Ono of the strangest criminals ever placed at the bar in modern times was recentlytried at the Correctional Tribunalof Bourges. Tho prisoner gsve his name 88 Jean Baptiste Lafosse, born in 1615 ot Villebsudon, When & lad he showed re- markshle powers of oratory and s mania for ing sarmons to his school-fellows. At the ago of 15, boweser, he was convicted of swind- ling, and was gent to prison for two months. When released ha wewt to preaching sgain; but, at the age of 22, he was condemned for swind- Hng s eecond time, and had to pass five years in prison. On leaving prison he donped the garb o a priest, but two yoars later he was found guilty of forgery, sxd was sentenced to hard labor for ten years. When his term was out he changed his name, became & servant, snd afterwards an attendant jnw hospital, He then put on the surplice, booght a ring aud & cross, and preached in the Dioceses of Rbeims, Meaux, and Rennes as a member of the Order of Bt. Louis of Gonzaga. In tho Diocesa of Clermont, in 1863, he preached aremarkable sermon, which msde many con- verts; but, while holding forth in Tou- louse, he got into more trouble, and was de- tained in prison eleven months before the sathorities conld find out who he was. - When they did so, he was sentenced to five years’ im- prisonment. In 1869 he was released again, and weat to Italy to found a convent of the Order of i Bt. Francia of Assisi, and was preaching in be- Palf of this order when arrestod the last time. He had been received by the Archbishop de la Tour d'Auvergne and by the clergy of the dio- oese with the greatest reapect, and ever made & deep impression upon the Court by hia venera- ble and prophet-like appearance and his unusaal eloquence of epeech. Thus the man's life has ‘boen slternately spent in prison and the pulpit. Underneath the gown of the priest was the shirt of the galley-slave, and the arms which were spread out in blessing over multitudea of people wera marked with the scars of the chain; to-day converting people to Christianity by his eloquencs, and to-morrow working at the chain- gang; one day sitting at the table with Bishops and Archbishops, and the next the companion of malefactors. As a reprosentative of the highest and lowest phases of character his tecord is well-nigh unique. There have been in- stanoes of men preaching the Gospel and going to the Penltentiary at one epoch of their lives, but we have never before heard of an instance where & man peraistently followed this dual mode of life from youth up, and devoted him- solf both to the pulpit and the Penitentiary with oqual assiduity and zeal 2 ) The Virginia City (Nev.) Enferprise tells a story which, if it is not true, is neurly a8 good as it it were, As s pleasant *Battlo of Dorking” ecnsetion with ‘s moral, it is capital. When Aleris was in the United States, the *‘fluffy- baired scion” received love-letters from ladies of alf conditions, written with an assurance that *fnust have startled the royal scion, and filled his ardent soul with satisfaction tbat he was only & visitor and not & native of this great country. The story, which commences at this point, is, that while Alexis destroyed about four tons of this sort of literature, he kept & iuw speci- mens for private circulation. Theso were done up in fine packages and seut to St. Petersburg by an ordetly. This fellow gave up four of the l packages and retained one. Alexis learned of the robbery, and there was consternation in tho f, Cepital The police of Russia were on the alert. The robber was hunted for in every part of Europe, and found in Belgium, quictly prepar ln5 the letters for the press. Half of them were elready in type. The Czar demsnded his wrrest, but there was no extradition treaty ex- Isting between the two countries. Fortunately. it was discovered that the orderly had not ob- 8 tained a license to publich the epistles, and he wis arrested, eent to Ruseia, and thence to Biberia, while the precious documents were restored to Alexis. It would bave been 8 termible geandal 1f some of these exquisite little pieces of immodesty and servile sucbbery had been published to the world with the fair writer's sutograph attached. True <t not, the story is worth heeding. The Enfer- Prise claims that iz is true, and can support its stary by competent witnessess, e Formore than a quarter of & century Louis 4gusiz was conceded to be ‘one of tho grestest scientists, not only in'this country, butin the 3 ' vould His contributions to the sum of human knowledge have boen many and varled, and of the greatest interest and value.

