An eminent physician of Edinburgh,
Scotland, Ur.MacIuren, who hasgiven much
attention to tho subject of late years, states
that the types of insanity havo changed
with modern times. A few ycare since,
acute delirious mania was qulto prevalent
while it is now comparatively rare. Asa
result of tho overwork nnd worry of the
.struggle for exlstciico at tho present day,
mental enfeeblement, attended with paraly
sis, a thing almost wholly unknown in tho
past oges, is becoming looro nnd moro com
mon. Dissipation and intemperance is also
cited as ono of the modern uiuscs of mental
.incapacity and insanity to a great degree.
Tho generous spirit manifested by tho
Mexican Government in granting Captain
Eads the right of way for his projtoscd ship
railroad across tho Isthmus nf 'i'chuatitcpcc
is something remarkable. He is to havo tho
right of way, half a inilo in width, with an
additional halt milo of width where stations
are required; also a subsidy equal to 1,000,
000 acres of publlo land, toward tho con
struction ofun harbor on tho Pacific Ocean.
It is stipulated in the agreement that tho
work must bo begun within two years fiom
the date of tho grant and completed within
twelvo years uller begun. Tho length of
the route at Tehaunfepeo will be 112 miles,
thus makiug travel fur vessels from New
York city to San Francisco, 1500 miles
Bhortor than by tho proposed line at Pana
ma. The estimated cost of tho line is $75,
000,000. Tho Cleveland Rolling Mill Company,
the Uuiou Steel Screw Company, and more
than forty other companies, firms and Indi
viduals interested in the iron trade, have
signed a memorial to bo pent to General
Garfield, in reference to the recent decisions
of the Treasury Department regarding hoop
iron, and protesting against "tho decis
ion now pending" on tauk or plate iron.
Tho memorial concludes by declaring Sec
retary Sherman's dscislons "fatal to a large
class of American manufactures," and re
questing General Garfield, in appointing a
Secretary of the Treasury for his adminis
tration, to select n man who possesses the
ability and Inclination to carry out tho doc
trines of protection to Amciican manufac
tures, and who will not overrulo in his de
cisions the spirit aud purposo of tho tariff
laws when evasions of duty are attouiptoJ
by ingenious contrivances."

WASHINGTON.
OCR SriCMf, I.KTTKK.
Washington-, D. C, Feb. 5, 1881.
The feature cf tho ceremonies attending
the inauguration of Gen, Garfield will bej
the grand ball nt tho National Museum
building on the night of tho 4th of March,
and fur that event a large amount of money
is to bo expended. The intention is to de
corate tho building upon a novel and orig
inal design, and ono attraction in this re
spect will be a colossal statue of America,
thirty feet high, with sixteen of the largest
sized figures, emblematic of peace, var,coin
mcrce, science, navigation, agriculture, min
ing, horticulture, fruit-growing, Ac. Elec
tric lights will bo extensively used, and es
pecial attention will be paid to the erection
of approaches to tho building, which will
bo constructed for all the vicissitudes of the
weather. Tho music will, of course, be fur
nished mainly by the Marino Band, but a
proposition is being entertained to Invito
tho most prominent of the visiting bands to
assist, thus providing a Competitive concert.
It is expected that thero will be a crush at
the ball, and though it is estimated that the
building will accommodalo over 12,000 per
sons, tho tickets will be limited to a much
less number.
Everybody In Washington looks to Gar
field's inauguration with delight, as being
moro gorgeous and jovial than Hayes's. At
Hayes's last reception there was but one
woman with bare arms and back, and ifsho
had been as naked as an egg slio could not
have looked queerer. There was a time
when tho glowing shoulders moving down
the East Room mado it look like the pum
micctl deck of n ship, nnd men were given
away in marriage, by regiments, bceauso tn
look wos to be lost. Now they go buttoned
to tho throat, and even pull the hair down
over their foreheads, lost they might exceed
tho bounds of modesty. Nevertheless, tho
population increases, as by a sort of divine
arithmetic, and there aropenplo bold enough
to say that if Mrs. Hayes did not button her
Puritan gown so close up on her milk-white
throat she would be perfectly magnificent.
Wo aro pining for undress receptions.
With every year the social attractions of
the city increases. In spite of tho fact that
new houses have been built by the hundred
since last fall, tho demand is greatly in ex
cess of tho supply, especially for furnished
houses for the season, which means lor the
session. Sumo of the new houses and blocks
of houses in the northwest section, which is
the fashionablo quarter, are quite elegant ill
architectural effect ami ore supplied with nil
tho comforts and conveniences for modern
linusekceping, a feature which is wanting,
or is clumsily supplied, in tho older houses.
To keep liouso and to entertain hospitably
is coming to bo considered tho duty of u
Senator or Representative who Is known to
bo in a psition to do so. What makes
Washington so crowded in tho season is not
tne number of persons who aro making the
capital a winter resort. A wealthy man,
whose purp'so Is to enjoy life, can hardly
do better now than to establish his winter
quarters In Washington.
Another retired statesman Isgolng to write
a book in his seclusion. Secretary Scliurz,
after March 4th, will divide his energies bo
tween his newspaper and the preparation til
a work for tho Applclons. Tho Republican
agitation in Germany which exiled Mr.
Sehurz, the. war ill which b played a part,
until as a soldier ami a civilian, his i-oiiatnr
l il career, and lastly, his four years' service
as a Cabinet Minister, furnish varied nnd
interesting materials for a remarkable auto
biography.
Wonl reaches hero from Ohio that the
friends of ex-Attorney General Taft will
make a pressure for his appointment to the
bench in the event of either the rejection or
withdrawal of Mr. Matthews' name. This
gossip rather startles the democrats whoop
wso Mr. Matthews, for between Mr. Mat
thews ami Judge Tuft, tho former is to them
pre-eminently preferable. Afni'ST.

