THE governor of Delaware recently
referred to the imputations of barba-
rism thrown at that state on account of
its whipping post, and insisted that, if it
is not according to modern notions of re-
finement, its results vindicate its use.
He says there is not III the state a sim
gle penitentiary, and that the criminal
abhors the lash so that after one inflic-
ton he either leaves the state or be-
comes an honest peach grower. But
the state is too small for much of a test
of the system.

A NEW HAMPSHIRE paper publishes
the figures to show that the farming
sections of that state have lost nearly
One-half their population in the past
fifty years. The increase has all been
in the cities. 1t is the exception to the
rule that any young man remains on
the farm of his father. Those who do
not go to the cities come West. This is
beginning to cause alarm, and special
efforts are proposed to check the move
ment and reclaim the abandoned lands.

LONDON, Dec 30.-The eightieth anniver-
sary Of Mr.. Gladstones birth absorbed SO
much attention as to make Of this quiet
Sabbath day Of national remembrance.
Telegrams and letters of congratulation
and admiration poured into Hawarden from
not only all quarters Of England, but liter
ally from all parts Of the world, many
coming from Australia. America and India.
All the members OF the Gladstone family
branches were gathered at Hawarden 70
meet and greet their eminent kinsman. The
church attended by Mr. Gladstone was
crowded at the morning service, and large
throng remained outside, unable TO gain
admittance. Mr.. Gladstone took his usual
part in the service, reading the lessons, and
said few words OF devout thankfnlness for
the blessings OF health and friendship.
The Ideal Old Age.
The scene was such as Shakespeare might
have had in mind in describing the ideal
old age-surrounded by troops Of friends
showing love, honor and obedience. Be-
sides those who might have bsen expected
TO send congratulations as a matter Of
course-personal friends and political adj
mirers-many contributed whose offering
of remembrance attracted more than ordi-
nary attention. Among these may he mem
toned the Countess Tolstoi, the speaker Of
the house Of commons, and number Of
prominent Unionists. In all Mr.. Gladstone
received 200 kilograms and 500 letters of
congratulation. The first telegram re-
ceiyed was from the Prince and Princess Of

The Judge Explains why She Was Con-
fined in a Dresden Asyium

fned in Dresden Asylum.
NEw NoRE Dec 30-A cablegram was
printed Sumo TO tho effect that the wife
Of Judge Bar &, OF the New York supreme
court, had been confined in an insane asy-
hum at Dresden by order Of her husband,
and that she claimed to be sane.
Judge Barrett, on being shown the dis
patch, said the facts were these: He married
his wife twenty years ago. Some years af-
terward she began TO show mental peculiari-
ties. He then learned for the first time that
insanity was hereditary in her family. Her
mother died Of softening Of the brain. Her
father, Mr.. Fairfield, was known as "the
crazy poet Her grandfather died of in
sanity. Her sister has been for twenty-five
years in the Georgetown Insane asylum.
Both her brothers died insane.
Mrs Barretts eccentric and insane actions
caused her husband much trouble for num-
Der Of years Her chief delusion was that
people were trying to poison her She finally
went TO Europe 70 escape the poisoners. Her
condition has steadily grown worse The
judge hesitated long as TO what duty re-
quired him TO do Finally Mrs Barrett's
actions attracted the attention Of the Dres-
den authorities and Of United States Consul
Mason. Upon advice of physicians it was
deemed best to send the lady to a retreat for
the insane, where she is receiving the best Of
care. Judge Barrett has always tried to in
duce his wife to return and live with him,
but she would not do SO, and seemed happy
only when fitting from place to place in
Europe. She had tried to get divorce, one
Of her delusions taking the shape Of baseless
jealousy, but the judge would not consent to
a divorce, regarding it as his duty to her and
his daughter to care for her as his wife SC
