Here. however, that very sensItiveness to rumors
OF impending evil which at this moment lie max
ing itself felt comes in TO check the rising mad
ness and keep IL within manageable bounds. In
these days Of electric telegraphs, when all the
world hears the news of the world every twenty
four hours and oftener. tho ebhs and floods OF
popular enthusiasm occur more frequently and
have n much shorter duration than they other
wise would. II is a true saying that a man can
be wiser than another man, but not wiser than
all other men; and when III men pause to think
on any subject their Judgment prevails.
