"A young white man, a stranger, took
three or tolr violent fits in different parts
of the city yesterday. His last exhibition
was a very public one; he dropped down
near the sidewalk in front Of Mr.. VIM.
Ludwig's place of business, about four
o'clock in HE afternoon. A large crowd
gathered Immediately; various remedies
were suggested aud one was applied: he
was given an internal application of strong
salt water. When the victim recovered, he
flew iutoa rage and showered curses loud
and deep upon the head of the good Samari-
tan who had administered the dose. Off
GERS were on hand, however, and induced
him 10 quiet down ~ threatening him
with incarceration. He was young fell
low, cripple, having the use of only one
leg, the other being injured in some way;
and he moved about with the assistance OF
two pieces of rough timber as substi.
tutes for crutch aud cane. He came here
from st. Louis on the Short Line train
yesterday morning and was bound for
further south. The officers turned him
over to the care of Dr.. Wood, who helped
him along toward his destination.
A pretty girl presented herself the
other day at a clynic in one OF the hospitals
of Vienna mot 10 johnson county, Ills.
Some other VIENNA, and asked to be ex'
amined, explaining that she had become
deaf in one ear, and none of her friends
could account tor the unexpected otiictiou.
Prot. Gruber kindly replied that he would
see what he could, do aud accordingly began
to question her as to the circumstances I'M
medlateiy attending the appearance OF her
deafness. After much hesitation and with
many bushes, or rather one prolonged
blush, the girl at last confessed that when
her lover returned after long absence ne
took her in his arms aud pressing bis
mouth to her ear, conferred upon that or
gan most intense and vigorous kiss. Al
that instant she felt a sharp pam aod had
been dear ever since. The Professor made
an examination, and found that the drum
of the ear has actually been rup'ured, and
there is no reason to doubt that the kiss
did it. II is, of course, needless u say
that the young lady was not a Caro-
Illinois, gill. Cairo, Illinois, girls are al
provided bv n kind Providence with fea'
ture far more kissable than the ear, aud on
which no amount Of oscula,ory demonstra-
ton has ever yet been known to injure-al
least we thlnk so. Aud ardent lovers IN
Cairo are aware of this fact, too,--that |;
to say we think they are; we don't protest
to know, you know, anything about thest
things.
