see the air of patience and resignation
these women put on as they talked of
the blue blood in their veins, and cited
the plebeian stock from which the Har-

been around, and seen something in
their lives, and allowed it was a pity if
they couldn't speak above a whisper

Imagination Power.

MANY persons arc sick merely from
the effect of imagination or habit. the
old woman, for example, who has been
bed-ridden for years with her rheumat-
les. She was left alone one summer
day at the farmhouse. She saw
mad bull tearing across the pasture in
the direction of the house, and feeling
that it was "neck or nothing she
bounced out of that bed in double-quick
time, barred both doors and never COM
planned of rheumatism afterward.
Many cases are given in the medical
journals of persons who have been Bit
ten by dogs and have afterward taken
to foaming at the mouth, shuddering at
the sight of water, and initiating a
dogs bark, imagining that these are
signs of hydrophobia, and have actual
ly died in convulsive agonies, the facts
being that mad dogs don't foam at the
mouth, never bark and can drink
water like a fish," So far from run
ming about in desperation as if hum
dred thousand dilapidated tin-pans
were tied to their caudal prolonga-
tons, really mad dogs are the quietest
individuals in the world, make no
noise, seem to want to be alone, keep
their mouths shut, the distinctive symp-
toms Of such madness being great rest
lessness, paving the face and eating
their own fresh objections. Mad dogs
do not run after people, but will snap
at any one who comes in their way, es-
pecially individuals of their own kind;
they seem to trot or run as if looking
at something straight ahead. Infinite
mischief is done in publishing cases of
persons becoming hydrophobic, one,
ten and even twenty years after the
last-remembered biting of dog, the
reporters of such tales not having taken
pains to inquire if there had not been a
later biting. Such monstrous absurd
tiles are well calculated to keep nerv-
Gus persons who have been once bitten
by dog in state of wearying UNI
easiness all their life long afterward.
If q person has been bitten by dog
supposed to he mad, the animal should
be put in quiet room and let alone,
only slipping in food and drink from
time to time; if really mad. death will
take place in a day or two. and If not
mad, there will be Il complete recovery.
Only one bite in twenty of dogs sup
posed to be mad is fatal.
A dog in New Jersey last year bit

The Morning Adventure OF a Somnam.
buliSt.

PEOPLE living along irving place had
a sensation yesterday morning at day
light. Abram Rossiter, medical stu
dent, living with his father at Irving
place and Eighteenth street, is SOM
nambulist. The peculiar feature of his
malady is that even when sound asleep
he recognizes the absence of the person
set to watch him, and directly he is left
alone slips away and does the most ex-
traordinary things. 1t is as if he had
two kinds of intelligence, and one that
operates normally when he is awake,
and another that directs his movements
when he is asleep, the characteristics of
which are cunning and slyness. Hap
pening to be left alone early yesterday
morning, and while still sleeping, he
arose and, clad only in a robe de null,
softly stole down the steps, passed
through the parlor, possessed himself
of piano cover and an umbrella,
opened the window, and, hanging the
bright-colored cover over the umbrella
SO that it fell almost to his bare feet, he
strobe down Irving place. Passing the
Westminster Hotel, the porter, who
was hosing off the pavement, turned
the stream of water toward the strange
object; but his hand, unsteadied BY
fright, could not direct the nozzle, so
he turned and fled. Meanwhile, the
sleep-walker continued his journey
toward Fourteenth street, reaching
which he carefully folded the piano
cover, lowered the umbrella, and,
wrapping the drapery of his gown about
him, passed quickly up Irving place to
Nineteenth street.
BY this time his family had been
aroused, and, alarmed by his absence,
his brother and his father, each bearing
a suit of clothes, started in search Of
the young man. The latter had turned
into Nineteenth street, where there are
great quantities of Belgian blocks piled
for the purpose of paving the street.
Abram gathered lot of these under
tree and made four regular piles of
them. On these he placed some boards,
and then spreading the umbrella again
placed it over his head, and, shrouding
himself with the piano cover, composed
himself to sleep. The noise he made
in piling the stones awoke several fami-
lies, and there was quite number of
astonished people gazing from out the
windows at the strange scene when Mr..
Rossiter, Sr., and the brother came up.
Abram was awakened at word, and
was much astonished to find himself in
the strange position. While piling the
stones he had cut his finger so Sc
verely that it bled profusely and was
quite badly hurt, but the pain did not
disturb his slumbers.-N y Herald.