RESPONSIBILITY IN MENTAL DISEASE. By Hex. RY MATDSLLY, M. D., Professor of Medical Jurispra- den e {n Univraity College, London. New York: D, appl)gwh & Co. io74. (Internationsl Sclentific So- s, ‘When Dr. Robert Hall, in replying to the quos- tion of a visitor to the asylum in which he was confined, as to wWhat bronght him there, ex- claimed: “What will never bring you bere, sir,—brains!” he, consciously or unconsciously, touched the -very foun- dation upon which the modern idea of insanity is grounded. Tho monstrons doctrine which looked upon an insane person as one possessed of an ovil spirit, placed within him by & supernatural operation, divine or dia~ bolical, 88 the case might bo, to torture, worry, and agonize him; and who, being cast out from among men, was deemed & it object for turture and confinement in this world,—thereby only working out a redemption from the lusts of the flesh and the sin of the world,—is the fruit of the theological and metophysical spirit which looked upon the body as a prison- house from whioh the imprisoned epirit strug- gled to be free. All knowledge of tho mind be- ing obtained by an observation of self-conscious- ness, men, fecling that they themselves had s conscionsness of right snd wrong, mever doubted that the madman had s like con- scionsnees, and a like will to exccuto it. Holdimg, thersfore, that the insane could, if they would, restrain thelr actions, they used all means of punishment—the whip, dungeon, chains—to coerce them; and, down to within the memory of mea now living, says Dr. Maudsley, this system prevailed. Happily we have fallen upon beiter times, and it is duo to the views we now hold, that the origin of men- tal disease is in the disordered function of & bodily organ—tho brain. Whatover be the esséntial nature of mind; and whatever opinion we may hold of its independence of matter, if the nervous system, through which its manifesta- tions take place, be sound, its action is sound ; it diseased, its action is unsound. However, it is not alone the brain, but the entire organism, that requires study to Arrive at s eound knowledge of the ceuses which influence montal disease, e0 intimately connected through the warious orgaus are the nerves in their distribu- tion thronghout the body. TUnder this view of the phenomena of insani- ty,—i. e., that tho capacity and workings of the insane mind aro due to physical (aud, through them, moral) canses,—the question of the re- sponsibility of the insane assumes s megnitude which, under the old ides, it did not possess. It is this question of responsibility which at pres- ent gives the question of inssnity in connection with erime such importaoce ; which is the canse of so much misundorstanding sud ignor- anco; which serves to closk evil deeds in all grades; which prevents sny fixed legal standard by which to messure punishment; which aronses respective- Iy the foars of men when some great crime octurs through insufficient restraiut of the in- sane, and their sympathies when tho punishment (a8 too often happens) reaches the verge of barbarity; and leaves the entiro subject of the control of the insane in a state of uncer- tainty &nd insecuriiy, governed by the vacillating judgment of terror and pas- sion. But it is daily becoming more Apps- rept that *they arc meither accidents nor anomalies in the universs, but come by law and testify to causality ; and it is the business of Science to find out what tho causes are, and by what laws they work. There is nothing acci- dental, nothing supernatural, in the impulso to o right or in the impnlse to do wrong; both come by inheritance or by education; and Science can no more rest content with the ex- planation - which sttributes oneto the grace of Heaven, and the othor to the malice of the Devil, than it could rest content with the ex- planation of insanity 88 & possession by the Devil.” It is not necessary here to give the classifica- tion of the different grades of mental disease. In some, the derangement ia general, the person exhibiting various delusions; in others, it is limited to one subject or s certain order of ideas, the understanding being clear in other matters. In some, be is elated, confident, selfy complacent; in o'hers, depressed, wrotched, and distrustful. From theso states he finally falls into & demented state, in which the mind bocomes destroyed t hrough disease. In others, morbid impulse (without delusion) may take ch despotic poescssion cf tae patient as to drive him, in epite of reason and ngainst his will, tos desperate act of suicide or homicide. ‘Fhere i still another clae~, in which there is an amazing moral insensibility, in which tho patient Beems incapable of doing or appreciating good and right sctions. The common opinion is, that insane persons must exhibit some