THE fact that Robert Garrett has beer

THE fact chat Robert Garrett has been
restored to perfect health may cause
the physicians who make specially of
"alienism,' or insanity, to revise their
opinions as to the durability, or rather
the non-curability, of the disease known
as paresis, or general paralysis. Mr..
Garrett a couple of years ago, or less,
had all the outward and visible signs of
this malady, and was pronounced its VIC
tim. He had reached what is known as
the grand delusion" stage of the dis
ease, at which the patient multiplies his
possessions in his imagination, buys
largely Of what he does not want, and
sells largely of what he does not own.
This is regarded as fatal symptom
Yet Mr.. Garrett has passed safely
through it. He has, of course, had un-
usual advantages of care and treatment
on account of his great wealth. His re-
covery may, at any rate, be proftably
studied by the doctors.

Close of the Career of One of the NIem-

Henry d. Genet died at New York on
the 9th inst. He was one Of the men
indicted at the time of the celebrated
Tweed ring exposure in 1871, charged
with having collected $1,000 for work
alleged to have been performed
on Harlem bridge, since called
High Bridge. Immediately upon the
finding of that Indictment prince Hal,"
as he was known to his brethren under
the Tweed regime, was placed in tbs
custody of the sheriff. A few days af-
terward, while giving the Jail officials to
believe that he had gone !or a short
drive, he succeeded in making his es-
cape to Canada, and later started for
Europe. He finally decided to return
and face the charges, alter twelve years
spent abroad. In the fall of 1883
Mr.. Genet was convicted and sentenced
to the penitentiary for six years in adj
dition to fine OF $1,000. Genet paid
the fine in full and quietly served out
his allotted sentence. When the indict-
ment was finally brought he was sena-
tor from his district. Notwithstanding
this, he was reelected, and although
urged by many of his friends to take
his seat, retrained from doing so.

the schooner. Afterward the rescued
gentleman presented Mr.. Wilson with
