EMOTIONAL INSANITY—A Sad Que — Michael Behan, temporarily residing in New Jersey, in court to day asked that his daugh- ter Mary, who accompanied him, be sent to the asylum for the insane. Dr. Charles Han- non, Who Was also present, explained that Miss Behan was suifering from emotional insanity, produced by over-anxiety and want Of rest while attending a sick sister a year ago. He had had her under his care ever since, and at one time he thought she had entirely recovered, but a relapse of recent date showed him his misiake, and it was his and Dr. Hammond’s opinion that it was bet- ter to send her where she would receive proper medical treatment. He did not con- sider her case a hopeless one, and he thought by proper treatment and care she would finally recover. She was committed to the care of the commissioners of charities and correction. Miss Behan received a first-class education, and is very accomplished, and in one of her flights ef fancy astonished the court with her eloquence.—WN. Y. Herald, 15th ANOTHER VICTIM OF COAL OIL.—It seems ‘as if accidents by coal oil was to become epi- demic. There is another sufferer to the al- ready long list of those who refased to pay any attention to the many warnings of the danger of this article as a kindler of fires, 1n the person of Eliza Costello, fifty years of age, residing at 920 Buttonwood street. Find- ing she had allowed her fire to get low, and wishing to ee her dinner, which she was cooking, she resorted to the oil can as the quickest promoter of her wishes. She began pouring the oil on the fire, when, like @ flash, it caught and in a second the stream of flames had ignited her clothing. She be- | gan to scream for help, and rushed for the door. ‘The dranght had the effect of increas- ing the flames, and she was so badly burned about the face and body that her iife is de- spaired of.—| Phil.

TAMMANY IN THE CAMPAIGN.—The Tam- many organization, it is understood on gool authority, are about to put forth new efforts to regain lost prestige, in view of the ap- peeing Presidential campaign. These include arrangements to start a first-class two-cent morning paper, in the expectation of reaching the masses more readily than at present is possible. The editorship will be confided, not toone man, not toany set of men, but toa committee, who will employ the best talent the psrtycan afford. In this Way, it is expected, variety of thought and freshness of expression can_be obtained bet- ler than by placing the enterprise under the control of one editor. Moreover, it will ad- Yocate Gov. Tilden as a candidate for the Presidency, subject to the decision of the national ‘convention.—[(N. Y¥.

ASTOUNDING DiscovERY.—Tne many late ay ling disasters to steamships, with loss of life, are now attracting much attention. A remedy ts wanted to prevent them. There is a remedy, which should be known Ubroughout the land. Since the commence- ment of steamship navigation on the ocean in nearly every disaster where there was loss of life the vessel had an odd letter in its name, and whenever seven letters were used {he disaster seems to have been most unusu- ally dire and appalling. The fate of the President, the Princeton, and of the two Pa- ceifics (one of the Collins line and the other on Ubis coast) attest this. Now, henceforth, let all Cigeennie 9 builders and owners be cau- tious how they name their vessels be! launching them on the foven, they are wise they will select the number of letters of some steamship that has been worn out in the good cause of navigating the old, mad ocean, and when they have selected a one let them continue it inorder that there may never be any more sickening disasters and 1o%s of life and property to record.— [San Francisco Post.
