SULTAN ABOUL.AZIZ.
An Indisputablo and Celebrated Case o.
Hereditary Insanity.

An Intlisputablo and Celebrated Case o:
Hereditary Insanity.
Sultan Abdul-Aziz had an undoubt ted
predisposition to insanity in his blood;
the mind of his brother. Abdul Med.
jid. whom he succeeded. had broken
down under his excuses while still .
young man. and his nephew. Murad,
who succeeded him, became hopelessly
insane Immediately after his Access
sion. He had himself to my own
knowledge, been out of his mind on
several different occasions; the first
time as far back as 1863 when l find
mentioned in letters that wrote from
Athens, where l was on a special mis-
sion. and on two later occasions within
eighteen months of his deposition
had spoken of his insanity in my let.
tiers to Lord Derby. reporting that ]
had been told of it as an undoubted
fact by one of the ministers with
whom was intimate. and mentioning
some of the peculiarities by which it
was exhibited. At one time he would
not look at any thing that was written
in black ink. and every document had
to be copied in red before it could be
laid before him. Ministers appointed
to foreign courts could not proceed to
their posts. and were kept in waiting
indefinitely. because their credentials
addressed to foreign sovereigns could
not we'll be written in red ink. and he
would not sign those that were writ
ten in black. At another time dread
of fire had got hold of him to such
pitch that, except in his own apart
ment, he would not allow candle or
a lamp to be lighted in the whole of
his vast palace, its innumerable
inmates being forced to grope
about in the dark from sunset
to sunrise; and in many other respects
his conduct passed the bounds of mere
eccentricity. That such mind as his
should have entirely given way under
the blow that had fallen upon him
need hardly excite surprise. and under |
the circumstances there is nothing |
even improbable in the fact of his |
taking his own life especially as he |
was known to hold that suicide was
the proper resource of q deposed mon /

Walter Q. Gresham has five rebel
bullets in his body. left there by the
rebels who so zealousIy assisted in
nominating by reclamation for presi-
dent man who fought by substi-
tute. Judge Gresham is a man of ir-
reproachable character, and if, in the
wisdom of the republicans assembled
IN the national convention, he is Sc
lected as the standard bearer of our
party his election is assured.
If he were ten years younger, the
nomination of Thurman as consort
with Cleveland would add strength to
the democratic ticket. but Thurman is
16 years old, and democrats, already,
now that the hurrah is over, are feel
ing that they have invited themselves
to a vice-presidential funeral. It is q

of the election. At last he is in favor
of doing something in favor of SOL
diers' widows, and now says that a
soldiers widow should he pensioned

Quantrell's gang of guerillas (what
is left of them) had reunion at Blue
Springs, Mo-, one day last week.
This is the gang that murdered $50
helpless citizens of Lawrence. Kan,
in 1863. They cheered for Cleveland
and passed free trade resolutions.
But we must not say anything, the
war is over.-Burr Oak Herald.
We are disposed to differ with the
Herald on the keep still question; for,
when three years of democratic adj
ministration brings affairs into such a
position that murderers, outlaws,
bandits, bank and train robbers are
justified in holding a public reunion
it is time that every loyal American
citizen should spring to the front
rank in the coming campaign, and
assist in taking the Government from
the hands of its would-be destrovers..
