THE DIAMOND CLUB.-On Friday
evening the Diamond Club had a
fancy dress party, at the residence of
Henry Morgan, Esq, at which. in
spite of the warm weather, every one
enjoyed themselves to the utmost.
Don Juan danced with Fanchon, Co.
lumbia, with a courtier, highland
lassie, with a Spanish cabalero, and
Paddy Miles, with a duchess of the
days of Queen Bess.
A large number of other characters
and in plain dress were present, but
want of space forbids more extern
sive description.
At supper it was gratifying to COM
moners to have cold ham passed by
a Royal Highness," and a cup of
coffee by noble duke.
The amiable hostess made all her
guests so completely at home that
many regrets are expressed that this
was the closing party of the season.

SMAsHUP.-A horse attached to a
buggy, containing gentleman, lady
and child, while being driven along
First Street yesterday evening, be-
came fractions and began to kick.
He broke both shafts, kicked the
dash board to pieces, and had it not
been for the timely aid of couple of
the JOURNAL printers, the wicked
beast might have seriously injured
the occupants of the buggy; his heels
coming in threatening proximity to
the faces of the lady and child. AT
ter kicking the front part of the bug
CIV pretty much to pieces, and break
ing loose, he was subdued and led off.

Jordan, well known drayman. who
lives on Second Street, near Clark, sus-
tanned a painful dislocation and frac-
ture of the bones of his left ankle,
on Saturday afternoon. about three
O'Clock, on the wharf.
Mr.. Jordan was in the aot of load
ing a hogshead of tobacco on his dray
when his mule started, and before he
could get out of the way, the hogs
head rolled back. knocking him
down, and rolling onto him, bruising
his shoulder, side and face, and dislo-
eating his ankle. The dislocation
was very severe one, causing intense
pain in being reset, the bones being
fractured at the dislocated joint.
DR.. Thompson, who attended him.
pronounces him out of danger now,
although he suffered severely during
the night from a high fever and pains
in his side. shoulder and leg.

A s'Real Live Wesrerner.o

A London correspondent of the Boston
Journal gives this item:
Il first saw him in Paris-this really ex-
aggerated type cf the Western American
and WAS amused by his swinging manners
and free and easy cut, but in London it
was most delightful. He was as rough and
unrestrained, yet as enjoyable as Cali
fornia ballad. Missouri gave him birth,
and a contract made his fortune. He
wasn't shoddy-was sensible, and made no
foolish pretensions translated into
the rigid atmosphere of England, he did
look queer. Fancy the smoking room of
an aristocratic English hotel electrified by
this:
Waiter, youi Can't you bring one o
them real old cocktails-one o them way
up fellows Hey! Heow long shall you
be? Can't do it? Well, what sort of
country do You call this? None of the
civilized arts left round here, hey? All
gone ont west 2"
"The Englishmen gurgle in despair
Finally the Westerner contents himself
with brandy and soda, and oxclaims ad-
miringly, 'How's that for high? That's
regular old '.you bet" brandy! That's
whatll make you get up and dust
"A few such Westernisms as this. de-
livered in loud voice, make the English
men quake. 1t offends- but il awes them.
As although, mayhap, 1t is not good taste
still it is refreshing to see the dead level
of English cold sobriety stirred up and
warmed into ebullition."

On the 22d of March one of those

the water-spout was presented to the as

vicinity of Thomas Lambert's, on French
creek. Lambert says that on the above
mentioned day, at about noon, he observed
two small, dark clouds, one moving east

appeared TO merge themselves into one
grand column OF water, apparently
many thousand feet in height. ac-
companied with a roaring noise like the
reverberation of hundred steamers all
blowing off steam at once, accompanied
with rain and hail. After the storm had
subsided, Lambert and many others visited
the scene, where they found huge oaks
torn mp from the roots and carried from
one to three hundred yards; stout pines
were broken or twisted off at the ground
and carried up in the air hundreds of feet :.
great cavities were formed in the earth,
and many other evidences of the irresistible
power of the tornado. Fortunately no
houses were in the track, otherwise we
should have had some fatal result One

"lf Thy Foot Offend Thee, Cut il OF and
Cast IL From Thee"

[ A singular case of religious hallucination,
resulting fatally. occurred in East Lampeter
township, Lancaster county, Pa, last
week. A young man named Jacob Harnish,
about II years old deliberately cut off his
own leg with q hatchet. II appears that
for sometime past his mind has been Deep
ly exercised by the subject of religion, and
he spent his spare moments in reading the
Bible. On Saturday this young man and
brother were engaged together in harr owing
n field. Jacob was observed to 90 to a
wood pile and pick up an old axe and ex-
anime it, without, however, saying any
thing which might lead to suspicion that
he intended any injury to himself
The rest of the family went to
dinner, and Jacob not making his ap-
pearance, his mother went in search ofhim,
when she found him lying at the woodpile,
covered with blood. and one ofhis feet lying
some twelve feet from him. The tourniquet
was applied to the limb, which checked the
lhemOrrhage, but the patient was SO much
exhausted from the loss of blood that it was
necessary to wait three hours before ampu-
tating the limb-an operation found neces-
sary to reach the blood vessels, which had
contracted. The amputation was then ac-
complished without further flow of blood,

a few hours, when he expired suddenly.
When asked Why he thus mutilated his
person, he replied that it was necessary to
the salvation of his soul, as Christ had COM
manded, that If thy hand or thy foot
offend thee, cut ii off and east it from thee.
At appears that after examining the axe at
the wood pile, he got another one, which was
sharper. and which he used, and after TAX
ing off the boot ard stocking, he put his leg
on n block, chopping off the foot at three
blows. The first cut was made transversely
ON the kg, and severed both bones, a few
inches above the ankle; the second, which
was in diagonal direction, and little
higher, also cut off both bones; the third
completely severing the fibres of the muscle
by which the loot still adhered to the leg.
After the foot had been cut of, he deliber-

The Pope's joke ON Dirty Bishop.

