INSANITY in New York, according to
statistics just published, is steadily in
creasing. The number OF patients on
Wards Island has augmented from 20 to
% per cent. during the year just closing,
and the other asylums also show q marked
increase over the year previous. The main
cause of this growing mental instability is
said to be the rapidity of living of the
average New Yorker Life is too short to
live it hurriedly, especially when the
result OF this conduct is mental infrmity.

the charge Of sectionalism in the forma.
tion of his committees. While it is true
that the larger number of Democratic
members from the South gave that sec
tion considerable share of the chair
manships, 1t is to be noted that in the
more important committees there is
nothing to warrant the insinuation of
bias agaist the North. OF the IS mem

Another Old Citizen Gone.

Wednesday evening January II,
1888, Judge Richard Welcome
Turner died at his residence two
miles from this place, of pneumonia.
Judge Turner was born in
Georgia, August %, 1880, and at
the date of his death was in the SD
year of his age. He was first ad-
mitted to the bar at Forsyth, Ga,
and subsequently moved from that
State to Homer, in Claiborne par
ish. He was admitted to the Loui.
ana bar in 1858, and located at
Bellevue in the fall Of 1857, where
he has continued to reside until the
day of his death, standing at the
very front rank of his profession,
and always enjoying a lucrative
practice, zealously deyoting himself
to the study and practice of his
profession, winning by his vigorous
toll, pleasant jovial compan,onship,
and genial disposition host of
friends-in fact, all with whom he
associated. Thus he lived until the
s'war trumpet" sounded its peal of
doom over our dear sunny land, un-
til desolation was brought upon our
fair plains and peaceful firesides.-
The war came on. The Code was
exchanged for the sword, and in
September 1862 he was elected
Captain of the "Vance Guards" of
this parish-following, as Captain
of a Company and Colonel of the
18th Louisiana Regiment--the Stars
and Bars at Shiloh, Chicamauga,
and through many dire conflict,
nObly illustrating Louisiana valor
and bravery. He stood calm and
reserved amid the thickest of dan
gers. He heard the shrieks and
groans of his falling comrades, and
saw them direct their last gaze upon
| the almost victorious Southern ban.
ner. Yet he flinched not. Although
always fond of jokes and fun, there
was beneath all that mirth and gay
ETY. heart that no peril could daunt.
That sparkling, laughing eye could
look into the face of death without
a culver.
After the war Judge Turner re.
turned home and resumed the prac-
tice of law. In 1872 he joined the
Republican party, which act was
much regretted by host of warm
personal friends and old army asso-
ciates. He served as Judge of this
Judicial District from the Spring
of 1873, until the taking effect of
the new Constitution in 1879. He
was regarded By the members of the
profession who practiced before him,
as an able jurist and efficient Judge.
The Shreveport Standard just says,
che was regarded as one of the
ablest jurists and most efficient
Judges who ever sat upon the bench
in North Louisiana"
| A good man and useful citizen
has passed from time to eternity
In the death of Judge Turner, this
parish has lost most capable and
successful citizen, justly esteemed
for his great business qualifications
and superior intelligence. He was
indeed, "the poor mans friend" and
his relatives and many friends in
this parish and all over the State
will long cherish his memory and
mourn his departure.

the freshness that comes from personal obser-

The funny man Of the New York
Times thus tells how the Yankee
boys are taller than the boys of the
south. Gin countries where apple
trees abound small boys are tall, as
IN the New England States. In
countries where apples are scarce
and melons abundant, as in most
southern countries, small boys are
smaller than they are elsewhere.
The reason is obvious, in New
England the constant effort to
reach upto an apple tree Dough. and
steal a few apples, stretches the
small boy to his utmost height,
and as this process is constantly
repeated, the small boy becomes
elongated, or, in other words,
grows tall. In the Southern States
the act of stealing melons requires
the small boy to bow down in or.
der to inspect and pick his melons.
Consequently he is rarely stretched
to his full height, and, Of course,
does not become as tall as the BOYS
of the apple growing regions

At a meeting Of prominent Re
publicans, in St. Paul, last Thurs
day, the political situation in Min
nesota was very generally discussed
and the unanimous conclusion reach
ed that all the present State Off
GERS, with the exception of Lieut..
Governor Gilman, would be renom-
mated by the Republican State
convention in June. For the office
Of Lieut.. Governor, State Senator
A. E. Rice, Of Kandiyohi county,
seemed to be the favorite with a
majority Of the gentlemen present
at the conference, and appearances
indicate that he will enter the con
yention with a large following;
but whether he can command
enough votes to secure the covet-
ed prize is a matter that tie con-
vention alone can decide. South
ern Minnesota, in the persons Of
Hon. Fl. G.. Day Of Lanesboro, and
State Senator Morrison of Roches-
ter, has two formidable candidates,
and if combination should be
made OH either Of the two there is
no telling the outcome. Gov. Gil
man also has his friends, and they
do not take very kindly to the pro-
posed summary shelving of their
chief. Altogether, the prospects
for q unite and harmonious convon.
tion are ]essening every day.