delu- sions, ravings, or extravsgance of conduct, or some marked symptom of madness; and that, failing in this, they connot be mad. This {e'not g0, unfortunately, because some of the most dangerous cases of disease are of this kind, the insanity aisplaying itsclf, not in thought, but in scts. Here the medical joins iesue with the legal profession; and it meeds but o hasty examination of Dr. Maudsley's arguments to show the resder that, as to the question, to what extent the insane are responsible and shonld be ‘punished for their acts, both the ordinary and legal minde are in an extremely backward and ignorant condition. Much advance has, how- ever, been made in this direction, snd the prog- ress has been more rapid in the United States than in England, the Eoglish Bench having shown far less comprehension of the matter than our own. In a chapter on the ¢ Prevontion of Insanity,” Dr. Maudsley considers its causes and its pre- vention. The chief factors in the causation of insanity are hereditary influence and intempor- ance ; and upon these topics is presented mach by way of suggestion. With regard to the exer- cise of self-control in insaity, he sava: “It would be quite useless to inculcate rules for self- formation upon one whoso character had taken a certain mold of development ; for character is a slow ard gradusl growth through action in relation to the circumstances of life ; it caonot be fashioned suddenly-aud through reflection only. Icanpotbut think that moral philose- phers have sometimes exsggerated grestly the direct power of tho will, 8 sn abstract entity, over the thoughts and feelings, without, at the same time, haviog taken sufficiont account of tha glow and gradust way in which the concrete will itselt must bo formed. The culminating effort of mental development, the final blossom of human evolution, it beiokens a physiological development as real, thongh not as spparent, 83 that which distinguishes tho nervous system of man from that of one of the lower animals. Time and systematic exerciso aro necessary to the gradual organization of the structure which ghall manifest it in foll function. No one can resolve successfully, by a mere effort of will, to ihink in a certain way, or tofeelin 8 certain way, or evon—which s casier—to sct always in accordance with certain rules; but he can, by scting upon the circumstances which will in turn sct upon him, imperceptibly modify his character. Hecan thus, by calling external cir- cumstances to his aid, learn io withdraw his mind from one train of thought and feeling, the activity of which will thereupon subside, and can direct it to sootber train of thoughtand feeling, which will therefore become active; and 80, by constant watchfulnesa over himself, and by habitnal exercise of will in the required uirec- tion, bring cbout, insensibly, the formation of snch o Labit of thought, fecling, and action as homay wish to sttain unto. He can make his character grow by degress to the ideal which he sets before himself.” The subject of insanity is & momentous one. It is fraught with much that is of vital impor- tance to us and to our descendants. It haunts our most sacred and intimate relations, hanging ever like & black clond above tho horizon of our pocil intercourse. To the end of s proper upderstanding of its causes and prevention, to lessen ils sum uvom earth. to palliste and _modify ita existence where it is inevitable, too wideand too accurate s koowledge of its phases and conditions it is not ‘possible to spread among men. Already, in the treatment of insanity, we have witnessed & great and hopeful change ; and each new step of Beience tending to its prevention and extinction is to be hailed as a benefaction to maukind. Viewed in this light, Dr. Maudsley's book appears to us timely and valuable, as bringing within the reach of every person the facts, which, to the multitude, are often inacces- sible in the medical and scientific journals. —— The St. Louis Globe of tho S0th ult. contains some extremelv interesting facts concerning the Southern floods, gathered from interviews with stesmboat Captains. From the burden of their testimony, it is apparent that there are two causes to which this unprecedented disaster is ‘due, first, tbe conticual high water in the Ohio and its tributarics during the winter and spring, and the excessive rains in the Sonthern country; and, second, tho defective system of levees which confines tha waters within artificial banks, instead of giving them sn oatlet through the tiibutary bayous and eloughs. A curious fes- ture bas been noticed in connection with the ef- fect of tho present loveo syatem. Capt. O'Neale, of the Capital City,—and other Captains corrob- orate him,—says : I notice one peculiarity not observed in previous overilows. I found tuat many bars and under