The following is from Harpers Drawer

We rather hold to the opinion that Plus
IX. is partly indebted for his longevity to
the love of the humorous that is one OF his
prominent characteristics. The good man
! is now seventy-eight and even the weighty
matters that press upon him during the
sessions of the Ecumenical do not prevent
his thorough enjoyment of the passing
good things. 1t has been said that the
most superb looking members OF the Coun-
l'cil are the Oriental prelates, but they are
not much given to ablution-in fact, they
are dirty One of these unclean junction
aries was invited to an interview with his
Holiness. Tie Oriental bishop conld not
speak word of Italian, French or English
nothing but curious Latin, Arabic, and
Chaldee. The interpreter carried on the
conversation. Before going he asked, as
usual, the Papal benediction Now be it
remembered that his Holiness is one of the
cleanest, neatest old men in the world. He
takes a cold sponge-bath every morning,
and when you see him in his nice white
clothes. notice his fresh healthy face hand
some hands, and thoroughly wellk, pit APP
pearance, you cannot help thinking of n
hearty fat baby, just out of the morninc

silvery hair add to this illusion. Imagine
then what such clean old maa must have
felt while breathing the odor of this Orien-
tai species of prelatical sanctity
When asked for his benediction. the
Pope turned to those who surrounded hina,
and said, with an expression peculiarly
Roman these Romans are the most
witty, sarcastic people in the world:
'Are You very sure this bishop does not
understand I.alian?"

One OF those sad cases of insanity that Il
attributable to the excitement consequent
upon aprotracted religious revival occurred

renee was witnessed by a large number OF
citizens, and by none without q most gen.
uine feeling of pity. The facts are as fol-

About four miles from 0ttumwa resided
a family by the name of Fisher. There
| were two sisters in the family; the young
est one, Lydia E., aged o. is the one with
| whom We have to do. She came TO Dayer-
| port two years ago, seeking employment,
which she found at Jacob Shields factory,

with William Nelson, on Main street. Here
she lived eighteen months, working early
and late at the factory, and winning the
good will of every one by-her correct de-
pertinent and unexceptionable character
Six months ago she went to live in the
family of z. A. Tillebein, working still at
Shields, aad there she remained until the
present time.
One night about week ago, Mr.. Tile
bein and his wife were awakened by a
series of shouts, prayers and singing from
her room. Upon going thither they found
her laboring under a temporary attack of
insanity, superinduced by strong religious
excitement. She recovered in few days,

the past few days, except an occasional
wild look about the eyes.

where, after transacting some busi-

Fisher coming toward him, with a rabble
of boys following. Her clothes were wet
through and through, soiled and torn, and
she was talking incOherently. Mr.. L.

The Use or Opium.

Opium eating is one of those private vices
which, because ii does not intrude itself
upon the public, attracts little attention.
Those who have read DeQuincey under
stand the evil effects of the terrible prac-
tice, and those who have not, can refer to
that work for full details OF its demoraliz-
ing influence upon both brain and body
Many persons suppose il is only the T,;lks
and Chinese who use the drug. but they are
mistaken. as large number of persons in
this country and this city, are slaves of
opium.
1t is taken in various forms and quanti-
ties. Some persons use it until it becomes
a necessity Of their natures. Their appe-
tite Graves for it, and they long for the
unnatural, dreamy, intoxicating sensation
it produces They become its victims, and
it holds onto them with the grip of wise.
Ordinary laudanum or morphia, taken in
ternally. was the usual mode of indulging
this vice. But that grew too expensive.
When a man became so bad that dose of
sixty grains was his daily allowance, it was
too costly, for opium eaters are a shiftless
and worthless set, and but few of them
could afford to pay from 81 IS to 50 a day
to crafty their abnormal appetites. A new
and cheaper mode of producing the same
result was demanded, and science pointed
it ont.
This consists in inoculating the system
with the poison. A pint of Morphia is
mixed with two hundred and twenty-nine
pints of water to make up the decoction.
A snail syringe, with fine glass nozzle,
is filed with the mixture, and the sharp
point of the syringe being inserted in one
of the veins of the body, generally in the
arm or one Of the veins of the neck, the
stuff is injected. This is cheap but dan
gerous operation. 1t costs but ten cents a
day to those who survive it, and who do
not furnish job to the undertaken and
Grave digger, which costs their friends
something. 1t requires skilled and prac-
tieed hand to use opium in this way. A
greenhorn attempting it would probably
result in fresh corpse. and serve him
right.
Druggists, who sell much opium, in all
its forms, state that the practice of using
1t as stimulant is fearfully prevalent, and
Is becoming more and more general. OF
all forms OF dissipation, it is the most
dreadful and ruinous, and the confirmed
drunkard is decent beside. the confirmed
opium-eater, and has twice his manhood

The Way 10 SpOiI Girls.

1. Be always telling, from her earliest

hattery even when in the nurses arms, and

2. Begin as soon as she can toddle, to
dress her out in fashionable clothes and
rich dresses. Put hoop upon her at once,
with all the artificial adornments of rounces
and feathers, and flowers and curls. Fond
ness for dress will thus become prominent
characteristic, and will usurp the whole
