Indoed, thoro scems to bo nothing new; and, wero it not for tho proximity of two or throo watoring-placos, whoso froquonters sro continu- ally suppliod with gracoful trifles from tho Me- tropolis, thoro would really be as groat & dearth oI noveltios as thore scems. ECONOMY WITIl ELEGATIOE. The dolightfully’ temporate and rofroshing woathor, with tho trifling oxcoption of afew days including tho 4th, has rondored it necossary to invent dainty variations of half-cool toilottes, xathor than now styloaof thin dressos. Tho protty and convoniont combination of silk skirta and thin ovor-drosses, though not now, is the provailing modoe at tho watoring-places and su- burban rosorts in this soction. In no way can €0 groat a varioty of costumes bo socured at so emall an oxpenso. Throo or four pale-tinted, plainly-trimmod silk potticoats, with perfectly plain, round walsts, and half-a-dozen gauzo, muslin, lace, and grenadine over-dresses, will carry a lady through a summer-campaign, not only well, but elogantly. Itisthe greateat mis- tako possiblo to suppose thatan infinite and constant altoration of attiro makes a woman & modol for her sex. With most garments, unless they be of extromoly perishable stuff, tho soo- ond or third wenring is by far the most satia- faotory. Tho firat time a gown Is donnod it 1, in a moasure, stiff and unmanagoable, The second timo it is botter Attod, and bogins to as-~ sumo the air of the wearor..

A CIARMING OOBTUME. Thoe new solid colora in foulard are so ex- tromoly protty,—tho materisl boing wido, and chenpor than silk,—that many petticoats are made of it in preforence to inexpensive silk, A charming costumo of this, minglod with French crepo, will 800n go to Long Dranch. Tho color ia that of wood-nehes, tho lower portion of tho own being o single shade darker than tho rest. 'he ekirt—like everything excopt the fullest of full-dress, cut domi-train—is of foulard with {hroo bias flounces, six inches wide, and rolled on the edge with 5 cord of cropo, a shade lighter in the roll. Each flounce is headed by & threo-inch puff of cropo, also rolled, and gathored hslf-an-inch from oach. Each row of trimming {s set au inch above the ono bolow. Tho ovorskirt ia of crepe, edged by threo half-inch alternate folds of fou- 1ard and crepe, wrinkled on the apron, drawn high and far back jn the looplng. 'he basquo, of foulard, has ndccap point behind, surrounde by a ruflle of crepo, doep at the top 'and narrow- ing toward the under-arm seam. The front has a vest of tho crope, cut in two_points below the ‘waist, and finished by two rufiles of crepe and foulard puton to alternate with the vest and body of tho waist, The buttons, peculiarly preity, aro of smokod pearl,—rondoring thom 2lmoat an exaot match for tho color. Tho sleeves ara tight to the arm from shoulder to wrist, and composed of longthwise pufls of crepo. The hands aroe shaded by s double ruflo of wide Valencionnes, which is also thickly plaited in the neck, inside & narrow fraiso of tha ray crepe, lined with rosc-scarlot crepo. A i‘\zoz of Valenciennes and tho red crope, fastened y 8 roso coral pin and-coral Gnr-ringd, fnish this dainty_costume,—sufficiently grave for & Quaker, and elegant onough for & belle. e FRAISES, ETO, Bpeaking, or rathor writing, of fraises, as tho modiuten srofer to_call the simpld, plsited, up- right rufiles so unlvemull{ worn about the neck, puts me in mind of recent styles in them, They 8ro to_becoming that, although originally in- tondod for thick waiats only, they now sppear on all fobrics. F:mumly, they oro made of silk, volvot (gonerally black), crepe, and or- andy, lined with a palo shade of pink, lue, lavender, violet, or imaizo; an fastened under tho plaits -to a mnarrow band which secures thom, and thus permits the ruff to be Lasted to any waist. They aro co- quottisly and singularly sultsblo fo fraaly young ncos ; though tho plain black ones, with full, upright pleitings of "blonde inside, roften tho 3ard linos in worn countenances to a comforting ogroe. mong the othor ounning concoits are tho new half-bodico and half-vests. They arc made iu both crepe and muslin, and aro simple enough to bo done at home by any pair of skillful hands. They fit the back of the waist like vests, and fol- low the figure to tho belt in front, like vests ; i only the two sidos, instead of being closed like n vest, aro throo or four inches apart over tho bust; slope mnearer ot the walst-lino, snd spread apart again bolow, — the intermediate space from tho bust to the point bolow the waist being filled by o narrow picce resombling a bodice. The basis of these vost-bodices is foun- dation lace,—a singlo thicknoss is generally suf- flcient, and much more pliable than when doublo,—and this is coverod with flat, bias, over- lapping folda of the muslin, oropo, or silk, lald on vertically on the vest-part, and acrosa on the bit of o bodice, each fold sloping gently toward the middlo of tho front. The whols is surround- ed by narrow ruflles of muslin, edged with lace, or broad lace, and forms a8 charming & finish as well could bo to a plain silk or foulard dress. TFichus of lace and muslin are beiog worn in deepor points in the back than former- ly; and mow as froquently a8s under the arms withont crossing on tho breast as any way., Lace collars are still inclined to the squars, tab ends in front, and rounding back; but collars ore littlo worn sinco tho advent of the more becoming and less lasting ruflles,—so that their sbapo is hardly a matter of moment. ‘The ornamenting of silk drosses with-¢ulle of |- tho same shade is ono of the favorite styles for midsummer, Hoavy trimmings of tho samo are considered inappropriate to the season; and as black or white lace haa gone by, tho resort is to solf-colored tullo.

