.
