IN MEMORIAM
JAMES A. T. GoODRUM.

Thy spirit has fed,
Thou art laid with the dead,
And We pity the gloom
Of the desolate tomb.
Our hearts spenk in sighs,
And tears fill our eyes,
Fer thy sudden doom.
Twas hard thus to part
From the friend of our heart;
Thou did'st ever appear
So beloved and nsaT
That we'll ever regret
And esn never forget
One deemed so dear.
In peace did you go
To the grave; and We know
That many received
The sad news and grievsd;
And hearts in dismay
For thy life stole away,
Were sorely bereAVe1.
All loved you so well,
That words cannot tell
The SORROW each felt
As they wept and they knelt,
And then went to view
And bid thee sdieu,
With hearts thRt did melt.
And many did turn
In sadness to mourn
Then passed sadly by
With a tear and q sigh,
Going slowly away,
Regretting to say
Thatrsdd word "GOOD-BY
Itis sad, indeed,
And bosoms must bleed
When lips are last pressed
To those we love best
And we drink the bitter cup
Of giving them up
And lay them to rest.
But, in that Blest Forever,
Where partings are never,
The saints peIfe rest,
Mid the bright AID the biest;
When the Jordan is crossed,
Shall meet and embrace,
In that heavenly place,
The loved and the lost.
How sweet the greeting
OF that blest meeting
With those whom we love
In that City above.
Where death never rends,
And life never ends,
And happy Away
We He1er shall ssy
Farewell" TO our faiends,
-Adieu and 0d5eu,
Beloved one, to you'll
Tho here we must part
Thy grave is our heart,
And love-fowers will bloom
In that heart-buried tomb,
And thy name there entwine
With gArlands divine,
That ever will bloem.

THE WOUNDED PRESIDENT.

September Is the official bulletin said: "In
reviewing the case of the President since his
arrival at Long Brsnch, it may be said that in
spite of the varions septic accidents which have
for several weeks, and do still, complicate his
case, he has certainly not retrograded, but on
the contrary, has made some progress towards
convalescence." A correspondent writing un-
der the same date says: Diligent inquiry to-
phrase "septic," which was used in the morn
ing bulletin, beyond the fact that it indicates
inpurity of the blood, or in other words, blood
poisoning. Previous to the issuance Of the
morning bulletin a conference Of the attendi e
surgeons, Bliss, Agnew and Hamilton, was held
and, it is understood, was prolonged by argu-
ment as to what should be announced. DIR.
Boynton says that he understands the word
skeptic in the bullet to mean pyfemia, and
that there may be two or moro small abcesses
on the right lung. The complication is not
growing worse, and in all probability is repair
ing. There is q danger, however, of the left
lung being attacked.
News of the Presidents condition on the
10th inst, was not very encouraging. The dis
patch of Attorney General McVeagh to Minis
ter Lowell, London, concerning the President,
incorporated the following language: "There
has been no marked change in the Presidents
condition, but it is not at this hour reassurng.
The different symptoms arc almost all slightly
aggravated. His temperature and pulse have
fuctuated more than usual, and his respiration
Is rather more frequent, while the character of
the discharge continues to be unsatisfactory.

How Men Become Insane.

A large number of lunatics in our asy-
lums are the victims of their own mis-
conduct. Almost any person can make
himself lunatic if he pursues the di-
rect method. There are hundreds and
perhaps thousands in this city driving
themselves to madness. Gambling, spec
nlation and hard drinking will under
mine the strongest intellects. A young
man of my acquaintance has lately been
sent to Bloomingdale Asylum who was,
a few years ago, Sc promising as to OBJ
tain an important appointment. He
abused his position, wasted large sala-
ry, became suddenly gambler and a
rake as well as defaulter.
The same idea is advanced by Ho-
garth, who finishes the "Rake's Prog
ress" by the scene in the mad-house.
During the last five years large num-
bers have been carried to the asylum,
the victims of speculation. The love of
pleasure and the haste to get rich have
done fearful work. After the intellect
has been over driven it must sink and
perhaps remain in hopeless prostration.
1t may be added that the increase of in
sanity since the opening of the present
year is Of unparalleled degree. More
than 800 cases have been reported dur.
ing this brief interval, and hence it is
not surprising that the asylums are more
than full. The attention of the public
has been called to this subject by the
press, and additional room must be pro
vided. We must either abate that furi
GUS intemperance which is driving sc
many to madness, or we must double
our asylums all through the State
Troy Times.