A bunch .woght on tho eaeh, just at tho eeparation from the spron, holds & flne groon vine, whiok wronthe the sash till it roachon the knot, and s again caught and hold by another bunch of roses, T'ho neck of the waist is cut rathor low, and pointed in front, {8 sur- mounted by the Inovitable fraiso of tho plnk and white.

From Prof. Tylor’s Addross at Mount Holyoke Seminary, Ma: For mysolf, I havo no projudice against co- oduacation, On tho contrary, I am free to say that, whon the quostion of oponing Amherst Qollego for therccoption of women was undor dis- cussion, I was in favor of trying the experiment. And it is not tolling talos out of school (for it is not a matter which any of us wish to concoal), when I add, that my colleaguos in tho faculty woro gouorally of tho samo sontiment. Wo were willing to try the exporiment. But tvo wero overruled by the Trustoosand the studonts,who, bolngoither more conservativoorlesagallant than tho faculty, combined againet us, and of courso outoumbered us. Truth requires mo to add that wo did not expect the experiment to succeed. Wo belisvo in fair play. Wo believe in giving ovorybody a foir chanco, ond overything that holds out any promiso or prospect of good, n fair trisl. o wo wore willing the oxporiment should be tried, not only in the Weas, whero, as 8t Athons, TI EAINOTERON, something nower, is always tho motto, but (where it Is quite another quostion) in conservative Now England, old Mas- saohusetts, and tried horo undor the most favor- ablo circumsliances, in ono of the youngest col- loges, wheroe Christinn principle has perhaps tho fullest sway over the students, and where tho faculty aro not afraid of new things, simply be- cause thoy are now, but havo alwaya endeavored toact on tho apostolio precept : “Proveall things, hold fast that which is good.” But we expecte tho exporimont to fail, even unor theso circum- stancas. Do you ask why? Not becauss we do not beliove there arc many youug woman who aro fully capablo of competing with young men in the studies of tha oxisting college curriculum. Tacts prove tho contrary, Not beoauso wo fear tho offocts on tho morals of the young men. On the contrary, I boliove their morals and mau- ners would bo fmproved by nssociation with the other sox. ‘If tho oxyurlmuut wero really and permanently successful, it would bo ono of the most cortain and offectual mothods of oxorcising from our collogos somo barbarous customs that have come down from thoe dark uges, and intro- ducing the courtesics and rofinoments of Chris~ tian civihzation Not for these reasons, but for the enme reason that wooxpect the women-suf- frage movement to bo o failure, viz, : Bucauso women—women ganorally—the truost, purest, and bost of tho Bex—do not wish for tho right of suffrago, and that becauso their unerring* instincts and intuitions toll them thoy would loso more than thoy wovld gain by ‘tho ' change, bocause their good 80080 Bud rlghiefeoliuy teacl thom thore is a wiser and botter way of oxorcising their iullu~ enco and blessing mankind. 8o “romen genor~ ally—womenin New England, t}za truost, purast, and bost of tho sex ovorywhore—do uot wish for co-education.

Tho number of young women in that courso, instead of incressing with tho pros- ority .of the institution, has diminished, so fh.: {t now avorages at most only two or threo.

