CRIME IN PARIS.
Terrible Strides In the Advancement O
Alcoholic Insanity

Terrible Strides In the Advancemen Of
Alcoholic Insanity.
At the police station the quietly dis.
posed are sorted out and separated
from the violent criminals, says
writer in the Fortnightly Review. In
the morning the latter are brought zip
for examination by the chief medical
officer of the prefecture of police, who
does his best to ascertain whether no
has to do with lunatics or malefactors.
The eminent man who has filled this
post for many years is DR.. Paul Gar
nier, and he it was who kindly con-
sented to suspend, in my favor, tho
rule which excludes from his examin.
ingroom all persons who are not MEM
bers of the staff. The small, low-ceil.
inged room has witnessed many
dramas, for between its narrow walls
are conducted nightly the malefactors
whom the Paris police have caught in
the meshes of their nets, They enter
held by each shoulder between two
wardens. In their eyes one reads the
terror of an animal caught in trap.
They are aware that here are the cross
roads where their fate is to be decided
on the right the madhouse, on the left
the convict prison. And ALL whether
mad Or only feigning madness, take
refuge in incoherent or outrageous
language, in stupor or convulsions.
Closely observant, taking notes or
drawing up reports, DR.. GARNER sits
behind his table. Sad indeed, is the
conclusion arrived at by his medical
experience. His figures prove that
during the last sixteen years from
1872 to 1881 lunacy hes increased in
Paris in the proportion of thirty per
cent. This increase is dne to the fact
that two morbid types-general paral-
ysis and alcoholic insanity-are spread
ing to an alarming extent The prog
ress of alcoholic insanity has been so
rapid that the evil is now twice as
prevalent as it was fifteen years ago.
Almost third of the lunacy cases OBJ
served at the Depot infrmary are
due to this disease, and every day it
declares itself more violently and with
more marked homicidal tendency.
The accomplice of two-thirds of the
crimes committed, upos whom the
criminals themselves tr,ow the re-
sponsibility of their e-'l deeds and
whom the police never succeeded in
discovering, exists. Thns accomplish
is alcohol. 1t visits up>h the child the
sins of the father and G sSenders in the
following generation Aomicidal in
stincts.
During the last ten yehrs the crimi
nal type has entered on new phase.
Before that date the assassin was gen
orally man in the igor of hi:
strength and manhood; he had tasted
life in all its forms. SucA were Trop

FOR GIRLS AND BOYS.
DARE.

Dare TO do the best that's in you,
Boys-be not afraid;
Do 1t, though the world oppose you
Thus are heroes made.
To the summit of the conflict
Let your courage grow;
Those that never stem the current,
Never learn to row.
Dare to speak the truth, my boys,
Speak it without fear;
Speak 1t bravely, nobly, boldly,
Though the world should jeer;
AL things else with time may vanish,
Truth must still remain;
Crushed to earth, the sages tell us,
1t will rise again.
Ever onward, ever upward"
Let your watchword be;
In the vanguard plant your colors,
Where the world may see,
Bold inscribed upon your banner,
Justice, truth and right,
Pressing forward, onward, upward.
To the highest height.

Democrat in the country who does not feel
that the comparison is sure to be trying
one. Republican principles and the kepnb-
lican party cannot die, nor lose their hold
upon the minds of men, until some other
party AMI its policy have brought to the
American people greater prosperity than
they nov enjoy, AMI z eater progress than
they have witnessed within the last four
years When the Democratic party has
worked miracles il will be time for Repub-
ijcans TO doubt and despair.
