LEGISLATION ON INSANITY A collection Of
the lunacy laws Of thr United States, England and
Ill. p, late president OF the Board Of Public
Gharities Of Pennsylvania; pi.l ,lle bound III law
The title of this book is concise indication
OF its contents and the name of the author a
sufficient guarantee Of its value. To the
lawyer, it matters little what his

ing, and the thoroughnesH with
which the work has been done
u exemplihed in the eight pages devoted to
Delaware. We find therein, inserted in itg
appropriate place and not chronologically, the
act passed by the Legislature Of 1888 with
special reference to the care OF criminals in
capital cases who have become insane after
conviction and before sentence, az well as the
other acts Of the same legislative scs.
sion, authorizing the confinement Of
lunatics from the lower counties in
the new insane asylum OF tLis
county, &c. It will be remembered
that the aforementioned act was an outgrowth
OF the Collingwood p. Hallett trial That
part OF the compendium relating to American
lunacy laws IL supplemented by COmpre-
hensiye synopsis Of the lunacy laws of Eng
land, Ontario, France, Germany and Russia,
and the report of the commission appointed
by Governor Hoyt in May, 1882, to examine
into the system for the care Of the insane IN
Pennsylvania and to inquire into the legis.
lation Of other states and countries upon the
same subject.
The following extract from a recent issue
Of the Philadelphia L.fCiger shows the esti-
nation in which Mr.. Harrison's book is held
by the legal fraternity MIR. George l..
Harrison's book, Legislation on Insanity
has been supplied, by request Of senators, for
the use of the French senate, which has ap-
pointed commission to revise the lunaoy
laws Of France. This is only one OF the
evidences Of the appreciation this val
liable compend has received. When
state legislatures meet again there
will be opportunity to show how
far the information furnished in
this form has worked among lawmakers.
Unless among those who have made the sub.
ject special study, it is astonishing how
much ignorance has prevailed heretofore on
the actual legal status and condition OF the
insane in the several states. There is no
excuse now, when every legislator can COM
pare the carefully-protected personal rights
Of the insane in few leading common
wealths and countries with the informa-
ton Mr.. Harrison has furnished to the citi-
zens of each state as to their own laws in
care Of such sufferers"

INDIAN TROUBL KS.
The Utes Cause Trouble in Western
colorado Several Killed.

DENVER, July 7.--Wllson Carlisls's
and Johnson's cattle camp in the western
part of La Plata county near the Utah
line were attacked by Ute Indians on
Jaly Sd. Charles Cook and Adolph
Lusk, employees of the cattle company,
were badly wounded, FIVE Indians were
killed aud number wounded.
The whites had IL horses killed and
100 stolen. The cowboys were driven of
their camp, their outfits burned and their
provisions carried away by the Indians.
Two Wilson boys, s aud 10 years old rode
20 hours without food or rest and arrived
at Durango Saturday night in an ex.
haustad condition.
The Utes have for some time been
causing trouble to the cattle men, killing
cattle and stealing horses. One OF Will
sons men found several OF the latter's
hOrsps in possession of the Indians and
undertook to serure the ssme. An
Indian ATTACKED him with knife and
was killed. This prscipitated the fsht,
Seventeen thousand head of cattle are
left at the mercy Of the Indians.
Col. Hall, ooInmandaut at Fort Lewis,
has dispatched company of cavalry to
drive the Indians back to their reserva.
ton. The Indians will probably reach
their reservation we'll supplied with
borsrs aud cattle before the soldiers can
reach them.

THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW for July is
a number which is particularly interesting to
lawyers and to all citizens who take an inter-
est in the progress OF our race in respect to
those institutions which concern its relations
growing out of its division into distinct
nationalities. Judge Robert @. Ptman dis
cusses the ancient right of trial by jury, and
Judge Noah Davis the subject OF Marriage
and Divorce" Both articles are worthy Of
thoughtful consideration and the subjects dis
cussed are 80 near TO our every day life and
CONGO 80 many of our dearest interests as to
be of universal interest. Prof.Nan Buren, Dena-
low upholds the protection theory in an article
on National Economics" The benefits of
"The Annexation OF Canada" are set forth
by DIR. 7. Bender. The symposium on the
Future Of the Negro has been quite fully
discussed in our columns and includes the
views Of Senators Vance and Morgan, Fred
erick Douglass, Joel Chandler Harris, Pro-
fessor Greener, Gen. Armstrong, Oliver
johnson and others. Other articles arc

