An Insane MOney.Makcr.

The New York correspondent of the
Troy Times writes of insanity, and says:
l may here refer to the death of an ac-
quaintancc, which occurred at Blooming
dale Asylum. He was a man of slender
build, but mental disease had reduced
him to extreme emaciation. He had not
lived much more than forty years and yet
he was the image of idiotic old age Such
was the last scene in the life of one who
was once highly gifted and emincntly sue
cessful. When first l knew him he was a
fne-built young man, with brilliant
countenance and easy manner. He hired
loft in warehouse and began trade on
a capital which could not have exceeded
$500. But from that beginning sprang
one of the greatest houses in the city His
course was one of wonderful success, but
it taxed his system beyond its strength.
He was so excited that he could not sleep.
He became delirious on the subject of max
ingmoney. It was the sole theme of his con-
versatiOn, and at last it was feared that
this talk was but a form of insanity. He
would call on his friends to show them
How to make money" And this with
other vagaries compelled his friends to
place him in the asylum. Here he be-
came lunatic money maker. He would
spend the day in calculation and at night
tell how many millions he had made. at
last his brain wore out and he sank into
idiOcy, which only terminated with his
life. The concern which he built up is
one of great wealth, and he left his efamily
half million, but it was small price
for which to sell his reason

Matched.

: A West Washington street man went
home from a days mcandcring down
town, as usual, the other night, and was
met at the door by his wife with the Gus
tomary kiss. Thinking what a nice,
blessed little body she was he hung his
hat on a nail, and was about to return to
her side, when he behold that a great
change had come over the spirit of her
dreams. She looked as one o.whom had
come revelation, while her face and atti-
tudc gave evidence that a great gulf had
suddenly become fixed between them as
man and wife.
"Why, wha-what's the mattcr?' he
asked misgivingly. 49,.
"John Henderson, said Sic, "didn't
you tell me you would give up smok-
ing if I'd go without new bonnet this

The Eye.

The eye shows character. The eyes of
great warriors have almost always been
gray, their brows lowering like thunder
clouds. Inventors have large eyes, very
full. Philosophers the most illustrious
have had large and deep-set eyes. The
poets all have large, full eyes, and musi-
clans eyes are large and lustrous.
Button considers that the most beautiful
have seen black and blue eyes that were
far from beautiful. Byron says the ga
Zelle will weep at the sound of music. The
gazelle's eyes have been called the most
beautiful in the world, and the greatest
compliment all Arab can pay his mistress
is to compare her eyes to a gazelle's. The
power of the eye was we'll illustrated in
Robert Burns. He was taken to Edin-
burgh very much as Samson was taken to
the temple-to amuse the Philistines. He
was brought to the palace where the great
men of Scotland were to be entertained,
and was put in a back room until the time
should come when they were ready for
him. When they were, he was brought in,
and, having measured the company with
his wonderful eyes, he recited his immortal
poem, Is there, for honest poverty ?"
Carlyle says that when he finished the no.
bles and gentlemen covered and shrunk
before his eyes. I think his words had as
much to do with ii as his. eyes. Henry
Clay's eyes were big gray ones, that
looked black when he was excited. Web.
ster's eyes were a lustrous black and were
like Gagged lions. Carlyle compares them
to great cathedral all lighted up. Cleo

patra had black eyes. Mary Queen OF
Scots had liquid gray eyes. Dark eyes
show power, light eyes gcntleness and
gray eyes sweetness. There is great mag
netic power in the eyes Of several OF the
lower animals. The lions, the tigers and
the serpent's eyes are all magnetic. ltis
we'll known that the serpent will charm
birds that are flying above it, until in great
circles they will sweep down to the de-
struction which awaits them. A friend of
mine, a doctor, was one day walking in
the field, when he saw an adder lying on
a rock. He drew near to examine it and
presently looked at its eyes. He was at
tractcd by their great beauty and involun-
tarily stepped forward two or three steps
Beautiful light flowed from them and
seemed to battle the very coils of the ser
pcnt. Gradually he drew closer until,
just as he was almost within the reptiles
reach, he fell, feeling, as he said aftcrward,
as though he had been struck by stone.
When he became conscious his head was
in a friends lap. His first words were:
" Who struck me?" No one struck you,
doctor. saw you were charmed by the
snake and struck it with a stone" He
had struck the snake and the doctor had
felt the blow.-H0me Journal

Curious Death from HydrOphObia.