So that if Oborlin had boon only & col- Joge with its four collogiato classos, without any preparatory department, fomnlo sominary, or rofessional schools, tho experiment would have urned out just as it did at Williston Somina and would havo been & failure even there, It could have been made successful at Amhorst, or any othor Now England college only by turning it into univoreity—In other words, only by on- largiug tho accommodntions, changing the eutire systom, and thus nearly doubling the cxpense, and then it would not have been the ideal wo- aman'a collego, Thero would have boen no econo- Ty—which is the great American argument for <o-education—thore would have been little or no advantage for young women in Buch an institu~ tlon—the course established for voung mon would have boon gomplicated, revolutionized, and expouod to now bazards, and after all there would still have boon o more oxcellent way.— Bpringfleld Ropublican. —_——— BE PITIFUL! * Barth n I Tt vor SO Taveber Slpuieg Oh, graclous, tender God !

Tho Immense Dismal Inland Eon of Flor- ida Partinlly Explored. Intoresting Discoveries--Exporionces of a Tive Days’ 8ril. Fort Lloyd, Fla, (Juns 18), Correspondencs of the. New York Herald, A party of ndventurous men have succoodod rocontly in making thoir way to the shore of Lnko Okoochoboe, aund in carrying out a partial exploration of this groat, diemal lako, whioh lics In tho midst of tlie gloomy swamps and sombro forosts of Bouthorn Florida, Tho ox- ploration, not having boen goneral, has not olicitod that full and accurato knowledgoe of tho Inko, which would have boon more satisfactory; ot 1t has resulted, at lonnt, in giving us much information that is decldedly curious snd in- toresting, nnd in oponing n now flold for dis- covery, limited perhaps, but worthy of being followed up. Concerning Lake Okecchobeo comn- patativoly littlo has boon. hithorto definitely known, oxcopt in rogard to its goographical posi- tion and the poouliar charactor of its shiorea, It is from twonty to forty miloa wide, and is sup- posed to bo ovor sixty miles in length, and to cover an aroa of moro than'3,000 squaro miles. It is surrounded on evory side, oxcopt the north, by doneo foreats of cypross and pino and vast and ahmost impenotrable swamps. The groat savannohs strotch away from tho northorn shore of this lako, which upon this sido I8 func- cossiblo, oxcopt at occasional points. Tho tall roods, which grow in marvellous profusion upon this shore, concesl the Inke from view, so that thoso who approach it on that sido can judge of its proximity only from the marshiness of the land and hazy appenarance of the sky. Thoso who advanco onward toward tholake find that tho rapidly-incronsing marshingss of tho soil ronders it unsafo, or rather impossible, to pro- cood far in that direction, and that long before tho margin of the lnko could bo renched tho cozy mire would cuvelopoany croature so unfortunate 08 to vonturo into it. 'Thus hemmed in by groat FORESTS, SWAMDS, AND MIRES, tho shoro of this lonoly lako can bo reached at comparativoly fow places, and even thon on) with considerable difiiculty, for tho donso grow of roods at one point or mnsses of tangled juni- por at another.dmpedo overy awf, and in addi- tion to this the gront possibility that oach next step may precipitato one into the middlo of & treacherous quicksand, the ol of o deadly coppor snako, or the lair of sowmoe ravonous wolf, is sufli- cient to deter any but the more resolute from proceoding far, Few whito men ovor visit tho shoro of thin dismal and isolatod lake, and oven tho Indiaus, in their various mi- grations, lonve it far to ono sido. All who have visited it conour in thoir accounts of its forbid- ding aspeot, and esy that an sir of deathly stille nees and of or’pmuulvu solitudohangs like a cloud sround and above tho region of this groat lake of the swamps, Bomo havo returned from their visits to the lake with exciting storics of mid- night conflicts which they claimed to havo had yith forocious bonats of _peculisr spacias to by found only in this wondorful region ; othors tell moro modest but not less strango tales of ourious forms of animalia which they have seen rise for » momout abovo, and ngain disappear into tho bosom of this mysterious water. ADVENTUROUS SOLDIERS FEAR TO VENTURE, Boveral United Btates forts aro situated in this portlon of Florida, sume in tho vory vicinity of this lako; but its uninviting character, and tho entire abignce of euitablo monns for exploring, havo combiucd to diecourage those who woro strifoned thoro from making any oxtousive ob- gorvations; so that succoading garrisons, from timo to timo, wont to and came away from thoro, and while oach wondored what this curious water containad, all wore compolled to lenve without unveiling the sscrets’of this socluded lnko. AN INTEWESTING ACCOUNT BY AN EXPLORER. Tho following patticulars of the recout ex- ploration aro given by Mr. Goorge X. Allon, a rovidont of Ban Marig, Fla.: Tho oxploring party numborod fivo, . Allen being one of the numbor, The most #orious obstacle which the oxplorors ad to contond with was the great dif- ficulty which thoy had oxperionced in gelting their boat, which wan about thirty fva fant long, to tho lake, ‘Thoy accomplishod this by cou- yoying their boat” up