INSANITY Of the Actor 16ccoiloush:

Chicago Special: The actor was not informed
that all his engagements had been cancelled.
He was simply told that he would not play in
Chicago any more Under the impression that
he would play in Detroit as understood, he
took carriage and drove to the depot Mr..
Brooks followed him and induced him to get
into a carriage, and he was driven back to the
hotel TWAS necessary to use force to prevent
his going out again, and struggling desperately,
Mccullough was taken to his room. In the
struggle Manager Brooks received a Sc
we're blow on the head from the actors cane.
He is in fact practically prisoner in his room
under the surveillance of Pinkerton detectives
who use every available ruse to amuse him
and distract him from his determination to go
to Detroit, which would have been the next
point in his tour, and physical force is only
employed when absolutely necessary Opiates
have been administered from time to time, and
he is now quiet, and his friends hope for good
results from his rest. After he had been forci-
bly, taken to his room, he took part in game
of cards, and soon wanted to leave the room.
Persuasion failing, detective barred his way,
when he flew into a rage, seized a cane and
felled the officer to the floor senseless, with a
cash several inches long in his scalp. Others
then rushed in and over powered him.

London and Paris say that they have
at last solved this problem. After ex-
perimenting with wooden pavements for
years, the English capital gave them up
as failure. About ten years ago, how
ever, it tried new system of wooden
pavements-or, rather, combination
of wood and stone-which did very
well. The stone foundation was made
of concrete, cement, gravel and sand,
and stretched in an arch from curb to
curb, readily supporting the traffic that
rolled over it. Wooden blocks were
laid upon this as cushion for the horses
feet and the ears of the public, and
held together by asphalt. The new
pavement gradually won it's way to
popular favor in London, and it is now
essentially the pavement of that city.
In the last ten years fifty-three miles of
it have been laid, all of which is in good
condition, and gives complete satisfac-
ton. Indeed, London is so enthusiast
tic over it that all of it's streets are to
be thus paved-New Orleans Times

Mrs. Culpepper's Message.

Mr.. Culpepper started down town at
5 o'clock this morning to look at the
opening up of his business. Before he
went away he laughed and talked with
his wife, who appeared to be in un.
usually good spirits. About 7 o'clock
Mr.. Culpepper returned to breakfast
and Immediately went into the room
where his wife lay. Her sister, who
had been with her, had just left the
room. Mr.. Culpepper spoke to his
wife and she gave him every indication
that she knew what he said but could
not speak. Mr.. Culpepper hurriedly
sent for physician, and at the same
time, with other members of the family,
did all that could be done for his wife.
She made signs that she wanted pen
Gil and paper. She took them and
wrote before the eyes of her agonized
husband her last expression: keep
the children with you" The pencil
and paper fell from her hands and she
fell back dead. She died peacefully and
to all appearances without the least pain.

Death Before A Camera.

had him in the chair. the iron clamps
behind his ears and the camera gum
aimed at his gray head. He was quite
nervous about something and asked me
to wait. L want my picture drawed off

tintype of young man from his pock
ct. The same pose like, you know
he said, as he told me that it was his
son who had been killed at Stone River.
He was dear good boy, he was said
the old man, with weak voice and
sigh-'and I'll soon be with him.

held in his hand the dead boys picture.

barrassment. In thirty seconds I said,
That will do Henever moved. You

and held the precious tintype as if
wrapt in thought. Thinking that he
was deaf, l touched him on the should

Why is it so few of our farmers have ice
houses? Here in town private ice houses are
quite common, but to find one in the country is
the exception. Why is it? Suppose in some
instances you do have to bring your ice and
sawdust from distance, you have teams and
the work only comes once a year. If the good
farmer is interrogated on the subject you will
usually find that he is going to build an ice
house next winter The winter comes all right

Bank Hours in London.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

There are altogether, say, 5000 bank
clerks employed in the joint stock and
private banks of London. If the agita-
ton in favor of earlier closing of banks
on Saturdays were ultimately success
full, it would entail an uncompensated los
to the banks collectively of 5000 hours
clerical work per week. At shillings
per hour the loss in money would $500
per week, or EGG, 900 per annum. Why
should the banks give up tins large
sum yearly? That is the bankers ar
gument in reality, although they pre-
fer to ignore the agitation. and say as
little as possible about it, All the same
number of city men, such as brokers,
solicitors, etc.. every summer feel the
irksome necessity of hanging about
well into Saturday afternoon on the
watch for stray clients, who, if the
banks closed earlier, would themselves

Troy, N Y, Special: The coachman boom has

married Miss Emma Babcock, the niece of Will
liam J. Simmons, a wealthy resident of that
city. The marriage is still unknown to Mr..
Simmons who is out of town and it was not re-
vealed to any one except the interested parties.
For years past Mr.. Simmons has treated his
niece, who Is an orphan, as daughter, and it
was generally understood that she would inherit
the bulk of his property. Bartholomew is a
medium sized man, thirty years old, and while
not what is called handsome, would pass
for good looking when dressed up" He had
been employed by MI. Simmons four months,
and says that he loved Miss Babcock before the
Morosini elopement, but did not dare tell her
SO until he had ventured one or two remarks in
jest in regard to recent events. The encour-
agement he received led him to declare his pas
sion. It was reciprocated, and they were
married by German minister of this city last
Friday evening. Miss Babcock is handsome
brunette, nineteen years of age. Now that the
secret is out, Bartholomew is afraid of the
row that he says Simmons will make when he
returns to Troy, and the couple are making ar
rangements to leave the city.
