comes Crazy Over Religion.
From the Chicago Tribune

John W. Carroll, a reputable citizer
residing near Oil City, attended the
session of the Free thinkers at Chautau
qua Lake a short time ago, where he
heard Ingersoll speak for the first time
He returned home in state of intense
excitement. Finally he was pronounc-
ed insane, and his friends concluded to
send him to Dixmont, in this county,
where he arrived this morning, and
was put in charge of keeper A
special from Oi! City gives the follow
ing particulars of the case; "Our citi-
zers last evening witnessed an unusally
sorrowful spectacle. About Q o'clock
considerable excitement was occasioned
by cries loud and oft-repeated. At
first it was generally supposed to be an
alarm of fire, and Immediately the fire
men rushed to the hose-house. 1t was
soon discovered, however, that the
stentorian cries emanated from the
throat of man in a one-horse wagon
which was passing through the streets.
The bottom of the wagon-box was
covered with thick coating of straw,
and on top of that was a blanket, lying
on which, with his arms tightly pinion-
ed across his chest, was strong, rather
thick-set, intelligent man, with black
whiskers, slightly mixed with silver
threads. His writhing and twisting in
endeavoring to free himself were such !
that the services of several strong men
We're called into requisition. The |
policemen came running from different .
parts of the city to ascertain what was
the trouble, and large crowd of
curious spectators soon gathered about
the wagon, almost preventing its prog
ress As it passed along the poor crazy
occupant gave utterance in loud tones
to such expressionf rs GLORY to God!"
Now I'm truly happy I'm Jesus
Christ, and I'm going to save the
Worldl'' "Oh let me goI' GLORY,
glory. glory' The crowd followed the
wagon to the Union depot, where it
became so dense that the man was
saken into the waiting room with the
greatest trouble The doors was then
,losed. and the man continued his
'svings and SCREENINGS. Finally he
vas taken to the train, placed in car,
md strong men held him in his seat as {
le started away from Dixmont. He I
vas accompanied by his brother, his I
on, and Mark Wilson. The sorrow c
depicted in the brothers face as he I
-ainly endeavored to calm the crazy :
nan may be realized, but cannot be de- !
cribed. During the Methodist camp
Meeting in South Oil City, a few weeks :
go, he was a regular attendant, and I
laily drove to the grounds accompa- /
lied by his family. 1t is thought by t
many that the excitement of this meet T
ng, followed by IngersolPs remarks, as G
counter irritant, caused the dethrone-
nent of his reason. Certain it is, the U
fair is not a very favorable commenta !
: on either religious or sacrihgicus .
Upon his arrival at

Short Hand Notes.

The average newspaper sets up column
and half of third class jokes, and thel
being stricken with remorse, inserts few
religious items
"a thing of beauty is joy forever, bu
woman that eats onions will never go to
heaven and be an angel and wear wings.

Presidency; R. B. Hayes had his fight

difference between these two men which we
intend to lay before the public as soon as
we can borrow an American history.
Magnolia man says that he'll be con-
founded if any fellow can own a kicking
mule and retain any interest in religious
affairs; and that explains why he withdrew
from the church the other day.

A LITTLE five years old Jackson girl
was directed by her mother to take of
her new dress and put on an old one.
II want you to wear out your old dres-
ses this season, because they will soon
be too small for you" said the mother.
An hour afterward the little girl re-
appeared, her dress all torn and dirty,
"a perfect fright"
"Where on earth have you been, and
what have you been doing?' exclaimed
the Mortified mother.
"You told me, mama, replied the
little Miss Innocence, that you wanted
me to wear ont this old dress, and I've
done wored it out"

THE Walthall Pioneer: "There is
no better paper in the State than THE
COMET, and it should be in the hands of
every Mississippian. 1t is not only a
good sound political paper, but it is

practical suggestions on all topics. THE
COMET is peculiar; there is no other

A FRIEND LOST.

The Livestock Journal, published al
Starkville, an ableand useful paper of its
class, advocates Majah Put Darden for
United States Senator, because he was
esteemed to be a fitting representative
of the farmers, and that class were
entitled to the man if they chose to
center upon one. The reasons which
the LIS. j. gives for this advocacy in a
late issue are cogent and sound. But
from the extracts which we give below
we presume that paper is now disposed
to Put itself off on the Senatorial, Dol
ly Warden, anti-everybody- but, farmers
candidate. We quote
Livestock journal.
Capt. Put Darden seems to have brought
down the ire of the State press upon his
devoted head, if we may judge from the
hatteriLg (2) editorials which almost daily
greet us in their papers. Bro. Darden, we
think, in his abuse OF the newspapers, has
allowed his feelings to reach pitch, which
is injuring him in the estimation of his fell

has sufficient evidence to lead to such con-
clusion. Capt. Darden
being the head and recognized leader of the
farmers in this State, through the medium
of the Grange, which body we would natu-
rally suppose was a fair representation of
Mississippi farmers, we were led to the
opinion that he, of all others, was the man
to sit with l.. Q. G. Lamar in the Senate
of the United States. But we
