A Curious Mania.

The peculiar vagaries Ito which
the lottery mania will lead peo.
pie are often as interesting as they
nre pitiable for contemplation
The intoxications of drink and Of
hope are equally fatal to success
in life when too much INDUCED in;
one will work nearly as much ruin
as the other.
A singular instance Of the des.
tructive tendency Of the "policy'
fever, and Of its tenacity, too, has
lately come to light in Baltimore.
A few years ago a grocer died
there, leaving his wife the store
and property, worth about So, 900,
on which she managed to live com
,fortably. One day a customer
mentioned to her that a friend had
made two hundred dollars on q
lottery ticket, and this so worked
upon her mind that she began in.
vesting in that way until, in a
short time, she had expended all
she owned and bad received moth
ing.
Since then she has opened a
lodging-room for men and boys,
where bed can be had for fifteen
cents, a bench for ten cents, and
an old blanket on the floor for four
cents. The room is well filled
every night, and as affording shell
ter, is the means of doing some
good but that is not the motive
for which the establishment
opened. The poor woman is as
ardent as ever in her belief that
she will some day draw a fortune,
and she requires Of every lodger
that he will try to dream of the
lucky numbers and must tell her
of them in the morning. When
ever she draws anything on such
information she gives a part to
the dreamer. Ia this way she
lives along from day to day put
ting her lew cents OF surplus in
to worthless pasteboard tickets
and receiving her regular divi
dends of disappointment.-Hart-
ford Courdnt.

His Faults.

The AGantic Monthly now the
Presidential election is over, is much
more frank and truthful than ii
was whilst that event was pending.
1t now tells General Grant it was
unfortunate he should have come
into office loaded with the gifts of
citizens, and that it gave just caus.
es for criticism; that he showed
an inclination to call the givers to
high placs in the Government. He
is also told that he Compounded
his dignity" in repudiating the
sale of bis house to Mayor Bowen,
and selling it at higher price to
other parties to be presented by
them TO Gen. Sherman; that he set
"a bad example" in appointing his
relations to office; that it was "a
worse scandal" in him to permit his
brother-in-law at the Capitol to
follow the profession of claim a.
gent against-the Government; that
his sea-loiterings and junketipg-
excursions might / ave been excus,
ed, but for the peculiar character
of his associates, that he ought not
TO have suffered himself to get
entangled il the Black Friday
God corner, nor made companions.
of men notorious as public robbers,
nor received hospitalities and 9TH
er favors from them. Finally,
says the Atlantic, the American
people do not like to see Presi-
dent with military surroundings,
and General Grants disregard of
this feeling shows either "a lack
of perception of popular sentiment
or a contempt for it. And yet,
knowing that he was guilty of all
these charges, the Atlsntic Jealous
ly advocated his re election, on the
theory, we suppose, that having
done 80 badly in the past, he could
te trusted TO do better in the fu-
ture.

Parallels.

The sudden death Of Mr..
Greeley, under the pressure Of
an unaccustomed political agi-
tation, aggravated by severe do
mestic affiiction, recalls to mind
the sudden deaths Of Presidents
Harrison and Taylor.
Gen. Harrison was so over
come with ceremonies and hand,
shakingS, to which he was un-
used, that, when he reached
Washington to be inaugurated,
both hands had to be trussed up,
they being in a perfectly help
lesscondition. He was exhaust
ed, and the delivery of his in
augural on an. inclement day
brought OIL his enfeebled and dis
composed system the cold that
resulted in pneumonia and end
ed his days,
General Taylor succumbed al.
SO to q regular disease which
his system, weakened by his un-
accustomed public duties, could
not resist.

A Little Composition on
the WheelbarrOw.

The Danbury Ne1cs man says:
If you have occasion to use il
wheelbarrow, leave it when you
are through with it, in front Of
the house with the handles to-
ward the door. A Wheelbarrow
is the most complicated thing to
fall over on the face of the earth.
A man will fall over one when he
would never think of falling o.
yer any thing else; he never
knows when he has got through,
falling over it, either; for it wilt
tangle his legs and his arms,
turn over with him and rear up
in front OF him, and just as he
pauses in his profanity TO con-
gratulate himself, it takes a new
turn, and scoops more skin of
of him, and he commences to
evolute anew, and bump him
self on fresh places. n man
never ceases to fall over 4 wheel
barrow until it turns completely
on its back, or brings up against
something it can not upset. 1t
is the most inOffensiye looking
object there is, but it is more
dangerous than n locomotive,
and no man is secure with one
unless he has q tight hold of It's
handles and is sitting down OH
S something. n wheelbarrow
has its uses, without doubt, but
in its leisure moments is the
blighting curse on true dignity.

