Yankee Doodle in Paris.

paris Letter in Philadelphia Telegraph
The mention of Americans in Paris
reminds me of a comical little scene
whereof a French lady friend of mine
was an amused witness the other day.
She was walking down the Champs Ely
sees when she saw in front of her a very
small boy, presumably about Z years
old, who was marching along, smoking a
cigarette in a most independent fashion.
A policeman came up and accosted this
minute specimen of humanity, and the
following dialogue ensued:
Policeman (authoritatively) - Throw
away that cigarette. You are great
deal too young to smoke.
Small boy (pufing away)-Thats none
of your business.
Policeman-Where do you live?
Small boy-That's none of your bus
mess either.
Policeman shall follow you home If
you refuse to tell me.
Small boy-Do, and just won't you get
talking to from my father-that's all.
We are Americans, and Americans always
do as they please.
And this miniature edition of Yankee
Doodle walks off in triumph, his hands
in the pockets of his span-long over
coat, and his cigarette between his teeth.

ARRESTED FOR PERJURY.
The Canadian Premier, Sir John A. Mac.
donald, Arrested at a Wedding-Con-
siderable Interest In the Matter Be-
cause OF the Prominence of the Pris-
ouer-The Facts.

TORONTO, Ont, April 24,-Rt. Hon.
Sir John A. Macdonald, prime minister
of Canada, arrived in Toronto Sunday
night to attend his sons wedding yester-
day to Miss Van Koughnet, of this city.
In the morning Gen. Butt Hewson
swore out a summons before a magis-
trate, charging the premier with per-
jury. just before the gen.
eral elections in 1875, at which
Sir John and his party were
returned to POWER, Hewson alleges that
hewas engaged to write campaign pamph-
letf, the consideration being 5000 in
cash and civil service position, should
Sir John be successful, worth 50, 500 per
year. llewsou further alleges that only
81, 600 OF the money was paid; that Sir
John repudiated further payment and
totally ignored the pro mise OF position.
Several actions were brought against the
premier by Hewson since then to com
pei him to fulfill his contract. All of
them, however, were deci led in favor of
the defendant. At one of the trials in
Ottowa, in March 1882, Sir John swore
to certain aft lavits IN connection with
the suits which Gen. Hewson claimed
was perjury. He made an attempt to
have a sun mons issued at Ottawa for Sir
John to appear before the courts on
that charge, but he could not
get magistrate to swear
one out. Accordingly lie waited till Sir
John arrived here, when he was success
ful. The summons was served this even
ing during the welding festivities by the
chief of police and is made return
able to-day. Gen. Hewson was in the
engineer corps of the confederate army
and spent mnch Of bis time in the
south.

SLEEPY MUICAHY.
Cleveland Has n Muicahy Named Mathew
Who Falls Asleep Very ReadiIy-Sixty
Four Hours Spent sin the Arms
Morphe us''-A Strange Case.

