And first as to cigars. Almost every male lover and consumer of the weed has his own peculiar taste in the quality of his cigars, and usually his own peculiar mode of smoking them. Men of taste and refinement in other matters are generally fastidious in the selection of their cigars, and not pleased with any quality short of the tinest imported Havanas. Yet this rule does not invariably hold, for the writer knew, From the Oil City Derrick, December 12. at a dinner party, an instance where a gentle- The morning after was restored to health man, a Senator of the United States, slarze number of people who had seen her at liver and connoisseur of wines, disdainfully the church the nicht before, came to the parson- | aside a superb imported Reina Victoria and pro- to inquire as to her condition. duced from his own case a domestic cigar of the Tule supposed it to be the last spas- most violent flavor, which he proceeded to smoke ffort before life departed, and thought | to his own satisfaction; but to the great disgust ‘tion would come before morning and | of the other guests.

This slope Was covered with four feet of soft snow, and it extended down for two thousand feet before there was a resting piace. Inthe fierce ficht between the two miners they were carried down the dizzy slope and with their hands upon each other's throats, they went whirling down the mountain like a pair of boulders.

This is quite aa erroneous fdea, so far at least asthe factory of La Hontadez is concerned, as the greatest pains are taken in the selection and assortment of the tobacco which they use. They appear themselves to be modestly conscious of their merits if we judge by some of the mottoes on their wrappers, such as, in Spanish, ‘‘Mishechos. mi justiticaran,” or “My worth shall justify me,” and ‘Todos mi eliogian,” “All shall praise me,” with various other complimentary suggestions as to the fine qualities of thelr wares. There is, of course, great difference of opinion among cigarette smokers, but it seems to be conceded by con- noisseurs that the first_quality of the Russian cigarette made at St. Petersburg or Moscow is the best in the word. It is extremely dificult to procure it even for money, which is supposed to get _ every thing, because of the almost impossibility of getting at the highest quality of Latakia to- 0 of which it is made. This quality is very scarce and is rarely sold, any of it leaving the country being generally in the shape of presents made'by the Emir to the Emperor or to some of the higher Russian no- bility or diplomats. Madame Catacazy, the beautiful wife of the Russian Minister at Wash- ington, some years ago was a great smoker, and was possessed of a large quantity of these famous cigarettes, of which she was extremely ral to her friends. The writer had the Pleasure of meeting her very often at dinner at Washington, when she always smoked a cigar- ette between each course, and esteemed herself very fortunate in the gift of a box of these cigar- ettes from her, which a friend subsequently en- deavored to duplicate by a telegraphic order to the manufacturer at St. Petersburg, but in vain. There does not appear at first sight to be any immediate relation between literature and to- bacco: and yet some of the most famous authors, wton down, have been great consumers of the weed. The late Sir Lytton Bulwer, afterward Lord Lytton, was at one time, and while he was writ- ing his famous novels, almost a slave to the habit of smoking. His weakness at that time was a Turkish chibouk, and it was told of him— probably by Lady Bulwer—after their quar- rel and separation—that on their mar- riage night, and after they had retired to the nuptiai chamber, Sir Edward rang for his chi- | uk, when she sarcastically observed that ‘this was the first time she had ever heard of the torch of Hymen being used to light a pip which remark, it is supposed, she intended he should “put in his pipe and smoke it. hold on the affec- 4 Religious Insanity. From the N. ¥. Tribune. Whether Guiteau’s vagaries are real or simu- lated is one question; whether, if real, they call for sending him to the asylum instead of the gallows, is another. There isa strange uncer- tainty of opinion on the latter point; whether the law of the land can safely excuse a self-sup- posed Abraham from punishinent for killing his Isaac—which, by the way. the real Abraham in the account did not do. The original Abraham heard a cautionary voice just in time, and killed a ram instead of his son. Hence the inquiry recurs, shall not whoever sets up the example | of Abraham in support of an imaginary inspira- ion toward homicide be required to show that he followed the scripture narrative consistently throughout, changed the course of his weapon, allowed his first selected. human victim to go unhurt, and slaughtered some unfortunate brute instead?

The whole subject of religious insanity has had little instruct authoritative discussion. We recall but two works professing to make Bingham’s Observations on the Religiot ions of Insane Person don, 1841, and yne’s Essays on P; rangement in Supposed Connection with Reli- Dublin, 1843. Both were written in the infancy of modern knowledge of mental disease.

There was no doubt of his in- sanity; he had been already twice confined in an asylum. But it was shown that after afternoon service he remained in the church and, as soon as alone, went up into the belfry, where he cut off some eighty feet of the prayel bell rope, in which he tied knots, forming a sort of ladder by which he climbed over the iron gates of the choir. Having thus gained access to the choir he struck a light with a flint and his razor. lighted a candle which he had brought, and thus set fire to paper obtained by tearing up prayer-books, and which he piled close to the carved work at the archbishop’s throne. He then made his escape by equally ingenious and methodical efforts. A young Irishman dug out his eye and cut off his hand, imagining he was obeying the command: If thy right eye offend thee, etc, In France, years ago, a whole family, Dutartres by name, fancied that they alone ' possessed Knowledge of the true God, and under imaginary inspiration perpe- trated murders and other crimes. A French vine-dresser thought himself commissioned to rocure the eternal salvation of his family by illing them, and did kill two of his children. or this he was put in perpetual confinement as a lunatic; where, vears afterward, he conceived the project of offerin: pursuance of which two fellow-lunatics and wounded bh keeper. A commissioner was once sent to the Bicetre to set at liberty patients whom he should judge to have recovered from their lunacy, and he selected one whose answers te ous questions we no indication of madness. He made a written order for the man’s release; but on submitting this, in due course, to the patient for his signature. the lat— ter betrayed his delusion by subscribing his name “Christ.” Benvenuto Cellini, while in rison, was impressed by hallucinations of the mlily appearance of Jesus, of which he gave a long, graphic description. Lovat, in Venice, in imitation of the crucifixion, contrived to nail himself to a cross, and then to sling it out at the window of his lodging-room in full view of the horrified church-goers. American examples are not so numerous, but the case of the father in Massachusetts a year ortwo ago, who slaugh- tered his daughter in imitation of the sacrifice of Isaac, will be well remem! L si Medical opinions differ from legal as to whether delusions like these should subject from criminal punishment. ‘The view taken by Anglo-American jurists is that it is not safe or practicable to accept the delusion as an excuse, unless it shows the man tu have been incapable from the disease of comprehend- ing that his act was punishable: or, at least. that it was morally wrong, In other words, if Guiteau’s brain was so affected that he could not, by any effort he was able to make, have re- alized that his shooting Garfield was *“ crimina”- or, a8 some say “‘wrong”—he is exempt; other- wise not: and his delusion, if one existed, must have been according to legal opinion such that, if it were true, his act would have been unpun- ishable. The general opinion of medical writers is to the effect that this standard Is too strict. It assumes, they say, that men under insane de- jusions always reason correctly from their falze premises; where in truth whatever brain disor- der begets a notion of a divine command often confuses the power of drawing conclusions re_ specting one’s actions under it. Medical writers on insanity generally contend for a more liberal allowance of the defence of insanity than the law courts are at present willing to admit.
