IssOMsIA AND INSANITY.

The rapid increase OF what is known as
Observation-Disclosures attracting the at
tention of the medical fraternity. The lit
erary and medical magazines OF the country
are devoting much space to discussion of
this question. 1t is an established fact that
wakefulness is the chief cause of insanity,
and scientific men cannot be more pro6tsbly
employed than in investigating the cause
and discovering the remedy. We have read
many of the articles recently published on
the subject of insomnia, and nearly every
writer concurs in the opinion that the dis
ease can be traced 10 mental activity and
bodily inertness. Reference is made to the
fact that soldiers on the march can sleep in
the rain on the roadside, while in camp there
Is much insomnia. 1t is only on Sunday
night that the laberer is troubled with sleep
Iessness. DIR. C. E. Page, of Boston, has re-
Gently published work on insomnia which
il likely 10 attract attention, be-
cause it takes q radically different
view of wakefulness from that which ordi-
nArily prevails. He make the startling as
sertion that instead Of sleeplessness being
the cause of insanity, insanity is the cause
Of slseplessness. He believes with DIR. Rush,
that "a dream is transient paroxysm OF
delirium, and delirium perpetual dream"
He says: "Not every dreamer becomes
insane, nor every persen who is distressed by
WAkeiulnsss; nor do all persons who dream
oioll or startling dreams become inmates of

remaining only dav. Then cutting about
The West India Isles she will make her way
TO the mouth of the Amszon, probably going
up the course of that great stream a couple
OF hundred miles. Then descending again
and paying visit to the Orinoco, the yacht
will steam on to Para and thence TO Rio de

passed. Buenos Ayres and Mentevideo will
be visited, aud then down TO the Straits of
Magellan; thence up the -Restern coast of
South America to Sas-ti-g9 de CnAi, Calico
and a possible stop at Lima If the country
is quiet; then to Panama, Mszatlan, and
perhaps an inland trip to the City Of

WASHINGTON, April 14-Capt. Ezra L.
Stevens, chief clerk Of the Indian Office, de-
livered lee ure here on Wednesday evening
entitled, Thirty Years "Reminiscences Of
Washington" In the course OF his speech
he related an incident in the history Of Col.
Bizsell, who was a member Of Congress from
Illinois before the war. Bissell was the
colonel of regiment in the Mexicsn war.
H was in Congress when JEFF Davis was in
the Senate. In a heated debate in the House
one day, Bissell was charged by a Southern
member with eowsrdice during the Mexican
war. Ii was said that Blsselps men had
turned TO run in GER ain battle, when Col.
JEFF Davis's regiment came up and
forced BissslPs back and swept them
toward to a victory instead of 3 defeat
Bissell made a scsthiug reply. He said it was
strange where his Southern friend had found
his history. The record would show the
direct opposite to be true. 1t was Davis's
regiment that was retreating. 1t was he

"Not to any great extent. II II has Epreau,

There is a feeling among Democrats that
they did not do the wisest thing possible in
electing Gen. Butler. Besides, Massachusetts
people are exceedingly conservative, and do
not look with favor on Butler exaggsra-

"Does he not make an active GOVERNOR
Decidedly active, but terribly inefficient.
In fact he has always been very inefficient,
always making a hue aud cry, and attempt
ing to do something which he was unable 10
accomplish"
"Does that apply to his military career?"
ut does. As a soldier, Gen. Butler was as
great a failure he is as a governor. A
| great deal is said about his good work at

"Do YOU believe that he will be nominated

interests Of the Democratic party TO nomi-
i nate him. He il tireless worker, down

: The truth of the matter is that Msssachu

Butler was elected by Republican votes, that
of course, is we'll known. Some 20, 900 o.
them were DESTROYS OF a change. Why they

they desired one. They obtained it. There
we're two classes OF people who ysted fel
Gen. Butler. One was composed Of III,
voters who desired change, the other was
made up of the lower classes. There is M

And we called him "Vinita jim"

And catching cows on spree.

And the guards stationed out on the trail.

Where Jim first "smelt the grass"
He rode missouri Dams" gray horse,

He did his "cut out" finely,
And rounded" into the "chute,"
And stood to throw his lasso
On a maverick galoot;"
But the old bull saw the lariat
And, throwing down his head,
He dashed his fly brush in the air,
And at "Vinita" sped.
Dan saw "vinita's'' danger,
With no time for delay,
Leaped down in the branding pen
Right in the wild bulls way,
Then yelled to Jim, Leap for the post,
And give yourself more room,
And will save the maverick" or,
GO up the golden Hume"
Just as the horns of the wild bull
Had touched "Vinita's" belt,
Dan aimed blow at his shaggy neck,
And sunk his knife to the hilt,
And the bull lay cold in the stock-pen-
And "Vinita's" eyes were dim,
When the cowboys cried " Missouri Dan
Has saved 'Vinita jim"
when each looked hard at the other,
And the boys saw with surprise
That each was using bis buckskin
To wipe the mist from his eyes.
And standing thus a moment
"Vinita" extended his hand
And said, "Henceforth We are pards, Dan
Put her right thar, old man."
We broke our camp next morning
And Jim bid us all farewell,
And took from his breast picture
OF a beautiful blue-eyed gal.
And said, Take this picture. Missouri

