Mehemet Ali Dead.

Mehemet Ali has lived the life and
has come close to dying the death of a
veritable hero of Medieval romance.
By birth he was a Prussian, by descent
a Frenchman, by doptiOn-having
forsworn the cross and worshipped
Mamoud-he was Turk. Julian De-
troy was the son of staff trumpeter of
the Nicholas Regiment of Cuirassiers
of Brandenburgh. Concerning his
mother history is silent; nor does his
tory say whether he was born while the
famous corps at the head of which his
father trumpeted was in the field, in
camp or in barracks in some quaint old
German town. For the sake of Mdme.
Detroy's comfort let US hope the last,
and history favors the possibility since
it was in the hemispherical city of Mag
deburg that Julius Detroy first dawned
upon the public as a man, that is to say
as a boy of affairs; in other words he
was bound apprentice to be made a
merchant. Bondage in the chains of
commerce was not at all to his liking,
and by way of giving himself fresh
start in life he incontinently ran away
He ran to Rostock, and there he
skipped aboard Mecklenburg brig as
cabin boy. The brig worked its way
out of the Baltic, swung through the
Cattegat and Skager Rack into the
North Sea, down by the British Chan
mel, across the Bay of Biscay to the
Straits, and 50 along the Mediterrane-
an, the Kgean and the Sea of Marmora
to the Golden Horn. Detroy found lit
tie to admire, much to condemn in
practical seamanship, and scarcely had
the cable run out when he pumped
overheard and struck out for shore. A
passing caique picked him up; and the
owner of this caique was Ali Pasha,
then a rising man at the Porte, and
destined to occupy for many years q
controlling influence in its affairs. The
fortune of Detroy was made. Ali
Pasha took great fancy to him, and
when, year later, "on conviction"
he declared that There was but one
God and Mahomet was his Prophet"
the venerable Pasha wept tears of ioy
and adopted him as his son. Detroy

Crazed by the Use Of Arsenic.

ABOUT year or so ago young lady
of sunny temperament and pleasant
features began to use to excess prepa-
rations for bleaching her hair to the
fashionable golden tinge, and at the
same time became a slave to that beau
tifier of the complexion and the form
the deceptive poison, arsenic. Her
features before, though not beautiful,
were at least good. People soon re-
marked her changed appearance for
the better. Her complexion was rosy
and blooming; her hair soft, silky and
of a beautiful tinge; her form plumper
than it had been, and her skin smooth
and white. But her self-congratulation
did not last long. Headaches soon fol
lowed, growing more and more violent
every day; but still she kept on using
the abominable stuff which has been
the ruin of so many. OF late her suf-
ferings have been almost intolerable.
The blessing of sleep has not been
hers. Her head was a very whirl of
torture night and day. Her mind grew
feebler and feebler, her thoughts wan
dered, her intellect was lost, and to-
day, a girl of twenty years, she is con-
fined in a cell in that prison of the liv-
ing dead, Stockton, a maniac.-S0cr0-