points are above high water mark. This is sccounted for by the manxer of building lovees, and _demonstrates that thero is _vital defect in the protective levoe system, and that we need more outlet to drain off this surplus of water instead of walling it in with high banka, The bars are now higher than they ever were before, The building of levees higher each year and closing bayous has raised the bars, and, in fact, the bed of the river higher than the adjaceut lands, If the Government dves not inaugurats a new system of leveeing, the en- tiro lower valley of the Aisaissippi will become an un- productive waste. All the steamboat Captaing are of the opinion that what the country wants is an outlet for the surplus water, and not a confinement of it to one channel, and that the adjacentlands need the deposits which the surplus water would car- 1y over them. B S — ‘Wisconsin’s new Railway law bears gome marks of apprentice hands. To illustrate: Sec. 4 provides that the rate for carrviog lumber shall be €8 per car-load for the firat twenty-five miles, $5 for the second twenty-five miles, and not oxceeding £2 for each additional twenty-five miles or fractional part thereof, unless the fraction be less than thirteen miles. Apply theso rates to a shipment consigmed, say, seventy-five miles, gixty-three of which sre on the Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway and twelve on the Northwestern, and the division would be: . & St P. R R,, 1 car-load lumber, 63 miles. C.&N.W.R B, 1 car-losd i livering.. And the reason for this sing be found in Sec. 5 of the same act, which pro- vides that *‘ the distance for carrying such freight shall be computed from where it is received, notwithstanding it may pass from one railroad to another.” TR The City of Berlin ought to be & good place for missionary effort. At a recent meeting of the Diot of the Lutheran Church, held in that city, it was asserted that ont of 400,000 nominal Lutheraps only 10,000 ever go to church. As to boptiem, the statistica show that of the 658,000 Protestants in_Berlin only one-third of the children are baptized, and only one-seventh of the dead are buried with religious rites. The Cross Gazelle says Borlin has fawer churchos for its size than any other city in Christendom. This sad condition of things ought to attract the attention of the propagandists. Herais a field for Brother Moody, in which he might win imperishablo laurels. We sincerely bope that Brother Moody will visit Borlin before be comes Lbome. —_— There i8 evidently a still concealed somewhers in the vicinity of Bald Mountain, or & soul or two yet unconverted. The intestinal grorning of that venerable excresence has been renewed, axd the prayer-meetings are again largely at- tended. If the Internal-Revenue officers doo't join with the revivalists and bave the guilty par- ties hunted up, removed, or properly dealt with, we decline to promise that the mountain will not break out in something more disastrous then mere rumbling. e The St Panl Press bas discovered another beretic in the person of the Rev. Frederick T. Brown. Mr, Brown insists that he is & good Presbyterian, but thinks Socrates is not in hell. He even dares to quote Scripture to maintain his position. The Preebyterian Church, he says, holds, *that many so-called heathen in all ages nave had a true faith, and have been saved.” What? o Name?

" —_— Jews in Russin. The Cologne Gazetta roports that s German Jew, a merchant, who had for six years resided in St. Petersburg, where ho never had experi- enced any annoyance on sccount of his religion, lately asked for- o new rosidential passport, ro- questing that the pame of Lis newly-married wife might be tbercin added to his own. On calling for tho paper, in compliance with a com- munication from the passport office, Le was there informed that he, as a Jew, had no right to live in Russia, and must leave the Empire within twenty-four bours.

A terriblo fight took place recently botween two women in Chili, under the following circum- stances: One of them, who had lately given birth to an infant, having to make s journey to Rancagua, left it under the care of a neighbor, who had a child about the same age. A few days afterwards the mother who had gone on the journey returned home. and wes told that her child had died in her absence. She insisted that the surviving infant was hers. She said she knew the child to be hers, and was not going to be deceived by the stratagems of Ler neighbor. The other called all the saints in heaven to wit- ness that her child was the living one aud not the desd ome. The dispute fioally ended in blows and the intervontion of the police. The case hos grone to the tribunsal, and snother ques- tion like that decided by King Solomon is now before the Judges of Rancagus. SHIRTS.
