A QUEER LUNATIC.

On Saturday afternoon, 18th ult., some
boys were gathering chestnuts in wood
near Springfield, Mass, when they were
met by man named George Moore,who
captured one named Henry Piper and
led him for an hour with handkerchief
tied around his thumb, threatening to
kill him. He has at last been arrested,
and is the puzzle of both officials and
doctors in that wise city. o. 81
He gave his name as Edward Moore,
of Boston Highlands, and told a curious
story of himself He said that he was
thirty-two years old, and the son of a
glider in the Highlands. When sixteen
years old he ran away with another boy.
having committed crime. They were
arrested, the other boy going to the State
Reform School and he getting off by the
payment of fine. He finally enlisted
in the 18th Massachusetts, regiment of
infantry, but deserted it at Culpepper
Court House., He made his way to
Rochester, and enlisted again and went
to Louisiana. While at Tibberdore he
stole bag of corn and was sent to Dry
Tortugas for three years. The Captain
of his company accused him of robbing
a man of $1,000, but he didn't do it
He has driven -horse-cars in Boston

been hostler in Rochester, N. Y, eaten

been without water three days: specu-
lated in mining stock, gambled in Cali
fornia, and bought and sold horses on
the Plains. He had never murdered
anybody and didn't intend to harm the
boys at Springfield although he told
them SO. He is thought to be the same

Peter Cartwright and Gen. Jackson.
Characteristic Anecdote.f.

An incident happened in Nashville,
Tenn, during the Annual Conference,
and is thus narrated in the famous Pc
ter's Autobiography:
Monday evening came; the church
was filled to overfowing. Every seat
was crowded and many had to stand. =
After singing and prayer, Brother Mac
(the preacher in charge) took his seat in
the pulpit then read my text, What
shall it profit man if he gain the whole
world and lose his own SOUL After read
ing my text | paused. At that moment
saw Gen. Jackson walking up the aisle
He came to the middle post, and very
gracefully leaned against it and stood, as
there were no vacant seats. Just then
felt some one pull my coat tail in the
stand, and, turning my head, my fastid-
ious preacher Brother Mac) whispering
a little loud, said: Gen. jackson has
come in; Gen. Jackson has come 7 [ felt
a flash of indignation run all over me
like an electric shock, and, facing about
to my congregation, and purposely speak
ing out audibly, said: Who is Gen.
jackson? If he don't get his soul con-
verted, God will damn him as quick as
he would a Gueno negro 7
'.The preacher tucked his head down
and squatted low, and would no doubt
have been thankful for leave of absence.
The congregation, Gen. Jackson and all,
smiled, or laughed right out. all at the
preachers expense. When the congre-
cation was dismissed, my city-stationed
preacher stepped up to me, and very
sternly said to me You are the strang.
est man ever saw, and Gen. jackson
will chastise you for your insolence be-
fore you leave the city Very clear o1
it. said |, for Gen. Jackson, | have nc
doubt, will applaud my course; and if he
should undertake to chastise me there
are two that can play at that game
''Gen. Jackson was staying at one O
the Nashville hotels. Next morning
very early, Brother Mac went down t.
the hotel to make an apology to Genera
Jackson for my conduct in the pulpi
the night before. Shortly after passes
by the hotel and met General jackson
on the pavement, and before approach
ed him by several steps, he smiled, an
reached out his hand and said:
"Mr. Cartwright, you are a man afte

There must be something done to pre-
vent those horrid mistakes of druggists
clerks. One of the careless fellows lately
gave a young man in Manchester bot
tie of mucilage instead of cologne, The
youth went to church, and after applying
the contents of the bottle freely to his
handkerchief, and applying the hand
kerchief freely to his nose, he was in no

heard to mutter something that ended
with, an ''n"-and it wasn't amen,

In Scotland they have narrow, open
bitches, called sheep drains. A man was
riding a donkey one day across the pas

sheep drain he would not go over it. So
the man rode him back short distance,
and turning around, put the whip to him,
thinking, Of course, that the donkey 60

he knew it. But not so. On they came,
and when the donkey got to the drain

A SINGULAR MORMON STORY

The Wman'S Eaposttor Mormon
Journal, has been publishing articles in
favor of polygamy, and giving instances
of happiness in the plural marriage state
As an offset to some of the stories, the
Salt Lake Tribune gives the following
which is vouched for as strictly true
A few years ago there lived in the
town of Spanish Fork man who was
blessed with a loving companion She
was the wife of his early years, kind,
loving, and affectionate. She fairly
idolized her husband, his love for her
being equal. They lived only as those
do who love each other with pure affec-
ton. But the Elders were continually
advising the husband to take another
wife, telling him it was the only true
road to salvation.
"But," said he, ''my poor wife would

with that state of life
"What p said the bishop, 'do you
pretend to be governed by your wife ?
Are you going to lose salvation that you
may please your wife? 1t was damn
ed foolery like that, that played the dev-
il with man in the first place for pleas

the garden of Eden and, like him, you,
to please your wife, would throw away
your salvation. Now, | advise you to
take another wife as quick as possible OF
else dread the i'll will of the Lord"
Hearing this, the poor fellow was pre-
vailed upon to take another wife. He
did so and as he said, his poor wife be.

THREE CHEERS FOR THE ELDER.-The
State of Ohio used to be famous for it's
camp-meetings and religious revivals !;
but if what we hear from there now-a-
days is true, it has sadly lost its prest-
age in those particulars. An Ironton
paper tells us of a circumstance which
lately occurred in that locality which is
strong Indication that there is some-
thing wrong either about the preachers or
the people. A revival preacher, who
had achieved considerable reputation as
to his powers in the pulpit. went to Iron
ton for week, to ''start revival He
showed great zeal, preaching every night
during his stay, got double row Of
.mourners' benches ready, and called
frantically upon his congregation to come
forward. The last night there was ar
immense gathering, and the preacher
fairly outdid himself. He shouted, ant
pleaded, and waited, but all in vain
Not soul rose. Finally, discouraged
beyond measure, he sat down. At tha
| juncture. a long faced, anxious-lookin,
man got up, and said that the elder ha,
been working hard and labored faith
fully with them, and as a token of thei
appreciation he moved the congregatio
give him three cheers. 1t was done wit
+ heartiness which made the pews tren
bic, and the people went home satisfe
that they had fully and faithfully PEI
formed their duty. The preacher hs
ever since been waiting to see Ironto
destroyed by fire.
