The difficulty in dis ;ingu;shing an in

be case OF monomania, is often very
great, rs the following incident will snow:
lew years ago physician, whose en-

who is considered the best authority ex-
tent on su:h matters, called ut the St.
Louis Insane asylum for the purpose of

of lis ac9 uaintance, who was located
there, to show him about. Near the gate

peculiar to the medical fraternity which
the latter advanced, he engaged him in
conversation. The man was very rational,
and displayed thorough knowledge of
the classics and of science and art as v ell,
upon which he talked at length and enter
teininely. Finally he volunteered to show
the visitor through the institution, and as
he did so he made minute diagnosis of
each case which was presented. The Wis

and assistants, who unosremoniously
seized his edifyi ing conductor, manacled
him and led him TO csll despite his vio

quite natural under the circumstances
with even sane man, and the expert was
undeceived still, until his former enter

and scorn the crown. Save mew The

scene little later and congratulated the
visitor on mis- narrow escape, informing
him to his astonishmert that this was the

In "a Russian Church.
BY Edmund Noble.

/ must confirm from observation much
that has been written concerning the un.
popularity of the priesthood. These holy
men are not beloved of the people. Their
evarice Is proverbiai, and the popular
epithets which perpetuate the belief in il
do them little injustice. 1t is still con
sidered unlucky-even amongst the
classes by whom their services are most
in demand-to meet one of them in the
street; impending rencontres are usually
avoided by abrupt crossing of the
thoroughfare. The moral influence
exerted by priests is notoriously small.
They are rarely admitted to the houses
of the mobiles and land owners; rich mer-
chants, on the other hand, as well as
merchants who hope to become rich,
eagerly pur ,hase their favors. The fre.
quently com plant made of insobriety
within the Church is only too well found

buriington trouble broke out anew here

decided by the railroad officials to return
over burlington tracks and to this end it
was switched on the latter line At once
brotherhood men and adherents n opegred
on the scene and insisted that the train
should aot pass over the line selected. A
wholesale fight ensued. Revolvers were
drawn and several dozen shots fired. One
man was shot through the thigh and
another had his ankle shattered. The
train left on the Union Pacific tracks at
O'Clock p. IN. No arrests have been
made, and it Ia not known who the

GEN. SHERIDAs's AUTonIoGRAPHr-It is
interesting to know that Gen. SherIdan's
last days, like Gen. Grants, were occp-
pied upon his own memoirs, which
Grants publishers, Charles l.. Webster d
Co., are to issue directly. Two days be-
fore his death he spent hours upon his
couch of pain, correcting proof sh eets,
and another batch, the last of the book,
was sent on Saturday from the publisher.
The first volume is printed and is now in
the hands of the book-binder: and the
second will soon follow ii. Gen. Sheridan
has saved little, il anything from his
salary, and was anxious to get this book
out, that it might furnish support to his
family. He has written real autobio-
graphy, not military history, and given
lively descriptions of his personal ad
ventures, covering with especial detail
his early service as an Indian fighter and
peace maker, on the PLAINS, OF which
little has ever been told.

The suspicion is reasonable that the
industrial riots in France are instigated
by political schemers and are OF part
with the Boulanger agitation. The great
middle class in France is moderately
satisfied with the Republic, as it would be
with any orderly government, but the Re-
public has failed to satisfy the expscta-
tions of the lower classes and has equally
failed to command the confidence of the
upper classes o-calied. The French hav-
ing been SO long educated to that idea OF
centralized power which some Americans
are trying to introduce here, look to the
government to redress every wrong and
cure every ill; and when the government
fails, as it must, to do this, the result il a
riot or q revolution.