De Voc, the New Jersey meteorological,
whose visit to the GAZETTE office Is re.
ported elsewhere, was little off in his
opening prediction. Monday evening sun
set was not livery red, I" indeed II was not
red at all but made up OF low, leaden
cloud surmounted by a mild, yellowish
glow. But it is his statement as to the
distance Of visible clouds to which
we wish to call attention. How
many readers have ever reflected on the
possibility that the faint cloudlet Just
visible above the horizon when the air is
clear may be $50 miles sway2 Yet II
that cloud ia floating at an altitude OF two
or three miles above the esrth's surface
there is no reason why it should not lie
be seen almost as readily as mountain
OF that hight at the same distance.
On Saturday night last we had good
illustration Of this nature. Low down in
the northern and northwestern sky hung
dark, murky cloud, seemingly almost
motionless. In length this cloud may
have extended over one-eighth or one
sixth of the cirouit OF the horizon, from
which it rose to hight Of 15c
or 200. Only by watching this
cloud for q considerable time could
IL bs asoertained that it was moving at
all +; yet it did not look to be more THAI
few miles distant. But ii was made
strikingly beautiful by the almost inces-
SAINT play of lightning over its surface
the lightning being generally in broad
sheets, but occasionally sharp Eigzag
flash shot esrthwsId, or, more
rarely, upward or transversely, With
a vividness that constrained the behoIdeI
to involuntarily brace himself against the
startling clap OF thunder which the flash
seemed to threaten. Yet the thunder
was either not heard at all here or, Il
occasionally heard, the sound wss so faint
as to be almost uncertain.
Many Of our citizens watched thit
electrical display with something o
fascination and speoulstsd over III,
locality Of the storm that was aoeyidently
raging furioGsly somewhere. Yet few
We presume, imagined that it was SO fsl
away as Lebanon, Berks and the northern
part Of Lancaster county, ss The telegraph
has since informed u.s. distance OF a
least 80 miles In 8 direct line from this
city.

After the samples of the somewhat
startling elasticity of the Rev. Henry
Wsrd Beeoher's orthodoxy to which the
country has been treated from time to
time, it surprises US to read of hi1 object
ing on scFiptural grounds to cremation.
We doubt II this method OF disposing of
the dead is ever destined to become
fashionable in this country and we con-
slider that there are very good reasons
against incineratioD, but Beecher is one
of the last men from whom We should
have expected to hear the resurrection
argument. He has driited long
ways from some old tenets which GER
tainly aeen to be as strongly Anchored by
the letter Of the Bible as belief in the
resurrection of the body ; but, even II he
feels constrained to hang on to the belief
that earthly skeletons will form the
framework Of spiritual bodies, We are I'M
able to See the force of his argument, un-
let's 1t means to imply belief on his part
that incarceration may render resurrection
impossible. II Beecher means to teach
such a doctrine ss this, he can hope for
myriads Of converts who would rather be
annihilatsd than risk their chances of
'eternal punishment. Let him not preach
this to newspaper men, however they
feel pretty confident Of being accounted
worthy to 60 into any future circle where
Henry Ward Beecher may be admitted.

We clip froni the Philadelphia Times
the following summary OF the work OF
the afst SESSION Of the Forty eighth Con.
srsss which closed Monday afternoon:
Among tho bills OF public Importance which
have BECOME laws are those reducing the
burdens upon American commorce, creating
Bnrean OF Labor Statistics, organizing and
fitting out tho expedition for tho relief OF
Lieut.. Greedy, establishing Bureau OF
Animal Industry and providing for tho sup
praaaion and extirpatOn OF pleuro-pnennlu-
mia and other contagious diseases among
domestic animals. The test oath act was also
repealed. Tho vicious habit OF attaching
Legislative provisions to appropriation bills
has been continued and among these are to be
found a law creating a BoUrd OF Pension APP
peals, providing for tho appointment of a
useless and costly Missouri River Commits
zion similar to that already controlling the
improvements of the Mississippi and restrict
ing the heads Of departments aud bureaus and
the public printer from printing any docu-
mont or matter not authorized by law.
Among the propositions defeated are to be
found the Morrison tariff bill making a hori-
zontal reduction of 20 per cent the admission
TO registry OF foreign built vessels and the
Joint resolution comforting upon the Presi.
dent the power to veto paragraphs aud items
from appropriation bills. Among the essen
italy bad measures defeated may be numbered
tho Hennepin canal job, the appropriation of
$3.50, 600 to purchase the concession for the
Nicaragua canal, the reference 10 the court
OF claims of all demands against the govern
mont arising under the eight hour law, the
reduction of the life Of patents from II tC
live years. A large collection of bills t
regulate the importation OF contract labo
