Hysteria.
...s-s yscytT
Chambers's Journal. |

Chambers's Journal
Hysteria is by no means confined to
women, for one of the worst attacks
which | have witnessed occurred in Il
man. This gentleman one day found
he had lost his all, and on returning
home, he became the victim of laughing
and crying, until sheer exhaustion
brought an end to the attack This
was quite involuntary, But it might
be remarked that even in hysteria such
thing rs fashions prevails, showing that
q certain power of restraint may be
used. When | was boy, hysteria was
the fashion; and if during conversation
any remark was made to touch lady's
sensibilities, she would clinch her hands,
make a wry face, her eyelids would
undergo u rapid vibration, she would
give sob or two, and sink from her
chair The cure was accomplished by
throwing cold water over her face; and
if this cncroached on her neck or wetted
her dress, the cure was very sudden
and complete During church service,
it was the usual practice to have
young lady carried out; but think as q
rule she belonged to an inferior class,
whose kind OF work during the week
did not allow them to play dressmaking
tricks with themselves on Sunday; for
if | remember rightly the cure was
effected in their case by the call for o
penknife. This was used to loosen the
body armor, when loud explosion
took place, followed by deep sigh and
speedy recovery of the patient So
fashionable was fainting or Mysteries in
church, that | have II lively remem-
brance of u young lady who had .
weekly attack. and was often carried
out by gentleman in the next pew.
As these two were atterward married,
apprehendcd that this was one mode
of courtship, / am only too thankful to
think, for the peace OF other people,
that this method Of forcing matrmony
has gone out.

THREE MEETINGS.

Oh the happy meeting from over the sea;
When | love my friend and my friend loves
me:
And we stand face to face, and for letters
read
There are endless words TO be heard and
said,
With a glance between, shy, anxious, half
strange,
As if asking "Say, now, is there aught Of
chsugef
Till We both settle down as we used TO be
Since love my friend and my friend loves
me.
oh the blis-ful meeting of lovers true,
Against whom fate has done all that fate
could do;
And then dropped, comprehensive over
those slain
Dead years of anguish, parting, and pain,
Hope lifts her banner, gay, gallant, and
fair,
Untaintcd uniform, in the balmy air;
And the heaven OF the future, golden and
bright.
Arches above them-God guards the right
But oh for the meeting to come one day,
When the spirit slips out of its house o.
clay;
When the standers-by, with pitying sign
Shall softly cover this face of mine,
And leap-whither, all! who can know
But onward, onward, rs spirits must 60
Until eye to eye, without FEAR ! see
God, and my lost, rs they see me.

A fossil forest has been discover.
ed in Oldham, England, in Edge
Lane quarry. The trees number
about twelve, and some OF them are
two feet in diameter. They are in
good preservation. The roots can
be seen interlacing the rock, and
the fronds of the ferns are to be
found imprinted on every piece Of
stone. The discovery has excited
much interest in geological circles
round Manchester, and the forest
has been visited by a large number
Of persons. The trees belong to the
middle coal measure period, al
though it has been regarded az
somewhat remarkable that no coal
has been discovered near them
The coal is found about two hun
dred and fifty yards beneath.

Mr.. HENDRICKS hits the nail very
squarely on the head when he says that
"Garfield's nomination means the en-
dOrsement and approval in the most posi-
tive and offensive manner possible of the
presidential fraud of 1S76,' because
Garfield had more to do it with
it than anybody else and was the only
man who occupied a double relation to
it, having been an agent for his party in
manipulating the evidence in that case
and then acting rs juryman for the
nation to pass upon that fabricated evi-
dence and, as such, having held it to be
conclusive and binding.
This is an original and striking point.
Mr.. Garfield was the only one of the Wis
iting statesmen who presumed to sit
upon the high commission that judged
under oath of the dispute in which these
statesmen had made fraudulent case.
Common decency should have withheld
him from sitting and his act in finding as
he did was only equalled in its infamy by
that of Bradley, who, after writing an
opinion under the law to count Florida
for the Democrats, was persuaded
by Judge Strong's family prayer meet
ing that violation of his official oath
could he justified before heaven to avert
such a calamity as the seating of a law
fully elected Democratic president.

lowed to create any relaxation CT effort.