Nkw Yoiik, Jan. 31, 1881.
The world of art is just now in full swing,
and dealers, artists, buyers and connoisseurs
have ample opjioitunities of busying.tliCm
sclves in a congenial way. On Saturday
evening last, tho private views and "stag
party" of Tho Artists' Fund Society, wos
held iu the main gallery or tho National
Academy of Design. This Society is, as is
generally known, a species of life insurance
guild, the pictures contributed each year by
tho mcmbcis being sold at auction and tho
premium or yearly sum due from each go
ing into the common fund. Anything over
this brought by any picture is returned to
the artist. The contributions this year aro
fully up to tho nvcrogo in quality although
some of tho best known artists, e. g. Messrs.
Huntingdon, J. G. Brown and Wyut are
conspicuously absent, aud, seen through tho
wreaths ot cigar smoko aud under the be
n Ign influeuco of oyster salad and punch,
the pictures looked uncommonly well.
Among the guests present in addition to ar
tists and pressmen there were noticeable the
Rev. Dr. Robert Collyer, Edmund Clarcuco
Stedman,the poet banker, Laurance Nutton,
O. B, Bruce, of Appleton't, Alvuu S. South
worth, tho African traveller, II. C, Bunncr,
ot ruck and other celebrities. Mr. Thomas
Hicks, N. A., President of tho Society web
coined the guests and Mr. McCord, the Sec
retary, dispensed cigars to ull who wished to
blow a cloud. Iu tbo domain of landscape
proper" the chief and most excellent works
iu this exhibition aro those of Messrs. Ed
ward GrayJIomcr, Martin, Ernest Tacton,
Minor, bwuin, Gillord, Arthur Pacton and
Macy. Mr. Gray's largo picture of wiudiug
stream and sloping meadow land, is full of
crispnessnud urcam; Arthur i acton s"L.ve-
uing" with its well-drawn tree lulm aud
excellent shoep, is tho best picture ho bus
give-i us for some timo and conveys a sense
ol lest and quiet, ami .ur. -Martin s wood
inteiior. where the waim light comes mel
low through the foliage and broods over the
still water, is very sweet and jmetie. Among
the figure painters Mr. Hicks is represented
by a capital work a boy and girl in a cot
tago kitchen inspecting n bird cage and its
occupant. Mr. S. I. Guy sends "Sweet
Whispering" a charming aud highly liulsh
ed picture, depicting a mother lutening to a
chubby, naked baby who stands ou her knee,
Mr. Abbot Thayer contributes the head of a
lady, very well painted anil excellent In
quality, aud Mr. Dauglus Yolk a sleeping
gin in me arms oi a uegress, the only part
of whom visible is her sble hands clasped
in front. Arthur Quautly, as usual, has it
an his own way among tne marines: "at.
Marblehead, Mass," and "Raritan Bay,"
wiiu lis usuing uoais are lull ol breeze und
sea-motion, the clouds uud waves being iu
stlnct with movement ami rcllectiuc, Mr.
Julian Scott, the well-known delineator ol
war scene3,is repiestnted by a scene entitled,
-1 wisn i couiu lane a Iiaud, Iu which an
officer is ovtrlookini: tome of Ids men idav
ing cards, anil also by a snow scene with a
sentinel on duty. Wordwerth Thompson
portrays a riyer boat drawu by two horses,
and a rilligcnco full id passengers drawn up
o l attice deflate of a Mediterranean town.
Both are bright and oriel Iu quality. Other
good und typical contributions come from
Oliver I. Lay, Dielham, J. F. Cropsey and
several other well-known members.

