INSANE DRUNKARDS.

rhe Secret Explained of the Apparent
Mysterious Alterations of Character and
Conduct.
In an article on '1nebriate Mani
acs," by L. b. Crothers, M. D., in the
Popular Science Monthly, there occurs
the following, which has u local inter
est, from the extraordinary testimony
given in the Tracy will case. We sug-
gest that careful study of the whole
article might prove profitable 20 some
OF the medical profession: Hardly
year passes that bank defaulters,
forgers and swindlers do not appear
among men whose previous character
has given no intimation of such a
career. When their secret history is
ascertaincd, the use of alcohol, opium
and other drugs is found to be COM
mon. Another class of previously rep
utable sane men suddenly commit
crimes against good morals. Tie I'M
usual boldness of their acts point TO in
sanity, and it is then found that they
are secret or open drinkers, using al
cohoi or compounds of opium. Such
men come into politics with most in
sane ambition for office and childish
delirium to appear in public as great
men.
"rhey often become enthusiastic
church and Temperance men, acting
along very unusual lines of conduct
and doing unusual things. Signs of
mental failure are clearly traced in the
childish credulitv. or eXtraor linary
skepticism, or extreme secretiveness.
which are all foreign to the history of
their past Then, at last, such men
leave strange wills with strange be-
quests. They are contested; the expert
is called in; and while he is certain of
insanity and responsibility of the
testator from the history, he can not
make it appear clearly to the court.
These cases are more or less familiar
to every one, yet the history of drink
ing or using narcotics is concealed. In
an instance of recent date, the will Of
a very rich man contained a large be-
quest to the Freedman's Bureau. This
was Il very strange and unusual act;
but the heirs rather than expose the Sc
cret drinking habits of the testator, let
the will stand. TO history tn S was a
very generous deed, but in reality it
was the mere freak of a maniac,
"These people appear to all general
observation sane. and fully conscious
of tle nature and the character of their
acts; yet they are in state of intel
lectual delirium and instability, which
comes out prominently in the strange
unusual conduct. The co-ordinating
brain-centers are so damaged as to
prevent healthy, consistent uni orm
brain-acton. A certain range of
thought and action may seem sane.
but an ever increasing under-current
of disease carries them further from
normal brain health. When public
opinion recognizes that the occasional
or continuous use OF alcohol or other
narcotics is dangerous and likely to-
produce grave mental disturbance.

duct will be no mystery. Such men
will be recognized as diseased. and

Medical and scientific men must teach
the world the nature and character of
alcohol, and diseases which are likely
to come from its use. -

There was singular circumstance
connected with the death of Colonel
Ellsworth. On his breast he wore the
badge of the Baltimore city guard, and
the charge of shot which killed him
struck this and carried fragments of it
nearly through his body. The motto of
the company was not for ourselves but
for our country and the blood that
flowed from the wound saturated an en-
blemof his country, which fell from his
cap the instant he was shot and was
pickedup afterwards from the spot from
where the gallant young officer fell.
President Lincoln had always been
ANXIOUS that the first outbreak should
come from the other side. jackson
was Southerner and at the time of
his death was engaged in raising
company for the rebel army. 1t is
another singular circumstance that the
first blood spilled in the war in which
400, 900 men fell, should have been that

TEMPERANCE READING.
A TERRIBLE ARMY,

Where 1t Gets Its Recruits and the Kind
of War 1t Wages-Its barracks and Its
Reserves.
The organization of the Damnation
Army is very complete. 1t has hun
dreds of thousands of recruiting officers
and drill-rooms. Its officers stand be-
hind the bar, well-fed. ruddy-nosed,
portly and self-possesscd. The rank
and file are in front of the bar, in every
condition OF preservation and dilapida-
ton, from the heightened swell, the
proud aristOcrat, the inheritor of mill
ions, and the rising politician, down
to the little boy, the wan-faced girl,
and the seedy-looking tatterdemaliOns,
the poverty-stricken, wretched, help
less, noisy, criminal, degraded, dis
eased and insane.
1t would be quite impossible for any
tongue to tell the woes and miseries
caused by,and endured, in this Damna-
ton Army; and yet it has seemed to
attract comparatively very little notice
or attention. 1t gathers its recruits,
young, bright, intelligent, gay, witty
and brilliant; and it turns out its vet
Grams, bold, brazen, degraded, de-
bauched, diseased, ruined and lost.
The Damnation Army brings its re-
cruits from the homes of Joy and peace
and love; it sends its veterans away
into sorrow, misery and destruction.
The Damnation Army has its bar
racks, Its camps, its outposts every
where. Every drinking-saioon is re-
cruiting-otlice, every gambling-den,
every brothel, every haunt of sinful
pleasure, is an outpost or fortress of
this army.
The Damnation Army has its re-
serves in every prison, and it's invalids
in every hospital, anXiously waiting
till they can rejoin their regiments,
while every alms-house is a refuge for
the disabled veterans. thas its forag-
ers in the shape of beggars and tramps
at every back door or front door in the
land where there is chance to get
cold victuals or hot yictuals, old clothes
or new clothes. This army forages

arm alone can work deliverance and
bring salvation, to turn the feet of the

The Church Temperance Society.

