means Of their recovery but such is the almost fatal

them. With the above exceptions, The health Of

A London correspondent of the Boston
Journal gives this item:
81 first saw him in Paris this really OK
aggerated type cf the Western American
and was amused by his swinging manners
and free and easy cut but IN London il
was most delightful He was as rough and
unrestrained, yet as enjoyable as a Cali
tornia ballad. Missouri gave him birth,
and contract made his fortune. He
wasn't shOddy-was sensible, and made nc
foolish pretensions but, translated into
the rigid atmosphere of England, he did
look queer. Fancy the smoking room OF
an aristocratie English hotel electrified by
this:
'' Waiter, you! Can't you bring one o
them real old cocktails-one o. them way
up fellows Heyl Heow long shall you
BET Can't do it? Well, what sOEt of a
country do you call this? None Of the
civilized arts left round here, hey2 AL
gone out west" -.
"The Englishmen gurgle in despair.
Finally the Westerner contents himself
with brandy and soda, and exclaims 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
hvered in a loud voice, make the English
men quake. 1t offends-but it awes them.
As although, mayhap, 1t is not good taste
still it is refreshing to see the dead leve
of English cold sobriety stirred up and
warmed into ebullition."

Terrible Water-Spout in EIdOradO Co.,
Cal

A correspondent sends the Mountain
Democrat the following account of q
''water-spout" on French creek: .-
On the 22d of March one of those
strange but sublime spectacles known as
the water-spout was presented to the as
tenished view of the inhabitants in the
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
ward and the other northward, when they
appeared to merge themselves into one
grand column of water, apparently
many thousand feet In height, nc
companied with a roaring noise like the
reverberation of a hundred steamers all
blowing off steam at once, accompanied
with rain and hail. After the storm had
subsidized, Lambert and many others visited
the scene, where they found huge oaks
torn up 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 we're in the track, otherwise we
should have had some fatal result. One
miner was in his claim, but believed him
self under bank of earth. A small reser-
voir which he was using at the time, and
which was nearly full of water, was COM
pletely sucked mp in the vortex and carried,
no man knoweth whittier. We did not as
certain his name, but presume he was
somewhat demoralized. - a- t.-

TIE use Of Oninm.

Opium eating is one of those private vices
which, because it does not intrude itself
upon the public, attracts little attention.
Those who have read DeQuincsy 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 it is only the Turks
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 shiftless
and worthless set, and but few of them
could afford to pay from 81 rs to 81 day
to crafty their abnormal appetites. A new
and cheaper mode of producing the same
result was demanded, and science pointed
it out
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 small 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 dam
gerous operation. 1t costs but ten cents a
day to those who survive it, and who do
not furnish a 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 a fresh corpse, and serve him
right.
Druggists, who sell much opium, in all
its forms, state that the practice of using
it as stimulsnt 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.

Young Lady Attends a Revival
Meeting and becomes n Raving
Maniac I'm Consequence
From the Rock Island Argus, April %.
One of those sad cases of insanity that is
attributable to the excitement consequent
upon aprotracted religious revival occurred
in Davenport yesterday, on the public
streets, whereby young lady's mind is in
jHred, if not destroyed for life. The occur
renee was witnessed by large number of
citizens, and by none without most gen.
uine feeling of pity. The facts are as fol-
lows;
About four miles from Ottumwa 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 Daven-
port two years ago, seeking employment,
which she found at Jacob Shields factory,
where she tended a loom. She boarded
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 E. A. Tillebein, working still at
Shields, and there she remained until the
present time.
One night about o 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 a few days,
aud has appeared as well as ever during
the past few days, except an occasional
wild look about the eyes.
Just after dinner yesterday, she quietly
left the house, and walked directly through
the water above the railroad bridge, over
two and half feet deep, and turned down
Third street, where she commenced to
swing her parasol, shout, and conduct her.
self ike demented. Mr.. Tillebein had left
his home few moments before, and took
the street cars down to Western avenue,
where, after transacting some bust
ness, he turned down to Second
street, aad in walking up he met Miss
Fisher coming toward him, with a rabble
of boys following Her clothes we're wet
through and through, soiled and torn, and
she was talking incOherently. MIR. L.
could scarcely believe his own eyes that
this was the neatly dressed girl that he had
left quietly eating dinner with his wife half
an hour before. An officer who had been
watching her movements came up, and the
two persuaded her to go up to Maj. Schnit-
gers, where a room was furnished her, and
proper treatment administered.
Miss Fisher had recently been attending
revival meetings at the Baptist church, and
had become greatly aroused on the subject
of religion, with the above result. She is
represented by all who knew her as very
amiable girl, of strict integrity and pleas
ing manners. The best of medical attend
ance has been summoned. and pleasant
apartments assigned her at the jail, where
she remains temporarily until suitable
place can be provided for her.
