HE WAS DRUNK.
Man Cuts Himself to Shreds While
Crazed by Rum.


The pedestrians in Hoboken were
startled Sunday night by man who
dashed through the streets wildly
waving bottle in the air and uttering
the most unearthly yells. In Garden
street the man attacked two young men
who barely escaped his fury. He next
assaulted a man who happened to come
in his way. Finally he turned his at
tention towards himself. Breaking the
bottle against a curbstonG, he gashed
his wrists and arms in terrible man
ncr, the flesh literally hanging from the
bone in shrcds. In this butchered con-
dition he rang the bell OF Rev. Peter
Erich, pastor of the Lutheran Church,
at Eighth and Hudson streets. On see
ing the clergyman he descended the
stoop and again started on his wild ca
reer BY this time, however, the town
was thoroughly aroused. -Four officers
found the crazy fellow, who proved to
be Frederick Wissenmeyer, a shoe
maker, living at No. 1j4 Garden street
He was seated on the sidewalk watch
ing the blood drop from his wounds.
His fury had been spent and he quietly
submitted to arrest. County Physician
Heller dressed the wounds and exam
ined Wisscnmeyer' mental condition.
He had been drinking for several days
and was on the verge of delirium ire
mems, A copious dose of choral and
other sedatiyes brought him back to his
senses. He will be arraigned for trial.

The Russian Stove.

The Russian stove is made of fire re-
sisting porcelain, is always ornamental,
and frequently highly artistic, hand
some article of furniture. Internally it
is divided by thick fire-clay walls into
several upright chambers of flues, usu-
ally six in number. Some dry firewood
is lighted in Il suitable fire place, and is
supplied with only sufficient air to eff
feet combustion, all of which enters be-
low and passes through the ilues. The
productions of combustion being thus
undiluted with unnecessary cold air, are
very highly heated, and in this state
pass up and down through the different
compartments. At the end of this long
journey they have giy.nup most of their
heat to the twenty-four heat absorbing
surfaces of the lire-clay walls Then all
communication with the chimney is cut
of; the fire is put out, having done its
work, and the interior of the stove has
bottled up its caloric ready for emission
into the room, and, passing through the
non-conducting walls of the stove, is
radiated into the apartments.-IhtlddeL-

lntemperance and Crime in France.

DR.. Baron, French writer. in a re-
cent work, 'Pauperism and Poverty"
shows that the most potent cause of in
digence in France is drink, and that, in
fact, it produces more pauperism than
all other causes put together. To those
who have regarded France as a
temperate country this statement may
be surprising, but DR.. Baron further
furnishes statistical proof Of its truth
Taking the Republic at large there is
one cabaret, or public house, for every
10G people: while there is one savings
bank for every 2S,5O0, and one benefit
society for every "a, 900. 1t is estimated
chat the average expenditure of q
superior French workman in drink and
gambling (and mainly in drink an
nually is $40, though DIR. Baron thinks
this an eXaggeratiOn. 1t is interesting
TO note that he combats the notion that
want leads to drunkenness He holds
that improyidcnce and seltishness are
the principal causes of the drinking
habit. Crime follows closely on the
heels Of drunkenness, as shown by the
statistics, and both are directly related
to the number of public houses.

safe, but the shop is empty; | think it is
the right moment to fail

But l want a plausible preteXt for

brains; think the matter over tonight
and tomorrow morning"
The clerk promised to think it care
fully over. On entering the shop next
morning. the grocer found the safe open,
the money gone, and in its place a note,
which ran as follows: II have taken
the two thousand francs, and am off to
America 1t is the best excuse you can
give to your creditors. "--Argonaut.

In 1872 the eldest son Of Prince Fred
erich Of Palm the young Count Alfred,
then studying at the Bonn University,
ran away from home because his family
would not allow him to marry a young
girl, we'll brought up, and whose pa
rents were comfortably off, but of COM
p~aratively low birth. For a whole year
the Prince of Palm remained ignorant
of his sons whereabouts, and was only
informed last September that he was
working as anavvy on the Illinois rail-
way "a few miles from Chicago. He had
been recognized 10y another NAVY of the
name of Schneider, who had served in
Germany in the same regiment of Hus-
sars as the young prince. Shneider
wrote to the young Prince to inform
him that the count and himself occupied
the same lodging at Chicago. The
Prince Immediately sent the manager
of his estate to bring back ths prodigal
son, who refused to return unless he
was allowed to marry the lady for whose
sake he had left heme and country.
The Princes consent to the match has
been granted.-London Truth.

Ruskin on the PLATFORM.

