"Pull.Back, Incident.

A subscriber in the country sends us
a graphic account of a thrilling but lu-
dicrous incident that happened up in his
neighborhood last week. A fashiona-
Bile city girl came out to visit his sisters.
She wore a jaunty hat, a coquetish
spit-curl, and the pull-backedest sort of
a pull-backess. On Thursday his two
sisters and the city girl meandered out
the shady lane to drink in the beauties
of the scenery and talk about the beaux.
Presentlya loud believing was heard,
and a mad bull was seen paving the
earth at the other end of the lane, and
coming toward the ladies. The u
try girls, admonishing their friend to
"run quick, invent over a four rail fence
into an adjoining field with an agility
if not the grace, of a circus actor. The
city damsel attempted to "run quick"
but il was a mournful failure. She was
only five yards from the fence, but the
longest step she could achieve was not
over six inches, and her frantic efforts
to escape the impending danger were
painful to witness. The bull was COM
ING nearer, with mischief in his eye and
his tail switching ominously. For a
minute or two the situation was such as
would have filed the soul of a newspa-
per reporter with joy. But the fashion,

An Expectant Bride Finds Her Intend
ed Husband n Mailman.

The Vallejo (Cal.) Chronicle of Sep
TENDER 29 says: Deputy Sheriff Brown,
of Napa, passed through Vallejo this
morning on his way to Stockton, with
an insane man whose action on the cars
and at the South Vallejo ~boat-landing
attracted a great deal of attention. His
hands were ~shackled, and a strong
leather strap prevented him from using
his arms. He talked necessarily, gen
orally repeating a few words in the most
appealing manner, and at the same time
rafting his shackes. He would shake
his hands up and down and say, why
do | wear these chains? Why these
chains ?n Then turning to a by-stand-
er, he would appeal to him personally,
with the most touching emphasis,
Tell me why | wear these chains +?
They say it is to keep up the electric
circulation. Now | ask you, as an in
telligent man, to tell me, in the name of
God, whether that can be SOP" Re-
ceiving no answer, he would rattle his
shackles again and renew the piteous
refrain, "Why these chains? Why
these chains? Why these chains?"
The mar appeared to be very intelli-
gent, except that he was not in his
right mind. He struggled hard to re-
lease himself, but could not break his
bonds, and the Deputy Sheriff and an
other person held him fast, n on each
side. From Mr.. Brown we learn that
it is a very sad, and, we might add, a
romantic case. His name is Joseph
Bruder, and he is a native of Germany,
but he has lived in this country since he
was four years old. His father and
family are now living in Pennsylvania,
and young Bruder has resided in Napa
only since last March. He was engaged
to a young lady in the East, and recent
" wrote her to come out to California,
and they would be married. She came
and met him in San Francisco, but his
actions soon convinced her that he was
insane. The shock to the lady, on dis
covering that her lover and betrothed
was a maniac, can be imagined, but
would be hard t. describe.
Bruder had his examination before
Judge Stoney Tuesday and was COM
mitted to an asylum. At times he is
terribly violent, and it would take sew
eral strong men to hold him. He is a
Roman Catholic, and religion is his
theme in most of his rawlings. The only
person who can control him is Father
Dyer, the priest at Napa, who exercises
a wonderful power over him. Even in
his most violent moments, if the priest
speaks TO him, he will be quiet, and
hold up his hands to receive the shackles.

Baby's Weight.

A doctor of France has invented a
machine by which an over-anxious
mother may assure herself from day to
day, or even from hour to hour, that
the baby is doing satisfactorily as re-
CARDS its increase of weight. 1t consists
of an ordinary cradle, to suit the taste,
fitted with a balance underneath which
will tell the exact weight of the cradle
and its contents, without any need of
disturbing the child. 1t is said that after
two complete days of life a child weighs
4 ounces less than at birth. When a
week old, it will be the same weight as
at birth. From seven days to five
months the average increase should be
three-quarters of an daily. At B
months the weight should be double
that at birth. At 16 months the weight
should be double that at 3 months. OF
course, infants vary from time to time,
and each individual has a rule of its
own; the great point is that growth
ought to be constant.