tho 8t Lucie River to” a poiut about fifteon miles from old Tort Von Swearingon. The boat was thon landed and placed upon a truck sud conveyed in that manner overland. This undortaking was at- tended with almost infinite difliculty, for their way led noross the Alpatiokeo Swamp, and al- though they wore less than twenty miles from Lake Oloschobes, whers thoy loft the river, thoy did not reach it until nearly four weoks af- torwards. Upon omorging from the swamp thoy found that a wide quicksand, over which it way impossiblo to pass, lny between thom nnd the lake; but, fortunately, they discovered at no groat distanco from thero s small bayou leading :o rhn lnke, which affordod them sn ensy passago 0 it. A8 TIEY SAILED OUT UPON THE LAKE they could see nothing to the wost or northwest but a wide expanse of water, while to the south- wost an island was in sight, about five miles dis- tant from thom, and apparently not far from tho shore. To this island they dirccted their course. Althongh thoy wero now upon the lako, which thoy had toiled for so long a timo, and through #o many diffcultios, to roach, thoy did not expe- rionco that keon sonso of ploasurg which thoy had expected thoy would, for myriads of mosqui~ toes, gallinippers, bugs, bees, and flies woro whirling, singing, and Duzzing sbout their heads. Tho party, Lowover, wore provided with voils and glovos, hoving anticipated such encountora; and, although each particular inscct was soom- ingly actuated by an irresistible doesire to inflict discomfort upon the party to the fullest oxtont of thoso powers with which naturc hasgo lavishly ondowaod him, the explorers cacaped compara- tively unscathed. When they wers about twa miles from the shore, tho dopth of tho lako was found to bo but little ovar five fect, and as they approached tho island it becamomuch sballower, 80 much so that they wore unablo to bring their boat nearer than about 300 yards to the island, This island thoy wore dissppointed to find was vory small, in fact they woro not able to toll whother it was really an island or limg!y a growth of reods from the bed of the lake, Thero wore numorous other islands of this samo char- aoter in aight, but only ono of them had any trees upon it, and this was o small island and tho treos small oyprosses. Tho lake in the vi- ctnity of these islands litorally BWABMED WITH ALLIOATONS, many of them boing of monstrous mize and un- comfortably tamo. This fact, in connoction with the insignificant appearanco of the islands, induced the party to romain but a short time in this violmty, and loaving thom thoy sailed to- wards the oontre of tholake, After they bad eailed about cight miles in that direction” thoy wero no longor annoyed by their Insoctilo ene- mies, nor ere thero any alligators to be seen. The water, which near tho shoro is of a brownish color, now began to be very clear, and, baving dru_rpnd a line lnto it, thoy found tha the lake was 170 foot dosp. At a dlatance of about 18 miles from the shoro the 'Ynfln{ discov- ored & group of threo islands. The largest of those islands was about 6 miles long, from north to south, and fully 4 milos wido. Tho northorn portion of thisisland was a barren, rocky wasto, which extended back from the shora nearly a milo and a half, to the basoof a lino of rocky cliffs, about 160 feot high, which oxtondod across tho whole width of tho island. ‘I'a the south of theso cliffs is a magnificent for- ost, composied chiefly of malogany, palmotto, and laurol magnolia. Many of the lattor treos {;:nmd thoir grand heads to nearly a level with 0 BUMMITS OF TIE OLIPES and, being fu full bloom, presentod nn _onchant- ing acouo, in which wild hoauty gracod a stately grandour, I'lis forest extonds over tho whole of thesouthern portion of tho Island, oxcopt to within a fow hundred yards of the shoro, whick at every poiut is sandy and covered with rocks. ‘' {sland next In size s _about one-fourth of amilowost of this largo island. Itw north- orn point reachios to noarly the contro of tho Iarge eland, aud oxtouds southward to sbout & milo bolow tho wsouthornmost part of the dsland, Whiw island i about four miles lvlhg d a milo and a half wide, and is coverod by a forost liko that. on the argo juland. Tho third s quite swsll, boing only about one mile long aud from & helf 10 throe-quarters of u mile wide, Itis nearly duc north of the largest island, and, like tho north- eru part of that island, {1 barron and rooky. ‘I'he water botwoon all theso {slands s very shallow, and it is not improbable that st souto former poriod they woro all jomed togother, in which ocaso ~ thoy formod an island of 8 vory rospoctablo aros. Vory fow anlmalé of ‘anmy Lkind, and nouo of o wuvage mnature, were found upon theso islands, Among the fow that the party did sco wore some of a specios different from auy thoy biad qver boforo soon, Theso suimals wore of & light groyleh color, and, in form, very closcly re~ uomblod a mink, hoy'ivod 16 Lolos burrowod in tho ground noar tho *ootu of troon, Thoy ato romarkably floot in tholr movomonts, and whon- over alarmod by tho n{mmunh of tho oxplorors batook thomsolven to thoir holes with such gront rapidity that sovoral shotas wero fired at them be- foro ono was killod. 3 A GIANT 8PIDER, In the forests, spidersof n gigantic spocie wero found.

