His Crazy Bone.
From the Indianapolis Journa,s

Z TOm Tie Indianapolis JOQrnI.F
The man that struck his crazy bone
All suddenly jerked up one foot
And hopped three vivid hops, and put
His elbow straight before him-then
Flashed white as pallfd Parian stone,
And cltnched his eyes, and hoped again.
He spake no word-he made no moan
He muttered no invective-but
just gripped his eyelt1s tighter shut,
And, as the world whizzed past him then,
He only knew his crazy bone
Was stricken-so-he hoped again.

and through its representatives exercises di-
rect control over it. Washington, then from
its very inception partoOk of national character,
and to all close observers it already gives evil
gence of becoming in time veritable eptome of

city more forcibly illustrates this distinctiveiy
national character than do the buildings scat

House Cell.
Elizabeth Jackson, tho handsome
daughter Of Captain Jackson, tho com.
mander of a lake steamer, was fOuad dead,
hanging from the bar door of station
house coll in Chicago. She was
eighteen years old, highly accom-.
plshed and was beloved by all who knew
her. She was of a lively disposition,
and her merry, ringing laugh Friday night,
while she was talking to some friends on
the street, attracted tho attention Of Ill
over Jealous policeman. He seized her
roughly by the arm and started with her
toward tho station house. She begged in
piteoEs tones to be released, asserting
mildly, but firmly, her innocence of any
disordcrly conduct. Her captor, however,
seemed possessed Of IN adalnantine heart,
and, disregarding her agOniziDg Outbursts
of grief and the appeals Of her friends, he
brought her to the station-hOuse and pre-
fcrred a charge Of disorderly conduct
against her. Left alone in cold dark
cell, her ears tortured by the ribald jests
of the lowest of her sex, she realized her
fearful position, and, it is believed, while
crazed through shame aud modification,
she hanged herself with her handkerchief
to the bars of her cell door. The deepest
sorrow is manifested for her by her many
many personal friends and those of her
family, and efforts will be made to have
the heartless policeman called to strict
account for his action.
