MANIA kP0TU-

? The Cincinnati Times of last even
ing gives the following account of an
incident at the Ninth street watch house
in that city.
A day or two ago, a poor miserable
fellow who follows the river for a living
was arrested for stealing some trifing
article. He was drunk when be com
mitted the theft. He was committed to
Jail to await his trial to-day. Last night
he was seized with mania-a-potu, and in
this condition was conveyed to the watch
house this morning. At intervals he
appeared perfectly rational, and at 9th
ers be would rave in the most hideous
ann His rawlings created startling
sensations, even in that place used to
such scenes.
When we first saw him be was sit
ting quietly in his cell. Suddenly no
arose and gave an inhuman howl.
'Great God!,. he then screamed, the
devil will get me; the devils are waiting
for mel OF this is terrible-it's- hell,
it's hell, it's hellr
He them sat-dowh and coveredh is-face
with his hands. Remaining so a min
ute, he again spoke calmly at first:
Gentlemen, I've been a bad man, but
my only criNe was drinking whiskey.
OF amt this terrible. My stomach is
all burnt out. I cant live, gentlemen.
o! Godl I've got to die. Die! diel die!'
And then be raved ~fearfully again.
Suddenly he turned to the station keeper
and thus piteously plead:
Take me to the Hospital. Obi for
Gods sake, take me to the Hospital
They'll give me medicine there-maybe
they'll cure me. Gentlemen, this is
the worst case of mania a potw you
ever saw. Tell the doctors at the Hos
pital SO, and let them try and cure me.
Let every man say, this is the worst
case that ever happened, and if I cure
this man, I'll do a great thing. Oh,
hell I'm eat up with whiskey. My
stomach is all on fire! Oil oh! Oh,
God, save mel
And then his rawlings became terrible.
3 Once he attempted to dance, but his
action became demoniac. Large doses
of a mixture for such cases were given
him, and he finally became somewhat
quieted. It was a terrible exhibition
Of that awful disease, the mania a .potu.

A Canal THROUGH THE Rocky Noun
TAINs During the recent debate in the
British House of Commons on the SUBJ
iect of the renewal of the hudson Bay
Gonpapy's privileges, Lord Bury Al
irmed that a communication might easts
ly be esta blished between Lake Superior
and the Pacific Ocean, by the means of
ship canal connecting the Saskatchewan
and Columbia rivers. Both rivers take
their rise in the Rocky Mountains, the
Columbia flowing west to the Pacific,
and the Saskatchewan running east to
Lake Winnipeg, a little to the north
west of Lake Superior. With the ex-
ception of a single rapid (which might
be avoided-bya capal,) his lordship sta
ted that the navigation of the Saskatch-
evan offers no difficulty. With that one
exception, a vessel of considerable size
can be taken up to the foot of the
Rocky Mountains, and at this point
there is a gap in the mountain which in
terposes no great obstacle to the juno
ton of the Columbia and Saskatchewan,
whose sources are but a little distance a
part. Thus a direct water communica-
ton would be established with the Pa
ciGc.
