IMMENSE SUMS OF MONEY
had been corruptly raised and corruptly
used in behalf of the Republican ticket
That money had been raised, he said, among
the benefciaries Of the pending bill. Chief
among them being pious citizen of Penn
sylvania who had since been rewarded with
a seat in the Cabinet as the price of his
villainy. By such practices in the cam.
paign of 1888 the public voice had been
strangled, truth crushed to earth and the
country disgraced.
Mr.. Sherman criticised Mr.. McPherson's a
remarks as to reducing the average rate
under the pending bill to the average rate
existing in 1864, and explained that the
average of 3669 under the law of 1864 was
made upon all the goods then dutiable and
undutiable, but that at that time not more
than 10 or Is per cent of imported goods
were on the tree list. Under the pending
bill 30 per cent of imported goods were 70
have been upon the Tree list, and if the
average rate of duty were ascertained on the
goods dutiable and undutiable, it would
bs not 81 per cent or 36 per cent, but only
IL or Is per cent.
Mr.. Mcpherson said that he would be
bold man who would deny that the pending
bill was not solely In the interest of manu-
Iacturers and without the slightest particle
of interest to anybody else. While that was
not pleasant thing to contemplate, it was
not without the quality of reckless courage.
If that was the kind of bill which the Re-
publican people of the country had imagined
they were to receive. then SO let it be.
A REPUBLICAN KICKER
Mr.. Plumb inquired as to the effect Of the
bill on revenue, and complained that no de-
tailed statement had been made as to the
effect that would follow the passage of the
bill. If there should be deficit within the
next Is months it would be pretty serious
matter. he thought that the Senate ought
not to err on this side Of deficit, but ought

THE AUTUMN WOODS.

What beauty in the autumn woods
Where in the calm, deep solitude.
The amber sunshine finds its way.
The checkered light and shadows play,
Such beauty everywhere we turn!
The moss grown rock and dropping fern,
The woodland flowers and trailing vines,
The singing brooks and signing pines.
The murmur of the gentle breeze
That stirs the yellow chestnut leaves.
Till softly in the grasses brown
The round and prickly burrs drop down.
The naples are in bright array
OF mottled gold and crimson gray;
The oak in deepest scarlet dressed;
In cloth of gold and all the rest,
Except that now and then between
There stands a tall dark evergreen
That sheds its spicy fragrance round
And drops its cones upon the ground,
With asters white and purple tinged,
And golden rod, the woods are fringed,
With scarlet berries peeping through
Where wild grapes hang of purple hue.
And fiery fingered ivy clings,
While mild week floats on downy wings,
. The crickets chirp and insects hum;
For glorious autumn now has come.

:, SANITY AND INSANITY.
Curious Anomalies in Our Social and
Criminal Jurisprudence.

Curious Anomalies i'm Our Social and
Criminal Jurisprudence.
1t is an astonishing. but lamentable fact,
that no two experts in any branch of
science. medical or general, can seldom, if
ever, be found to agree upon any given
point. Hence the great and sometimes in
superable difficulty in discriminating be-
tween the sane and the insane, as shown in
the long series of perpIexing, and frequently
contradictory decisions arrived at in Ameri-
can and English civil and criminal courts.
The fundamental principles on which juries
are instructed and guided in their distine-
tion between sanity and insanity have cer-
tainly been considerably modified during
the last two centuries; but, even in this
present year of grace QS9O). there is no
uniform standard, in either civil OF criminal
courts, for the determination of mental
competence and responsibility. A man who
is held to be sane enough to be punished
for murder IS frequently declared incapable
of making will or undertaking a contract.
We cannot, therefore. reasonably expect
from the mere jurist or legal functiOnary,
a definite idea of the difference between
cerebral sOundness and mental deficiency,
though considerable light has been thrown
on the question of responsibility in mental
.. diseases by the recent researches OF DIR.
Maudsley, and the official reports of certain
wonderful experiments in animal magnet
ism conducted in the hospital of La Sal
petriere, in Paris
1t would appear to be a pretty generally
received opinion by our most eminent phYSi-
ologists and psychologists, that what we
call insanity (the cerebral disturbance by
which reason is dethrOned). is seldom, if
ever, manifested in the life of single in
dividual- except, perhaps. in the case of
habitual drunkards. Insanity, whether gen.
eral or specific, chronic or occasional, is u.s.
ually the outcome of a tendency gradually
developed and intensified through several
generations. Of every one hundred insane
persons fully ninety per cent are born with
the insane temperament, and are Suscepti-
BILE of mental arrangement on coming in
contact with any cause of excitement or
irritation. Though none of their ancestors
may have been actually or dangerously in
sane. every generation has manifested, to
greater or less extent, cerebral disturbance,
which, though latent under healthful in
fuences. might be readily aggravated to
positive insanity under certain exciting con-
ditiOnS. In such cases, they are worthy of
the most profound compassion, their cOndi-
tion being the result of no excesses or vice
of their own.
Strange as it may seem the possession of
what psychologists term the insane temper
ament. is not always curse to the inher-
itor. Many who might have become insane
under unfavorable circumstances. have by
their startling and impulsive displays of
talent and genius. conferred the greatest

The fountain of content lies in the cOndi-

MONROE.
HYDE-BEARDsLEY.

