In a French Insane Asylum,

The expressions of insanity, however varied their form, are not interesting to the specialist unless they give indications of mood differing from those character izing a mental state already chased. "Aubertin, the would-be murderer of M. Jules Ferry, belongs to the very common class of which the larger half of his family of insane is conposed-the gen. eral paralytics. The symptoms are cas- fly distinguished. Come and see for yourself" said the professor, who had spied four women under the guidance of nurse passing before the window. We met them as they entered the hall. "Well, where are you going2" he asked one of them. ''Te fetch the soup, an- swered the woman addressed, with a slight hesitation of speech. ''Now watch her walk,'' said the professor to me as the little procession moved on. I noticed the same incertitude of motion as of speech. These are the symptoms whereby to distinguish the general para lytic, whether his illness manifests itself under the form of hypochondria, melan- cholia, mania, monomania, furor, hallu- cination, or softening of the brain.-- Paris Cor.

Our Florence Letter. Tucson Star.

Florence, A. T., June 10.
 EDITOR Since my letter last week things are fast shaping up in and around here for the coming boom this fall The big water reservoir on the Gila river above the Buttes is all the talk on the streets. l learn there IS ln the Gila river about seven or eight miles above town narrow place in the river, one hundred and forty feet wide from bank to bank, with solid rock bottom, the sides 50 feet high, and both perpendicular. Over this box or Hume the water flows at lowest tide three feet deep on an average, running at the rate of five miles an hour. This fact have from Peter Brady, who has resided in this valley for the
 LAST EIGHTEEN YEARS,
 and whom no one doubts. Above the box is an open valley of eight hundred acres to serve as the great reservoir or lake, to say nothing of the immense back water. This reservoir can be made fifty feet deep, the bottom of which will be twelve feet above the head gate of the Florence Canal Com pany, it being the upper head gate of the ditch system here.
 Thus it will be seen all the water that can be used on our lands can be | caught in that vast reservoir. In this | connection, engineers, who are familiar with such work, tell me that the dam at the entrance to the box can be con structed at much less than the usual cost of such work, and made doubly secure, owing to the favorable condi- tions surrounding the locality where ' the dam is to be made. I learned late yesterday evening that location for the dam had been made, but whether by the ditch company or an outsider did not learn. At any rate it is an en- terprise that
 COULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED.
 In fact it will become a necessity with it there will be no trouble about the quantity of water.
 VACANT LANDS.
 There is large amount of land tC be entered yet, though the impression I think Is very generally held out tha most or all of the best lands have beer entered, especially by those who seen to know. 1 presume it will be so al long as there is large amount of re linquishments for sale. It will be re membered that these canals cover tn, greater portion of near twenty town ships, aggregating three hundred thousand acres of good land. I don suppose that more than one-third o that amount has been entered at tn, home land office, to say nothing of tn sixteenth and thirty-sixth sections o school land that cannot be entered, bu can be improved and occupied. So yo' see there is much land yet to be enter ed by those who wish homes

Maine's Oldest lnhabitant.

Chesley Heal, Of Searsmont, the
Oldest inhabitant of Maine, died a few
days ago at the great age of 1O9 years.
He was bora in Westport, that State,
but lived the greater part of his life in
Lincolnville and Soarsmont, where he
has host of descendants. More than
forty years ago Mr.. Heal who had up
to that time been a very Woodworking
man, made up his mind that he would
never do another days work, and he
stuck to his purpose. The house in
which he spent the last forty years of
his life he built himself, even to the
chimney. He got the lumber unaided
and shaved the shingles that covered
the roof and sides. He had saved
enough to support himself and his third
wife, who is now widow at sixty, and
together they lived comfortably in the
house which he had built, and out OF
which he had not been for twelve years
at the time of his death. 1t is said that
he had lungs SO powerful that his voice,
even when he was seventy or eighty,
could easily be heard q mile.-Ctnctn-
natl Commercial Gazette.

A Midshipman's Chest.