In Peril from a Drunken

From the Altoona (Penn.) Tribune.
A few nights sinc.'the locomo
tive of train on the Pennsylva
MIA Railroad was run between
Pittsbprg and Altoona by an en-
gineer who had, unkDowicgly tt
the conductor, become considera
bly, intoxicated in the former city
At times, at the most dangerous
places, the man put the engine tc
its utmost test-forty five aud ff
ty miles an hour. But whenever
he saw a red light he reversed the
locomotive and brought into oper.
alton the patent air-brake. The
stoppages from Pittsburg to Altoo.
ma on this account were very
many, and the train was several
hours late on arriving at the lat
ter place. The peculiar move
ments of the train greatly excited
the passengers, and filled them
with painful amazement. The
conductor had become informed
of the engineers conduct, but he
could find DO one to whom be
could intrust the responsibility of
running the train. He studious-
ly kept the secret from the pas
sengers, lest its divulgemen. would
fill them with terror. Notwith-
standing the dangerous hands in
which probably a hundred lives
had been placed, the train reached
the end of the engineers run with
safety. 1t is needless to add that
the drunken employe of the COM
pany was promptly discharged
He had previously been considered
one OF the best and most reliable
engineers-as be was one of the
oldest-on the rosd. On the day
Of the accident, unfortunately, he
fell in with a party Of friends, and

Courting under Difficult
ties.

The Greenville Reporter and
Sentinel says, young gentlemen
who go counting in this place see
lively times. Oneofthemdid on
Wednesday night, anyhow. The
younger sisterof the lady called
upon fixed a lever to the bottom
of a cane-seated chair, setting a
darning needle in one end there
of and tying string to the 9TH
er. When the string was pulled
upon the needle would fly up
through one of the holes in the
chair bottom as neat and regu-
lar as that Of a sewing-machinc.
When the young gentleman en-
tered the room she handed him
this chair, and took her seat at
a table just behind him. As he
began to expatiate upon the
yariableness of the weather, she
gave the string a pull and the
youths countenance put on an
expression of horror simply in
describable.
"What is the matter, Mr.-'?'
asked the fair one of his heart.
ooh nothing-d-n it!' as
another pull Of the string sent
him two feet off the chair and
his hands flew to the rear.
"Why!' Mr.-!" exclaimed
the shocked damsel.
BEG pardon! A sudden pain
in my side only" exclaimed the
youth, as he felt suspiciously of
the chair-bottOm before he plac-
ed himself upon it. For a few
moments the conversation went
on uninterrupted, when the ope-
rator of the machine got up to
leave the room. just as she
reached the door she gave the
string a sudden jerk. Theyoung
man pitched forward with yell
which would have done credit 10
a COmanchc, his teeth rattling
like castanets and his legs flying
around like the arms of ii wind
mill in gale. His lady love
was horror-stricken, until she |
picked up the overturned chair,

Thirty Years in Prison.

Some thirty years ago Thoma,
Thorn was convicted of murder
sentenced to death, and to hare
labor in theStatePr at Thorn
aston, Maine, until the time of hi:
execution. A few weeks age
he was pardoned. During q
short interview with Mr.. Rice
the Warden of the Maine State
Prison, we were curious to find
how he was impressed with the
outside world after having been
shut up from it nearly whole
generation. Mr.. Rice says that,
although a man Of fifty, he was
really III character and maturity
Of mind only boy of fifteen.
On his release the Warden took
him from ThOmaston to Rock
land, a distance Of only four
miles, in a buggy. As Thorn
rode along, his first expressions
were that the distance between
the two places was immense, and
that the time occupied in the
journey was very long. What
to an everyday traveller would
seem but a few rods. aDDpared IN
him miles.
On reaching Rockland he
stood up in the buggy and look
ed around in amazement. Be-
fore his Imprisonment, thirty
years ago, he had known it as a
little village. He now saw a
city. 'Is this Rockland?" said
he in his bewilderment; "why,
it looks just like New York"
(When a boy he had been to
New York on a coaster). The
citizens of Rockland made him
up a purse of fifty dollars,
and in his childlike glee he was
telling everybody of his good
fortune. Seeinghis simprudence
and that there were those around
him that might relive him Of his
treasure, Mrs. Rice warned
him that he should say nothing
about his money, as there were
thieves and pickpockets in the
world now. 'Oh don't you be
afraid, Mrs. Rice, exclaimed the
ex-prisoner, 'I've travelled; |
know a thing or two about the
world. See here I've the mon
cy hid in this back pocket I'M
der my coat; nobody would ev~
er think oflooking there forit." "
Thus he had unconsciously in
formed the bystanders, against
whom the good Warden's wifi.
was cautioning him, just where
his money was.
1t was Thorn's purpose to go
to Whitehall, New York, where
he has two nieces residing who
were born since his imprison-
ment. Of late years they have
corresponded withhim, and have
kindly offered him a home with
them. On parting with Mr..
Rice to whom he was greatly at
tached, he promised that he
would write him and let him
know how he was getting on out
in the world.-Bomgor CONNER