A pleasant gathering at the spacious
home of DIR f. M. Beardsley, when all
was Joy and gladness in honor of the
marriage of Miss Mary L., youngest
daughter of DR. and Mrs e. M. Beardsley
to Edward Bolton Hyde of Brooklyn,
Rev George Il. Warner of Hartford, an
uncle of the groom, officiating. Miss

wedding march as the bridal party pass
ed through the rooms to the parlors
where, supported by her little nieces.
Misses Ruth and Vera Beardsley, they
listened TO the words which united their

church. Beautiful decorations of plants
evergreens, hot house and wild flowers
made the place bower of sweetness and
the bridal couple stood beneath canopy
of festooned evergreen. ALTERED in suit
of white silk and cashmere. with hand
bouquet of Mermet roses, the bride was
of more than usual beauty and dignity
and the entire occasion was heartily en-
joyed. There were over score OF
friends from Brooklyn and elsewhere.
After sumptuous wedding feast, set of
by pyramid of flowers as a center piece
and inspecting numerous and costly ar
ray of presents, the bridal party took the

Cardinal Newman was passionately
found of music and was a prominent fig
ure at the Birmingham triennial festi-
val. The late Roman Catholic bishop of
Birmingham. DIR Ullathorne, had abso-
lutely no ear for music, hated fiorid mus
ic in church services and periodically is
sued edcts in favor of plain chant. On
one occasion during his visitation, he
reached church where a new organist
had recently taken office. The choir
gave capital rendering of Mozart's
Twelfth Mass, to which DR. Ullathorne's
disgust and after the service the organ
list, having been presented to the bishop
in the vestry, hoped that his lordship had
enjoyed the music. 'sNot at ALL" growl-

the church on the previous Sunday and
had been highly delighted. ''Doubt-

The Hunting Season.

The hunting season has been ushered
in, the happiest season of all the year to
those who love the brown fields and gray
Autumn woods. Their anticipation of
good sport and we'll filled game bags,
this season, has perhaps been more than
for many years. Such year, from JAN
uary to October, for the preservation,
breeding and growth of game birds, the
oldest living hunter, l dare say, has not
seen. The frequent whistle of the quail
and the drumming of the ruffed grouse
Gas that is the proper name of the part
ridge) ought certainly to be plenty and
in the swales and side hills one should
strike the woodcock, for we have had no
cold snaps to drive them to a warmer
climate, which our hunters claim is the
reason we have no woodcock shooting in
Connecticut. We are pleased to notice
that the sport of the field is becoming
more popular and generally recognized,
so much so that fishing and shooting are
no longer regarded as the occupation
of those alone who are unable or unWil-
ling to engage in what some are pleased
to term more useful employment. 1t
was not many years since the general
feeling in this country was so opposed
to the practice of shooting, except by
boys and pioneers, that for business
man to be seen with a gun in his hand
and pointer at his heels was to be os-
tracised by all so-called respectable per-
sons. Fortunately, that day has gone
by. Very many of our most estimable
citizens and not few of our most able
and worthy divines enjoy the gun and
the rod with a zest which proves that
the highest civilization is not incompati-
BILE with the enjoyment of field sports.
The fact is, he who would preserve "a
sound mind in healthy body" must de-
vote some time to recreation and exercise
and what is better than field sports, fish
ing, hunting, riding, etc.?

what an unsavory reputation this Bleeck-

Broadway and the Bower in:th heart OF
possibly the lest hopeful section OF New

church, if any. this mission is carried on,
but it's methods are similar to those OF

ton. The room. which would seat about

Modern waltz music comes almost eX-
clusively from Vienna. Chopin, indeed,
is the only composer not of Viennese
origin who has written perfect waltzes.
Some of the Viennese waltz makers were
not. it is true, born at Vienna. Gungl,
for instance, was a Hungarian. But the
composer is sometimes formed by his au-
dience and at Vienna beautiful waltz is
more readily appreciated than elsewhere.
Lanner, Sabitzky and the Strausses all
belonged by birth or by adoption to Wen
ma. For the last 65 years, all Europe has
danced to the music of waltzes by some
member of the Strauss family; by
Johann Strauss the elder, or Johann
Strauss the younger, or by one of the
brothers of this younger Johann.

But the winds came and the waves rolled

And blotted out the fair impression
Cruel waste, treacherous sand, fragile reed!

But from the highest mountain peaks
I'll pluck the tallest pine
And, dipped in the crater of Vesuvius,
With it / will write
Upon the high and FURNISHED heavens these
