Loss OF PERSONAL IDENTITY.-It is a
well-authenticated fact that soldiers,
wounded in the head, on recovery from
the wound, have in some instances lost all
consciousness Of their personal identity.
Tho case Of soldier who has just died
in one Of the Paris hospitals is striking
confirmation Of this fact. Wounded ut the
battle of SOlferino, the wound soon cica-
tried, but he has ever since labored I'M
der strange hallucination, fancying him
self dead. When asked how he was, he
would reply: "You want to know how
Pierre valin is-why, he was killed at
SOlferino. What you see is not Valin,
but n machine made to initiate him. "
Another soldier who was also wounded in
the head at the same time, always spoke
of himself afterwards in the third person,
and in the feminine gender, and would
exclaim: "Oh! how she suffers how
thirsty she is." The eminent physician,
Or. Baudelocque, having suffered an in.
jury to his brain in his old age, became
utterly unconscious Of his own existence,
and whenever asked how his head was,
would reply that he had no head.

The "Devil" is an institution by and Of
himself. lie inks type, or turns the crank,
or "lays on the-shcets. (Othcr people
sometimes do the latter.) Ifit were not
for him the paper would not come out"
lie sweeps out the office. lie builds the
fire-an appropriate work for iiend-
and swcars because some one has hook
ell the kindings." He does the "chorcS
at the house." IIc "quiets the baby"
Yet his most important duty is to keep
watch on the street corner, so as to be
able to inform the editor when the sheriff
is after him.
with all this, the devil shoulders
all the bad or smutty jokes Of the editor
When the mighty man Of the pen is
ashamed Of an expression; and still de-
sircs to utter it, lie says 'our devil says
thus or so, and the poor devil has to
stand it! Nevertheless, the Devil is an
important parsonage in society.
lie attends lectures. lie frequents con-
certS, shows and the opera; butt say it
more in sorrow than in anger-hc seldom
attends church. lie presents himself at

so presses his claims that he is admitted
without the accustomed quarter. But
our friend is not alone. lie is too much
Of gallant for that. His woman is
with him, and he and his woman pass
in and enjoy the entertainment, which,
whatever it may he, is taken down in
doses altcrnatcd with peanuts and tobacco.
For the Devil chews as well as smokes,
and spits profusely upon carpets, when
he gets within reach Of them.

color. The leaning Of the buildings is
worse here, | think, than at Amsterdam.
Standing at one end of street, and look
ing through it to the other end, this
strange, drunken, unsteady appearance Of
the houses is really sight" Of no ordi-
nary character. Generally, they over
hang, or pitch into the street, and very
frequently this tout Of perpendicular"
amounts to . foot and half, and even
more. Occasionally they come down al
together. There IL hardly building in
the city but what leans one way or an.
other. Iwas shown one of the churches,
which after having pitched, by turns, all
ways, had finished by sinking down in
the center. The building looks now very
much as though it had been wrung out"
by washerwOman.
ORIGIN AND PRESENT STATE OF THE CIrY.
Rotterdam, like Amsterdam, was first
settlement Of fishermen. Owing, however,
to the protection afforded them by two
castles built on the banks Of the Macs and
Schie, and to the proximity of the village
to good fishing grounds, it rapidly in.
creased in population, and we find that
towards the close of the thirteenth GEN.
tury, it was granted the privileges of
city, by Count Florence V. Since that
time, although it has suffered much from
war and revolution, it has gradually in
creased in size and wealth, until it has be-
come rich and flourishing city, the most
populous and commercial, after Amster-
dam, Of any in Holland. Its trade with
Java alone employs 200 fine merchant
ships, varying from 300 to 1900 tons
burden. Its foreign commerce is very
great for a city Of its size. It's canals and
quays exhibit degree Of life and activity
and trade truly astonishing, especially
when We consider that there are but q
few more than 100000 people in the city,
and but 2, 500, 900 in the whole kingdom.
There are some rather fine buildings in
the city. such as the Exchange, Stadhuis,
Court House, and Storehouse Of the Royal
Marine; but they cannot be ClasSed as re-
narkable.
THE CHURCH OF ST. LAWRENCE.
There are several churches, the largest
and best Of which land the only one worth
q notice. is the Groote Kerk, formerly
to Catholic worship, and dcdica-
ted to st. Lawrence. 1t is a large gothic
cdifice, finished in 1886, and its interior
is plainly and neatly fitted up for Protes-
tant worship. 1t has many monumental
tombs, erected to the memory of Dutch
notables, and the largest organ in the
world, not excepting the great one at Har-
lem. The largest metal pipe in this in
strumcnt is thirty-six feet long and sew
entcen inches in diameter. 1t is ninety
feet high, has ninety stops, and $500
pipes! 1t is perfect monster, pouring
forth a dcluge Of harmonious sounds.
From the tower Of the church fine view
is obtained Of the city and surrounding
country. r. L. N. &.

from the, house. A few more bounds and
he would be in their midst. For a mo.
ment InOdeSty Overcame fear, and he once
moro halted. The snake evidently pleas.
ed with his rapid transportation, mani.
tested his gratitude by attempting to en-
iold the legs of our hero within his en-.
brace.
With an explosive ouch n' uud urged
forward by circumstances over which he
had no CONTROL" poor John bounded on.
The next moment he was in full view Of
the girls, and as he turned the corner Of
the barn, the snake came round with d
whiz, somewhat after the fashion of O
coach whip.
Having reached the barn.yard, to his
dismay he found the bars up. But time
was too precious to he wasted in letting
down bars. Gathering all his strength he
bounded into the air, snake ditto, and as
he alighted on the other side, his snake.
ships tail cracked across the upper bar,
swapping like an India cracker.
Again John set forward, now utterly
regardless Of the presence Of the girls, for
the extra tick from the snakes tail Ms he
leaped the bars, banished all his bashful-
ness and mOdesty, and again he had the
pleasure Of finding the snake in straight
line, drawing steadily Mt the hem of his
solitary garment.
The house now bccalne the centre Of at
traction, and around it he rrvOlved wllil
the speed Of thought Four times in each
revolution, as he turned the corner, his
snakeship came round with a whiz which
was quite refreshing.
While describing the third circle, as he
came near tho group of wonder-struck
girls, without removing his gaze from the
snake, he managed to cry out
"cALL A MANI"
The next moment he whisked out OF
sight, and quick as thought reappcarcd on
the other side of the house
"CALL A NAN I"
And away he whirled again, turning the
corner 80 rapidly that the whiz of the
snake sounded halfway between q whis-
tie and the repeated pronunciation of dou.
ble-e.
Before either of the girls had stirred
from their tracks, he had performed an
other revolution
"CALL A NAM"
Away he flew again, but his strength
was rapidly failing. Nancy Clark was
the first to recover her presence of mind,
ard seizIng hoop. pole, she took her sta.
ton near the corner Of the house, and us
John re.appeOrcd she brought it upon the
snake with force that broke his back
and his hold upon Johns neither garment
at the same time.
John rushed into the house and to his
room, and at tea time appeared in his best
Sunday suit, but little tho worse for the
