DONALDSONVILLE, LA, SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 1876
Unparalleled Self. Punishment.

The Ouachita Telegraph Of the 2lst
ultimo relates the following:
w. Dempsey, native of Ireland,
aged about % years, who has been
recently employed in repairing levees,
presents o-day the most extraordin-
ary instance of self-punishment on
record. He is hopelessly blind and
the affection is the work of his own
hands. Dempsey was in Monroe last
week, after having completed his job
on the levee, and INDUCED freely in
drink. He left town Saturday or
Sunday, and strayed of. into the
woods. He was found in rear Of
Judge Bakers place, Wednesday,
with both eyes out. Dempsey tells
us that he thought there was pun
ishment demanded of him for his sins
that there was a struggle for his
soul, and it was required Of him to
destroy his eyes. His statement is
that he thereupon went to work to
pull out his eyes, as penance for his
sins. An examination by Drs. MUIR
ply and Ably shows that while the
eye-balls arc not torn out, both are
badly crushed and the sense of sight
totally destroyed. We asked Demp-
sey If the attempt gave him pain. He
replied that when he was pulling at
his right eye, he felt some pain. AL
thoughsperfectly sober when we saw
him, and fully conscious Of his con-
dition, he was apparently impressed
with the idea that he had done right
in robbing himself Of sight. He talked
lntelllgently, appreciated his afflic-
ton, but expressed no sorrow.
A somewhat similar occurrence took
place in the parish Of Terrebonne
about three years since. A schoo!
teacher of more than ordinary intel
ligence and education---one Philbrook,
a native of Massachusetts, IS or 40
years of .age-became imbued with
the idea that it was necessary for him
to int1ict upon himself revolving
bodily mutilation to secure admission
to the Kingdom of Heaven after
death. He accomplished the deed
and gloried in the belief that the sal
vation OF his soul was secured. Upon
all other save religious subjects he
appeared perfectly sane. He was
strictly temperate and moral in his
habits, greatly respected by all who
knew him, and was an excellent
school teacher. -..e+--

TThe 4th Of Jelly celebration At
West Baden proved rather disastrous.
While firing the cannon it bursted and
small pieces Of it were hurled among the
crowd promiscuously. One man by the
name of Talbsrt, who stood some two
hundred yards from where the cannon
was being fred, was hit with fragment
and instantly killed. No one else was
injured.

Just ow TO tickle the epicurean palate.
From the table to the Floral hall the

He is equiponderant with Sniglefritz,
the great violipist. He caused the ca
pillary substance on the fiddle bow to
make friction on the feline intestines OF
the fiddle. which produced vibrations in
the air: the consequence was, very har-
monious strains of music, which were
conveyed to the tympanum of the ear
