Sister Emma Durham, upon whom Queen Victoria conferred the decoration of the Royal Red Cross, has done good service in the nursing world. She joined the St. John's House Nursing Sisterhood in September, 1872, and was trained at King's College Hospital. At the end of her three years' engagement she went to the Universities' Mission, Zanzibar, East Central Africa, to work amongst the released slaves under Bishop Steere. In 1877 she returned to England and continued nurjing until 1879, when she was sent out by the Stafford House South African Aid Committee as superintendent, working at Ladysmith for the Zulu war and at Newcastle for Sikikuni campaign.

She returned to England in 1880, and did nursing in France, Ger.nany, Italy, Sicily, Relgium and Switzerland till 1885, when became a volunteer for H. R. H. the Kmc of Wales' branch of the National Aid Society, working at Suez, and a1, in charge of the National Aid Steamer Alexandria, bringing down English and Egyptian sick and wounded from Assouan to Cairo.

Insanity Among Senators. fhe statement that Senator Jones of Florida has gone insane creates no surprise at Washington. The danger was whis. pored by his follow statesmen here long ago, and one of his brother senators told me as much during the session which closed last March. Jones was an extraordinary character.

Self-made, he had ac quired a remarkable knowledge of law, and starting life as a carpenter, he proved himself to be one of the best constitutional! liiwyers of tho senate. He was an Irishman by '-th, and when ho first went to Florida he orked at his trade by day and studied law by night, tie began prac- ticmsr just -about the time llnrlniiinn en. teied the white nouse. He was a good sneaker and he soon irota lurm? nnu-tiiw. He served two terms in the United States senate, and had he not gone crazy he might still liold his position.

He stood well in the senate chamber, and he was one of those senators who keep one eye up- uu tue giuienes. iiiixea witn nis eye lor law was the lovo for the beautiful in women. It was this love that ruined hiin. Ho is a tall, tine-lookinor man. with blue eye which sparkles when he crnwi excited.

During his latter days in congress he evidently considered himself a good match for any woman, and he said that few, women would refuse such a chance as that of having United States senator in marriage. Tho social position such, He thought, that anv woman would be a fool to reject it. anil he was probably surprised when hn found that the rich Miss Palms did not think the same way. Senator Jones is the second case ef insanity among statesmen within a very short time. Ex-Senator Nesmith, of Oregon, died recently in an insaue asylum, and Nesmith was a greater man than Jones.

He was one of the hiir men of congress during the war, and was after ward appointed minister to Austria, but was not coniirined. He was a great favorite of President Lincoln, and he nartonk somewhat of Lincoln in his manners. He was the author of a story winch has been oft quoted by other men. It was in re lation to tne character of congress and congressmen. He said: "When I first came to Washington and tooK my Boat in the senatei chamber I looked around on that magnificent body of men and wondered how I pot there.

And," he continued, rter 1 had been there about three we. I again looked around on that bodv of men and wondered how in the world the other fellows got there." Nesmith died of softening of the hrnin Ha drunk considerable during the latter part of his days in Oregon, and when he had a little old bourbon in him ho did not re for appearances. He was playing cards one night when the caucus of his party had arranged to make hiin their candidate tho United Statos senate. A delegation waa Bont to find him. They wanted him to come to the caucus.

He replied that he CJuld not leave his gamo. They could mane him senator if they wanted to, and if thev didn't they could go to the devil. The result was that the delegation off angry and another man was boseu. Perhaps the queerest case of insane itivtesmen was that of John Roanoke, lie was nlwavs doiuo. curton.