Nono of the ruins were oxtonsive, and tho.structires must, thorofore, havo beon of small dimonsions.

The action of this drug was very carofully studied A0MO yonra ago by M, Moreau, Physician to the Bicotro, who had givén great attontion to tho peychology of Inganity, and whose special object was to throw light upon that subjoct by oxperi- menting upon what ho tormed its artificial pro- duction, IHis troatise, *“Du IHachisch, ot do I'Allonation Mentalo ™ (Parls, 1845), Is ono which dosorves Lho attontive study of such ns destro to baso thoir psychology upon a compre- honive strvoy of facts, Ono of tho first offects of the IHashish, ns of other intoxicating ngonts, 18 tho gradual wonk- ening of that power of Volitionally controlling and dirooting the ourrent of thought, tho pos- session of which charactorizes the vigorous mind, The Iudividdul focls bimsolf incapabls of fixing hix attention upon any subjoot ; tho cou- tinuity of hiu thoughts being continunlly drawn off by n succossion of disconnccted ideas, which forco themsolves (as it wore) intd his mind, without his being ablo in tho leaat to traco thoir origin.

And this modification of tho normal form of mental activity is clently rafor- ablo to the porversion of tho normal detion of the blood upon the brain, which is due to tho introduction of a now physical agent into tho formor. - Tho_production of orrora of percop tlon, nrising from the tondency to magnification of tho impressions aotually mado on tho konmos, is o )cmllinrhl? intorosting foature. of this per- vorefon ; which is clonrly n menfal misintorpro- tation, not at all corrosponding to tho mero double vision of tho drunken man, which is an orror of sense ariging from the temporary want of adjustmont of the axes of the eyor. And with ‘this mngn(flcnllan thero is connecled n soutiment of happiness which attends all the oporations of the mind. “I i renlly happiness,” says M. Moraan, “ which is produesd by tho hnnhlglx; d by this I imply an onjoymont ontirely motal, and by no monns gonsual, 18 wo might be induced to sup- pose.

