The following extract from the report
of the Hartford Retreat for the Insane car
ries its moral with it: 'bIrs. NJ, aged
A, mother of eight children, acute mania.
The husband, when asked if he could sug-
gest any cause for her illness, exclaimed,
with much animation, that he could not
conceive any reason. She is a most do
nestle woman; is always doing something
for her children; is dllrduS at work for us
all; she nerer goes out of the house, even
to church on Sunday; never goes gadding
about at the neighbOrs' houses, or talking
from one to another; has been one of the
best wives and mothers, and was dttedgS
at home" The superintendent, in COM
menting on this case, says: "rhis appre-
ciative husband could hardly have fur
nished a more graphic delineation of the
causes of his wife's insanity had he I'M
derstoOd them ever so thoroughly"
An architect in New York, speaking of
building material, says: ''Under the ra-
tional order of things, brick will survive
centuries without showing its age; but an
iron structure, under the best care, will
begin TO show the weight of years by the
close of its first century. The iron age
has gone by in New York. Ten years ago
it was at its height, as witness the blocks
of iron buildings in Mercer and Greene
streets and below Canal street. 1t was all
iron then. History is being repeated.
Now we are going back to first principles.
The first buildings of any Importance that
were constructed on Manhattan Island
were ofbrick, brought from Holland for the
purpose. You know of what they are made
by the old Washington Hotel and the old
Dutch Church, so lately demolished, when
they were well into their second century.
The brick in them was like flint, growing
harder with age, and the mortar was
cementad to it,"
The Art Interchange says: Gin order that
it may not be maintained that Miss Field,
no matter how situated, must necessarily
fail in business because she is woman,
it is well for me to cite one or two in-
stances that conflict with any such belief.
At Naugatuck, Connecticut, Mrs. Mary
Beecher is fOrewOman in department of
a shoe mandatory. She has two hum
dred girls in charge, with full power to
engage or dismiss. Although other de-
partments are in charge of men, hers is
admitted to be conducted the best. At
Williamsport, Penn, Miss +. u. Kelly
is proprietor of successful steam fixtures
mandatory. She was a boOkkeeper of
the former firm, which failed, she becom-
ing the purchaser, The President of the
National Rank at Raleigh, n. c., alsois a
woman. | might add to this list, but a
few are enough to show that women can
and do succeed in business, and that in
such efforts they are entitled to something
more than bOOrish Sneerss"

The Democratic Meeting Tonight.

Under the call Of the Executive Com
mittee, through its Chairman, the Demo-
cracy of Savannah will meet tonight for
the purpose of nominating Mayor and
Board Of Aldermen 10 govern the city
during the ensuing two years. The meet
ing is one of Importance to all who
are interested in the welfare of
the city. as il is more
than probable that those who are put in
nomination by it will be elected. Itthere-
fore becomes the duty Of all good citizens
to attend and see 10 it that men are nOmi-
mated who will honestly and economically
administer the city government.
II should be understood by those who
accept the nominations that they are not
selected for the simple purpose Of re-
wardihg their friends or Furnishing their
supposed enemies, but TO so administer
the laws of the city and manage its IL
nances that all citizens shall be treated
impartialIy. and that no moneys shall be
expended except for the public benefit.
For years past, under the old election
laws. the best of men, when elected TO Of
flee. to a greater or less degree, felt them
selves relieved of responsibility TO
their fell0W-citizens, as they We're
not indebted to them for their posi-
tions. but rather represented small
political clique. That day, We trust,
has passed away, and we feel assured that
the gentlemen selected tonight, and
who. we trust, will be 5riumphantly
elected next Tuesday, will consider them
selves the trustees Of their fellow citizens
in the EOrk of governing our city with
wisdom. justice and moderation. With
this object in view-the selecting Of the
men best qualified to represent the varied
interests of our city-let all the Demo-
cratic voters attend the mass meeting to-

Polytechnic Schools for Georgia.

