A DANGEROUS PKRIop.---As the ssasony
moves swif ly toward the boundary lines
that lie between winter and spring, it ffe-
quently happens that the human system,
which has borne the strain Of winter, shows
signs Of relaxation. In all ages this poriod
hss been noted asa dangerous one, especially
to those who have weak constitutions. A
course of the great blood purifier and tonic,
s. s. s., will enable the most delicate to
face The seasons changes with impunity.-
1t is q medicine that not only strengthens
the weak aud the delicate, but is an ad-
djtional safeguard for those who consider
themselves strong.

\ SAD CAsE.-Philadelphia April 21.-
I he stern regulations Of the immigration
law held back weeping husband from his
maniac wife at the wharf Of the Allan Line
steamships yesterday. In mid-ocean mad
ness came upon the woman. who wss on her
-wuy 10 rnis country, md she wos forbidden
TO land and go home to her husbands hearth.
When the steamship Canadian landed-sit
had aboard Mrs. Graz CO Gallagher, who. with
her scven-ye year-old daughter, left her home
in Ireland to join her husband, George
Gallagher, who hns been Philadelphia for
several years. and who, as soon as he was
able to provide n home for his wife and child,
sent for them.
On Friday night, during the prevalence
OF n storm at sea, Mrs. Gallagher became
suddenly violently insane, probably through
fright and had 10 be confined. There was
10 Improvement in her condition when the
vessel reached the dock, and under the new
law, which forbids the landing of an Insane
person OF a criminal, Mrs. Gallagher was
not allowed to land.
The meeting between husband and wife,
who had been parted for several years, was
ECs, pathetic, and when the husband real
Zed thrt his hermate, whom he had left
several years ago in Ireland IN the bloom cf
Aealth, and whose comradeship he had look
Cd forward to, was raving maniac, he was
completely crushed.
Ihe case is u peculiar one, and hardly
anucipated by INC Trainers OF The law. Under
the !Nw the immigration commissioners have
no discretion, it forbids the landing Of
insane persons. The result will be that
Mrs Gallagher, unless che should recover
before the vessel returns, will have to b,
sent back, and husband and wife will bt
parted unless he disposes of his business
in this, the country Of his adoption, and re.
turns with her.

more recent figures are still moro en-
couraging. The growth OF church member
ship since 1880 is more rapid than the
growth of the population. The population
':nce 1880 has perhaps increased little

since that date has increased nearly SO per
