MCDERMoTT's goat was very fond of
almost anything. McDermott had own
ed him only week when he had eaten
up everything chcwable. He would
tackle anything, from the baby's rattle
down to a box of hair pins. He had n
very strong stomach, rs was evinced
when he swallowed McDermotts socks.
He was of a very rare species, and when
he chewed up the New York Sun it was
thought the lye would kill him, but it
didn't. On Friday McDermott's pocket
book containing twenty dollars in bills
and about (S2) worth of nickels were
missing. Then Mac got mad. The
goat had cost ($20), but he coudn't afford
to lose that money, and he went for that
goats life. He carved the goat up into
small pieces. He found two old shoes, a
big chunk of coal, tin whistle, three
corks, an old almanac, yard and half
of muslin, and innumerable other small
things but no pocket book aud no mon
ey. Then Mac was madder still. To
lose his money was bad enough, but to
lose both money and goat was worse yet
When it was found ont that little Harry
had poked that pocket book up the stove
pipe, little Harry was taken out into the
wood shed and about four yards of kin,
ding wood was split on his back part

The HIsTORIC DANUBE. - The river
Danube has figured very largely in his
tory for 1000 years, and it again becomes
the object to which the eyes of the world
have turned. 1t furnished highway for
the Turks in the sixteenth and l7th cen %
turies to penetrate Europe as far rs Vien-
na, and in the days OK the Crusades il be-
came an outlet for the religious enthusi-
asm of Europe to flow to the Holy Land.
The Danube, from its source in Baden to
the Black Sea, is l ,S20 miles long, and,
with its tributaries, drains 300, 900 square
miles. 1t passes through Bavaria, Aus
tria, Hungary, forms the boundary be-
tween Hungary and Servia TO the Car
pathian Mountains, where it separates
Roumania and Bulgaria, and passes into
the Black Sea through several mouths,
the principal one being that of Suina.
The Danube is navigable for steamers as
far as Ulm in Bavaria. At Nicopolis, in
the 14th century, 100, 900 Christians were
driven by the Turks into :he Danube f,
and in the 18th century 40, 600 Turks were
slain on its shores at the siege of Belgrade.

Not long ago, on the Rue d Algerie,
Paris, stern parent was about to correct
his daughter up in fourth story room
whereupon his offspring sprang off the
window-sll and alighted on washer
woman who was passing along the side
walk. The aundress, as the elegiac bard:
would say, climbed the golden clothe.
pole, but the daughter escaped unhurt
The father, NJ. Simonnnet, has been con
demned TO year and days mprison-
meut, which recalls the fact that a similar
case once came up before the Persian
Courts, r. rooier having rolled from q
building he was repairing, and fallen with
fatal impact upon a hapless passer-by.
As the next of kin OF this Dasser clamored
for blood, or damages, the magistrate
ruled that to avenge the killing the nearest
relative should fall from off the roof upon
the roOfer stationed below. The offer
however, was not accepted.

ToUCHY PERsONs.-Ther are people
yes, many people-always looking ont

daily intercourse of the family without
finding that some ofense is designed. -
They are as touchy as hair triggers. II
they meet an acquaintance who happens
TO be pre-occupied with business, they
attribute his abstraction in some mode
personal to themselves, and take umbrage
accordingly. They lay on others the
fault Of their irritabiity. Indigestion
makes them see impeltinonce in every
one they come iii contact with. Innocent
persons, who never dreamed of giving Of
Tense are astonished to find some unfor-
tunate word or momentary taciturnity
mistaken for an insult. To say the least,
the habit is unfortunate. 1t is far wiser
to take the more charitable view of our
fellow beings, and not suppose that a
slight was intended unless the neglect was
open and direct. After all. too, life takes
hues in great degree from the color of
our minds. If we are frank and generous
the world treats us kindly; if on the con
trary, we are suspicious, men learn TO be
cold and cautious to us. Let person get
the reputation of being "touchy" and
everybody is under restraint, and in this
way the chances Of an imaginary offence
are vastly increased.

FICTIONS OF HISTORY.

