more so in the abuse of the winner of
the wager. He became the object of the
most virulent attacks. The language
usually attributed to the classic locale of
Billingsgate was unscrupulously launched
against him. Mr.. Hampden represented
him as a cheat and a swindler to all the
learned bodies alluded to, and still main
tanned that the earth was flat" OF
course there could not be found any per-
son but the propounder fiat enough to
believe in the theory" and perhaps,
therefore, Mr.. Wallace could have afford
ed to allow the lunatic to rant and rave
and spend his money for printers bills.
But he at length became tired of adopt
ing the quiescent policy and prosecuted
his calumniator for libel Mr.. Hampden
was sentenced to two years imprison-
ment, but on promise of future good
behavior he was released few months
before the term expired. He at once
broke his promise and launched out into
fresh lnvectives against Mr.. Wallace.
This resulted, last month, in another SEN
tence, this time of twelve months i'm
prisonment, and Mr. Hampden, in a dun
geon, is now revolving in his mind his
theory" of the " flatness" OF the EARTH
Our readers will probably ask: Why
was not the unfortunate gentleman long
ago sent to an insane asylum The ready
answer to this is. that if all the prOmul-
gators of silly theories were consigned
to such an institution there would
scarcely be enough persons left to act as
keepers. Mr.. Hampden is not single in
his "theory" The " squareness" of the
earth is referred to in the Bible. Byron
makes mention of certain Oriental
monarch who travelled a considerable
distance to discover if the earth was
round, but found all nature square" 1t
is the misfortune of many person, like
poor Mr.. Hampden, to think that he
alone is sane, and that all the rest of the
world are mad; but let us hope that
there are few individuals who, like that
gentleman, would calumniate and vilify
others for differing from them in opinion.
Mr.. Wallace probably deserves little
sympathy, for he made bet which he
knew he must win; but still the conduct
of his vilifier is unpardcnable, except on
the ground of insanity. He now, prob
ably, considers himself. like Calico, a
martyr to the truth and will, in all prob
ability, never get the kink out of his
head that the earth is "flat." 1t is to be
hoped, however, that, on his release, his
friends will take care of him, and see
that, while he enjoys his theory" him
self, he puts nobody else to annoyance

A Lunatic at Large.

WE believe 1t was DR.. johnson who
said that no mind was perfectly sane ex-
cept the Almighty's. This, probably, is
only another way of putting the good
old proverb, memo naOrtatiunn in omnibus
horis sdpit, although, perhaps, man
may be sane without being wise. But
the case of lunacy to which we are about
to invite attention is of a truly phenome-
nal character, and one which could
scarcely be matched outside an insane
asylum. Mr.. Hampden, a London gen
tleman of mild demeanor and generally
harmless proclivities, some years ago
got the crochet into his head that the
earth was square, or, as he termed 1t,
was FLAT" Having much pocket money
on hand, he expended it in the publica-
ton of treatises in proof of his theory, if
such the hallucination may be called.
Pamphlets, essays, circulars, articles and
street advertisements were sent flying
through the air thicker than boys kites
in summer, and almost as thick as snow
flakes. There was not learned or SCI
entific society in England, Ireland, Scot
land, Wales, or in any of the channel
islands which was not favored with the
disquisitions of Mr.. Hampdcn in support
of his theory and defied to disprove it.
"The earth is fiat" stared every body in
the face in every hall, Westinghouse,
gallery and at every street corner; and
the gentle lunatic offered to stake $500
against like amount of any other per-
son in proof of the terrestrial shape men,
toned. The mailman was not a mere
braggart, like nearly every one of the
vendors of quack medicines, who offer
several hundred dollars if their nostrums
cannot cure all known and unknown dis
eases. He had the So 500 to put up, and
put it up he did, with a vengeance.
Zone Mr.. Wallace, a naturalist of some
local fame, accepted the challenge
Whether he did so to rid our British
| cousins of Mr.. Hampden and his adver-
| easements, or to pocket $500 at the eX
pense of lunatic, does not clearly ap
| pear. However, the money was found
on both sides, and 50 600 were placed il
the hands of gentleman who acted a:
both stakeholder and judge. The exper
| iments to decide the bet were made OF
six miles of the Bedford Level, and, as
need scarcely be said, the result was IL
favor of Mr.. Wallace. Mr.. Hampder
could not deny the palpable fact tina
there was distinct curvature between
the extreme leveling-rods which were
ascribing it to the rotundity of thu
earth, he stuck to its flatness" and de
clared that the curve arose out of thu
"natural dip of the line of vision,
whatever that may mean. He probabl.
meant that our sight, travelling from tn
eye to distant object, "dips," just a
the end of a long rod would dip. But
if this be his meaning, he forgets tina
sight does not go from the eye, and tina
a ray of light is not solid beam. how
ever much it may appear so in pictures
1t moves in direct line except unde
well-known and definite conditions.
Mr.. Wallace pocketed the $4,000, an
then commenced persecution which
probably would not re-endure for se'
eral times the amount If Mr.. Hampde
had been profuse of paper and ink
support of his . theory," he was doubl

The Spelling Fever.

Smith says this spelling-school fever
is getting to be an intolerable bore. On
going home to supper in hurry, one
evening lately, he found his wife sitting
in front of the parlor fire with a spelling
book in her hand and heard an indistinct
mumbling, in which he could occasion
ally distinguish: "C-o-m-p-l-a-c-e-n-t,
satisfied, hap p-y," etc.
as supper ready, my dear?" asked he.
"S-u-p-p-e-r," was all the answer he
could hear.
"Come, come, / must go uptown
shortly" he said.
SHORTLY" echoed the lady, NOV
ing toward the kitchen door, pausing in
the door to take one last look at Nc
Guffey.
"Mrs Smith, must be back up-street
in a few minutes, and must have my sup
per Immediately" yelled the now irate
husband.
"Lm-m-m-e-d-i-" but this was toe
much, and here the coalscuttle crashed
against the kitchen door just as the un
fortunate photographer lodged behind
and closed 1t, while Smith AYERS that he
heard something as she whirled through
the door that sounded like "c-o-a-l, coal
scout" and here the sound was los
amid the CHATTER of tin-pans, skillets, etc
