One of the reasons why more women go
insane than men may he gathered from
this ease given in the report of the Hart
ford Insane Retreat: "Mrs. Nj, aged
forty-four, mother OF eight children, acute
manila" The husband, when asked if he
could suggest any cause for her illness,
exclaimed viii. much animation, that he
could not conceive any reason. "Shc is Il
most domestic woman; is always doing
something for her children; is always ut
work for us all; never goes out of the
house, even to church OH Sunday; never
goes gadrllng about ut the ncighbors'
houses, or talking from one to another;
has been one Of the best wives and moth
crs, and was always ut home" The SUI
perintcndent, commenting on the case,
makes this pungeiit REMARK: "rhis ape
preciuliyc husband could hardly have
furnished a more graphic dclineation of
the causes OF lis wifc'S insanity had he
understood them ever so thoroughly

FREE TRADE.

The St. Louis Republican, puts forth
this sensible article touching the use of
term which is generally misunderstood
by a large portion of readers:
THE term free trade is an expression
which, as Faithfully applied to the demo
cratic. party, is well understood by all
intelligent persons. The kind of-1rade
the democrats want is free in the same
sense that this government is free.
Nobody means by the term free govern
ment which places no restrictions on
conduct. What is meant by the phrase
is a government with no more restrictions
on individual conduct than arc required
for the good of the whole body OF society
no more than the conditions of asso-
Citations make necessary. So by free
trade it is meant that there shall
be put on commerce no more restrictions
and taxes than the actual need of the
government requires. There have been
some people who have favored an entire
abolition of the customs system and
reliance upon direct taxation for all
needed revenues, just as there have been
advocates of natural society, without
any laws of restraint whatever. But
those who favor rational system, in
general way called free trade, no more
favor an entire abandonment of customs
taxes than lover of a freedom in govern
ment favors abrogation of all laws and a
return to natural society Free trade and
free government are comparative terms,
and are 50 understood by all intelligent
inquirers As the English government
styled free trade government collects
from customs an amount of revenue quite
as large as the United States will require
after few years of debt payment and
reduction of pensions, so it viii be easy
to bring the tariffs in this county
down to the limits sought by the most
pronounced democrat. There is no
party in the United States seeking free
trade. pure and simple, or any system OF
duties which will not give important and
material protection to many industries. y

MULE RIDING IN LONDON.

Burlington Hawkeye-
The lates fashionable craze in London
is mule riding. 1t will never become
popular in America. We haven't the
right kind of mules The American
mule won't stand any society nonsense
Nobody would attempt to ape this
English craze except the dudes, and the
average mule knows SO much more than
the dude that he, the mule, would ride it,
the dude. And he, the mule, would rub
its legs, the dudes legs, against the
fence, and when he, the mule, booked, it,
the dude, would shoot over his head, the
mules head, that is and ahght on the
place where its brains, the dudes brains
would be if it had any, SO that the custom
while atfOrding the dude excellent eXerci-
Sc, would not give it much pleasure.
Egyptian mules, such as the Ehglishmen
use, may do well enough for this gayety.
but the American mule, whether from
Colorado or Kentucky, is too abrupt in
his habits and spasmodic in his gait to
be trusted with any snch fashionable
frivolitv.

the Best carries on the nOhois'
At the great Centennial Exhibition of 1876, the
leading products of all the branches of the Worlds
Industry were assembled at PHILADELPHIA. To carry
of prize in the face of that tremendous compe-
tition was task of no ordinary difficulty lnVen-
tons and preparations for the alienation of pain
and the cure of disease were present in the great
est possible variety, representing the skill and
profoundest study or the age, and it may be of
vital importance 10 you, personally, TO know that
the highest and only medal given to rubber Pc
rous plasters, was awarded to the manufacturers
of BENSON'S POROUS PLASTER, by the fol
lowing jury:
DR. WIN RoTH, Surgeon General, Pussian Army.
j. II. THOMPSON, A. M, NJ. D., Washington, DC.
c WHITE, NJ D., New Orleans.
ERNEST FLEIscH, NJ. D., Austria.
The decision was afterwards confirmed by the
medical jury at the last Paris Exposition. Know
in the value of such high and unbiased testimony
the medical profession, both in the United States
and in Europe, qackly threw aside the old, slow
acting plasters they had been using, and adopted
Benson's in their regular practice. That physi-
Clans and surgeons of the broadcast reputation did
this, distinctly proves the intrinsic merit of the
article.
1t is no more than just to add that the average
physician Of to-day is not dominated by the pref
udices which retarded the progress and modified
the successes of his predecessors of not more
than twenty five years ago. He accepts hints
from all quarters and endorses and adopts demon
strated healing agents wherever he finds them
The right of Bensons Capcine Porous Plaster
to stand at the head of all external applications
whatsoever, for the mitigation or cure of disease,
is no longer questioned.
Let the purchaser however, be on his guard
against limitations. The genuine has the word