Who can never cease TO be grateful,

LIEUT.. oREeLEY's PARTY.
NO FEARS FELT AT THE SIGNAL OFFICE FOB



THEIR SAFETY.
WASHINGTON, April 14.-Reports have re-
Gently been published to the effect that much
uneasiness is lelt by officers of the Signal
Service and Arctic experts in this city with
regard to the safety of Lieut.. Greeley's me-
THEOLOGICAL station party, at Lady Franklin
Bay. There is danger, ii has been said, that
the relief expeditions, which is now being or
ganized, will fail TO reach Its destination, as
the relief expedition did last year; that
Lieut.. Greeley's party will be forced to re.
treat uuaided down the rugged coast of
Grinnel Land next winter, and that this en-
forced retreat may be as disastrous as that OF
Lieut. Com. De Long through the Lena Delta.
In order 10 learn what truth there was in
these reports, an Associated Press reporter
interviewed number OF officers of the Sig
nal Service on the subject, and found that
they were greatly exaggerated. They all say
that there is little or no danger oil such
catastrophe on the coast OF Grinnel Land as
that which occurred IN the Lena Delta.
De Long WAS in region OF whose
geography he was entirely ignorant, while
Greeley will he on a coast with which he Is
we'll scqusinted, and one whose outlines
have been carefully charted. belong had
no provisions 10 start with, while Greeley
will start with full sIedges, aud can resupply
himself at f1ur different places in a distance
OF 220 or $50 nautical miles. DeLong had
no assis anee or cooperation until 1t was 100
late to be Of any avail, while Greeiey will be
met by relief party acting under written
orders previously drawn up by Greeley him
self in view OF this very emergency. 1t IL
not true, therefore, Gen. Hszsu Gays, that
great anxiety is felt here with regard to
Lieut.. Greeley's safety. Even if the present
relief expedition does not succeed in reach
in his station this summer, he can retreat
next win,er to the headquarters Of Lieut..
Darlington, at Life-B5at Cove, and live there
in SAT " and comparative comfort until a
steamer shall have been sent for the COM
bined party next year.

MEMPHIS APPEAL
SUNDAY, -: APRIL Is, 1888.
cpImE NORTH AMI soUTU.


Every now and then dispute is carried
on among portion of the public press as TO
whether lawlessness and crime are most
prevalent in the North or in the South. Be-
sides its moral bearing the subject has very
practical side. Over large. part Of the
Union there is a desire 10 secure immi-
grants, and nothing is better known than
that immigrants, as rule, will avoid dis
tricts where it is reported that the laws are
go i'll administered that life and property
are unsafe. Il is therefore to the interest Of
such districts to obtain a good reputation in
this respect, and this object may be sought
TO be accomplished in TWO ways. The best
way oil course is TO administer the law with
an imPartislity and strictness that shall
secure general good order and repre's
outrage aud crime. Such a course secures
and maintains good reputation. Another
way is to strive te conceal crime, 10 hush up
enormities, to let the guilty escape rather
than expose their wrong deeds 10 the world,
especially if they are respectable" This
plan, which has at times been practiced, be-
BILE to exposure, and then the public think
more crime has been perpetrated than ever
existed, and the district so acting gets rep
utation far worse than it really deserves.
There is sometimes an interested misrepre-
sentation OF Se morals of a particular COM
munity, as when an emigration agent wishes
to prejudice emigrants against a section Of
country where they were intending to go, for
the purpose OF inducing them to settle where
it best suits the interests Of the agent. Polit-
icsl craftsmanship is another source Of mis-
representation, and a very frequent
cause oil wholesale distortion of truth on this
subject is what the newspapers call you are
another" This means that when one die
trict has been, Justly or unjustly, accused of
excess Of lawlessness, it retorts by showing
or attempting to chow, that the accuser lie as
bad, II not worse, than themselves. Amid
these and other sources of error the candid
mind often finds it difficult to know what to
think. One recourse in this perplexity is TO
refer to figures bearing upon this subject, ss
given in the United States census for 1885,
-s--- se from such local and disturbing
influences as are pointed out above. Such
figures We find ready prepared to our hand
in the Charleston Is. C.) Ners. The reader
will find them worth studious attention. In

Der of prisoners and the percentage of pris-
