EVERYBODYs CRAZY.
The Whims of the Insane and the Insanity
of Persons thought to Be Sane.

DIR. Ball, in q recent lecture before the
Paris Faculty of Medicine, argued that
the number of persons perfectly reason
able on all points throughout the entire
period of their existence form but q
minority of mankind. The world
abounds with people, he tells us, whom
a strict scientific diagnosis would CON
denim as mad, or more or less .'touched;''
vet at no time of their life would it be
permissible to put them under restraint
And the lecturer gave numerous in
stances of what he calls 1.-THE tyranny of
fixed idea" among persons ordinarily
rational and supposed to have control of
their faculties. One sufferer, he says,
feels an unctuous sensation all over his
body, and takes it into his head that he
has been dipped in grease Another, a
studious, intelligent young man, is
obliged to give up reading altogether,
because each time he turns over a page
he imagines he has skipped a leaf.
Back he is obliged to 90 again, and
again the fancy returns and so he never
makes progress: DIR. Cabade had once
patient whom he described as an eX-
cellent man of business, who neverthe-
less found himself unable, though free
from the slightest physical weakness, to
peform some of the simplest acts of
daily life. He could not cross the
threshold of his door without being
pushed from behind He could not rise
from his chair without calling for help.
In the street his progress was liable to
be stopped at any moment by some inn
-aginary obstacle, which no effect of the
will would enable him to cross. Every
one numbers among his acquaintance
some one who never tires of talking OF
the imaginary ailments from which he
is suffering. Many medical student
has been driven half crazy from fancy
ing that he had himself the symptoms of
the different diseases which his books
described. Perfectly sane people suffer
from Authorizations of one sort or other.
Lelorgne de Savigny was afflicted with
visual hallucinatIon, which was of so
painful a character that he at last shut
himself in a perfectly dark room and
passed the remainder of his days there,
having failed of obtaining relief in any
other way.

Mr. Smalley writes from London TO
the New York Tribune that the English
mission of Louise Michel, the notorious
French Communist, has proved a total
failure Herr Most has had the same
experience in America. Every dog has
his day, but the days of some dogs are
very short.
a calculation shows that Dundee
spinner must spin sixty miles of yarn
to earn s. Almost any country store
can produce men that viii spin longer
yarn for nothing.

AS Queen Elizabeth, attended by Sir
WalteE~Raleigh and a retinue of gilded
courtiers, was one day walking through
the streets of London she came to a par
ticular muddy spot, which she hesitated
to cross. Raleigh was about to throw
down his cloak before her in order that
she might cross dryshod, when he re-
flected that it was of costly velvet Law
ishly ornamented with old lace, and so
would infaIlibly be spoiled. According
", with great presence of mind he
whispered loudly to Sir Christopher
Hatton that he had always contended,
and would with his heart blood main
tain that her majesty had the smallest
feet and neatest ankles in the world,
and that the calumnious report that she
wore elevens was a malignant invention
of the Spanish court. Nor did the ruse
fail of its effect. as the Virgin Queen,
lifting her royal skirts with almost ex-
aggerated enthusiasm. went through the
puddle with characteristic resolution,
and halting on the farther side shook her
scepter under the nose of the Spanish
ambassador, demanding of the aston
ished diplomat, with royal oath: '.Are
they elevens, you Romish' dogP Are
they elevens?' -G. z. L. in Life.

One of the most heartily applauded
actors in a modern society drama is a
cat, which comes ON the stage, stretches
herself washes her feet, lies down be-
fore the fire, and placidly laps the saucer
of milk which is set before her. She
has been shut up all day in box toe
small for her. and too cold to he com.

County Jail antl Almshouse,

Interesting religious services took place yesterday at both of these institutions Mrs and Miss Taylor and the Misses Dyer and Messrs.s Kenneday and Dickinson furnished excellent music at the jail, and were invited by MT. Seeley to aid at the praise service in the almshouse an hour later. MT. Seeley interested the prisoners by his comparisons of the life of Pharaoh and Peter to the peo- pie of the present day who exhibit the same human nature. Mir. North, the chaplain, took his text from Second Kings, second chapter. twenty-third verse. 'aThers came forth little children out of the city.'s There were 8 number of little boys in jail who went forth from this city last Sabbath and at other times and were detected in robbinQ gardens and stealing fruit in adjoining towns. They were convicted, fined and their parents being unwilling or unable to pay the same, these boys have remained in iail all the week. Mir. North said the people who at great expense had bought land, planted their gardens and cultivated their fruits, were greatly in earnest in pro- tecting their rights under the law, and boys, whether they consider it a sin or not, or en- couraged by parents or not, must expect the penalty of the law for it's violation. The address was calculated to magnify the 1mpor- tance of small sins and the evils therefrom. It is hoped that boys and their parents will be more careful to avoid the occasion of fus ture punishment. The almshouse people were delighted with their service. Mrs. and Miss Taylor gave readings and recitations and the Misses Dyer sang solos which capti- vated their hearers; which with the other services made the occasion @ happy one. It in wonderful how clean and neat the jail and alnnshouse are kept with so many occupants. The uniform health speaks well for the man. egement.

Killed by Lightning.
Terrible News to q Former Resident (
 New Haven.

Terrible News to q Former Resident of
 New Haven.
 About o'clock last evening message was received at the police office from Chief of Police Ford of Meriden requesting Chief Webster to ascertain if E. J. Miller, light nlng rod dealer, was in this city. It was stated by Chief Ford that MT. Miller was probably stopping with Samuel Barnes, also that MT. Miller's two sons had been killed by lightning at Lincoln, Nebraska. It was found by reference to the directory that there were two Samuel Barnes in the city, one living at 20 Warren street and the other at 155 Goffe street. The police on those beats were instructed to inquire for MT. Miller. At Samuel H. Barnes in Warren street it was found that MT. Mil Ter had been stopping at his house, but left there on Friday last for Westbrook. Subse- quently he went to New London and from there he went to some town in Rhode Island, but the name of the town could not be as certained. It was learned that MT. Miller formerly lived in this city, and about year ago removed to Colorado. The boys names were Robert and William and their ages were Il and 13 years respectively. The father of the boys was on a visit east and will be shocked when he learns of the sudden and untimeIy death of his two sons, who are said to have been bright lads.

A Storm Encountered or New Bedford From Our Special Correspondent.
 COTTAGE CITY, Aug. IF.
 Yesterday was red letter day for the squadron and the quiet restfulness of to-day is everywere welcomed The fleet left New port with strong, fair wind, the Wild Ducks followed by the Louise. Happy Thought, De- fance, Zephyr and Marguite, laid course fer Robinson's Hole. This passage it is gen. orally thought is best to avoid, and though further that through Quixe' g Hole is safer. This the rest chose after getting Into Vine yard Sound; and hauling on the wind reef ing was imperative. All except the Star light came to anchor to reef. She, however, by excellent handling got herself in shape while forging along, by which she took first place at the finish, followed sharply by the Duck and at lengthening intervals by the Ferguson, Marguerite, ,Endeavor and Thought. The Zephyr and Defiance laid over at Rob- inson's Hall; the Louise, Wayward and Flora at TarpauIin Cove and the Acme at Woods Hole. The storm still rages, yet the Flora made the run across to-day very cred itably. The Ferguson and Happy Thought carried away the rigging and the Zephyr her topsaiI. We will probably lay here in Edgar town to morrow. The programme is not laid out regarding the return to the west ward J. G., JR.
