Afraid OF Himself.
Lpittsburg Telegraph

II lttopulb lCltBldpnl
Last evening Mayor Megraw, of Allie
gheny, was visited by a respectable
looking man who asked to be placed in the
lookup, as he feared he was losing his
mind and would do himself harm. He
stated that on Saturday his wife had tcld
him there was some rent due on the
house, which angered him so that he
made use of an oath, something that he
has not done for many years.
This 50 troubled him that he believed
he was becoming insane. When he
crossed the bridge he could hardly with
stand the desire to leap into the river,
and for fear he might hurt himself or a
member of his family, he was careful to
put all sharp instruments beyond his
reach. His Honor conversed with him
some time, and he talked so nationally
that he hesitated about placing the man
in the lookup. Finally, however, he
granted the mans req uest, in 50 far as to
lock him up in the Hospital Department.

cue Courier Saturday. The reporters
learned that she was a morphine eater,

gentleman of Syracuse. The drug was

Of her dress, where she was in the habit
of carrying it, and was killed by market
men. The lady says she can not sleep till
she has another pet rat, and has started
for New York to obtain one. Her father
says the rat was perfectly tame, and de-
voted to its mistress, who is rational upon
all other subjects except this pet and
morphine Or opium. She says She was
robbed Of valuable rings while under the
influence of the drug, but added: Il can
buy more rings, but will give $500 to
regain my darling rat"

The st. Louis P P,st-Dispatch thus de-
scribes the operation: At one of the
Chinese laundres on Chestnut street last
evening quite crowd gathered to hear
musical soiree within. A middle-aged
Mongolian was playing a Celestial fiddle,
queer-looking two-stringed instrument
something like anexaggerated pipe. The
bow, Of most archie description, was
strung inside the strings, so that the mu
sic was drawn from below by raising the
bow, perfectly logical way for an anti
thetical Chinee to harmonic. The mel
odies, what there were of them, were SIM
pie and even sweet, that is, they might
be sweet if they were played on a sweet
toned yiol. The thing seemed to be all
keyed above the bridge. One of the pig
tailed auditors was carried by the air back
to the sandy banks of the Per Ho, and,
throwing nimbus of spray about him,
from out his mouth, caroled forth a
Chinese madrigal to the huge amusement
of the crowd.

Altogether the convention might we'll be
taken for a Grant mass meeting. Local is

There will be no contest over the control oil
Tammany Hall after all. The election which
takes place next week will go by default, and
the Kelly faction will have walk over. This
result was brought about by the dissolution
OF the injunction issued some time ago
against more than $50 of Kelly's friends who
were elected to membership In the society
last December, contrary to the rules govern
ing elections, as the Tilden men contended.
AS this great access to Kelly's strength puts
MIN practically in control Of the coming cleo
lion, the opposition have wisely concluded not
TO take part in it. They have formed new
society, for the purpose, it is claimed, of pro-
oucing harmony in the Democratic party,

an elaborate bill, prepared by Senator

power to provide rules and regulations to
prevent the introduction Of infectious diseases,
and for Interstate guarantees during an
epidemic; authorizes the board to send exam
lining surgeons to each port to inspect vessels
coming from foreign ports, and requires our
consuis in foreign ports to make weekly

national board is to advise with local health
boards on all questions Of quarantine and
