DULL TIMES ON THE IsTHMUs.

Stoppage Of Work on the Canal Causes
Severe Depression in Business.
PANAMA, March 16.-The condition of af-
fairs on the isthmus has been critical for
some weeks past, as already reported, and
everything has worn gloomy aspect.
Thousands of men have been thrown out cf
work, and similar results ensued to those
which occur anywhere in the world when
work stops, and thousands are left with
their hands in pockets which contain no
money. Fortunately, emigration on an ex-
tensive scale has ensued, and it is expected
before month will have elapsed. at least
5000 men will have been sent hence. Com
mercial matters all over the isthmus are in
bad condition. and there is little business
doing. The Colon store. keepers and deal
ers have united in petitiOning for reduc-
tiOn of all kinds of taxes owing to the
complete stoppage of trade in the city. In
the city of Panama things are much
in the same condition. A meeting has
been held at which Panamanians and
and a decision was reached that the su-
preme government be petitioned to reduce
the commercial contribution. which is
enormously high as compared with the
amount of business which is being done.
An instance of the condition of affairs has
been given by Governor Aycardi, who has
issued decree suspending payment of the
debt of the former State of Panama and
etfecting other economies. Governor Ay-
cardi states that these measures have been
adopted owing to the suspension of work
on the canal having reduced the receipts of
the government, which will be further di-
minished owing to the receipts from taxes
similarly falling Off. In consequence of
the collapse of the local freight and pas
senger traffic on the Panama railroad. the
number of employees has been considerably
reduced. At present only two passenger
and two freight trains cross the line daily
from either end. This reduction in traffic

A GREAT MIND SHATTERED.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stoves Mental Condi-
tion Bordering on a State of Insanity.

HARTFORD, Conn.,, March 25.-It is now
about six months since Harriet Beecher
Stowe was brought as an invalid from Sag
HarbOr to this city. Mrs. Stowe went early
last season to Sag HarbOr to spend the
summer. For time she seemed benefited
by the change, but for several weeks before
she returned to Hartford her life was de-
SPARED of. Every one supposed the re-
nowned authOress of Uncle Tomn had but
a few weeks to live at best, and by many
of her near friends her life was measured
and the attentive nursing Of her cSdren
brought her through her illness; but Mrs.
Stowe finally recovered of her ailments,
and is seemingly now in as good health as
she has ever been of late years. The true
we'll known here in Hartford, is seldom
alluded to. 1t is. however, a fact tina.
Mrs. Stoves mind is shattered, and she is.
at best, intellectually now but mere
child. Her friends will not say that
she is insane. nor that she is an
imbecile, but her mind is almost complete
ly gone. Her memory is that of baby.
When former dear friends visit her-people
whom she has known for years-she greets
them with q vacant stare, SO indicative
a symptom of cases of that kind. OF course
Mrs Stoves relatives view all this with
feelings of disnay, but they have now be-
come recOnciled to the change, and her
whims are treated with the utmost tender
ness.
For some time it was given out that Mrs.
Stowe did not recognize her friends be-
cause of failing eyesight, but this excuse is
no longer alluded to. and the fact that she
is now no longer mentally capable is recog-
nized by every one. 1t was also for long
time thought to be an attribute Of genius
when Mrs. Stowe showed these idiosyn-
crasies, but the genius which made "Uncle
Toms Cabin" the most popular book of the
century has departed.
The father of Mrs. Stowe. the Rev. Lyman
Beecher. passed the closing years of his life
with a cloud resting over his mind. His
symptoms were greatly similar to those
which now affiict Mrs. Stowe.
A member of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stoves
family denies authoritatively the rumors
that Mrs. Stowe is rapidly failing in health.
She is reported as being as we'll as at any
time during the past twelve months.

Third Week of the Fall River Strike-Female
Employe Struck with a Brick.
FALL RIVER, Mass, March 25.-The third
week of the strike opens without any great
change in the situation. Several mills re-
port slight gains in the number of looms
running, and the total number in operation
to-day was given as 1000. Several
mills which had steam up ready to
start abandoned the attempt on account of
the small number who came in, and others.
which did start, shut down during the
morning for similar reason. The strikers
held big mass-meeting in the park this
morning. at which 5000 were present.
They voted unanimously to continue the
strike.
Annie Lancaster. weaver employed in
Pocassett mill, was assaulted on South
street this morning as she was going to
work. An unknown man, supposed to be a
striker, hurled brick at the woman,
knocking her senseless. He then escaped
down an alley, and has not been captured.
The woman was taken to her home, and is
reDOrted to be comfortable.

once in ten years if he does il with his
left hand. This decision settles very
