The sly old gossip, Mrs. Grundy,
says in the New York Mail and Express
"That the girl Of the period has more
fun than she has prospects Of securing
a desirable husband that some & our
richest men have come TO the conclusion
that . yacht now is an expensive luxury !;
that the prospects for Italian opera next
season are said, by those who know, to
be az slim as Bernhardt: that women
who hare artificial compilations should
make it q rule to keep out Of sight in hot
weather That there seems AN u~naccount-
able predjudice against those quaint
gowns called Mother Hubbard; that
many Of the last seasons wedding were
evidently Of chs kind entered upon in
haste; that some women want to be told
that they are to old to wear the Tyro-
lean hat out doors; that a Of the BOTH
ers of the season 10 ladies u how to ar.
range the 'front.' hair over che s3Fcs; that
people who have country houses arojusl

The circumstances attending the
death OF the Dean of B~angor-albeit
they are infinitely acknowledgements
no novel features. The reverend gem
tleman was a man Of considerable intel
lectual power which is the same thing
as saying that he was constitutionally
liable to intervals Of mental depression.
All highly intellectual men are exposed
to this evil. al pendulum will always
swing just as far in one direction as y
does Ia the other. Great power OF
mind implies also great weakness under
certain conditions. The marvel is not
that great minds occasionally become
deranged, but that they so often escape
arrangement. Sleeplessness means MOI
merely unrest, but starvation OF the
cerebrum. The brain cannot recuper-
ate. or. in other words, it cannot rest.
Physiologically. Incorporation and rests
are the same thing. Sleep Is SIM
ply Psychological rest The only

that the blunder should v pc

VAULT BuKGLARN.

ST.. Louis. May a2.-The vault in
the city clerks Office was broken open
last night and everything IL contained
stolen. An attempt was made to blow
the vault door open with powder, but
this failed. The burglars then broke
two feet square through twenty-inch
wall OF the vault. Theamount of money
taken is not known, but variousiy
estimated at from one to three thou
sand dollars. A large amount of city
scrip, supposed to be nearly $4,000
worth, was also stolen. The city coun-
Gil offer reward of 81 900. The tools
with which the entrance to the vault
was effected were stolen from the black
smith shop ofPatrick Burns near by,
which leads to the belief that The rob
berry was committed by amateurs and
net professionals.
LATER.--It Is now ascertained that
the vault contained 100000 in city
scrip, about $l4, 900 in cash, Sll 600 OF
which belonged to the city clerk and
his brother, and the remainder to 9th
err city officials.

GALVESTON, May 22.-0ne of the
heaviest rain storms of the year Wis

cburped the waters of the bay until
the white-capped waves beat angrily up

In a lively manner. The force OF the
wind was sufficiently strong, 1t Is said,
to turn the current OF the
tide. The streets were inundated
In many of the residence portions OF
the city for squares, the streets and
even the sidewalks being submerged.
During the storm, the house of Mr.
Tim Cowen, corner of Thirty-seventh
and Avenue /. was struck by light
ming. the bolt striking and tearing
the roof, and then glancing off to
another house, which was not dam
aged seriously. Fortunately Governs

damaged, but this lacks confirmation.