The reports made to the fifth annual
convention Of the Church Temperance
Society remind us of the change in the
situation, as regards practical Temper
ance work, within very few years
past. For quite period before that
time a variety of causes had combined
to concentrate attention of legal meth
DDS of eXtirpating intemperance, in
place of the voluntary agencies that
had so wonderfully improved the hab-
its and morals of this country in the
course of 4 generation or more of Tenn
perance agitation.
The Church Temperance Society is
one of the many results of revival of
voluntary efforts in behalf of the Tenn
perance cause, that seems TO be grow
ing and spr .ading all over the coun-
try, with the most encouraging indica-
tons OF great results in the future
One of the most interesting features of
the Church Temperance Society is that
which interests, enlists and organizes
the youths of from fourteen years to
tw,'nty-onc years of age, in the Order
of the Knights of Temperance. This
organization is admirably calculated
to inspire the best class of boys with
the enthusiasm of their Temperance
convictions, and seems to be success
from the start. But the Church Tenn
perance work gives scope for the ac-
iivity and cooperation of the old and
young, of both sexes, and is enkindling
greater and greater inter st every
month. In few years it will be felt
as one of the greatest of benefcent
powers in the society and in the State.

obtained from Whitworth, and the
hoops and the breech mechanism forg-
ings from the Midvale Steel Company.
The gun was first tried with the Ger
man brown prismatic powder. when
the following results were reached:
With charge or 100 pounds, and with
shot weighing 152 pounds, the
muzzle velocity was 2, l45 feet, and the
pressure 2J.5O0 poun Is; with 235-
pound shot the velocity was l,942 feet,
and the pressure ~, $50 pounds with
shot Weighing 286 pounds the velocity
was l.795 feet, and the pressure $3.50
pounds. The gun was next tried with
Du Points brown prismatic powder, the
charge being the same, The velocity
with a % ,-pound shot was |, 1887 feet,
and the pressure 80. $50 pounds; with
286-pound shot the velocity was 1920
feet, and the pressure $3.50 pounds.
The gun has b ,en fire | thirteen times,
and will now be turned over TO tho test
ing board. 1t is worthy of romark that
whom this gun was designed, the COM

The Encouragement of Silence.

There is no fouler blot on the face Of
our country to-day than the grog shop.
Honest men who love their homes
should hate the saloon as they hate a
loathsome disease. There is no reason
why the rum-seller should be regarded
by honest men us any better than g
criminal. The Temperance movement
in this country will make wonderful
progress when the rum-seller is placed
just where he belongs in the estima-
ton of respectable people. The sa-
loon has no responsibility because it
works only to destroy the elements of
self-respect. 1t replaces hope with de-
spair, kills courage. dims manhood
and runs health 1t has no right to
the respect of man, and he who gives
it even the encouragement of silence is
an enemy of morality. See to it that
no son or daughter of yours can ever
learn from you that the saloon is en-
titled to any thirg but their adherence.

How We Are Stripping Bare the Continent
With More Greed Than Sense.

With More Greed Than Sense.
The country has everything to gain
and nothing to lose by the ceasing to
depend on foreign markets for its
bread stuffs. The first effect of that
dep ndence has been q method of
farming which is utterly wasteful-
mere land butchery in fact. The wheat
producing lands of the West have been
to a great extent impoverish ID and in
some cases exhauS listed by raising the
same crop year after year, and sending
away the produce over land and sea-

In Eastern Pennsylvania the product
i've power of the land has increased
with every generation since the Penn
sylvania Germans came over in the
opening years of the eighteenth CEN
fury. The same is true of the lands
under Dutch tllage in Northern New
Jersey. But it is not true of the coun-
try at large. Our energy and ingenu-
ity seem to have been directed to the
problem of running the country with
as mach haste rs possible. and in many
places we have reaped the resalt in i'm
poverishment not unlike that of the
abandoned "old fields" of Virginia and
the colonies. One cause of this has
been the absence of other industries
from the farmers neighborhood, the
consequent absence of demand for
thorough tilage and variety in the
crops, and the want of material. for
