Adventure with n Maniac.

A doctor in Wales recently had a STIR
ring adventure, ia which his GOODNESS
alone saved him from injury and probably
from death. He wa called upon in the
evening by a man who desired him TO 90
at once to see a patient who was very i'll.
A local paper gives the subsequent events
as follows :
1.-The doctor Immediately proceeded 10
the house with the messenger but when
they got inside, for some reason which, TO
some minds. must appear to be- quite mex
plicable, the messenger locked the door Of
the house. The maniac. on perceiying DIR.
Williams. courteously accosted him. and
addressed him as My Lord So far this
beginning was pleasant enough. Instant
ly afterward the maniac observed that he
was proud and happy To see his lordship
in his humble dwelling. more especially as
he wanted to do him "A particular favor. In
fact. he wanted to behead him. unfortu-
nately, the doctor by this time had got in
to the corner furthest from the door and
n he very naturally did not look on being
beheaded rs a great favor, he decidedin his
mind TO beat about the bush for a time
until a favorable opportunity for escaping
presented itself. Assuming an air OF STERN
ness and dignity. lac remarked that noble
men We're not accustomed 10 be- beheaded
in a clumsy and bungling manner. but
that their heads were cut off by means OF a
sharp sword.
The mailman acknowledged the reason
ableness and propriety OF the suggestion,
and went into an old cupboard aud pro-
duced what he termed "A sword-yiZ.: a
square piece of wood with blunt edges.
and sharpened 10 "A point at one of its ends.
The wary doctor still had decided objec-
tons TO instant decapitation on the ground
hat noblemen when beheaded We're dis
patched neatly. He urged that the sword
should be well sharpened. The mailman
did not see this point very clearly. adding
that if the sword did not cut the head of
completely, il did not much matter. mas
much as he could use the sharp point A. a
bayonet. and so finish the business in that
way. DIR. Williams mildly limited that
Mr.. Maniac should first exercise his be-
heading talents upon the man who had
acted rs messenger land who had most un-
wisely locked the door upon them. He
remarked that as a rule corpses
were not pleasant things i'm a house, and
pointed Il the desirability of opening the
door before the messenger was operated
upon. in order that the corpse might be
more readily into the street. This
was unhesitatingly agreed 10. The locked
door was opened. and then the maniac
charged the messenger with the wooden
bayOnet i'm the back. We need hardly say
that this was the eliminating point. A
police officer was sent for. and the doctor
returned home. thankful for his escape

The R0ad-RunDer.

The California road-runner is bird
of remarkable aspect and of most sin
gular habits. The body Of the bird is
about the size ola blue-jay, and it's tail,
which is elevated at an angle of (say)
22a degrees, is foot or morein length.
The head is crowned with a crest of
blue, streaked with white, and the
feathers of the head and neck are mostly
bristle tipped. The upper plumage is
lustrous bronze-green, the sides and
neck being tawny-brown striped with
black. The bird seldom flies, but is
endowed with extraordinary swiftness
of foot, and will imp to the height of
eight feet Aided by it's wings, held as
outriggers, the bird will tax a fleet
horse in race. It is said to be able to
run five miles on stretch. It's food
consists ofreptiles, shellfsh and insects.
It has acquired the name of rattlesnake
killer from it's skill in catching that
game. The San Luis Obispo Tribute
narrates the following story of it's method
of Strengthening the snake. We give it
for what it is worth cit has a strong
passion for this kind of business. It
watches the snake until it goes to sleep;
it then flies to the cactus buds and
brings their prickles and makes regu-
lar corral about the snake. This is the
death line. The runner does not let the
snake die in this easy manner; he flies
over him and drops the poisonous prick
les down upon him, and in this manner
accomphshes the work of death" The
road-runner belongs to the family of the
Cuculide, or cuckoos.

A Chance for Crusading.

Werewe to say that intemperance has
reached magnitude in England COM
pared with which there is nothing so
fragrant in this country, it would prob
ably be declared that the statement was
mere exaggeration. Here, however,
from a London paper Of Jul y 7th, is
terrible confession, which tells this and
more. It runs thus: "Whit Monday,
1874, will probably be handed down to
posterity as the most drunken day Of
the nineteenth century. Never, per-
haps, within the memory Of the middle
aged population of London, have such
horrible scenes disgraced the metropo-
lis as were brought about by the bank
holiday. Early in the afternoon the
air was heavy with the gin-perfumed
breath Of the crowd, and, toward even
ing, every other pleasure seeker was
either drunk or getting so. damned
together in gaudy gin palaces, men,
women and children maudled, quarrel
ed or fought from dusk to midnight.
When the houses closed and turned the
semi-delirious holiday makers into the
street, they became public nuisances.
This day was feast of soulless vice,
national drunken orgie."

Why Napoleon Fell.

