HallucinatiOn.

tFrom the Detroit I1mes.l
aHallucination! said DR.. jerks.
@Knew man once who thought his
legs were made of glass. Lived down
East. An old, wealthy, dyspeptic bach
elor. I think the idea about his
legs was the result of dyspepsia. Any.
way he was so afraid of having his legs
broken that he cried out whenever any
one approached the bed. There was an
old doctor in the vicinity, who was half
mad himself, and this old fellow deter
mined to cure him. One day he called
and asked the old man to come out for
q drive. Of course the old fellow was
horrifed, but the doctor insisted, and
he at last consented to go. A bed was
made up in the doctors conveyance,
and the dyspeptic carried out and ten
derly laid in it. They drove off and
about, until over hill little distance
off they saw the stage coming. Then
the doctor by q dextrous twist of the
lines. overturned the buggy and. tum-
bled the old man out into the middle OF
the road. OF course he cried out that
he was done for, but the doctor righted
his buggy and drove off, leaving him
squirming in the middle of the road,
and quite unable to move, owing to his
glass legs. Suddenly he was alarmed
by shout, and saw the stage come tear
ing down the slope, heading straight for
him. He gesticulated, but the doctor
had fixed things with the driver, and
the stage came right along. Well, the
old fellow stood it until the stage was
only few feet away. Then he jumped
up and ran-ran clean back to town
and was never bothered with glass legs
again

fFrom the New York SUM-

Henry C1ispen is middle-aged Ger
man laborer, and was employed until
recently in sugar factory, but was
thrown out Of work by the factory
suspending. He lives with his wife and
three children in poorly furnished top
floor room on Attorney Street, New
York. His youngest child is girl,
who was ushered into the world just be-
fore the sugar house closed, and when
work was so slack that her mother had
to toll energetically at washing and
ironing to make both ends meet. Still
she found time to manufacture lot of
baby clothes. She worked the ends of
the sleeves beautifully, but her womanly
solicitude was wasted, for the first discov-
cry the doctor made when he examined
the new born baby was that it had no
arms, and a further investigation showed
that it had no legs. The father gave
way to despair and readily accepted the
superstitious theory Of the poor people
Of the neighborhood that the child was
sent as precursor of bad luck, though
what worse luck they could have than
they had already experienced the wife
philosophically remarked she found it
difficult to conceive. Meanwhile the
baby didn't seem to mind il at all. It
grew fat and fair and saucy, and last
night, until its wrappings were removed,

THE BUZZARDS AGAIN.
Eighteen Robberies Inside of a
Week.
Their Operations Lead TO q Grand
Chase-One Of tho Gang
CapluHeds

A dispatch from Lancaster, Pa, of
the 29th, relates the following: "The
posse in pursuit of the thieves who
robbed Shiher's jewelry store at Bow
Evansville, last night, supposed to be the
Buzzard gang, came upon them at the
edge of swamp, this afternoon, after q
chase Of twenty miles. The thieves
were four in number-Abe Buzzard,
Joe Buzzard and two others. They
were fred upon. Finally Joe Buzzard,
cut off from the rest, was captured and
lodged in jail. Since Wednesday night
last, eighteen robberies have been COM
mitted in this Immediate vicinity, in
Guiding goods ranging all the way from
preserves to horses and wagons. Last
night a horse and wagon was stolen
from Bowmansville, after the thieves
had got$1 900 worth of jewelry from D.
B. Shiffer. The police force of this
city were notified to be on the lookout
for the stolen goods, and fifteen or
twenty men of the vicinity, armed to
the teeth and mounted on good horses,
started early this morning for the mount
ain, firmly resolved to capture the out
laws or drive them from their hiding
places. As they rode, one by
one from their Efarm houses
they joined the pursuing party
until nearly fifty sturdy. men were in
the avenging force. The pursuing
party, comprising members of the C@r-
norman and Honeybrook Horsethief
Detective Association, all armed to the
teeth, some On horseback and some on
foot, followed the trail of the outlaws
twenty four miles, where they overlook
and fred three volleys at them, but
without effect. The thieves made for
Krutz's swamp, a tangled wilderness
four or five miles in dimensions, and on
the edge of it Joe Buzzard wascaptured,
after resistance, and was disarmed of
a new 32.calibre revolver. Abe and his
companions plunged into the swamp
and pursuit there was useless, as night
was approaching, but the sturdy men
resolved to stay on guard all night.
Joe was brought to this city this even
ing and was taken to the prison from
which he was released from four-year
term on October 81, last. He was
searched and placed in an iron-clad cell.
He denied all knowledge of the recent
robberies, and said he had been at his
mothers in the mountain region. He had
on new suspenders, shirt, stockings not
yet soiled, and which it is thought will
be recognized as part of the goods
recently stolen. The farmers have or.
ganized themselves into vast vigilance
committee, and are resolved to capture
the outlaws or kill them"
