Henry o. Flipper, the colored graduate Of
West Point, in letter from Camp Rice,
Texas, to the New York Tribune, denies the
story that he has been appointed Captain
in the Mexican army. He says: GAS a
matter of fact, am not in Mexico, but in
Texas. l have not received any appoint
ment, civil, military or otherwise, in Mexico;
| have asked for none and have no expecta-
ton Of ever receiving any, though l read,
write and speak the language fiuentlY."

More About the Skowhegan Robbery.
RocKLAED, Jan. 25.-Police officer j. FL.
Pooler, Of Skowhegan, last night arrested
Charles Farrand, of Somerville, for stealing
the team of John o. Haines, of Skowhegan,
two weeks ago. The team, horse and sleigh,
valued at $780, were recovered here. Farrand
had previously stolen a team at Searsport from
Newell G. Shute, which he disposed of at
Skowhegan, which was subsequently recov-
cred. A woman named Anna M. Holway, of
6omerville, in company with Farrand, was ar
rested. The officer took revolver and cart
ridges and razor from Farrand. He has
been on the track of the prisoner for ten Gays.
Coroner Mayo, of Skowhegan, in whose hands
she warrants originally were placed, arrived
to-day and the prisoners started for Skowhe-
gan this afternoon in teams, Mayo taking the
lady and Pooler the gentleman. The coroner
says Fsrrand is suspected of the larceny of a
team in Skowhegan last June.
Verdict of the Coroner's Jury in the Bid
deford Accident.
BDpEFoRD, Jan. 25.-The coroners verdict
In the case of Timothy Sullivan, recently
killed by the Boston & Maine Railroad at Bid
seford depot, is that there was a want of prop
or care on the part Of those in charge of the
train and that Sullivan and Mitchell were care
less in not noticing the movement of the train;
also that the instructions of the company to
employees are not sufficiently positive
Maine State Temperance Society.
AUGUSTA, Jan. 25.-The annual meeting of
the Maine State Temperance Society in this
city to-day was not SO largely attended as usual
owing to the intense cold weather and other
causes. Some of the leading Prohibitionists
In the State were present, among whom were
Heal Dow, Joshua Nye, T. R. Simonton of
Camden, head of the Order of Good Templars
in the State, r. w. Dunn of Wateryille, and
many others. The drift of the discussion was
that prohibition in Maine had been great
success in the past, but there was danger of
losing GROUND through the indifference of pro-
tossed temperance men.
A committee was appointed to inquire what
amendments or additional enactments are nee
ssary in order to entirely suppress the manu-
acture and sale of intoxicating liquors In this
State.

Il, 1882.

wickedness Of it? Would he hBve understood
the character of the act and its wrongfulness if
another person had suggested it to him.
The jury must consider these questions in
their own mind. If the jury were satisfied his
ordinary and chronic condition was that of
sanity, at least SO far that he knew the charac-
ter of his own actions and how far they were
right and wrong then the remaining inquiry
was whether there was any special insanity
connected with this criminal 1t would be
Econ that the reliance of the desence was the
existence of an insane delusion in the pri-
soners mind which so perverted his reason as
to incapactate him from perceiving the diff
ference between right and wrong. As to this
particular act as a part of the history of judi
cial sentiment on this subject and by way of
illustrating the difference between insane de-
fusion and responsibility he would refer the
jury to the celebrated case in English history
which had already been commented on in argu
ments.
Judge Cox here quoted from the opinions of
the judges in the McNaughton case and from
some American authorities on the same sub
ject. He went on to say that the subject of
insane decisions plyed an important part in
this case and demanded careful consideration.
The subject was treated to limited extent in
Judicial decisions but more was learned about
it from the works of medical jurisprudence
and from expert testimony. Some people
some times are said to have delusions proceed
ing from temporary disorders and from mis-
takes in the senses.
or Christ, or God: or that he was inspired by
God to do a certain act, or that he had glass
limb, and these were cases of insane delufions
are generally that the deiusion conferred around
the patient himself, his rights or his wrongs.
1t came anc went independently of the exer-
else of the will and reason like phantasm of
a dream of the insane, in which there present
ed themselves to mind, IS real facts.
The most certain thing was that an insane
deluson was never the result of reasoning and
reflection was not generated by them and
was could not be dispelled by them. Man
might reason himself or be reasoned by others
into absurd opinions and be persuaded into
impracticable schemes but he could not be rea-
soned or persuaded into insanity or insane de-
lusions. Whenever evidence was found of in
sane delusons itewas found that the insane
deluson did not relate ito man, sentiment or
theory or abstract questions in law politics or
religion All these were subjects of opinion
and were founded on reasoning and reflection.
Such opinions were often absurd in the ex-
treme. Cox continued to speak at some length
and spoke until 4.45.

On motion of Mr.. Reed of Maine the Senate
bill permitting Associate Justice Ward Hume
of the U. S. Supreme Court to retire, was
taken from the Speakers table for present con-
sideration. Mr.. Reed explained the provis-
ions of the bill and yielded the floor to Mr..
Townsend of IIlinois-who opposed it-hrst, as
dangerous precedent; second, because he re-
garded it as reflection upon the high tribunal
to presume that one of its members would for a
pecuniary consideration be induced to do what
was his duty to the people to do.
Mr. House of Tennessee also opposed the bill.
After debate the bill was passed, 1877 to 80.
A majority of the Republicans voted in the af-

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Review of the Wholesale Market.


There are no important changes to report in the
wholesale market this week. Flour continues firm
and in good demand at full prices; at the West
the millers demand 25c advance. The strong tone is
caused by reports from the West, showing that the
crop of 1881 was In very. bad condition. hardly
any of the goods yet brought into the market being
equal to No 2, and much of the receipts grading
below No 8. The advance in Wheat the past week
has been about 1Oc. In Hroduce, Eggs have de-
clined to 22@24c. Sugar is firm at 9s4c for gran
ulated and 914c fol-. Extra G. Lard is strong ana

[By Associated Press.l
BDpEFoRD, Jan. pa paper upon the best
varieties of apples for the market was read by
W. P. Anterior of Hallowell, ia which were
discussed the merits of the red astrachan, early
harvest primate tetofsky for summer use.
Moses Wood grayenstein, Winthrop greening,
iameuse, &C., for autumn use. The Balwin,
Rhode Island greening, Northern Spy, Bell
Flower, &c., for winter use-placing them for
value much in the order as above The discus
sion following this paper was quite animated,
the Red Astrachan seemingly being.the favorite
early apple.
Quite lively discussion arose upon the mer-
its of the Baldwin. 1t was charged that this
tree was not profitable upon clayey soil, and
was liable to die during the winter. Others
claimed they had no such experience with it,
and distinction was made in the value of a
Baldwin tree when budded at the ground, and
when grated, sthe former practice being
the cause of many failures. The Northern
Spy was criticised as requiring many years
growth to produce good apples, the tree when
young often producing poor apples.
DR.. T. III. Haskins of Vermont, sent paper
upon insect depreciation and cracking of the
bark of apple trees.
A paper upon the culture of native grapes,
by W. w. Donovan, was read by Secretary
