A Study of Some Lunatics.

eff you knew some of the lunatics
here as well as do, said the physician
of an insane asylum; you would enjoy
their acquaintance. There are men
here with whom / pass hours in CONVEX
sation on agreeable topics, and 1 am
often among them when they are talk
ing with each other. Some of them are
fully aware that their minds are dis
eased, and they know that they are
under treatment just as they would be
if they were suffering from any physical
ailment. One of them said to me, 4
know am crazy, and, as I do not be-
lieve l will ever be straight in the head,
/ am content to stay here all my life.
Another one gave me a learned account
of the symptoms of lunacy, which he
said he possessed. and which became
active while he was talking. There are
all kinds of people here, but there is
rarely case of man who is always
raving mad Even the violent patients,
as a rule, are violent only at times, and
| can get along with them in their lucid
intervals. O, yes. a proportion of them
are discharged cured, and we never hear
of them after they leave the asylum. -

Portraits of Great Men.

It would be great help if with every
picture of a man could be published a
little table setting foHh his height and
weight and other physical characteris-
tics. Sheridan on the $40 bill looks as
large as Hancock on the 50 bill; but
Hancock was head taller than Sheri-
dan, and would have made two of him.
Grant was not tall man. Oliver Wen
dell Holmes isn't five feet six; probably
five feet three is nearer his height.
Maurice B. Flynn, always depicted in
evening dress, was short and slender.
Powderly is short. The caricatures of
many well-known men misrepresent
their size, possibly with intention.
George William Curtiss is tall, sssbig"
man, not in the least wasp-waisted.
Sir John Macdonald the ruler of Cana
da, is not the tall man that his pictures
make him. but is short, slender and
STOPPING. Stanley, the explorer, is very
short. Longfellow's leonine head
seemed to imply a large body but the
poet was short man. So one might go
through a long list of famous persons
whose photographs show their faces,
but do not give any real idea of the men
who own the faces.-N. Y. World

of Fife is highly interesting little

While the highest legal advisers of the
crown have given the opinion that
she should rank as a princess of the

otherwise, and the little girl must
therefore be content, as she grows up,
with the rank and title of the daugh-
ter of duke. Yet, Notwithstanding
this, the child future will be watched

The Democratic governor of Michi-

Yesterday he vetoed bill appropri-
ating from the state treasury $780,
900 for the entertainment of the
Grand Army of the Republic in De-
troit. He did this because he be-
lieved it wrong thus to dispense the
money derived from taxation of the
people. All honor to him The
Grand Army of the Republic costs
the people of this country too much
already. 1t has bankrupted the Ma
tional treasury by it's drafts for pen
sions. At each annual meeting it de-
vises some new scheme to rob the
people in the name of patriotism.