One OF the bits Of history most famil-
iar to Americans is Jsckson's battle of
New Orleans, where, from behind his
breastworks of cotton bales "a material
which the enemy's cannon could not
PIERCE, he repulsed with great slaughter
Packenham's veterans, fresh from their
European victories. The story Of the
rampant of cotton, "a related in both Eng
lish and American histories, is, however,
purely apochryphal. Its origin seems to
be the fact that, many days before the
battle of January Sth,. (for Jackson's
troops had been working steadily at the
intrehchments since Christmas), about
fifty bales of cotton were taken from a
neighboring fiat boat and thrown into n
line of earthworks to increase its bulk.
A bout week before the assault, in a pre-
limnary skirmish, as Walker tells us in
his jackson and New Orleans" the
enemies balls striking one OF these bales
knocked it out of the mound, set fire to
the cotton and sent it flying about to the
great danger of the ammunition. All the
bales were consequently removed. "At-
ter this" continues the account, "no
cotton bales were ever used in the breast
work. The mound was composed entirely
of earth dug from the canal and the field
in the rear. The experiment Of using
cotton and other articles in raising the
embankmcnt had been discarded.
Again, for eighteen years after this bat
tie it was gospel with us that the British
officers at dawn "promsed their troops
plentiful dinner in New Orleans, and gave
them booty and beauty as the parole
and countersign Of the day" In 1923,
General Lamberth and four other British
officers, who had been engaged in the
reckless expedition, denied this story,
which accordingly has measureably pass
ed out Of history. The absurd fiction of
booty and beauty y waschword reap
pears, however, at intervals in our own
civil war, ascribed to General Beauregnrd
and other Confederate officers.
Our ancestors, also, used to enjoy the
story of Putnam's S exploit Mt Horseneck,
where be escaped from party of Tyron's
troopers by forcing his horse down fight
Of seventy stone steps (another account
swcls them to hundred) that formed
the stairway by which the villagers as
cended to the church on the brow of the
hill. This is the narrative in Peters
History of Connecticut" book which
Dwight calls "mass of folly and false
hood" The story Of the stairway is sheer
fabrication, founded on the fact that COM
mon stones here and there aided the vii
layers to ascend the hill; yet there exists
pictures OF Putnam charging down II long
tier OF steps rs we'll defined and regular
as those of the Capitol at Washington,
while the discomfted Dragons at the top
pour in Il volley that does not harm him.
A partial parallel to this eXaggeration
may be found in the current descriptions
of "Sheridan's Ride" ut Winchester,
solid exploit, brilliantly touched up in
Buchanan Read s verse, concerning which
last the great cavalry General is snid to
have jocosey remarked that " if the bard
had seen the horse he never would have
written the poem. ."-Got0Ty.

FANCIEs OF THE INSANE.

" Yes, sir, IN ;he light of the world"
said hatchet faced man in the city hos
pital for the insane on Wards Island,
New York and he looked at the Super
intendent, Mr.. A. Il. Mcdonald, seem
ingly expecting some acknowledgment OF
the truth of his assertion.
Getting from the doctor nod of assent
the patient continued You know,
doctor, that | have been skinned alive
here-burned alive-scalded alive. My
head has been screwed off and screwed
on again"
" Why did they take your head off,"
the doctor inquired.
ION, you know, doctor you know
well enough" the patient answered re-
proachiully. You know that my head
Is the moon and my skin is the stars
Whore would you get your light at night,
! should like to know, if it wasn't for me
Doesn't my blood supply light for all the
streetlamps in that big city over thore ?''
As he said this no waved his hand toward
the opposite shore where the thousands of
little gas jets glimmered through the
darkness.
" Once my head was as big as our friend,
the DOCTORS here. Now SEQ how thin it
is" And as he stroked his poor, shrunk
en- cheeks, his head dropped upon his
breast, his jaws dropped and he looked
unutterably sad.
" Yes, but" sad the doctor, trying tc
rally his patient, 4" if your skin is all taken
of and your bones are taken out, how i
it that anything is left of you ?"
The patient did not raise his eyes from
the floor. AS the doctor was moving
away the poor fellow mumbled in answer
that he supposed his body was repaired as
fast as it was destroyed.
"That's a curious case" said tho doc
tor " it's mixture of mania and mel.
uncholia."
A stout-built, excessively nervous man
with black hair and beard, was next vis-
tied. He fancies that he has an electric
battery in him, and that his enemies hold
the wires and use them TO draw away his
thoughts.
"They came again last night, DOCTOR
said the patient. "They came and took
my lungs OUT"
Another fellow says he has doctor in
his body who moves about to physic and
torture him.
Can you feel him to-day" inquired
the doctor.
son, yes" was the reply, "I can feel
his shoulder pressing here" and he put
his hand to his left breast.
Then where's his head ?" asked the
doctor.
The patient felt all over his body and
about his throat and then shook his head.
saying, " | don't know where his head il
to-day"
A very remarkable patient is an elderly
man, an xcoIlege professor, who is hard
nj work on translation of Horace with
copious foot notes. He talks so learned
ly and logically, that you wonder whether
he has not been confined by mistake
But he presently tells you confdcntially
that Charles Dickens wrote his Bleak
House" for the sole purpose of injurine
him, and if you should say anything about
poison, he will Immediately tell you that
his whole system has been ruined by being
inocuated with poison contained in the
lead Of the water-pipes. He admits that
he is insane, bat says that he is carefully
studying his case in connection with the
lead poisoning theory, and has hope Of
getting the poison out of his system.

In Lee county, Texas, Courts are too
slow to suit the people, who don't like the
quib5les of the lawyers. There is a per-
manent Vigilance Committee there, and
in the last two years this self-constituted
committee of guardianship have helped
fourteen people out of the world by rope
or shot. Some Of these were taken out
OF jail, others were caught at their homes
and despatched by whichever process was
the safest and surost. The last reported
act of the Vigilantes was to take four
young men from dancing party to death
There was dance and house full or
guests of both sexes. Some masked men
entered the house of revelry, picked out
four Coung men and led them away from
their partners. They knew very well
what was coming and when being escort
ed out they invited the girls with whom
they had been dancing to come along and
SEQ them hanged. The report does not
state whether or not the girls accepted the
i''''""O', pu' III Cilc SraH VI tho morn
ing, when the dance was done, the dis
persing party saw the spectacle of four of
their late friends and companions hanging
to an oak limb, about two hundred yards
from their late scene of revelry. These
things are so common in Gdding's, Lee
county, that the thnned-out party went
on with the dance while some Of the guests
were being hanged in sight of the house.
