ADJUDGED INsANE.-Mrs. Eastman,
wife of DIR. Geo. w. Eastman, banker
and physician, OF Platteville, on recon-
mendation of Drs. Erastus J. Buck and
George E. Richards, was adjudged in
sane by Judge Carter and ordered to
the hospital at Mendoza for treatment,
whittier she was taken Thursday morn
ing. About three weeks ago she began
to exhibit symptoms of disturbed men,
tai balance which continued to grow
worse, making special treatment neces-
sary. In 1857 and 1875 she was similarly
afflicted. but by careful treatment was APP
parently cured. She is about SO years
of age, lady of much refinement and
highly esteemed and her friends hope
for her early and complete recovery.
LITERARY.-The April meeting of the
Lancaster Literary Club was held Tues
day evening at the residence of Judge
Clementson. The essay by DR.. S. E.
Hassell on Cerebral Dyspepsia was an
ably written paper. He took the posi-
ton that the brain is incapable of orig
mating thought; that thought is pro-
duced by impressions made upon the
brain through the special senses; that
the brain is developed by these impress
sions; that there is no middle ground
between progression and retrogression
hence if ones environment is such
as not to furnish healthful impressions
the result is mental degeneracy. He
showed by statistics that rs per cent. of
cases of insanity result in this way
from mental dyspepsia. The writer
held, however, that on the whole the
race shows an improved and improving
condition of mentality. The discussion
of this topic opened up wide field Of
thought. The regular disputants were
DIR. F. K. Strong and Capt. A. r. Bush
nell. There were good many side
issues from the general topic, such as
the power of animals to think, the ma
ture of dreams, and even the theory
OF evolution was touched upon. The
subject is one that can be profitably
investigated by anyone. There is no
doubt that quite as much bodily sick
ness, not to mention mental maladies.
result from improper brain nourish-
ment, as from improper bodily nourish-
ment. The alarming prevalence of in
sanity among farmers wives in certain
localities is due to mental starvation
quite as much as overwork. The next
meeting will be held at the rooms of
Miss Watts at the Hubbard House, on
the second Tuesday in May. Captain
Bushnell will read a paper on MAN"
The exact title of the essay has not
been decided up, but it will be q con-
sideration of what man is including
discussion upon his origin and destiny.
The disputants are Fred McNair and
DR.. Barber.

pistol (which he had no idea was loaded) to
a customer at his store, corner of King and
Lee streets, last night, cooked the weapon
and pulled the trigger. The pistol was dis
charged, sending ball into Mr.. BIS left
hand. The wound, though painful, is not
thought to be serious. 1t is q noteworthy
fact that the father of the young gentleman
1.-THE late Samuel Bernheimer) happened to
showing pistol TO customer. In the lat,
ter case, however, the wound inflicted was
of dangerous character, the ball having
struck him in the abdomen, which caused
him much pain and alarm, and it was not
until after a long and tedious convalescence
that he recovered.

MADE HIS EsCApE-A white man named
Hartman, employed in tho timber business
near Pisgah, was on Tuesday last commit
ted to Jail by Justice Dunnington on the
charge of arson for the burning of Hoiiman's
mill in Virginia some months ago. Harrl-
man was held on the testimony of some
Witnesses from Virginia, who came over and
gave testimony against him at the hearing,
and was committed to the Jail at Port To-
bacco to await q requisition from the Fir-
ginia authorities. While on his way TO
Port Tobacco in charge Of Constable Thad
deus WEIGH, Hartman jumped from the
buggy in which he was riding in company
with the constable and made his escape.
All efforts at pursuit on the part of Con-
stable WEIGH proved unavailing and it Is
understood that Hartman took the mid

went up the road.-Port Tobacco Md )1imeS.

difference and put 100 cents worth Of
silver and equalize j, with the
gold. lApplauss.l But the facts stated
by my friend, Senator Allison, Of Iowa,
are powerful facts to show that the re-
lations between gold and silver have
been destroyed by temporary causes,
and that it would be unwise for this
Government now TO put the amount Of
silver into the silver dollars, because
by doing that you would raise the
price Of gold, and the silver dollar
would be little worse than il is now.
l say, wait until the nations OF the
earth have settled down to what they
are going to do, and then let the United
States Government settle on what it is
geipg to do.
Now, as to the bankrupt law, be-
lieye the principle is a just one, but
there are difficulties about the frame
work Of that law. 1t ought to be a
cheap law, because the administration
Of the former law in the southern Stat es
has been such that | don't believe any
creditor has been able to get anything
out Of the bankrupt-the estate has
all gone to the lawyers and the
administrators. I" They might pay
the expenses of the administra-
ton in silver" said Senator Ed
munds.l No, they wouldn't take it in
silver. [Laughter.l l deeply appre-
ciate the compliment you have done
me, gentlemen, and shall go back to
old Virginia and tell them that it was
an honor to our State, an honor to their
humble representative to come here to-
night to address you. [Great applause.
