TIE CRAZE OF FRY-PREsyDENT MAR
TIN FAN BUREN.

Several journals have published state
ments in regard to the grave of Martin
Van Buren which leave the impression
that the Kinderhook cemetery, wherein
the remains are deposited, Is uncared
for. This is mistake. The granite
shaft which rises above the remains of
the ex-President is imposing in appear
ance. 1t is true the burial lot is hemmed
in on account of its situation in the old
portion of the cemetery. but its sur
roundlngs are all pleasing. Within a
few feet, on the north side, is the Balm
family vault, erected at cost of Sl3,-
600, aid On the west the elegant monu-
ment of Peter G. Van Setback, who has
gaSex handsome ssm yearly for keep.,
ing the cemetery in order. On the south
and cast are Snyder, Balm, Burt, Beck
man and Laing Enclosures, with iron
railing and hedges Of evergreen, which
present an attractive LIBERALIZATION
Register.

NEWSPAPER CURIOSTTIES,

Managing editors are looking for the
following curiosities, which, when
found, will be made note of:
Some one that can write Of fishing
without referring to Isaac Walton.
A correspondent who refers to an ar
ticle In the paper. who read it Of his own
accord, and didn't have "his attention
called" to it.
A writer on free trade who can pro.
duce half column without the aid OF
"the Chinese WALL"
A theatrical critic who will not allude
to the "palmy days of the DRAMA"
A critic on art and music who car
write an article that persons of liberal
education can understand without tho
aid of at least two dictionaries.
A correspondent who writes of a sea
voyage without mentioning the sea as
running mountains high" or "a life
ON the ocean wave."
A financial newspaper article OF over
one-quarter column in length that does
not mention Vanderbilt or Jay Gould.

rs INSIyITY INCREASINGs

1t is common saying that an increase
IN the number of insane persons is one
Of the necessary results of the intensity
Of modern life. There is certainly
steady increase in the number Of inmates
ID asylums for the insane, an increase
greater than the growth OF population
would seem 70 warrant. For this there
may be several causes:
l. An actual in rease in the proper
tlon OF persons U unsound mind in COM
parison with the entire population.
2. A more general aud systematic
commitment of insene persons TO asy-
lums for protection aud medical treat
ment.
3. \ STEADY accumulation Of insane
persons owing to ;he better care Of the
insane an,! tic consequent lowering OF
the death rate OF such per. ogs.
Tnat the second aud third causes are
real and potent is aznply su%sai.ssa... llasss.- las.-
tln iati>iics Of ou. pniliic tiations.
Tha proportion OF insane persons at
large nniura'iy lniais'es with III. i'm
pro"ment and multiplication oi asylums
AID tie growing popular conviction that
neit!ier individual nor public we'll being
is fur;hered iIy allowing the insane togo
free, ulcared ;or and without medical
as,s.s.alce; and, as g natural result, the
number OF the insane In asylums III
creaSes pr 1poltiona!ly.
Accordingly We may have an increase
in the number of annual commitments
to asylums, rs we'll as in the number Of
permanent occupants, without au in
crease in Tie total percentage Of ill anity
in tie country.
Increased efficiency in the medical
treatment OF the insane may also seem TO
increase the number OF cases as well as
the actual number Under care at any
time. With unskiliful treatment many
cases of acute mania may result il speedy
dea.h or, what is worse, chroaic insani-
ty. In such cases the patien, counts lat
once. With better treatment the patient
is ultimately, often speedily, discharged,
apparently or really we'll. The disease
is liable to recur, however, and in the
course Of years the same rGtiont mey
have to be under treatalunts1 yerai times.
each time adding one to the st ..sties of
insanity.
Another fact which tells against the
theory that "h;gh-pressure" living tends
to Unhinge the mind may be found in
the source Of the larger portion OF tho
inmates OF insane nsylums. Therecords
of asyiums show that most of the insane
come, not from the busy professional,
mercantile and manufacturing classes,
but from those whose lives are monot-
onous round of petty drudgery, or, what
is equally killing, petty inaction. unfruit-
ful idleness and dissipation. Frivolity
probably leads more men and women to
the insane asylum than the hardest and
intensest pursuit OF mental or material
wealth. Scientific 4neficaa.

4 NOTE ON P0R9yG III.

L male beauty is rare throughout
Portugal says al English traveller,
"and OF that encouutcrcl in the port
wine capital the larger share certainly
pertains to the pcasantry of the enyi-
rons. at the principal theater Of the
city, after minute inspection of the
boxes, it is possible to count upon the
fingers OF single hand the few pretty
faces You VIII have succeeded IN dis
covering. and the process may be re-
peated night after night. Ladies still
go to the theater here in the old fush-
ioned sedan chairs, the unexpected ap-
partition of which, with their quantity
attifed chai'men, i'll one Of the more
ancient tortuous streets rele2ates one
back for at least century. These dimly-
lighted, long, narrow, winding thorough
fares would appear to be slightly danger
Gus at night time, Judging from their
being reSular!y lGtrolei by hemleted
horse guards With drawn swords, who,
from the SLOW pace at which they move,
have been irravercntly nieknamed tor
toiscs by tha Portuguese. Why the
latter haye given the naine of mussels'
to the guardians Of the peace posted
after dark with their loaded rifles at the
end of many of these thoroughfares is
less comprehensive"

Always go to church. 1t is splendid

COMMON COMPLAINT.