Many reasons have been given for
the fail of Napoleon only this one is
dear to me-''a poor thing, sir, but
had5 not eyes to see the power that is
always behind it. Through life he
needlessly and wantonly afronted the
self-love of women. He found fault
with the dresses Of ladies of his court
an insult that some women take more
to heart than slur on their beauty or
reputation. He drove away Madame
de Stsel when she would have adored
him, and so secured an enemy always
fighting under cover. He outraged
the whole sex by divorcing Josephine,
and when he married princess OF the
house of Austria, counting on her in
fuence with her father. The simplest
of women could have told him that it
was useless when she had stepmother.
And he suffered Maria Louisa to offend
that stepmother by outshining her in
diamonds and othermagnifcence, when
he held a review of royalty at Dresden.
His minister Talleyrand, whose career
is nearly as wonderful as his own,
always heartily despised women, but
never overlooked their influence, At
Sedan, six miles from Waterloo, was
French failure of another color. There.
the third Napoleon would have been
almost as deeply indebted as his uncle
to a friendly bullet in his back

An Embryo Emperor in Training.

The Empress Eugene has not many
English friends, but her son takes
home a companion now and then from
Woolwich. One who knows him we'll
tells me he is being trtored beyond all
reason. From the moment he gets up
until the time he goes to bed he is
under the forcing pressure, and the
result is he looks but sickly plant
He seems to get paler and thinner as
he becomes sensible of the expectations
formed of him, and as he strives to an
swer them. The mother is the type
of Spanish bigot, and already the
boy chafes under the perpetual round
Of ceremonies and confessions. The
Empress is now SO completely under
the influence Of her priests that she has
become prosel ytist, and more than
one Of her English visitors have been
embarrassed by receiving at her hands
what would be called in Protestant
phraseology religious tracts and
what are really controversial books on
Roman Catholic theology. In present
ing them, she invites attention to
passages which she has marked, and
which bear more especially upon the
errors of the reformed religion. She
speaks English pretty freely, though
with a strong accent; the Prince, of
course, understands our tongue, though
he preserves an accent. It is said that
he is about to leave for sojourn in

A Weasel's Stratagem.

An exchange gives the following &C
count of weasel's stratagem, with the
suspicious remark that it is vouched for
by a friend: A grist mill was infested
with large rats, until a weasel came
there, and destroyed nearly all of them
There was, however, one large rat which
he could not conquer. They had sever
al pitched battles in which the rat
whipped the weasel, until whenever the
rat appeared the weaselwould seek safe
ty in fight. They we're watched for
several days, when the weasel was OBJ
served to be digging hole in the earth
under pile of lumber. After he had
completed it he approached the mill,
and the rat came after him as usual
He made some show of fight until he
had got the rat interested, and then ran
into his hole. The rat followed, when
the weasel was seen to come out at the
other end of the hole, and run in at the
entrance after the rat. Subsequent ex-
animation proved that the weasel had
made the hole large enough for the rat
to enter, but had contracted the other
end so that he could not get out. Hav-
ing thus trapped his antagonist, the
weasel took him in the rear, and easily
conquered him.

Unpleasant Interruption of Comet
GaZerS.

A young Albany (Oregon) couple were
out on doorstep on Gospel Ridge,
late one evening looking at the comet,
then visible in the northern heavens. At
least it was evident the young lady
wanted to see the comet, because she
was overheard to tell the young gentle
man to'keephis head out of the way so
she could see the comet!" Then there
was noise like the sudden drawing of
a horses hoof out Of the stiff mud, and
then-and then-well, the old man
thrust his head out the front door of
the house, and the young astronomers
turned their backs to each other, and
began counting the stars aloud with
great vehemence. The old man told
them that the spheroidal mass which
they'll had been so diligently contemplate
ing on the ETHEREAL dome scarcely de-
manded any more of their united atten-
ton that evening, and the young man
would very much oblige him by peregri
mating In the direction of his local habi-
tation at that immediate period of time,
or he would enable him to see the stars
with more multitudinosity.

Camph0r Water as a GerminatOr.

Many years ago it was discovered and
recorded that water saturated with
camphor has a remarkable effect upon
the termination of seeds. A Berlin pro
lessor has lately established the fact
that solution Of camphor stimulates
plants as alcohol does animals He took
seeds of various species of beans and
peas, of varying ages, and put some be-
tween sheets OF paper wet with water
and others between sheets dipped in a
solution of camphor. In many cases
the seeds moistened simply wirh water
did not swell at all while in every in
stance those subjected to the camphor
solution speedily terminated. A pro-
longed series Of experiments showed
the unvarying result of a singular
awakening Of dormant vitalism and a
wonderful quickening OF growth by the
application of camphor. The effect was
lasting, the plants stimulated by the
drug continuing todevelop with uncom-
mon vigor. On the other hand. when
powdered camphor was mixed with the
soil the effect was deleterious. These
experiments afford hint to farmers
and gardeners for the treatment of
seeds and grains.
