If it were not for the climate, Quito
would be in the midst of a perpetual pesti-
lence but Notwithstanding the prevailing
filthiness there is very little Sickness and
pulmonary diseases are unknown. Noun
tain fever, produced by cold and torpid
liver, is the commonest type Of disease.
The population of the city, however, is
gradually decreasing, and is said to be now
about sixty thousand. There were five
hundred thousand people at Quito when
the Spaniards came, and hundred years
ago the population was reckoned at double
what it now is. Half the houses in the
town are empty, and to see a new family
moving in would be a sensation. Most of
the finest residences are locked and barred,
and have remained so for years. The
owners are usually political eXiles, who are
living elsewhere, and can neither sell nor
rent their property. Political revolutions
are so common, and the results are so dis
astrous to the unsuccessful, that there is a
constant stream of fugitives leaving the

General Harrison's Military Record.

In 1862 when the Union armies had
met with reverses in the South and volun-
teers had in in a measure ceased to offer
! themselves, General Harrison abandoned
| the quiet and lucrative occupation of his
| office to another and, leaving a Young wife
and infant children, he obtained Lieu
! tenants commission, went into camp with
| Company 4 of the 10Th indiana Regi-
ment, and in less than thirty days led to
! the front Il regiment of loo fight o
men. The regiment served in Kentucky
and Tennessee with the Army of the
Cumberland. During the Atlanta cam
paign it was attached to the Twentieth
Army Corps, Fighting Joe" Hooker's
command, General Harrison taking the
place of General Butterfeld, as brigade
commander. The reports of his suueriors
bear record of his courage and fighting
! qualities at the battles of Resaca and
Peach Tree Creek. General Hooker rode
the lines the day after Peach Tree Creek
and, as he shook hands with the young
commander said: Harrison, by -
I'll make you Brigadier-General
for this fight and his word of
| mouth on the battlefield was supplemented
by hearty letter of commendation
written to the Secretary of War few
months latter. The fact that he has al
ways been highly esteemed by the officers
and men who served under him is high
testimony to General Harrison's character
as soldier and commander While on
temporary leave to visit his family, Gen
eral Harrison was cut off from immediate
return to Atlanta by the rebel invasion of
Tennessee and Northern Georgia. He
took command of brigade at Nashville,
( however, and led in the bloody battles
about that place, and under General George
III. Thomas-one of the finest figures of the
war-aided in defeating Hood and putting
his army to flight. Called home to the
| bedside of his two children, who were
stricken with scarlet fever, General Harri-
son was attacked by the disease in a
malignant form. After barely escaping a
fatal termination of the fever he reioined
his regiment in North Carolina and re-
manned with Sherman's army until the
close of the war, returning to his home a

ENGLAND,S CANDIDATE.
The Interest Taken Across the Atlantic
in Free Trade.


The Irish World of New York has the
following:
The English press is rejoicing over the
way American politics are shaping them
selves. Grover Cleveland has been nomi-
mated and James G. Blaine has not been
nominated. This fills John Bull with de-
light. He is glad that Mr. Blaine is not
at the head of the Republican hosts be-
cause, as the London Times puts it, he is
no friend to England" Cleveland has
proved by his acts that he is all that Eng
land could reasonably wish him to be. His
reelection would be hailed throughout the
length and breadth of that country as a
distinctively English victory-and Justly
so. Four years more of Grover Cleveland
in the White House means four years of
an Administration that will leave nothing
undone to force upon the country the pro-
English policy of free trade.
There is not British manufacturer who
doee not know and thoroughly appreciate
what that means. He knows that itmeans
that England will capture the richest
market in the world He knows that it
means that England will be saved from
the financial disasters that threaten her if
she does not find a sale for her cheap-made
goods.
The English press is therefore justified
in rejoicing over the candidacy of man
who has been so stanch friend to Eng
land. 1t has been quick to see that he is
in many senses an English candidate. The
course he has pursued in regard to free
trade, the fisheries treaty and the extradi-
ton treaty has proved that he is under
strong pro-British influence 1t would be
diflicult-we perhaps ought to say impos-
sible-to find among public men in Amer
lea one who, if elected President, would
dare to adopt so pronounced pro-British
policy as that which has been in operation
ever since Grover Cleveland entered the
White House. 1t is no wonder, then, that
Englishmen of all parties are united in
wishing our pro-British administration to
receive another four years lease of power.
They know that it means the safety of
England at the expense of the United
States. There is therefore, good and suffi =
Gent reason why Englishmen should re-
ioice.