Remarkable Story Of Cannibalism.

In 1869 Charles L. Smith left Garth
age, having received the appointment
Of American Consul to Russia, with
residence in city on the Amoor River,
in Siberia. He left in the summer, ac-
companied by his wife, whom he left
with relatives in Chicago. Arriving in
San Francisco, he learned that the last
of the trading boats had left for the
season. Being anxious to reach his
destination, as he intended engaging in
the fur business, he took passage on Il
ship bound for Hong Kong. China,
where he hoped to engage passage and
reach his destination quicker than by
waiting for the return Of the traders.
Arriving at Hong Kong, he became
acquainted with IA member of New
York firm. who offered him a chance to
engage in business. He would not en-
gage then, but pushed on as fast as
possible to his destination, where he ar
rived in the spring Of 1870. He re-
NAMED several months, and, not being
suited with the business or country, he
returned to Hong Kong and accepted
the offer before made to him.
Five men, including Smith, went on
a trading expedition into the interior of
the southern part of China, where they
were successful, amassing large for
tunes.
They returned to the coast on their
homeward journey and engaged Il
Chinese junk to take them to Hong
Kong. When far out from the MAIN
land the crew of the junk mutinied.
robbed their passengers, and placed
them on desert island, with neither
food nor drink. 1t was not long before
starvation stared the unfortunate men
in the face. For several days they had
subsisted on few berries they found
on the island. Those were gone. and
no ship had come to the rescue. When
at last they could stand hunger and
thirst no longer, they cast lots to see
who should die. The lot fell on Smith,
who, before being put to death, re-
quested that his companions should
never let his wife known of the manner
of his death if they were fortunate
enough to return to America. He was
then put to death and eaten by his COM
panions. A short time thereafter the
men were rescued by a passing ship and
came to America, to New York, where
they reported Smith dead, none at the
time but the members of the firm know
ing the manner of his death. Two
years ago gentleman who had been in
correspondence with Smith during his
lifetime, called on the New York firm
and demanded the particulars. At first
they refused, but afterward decided to
tell him, providing he would keep it
from Mrs. Smith. The promise has
been kept. Mrs. Smith died in Chicago
about two weeks ago, ignorant of the
manner of her husbands death. The
story comes to us direct, and from such
good authority that we are forced to
believe Carthage (M W Repmblt-
can.

A Bloody Fight With Cats.

SEVERAL mornings ago boy about
fifteen years old, a nephew of Mr.. Har-
rison's an inmate of his family, went
out to the barn to feed the horses.
When he entered the loft he discovered
two large cats lying on the straw asleep.
Boy like, he took up bundle of fodder
and, creeping up, struck both OF them
at one blow. There was something of
disappointment in the result. The
cats, instead of running away, sprang
at the boy with fury that startled him.
Having nothing with which to defend
hhHself he tumbled around, while the
seats ssqhealed, clawed and bit him I'M
mercifully. His cries did not bring as
sistance, and the boy sprang toward the
ladder leaning against the rafters, and
assembled to the roof of the house. The
cats followed him, and, despite his eff
forts to keep them away, bit and clawed
him frightfully. Realizing his ladder
folly, he jumped down on the hay. The
cats followed him. By this time he was
bleeding very freely, and his coat was
almost torn in threads. Selling one of
the cats by the hind legs, he attempted
to beat it to death against the wall, but
the animal doubled around and began
tearing his arm. Shaking it off, he ran
to the ladder leading down. The ami
mails followed him. Just as he reached
the ladder he discovered. a monkey

hesturp4ds deltthe foremost cat blow
besweSi *he Dyes and before it could
recover mashed its head. The other
animal still fought with fury. With a
heavy blow the boy stretched out the
remaining cat, and beat out its brains.
Catching them by the tails he marched
to the house to give an account Of his
battle.--Littke Rock (44rA. Gazette.