The death from hydrophobia which oc-
CURED in Brooklyn last week is in some
respects noteworthy. The victim was a
large, robust man, Of temperate habits.
The dog that bit him showed no symptoms
Of disease, and is still alive, apparently in
perfect Health. The wound was inflicted
accidentally when the man and dog were
at play; it healed kindly, and no marks
were left. The patient however continued
anxious and morbid. He consulted u
physician, and was assured that there was
no danger. Still he lived in constant
dread of hydrophobia, passing slceplcss
nights, and often subjecting himself to va
rious tests in fear of discovering traces of
disease. Finally, on the 18th of June,
eight weeks after the bite, the first symp-
toms of hydrophobia were manifested.
Spasms supcrvened, and the patient died
in great agony. The case is anomalous,
but not without parallel. Just about a
year ago one Mccormick died in New
York city under much the same circum-
stances. All that seems to be established
in regard to hydrophobia docs not conflict
with the developments just noticed. The
prime condition of the disease is, that the
animal communicating the virus should
be excited, which has been the case with
all healthy dogs whose bites have proved
fatal.-Chicdg0 Tribune, June rs.

The American Berry.

Considering what noble berry it is, the
origin of the strawberry is obscure. 1t is
not mentioned in Holy Writ nor in the
works of the early classic writers. Ju-
vcnal is the only one of the Latin poets
that we remember to have spoken of it,
and he treats it as an emblem of wealth in
that more than Chcstcrteldan lesson of
politcness wherein he says that boy who
was not respectful to old age deserved to
be killed, even though he had plurd doml
ffug0, which is Interpreted to mean lots
of Strawberries at home. But cOmmenta-
tors arc in doubt about this, and it is gen
orally believed that the strawberry, as it
exists in modern times, was unknown to
the Greeks and the Romans. Indeed, we
arc prepared to affirm and to prove that
Christopher Columbus discovered the
strawberry when he discovered America
or that he discovered America when he
discovered the strawberry. Either event
is SO important that the con JUNCTION of the
two has something in it of the stVpcndouS.
Columbus, however, derives his chief
glory from the continent, not the berry,
and the millions of people that are now
dcvouring it never offer to his memory
the tribute of grateful aspiration. Yes,
the strawberry has the advantage over
Carl Schurz, Queen Victoria, the En-
peror of China and many others of being
a native of America Columbus found it
first in a low state OF development in San
to Domingo. Ponce de Leon, in
his vain search for the fountain of
youth, felt consolcd by the first straw
berry that melted in his mouth in
Florida. Dc Soto ordered splendid
religious service after his first bowlful of
strawberries on the bank of the Mississippi
pi, a picture of which grand event atlorns
the rotunda of the Capitol at Washington.
But to CorteZ, who found the fruit in its
richest development in Mexico, it was II
pride and a delight that consolcd him and
rewarded him for all his trials and tolls
In his own estimation it was the chief
glory of his conquest All over America,
North and South, the strawberry was
found, as it still is; but it has been SO
gloriticd and mayniticd by modern civil
cation and republican institutions that
Columbus and his contemporaries would
not recognize it. As it grows all over
America it develops to ripcncss and per
lection in successive days in successive
degrees of latitude. This circumstance
furnished Nathaniel Hawthorne with an
idea for a romance called "Thc Straw
berry Pilgrim" which unfortunately he
did not live to write. The dcvotcc was to
start from Chile in January, and advance
northward with the ripcning strawberries.
Marching and fcasting and rejoicing, with
the North Star rs his guide by night, he
was to go on for months, and perish at
last at the end of the crop i'll the Arctic
regions in a vain attempt to find the Polar
strawberry. But he was to die happy in
the consciousness that he had had the un-
precedentcd enjoyment OF more than half
a year of the divincst of earthly fruits, and
in the hope of finding an eternity of ii be.
