PHYSICIANS PUZZLED.

A singular insta nee of peculiar
nervous affiiction was related to a
Louisville Courier Journal reporter
a few days ago. The patient, Miss
Ella =, is young lady residing
on Magnolia avenue, near Second
street. For some time she has been
afflicted with a slight attack of rheu-
matte pains, and has been generally
IN delicate health. Recently she
grew sudden ly worse, and was pros
trated with an attack of mental cho-
rea, which presents some remarkable
features. The patient retains full
consciousness of all that transpires !;
recognizes the faces of the members
of her family and her physician and
her friends, and yet the words she
utters are almost entirely beyond her
control. For instance, in attempting
to say anything, she may express
what is directly opposite to her mean
ing. One expression is continually in
her head, and is repeated over and
over again, the patient being unable
to avoid saying it. At times she gives
utterance to a low whining noise,
often initiating the barking Of dog;
but more frequently gives utterance
to a shrill scream, not loud, but start
ling. All day yesterday she was sing
Ing, and, when attempting to speak,
her words would follow the tune, or
assume ryme, which would be re-
peated over and over. She seems
also to have lost control of the pitch
of her voice, and one part of SEN
tence may be made in IA whisper, the
other in almost a scream.
A convulsive hinging about of the
hands and arms is another symptom,
and in this she manifests surprising
strength. The action, like her words,
seems to be entirely involuntary,
hardly ever being under her control.
She frequently slaps the faces of her
attendants, and has manifested dis
position to bite her near relatives,
though not in violent manner.
When spoken to, it is evident that she
understands clearly all that is said;
but it is only with the utmost effort
that she can make even a short intel
hgible answer.
The case is very singular one,
and it seems to be the elimination of
series of low nervous troubles. 1t
is allied to chorea. only in this in
stance the loss of control is chiefly
manifested i'll the vocal organs. Her
sleep is fitful and seldom exceeds
twenty minutes in duration, while the
ailment of her throat precludes the
taking of anything but liquid food.
The case is under the treatment of
Dr. Robert H. Porter, the we'll known
nervous specialist, who pronounces it
one of the most remarkable he has
ever met in the course of long
practice

but there is no good reason why all
children born of slaves should not be
proclaimed free. This is undoubtedly
the first step to take. and there are
grounds for believing that diplomatic
advice, judiciously rendered by the
English Government in that direc-
ton. might have effect. 1t has oc-
Cured to me that the extension of the
sugar industry on the coast might
also help toward removing from Mad
agascar the curse of slavery. A sugar
planter i'll Mauritius pays for the
importation of an Indian laborer, as
a preliminary outlay, a larger sum
than would suffice to purchase a
Malagassy slave. 1t might thus be
easily arranged that slaves here, by
engaging to serve for term, like the
Indian laborer. would obtain the
money wherewith to purchase their
freedom. As matter of fact, num-
bers of slaves are thus set free by Eng
llshmen, who, requiring servants,
arrange for their liberation in the
manner described; and the existing
plantations are worked, in great
measure, by slaves, who doubtless will
with their earnings eventually pur-
chase Their liberty.
After all, it ought not to be forgot
ten that, outside the province of
Imerina, Hova rule extends over but
a limited portion of Madagascar. It
is hard, for instance, on the east
coast tribes that, although probably
willing to let their lands to the for
elgners, and to increase and develop
outside commerce, they should be for
bidden to pursue that course by a
tribe in the interior to whom they do
not bear much love. And at many
points along the coast the authority
of the Hovas is represented solely by
the obstructive customs offices which
they have established, and their pro-
tecting garrisons Notwithstanding
the shortcomings of Hova rule, there
can be no doubt that the race, by
virtue of its superior intelligence and
progress in civilization, no less than
by its energy and prowess in war, is
best fitted to govern among the
Malagassy people. In travelling
through the country the superiority
of the Hovas over the ether tribes,
in every respect, seems to be most
marked. They are an interesting
people, and are, beyond doubt, capable
OF ri ing high above their present
social level. The most intelligent,
and many of the most influential
among them, are anxious to advance;
and the Government will eventually
be compelled, as when it adopted
Christianity, to keep pace with the
times. What the Hovas require above
all things is careful coaxing and judi
cious advice, rendered from a quarter
in which they have confidence

A MINSTREL MANS SAD FATE AMONG
HEINDtANS.

|. Some fo1r years ago the Sioux ON
the Dakota reservation became rest
less, and, among other suspicious
movements, fixed a date for a grand
powwow at Sun Dance. The Govern
ment at once dispatched word to
Crook, who was known by the Indians
to be in Texas, to repair in all pos
sibie haste to the Sioux country As
the Generals party on his arrival
csauntered into the council meeting,
the surprise and discontinue of the
Indians was great When the great
pipe was in due course handed to
Crook. he made fatherly but sig
ni1icantly admonitory address that
ratified oar saddled- tinted wards
still more. As he ceased an extreme,
ly fresh young chief strobe across
the floor, and, seizing the Generals
arm, felt his biceps curiously. Then,
with an expression of great contempt,
he exclaimed in the Sioux tongue:
"This cannot be the great warrior
his arm is like sguaw's!'
AT this white haired chief named
Red Cloud angrlly pushed the young
brave aside. exclaiming: "The Gray
Fox fights with his head, not his
arm"
"Then," instantly retorted the
young warrior, ''he should be called
the Gray Ram"
The. entire audience instantly fell
upon the speaker, and after a desper-
ate struggle he was bound hand
and foot and searched. Under his
moccasins were found pair of yell
low topped, toothpick shoes. and his
buckskin shirt contained an eight
carat diamond cut out of the bottom
of a goblet. He confessed to being
the end man of wrecked minstrel
troupe, who was trying to scalp his
way back to the settlements.
He was at once tomahawked by a
unanimous vote of the convention.

L he Hdustrie- -bidtfer describes as
follows Prof. Swarz's method Of pro-
DUNG the famous phosphor- copper:
A mixture of bone ash, silica and car
bon is placed in a crucicle, and upon it
a layer OF granulated copper, which is
in turn covered with the mixture
named, and the lid of the crucible is
luted On to insure the more easy
melting, some carbonate of soda and
glass may be added-or mixture of
pulverized milk glass with charcoal
and powdered coke is used for lining
and covering it. Thus. fourteen parts
of silica, eighteen of bone ash, sand
four or powdered carbon, are melted
with four parts of soda and four Of
powdered glass, stirred up with a
little gum water, and used for lining
the crucible; on this being dry, the
copper is put in and covered with the
same mass, and the whole is melted
at a bright red heat. The copper
obtained by this peculiar process
flows well, and has a reddish gray
color; it is also found to contain from
O.5O to 0.5l per cent of phosphorus