A committee was appointed during the
recent session Of the Legislature 10 III
quire into the practicability of establish
ing a polytechnic school in the otaVe' anu
we suppose the inquiries OF the committee
will not only extend 10 the prOoaOle COST
NJ the organization and maintenance Of
the school. but also to the suitableness Of
locality. which will. in all probability, be
one of the most difficult points to settle.
should the Legislature, upon favorable
report of the committee at the next ses-
sion, make an appropriation and author-
ize the establishment Of the instltu-
ton. there will doubtless spring up
a dozen or more candidates for its loca-
ton. and not one, we venture to say
without many necessary qualifications
for the undertaking. This suggests TO US
that the labOrs of the committee might
we'll extend in another direction not con-
templated in the measure before the Leg
islature. so far as we remember, and that
is. as TO whether a system Of such schools
might not give greater satisfaction TO the
people. at large and better subserVe the
future interests of the state, than cen
tralized department merely, attached TO
the state University. To connect 1t win
the University, it seems TO US, would
not be favorable to success where
attendance can never be compulsory,
whether as single department with
branches or a system under its control.
The Agricultural College Department,
so-called. has not been a success under
the control of the University, and to cum
Der it now with a Polytechnic Department
will look like imposing upon good nature.
The branches of the Agricultural Depart
ment have been doing good service as
preparatory schools for the University,
but rs dgricHItUrdl instructors, some OF
them. at least. have not even risen to the
dignity Of a farce. 1t would be unfortu-
nate if the polytechnic school, so much
needed TO supply our machine ana other
works throughout the state with skilled
labOrers. should fall into the same line OF
action without regard to the object for
which il was designed,
To avoid these dangers the committee
might inquire whether it would not bet
ter subserYe the interests of both the state
and the University, to establish a separate
system or institution, cOmplinentlng the
University, Unnecessary, with the right OF
visitation. If a system is entered upon,
such schools may properly be located in
different sections, as they really should
be. in a great State Of such rapid growth
and variety Of industries, in order to cover
all cOnveniences of population and ap-
propriate all the advantages offered by
the State TO thepeculiarities of the institu-
tion. But if a single school is thought
preferable, to make it thoroughly efficient
the locality offering the largest combina-
ton Of favorable circumstances should be

The Volcano Slumbering.

The first touch of sectionalism that has
disturbed the present session of Congress
obtruded itself in the Senate debate re-
Gently upon the Fitz John Porter bill. 1t
was of short duration, however, and did
not provoke the savage taunts, jeers and
rejOinders which were wont to mark Con-
gressional discussions when the feelings
engendered by the rebellion were stirred
again into activity. In fact, the introduce
ton of sectionalism recently only served
to show how absolutely dead is that spirit
which once sYayed the opposing sides of
Congress and caused Il whirlwind of eX7
citement whenever appealed to.

The Tariff Jugglers.

The methods of these insincere tariff
thinkers are becoming more and more APP
parent. Between two or three tariff stools
the tariff revision is to fall to the ground.
The report of the Tariff Commission
wasn't high tariff enough to satisfy one
class. SO the House Committee of Ways
and Means falls to work to revise the re-
vision, on the principle that if a tariff is
a good thing at all the higher it is the bet
ter. The Senate Finance Committee, not
willing to trust the House on this subject,
have just prepared bill with an entirely
different schedule of duties.

EnLreatnal Ne1re-

1t has been too common to think that the
courts are entitled to peculiar exemption
from public criticism. 1t is time for an
enlighted public opinion to understand
that the true way to repress the license of
a dissolute press is TO steadfastly uphold
the right of honest aud independent jour
nalism to discuss freely all matters of
public concern. At bottom the liberty of
the people is involved in a common des-
tiny with the cause of a free press.

Versatile BENJAMIN.

PhttdQetphtd EFeSs.
Having won all the laurels he coveted
in the role of Hotspur, Governor Butler
edited Boston Saturday in the majestic
role of TimOn. He talks to his Atheniaps
much as his prototype to his repentant
fellow -citizens. The Governor loves the
commonwealth, and loves it none the less
that he has freely told its sins. He
exhorts his fellow-citizens to remove
all the stains from the States
escutcheOn, that it may flash
out as brightly as Ceur de Lions before
the dazZled Saracens. The General be-
comes picturesque as he mellows into the
consciousness of the victory he has won,
and it will not be surprising to see him
acclaimed, even by the dissidents of Bea-
con street, as the intellectual successor of
the Winthrops and AndreWs-for it is a
long dayIsince a Massachusetts Chief Mag
istrate could take such prOtean forms as
this remarkable man has already success
fully assumed.

There is interest and possibly mstruc-
ton in the notes, left at his death by
German physician, Of conclusions arrived
at during forty years professional expe-
rience. At least One-third Of the illnesses
among his patients were imaginary. But
he did not find it profitable to himself or
helpful TO his patients to destroy the illu-
sion. He made some of them genuinely
sick by telling them that nothing allied
them. iii health" he said, was 10 them
a matter of almost vital Importance. To
destroy the pleasing belief that they pos
sessed this blessing was an absolute cru
elty. All interest in life departed with
their fay0rite occupation of nursing them
selves, and their health became seriously
affected BIZ nervous depression" The
German physician is not an exception.
Your own doctor, in burst Of confidence,
might tell you of imaginary ailments
which have to be dOsed with something
harmless like sweetened water, and of vic
tins whose supposed sickness and dis
comfort are all that keep them well and
comfortable. The German physician also
came 70 the conclusion that weakly per-
sons live longer than strong ones, and
that a physical ''screw loose" promoted
longevity.
