A North Carolina Story.

One of the most remarkable maladies
known to the medical profession of this
state is now puzzling the doctors here.
This is that OF A. NJ Wilhelm aged about
eighteen. II an ordinary bathing tub is
filled with ice cold water and the boys
feet placed in it, in less than six minutes
the water is made to come to a boiling
heat. The boy suffers the most intense
agony. and has to be kept in cold water
nearly all the time. As soon as one yes.
sci containing water becomes too hot for
use it is replaced by another, and the
change is continued as rapidly as the
water becomes heated. Morphine is used
in treble doses, but has but little effect
upon the patient.
He has been suffering with the remark.
able disease about month, and during
that time has consulted and been treated
by the ablest physicians in the state. It
was caused, it is thought, by being ter
ribly racked by steam engine, upon
which he got to adjust some portion OF
the machinery. The throttle valve was
in some way moved and a full head OF
steam put on. The motion Of the engine
jammed the boy SO as to derange his
nervous system and leave him in the hor-
rible condition he now finds himself. He
is to be examined by some physicians
from distance. The case is attracting
very general attention

The Tenor and the Italian Dude.

A curious instance of italian manners
and customs is reported from Milan. NJ.
Provost, the tenor at the Dal Verm Thea
ter. was at cafe with lady recently,
when he observed q young man staring
at her in the offensive way SO common
among young Italians who wish to be
considered lady killers. NJ. Provost re-
sented the offense to this extent: he
boxed the young mans ears. When the
next night NJ. Provost appeared OIL the
stage he was greeted with storm of yells
and misses. The second tenor then came
forward and expressed the hope that as
NJ. Provost was not an italian he might
perhaps be excused If he did not quite
understand Italian ways, but the audi
ence went on yelling as before. A police
officer came forward and announced that
the performance must cease and he was
hissed. The second tenor made another
attempt in vain. The police officer tried
again, but without success. Finally NJ.
Provost himself appeared and protested
that he had nos hostile feelings toward
Italy; that French and Italians had
fought side by side, and that he had only
wished to give lesson to youth who
had acted Extensively toward q lady. This
little apology was favorably received and
the representation was resumed.-Pall
Mall Gazette.

The cure of the agricultural troubles
in England will gradually be worked ont
by the elimination of the tenant farmer,
except on the very great estates, thus
leaving two classes instead of three to
live on the land. Already these proprie-
tors who are personally farming many
acres of their own unsaleable land, ex-
press themselves as we'll satisfied with
the result. The iaborer will necessarily
rise in Importance with the departure of
the farmer, will probably obtain an acre
or-two of land and will find his condition
materially improved. America and Aus
tralia will benefit by the advent of the
tenant farmer, bringing with him skill,
character and little capital.

An Unfortunate Waltz.

At the last State ball at st. Petersburg
the Empress honored young officer by
allowing him to waltz with her. The
gentleman was reputed famous dancer,
but, somehow, on this occasion his skill
seemed to have deserted him. The EN-
press and he fell heavily to the floor.
Thereon the Emperor ran across the
room and anxiously inquired from his
wife, who had risen, whether she was
hurt. The Empress replied that she had
not suffered, but she took the arm of her
husband and went for a time to retir-
ing room allotted to her. Meanwhile the
chagrin of the unhappy officer was visi
ble to all the guests. By and by the
Empress returned, and. seeing the dis.
tress of her late partner, went to him
and insisted on his dancing another
waltz with her. This time there was NO
accident, and the unlucky incident was
forgotten in the gracious kindness of the
popular Czarina.
