Genius and Insanity.

Recent biographies of George Eliot
and Thomas Carlyle have given new
views as to whether genius does not
necessarily involve certain morbid
and unsound faint in its very essence,
which is divided by thin partition
from madness. French psychologists
who have occupied their attention with
eminent men like Isaiah, Dante, and
Milton, pronounce genius a type Of
physical and mental disease. A genius
is, then, n man of immense original
intellectual endowment with latent in
sanity, always ready to break over into
actual insanity. Insanity is doubtless
on the increase, more especially among
the educated. Statistics show this.
Many cases are brought on by over
work, anxiety, excitement, mental
trouble, and nervous prostration; it is
also inherited. Invariably sleepless-
ness and constipation manifest them
selves before one becomes insane.
Constipation induces dyspepsia, jaun-
dice, bad breath, piles, pimples, low
spirits, headache, etc. Dr. Jones Red
Glover Tonic relieves constipation and
promptly cures these diseases. "Clover
Tonic" restores nerve force lost by
sickness, overwork, hard study, or the
excessive use of liquors, tobacco, or
opium. Sold by druggists at so cents
per bottle.

Sherman On Grant at spotsyIvania.

With the month of May came the season
for action, and by the 18th all his armies were
in motion. The army of Butler at Fort Mon
roe was his left, Meades army the center,
and Sherman at Chattanooga his right. But
Ter was to move against Richmond on tho
south of James river, Meade straight against
Lee, intrenched behind the Rapidan, and
Sherman to attack Joe Johnston and push
him to and beyond Atlanta. This was as far
as human foresight could penetrate. Though
Meade commanded the Army of the Potomac
Gen Grant substantially controlled it, and
on May 4, 1864, he crossed the Rapidan, and
at noon next day attacked Lee. He knew
that certain amount of fighting, killing"
had to be done to accomplish his end, and
also to pay the penalty of former failures. In
the wilderness" there was no room for grand
strategy, or even minor tactics; but the
fighting was desperate, the losses to the
Union army being, according to Phisterer,
81, 737, to the Confederate loss of ii ,4U-the
difference due to Lees intrenchments and the
blind nature of the country in which the
battle was fought. On the night OF May z
both parties paused, appalled, by the fearful
slaughter; but Gen. Grant commanded For
ward by the left flank" That was, in my
Judgment, the supreme moment of his life;
undismayed, with full comprehension of
the Importance of the work in which he was
engaged, feeling as keen sympathy for his
dead and wounded as any one, and without
stopping to count his numbers, he gave his
orders calmly, specifically and absolutely

And still they come: this time in the
shape Of "Stove Trust" 1t is not fully
developed as yet, but 1t will be in spite of
the fact that there are 3l5 Legitimate
firms-a large body to handle. President
omyser, In his speech to the Association at
ST. Louis on Monday, gave various reasons
why the stove men should organize. Hav-
Ing through protection only home market,
"senseless competition" he says, has ruined
the business. Manufacturers make more
stoves than they can sell and the business
done must be curtailed, BY organization,
81 100000 can be saved in patterns; as can
be also p millions paid to travelling men,
$3.50, 900 paid 10 branch houses, and $3.50, 900
in freight, he said and In conclusion he
estimated the net Profits at 10 per cent on
sales of 33 millions. Suppose we admit
for the time being that these trusts are a
legitimate business matter, somehow the
necessity for them land they all claim
there Is a necessity does not seem to be a
very convincing argument in favor Of that
home market 80 much talked about now g.
days Everywhere, trusts argue the ur-
gency of protecting themselves against
themselves and over production, and bus
mess demoralized by home competition.
If protection so cheapens protected pro-
ducts to the home consumer, why does 1t
not also cheaper them so that the surplus
may be sold abroad But 1t clearly does
not and therefore the tariff does have the
effect of increasing the price to the home
consumer If not the goods could be sent
out of the country when there Is surplus.
But the fatal defect of the protective sys-
tenn Is that 1t prevents expectation Of man.
ufactared goods; It narrows the market In.
stead CT broadening It, 1t confines trade to
narrow limits and compels the retention of
the surplus at home. Today our only ex-
porters are the unprotected producers,
while the protected manufacturers are or
ganiking trusts to prevent the very compe-
tition they promise would be such good
thing to home market-comb ining to de-
feat the very end for which they profess to
ask tariff.

Probably no one thing has caused such a
revival of trade at d. Lorriaux's Drug Store
as their giving away to their customers of so
many free trial bottles of DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption. Their trade is
simply enormous in this valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and never
dIsappoints. Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Bron-
chitis, Group, and ali throat and lung di-
seases quickly cured. You can test it before

THE LECTURE BUSINESS.

know that such is not the case"
"Why did he spend his money so reck-

"Why! Well, lie thought the lecture bust
ness, like the theatre business, would always
be popular feature of entertainment,
and he therefore regarded the future rs q

All he had to do was to go ahead and draw

had a right to do, but he didn't comprehend
the Importance of providing in the present
for the possible miscarriages of the future.
A few years ago the lecture business was

Henry Ward Beecher, Wendell Phillips,
Robert G. Ingersoll, Frederick Douglass
and others made splendid fortunes out Of it,
but some of these even did not save any
money.
"Wendell Phillips gave away the large for

NEGRO JIM's SISTERS FREEDOM.
Mr.. VIM. Gregg relates that November
6, 1861, while he was Orderly Sergt. in
Campbeil's battery, at Cape Girardeau,
No, by some means it was known that a
very intelligent slave girl of the nelghbor-
hood had made il known that she was
willing to take her chances for freedom, if
she could get across the Mississippi river.
MIR. Gregg circulated paper and raised
$40 in money and the negro cook and a
couple of the "boys" took her across the
stream and gave her the funds which she
thankfully accepted and started off, taking
the nearest train for Bloomington, where
she afterwards married. She was negro
Jim's sister, and she regarded it as a sort
of a strange coincidence that she should
have escaped to freedom through the aid
of some of the same kind friends who had
done like service tor her brother.
