edward @. Chick, who is under
treatment at tt MorrIStown Lunatice
Asylum for VIII L is known as circular
insanity is C most extraordinary
character, remarked friedrich Jen-
kins, clerk of the Brooklyn Superin-
tendent of the Police a few days ago
to Herald reporter. HE has been
IN five different asylums, and escaped
from the MorristoWn institution,
where he has been since last October,
GA Friday last, having picked the
locks with an ingenious coptri-
vance fashioned out of tooth brush.
II have known him for a number
of years, and he invariably calls to see
me whenever he gets out. When [
saw him on Saturday telegraphed to
the doctor at the asylum and received
word to hold him TIL they could send
for him. His wife also desired that
he should be returned at aHy expense.
He has two beautiful children-a boy
and a girl-and his wife is lady of
refinement and education. His chief
delusion is that he can amass vast for
tunes, and another is that his mother
m-law and wife are plotting his des
truction and seeking to Illustrate his
business plans. He is a man of ex
cellent business address, and last sum-
mer prevailed on a wealthy resident
of Brooklyn to invest a large am
mount of money in Swiss wool-mak
ing company, which proved a COM
plete failure and dead loss as an in
| VeStment
"Some years ago Mr.. Chick was the
leader of the singing and musical
classes of the Young Mems Christian
Association, and it was not until he
astonished them by ordering a dozen
new pianos for the association-five
of which were delivered-that suspic-
ions as to his mental regularity was
| aroused in that quarter. He was an
advertising agent for Frank Leslie,
and lost $780, it is said, which he
had invested in the Aldine Publishing
| Company. When [ told him he
would be returned to Morristown he
said he would abide by the decision of
DIR. Shaw, of the FIat6ush Asylum, as
TO his sanity, DR.. Shaw, DR.. Corey
and Dr. Butler examined him, and as
the former physician, for whose opin-
ion he has the utmost respect, advised
him to return, he quietly agreed to do
SO.
Drawn on piece of paper which
he sent by the officer who took him
back was a picture of a coop and a
chicken going toward it. Beneath
were the words: Chicken going to
his coop at Morristown.' It is case
of hereditary insanity. His father
who was a clergyman at Rockbury,
Mass, and his grandfather, were both,
[ understand, insane"

A CanarV's Yankee Doodle.

In the rear of 339 Walnut street,
says the Philadelphia Press, hangs a
bird cage In the bird cage little
canary bird hoped about yesterday
afternoon waving an American flag
and whistling yankee Doodle" An
astonished customer leant in a condi-
ton of habbergast againt the lunch
counter and followed him with eyes
and mouth dilated.
1.-THE bird is worth $780," said one
of the store proprietors. ct is six
months old, aud was unsteady train
ed by a German. The German
played Yankee Doodle on a hand
organ every fifteen minutes for four
months, and from that time the
canary was an accomplished primo
Start the organ, George" he added,
speaking to an aproned dispenser of
beverage. The young man turned
the handle of a musical box arrange
ment, and it began whistling so like
the canary that neither the reporter
nor the fabbergasted customer could
at first tell which was which. 1.-THE
bird initiates 1t exactly" was the ex-
planatiou, but she had to be kept
shut up and was never allowed to
hear any other music for a long
enough time to make her tired of the
national anthem"
Occasionally the canary gets
''stuck" She goes half vay through
the sune and then shutters and found
ers. This is supposed to be caused
by the fumes of the surrounding
wine.

OyerWOrk That Kills.
Toledo Blade.