In copy of the Spectator, published
September, 17l2, we find the following
solution Of domestic problem
"Many ERE the epistles every day re-
ceive from husbands who complain OF van
ity, pride, but, above all, nl-nature, in
their wives. / cannot tell how it is, but
l think ! see in all their letters that the
cause of their uneasiness is in themselves.
and indeed l have hardly ever observed
the married condition unhappy but from
want of Judgment in the man. The
truth is, we generally make love in
style and with sentiments very unfit for
ordinary life they are half theatrical,
and half romantic. By this means we
raise our imaginations to what is not to
be expected lii human life and, because
we did not beforehand think of the Great
ure We We're enamored of as subject
to age, sickness, impatience or sullen-
ness, human nature is often impaired to
her rs her particular impelfeetion or de-
feet"

yH4T JOIN Wls YuINKfNG OE.

An Iowa paper tell of two lovers W no
were permanently separated by the in
terposition cf "cold cloud of realism"
Being freely interpreted this means
probably that they were not kindred
souls. The circumstance recalls the in
stance of romantic young lady who
had very fine head of hair. One even
ing, when her aflianced stood gazing
very inquisitively at it in the midnight,
she said, with much feeling, "John, are
you thinking that each one of these
hairs is like golden cord binding you
to happiness p "We,l, no." he an
swered, mechanically, 81 was thinking
what a nice mosquito-net they would

When both pipes were lighted Van
Klaes dictated his will, celebrated over
Holland.
After the disposal of the bulk of his
property to relatives, friends and hospi-
tails, ne dictated the following articles
81 desire that all smokers in the
country shall be invited to my funeral
by all possible means, newspapers, pri-
vate letters, circulars and ADVERTISE
ments. Every smoker who shall accept
the invitation shall receive lift of ten
pounds Of tobacco and two pipes, upon
which shall be engraved my name, my
arms, and the date Of my death. The
poor of the district who shall follow my
body to the grave shall receive, each
man, every year 81 the annfserpary Of
my death, large parcel of tobacco. To
all those who shall be present at the
funeral ceremonies, / make the con-
dition, if they wish to benefit by my
will, that they shall smoke uninterrupted
during the ceremony. My body shall be
inclossd in q case lined inside with the
wood of my old Havana cigar boxes. At

favorite pipe and box of matches, be-
cause 10 one knows what may happen.
When the coffin is deposited i'll the vault,
every person present shall pass by and
cast upon it the ashes OF his pipe"
The will was carried out. The funeral

OF smoke. Tie poor blessed the memory
OF the deceased, and the country still
rings with his fame.

1HE WAyDERIN0 JEW IN HULL,

Th1 Jew was born at Jerusalem, and
was ~ Trade Shoe Maker; when Our

fixioE being Weary and Faint, he would
hayehat down to-, Best at the Shoe
Makes Stall; but tiShoe- Maker came
70 tn Door, and, splitting in our Lords
FacsEbu him from the Door, say
ing, hat was no place of Abode for him
--OnFwhich Christ said, For this Thing
thou3halt never Rest, but wander till I

calleA the Wandering jew of Jerusalem.
Nov according to this saying Of Our
SaviGnr this Man had no
PowdS to return Home, but went about
2sfEssgg from Place to Place ever
Eit8e, eSsn INTO thts day. *=asi@s
Some Time since he landed at Hull in
Yorkshire, where DR.. Hall, taking him
for Cheat, caused him to be locked in
a Room all night; but next Morning
they Found the Door open, though
their Prisoner had not attempted to es-
cape. DR.. Hall sent for DIR. Harrison,
in order to assist him in the Examina-
ton of so remarkable Parsonage, that
they might he sure whether he was an
Impostor or no. They asked him con-
corning the breaking of the Locks OF the
Room i'll which lie had been shut up.
He told them, if they would attempt to
conhno him with chains, It would avail
nothing, human Force cannot contine
him whom the Almighty had sentenced
to want q resting Place. They
sent for Smith to put strong Chains on
him; bat they instantly burst asunder,
to the surprise Of Thousand Specta-
tors. Not being able to doubt any
longer, they sent for Painter, and had
his Picture drawn in which he looked
neither Old or Young, but just as he did
1,767 Years ago, when he began his
Journey. The King of France, hearing
of this, wrote for his Picture, which DR..
Hall accordingly sent him. He
is always Crying, and Praying, and
wishing to see Death; but that Ease
from his Laboring Pilgrimage, he says,
can never happen until Christ comes
again upon earth.

CHINESE BEDS.

There are two kinds of Chinese beds,
and both arranged Tor core blcte shut
ting in by means o: hanging curtains
and tapestry. The expensive kind Is
like sort of cage. having flat wooden
roof, just the size Of the bed proper,
supported at height of about eight
feet from the floor on four corner posts
and two intermediate ones. Then there
is. sort of frieze or entablature work
ftsshing aronnd horizoitaIly, abovo and
below. so that when you are in bed
you are safely penned in sort of cage,
and cannot possibly tumble out. The
carving on these beds is sometimes
very rich, and they cost much but the
ordinary and cheaper kind is made OF
two frames of wood, shaped something
like the skeleton of an old-fashioncd
"settle, which are stood up Oh the
floor, facing each other. A mattress is
placed on the projecting parts of these
frames, and couple of slight sticks
across the top; then curtains and hang
ings shut all in, and make it look as
pretty as the taste and money OF the
owner are able. Inside there is cotton
quilt laid on the mattress frame. The
occupant of the bed lies on this, having
little roll Of stuff for the head, and for
a covering a very thick cotton quilt.
