How They Played II on DOugherty
From the Detroit Free Press.

One day last week four or five Detroiters
went into Macomb county to shoot squirrels
and kick their shins against logs and fence
rails. They had Just eaten q cold lunch IN
the woods one noon, when one OF the party
Young man named Dougherty, stretched
out on bis back. pulled his hat over his eyes,
and gave his mind up to the work of assist
ing his body to catch a little rest. The re-
mainder Of the party having an understand
ing before quietly withdrew one by one.
One of them passed around to a bush, near
Doughertys feet, and took a thin rattle-box
from his pocket Another stood close TO the
young mans legs, and in suppressed
voice, when the signal was given, whis-
pered
- For heavens sake Doughsrty, do mt
move 50 much as a finger A big FattleSnake
Is right under your leg
Dougherty was flat on his back, eyes Gov
cred, arms sprawled out. and his voice
trembled as he replied
My God what shall do?"
Keep perfectly quiet 1t is your only
hope If You even raise finger he viii dart
his fangs into you!'
The man with the rattle-box gave it a
shake. and reached ont and laid a club
across Doagherty's legs, while the other
man moved Of nbout twenty feet and ex-
claimed
"Heavens what can we do2 If we shoot
We may kill Doughertyi"
The club was rolled off en- the ground. and
the victim whispered
- For mercy's sake, kill it
The club was rolled over his legs again
the box shaken. and the man whispered
back
" Be quiet or j. : instant death. think
the snake wants to 90 to sleep and if yor
viii keep still you viii he all right
The box was shaken. theclub moved about
and finally the " snake seemed to Oougher
not whisper for fear of rousing il. out one o.
the men cried out:
There it Is asleep. Well move away
and wait for it to glide off"
The whole crowd moved over behind {
bank and laughed and rolled and tore up tn,
dirt until they were exhausted, while boo
Dougherty lay there Ike a log, not ever
daring to draw an ordinary breath. The
sweat ran down his face, and started out
from his body until his shirt was wringing
wet. The fellows took his guns and tramp
ed away, leaving him thus, and were gone
an hour and half When they returned
Dougherty was sitting up, no wing discovered
the joke about five minutes previously. He
did nj have word TO say but there was q
whole unabridged dictiona, in bis eye They
spoke to him, but for an answer lie rose up
shouldered his gun, and lade Decline fol
the highway, and none o the party have met
him since

The Paris correspondent of the DAILY rec
graph writes g A strange incident Is re,
ported from Lyons, of which | first heard
some DAYS ago, without crediting it. On
the 9th of October two young people were
married in that town. Within a few hours
of the ceremony they came insensible, and
have remained so ever since. The Lyonese
doctors have ex hausted their science IN TINS
case, and the luckless pair, though aiiVe
yet, are evidently sinking from starvation
There can be no question but that some mar
cotic of the most VIC lent class has been gwen
them, probably as a joke. To-day we are
told that a youngman, apprentice to chemist
has been arrested on suspicion. But II Is
believed that several of the marriage guests
bore part in the affair, which was meant as

GOSSIP OF THE DAY.

Apropos of rheumatism. John Trotman
of Wathena, No., was great sufferer from
this incorrigible infrmity. Physicians were
in vain, and were likely to be, inasmuch as
the complaint was rheumatism and the pa
tent was co years old. So Mr.. Trotman, In
the absence Of his wife, tied two fat-lrons
under his chin and lin some unaccountablc
way) his hands behind his back, and thus
accoutered plunged into Peter S Creek, where
he was found soon after quite tree from
rheumatism and from everything else except
the fat-irons The man who was hired TO
watch Mr.. Trotman, and who didn't watch
him, hasn't been arrested, though he should
be. and at least fined for mitigated man
slaughter. The kind of rheumatism which
thew have in Connecticut doesn't seem to
affect the mind, but it is very steady and
lasting. A doctor was called in East Hart
ford last week to man Jagged 66) who was
excessively rheumatical "How long have
YOU had it?" says the doctor. Forty
wears" responded the sufferer. The doctor
left without prescribing. We cannot tell
how much we should like to see even par
tial list of the remedies to which during his
life our Connecticut martyr had probably
resorted. He has carried roll of birthstone
in his left pantaloons pocket. He has car
ried bit Of magnetized iron in his right
ditto. He has foated $50 to speak) in Pain
Killer. He has put his trust in cam
fire. and likewise in capsicum. Whatso-
ever things are hot or bracing, or tonic or
rubefacient. he has resorted Toto the
king of Pain," to the Ready and Rap
turous Relief" to Oils, TO Ointments, to
Poor Mans Porous Plasters, to Red Elan
mel Shirts, to Galvanic Braces, to ''Opydll-
dock" to Hers and Roots ond Seeds-to
all things which grow or flow, which are
digged from the bowels Of the earth, which
are extorted from crucibles, which drip from
retorts, which are rosy or pale in apotheca-
rvs bottles-to powders, to tinctures, to
decoctions, to pills, to essences, to panaceas,
and to elixirs-to boluses and globules and
infnitesimal dilutions-to hot rum and wat
err. to cold gin and sugar, to brandy PLAN
to sweats and to starvation, to flesh diet
and to fish diet and to fowl diet-and all IN
vain.

Treasury department, is henceforth to be
