A Nocturnal Ramble and What Came of It.

Some genius-we suspect him to be- long to the jovial order of humanity has said; The day to drone and dream, the night to learn and ramble" We do not propose to dispute this worthy's view of the matter, but present herewith the experience ol Philadelphia journalist, MT. William H. Cunnington, TIP North Twentieth street, one of whose noctur nal rambles he thus refers to, beginning his narration rather peculiarly, however: T am not rheumatic, and have been troubled very little with bodily pains. Last Tuesday morning 1 experienced a very annoying stiffness of the neck, which grew worse as the day wore on. Toward evening 1t became very severe, and l could scarcely turn my head in any direction. Arriving home at tea time,,it was with difficulty that l could eat my meal. My wife wanted to rub my neck with St. Jacobs Oil, but re- fused, saying thought the aflliction would soon pass away, Tea over, against the remonstrances of my family, l left home to ramble toward the new Chest nut Street Opera House, about two and a half miles from my residence. l started in the midst of a heavy snow storm, and remained at the theatre until the close LII tllo peIIoiIidlCe, dltHOugl cOulu ieel my neck getting worse and becoming very painful. Leaving the play the trouble came to reach home. The storm continued; the car in which was became blocked in nearly every square. a cold air swept through the car, and did not reach my home until toward am, by which time my neck had become abso- lutely rigid. Then I consented to the use of St. Jacobs Oil, which my wife applied two or three times before arose l continued it's use that day, and by evening was free from pain, and the next morning l amused myself by twist ing Fly neck i'll any direction that suited me, and not yestige of stiffness re- nained. ."-Boston HerWd.

A Freak of Nature.

A farmer near Lafayette, Ind, has on his farm four year old eve, which has exhibited a remarkable freak of nature. Some time ago hard lump was noticed in one of ears, which lump gradually grew and finally developed into horn about six inches in length and two inches in diameter at the base. As the horn continued to grow the farmer was com pelled to cut the ear off, as the point WAS directed to the eye of the sheep and gave it considerable annoyance. The portion of the ear with the horn attached IS now on exhibition, and is attracting considerable attention among the curi- ous

HORSE TALK.

Some one has been mean enough to sug-
gest that this story is of local application
The story runs in this wise: Mrs Laura
Daintyswas reading out in Missouri, and at
one of the receptions which frequently fel-
low her readings, a gentleman was present
who was able to talk horse very fuently
but couldn't talk anything else, Not being
able to talk much horse, the little lady was
puzzled how to entertain this guest, until
he casually mentioned that he lived in a
certain Michigan city "Oh, yes, she ex-
claimed, II read there only a few evenings
ago and had most charming audience"
Then she added, They have very fine
course there" And ne, delighted to find
a woman who knew something, enthusias-
tically replied. Eyes, they have as nice a
mile track as there is in the state The
subsequent silence cast a gloom over the
entire company.

THE LEyEF.

The river men are considerably exelcis-
ed over the poor condition of the levee at
this point. They claim that no facilities
are afforded steamers to land here, as few
rings or other objects to which ropes can
be attached, are, provided and no other
facilities are furnished for the steamboats,
which are compelled to make the landing.
The captains of the different boats ply
selves in anything but complementary
manner, of the Rock Island levee. and
those interested in the matter are strongly
of the opinion that something should be
done to remedy the apparent defects OF
that section of the CITY.

The little fellows were quite reticent
about their plans or intentions in coming to

They claimed. however, that their homes
were not as happy as they could desire,
and for that reason, they had concluded
to run away.
They were kindly treated by the police
of this city, and were supplied with pea
nuts and other articles dear to an infant
lie heart.

PUBLIC HOSPITAL.

The subject of securing county hos
pital was brought before the Board of Su-
pervisors yesterday morning by the citi-
zens' committee, of which W. L. Sweeney,
IL. Curtis, Jr., Rev. Thos Mackin, DIR.
Craig and DR.. Eyster are members.
The Board appointed a committee oil
conference, which consisted of Supervisors
Ritter, Martin, Wray, Schneider, Blom
berg and Werlich.
In the afternoon the members of the
two committees visited Mercy Hospital in
Davenport, and made very careful ex-
animation of that institution, its manner
of receiving patients and all other details
that could be obtained.
On returning to this city the members OF
the committee made written report, which
will be submitted to the Board this morn
ing.
1t is understood that the report will cen
tain a statement that the present treat
ment of the insane at the county poor
farm is disgrace to any community, and
will recommend that something must be
done to improve upon the plan now in
operation for their care
The report will probably contain a rec
ommendation that the Board win best
serve the interest of humanity by con
structing a county hospital On the ground
donated for that purpose by Mr.. p L.
Cable. of this city.
The members of the present Board APP
pear to be strongly in favor of erecting an
institution where the sick and the insane
can be cared for in a proper and humane
manner.
Yesterday afternoon an informal tex
was INDUCED in at the session of the Boa-u
of Supervisors, when Messrs. Heath, Cor
don, Jerdon, Colseth and Sinnett all ex-
pressed themselves as favorable to a coun-
ty hospital.
The general opinion prevailed that it
would be better to appropriate the entire
amount from the county treasury, and
have the institution county affair, rather
than erect it in conjunction with any par
ticular denomination.
The subject will come up for considera-
ton this morning, while some definite
plans win be arranged

Fire at the Taylor House
last Evening.
The Hospital Movement
takes a Boom.
Insane Case at the County
Court Yesterday.
LOCAL LANGUAGE.



The alarm of fire last night at 10 o'clock
was caused by the burning of the Taylor
House, frame structure, on the corner of
Fourth avenue and Sixteenth street The
building was owned by ]. C. Taylor, of
Cedar Rapids, and was occupied by Samuel
Adams as public house. The fire origi-
mated in the laundry, and when first dis
covered by the domestics, who occupy the
room Immediately over that apartment, ii
was burning between the walls of the laund
ryand the hotel proper.
The department responded to the alarm,
and soon had a number of streams play
ing upon different parts of the building.
1t was thought that the flames could be
confined to the laundry, and on that ac-
count the furniture was not renewed
from the main building until some time
after the fire was discovered
The flames were soon under control, but
not until the building was deluged with
water
The loss on the building, mainly from
water, will not exceed 81. 900, and is thought
to be covered:hy insurance On the fur
niture, covered by 30, 200 with Hayes &
Cleveland, the loss will not amount to
that figure.