CLEVELAND, April 26.-.This city is
not behind other cities IN curiosities-
natural or otherwise. There lives in
st. CLAIR Street young man, to all out
ward appearances the same as other
people, who is afflicted from time to time
with attacks OF Somuolence, which last
from eight to sixty five hours. The
young man, Mathew Mulcahy by name.
lives at No. 50 st. Clair Street, and Is a
sober, industrious person. He is Il
years OF age and is employed at present
by Worswick d Co. His sister, who
was questioned with regard to the mat
ter, said: "Mattie, SIS we call him, has
been subject TO these spells for
almost three years. OF course
we were much alarmed at the
appearance Of the first attack,
and Immediately summoned medical as
sistance. Remedies were administered,
but with no effect. He finally arose
from his protracted sleep and seemed to
be az we'll as ever. On the second ap-
pearapG3 of the malady he slept for thirty
house. After that his health was not
very good, aud tho spells would appear
more frequent. About the 4th of July,
1881, l think, he had his worst spell,
and DR.. Capener wss called. He was at
a loss TO account for the strange attic
ton. Matte is a great lover of books
and never enters the house without pick
ing up paper or some kind of reading
matter. He is also very fond of animals,
and Viii fight for them when they are
abused. Outside the house he always APP
pears happy, and will sing and whistle
while at his work, but as soon as he en-
ters the house, all this passes away, and
he is very quiet and reserved While
persons outside may speak freely to him
on the subject of his strange ailment,
we dare not even mention it in his pres
ence. He is at present at Elyria, where
he is attending to some work for the firm
by which he is employed, and will re-
main there two or three weeks. Mother
is very much worried about him."
DR.. Capener, who was asked for an ex-
planatlon of the young mans malady,
said: CT was first called to attend young
Mulcahy about the I'd of July, 1881.
He was then asleep, and he did not
awake for sixty five hours. He was ex-
tremely cold, and it was impossible to
awaken him. H opened his eyes once,
but said nothing and did not seem to
recognize anybody or anything. His
SKIN was very dark, and the eyebsIls
contracted to a painful degree. l
next waited Uoon him the 26th of the
same month, and the spell lasted two
days. On September % | was again
called, and ftom this sleep he did not
iully recover until the 28th On awak
ening from these sleeps his pulse was
very slow ard he was very nervous and
slightly deli. Gus. treated the case by
leeching, locs depletion and nerve ton
les, and recommended cod sponge baths.
1t is a case the like of which has never
come under my observation during my
long practice, and is one which it is not
in the power Of any physician to faith
ON. In other respects young Mulcahy
is healthy, industrious young man of
excellent habits"

A Russian Veteran.

Among the persons recently presented
to the emperor of Russia at Gatschina
was an old veteran of SO, from Travaste-
bus, in Finland, who received a
gold coin from the hands of
the Empress Catherine H., at
IL years of age, and wears the medal of
Alexander l., for the war of 1912. He
was taken prisoner ~ the French at
Moscow, and was personally iLterrogat-
ed by the great Napoleon. The car
took great interest in the old mans ac-
count of the burning of Moscow and
afterward introduced him to the empress
and her children. His majesty also gra-
ciously accepted hls present of several
very ancient coins and volume of old
documents.

The Meteor a Failure.
[FrOm the Chicago Tribune. ]

Modern invention is a great thing, but
it sometimes fails. The novel steamer,
the Meteor, about which the New York
papers have printed column or SO every
few days for the last six months, is a
case in point. This craft is like nothing
n the heavens above, or the earth be-
cath, or the waters under the earth. It
has no masts, no sails, no rigging, but a
dome-shaped deck and an engine that
was to do wonders. The Meteor was to
cross the Atlantic in four or five days
like a meteor, in fact. But the long and
short of it is, that the wonderful engine
is wonderful failure, and, it has been
discovered, must be replaced by engines
OF common build, even at the cost of a
day or two in point of speed.

Gently descended upon house in Altoo-

inefficient. 1t is true it knocked an in
mate of the house senseless, but he
quickly recovered his senses and found
himself not seriously injured. The light

ran down his leg to the knee, where it
forked, making two distinct marks from
the knee to the foot. His son, an inva-
lid, was knocked down by the shock,
but received no injury. A fve-pound
can of powder that was IN the room, ex-
ploded, and this did considerable damage
to the house and furniture.

sembly gazed with awed eyes at the
spectral figure. In his hand he held s.
small book, and in gentle, insinuatins
voice he made them write therein their
names. A stampede occurred, and the
crowd fell, rolled, crawled until they got
out of doors. Nothing could convince
them that they did not see his Satanic
Majesty in person, and a genuine revival
of religion promises to flourish among
the terror-stricken people. One, stead
er-minded than the rest, remained be-
hind long enough to see him empty the
contents of brandy demijohn down his
throat and then vanish into space with
demoniacal laugh. The man who're pre-
sented the devil will find it safe to con-
ceal his identity at least until the SIN
ners are all converted.

sons, where he has 'pent the winter with
his sister-in- law, Mrs. Belcher. About
the 1st of January his eyes became in
famed through exposure to the glare of
the sun and ice while taking long daily
drives, and for weeks thereafter he was
confined to the house, unable to read or
write, and without other diversion than
conversation. This confinement soon
told upon his general health, and his
old trouble, insomnia, returned upon
him. He is now considerably better,
though far from well.