him such a high place in oontemporarv urt.
There ure more than three hundred ol his
works in tho preseut collection, embracing
j landseaiies, interiors, figures, animals and
imlewl running the entire gamut, so to
speak, of pictorial art. Several nf the most
important cauvjssea aro lent bv their owners
Messrs. J. O. Bennett, Dr. Keep, J. V.
Stearns, Judge McCue and others. " Fune
ral Rites of a Mummy" is a must impressive
ami line composition, the barge containing
the casket, tbo professional mourners, the
musicians and the earsuion fonning a bar
monlous, concentrated and picturesque
whole. A Circus Scene, in which a man
standing on two horses sui)iKirts a girl on
his knee. Is also excellent; and "A Royal
Fastinm In Nineveh," a circus arena where
archers and speermen face lions, is replete
with vigor and Interest; tho body ot tho
cicau nun, ami me niiiiicni bearing ol mo
ono just let loose and facing his toes aro
finely poilraycd. " Prayer In the Mosque"
and " Nubian Fortune-tellers" are likewise
noteworthy, but were one to specify tho in
verse and multitudinous taints of interest
in thlsCatholic collection hu could fill reams.
It may be mentioned, however, that many
ol the heads Nubian, Jewish, Arabian and
Assyrian are tun ol individuality and rucc
chatactcristic, while in texture aud quality
they attest Mr. Bridgmnn's title to the high
place ho occupies. Some few of these pic
tures are for sale, and buyers should seize
iuo opportunity, pro air. iiriugman loius up
his tent, llko the Arabs, and cllentlv steals

In the dealers' galleries new and valuablo
importations are not wantinc. At Scholia's

importaul work try llio world-famous Curl

to Dcsdamoua and her father, lie stands

characteristic and lulicilous accessions in this
gallery are fiom Palmacoli, Jucquet and
other foreign artists of nolo.
Iu Gotipil's thcio is a new laid good ex

entitled ' Ribera Piiintlng in Rome." The
cowled monks am coming out of tho church
and descending Me steps where the lazzarom
loiter, and ou one side tho artist, also on the
stouo steps, puisnes his art under dillicul
ties. Ttio limo-worn steps and walls aro
finely rendered; the tone is low but deep
and harmonious, und the figures are strik

by n girl reclining on a hilPsiopo.uud read
ing a letter; a "Funtasia'Arabo" depicting
horsemen in lull career and mock combat
proves how much greater Fortuny would
nave ueeomc nail ue liven; while charm
ing examples of Rico and Tofauo fill up tho
Interstices. Thero is certainly no lack of
art treasures in jnow lorn at picsent.
In literary circles there is nothing parti
cularly new at picsent. Tho first issue of a
new weekly, however, appeared last batur
tlay. It is called TVic Studio and Musical
Review, and is under the editorial dnection
of Mr. Alvan S.' riouthworth, well-known

