UNNATURAL HAPPINESS.
One Of the Types Of Insanity that has
Largely Iacreased of Late Years.

Ono of the Types OF Insanity that has
Largely Iacreased of Late Years.
There is one of the happiest men in
the world as the present moment" City
Physician jackson said as he entered,
with New York sun reporter, the pa
vilion for the insane of Bellevue hospit-
al, and was heartily greeted by a new
inmate of the place.
The patient was fine looking man,
inclined to stoutness, with gray hair and
beard, and pleasant glow in his face
He was 81 years old, and the only pecul-
iarity about his appearance was that he
staggered slightly whenever he rose from
his seat He had been arrested for pull
ing flowers from clergyman's garden to
make nosegays for his wife, and he re-
peated the oflense until he was sent to
the city physician to have his mental
condition examined.
''The happiest man conceivable" the
physician repeated, "and yet hopelessly
insane"
He imagined that he possessed great
wealth, and that he could not do any
thing better than spend it in making
presents to everybody he met. He had
lavishly squandered money before his ar
rest on worthless articles, and at the mo-
ment he spoke he offered to give the
physician 500 for coming to see him, i'm.
agining he was a friend, on visit. He
also turned to the reporter, with whom
he shook hands as though he had been
acquainted with him for years. He wound
up the very exuberant greeting by prom
ising the reporter gold watch and gold
collar button.
"Come again, and viii have reeep
ton for you here" the patient said, as the
physician went away.
"What is his specific trouble?" the re
porter asked.
General paresis," said the physician
at has taken the form of sustained ella
ton, and for two years that man will b,
the happiest of mortals. Nothing in ra
tional existence could approach to tn,
enjoyment he will experience. But j
will all end abruptly in complete tota
darkness and death. A gradual paraly
sis will attack his system and continu,
until brain and limbs are finally helples
and he viii pass awvy like burnt-ou
candle.
The Osceola times., 1883-01-06

General paresis" he continued, "has
Formerly such cases were very rare, and
physicians would travel miles to witness
and investigate the mental phenomena
of their condition. Now they can be
found in any asylum. They live in a
wild delerium of joy, and can readily be
picked out of crowd of lunatics by q
lay visitor by their excessive and unnat-
ural cheerfulness.
at would be a fortunate thing if lunacy
always took the form of general paresis
fora immense amount of suffering would
be saved the most unfortunate class OF
unfortunate beings. Sufferers from the
disease are never violent, simply bolster
ously jubilant. They think the whole
world is their friend"

The senator from the south.
PHILADELPHIA Times.

Alfred II. Colquitt, the new Demo
cratic Senator from Georgia, is not the
equal of Hill in brilliancy or in intelec-
tual breadth, but he will make a more
practical and useful senator. He is a
modified edition of Stonewall Jackson.
He did the bulk of the preaching and
praying for his command between bat
lies during the war and was as dogged a
war fiend az Jackson in the flame of con-
flict. He is unlike Jackson in that he is
far from a religionist of the old blue
stocking Calvin type. He is a Methodist
local minister; is genial and even jolly
in social life, and he has the faculty of
being able to run religious revivals and
political campaigns at the same time
without soiling the cloth or degrading
religion. He often breaches for the
colored churches in his state, and every
attempt to ALLEVIATE the colored voters
from his political fortunes has been q
marked failure. He will be decidedly
popular Senator and one of the most ef.
| ficient members of that body.

An English Opinion.
Chicago Tribune

What the Spectator sees to day in
America is the rehabilitation of industry
1t is the compulsory redistribution in
time of peace Of the estates Of the people
English rehabilitation was military, and
occurred some centuries ago. The Viii
liam who damned the English public in
1866 confscated with the sword. Our
William confiscates with the Stock Ex-
change. English soil is monopolized by
a few great corporations and combina-
tons. Just as the English aristocracy
have used Parliament and the bench and
bar to perfect the titles to what they stole
and to make the plundered still pay the
taxes on it, our plutocrats are using Com
mon Councils, Legislature, Congress and
judiciary.

THRILLING MOMENTS.
Red-Letter Incidents Reported from the
-Four Corners Of the Earth.

hed-Leder incidents Reported rom the
-Four Corners of the Earth.
Silberer the Australian aeronaut, re-
Gently had a thrilling experience which
is worthy of chronicle.
With two companions he made an as
cent from Vienna, intending to alight
soon, but suddenly change of wind
drove them toward the lower valley of
the Danube, and regular hurricane
broke out. The car was at the time with
in a few feet of the ground, but was hurl-
ed with such velocity that the peasants
who had gathered from all directions
were unable to render assistance Mean
while the three voyagers, whose position
was becoming every moment more crit
ical, were jolted about in the wicker cage,
thrown off their legs, and unable to han
die the anchor or gas valve, their only
hope Of rescue.
They got so unfortunately entangled
that Silberer, who alone knew how to
regulate the escape of gas, had only his
left arm free, and was utterly helpless.
On drifted the balloon, over meadow and
vineyard, tree and rock, until its head
}long course was for the moment arrested
: in protruding branch of huge oak.
One of the balloonists was thrown out
and had miraculous escape, receiving
only few slight injuries. The weight
being thus reduced. the balloon hurried
on with the same fearful rapidity, till it
came in contact with substantial brick
wall, in which it made large breach. 1t
then crossed graveyard, knocking over
tombstones and iron crosses. One shock
more violen. than the rest precipitated
the other companion to the ground,
where he lay stunned by the fall, having
sustained severe internal and external
injuries. A minute later the balloon
slackened its speed and Silberer had re.
tained just sufficient strength to secure
the anchor and to alight. They had
reached the neighborhool of Stockereau
and had been an hour and half on theil
dangerous trip.

