CURIOUS HISTORY OF Il LUNATIC

CURIOUS HISTORY OF Il LUNATTC.
James D. Rhymus was a patient in
private mad-house. Mrs. Bigelow, wife
of the physician in charge, took deep
interest In his case. She believed that
insanity could be cured by moral suasion
and generally mild treatment, and she
chose Rhymus as subject on which to
test her system. He steadily improved
until at last sanity was re.estahlished.
In the meantime Mrs. Bigelow had be-
come widow. She soon after married
Rhymus, and he became a physician.
That was twenty years ago. DIR. Rhy-
mus made insanity a specially in his
practice, and had charge successfully of
many asylums. He adhered to the the
DRY of mild treatment which had been
proved in his own case, and for the pur-
pose Of putting it into thorough prac-
tice he leased the Grand View Hotel,
near Denver, Col, turning it into an
asylum. In order to train his keepers
by degrees, he at first only admitted
three patients, and these were supposed
to be only slightly deranged. But he
was mistaken in one of these, and one
morning found himself attacked by
furious mailman, who choked him In
sensible, and would have killed him if
his wife had not fought heroically to
fee him. During the commotion caused
by the struggle the other two patients
escaped, and one of them drowned her.
self. This bad beginning of the enter
prise drove DR.. Rhymus insane again,
and while out of his mind he slew his
wife.-lfanchester Mirror.

JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL ON THE
PRESS.
In speech at a Press Fund Dinner, at
Manchester, Eng, Minister Lowell said:
81 think there is one thing in which
even those who are pessimistically in
ei;ned VIII say that the world has i'm
proved, and that is the press. Cheers.
1t is certainly a leng stride ION the
Grub Street ,'ox,7aol-nay, from Thack-
eray's picture of the pressman, which is
only generation old-to such table
as this, and to prosperity Of the press
which indicates higher civilization.
and which is also justified in the noble
manner in which it is used. fCheers.
The great danger which thoughtful men
have always dreaded from the press was
the danger of irresponsible power, and
irresponsible power has, almost invari-
ably, been ll-used power. But I must
say that in that respect the press has
advanced in the right direction, and that
such publicity as it gives is more useful
than harmful. Hear, hear.] I have
more than once protested against the
interviewer" who has certainly done
what few men of genius have been able
to do-that is, to add new verb q Will
not say whether or not it is an elegant
one) to the language. [Laughter.] But
I must acknowledge that he is frequent
~ useful, and that he enables public
men out Of power to make speeches
from which they would otherwise be
precluded. Hear, hear And when I
remember that the first great and model
interviewer was Boswell, I confess that
my feelings soften toward the whole
race. [Cheers and laughter.l I alluded
a moment ago to what is sometimes
disagreeable-or may become very
disagreeable and dangerous-quality Of
the press, and that is the catering to
a universal curiosity which leads to ON
Invasion Of the privacy of life [cheersl
and which, if it justified all that has
been feared of it, would make us all live
in much fercer light than that which
is said to beat upon throne. But when
we consider-as I think all thoughtful
men should consider that, I will not
say the majority, but to considerable
portion of mankind, their consciences
are external to them, and that Mrs.
Grundy. in short, is a large part of their
law, think we can see how in this di-
recion the press may be highly service
able in promoting purity of life and a
high code of public morals"

a LADY of Holyoke, Mass, has built
a house out of money she has made by
selling her husband liquor. He drinks
regularly, and she bsrgained with him
that if he would drink he should buy all
his liquor of her. Thus she got all the
profit instead of the saloon-keepers.
But we would risk something on it that
she hasn't let her procedure become
known to the internal-revenue officer Of
the neighb rhood, for she is liable to be
arrested for selling liquor without IL
cense, and thus violating a United States
law.

HOW THEY SALT 4 CLAIM.

quartz. 8" I don't see what they want
to salt claim for, and I don't under

"Well, you see, hot season like this

"Well, every claim has quartz. Some
more and some less. You find out how
many quartz there are, and then put in
SO many pounds Of salt to the quart.
Wildcat claims require more salt, be-
cause the wild cat spoils quicker than
anything else.
Sometimes you catch sucker, too,
and you have to put him in brine pretty
plenty or you will lose him. That's one
reason why they salt claim.
"Then, again, you often grub stake a

To illustrate this idea Mr.. Marcy relates
the following anecdote: "While I was
