Unnatural Happiness.

'sThere is one of the happiest men in
the world at the present moment"
City Physician jackson sa' d as he en-
tofed, with the reporter, the avil on Tor
;he insane OF Bellevue Hosi ital, and
was most heartily greeted by a new m
mate of the place. Tie patient was
fine-looking man, in lined to stoutness.
with gray hair and beard, AID Il glow
In h S pleasant face. He was sifty-s,x
years of age, and the OILY peculia-isv
about his appearance was that he sttG-
gered 81 ghtly whenever he arose from
his seat. lie had been arrested for
pulling valuable flowers from c.ergy-
mars garden to make nosegays for his
wife, and he repeated the oaense until
he was sent to the City Phys elan tc
have his mental co dit on examined
1.-The happiest man nceiyable, = the
hysician re. Gated, ''and yet hopeleSsIy
insane"
He imagined that he possessed great
wealth, and that he could .lot do any
thing better than sre!d it in making
presents to erybod lie met. He had
lavishly squande ed money before his ar-
rest on worthless art;c'es, and at tho
moment he spoke he offered TO give
the physician 500 lust for coming 10
see him. imagining that he was a friend
on visit. lie also turned 10 the re-
Porter, with whom he shook hands MS
though he had been acquainted with
HIM for years. lie wound up the very ex-
aberant greeting by promis ng the re-
porter gold watch md god collar
button. Come a ain and | viii have
a little reception for YOU here" the
patient said as the physician went away.
What IS his specific trouble WAS
asked.
General pare3is," the physician re-
piled. lit has taken the 10 IN of sus-
tained elation, and for two years
that man viii be the ha ,piest
of mortals. Nothing in rational
existence could approach to the enjoy
ment he VIII perieace. But it viii
all end abruptly in complete mental
darkness and death. A gradual paraly.
SIS will attack his system and continue
until brain and limbs are iina,ly help
less, and he viii pass away like a burnt
out candle
General paresis,' he continued
''has greatly increased during the last
iecade. Formerly such cases were very
rare, and physicians would travel miles
TO witness and investigate the mental
phenomena of their condition. Now
they can find them in any asylum.
They live in a wild delirium Of joy,. and
,an readily be picked out OF crowd
Of lunatics by a lay visitor BY their ex-
:essiye and unnatural cheerfulness. 1t
would be fortunate thing if lunacy al
ways took the form of general paresis,
Tor an immense amount of suffering
would be saved the most unfortunate
class OF unfortunate beings. Sufferers
rom the disease are never violent,
simply boisterously jublant. They
5hink the whole world is their fr.eld.''

GOOD READING.-The "Youth's
Companion," with 100000 regular
subscribers, and having list of
contributors embracing many of
the best known and most popular
writer's in America and England:
having also the endorsement of the
press, the pulpit, and of the best
scholarship-hardly needs a good
word from us. 1t is the oldest paper
devoted especially to youth in the
country, and We may safely say il
is the best. An idea of its variety
and excellence may be given by the
statement that in a single year it
publishes more than 200 stories by
the most brilliant writer's, and more
than 1000 short articles of history,
biography, science, wit and humor,
gathered from the choicest sources
by the most skillful pens. All of
this matter is so judiciously edited
that, while entertaining it, is always
elevating and pure. The Compan.
ion is published at Boston, by Perry
Mason & Co., who will be glad to
send specimen copies to any one
writing for them.

a FRIEND TIT NEED.

While Louisiana's Democratic repre-
sentatives in Congress are exhibiting a
degree of supineness and Inactivity with
relation to the pending tariff contest
which has drawn unfavorable comment
from the organs of their own party, Sem
ator Kellogg is Distinguishing Himself by
all earnest effort to defend the interests
of our planters and laborcrs from the as
sault made upon them by the Eastern re-
ineries and Hawaiian monopolists.
Orr Senator has introduced an amend
ment to the tariff bill imposing an im-
port duty of u cents per pound on all
grades of sugar, five cents per gallon on
low grades Of molasses and 10 cents per
gallon on the higher grades, and pro-
poses to do all in his power to secure its
adoption. Even if he fails in this pur-
pose, the effect of his amendment will 10
doubt be to prevent any change in the
existing tariff at the present session Of
Congress, and under the circumstances,
the sugar producers Of our State will
justify and applaud such result.
Senator Kellogg has boldly thrown
down the gage of battle to the wealthy
retners and their powerful lobby, and
stands to-day rs tie representative par
excellence of the imporiled agricultural
interests of Louisiana.
