"Conplamt was made before Esquire Budd
on Saturday that JS infer S. T 4ylOr, auctiOneer,
aud serving for several terms in the capacity OF
Deputy Coroner, had made threats against the
life OF young lady. Mss Emma Messck resi-
ding in the same part Of the town, and She ap.
pealed to the law for personal protection. H.
was accordingly taken before Esquire Budd aud
after hearing and in default Of $500 bail was
taken by constable Weldon to Jail. Tae facts
brought out in the hearing Indicate a streak OF
insanity as al ctiug his purposes in regard to
Miss Messck while he is entirely rational on oil
other subjects. He has for sometime conceived
the singular idea that shs possessed range
light machine (sach VIC presume as are now used
to pilot the Delaware rvsr) by the use Of which
two miles awsy she could rea the secrets OF his
life, What he mad dons ia the past aad what he
would do in the future, aNd what was his special
torment, this ght was turned on him ths most
Of the tim. She would THUS appear to him
sometimes in his room, then suspended in the
air, occasionally talking TO him and telling him
things that were narrowing to his peace Of miJd
until he felt like nidng himself Of the object
that haunted him day and night, and hence the
threat to take her life. We do not hear that
there was any cause why she more than anyone
else should have been selected for such a strange
halluciation as she had bare speaking aequain
tance with him. lew hours alter Mrs. Taylor
went down to Dover and secured bail from iuAu
entail friends and Nc. Taylor was back agaa on
Sunday. On Monday morning Mss Messek
went again TO the officers, but under the eircum-

whole profitable. While they make no

Crsameries turn out butter OF unliorm
crade and excellent in quality, whlle no

Perhaps the most acceptable therory To-.
day is the one which places the origin OF
the trouble in the inner ear. The ear con-
sists Of three parts! the outer oil these runs
in as far as the drum, the middlepaFt Is in,
side Of the drum, and contains the chain
Of ear. bones; while the inner ear Is COM
plicated affair, containing the essential
organ Of bearing.
As far as we are concerned, the inner ear
is q membranous bag filled with fluid, and
situated in the solid bone. From the back
part Of this bag run out three semicircular
tubes communicating at both their
ends with the bag or vestibule. These run
in three different planes, and are lined
with ,hair-llke nerye-6laments, which are
much more abundant and more sensitive
at the anterior part Of the tubes, The
tubes are filled with liquid in which float
little calcareous. particles, the otoliths.
These tubes are known as the semicircular
canals. It was difficult to see what con-
nection with the sense Of hearing these
canals could possibly have, and some time
sgo 1t was noticed that injuries to these
impaired the sense Of hearing In no way,
but caused most curious effects In the Loss
OF equilibrium.

Romance or a singer.


Strange how stories start. There was
one which went the rounds about Miss
Kelloggs engagement to Mr.. Whitney, Of
Philadelphia. While she knows Mr..
Whitney very well and found him agree.
able enough, she had no more idea Of
marrying him than she had Of marrying
the Lounger on the Avenue, the Ahkoon-
ed Of Swat, or Pope Leo y. Being 90 SEN
sible and prudent woman, Miss kellogg
does not incline to matrimony. II !
might be permitted to guess upon such q
delicate subject as a lady's fancy, I should
say that the gentleman who pleased Miss
kellogg most some years ago 10 now the

newspaper, who Is still unmarried. fancy
there is dainty little romance in a quar-

patient, and persistent study, and who, al.
though her career, has blended the true
artistic and the lady in one.

How Rum Got the Better of Young
ILf.H.s. Hero.

How Rum Got the Better OF . Young
Ln. Hero.
N J. Letter 8
Nan. the newsboy, Is hero, whose fame
is as wide as the country. Eightyears age
he was selling newspapers in the streets Of
this city, like hundreds Of other ragged,
unkempt, untutored lads. These active
and yociferons peddlers have their indi-
vidual grounds for business, as rule, and
Mans lay along the river front With
water 30 handy he naturally became a
swimmer, and one day, seeing girl fall
off q wharf, he leaped after her and saved
her life. This was great thing for the
girl, but would have been OF no account for
Nan, save for the fact that 1t was described
fully in the newspapers. Nan was de-
lighted to see his name in print, and
watched closely for an opportunity to get 1t
there again. Within few days he saved a
second person, and scarcely dried his
clothes before reporting II at the newspa-
per office. During six months or 80 his
deeds as q liyesayer were numerous, so
much 80 that detractors questioned their
genuineness, and they found their way to
publication only after the reporter had
made thorough investigation. But every
case bore this scrutiny, and nothing nearer
to fraud was developed than q mere pos.
sibility that several rescued boys had, out
Of consideration for Mans career, volun.
tarily dropped into the water. A medal
was presented. to Nan by the American
Humane society, he was made to figure in
cheap fiction, and for time was kept at
the head OF regular life-saving corps.
Competition arose, however, and 80 many
boys were constantly on the lookout that a
body could scarcely splash before 1t was
yanked out OF the water. Rival claim
ants Of glory would appear in many in.
stances, and at length the city editors OF
the daily journals came to regard
the whole subject as nuisance.
With this way to fame closed, the
boys gave up the pursuit Of drowning per.
sons. But Nan, like most pioneers in any
line OF action, remained hero in popular
estimation, and when, on getting old
enough, he applied for position on the
police force, he was put into blue and
brass without any hesitationl Almost as
speedily he disgraced the uniform. Success
had turned his head, and rum completed
his decentralization. Several Of his drunken
otfenses were overlooked, but when his
captain found him patrolling zig gag from
doorstep to curb, and lying down 10 rest in
the gutter, he was dismissed from the service.
That did not end his connection with the
police, though it changed the relationship
to that Of q frequent prisoner. ] saw him
yesterday. He was more raggad than he
had been as q newsboy. The careless lad
Of few year, ago had becomea hummer.
That Is what heroism has done for Nan, the
newsboy. The newspapers made him, and
rum unmade him,