contributes a philosophical, tcmpciato and

long been needed, and Mr. Snulbworlli is

Mr. IJciilIry nnil the Pension Lsws.
From the Washington, D. C, Free JPreiu.
During tho past four years tho Commis
sioner of Pensions has devoted a very large
proportion of his time lo the utterance of
complaints against the pension laws now in
force, and lo a series of vigorous eflbrts to
secure u radical ahungo in tho entire system
of adjudicating pension claims. That tho
abundant zcnl of the Commissioner has not
been prompted altogether by a desire to pro
tect the Treasury, may ba fairly inferred
from the fact that when he had beforo him
data showing that the arrearages of pensions
act would cost $150,000,000, he kept silent
In relation thereto, nnd permitted Congress
to pass that measure on the supposition that
it would cost but -20,000)000. Hero wasan
opportunity to havo enlightened Congress to
some purposo, but tho power and patrotiagi
of the Commissioner would 'nut have been
increased by the defeat of that bill.
As another indication cf this officer's In
sincerity, it is wcrtli noting that, while ho
is always complaining of a lack of sufficient
clerical force to keep claims Irom accumula
ting in this office, ho was able, during tho
mouth of October, 1SS0, when many of the
clerks wcie absent on political business and
when many ol thoso remaining hero wero
similarly employed, to disposo of 4,000
claims, besides mailing a vast number of
campaign documents. This rate, continued
throughout tho year, will keep tho docket
in good order by disposing nf claims as rap
idly as the proofs are completed.
It is tho belief of those who have given
much timo and thought to the investigation
of this subject, that tho faults of the present
system aro not iu the law, but In ils admin
istration. For four years Commissioner
Beutley has bent all his energies to the
work ef making this system appear us bad
as possible. Instead cf using its advantages
for the successful prosecution of tho work of
his office, ho has confined his labors mainly
to the detection of imperfections and an ef
fort to magnify them. The change he pro-
peses will not, in our opiuion, bo productive
of any good, if it should unhappily be tried,
but it certainly will increase the power, the
patronage and Influence of the Commission
cr. It wid make him, practically, dictator
in the whole business of pension claims.
Let us look into tho details of Mr. Bent'
ley's bill, as amended. It provides that a
lawyer aud a doctor shall bo appointed as a
pensions court iu each Congressional dis
trict. But the Commissioner can reduce
this number as often and asmuchas ha may
deem expedient. This lawyerand this doc
tor aro to take testimony, of course, as that
is the alleged object of their appointment
but if they fail to get testimony losuit the
Commissioner in quantity or quality, the
bill provides that the commission may sup
ply the deficiency "in such other manner as
the Commissioner of pensions shall direct,
The medical members of these boards are to
make examinations of such invalids only as
thoy "may bo required by the Commissioner
of pensions to examine." The lawyerand
doctor are to go to see such witnesses as are
unable to go to them, provided the Com
rolssioncr shall order them to do so. As to
tho testimony which Is to be tsken by these
lawyers and doctors, there is no promise that
it shall be taken under the rules of law, but
"under instructions aud regulations to be
prescribed by the Coinmisaionerof pensions.''
The bill requires tho lawyer and doctor to
"visit each county seat iu their respective
districts as often as three times iu each year,
unless otberwiso directed by the Commis
sioner of lwnslous." They aro to visit
"such other places In their respective dis
tricts from time to timo as they shall be di
rected by the Commissioner of pensions to
visit. And they ure tn investigate fraudu
lent causes on tho roll whenever the Com
inissioner so directs.
Absurd as all this Kerns we hove quoted lit
erally Irom the bill from the bill as amend
ed ami approved by men who cull them
selves statesmen and lawyers! There is
nothing of iiniwrtahce in the bill that is not
left entiiely at the discretion of the Com-
i missiouer. It puts the whole matter of ad
judicating claims into the hands of one man.
It is proimsed to do this thing at a coal of
$1,500,000. The object is to get evidence
to get evidence that shall not bo ex parte.
But there is no provision in the bill fortwm
pelllog the attendance of witnesses. In fact,
It does not hold out so much u the shadow
of probability that it will do so wtU u the
present system In the matter of collecting
honest uubaiscd testimony.
Mr. Bcntlcy accuses soldiers and their
friends of wholesale frauds. That there are
frauds in tills and nil other departments is
probably true. It Is true, also, that his bill
would do nothing to prevent them. But
there is no good reason lo suppose that tho
frauds aro one-tenth of what ho alleges.
They seem to grow according as his desire
to gel his bill through becomes more anient
ond llio donger of ils failure increases. For
instance, In 1870 Mr. Bentley estimated the
actual loss by fraud, if we remember correct
ly, at about $500,000. In 1878, in his letter
to the Secretary, it rose to $2,000,000. In
1880, It was stated, on his authority, at $1,-
000,000, nnd now it has been claimed, on
the same authority, on the floor of the Sen
ate, fit $5,000,000.
This is wild exaggeration, and Mr. Bent-
ley must know it. Congress gives this offic
er forty-one special agents to detect frauds.
They go at his bidding, and the public purse
pays their bills. But how many rascals
does the offieo convict? Wc quote from Ills
report for 1878, tho following convictions!
"Two for presenting false ond fraudulent
claims i nine for filing fa so and fraudulent
affidavits." Eleven convictions, all told I
Tho laws as they stand aro sufficient to
afibrd oil needful protection. Mr. Bentley
has the means at Ills disposal to nn his ol
fice efficiently, and protect the Treasury.
Tho bill that ho proposes is not in the inter
est of honesty or decency. IU passage would
clothe Mr. Bentley, or his successor, with
jHiwcis such as havo never been put in the
hands ofany officer siuca tho formation of
our Government.