The qualification expressed over the re-
ported capture of the bloody Benders
was dispelled when it was found the peo-
pie exhibited at seven:y-five cents a head
were not the assassins at all. Their pur-
suit and capture seem to have been the
trick of a Snowman sheriff to put money
into his pocket and theirs. Public senti-
ment Is however reconciled to the disap-
pointment since it is definitely ascertained
that years ago these phenomenal murder
ers and murderesses were put out of the
way.

The Love that Kills.

Ed. Parkhurst, young lawyer, twenty
four years of age, killed Fannie Howell,
aged twenty-five years, at Bath, N. Y,
by shooting her with a revolver. Ho then
shot himself. Both belonged to the best
families in Bath and there was quito a
romance connected with their lives. Six
or seven years ago they wero married at =
picnic, but their parents intcrfered and the
courts declared the marriage null and void.
Since arriving at ago they have attempted
to 1.-Two together, but the girls parents OBJ
jected and an i'll feeling engendcred. Park
hurst again tried to persuade the girl to
live with him, and upon her refusal drew
his revolver, shooting her and then him
self. It is thought that he was under the
influence Of liquor at tho time of the trag-
cdy.

THOSE POLES.

Continued Bad Luck for Republicans.
Thus far, every time the Republicans
have attempted to raise pole in this city
during the present campaign bad luck has
attended them. Their poles have fallen
down and broken, their ropes and tackle
have broken, their derricks have broken
and everything has gone wrong. As yet
nobody has been quite killed at any Of the
pole-laisings, but several have been badly
crippled. The Fatcs arc against them. aud
if they were wise they would make amend
Of pole-raisinS AMI stick to their more
legitimate practices Of coon-huntins. mud
singing and ballot-box stutling. In the
hickory polo they have no rightful lot or
part :; it has been for generations the en-
blcm Of Democracy, and the Republicans
might as we'll steal the Democratic plat
form ut once rs to steal our hickory.
On Saturday they attempted to put up
two poles, one in the Fifth ward corner Of
Columbia and Marietta avenues, and the
other in the Sixth ward, corner of Walnut
and Christian streets. The Sixth ward
pole lies in tho gutter, and fears are cx-
pressed that it may never assume an up
right position. In digging hole in which
to plant it, rock WAS struck ut less than
eighteen inches from the surface. As the
hole ought to be at least six or eight feet
deep good deal of blastin. will have to
be done to make tho necessary excavation.
Although it is none Of our funeral we
may be permitted to suggest that much
labor and expense and vcxation would be
saved Our Republican brethren if they
would sell tho log to Philip Lebzelter for
conversion into spokes, shafts and felloes.
1t is entirely too crooked to be ornamental.
The Fifth ward pole was elevated after
q world of trouble, and from its tOpmost
branches float a number Of small Ameri-
can flags. There being nothing in or
about tho pole to indicate that it had
been raised in tho interest Of fraud,
bribery and Do Gcyler, number of
impulsive but patriotic Democrats
seeing that it was Of Democratic
Hickory" and hoatcd tho colors under
which Hancock so gallantly fought natur-
ally enough mistook for it for a Demo-
cratic pole, and during Saturday evening
nailed upon its trunk, high up, neatly
painted boards bearing tho names of
" Hancock and English" They found
ont what a mistake they had made, when
shortly after day break Oh Sunday morn
ing they saw number of Republicans hav-
ing war-dance around the pole, and
swearing they would scalp the wretches
who had dared to put the names Of the
Democratic nominees upon it. The names
of Hancock and English were speedily re-
moved and trampled under foot. that
their places might be occupied by DeGol-
yer Garfield and Custom House Fraud
Arthur.
The Ninth ward Republicans had in
tended to put up a pole on Saturday en-
North Charlotte street, but with their al
customed bad luck they failed to do 50.
