article on General Pareais Of the Insane"
which attracted wide and deserved atton-

Mr.. Q. Il. Lawrence, a banker and men,
ing upon this subject, said: Amy one who
has ever been in the New York stock ex-
change, or has witnessed the amount of
mental pressure that involves, does not need

Gently seen ut tho house OF representatives
in Washington, added his testimony in the
following %outspoken words: 1.-The exhaus-
