MEMPHIS, TE1W.: MONDAY EVENING.
Modern Ioannlty.
New York G: aphio,
The letter of our Boston corre
spondent calU attention to a form
of insanity ' bo marked aa to reetiive i
a special designation &i the New
Jiingland type. It is characterized
by mteiiaity. II is recognized ly
it3 acute nervous excitement ami
tendency to self-destruction. Tlier
is more brain activity in it thau in
ordinary forms of darangerncut.
Some of the French repoi ts show
a growing tendency in t,!io same
direction in that country, aud per
haps it is one of the results of mo
dern life, which is so largely mental
and sympathetic in its character
istics. An lnieneciuat peopie, uvuig
at a period of remarkable intellec
tual activity and excitement, taking
recreafion of an intellectual form
from the theater and novel and ly-
ceum, will naturally breakdown at
the point where the greatest strain
comes. And the point to be spe
cially guarded against in our sys
tems of education and lifo habit3 ia
the too violent or continuous teii
tiions of tho intellect, either in
study, business, politics or social
excitements. The muscular side
of lifo, the sentimental side of hu
man nature, should have an
ampler provision and receive
more attention than wo nave
made for them. The brain
must bo balanced bv biceps, and
tho exercise of the heart is more
mportant for health and happiness
than the undue exercise of tho in
tellect in any direction. Statistics
show that insanity is rapidly in
creasing in modern life, and p?r-
haps the specific form it ia taking
in Massachusetts indicates the prin
cipal cause of ita increase. It is
sad to think that a small btato like
Massachusetts has 4000 insane people-
in it. At the modern English
rate of valuation these insane peo
ple represent a total of $7,500,000;
and when the building now in pro
cess of erection for their treatment
are completed thev will represent a
cost of . $u,500,000. But such
mathematical calculations of cost
and care provoke rather than satisfy.
We scorn all financial estimates ot
the value of man or woman. Who
can tell the worth of a father to a
family dependent on his support
and oversight? What figures can
represent the value of a mother to
her little ones, or a devoted wile to
her husband, or a beautiful and
brilliant daughter just unfolding
into womanhood? Tha preventives
of insanity in modern life do
not begin to recieive the at
tention thev deserve. Every few
months the community is startled by
some fresh statement of inhuman
ity to the patients of insane nsy
lnms. In some instances these
complaints are well founded, and
each new outiwre on this class of
helpless dependents elicits an out
burst of public indignation. But
what is far better for society at large
than any rhetorical indignation or
sentimental sympathy is the in
creasing attention the ablest physi
cians in this country and Europe
are giving to every form of mental
derangement, and tho light they
are throwing on tho proper treat
ment of all diseases of tho mind.
It is a cheering fact that about all
that has been done to alleviate the
condition of this unfortunato class
of sufferers, and eventually restore
them to themselves again, has been
accomplished . within the recollec
tion of living physicans. What has
been done for tbe insane within
fifty years, when they wei cscd
as wild beasts and chained in cut
lioiisps and immured in dungeons,
encourages the hope that it will
evcututtlly be ranked as one of the
generally curablo disorders of the
human system. But to reduce tho
insanity in modern society to the
lowest possible point is a far more
diUlcult YCt far moro important
undertaking.
A. Had Sell.
A young Frenchman, who was
much importuned by creditors,
locked himself in his rooms and re
fused to open to any but hi3 inti
mate friends, who were given a pe
culiar signal. The other morning
ho kept perfectly quiet, when his
tailor knocked and called out to
him. " I know you are within, M.
X . Von are wrong in not let
ting me in, I will not stir until
you open the door." X r smiled
and preserved a dignified silence.
Noon came, and although hungry,
he did not daro to open tho door,