In finding the words for the first figure
or word-square, bear in mind that il is
reversible. The first word is a feminine
name; the second a point Of time the
third point of time, and the fourth a
feminine name.
The second figure is that of a ladder
The two uprights are the names of two
Southern States. The first round means
q flat surface the second an arbor, and
the third soft earth.
As to the diamond the parts are: First
a consonant; second, an aeriform fluid !;
third, an operatic star; fourth, a pen !;
fifth, a vowel.
1t is in long runs Of color that the
bank makes its greatest coups. People
seem to think that because color has
turned up eight or nine times il hasn't as
good a chance of coming up the next. As
a matter Of fact the chances are exactly
even, though it is impossible to convince
ninety-nine out of a hundred that such is
the case At Monaco, lately, the number
seven did not come up for several days,
and people were telegraphing their orders
from all over Europe to bet on number
seven. OF course, the chances of run
on color are more or less, and can be
readily calculated, but the chances on
each individual turn of the card are ex-
actly even.

The Prize Hammer of Democracy.
pallas Dispatch in ST. Louis Republican

There is a movement on foot here
among leading Democrats to forward
the Texas Democratic challenge banner
to New York on account Of her big ma
jority, although il was originally intend
ed it should only be contested for in
Presidential elections and presented to
the state giving the largest majority.
Georgia won it in 1876 and kept it for
three years. Texas won it in 1880 and it
is now in Joseph B. Simpsons possession
in Dallas. 1t will no doubt be sent to
New York. The banner is beautiful

A Mexican Fathers Clever Trick
Two Republics, City of Mexico.

There comes from Huatocso a story
which reads like a page from Boccacio.
1t appears that some persons near there
resolved to abduct the pretty daughter
of an Italian colonist. Her father learn
ed of the plot, and sending his daughter
to a neighbor's house he attired himself
in her clothes and lay where she was
accustomed to sleep. The robbers came
and carried OFT the supposed damsel,
with great glee, but much were they sur
prised when the father gave them some
hard hits and other tokens of regard.

For thirty-five years have been the vic
tim of that terrible disease, Dyspepsia, have
consulted eminent physicians, and tried al
most every remedy. My family physician
finally told me could not be cured. One

William Dunn. Robert Roberts, and
two other miners were at work on a
dump near Tombstone, Arizona, a few
days ago, several other men digging in a
cut near by, when they were startled by
rifle vollley The shooting was accom-
panied by savage yells, and moment
ater band of Apaches showed them
selves on the crest of the hill.
The men in the cut were safe from at
tack, while those near the dump were
only partly 50. Dunn concluded that he
would make break to enter the cut,
though Roberts strongly advised him to
remain where he was, and he would be
safe.
Dunn, not needing his partners ad-
vice, made rush, but the bullets were
too fast for him, and one struck him in
the shoulder and brought him to the
ground before he had got to his haven of
safety.

GAMES FOR YOUNG FOLKS.
Che wind, silver Circulation, and a
Trick with an Egg.

Philadelphia Times.

~ Philadelphia Times.
sthe many games for young folks
called "The Whirlwind" For this
twenty chairs are placed close to-
q gether in circle, and twenty players
join the sport. One of the players, how
ever, stands in the centre of the ring, so
that one chair is left vacant. This person
in the center wishes to sit down, but he
is prevented because the players in the
ring keep in constant motion, each one
rising only to sit down in the next chair
to the right the instant it is quilted by its
occupant. No one is allowed to occupy
more than one chair, and each must in
yariably take the chair next on the right,
the whole ring moving round and round
with great rapidity. The player in the
center tries his best to secure a seat
among the flying mass. And if he sue
ceeds the player on his right must stand
up and try his luck in finding seat. For
this reason every one is eager to prevent
the leader from sitting next to him, and
when the sport is at its height it is ap-
propriately named "The Whirlwind."
SILVER CIRCULATION.
The merry game of "Silver Circulation"
is better suited for very little folks. Quick
eyes and nimble fingers are required in
playingit. All excep. one of the children
sit around table, il chairs placed so
near each other that the elbows of each
child will touch those of the one next to
him on each side when extended. A
round table is better than a square one.
When the game begins one child runs
around on the outside and tries to keep
sight Of flying dollar or some other sill
yer piece, which ismade to slip from hand
to hand on the table. To confuse the
catcher every hand on the table is kept
in rapid motion, until the cry Of "Iiands
upw is made by the player outside. At
this call every child must hold both hands
up as high as the arms can reach when
extended. Every hand must be shut
tight and be kept closed until the catcher
decides who has the dollar. II he guesses
correctly the person caught becomes the
catcher in turn, but if incorrectly the first
player continues the game until he has
found the hand which holds the dollar
This is hard to do unless the holder be-
trays by his looks that he is the unlucky
one.
TRICK WITH AN EGG.
If one were to say, Il can place an egg
so that it cannot be broken by striking ii
with flat side of tin pan," there would
be doubters in any company. Let one
Of the doubters take the pan and be ready
to strike with all his might When he
has tried in vain to guess how You will

small end or on its large end-stand il up
