The very rapid increase q insanity In
the United States during the last two OF
three decades continues 10 be the subject
Of much discussion among alientists and
al tiDss who are roncer4edTin public
charities. That a prime Cause Of TINS
alarming state OF things Is the shipment
to our shores Of the enfeebled and de-
fective of other countries is now begin
ming TO be understood. fNfNeiirf y
The statistics of insanity show that, in
general. the proportion of the insane is
greatest in the older states. where the
foreign population is most numerous,
and it is4east where the communities are
new. al, for instance, in the pioneer
counties OF Wisconsin. The south, which
has drawn comparatively little from inn
migration, suffers from insanity to a
much less extent than New England and
New York; and it is IN established fact
that the negro ace is much less liable to
insanity than the white. The average OF
insanity in New England is 1 to every
$50 of the population; in New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, 1 to every 424:
while in the extreme southern states the
average is only l to 1856. "l
The west, like the south, Is more free
from insanity than the northern sen
board states, the average being one to
every $40 in the interior states, and one
to $50 for the northwestern states. In
the far western states and territories IL 4
only n out Of i,2e8, they being settled
by a picked population, whose energy
and soundness makes them pioneers. l.
il noteworthy, however, that insanity Is
about rs frequent in the Pacific states q,
in New England, the explanation beinl
that vice and indulgence prevail to az
exceptional extent among the population
drawn to the Pacific by the mania for
gold The average in Massachusetts,, fol
instance, is one to 34s; in California, ont
to 345. 1t is also remarkable that the
rate Of insanity decreases as we go west
and south Of New England, as these sv
erages will show; New England, one TO
359; middle states, one TO 424; interio,
states. one to $40; northern states. one u
$50; southern states, one to 500.
The state where the proportion il high
est is Vermont, 1 to 1877; and New Hafnp.
shire comes next, with / TO 500. We ar,
at a loss to understand why insanity is 80
frequent in the District OF Columbia, the
average given being l to 1Se; but perhaps
the large average in Vermont and New
Hampshire may in part be due to the cir
cumstance that those states receive the
refuse Of Canadian poor-houses, they
having a much better organized system
of charitable relief than the Dominion
can boast Of; and it is undeniable that
some OF the very worst OF our immigra
ton comes from over the Canadian bor-
der.-New York Sun.

Why They Emigrate.

Fan Francisco Chronicie.
The European governments rage at the steady
this country. But what can they expect? Men
want in this world to enjoy the fruits of their
labor themselves; they don't want to have to
give half or quarter of it away to pay for tom
fooleres in the shape of armies and navies, and
wild-goose chases after glory. Some modern
jenkins, who probably gets his information
from court scullion, entertained us the other
day with stories of Queen Marguerite eating
strawberries in January. All the strawberries
the poor woman could eat if she ate nothing
else, and fed all her court on them. would not
cost as much as one days maneuvers of the
Italian fleet. or one days expedition on the Red
sea- 1t is here where the money goes and hence
the reason why the most promising among the
young men in Italy are seeking homes for them
selves in countries where a man owns the whole
fruit of the sweat of his brow.