At fonst, 60 far as rolatos to - thut of which we 'aro internally couscious, thero is no diatinction botweon theao two orders of sonsations, in epito of the civorsity in the causos to which thoy are due; for tho hashish-cator is Lappy, not liko tho gourmand or the famished man whon satisfyiug bir appe- tito, or tho voluptuary in gratifying bis nustive dosiros ; but liko him who heors tdings which Al bim with joy, liko tho mixor counting his treasuros, tho gambler who is succeasful st play, or tho ambitious man who Is intoxicated with Buecoss," Most porsona will 1o abla to_xecall analogonrs statos of oxhilaration, and tho roverso coudition of deprossion, in thomuolves ; the former being churactorizod by o fecling of gouaral well-boing, a_sontimont of plonsuro in the use of sl thie bodily and montsl powers, and w dis- position to look with onjoyment upon tho pres- ent, and with hopoto tho future; whiloin the lat- tor atato thoro is o faoling of genoral but jnde- finablo discomfort. Every oxertion, whother montal or bodily, is folt s a burden ;' tho pres- - entis woarlsomo, aud tho future iv gloomy. Thogo, like all otlior phnges of human nntw, aro falthfully portrayed by Bhakepeare, "Thus Romeo givos expronsion to the faolings inspived by the first state: My bosom's lord stfs lightly in kis throne ; And, all this day, sn nnacenstomed apirit Lifts ;o abovo tho ground with clicorful thoughts," (Lomeo and Juiiet, \.,, 1,) Whilo the rovorse stato is dolineated by Hamlet in Lis familiar soliloquy : *I ivve of Into—but wherefore T know not—Ioat ull my mirth, foregone nll citatom of oxercires ; and, in- dced, 1t goes 80 heavily with my disposition, thut this goodly frame, the wrth, scems to mo o aferils promati- tory ; tuis most excelléont canopy, tho i, look you— tila Brave o'orbanging Arwnment, this wojestic roof frotted willg goklen fire, why it appears no other thinyg tome than s foul and pesillent congregation of vie pors,"—tulet, IL, 2, In tho conditions here roforrad to, the anmo fooliugs of ploasuro aud discomfort’ attend alt tho oporations of the mind—the meroly sensn- tional and tho jutollectunl, In the stafo of cx- hilaration, wo feel a gratification frons sonsu- tions which at othor times pass unuoticad, whils thoso which aro usually pleasurable are romarkn- Lly onbanced; aud, in like manner, the traing of idons which are atatod boing gonorally ai- tondcd _ with _wimilar ngrecublo feolings, wé n1a 8aid to bo under the influcuce of tho pleasurablo or olovating omotions. On tho otliar baud, in tho stato of dopreswion wo feol an indoseribable discomfort from tho very senuntions which Lo- fore producod the liveliost uratification ; aud the thoughts of tho_ pant, tho prosoat, and the futuro, which wo hoforo dwalt on with elinkt, now excite no foelinga but thoto of puid, OF ut porsons in whom thicsa ‘bost of insouciance. Now, there are many 2 oppoyite ewmotionnl states are induced by Protourological conditions ; the one by ndry, clear, bright atmosphoro: tho other by that close, damp, mug(fi " state of the air, which gooms tolay a ** wot blanket” upon all their cu- joyment, both bodily and mental. And precieely tho ssmo depressing influence is often cxperi- cenaed from detlciont action of tho liver, causing an accumulstion of the matorials of bile in tha blood ; and itis just as apparent to the physi- cinn that tho olimination of theuo by approprisia rotsodiey, 80 at lo reatore tho blood to its nor- mol purity, thordby removes_the moral depres- sion, an ftis thol the introduction of a minute quantity of hashish info the blood producesr a moral exaltation. In those days of esger compotition, agaln, it is * oxtramoly common for n payahical state to bo iu- duced by the overtaming of tho brain, which overy intelligent medial practitioner rocognizrs es esgontially physical b its origin, but whica yet manifents itsolf chialy in moral, and not un- Zroquontly, also, in intelsotual perversion. Tha excous of activity is fdlowed, a8 its naturul rosult, by n stato of dopiersion ; in which the subjoct of it looks =t evewything, past, preseu, and future, in & gloomy light, as through & dark- encd glass. His wholo lifo bas been evil; hio has brnu‘fiat ruin on higaffairs ; l'a doarcst fiionds ara in loaguo to injuro him. At first this moral por- voreion extonds iteelf only fo n misroprosonta tion of actual occurrances, waich only differs in dogreo from that which wo obiorve in persons of a morose temper._ But, with ho advauce ot the disorder, the mind dwells on its own morbid imaginings, till thoy come to tako tho place of actual facts ; andin this way hallucinations sro goneratod—I. a., creations of the imagination, Which are socopted as real ocourronces, Now, here there is no primary intolloctual perversiou ; the roasoning powers are nat disturbed ; ihe pationt can disouss with perfect mau- ity any question that does not touch his morbid foolings; but the reprosontations shape: by Lis own mind, under the influence of thoxo feclings, being receizod an traths to tho evclu- sion of hia common-sonso, all his actions are baged on thoso errongous data. This condition is moroly an intonsification of that just de- soribod ; and the pysician can no more doubt that it depends upos an unhealthy condition of the hodily frame, than that tho delirium of fover and the fantasia of hashish are depsudent upon tho presonca of a poisen in the blood. e g An Adroit IRobbery. From the Paris Figaro, There aro in Parig two or three women whosa noandnlous fortune has romoved thum from tha domi-monde, snd placed them in a world spart. One of theso women is notorious throughout Buropo for adventures, and hor diamouds are gaid to bo worth 8,000,000 francs.