Each chest contains all the worldly
possessions of one officer, which, thus
packed, are as inaccessible as they well
can be. Immediately under the lid are
three or four shallow trays. One of
these are fitted as II wash-stand, with
basin, mug, soap-dish and receptacle
for tooth-brushes. Another till is a
sort of loose box for every thing; while
a third contains miscellaneous col
lection of neckties, handkerchief, pipes,
money and limited stock of jewelry.
Under these trays, and packed more or
less tidily, according to the tendencies
of the marine servant who "loolks after"
each young gentleman, are his uni
forms, suit of plain clothes, boots,
linen and articles of haberdashery.
After this explanation, my readers will
not find it difficult to understand why
the expression "every thing on top,
and nothing at hand, like a midship-
mans chest is commonly applied to
any chaotic disarrangment on board
ship.-Lieutenant Il. Harrison Snlith,

DIR. Hook possessed gift without
which he could never have got on in
Yorkshire, and that was sense OF
humor. Sydney Smith said that 1T
needed a surgical operation to get
joke into Scotchman's head--an
opinion in which no one who has read
Dean Ramsay's "Reminiscences of Scot
tish Life and Character" can possibly
agree, and there is something akin in
the grim Caledonian and West Riding
humor. / was preaching one of
course of sermons in the open air in
non-church-going part of town parish,
when I was pleasantly struck by the
polite attention of the landlord of Il
small public house close by, who had
placed chair and table at my disposal
for a temporary pulpit. So remarked
on it to one of my hearers. "Why,
you see," said he, she reckons on
some of 'em dropping in for glass
when you've done" A curate was
trying to make religious census of his
flock, and asked working man what
religion he was. "Why, you may put
me down as the religion of Wheel
barrow; / go whichever way they
shove me-" i. e., whichever way suited
his interest. Another man, with q
grin on his face, boasted of his regular
attendance at church; his comrades
burst out laughing-the fellow had just
left prison, where attendance at public
worship was, of course, compulsory.
But Yorkshiremen men are civil after
fashion. One day | paid visit to a
hand-loom weaver busy throwing his
shuttle, while his loom creaked and
groaned so that l could not get word
in. So l asked him if he earned a
penny in five minutes. "No;" he said,
'.how should Ip' So l laid down a
penny. Now" said, "let us talk
for five minutes" The man stopped,
looked at the clock-"Five minutes is
up" he said at the end of the time,
..but take back your penny; your talk
has been worth more than the brass
(money.) You may look in again II

"A good way to cook or heat hash is
to pack it in buttered baking dish

1t is is claimed that If melons are
packed in sawdust and stored in the

A Yun-ch'-i-wt hereditary officer)
named Oh 'ang-snan, u Manchu belong
ing TO the Bordered Blue Banner, was
ordered two years ago to take up his
quarters at post station called Su-wa-
ven, for the purpose OF patrolling the
country against robbers. At the same
time special orders were given to him
to keep a watch upon the soldiers OF
the station, who were reported to be In
the habit of depressing the people in
its neighborhood. One day when the
officer in charge of the station was
away at Kirin, soldier named Sun
Tien-hsiang went to q shop and tried
to buy some drugs on credit. AS, how
ever, he owed money for previous
purchases, the shopkeeper refused to
let him have any thing without pay
ment. He therefore became very vio-
lent upon which the shopkeeper went
to complain of him to Ch'ang-shan,
who sent for him, reprimanded him
and then let him go. Next day the
shopkeeper came again to say that the
soldier had gone back to the shop,
knocked over the counter and threat
ened to kill the complainant and all his
family. The officer again called up
the soldier, who behaved in a very re-
fractory and insubordinate manner In
court. He therefore ordered him to
receive u flogging of twenty blows,
which were inflicted with a whip on
the back of his leg.
AS soon as he was released, the man
went to the kitchen of the post-station,
where he remained for twelve days, at
the end of which he died from the injury
he had received. A complaint was
lodged by his brother, and thorough
inquiry was made into the case by
officers specially deputed for the pur-
pose by the Memoralists. The Memoir
alist finds that the officer Ch'ang-shan
acted quite rightly in taking notice
of the soldiers misbehavior. more
especially as he had been particularly
desired to see to such matters. Also,
the soldiers conduct, towards the
shopkeepers and in court was such as
to merit flogging, the punishment
was inflicted on q proper part OF his
person, and the number of blows was
moderate Nevertheless the Memoir
alist condemns the officer to receive
one hundred blows under statute
which awards that penalty for causing
a mans death by flogging him improp-
erly.
As the offender in this case is COM
missioned officer, his dismissal from
the service will take the place of
corporal punishment. He will also
lose his hereditary post, to which
another member of his family is ap-
pointed to succeed. In accordance
with further clause of the law above
quoted the man by whose hand the
fatal fogging was actually inflicted
has been condemned to receive ninety
blows, that being a penalty one degree
lighter than the sentence of his supe-
rior under whose orders he acted. AS
he is Manchu, the Aogging will be
given with the whip instead OF the
bamboo.-Pekin Gazette.