Almost daily comes the news of the
insanity or suicide of some prominent
person, and the verd ct each time is
that the cause was OverwOrk, result
ing in a nervous depression that drove
to self-kilIing or to a serious brain
trouble if not real mania. The miss
ing pastor in one of the leading
churches in Bridgeport, Conn, whose
disappearance has caused great excite
ment was found day or two ago in
New York City wandering along,
without an OvercOat, shivering with
cold and entirely out of his head.
When recognized he was on his way
to the dock, with the evident inten
ton of drowning himself. This is
only one instance among the many of
those who persistently Overwork
themselves until the physical system
gives way entirely and a life of use
fulness is married if not ended There
is no such thing as perfect recovery
and entire regalning of both physical
and mental strength after one such
breakdown. Comparative health
may return, but there is no longer
endurance. 1t is a ways easy then 10
bring back the old malady. In fact,
the trouble is to prevent its return.
People know this perfectly we'll
that is, that they know it is true of
every body else, but each one individ-
ually expects to escape. It is a good
deal with this as it is with using strong
drinks. No one believes himself IN
danger to become DIR Inkard, but for
the benefit of his neighbOS he thinks
the temperance war should be carried
on. There is not an OverwOrked
business man in Toledo who does not
think it a great pity that A did not
stop before he brOce himself down,
but as for himself he can stand that
sort of thing indefinitely, and he goes
on, winning the money possibly to
keep him as an invalid after his health
is lrretrievably gone. The prizes IN
life are very seductive, but if they can
only be won by intemperance in
work it is better to leave that sin I'M
committed and be content to work
with the multitude, or to 60 at a
slower pace. Strange to say, the
ones who are most guilty IN this dl-
rectiOn are they whose moral sense
seems most acute in every other.
They do not appear to realize that this
sin against the body is just as venial
as any other, that to ogerwork will
briag its bitter punishment as GER
tainly as rum drinking, and that
numbering ones own body is almost
as criminal as to murder that of his
neighbor.

peace had been studied by the people
of the earth. Many stories of his life
are familiar to every body, especially
that of his adventure in disguise when
flying from the invading Danes, when
the cares of state weighing upon his
oppressed mind led him to forget the
cakes which were intrusted to his care,
and brought upon him this reprimand
from the herdsman's wife,
mo wonder thou art a poor, house

Alfred was a Christian king, and
his harp was as dear to him as was
King David's of much more ancient
time; and David's Psalms were also
very dear to Alfred, who himself
translated them into English, and is
said to have constantly carried copy
IN his bosom. His harp was also his
almost constant companion; and it
was by it's means, disguised as trav
cling minstrel, that he at one time OBJ
tanned entrance within the lines of
his enemies, where they detained him
three days, SO delighted were they
with his music, and he thus obtained
information which enabled him to
save his country and his crown.
All these things are we'll known of
King Alfred; but it is not SO general
ly known that he was a poet and
hymnist of no mean order, besides
being the author of works of other
kinds, and the founder of seminaries
and of the University of Oxford. His
best known hymn is still to be found
in many church hymn books.

You may shout at your spIendor of spring.

More pleasure than some circus ring,

The ranchers in Arizona will re- member that during the last session of Congress the Democratic lower House passed a bill restoring to the public domain seventy million acres ol land in forfeited railroad grants. Among these grants was that of the Texas Pacific, which covers Sulphur Springs, San Simon and large portion of the San Pedro valleys in this county. The bill was sent to the senate, and that body, with the ser. vllity 10 corporations, which has ey-r characterized the Republican party, allowed it to sleep until Congress ad journed. dad the Republican Senate been governed by the desire to further the best interests of the people, which influenced the action of, the lower House, the bill would have become a law, and the farmers in the sections mentioned, who now hesitate to put substantial improvements upon their properties for feag. of their eventually falling into the capacious nav of some rascai'y raiIroad. monopoly,

ARiZONA's FIRST FAIR,

We clip the following from the Phenix Herald in regard to the first fair to be held in Arizona:
 "rhe Board Of Director to-day col . cluded terms with Mr. C. II. Gray for eighty acres of land, and worh will be commenced at once in prepar aion of the grounds. The fair will be cid some time in October, tn, exact day not yet being settled upon, and is bound to be success. The people are invited 10 make colIec. ,Iol,s of ffuly, grain and everything "Aich they wish to disEiJy. Accom- modations will be ployided for stock of all kinds, poultry and the like, and the premium list will be published al as early day as possible.
 "Mr. John Montgomery has gener- ously offered the light of way through his land for q road to the ground di- rectly from the southern line of Phe- nix. and MT. Gray will open another road in from his place. The grounds are beautifully located on the banks of the river. A fine exhibition is anticipated"
 This IS but the dawning of brigh, era. Arizona has the natural re sources, which are being utilized by a class of people of life and energy, who are not slow to make the most of them. The fair IS a grand institution to bring people together, to exchange ideas and offer suggestions, thereby being mutually benefited.