Is spir.tualism INSANITY {?

4 mere belief in spiritism does not af-
feet the ability 70 make last testament or
contract, any more than the acceptance of
the miracle of the Immaculate Conception
as a truth, or others of disputed nature
1t is only when a mans delusion is an in
sane one, and when it is clearly associated
with intellectual perversion of morbid
type, and is what is known to alienists as
insane, that the Court must take cogni-
zance and protect the individual and soci-
ETY.. If believer is commanded by the
spirits to do some act of violence-to " re-
move" as Guiteau expressed it, certain
persons he believes obnoxious; to commit
some unjust action; or if ne is so weak
minded as to become the prey of designing
persons-then his mental state is certainly
one requiring attention. The tolerance
of the Courts in regard to popular delu-
sions Is, however, to say the least, remark
able. Some years ago well-to-do French
man named Bonnard died in the city of
New York. He was a firm believer III the
doctrine of metempsychosis, and when his
will was opened it was found that he had
left a very large sum to the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. A con-
test naturally followed, but the will was
admitted to probate, the Surrogate hold
ing that the act of the dead man was con-
sistent, inasmuch as he believed his soul
would find tenement after his demise in
the body, possibly, of some canine wait
who might receive the protection of the
society in question. While savoring OF
the wisdom of Solomon-and in a legal
sense this decision was undoubtedly a
logical one-it probably would have been
found, on careful examination, that the
testator's delusion was associated with
others OF an insane character.-Americd1

A Snake Charmer's Faith in himself.

India has just lost snake charmer, one
kondajee Mupooee, who fell martyr to
his belief in his own powers. A lad 6
years old, named Vittoo Heorree, was bit
ten by a cobra at Mazagon, Bombay, and,
as usual, a snake charmer was at once sent
for. Kondajee arrived at the spot in half
an hour, but the boy was already dead
The snake oh; rmer inquired where the
cobra had taken refuge, and, on a wood
pile being pointed out he removed the
wood, found and seized the snake, and en-
deavored to make it bite the dead boy, de-
claring that if it did so the child would at
once be restored to life For two hours he
persevered, but the snake refused to strike
the body, and at last, irritated beyond en-
durance, turned and bit Kondaiee in the
hand. The snake charmer calmly placed
the snake in a copper vessel and then sat
down. A vehicle was sent for and the
man placed inside, but by the time he
reached home he was dead. The story
testifies strongly to the belief of snake
charmers of India in their power over the
snakes, and to the existence of super
stition that the second bite of snake will
restore the life that the first has taken
away.
The apathy of the Hindoo is evident by
the fact that the snake-charmer used no
effort whatever to save his own life.
Whether he thought he was proof against
its i'll effects was not stated in the evil
dence given at the inquest held on the
body of the child but it is clear that he
had no belief in the virtues of any anti
dote or mode of treatment. 1t IS most
probable that he was confident in the pow
ers of the drugs, ointments or charms he
had previously used to protect him, for the
evidence of the spectators showed that
upon finding the snake in the wood-pile
he had seized it without moments hest
tation. 1t is certainly singular that man
accustomed to handling snakes should
have been so convinced that their bite had
power to restore life as we'll as to cause
death.-Loadon Standard

Mislaid Ewes.

Little Winnifred, in the kindergarten,
was running on" to her teacher the
other day, in the confidential way which
small children often employ with their
teachers in talking about the people at
home.
My Aunt Clara" said she, :" has been
awful sick"
"What was the matter ?"
Caught her eyes in her spine"
"Her eyes in her spine Why, my
child, what do you mean? That is i'm
possible"
'FWell, she has | heard them telling
about it"
The teacher was somewhat puzzled, and
the next time she met an elder sister of
the little girl she took occasion to seek an
explanation of the mystery.
"Why, did Winnifred say that ?' said
her sister, laughing. "The fact is, Aunt
Clara has had severe spinal trouble, and
the doctor found it necessary to cauterize
her spine. And that's where Winnifred
got her strange idea."-sSd.