A CORRESPONDENT OF an English journal
asserts that he has himself observed two
spider showers-the fall of gossamer
spiders in large numbers from a con-
siderable height in the atmosphere-one
in September, 1875, and the other in
September, 1880. The first occurred on
n cloudy morning, after q single peal of
thunder, but no rainfall "About 10 a.
m.," states this writer, 81 noticed small
spiders running over my coat-sleeves,
and had TO brush off several trails OF
gossamer wed. Looking around, found
that the brick walls, houses, branches Of
trees, ETC., had these webs dangling
from them, and that other gossamer webs
were continually falling from above, and
adding to the accumulation. BY mid
day a long fence was festooned from
point TO point of its triangular rail tops,
with n ribbon-like ladder of gossamer,
along which ran the spiders"

was placed in wheelbarrow to be removed, but
was dumped out, and being unable to rise,
a strap was placed around his neck. and

hurried into the ground. This was Friday .
week ago. The affair tried to be concealed. but
suspicious citizens agitated the matter and
informed the Governor who appointed Frank
L. Harralson, a lawyer, to accompany the Pen
itentiary physician, Rairs, to investigate. On
reaching the camp Mr.. Harralson had to dig
up the body himself, when he found the cruel
evidences of barbarous treatment in bruises
extending from the neck to the waist. A Cor

II omas Mason, First Sergeant Of Company
B, Second United States Artillery, who at
tempted to kill Guteau, is about thirty-ive or
thirty-eight years old, is well-bult, slender;
about five feet eleven inches in height, with
brown hair and mustache, clear complexion,
hazel eyes, and would be called good-looking
He is Virginian, and is of a family of six
young men. All his brothers served in the
Confederate, but Thomas Joined and served
with the Union army. He is said by
his superior officers and comrades to
be man of GOODNESS and q crack
shot, and, having been on duty several
times at the Jail, he knew the location Of the
cell, and also Guiteau's habit of standing at
the window when the relief guard arrived.
1t was, therefore, unnecessary for him to see
Guiteau when he fired, and, having prepared
himself, he took his stand at the corner of the
front wing of the building Although he
could not see the cell window, for the sash of
the outer window was down, he aimed at
the spot where he supposed Guiteau
was and pulled the trigger. Mason re-
peats that he regrets he did not
kill Guiteau. When asked when he had
formed the idea to shoot Guiteau, he an
swered "When the attempted assassination
was made by the scoundrel 1rst heard OF 1t
in Texas, on train where there were a num-
Der of soldiers, and secretly resolved if ever
I was put in position or had the oppor-
tunity, to kill the assassin. On Sunday
morning loaded my musket, knowing that
was going on duty, with the intention of shoot
ing him the first chance I got. When We
arrived at the Jail walked to where I could
get the range of his window, and fired. am
perfectly sane, and If I had killed him would
be willing to remain i'll prison the remainder Of
my life. If restored to duty, will shoot him
as soon as can get a chance" 1t is not be-
lieved that there will be any Court-martial in
Mason's case. 1t is not thought at the War
Department that there will be any trial at all.
The opinion that Mason was not in his right
mind when he did the firing is apparently ac-
ceptable among officials Of the War Department

Scpuf Of Dogs.

Dogs not only smell odors in an occa-
sional way, but they likewise seem to
extract recognizable odor from almost
everything. As Prof. Groom Robertson
also suggests, Anacharist knows me
when am dressed in clothes he never
saw before, by his nose alone. Let me
get myself up in q theatrical costume,
and cover my face with q mask, yet he
will recognize me at once by some, to us,
undiscoverable perfume. Moreover, he
will recognize the same odor as clinging
to my clothes after they have been taken
of. II I shy a pebble on the beach he
can pick out that identical pebble among
n thousand. Even the very ground on
which 1 have trodden remains to him a
faint memento Of my presence for hours
afterward. A bloodhound can track a
human scent week old, which argues a
delicacy of nose almost incredible to hu-
man nostrils. Similarly, too, if you
watch Anacharist at this moment you
will see that he runs up and down the
path, shifting away at every stick, stone
and plant, as though ne got a separate
and distinguishable scent out of every
one of them. And so he must, no doubt;
for il even the earth keeps perfume of
the person who has walked over it hours
before, surely every object about us must
have some faint smell or other, eithef of
itself or of objects which have touch,
it. When we remember that a single
grain Of musk will scent hundreds OF
handkerchiefs so as TO be recognizable
even by our defective organs Of smell,
there is nothing extravagant in the idea
that passing creatures may leave traces
discoverable by keener senses on all the
pebbles and straws which lie across the
road. Thus the smells which make up
half Of the dogs picture of the universe
are probably just as continuous and dis.
tinct as the sights which make up the
whole picture in our own case, and
which doubtless coalesce with the othel
half in the canine mind.-Harper'1
Weekly.
