LOSS OF REASON.
The Sad Case of Dementia Of Mr..
Frank Farrell.

Mr.. Frank Farrell, the young man
whose actions on yesterday showed
indications of mental unbalance. NOV
ed here from New Orleans about one
year ago, and secured employment as
entry clerk in the wholesale house of
Leasing, Solomon & Rosenthal, and
held that position for four or five
months when he went in the large
retail house Of H. b. Claflin & Co.,
which was then under the manage
ment of Isaac Lewis. After leaving
that firm he engaged in the boarding
house business and was running q
boarding house on Franklin street
when his unfortunate condition was
discovered. Mr.. Farrell was young
man only 30 years OF age, and very
highly esteemed by all who knew
him. He has at times been known to
indulge in convivial habits, and prob
ably owing to the mans peculiar tenn
permanent his atfliction may have been
superinduced by this habit. Insan-
ity is indeed n strange and sad dis
ease, and one of the worst and most
pltiable that humanity is heir to.
We see Gods creatures one day sane,
rational and in perfect health and
probably on the morrow we behold
the same being possessed with the
demon OF lunacy, and i'm their rage of
madness seeking to destroy the life of
those that in their sane moments they
loved and cherished above all on earth
Mr.. Farrell has been known of late to
have been considerably worried over
financial affairs, which seemed to en-
gross his mind to some extent, and
his actions for some time have been
somewhat peculiar and he has been
constantly watched. On yesterday
evening his reason seemed to have
deserted him entirely, he threatened
the life of his wife by flourishing a
pistol around in a prOmiscuous man
ner. 1t was then deemed necessary
to place him in confinement. The
physician of the unfortunate man
thirks.his atfliction is only OF tenn
temporary nature, brought on by too
much worry and excitement. and that
time and rest will bring around res
toration of reason. Frank Farrell
leaves wife and three children to
mourn his serious condition. OF all
the agonies in life, that which is most
poignant and narrowing. that which
lacerates the heart and bears down
upon the soul, is to see those who
are near and dear to- us wrapped
in the ravages of this dreadful dis
ease.
A commission de lunatico enoui-
cndo was summoned by Judge Evans
to meet att o'clock this evening, to ex-
anime INTO the alleged insanity of Mr.
Farrell. The verdict of the commits.

cation in the NEWS.

Tho practice Of deforming the feet prevails
only among the upper classes and those who

Switzerland has grown of late years il evil

/ How the Sioux nragicians Prepare Their

As the medicine bag contains the red doc
tors stock in trade, he guards 10 with jealous
care. It Is kept away from the prying eyes
and itching fingers of the whites, and the
medicine man would as soon lose his life as
to have the contents of his pouch inspected
These bags are made of the skin Of some wild
animal, and are variously ornamented with
fringe and now and then with beads. We
did not get chance to look into one during
the prevalence Of the dog feast, but not long
afterward number of Christianized medi-
cine men reached the post and turned their
pouches over to the missionary who had con-
verified them.
A complete catalogue of the contents of a
single medicine bag would excite the readers
wonder and provoke smile. When the dis
carded OF had been turned over on the
occasion just referred to, went through the

would have formed an unique collection, and

images of wood carefully wrapped and
labeled. These were the totems that preside
over the use and effects of the medicines and
without their presence in the pouches the
skill of the Indian doctors would avail moth
Ing. The images are of rough workmanship,
but they answer the purpose for which they
were designed as well as if they came from
the hands of the slsillful carver. We found
IN tho bag we examined representations of
the sun and moon, and some odd pieces of
wood carving supposed to represent tho
human figure.
The medicine Of one tribe differs from that
Of another. The shapes of the healing pouches
are different. No Indian can aspire to the
position of healer Of the sick unless he Is ply
sically without o blemish, though some
tribes tolerate manned medicine men, This
would indicate that among some nations men
tai characteristics go further than physical
ones in the choosing of doctors. The initia-
ton into the fraternity of medicine men diff
fers, as do the schools they profess to prac-
tice In tho far north the candidate Is

murmur Of laughter that greeted this sally
