A Big DRINK.-An Indanian went into
Chicago saloon, and asked for "a gin cocktail
with some strength into it, The barkeeper
made mixture of alcohol, pepper sauce, ab-
sinthe, lines, and pain killer. "The 1ndianian
drank it," says the Chicago Tribune, "and
about quart of tears came to his eyes, his
mouth contracted to about the size of safe
key hole, and when he had sufficiently mas.
tered his emotion to speak, he said: How
much's that? Fifteen cents responded the
barkeeper. The customer put down quar-
ter and said, "Keep the change-have some
thing YOURSELF" then, wringing the barkeep-

TREATMENT OF MADMEN IN FRANCE.

Madmen in France are vastly more fero.
cious than elsewhere, or there are graver faults
in the. treatment and cure of them. 1t is not
long since ghastly tale was told of mani
&C standing siege in his house againsta whole
company Of gendarmes and regiment of the
line, several of whom be killed. They set
fire to the thatch and burned him to death.
A pendant to this story comes from Saint
Omer, in the Pas de Calais. A dangerous lu-
natic, named Lepreter, was being taken to the
asylum by the police; he escaped and plunged
into the river. They caught him and entered
into house near by to dry bis clothes:
Thence he escaped again, climbed a tree, and
thus reached the Lavoir Sainte Marie, which
has tower forty or fifty feet high. To this
point Lepretre made his way. When they
tried to follow him he tore to pieces chin
ney, and threatened the gendarmerie with
bricks. They sent for the Gremen, who poured
the heaviest streams of their hose upon the
tower, to no effect. Night came on, and Le-
petre was left in peace, under guard. Next
day his fury was as wild as ever, and at the
least movement of those below shower of
bricks whizzed about. It was resolved to
leave him, in the hope that cold and hunger
would produce their result. All the country
side had gathered to witness this extraordina-
ry blockade. Three days passed without any
change. They offered him food in which a
strong narcotic had been mixed. He took it
without effect. A gallant trumpeter of the
Eighth Regiment tried to storm the tower.
He fixed ladder inside and mounted. As
fast as they could be thrown, the bricks came
'showering on him. He was knocked sense.
less from the ladder and carried of. The
sub-prefect demonstrated. and the general gave
his word that no harm should be done to him
if lie would give way. In vain. Then, with
a cruel impatience one fails to understand
seeing the poor fellow could do no harm up
there. and sooner or later must yield-a squad
of soldiers we're ordered up to fire. One ball
struck him on the shoulder and one on the
head-those from the chassepot; on the hand
and the knee he was wounded by revolver
bullets. simultaneously an attack went on
by escalade: Lepretre lost none of his cour-
age or his passion Though thus badly hurt,
he smashed up the balustrades to find new
weapons But at length his footing gave way
in the chimney, and he fell headlong to the
ground floor. They seized him ultimately,
and carried him to the asylum.

HOSPITALITY IN TExAs.-In no city in
the United States is the travel.stained, weary
traveller taken as good care Of as hAis in a
San Antonio hotel. The manners and GUS
toms of the guest are carefully studied. A
Young man from the frontier, stopping at one
of our hotels, told the clerk the other evening
that he was going to be out late. "Just wait a
minute" replied the accommodating clerk,
and he rushed off, reappeared with large en-
velope, which he placed in the guests breast,
pock ket, with the remark: THAT is bond for
YOUR appearance before the Recorder, proper
" signed. As soon as you are arrested for
being drunk and disorderly, just give the
bond to the policeman, mehtion my name to
him, and he will bring you home in hack.

Herald
s@ The New York Sun says one of the re-
suits of the Centennial Exposition is that
country merchants find great difficulty in col
lecting the debts due them. The money that
should have gone to pay store accounts has
been spent in railroad fares and hotel bills,
and now the ingenious rustics who have seen
the great show have nothing left. Some even
mortgaged their farms and furniture to raise
money for the trip, and must wait for future
crops and extrication. At least this is the
story told in commercial circles in New York.
b@ A merchant seeking to badger one
legged son of Erin, said to him, 81 say, Pat,
with all your talk about the Virgin Mother
do not believe she was any better than my
mother?" "That may be-" was the prompt
reply, "but I tell ye there is mig ghty differ
ence in the character of their sons"
