A LUNATIC ON THE RAMPAGE IN A
PULLMAN CAR.-There was desperate
and exciting affray on board an eastern
bound Pullman near Evansville, Ind,
early the other morning. One of the
passengers, a large, powerful man, suf-
fering from a sudden attack of insanity,
restlessly paced the aisle, and an at
tempt of the porter to quiet him brought
on a bloody fight in which the latter re-
ceived some severe wounds from
bOwie-knife. Then the maniac attack
ed the conductor and dealt him several
staggering blows after trying to shoot
him. Seeing the other train hands
coming to the rescue, the crazy man
next rushed into the car drawing-rOom
and locked the door, and shortly after
he made his exit through the glass win
dow of the outer door and off the train
into the darkness. Search was then
made for his wife, who was also miss
ing. AS she had been noticed at the
beginning of the combat, it was certain
that she, too, had leaped from the front
platform, probably in fright. That af-
ternoOn the lunatic was picked up quiet
and tractable along with his wife by
another train and both forwarded to
their destination.

the way to win the position 1 had come
to ask. made up my mind to address
the President in new way, and thus
add to the hold already had upon him.
So, when my time came, stepped up
to Mr.. L. and said: Sir, have seen
the annoyance to which you are sub
jected by so many and often-repeated
requests for innumerable positions, etc.
Now if you will permit me to shake
hands, 1 will try and smother my desire
for certain position which had come
to ask from yeu.' Mr.. L. jumped up,
and grasping my hand said /: 'Sir, you
are one man in thousand. I am dOub-
ly indebted to you. You have been the
means of conveying to those Spanish
officers that the President of the United
States is very handsome man, and
then you do not ask an office. Butt he
added, hurry home. You may repent.'n

st. Nicholas for June is as bright as
the June sunshine, and full of June's
breeziness and cheer. The frontispiece
is fine picture of ga June Morning."
and at the close of the number Prof.
Proctor shows "The Stars in June,"
while between these two we find many
of the delightful scenes with which ev-
cry June day is filed. There is a dainty
picture on the page of a little girl in
gown and sun-bOnnet, demurely read
ing her fortune from the daisy leaves
and on another, barefoot boy is en-
joying gay summer frolics with frisky
colt. "The Green House with Gold
Nails'-so beautifully portrayed-is one
of June's special treasures. "Wild Mice"
begin their June-time travels along
their numberless little paths through
the fields, peeping out at us here and
there in Mr.. RiOrdau's exquisite pic
lures; the nests in which some of our
common birds spend this glorious month
are described by Prof Brooks and the
June Crosses" bloom in Edgar Fawcett's
pretty verses.

About Advertising.

After twSnty-one years connection
with the newspaper business, we
think we know something about the
mode of advertising best calculated
to pay the advertiser.
Some men think that if they have
really good article it is no use to ad-
vertise, This is a grave mistake.
When in Cincinnati, at the National
LUn,~n.i =, We say a kind of cot used
at the crowded hotels, which was a
remarkable article for convenience.
We desired to get one, and applied
to all furniture dealers in jackson,
but they knew nothing about it.
We examined the advertisements in
the Cincinnati papers, but could get
no light on the subject. Then we
wrote to the proprietor of the hotel,
and finally found the manufacturers,
and got one. Now, if these parties
had advertised, their sales would have
been immense.
We accidently discovered, last win
ter, in one of the stores, a new kind
of lamp. 1t is the finest thing we
ever saws simple, has no chimney,
and is very nearly equal to a gas jet.
We could not find this lamp advers
tised at any place. We got two Of
them, and would not part with them
for any reasonable price. They are
net advertised, and we see nearly ev.
erybody using the old, dirty, danger.
Gus lamps.
There is another kind of advertisers
who make Il great spread over worth
less articles. They make it pay for
time, but as soon as their goods IT
tested they play out.
Now let us speak of another kind
of advertiser. As We have already
indicated, a good article to be success
full must be advertised. a poor arti'
Gle well advertised will succeed for ;
short time only; but take a meritori'
Gus article, and you cannot expenC
too much money in advertising it

A RrufAI Hunhnnd.

Yesterday evening, about o'clock,
Officers Alkire and Edwards saw
little boy running down Elm street,
crying rs though he was In great dis
tress. The officers hailed him, and
learned that his father, a shoemaker,
who lives just above the Methodist
Tabernacle, being drunk, had abused
his mother, who was sick In bed, in
most shameful manner, by cursing
and frightening her In various ways.
The police went to the house, but
found that their man was absent.
Soon, however. the drunken husband
was seen staggering from an up street
saloon. Coming In the house, he de.
manded Of the officers what they
wanted, and began to conduct h imself
In heliigerent manner, picking up a
large knife lying on a table near by,
and making lunge at Alkire, who
caught him and threw him ON the
ground, where Officer Edwards
wrenched the knife from his hand.
They carried him off TO the calaboose,
and this morning he will be brought
before his honor, Recorder Peak, for q
settlement,
