Do people in trouble ever really die Of 81
broken hearth" The late Sir George Paget, in
one Of his lectures just published under the
editorship Of his son by Messrs. Macmillan,
acknowledges that in the vast majority OF cases
thus popularity described there IL nothing like
an actual rupture Of the heart; yet he admits
that mental affections Will not infrequentiy
cause real disease Of the body, and he mentions
an actual case Of broken heart cited by DIR. ].
X. Mitchell Of the Jefferson College, Philndel-
phia, in lecturing to his pupils. In an early
period OF his life DIR. Mitchell accompanied as q
surgeon packet that sailed from Liverpool to
one OF the American ports. The captain fire.
quently conversed with him respecting Q lady
who had promised to become his bride on his
return from that voyage. Upon this subject
he evinced great warmth Of feeling and showed
some costly jewels and ornaments which he in
tended to present as bridal gifts. On reaching
his destination he was abruptly informed that
the lady had married some one else Instantly
the captain was observed to clasp his hand to
his breast aud fall heavily to tha ground. He
was taken up and conveyed to his cabin on
board the vessel. DIR. Mitchell was immedi.
ately summoned, but before he reached him
the captain was dead. A post-mortem exam
nation revealed the cause. His heart was
found literally torn In twain. The tremendous
propulsion Of blood (adds the narrator) conse-
quent upon such . violent nervous shock forced
the powerful Muscular tissues asunder and life
was ct An end.

Command OF the Ire asury.
No better indications of the restored conf
Gence in the financial si:ua ion is necessary
than the fact that 10 gold exports were made
from New York today. and it does not appear
now tina: any large amount viii go out on
Tuesday, and perhaps none at all.
The plain statement made to the New York
bankers by Secretary Carlisle appears to have
aliGyed the apprehension that existed. Gold Of
fers continue to be made. the lat city TO offer
assistance being Little Rock. Ark. which sends
1000 600. the gold TO be excIGT Ced for legal
tender. All these offers are being accepted and
if necessary can be called for by the Treasury
Department at any moment. but until the ex-
change is actually made the free gold does not
appear on the treasurer's daily state
ment. which accounts for the
fact that the books of the department show
only $50, 900 Of free gold. although the amount
which Secretary Carlisle could utilize is proba-
bly, little over 81. 600 900.
Assistant Secretary Hsmlin is much pleased
at the situation. which he described this morn
ing being most promising.
The statement of Secretary Carlisle that
every effort of the administration will be
exerted in the direction of the repeal of
the Sherman silver law" is regarded
here AZ an anti-silver edict, and
the announcement has aroused and placed on
the alert the free silver advocates the latter
assert that thew ready for the battle and
every thing promises lively silver fight In the
