ChlOrOfOrming a Crazy Man with
Syringe. .f

There is confined at our Aims House
a man who is mad as a March hare. He
is religiously crazy, very volatile, ugly
in temper, and filthy beyond description
Yesterday it became necessary to have
him taken from the cell where he has
been confined, in order to have it thor
oughly cleaned. DIR. Ward tried all the
persuasion he was capable of to induce
the madman to be quiet and allow him
self to be taken care of, but the poor
fellows mind was wandering among the
ruined walls of Zion, where the ser
pents hiss and spit, and the birds of evil
hide, and he became violent and danger
Gus. 1t was also ascertained that the
mailman had secreted in the nasty straw
of his cell razor and other things. 1t
was concluded to be a good plan to try
the persuasive influence of chloroform,
and hole was bored in the floor over
his cell with an inch and quarter auger.
AS soon as the hole was made, the crazy
man would stop it up with rags by
means of stick that he had procured,
and the doctors had a lively time. DIR.
Bissell, who was present, produced from
among his repertory of instruments, a
machine Ikea garden syringe, and came
to the little half-moon hole in front of
the cell. The machine was full of chloro-
form. The man, exulting in his strategy
and throwing things around in a loose
and unpleasant manner, presented full
face front to the hole in the door, when
the doctor let drive the contents Of the
machine. 1t struck him fair and filed
his beard and moustache, and very soon
he became quiet as lamb under the as
tonishing novelty of treatment. After
he had been subdued, he was brought
out of his cell and thoroughly washed
all over and put into clean clothing and
transferred to another cell which had
been prepared, there to stay until an
other removal shall become necessary

An Arkansas paper tells of a genius
who conceived that monkeys would, ON
account of their nimble fingers, make
splendid cotton pickers with a little
training, and further calculated that
one good hand could manage about ten
monkeys, and the expense of cotton
picking be reduced to a minimum.
When the experiment was tried, how
ever, it was found that instead of one
good hand being able to manage ten
monkeys, it required about ten good
hands to one monkey.

According to the California papers,
the annual production of gold in that
State has in eight years time fallen
from $25,600,00O to Sl6,400,000, and has
now become an ordinary occupation,
yielding no more than an average re-
enumeration, and not so much as many
other trades. The business, it is stated.
has passed under the control of large
capitalists, and the miners receive wages
of $2.75 day.