the Rhine, and a preat trial of skill
took place at the I'aria Exhib ition
of 18G7. The jury was composed
equally of .trench and uermiin ex
perts w;ti, a Kiienish president,
and two bottles of the choicest
Rhine wine were pitted against two
bottles of Chateau Vigneau of 18C1.
A unanimous verdict gave the prize
to Chateau Vigneau of Bordeaux,
and it was afterward ascertained
that the Rhine wine was taken
from a single barrel made from
grapes chosen individually from a
whole growth. The French have
never forgotten this victory, and
although tho Germans claim fur
their johannisberg a bouquet that
is indescribale, the French main
tain that for wealth and delicacy
of flavor no wine in the world can
touch Chateau Yqucm or Chateau
V igncau.
Itivr Vcirdl Coruposeu.
Verdi thus describes the fushion
in which he composes: "I first
study thoroughly the characters of
the dramatic persona). Iheu 1
commit the libretto to memory,
and, girding myself for the task,
work away for eight or nine months,
and more if necessary, until the
opera is completed. Meanwhile I
only livo in my imagination ; hence
my irritability, ill-humor, and in
civility ; for though I am a bear by
nature, at such times I become more
of a bear than ever. Verdi rarely
attends the theater, especially the
opera. It is said that lie never
witnessed the representation of his
'Hallo in Maschera' until ten years
after its first appearance upon the
stage. A man of culture, he is a
connoisseur in art, is thoroughly
versed in Italian, rrench and
Spanish literature, and is familiar
with the best German and English
authors. He has frequent recourse
to the original source of his inspi
ration, the bible. Though he styles
himself a 'bear,' and often alludes
with a spice of pleasantry to his
poas;iut birth, lie is courteous
though simple in his manners, easv
and fluent in his conversation, and
personally a urt'at favorite anions:
his more intimate friends. A Sen
ator of the Kingdom, he betrays
no ambition to shine as a parlia
mentary leader." 'lhus writes a
contributor to Harper.
I'alionous Btlile.-i.
The sands of the steppes of Cen
tral Asia are the abiding-place of
many species of loathsome and
poisonous "creeping tilings." Mr.
Schuyler speaks of a phalange (Sol
puga araneoides), one of the long
legged spiders known popularly 113
the Harvestman, or the Gtaud-father-Gray-beard,
which has long
hair, "and, when walking, seems ns
large as one's two fists." ' This
formidable beast is given to biting
when irritated, and with its jaws
makes four little holes in tho flesh.
The bite is poisonous, though not
deadly. Its victim feels at first no
more" discomfort than from the
sting of a gnat, but, after a time,
tho pain spreads ovr the whole
body, and is accompanied with
fever and great exhaustion. A
Chinese officer states, in his travels
in Turkistau, that the body of the
largest Solpugas is the siz of a but
ternat; and that of tho smaller
ones, of a walnut. Spiders of such
dimensions, with their big, hairy
bodies lifted up on long, stout legs,
must be as frightful an adversary aj
one would be likely to encounter in
any experience amid the haunts of
wild
Id animals.
A Keve- Irish Tort.
The Boston Pilot exults over tho
new Irish poem "Deirdre," and fur
nishes some interesting facts in re
gard to its author. His full name
is llobert Dwyer Joyce, He was
born in Limerick in September,
1830 ; is a graduate at Dublin uni
versity, and also a member of the
Royal Irish Academy. Ho belongs
to a family of mark. His brother
U an JyL. D. of Trinity College,
Dublin; tha author of. "Irish
Karnes of Tlaces," and was' the
chief organizer of the present Irish
national system of education. Dr.
Joyco came to thi3 country ten
years ag6, ant has been long settle4
its a physician in Bostou, with a
largo practice. He was not nn
known as a poet before the " N.o
Name Series" gave him the oppor
tunity of fame. Ko collection of
Irish poetry made during tho last
twenty yean ha3 been without some
poeni3 from his pen. He is now
tho literary lion of Boston, and
every Irishman who eati read feels
thaiikful for if.

is extremely aristocratic, and but
recently announced that it was

suicidal to give householders the
right to vote. As a political writer
he is very trenchant. His stylo is
forcible and lucid, and he has lew
