The Nightingale's Last Song.

During the last eight years Mrs. Ben
nett, of Caanan, in this State, has owned
a beautiful Virginia nightingale. She
named il Bob; and when in an adjoining
room she said dob, do you want fyp"
the bird would ruffle its feathers and
respond with a whistle. or some little
note, manifesting his delight, which his
mistress understood. Last August Bob
had fit. lie rolled over on his back
stuck up his legs. His mistress was
alarmed. She soaked his feet in warm
water, gave him pepper corns and little
aconite pills. He revived little, sitting
upon his perch solemnly and stupidity.
His plumage was not so smooth rs for
merly. His sweet notes no longer
charmed the household. Not note es-
capped his throat for three months. Old
age had mastered Bob, and pepper-corns
could not rouse him to the singing pitch.
But one day in November. after three
months of sickness and silence. Bob sud
denly broke out in full tune, and he sang
his old notes over again. Mrs. Bennett
SAYS in his best estate the bird never
sang more sweetly nor cheerily. Full.
musical and lively was every note; and
she was delighted at what appeared to
be complete recovery of her pet bird.
But the moment he had finished the last
of his round of notes beautifully and
sweetly. Bob termed over upon bis back
and died. -HfrJord Times.

A Curious Case of Insanity.

A remarkable story reaches us through
the French journals from upper Garonne.
1t is drawn from the judicial proceed
ings before the Assize Court of that de-
partment and turns on an old device,
SO often employed by criminals-an-
an affectation of madness. In this case,
however, we are asked to believe that
the man accused of robbery, has become
insane through Stimulating insanity. His
name is Fourtane; he possesses enor-
nous physical strength, SO great that,
having many times broken his bonds,
he was at last heavily ironed and ex-
amined in the prison as he stood"
From that moment he persisted in
silence. and pretended to be lunatic;
but three doctors examined him, and the
result of their inquiry was that the APP
parent mailman was pronounced an i'm
poster. As he had to be brought into
court unfettered, extensive preparations
were made in order TO suppress at once
any outburst of ferocity which he might
display. A squad of gendarmes was not
thought enough, and picket of infantry
supplemented their civil brethren.
Nevertheless, when Fourtane entered the
court he was as quiet rs n lamb, indulg-
ing only in few aimless gesticulations.
The question arose at once, was he II
consumate commedisn or q genuine
lunatic? and SO profound were the doubts
raised that the court ordered Fourtane
to be subjected to fresh examination by
three more doctors. His case was
separated from that of his comrades in
crime, one of whom was convicted, and
the medical gentlemen will have to de-
termiue whether Fourtane is an accom-
plished actor or whether the outcome of
his unrestrained passions has made him
really mad. The court is. plainly puz-
zled by the supposed malefactor. Lon

Defiance From Utah.

The semisannual~ conference of the
Mormon Church, which has just
been held in Salt Lake City, was
the occasion Of many turbulent
speeches by the Apostles and other
leaders. The tone of the Church,
as represented by these speeches,
could hardly have been more de-
faint in tue days when Brigham
Young was fighting President Buch-
anan's troops. The keynote ofthe
Conference was the determination
to stand by p%olygamy, and to resist
by all means the EdmundS law,
the constitutionality of which Is to
be tested. One of the Apostles took
care TO express his contempt 1or
Mormons who had put away their
| surplus wives after the passage OF
the Edmunds law.
1t is true that the law failed 20
deprive the MOrmons of b power
| to control the recent elections. But
probably no II who had given the
subject careful attention expected
it to do so much at once. It dlS
franchised all avowed polygamists
and to that extent, at least, MADE
the practice odious. The Centres
whose hatred of MormOnism has
some politics liz it, are Impatient

claim that this "persecution' has

New Divorce Doctrine.

-<
w. HI. III. Murray delivered q Ice
ture at Chickcring Hall, N. T.,
Sunday evening, on American u
vorce." One of the main points taken
up by Mr.. Murray was that the cues
ton of divorce was not an eccleslasti,
cal one, except when it concerned
church membership. Broadly looked
at the subject was civil and social,
but not religious. The question then
arising a What was the aus OF
the multiplicity of divorces! Ihe
ecclesiastical party claim that it can
be charged to liberal legislation. Mr..
Murray's claim was that the llberallty
of legislation had nothing to do with
the question, save that it supplied
ample evidence that great marital I'M
happiness existed. This was shown
by the fact that in those States IN
which divorce legislation was very
strict, divorces multiplied Just as
fast as in those where the law was
| more liberal. Another assertion OF
the church party was that the great
number of divorces tended to cor
rupt public virtue. This, the lecturer
claimed, they did not do. If such
were the case those countries were
| divorces could not be obtained
should show a higher standard OF
morality than those in which they
could. AS examples of the falsity of
this reasoning Mr.. Murray compared
Mexico an France with the United
States and England. There were
more divorces granted in New En-
| gland than in other section, but was
that the most immortal part of the
| United States2 Stated broadly, he
said, the true cause of the multiplied
ty of divorces was the individualiza-
ton of modern society, and especially
the elevation and emancipation OF
women, who, from the place of beng
reckoned a cipher in old civilization,
had come to be regarded as a unit
in the new. The remedy for the evil
was to be found not in any spasmo>
die effort to change legislation, but
in the movement itself. The
new civilization, which had wo-
man as full factor in it's forces
would not by any means degen-
crate into license.

Contraction.

The report Of the comptroller of
the currency shows that the calling
of The 3 per cent. bonds has already
caused y slight contraction of the cur
rency, for The value Of national bank
notes outstanding now is about 3d.
10000 less than the value OF those
outstanding one year age. 1t the
government shall continue to call
these bonds a much greater c%ontrao-
ton will inevitably take place before
the current fiscal year. 1t IS prob
able that many plans will be PRO
nosed 10 the next sig months for the
preservation Of the national banking
system and for the p%reyePtlon OF
rapid contraction. Il is already sug>
gesfed that the abolition OF the tax
On whiskey and TOBACCO would res
lIeve the banks by cutting down the
surplus, but, says the New York
Times, it is not probable that the
banks will ppjle with the u~ltra>pro>
tectionists and the smoopshiners, IN
support of q proposition OF Inns
kind.