The London correspondent OF the
Chicago Herald gives this picture Of
Ruskin on the platform
The manner is nervous-I hardly
know whether self-conscious or only
characterized by bonhomie, by which !
mean Mr.. Ruskin shuffied into the room
and up to the desk, looking here and
there and everywhere all at once,
fumbling his big, Uneven edged MS,
and began straightway to read without
any salutation to chairman or audience.
Had he not been John Ruskin, my
hero, my idol, really / should have
said. What q funny little mani He
began to play with his g~old-bowed spec
tacles. His pronunciation sounded like
Scotch and cockney made into hash.
1t was as broad as Dundee Scotch, and
as indistinct betimes- as Belgrayia cock
ney. He seldom could pronounce an
sr.' Nine times out of ten his r. lost
itself in q w sound. Still his pronun-
citation was scholarly. He stood well in
the Same spot, but his body and hands
were constantly in motion. But the
distinguished speakers make up was
something wonderful. The coat that
almost shrouded HIM was the old coat
my father used to wear when ! was q
chiId--so young / can only indistinctly
remember il now. Yes. the very iden-
tical coat. I was glad to see that ever
dear old coat once more. Shall i ever
see it again? The trousers and waist
cort were gray and of Scotch tweed"

some :rraits Of the vireinian.

The whole tradition nf fha oen---
unites In a vast protest against hurry.
If you meet your neighbor on the road
on horseback, though You had met every
day for a week, he would look on YOU
as q curmudgeon did you not stop and
"chat q while" If, on a summer day.
you stop at a roadside farmhouse for q
drink of water, you will be fortunate. if
the owner is a speaking acquaintance,
to get away within an hour, and eonsid-
cradle hardening will be required TO
resist the entreaty to g lite, Sir. lite"
that follows Instantly on his greeting of
recognition. Rural property, where
the house stands upon the public high
way, is among this middling class con-
sidered as having something special in
that particular to recommend it. The
middle-aged or elderly proprietor Of
such an enviable location, though he has
nowadays to make his boys work, will
still sit himself upon the porch
in his shirtsleeves, with long pipe
or the less picturesque quid
between his teeth. rocking
himself to and fro in the warm summer
days. His eyes are bent always on the
dusty road that, beyond the shade Of
the acacias and the old-fashioned stray
Cling box trees which divide him from
it, leads the people Of his part of the
country to the county town. Riding
along it at slow, ambling gaits, on Tex
an saddles with long, swinging stirrups,
in big straw hats and white linen jack
cts, the neighbors go by in ones end
twos at long intervals. Each is greeted
by our venerable friend with a shout of
entreaty to "lite and set a while" The
predictions of all tempt them to COM
ply, The stronger-minded, however,
declare "they are nightly pushed for
time and must get on" Otherwise yield
to their native instinct, hitch their horses
to the fence, and relapse into hat ex-
tended and elaborate formula which, of
various kinds, according to education,
accompanies in the south the meeting

The Philadelphia Times Of Mon
day contained lengthy criticize on the
closing of the hotels in this city, giving
the result of interviews with different
gentlemen on the subject, etc. Much of
the stuff published by the Chimes" is
distorted and untrue, but the biggest lie
of all is the the statement that ninety
nine out OF every one hundred families
in this town have beer sent to their
houses. This statement is said to have
been made to the reporter OF the "Times'
by Mr.. j. X. zcigler. 1t may be that
The reporter misrepresents MIR. Zeigler.
If so we shall lie pleased to publish Mr..
Us denial. IT Mr.. Y. made this state
ment, lie knows that it is false. II there
were one half of the beer drinking init
mated there would not be temperance
sentiment enough in the town to enforce
any temperance policy.
Just MS mean and untrue is the charge
made in the ''Times" report that the
Experimenting the Superintendent
office-is at the bottom Of all the no
license trouble. The basis of this charg,
is the fact that three OF the couneilmer
who Voted for no,license, are in the en-
ploy of the railroad company. The in.
timation that the Superintendent die
tates to his employees in matters outside
of their business, is simply malicious, b,
whomsoever made.

IF the hotel keepers of this city sup
pose that the closing up of their houses
and stables, will force the Council TO give
them license, they are greatly mistaken.
So far as we hear, they have lost friends
among the drinking classes by their
course 1t is in the nature of "boycot-
ting" and our people do not intend that
these hotel keepers shall dictate in this
arbitrary manner. The card which they
published last week, insisting that their
course was not dictated by revenge but
by inability to keep their houses open
without license was granted to them, was
not in keeping with the facts. The
closing of their barns to the country
people was certainly In the nature of re-
venge, and yet it vented itself upon PEG.
pie who had nothing whatever to do with
the question at issue.
These hotel keepers pay n questionable
compliment TO tho men who certify to
the necessity Of their houses for the pub
Tic accommodation, when they applied for
license last spring. Their card, if true,
shows that their hotels are not necessary
for public accommodation, and arc only
necessary as drinking places, and there
fore their recommenders falsify. That is
what they say, in effect, in their "card. !"
Stabling has already been provided at
the Old Brewery, on Main street, where
feed can also be obtained, and it will not
be long before the inconvenience to which
tho travelling public is subjected will be
remedied by the opening of good tom
perance house, unless these landlords re-
consider this action, and open their houses
to the public.

Tho New York Eeeniag Post accuses

from the State of Arkansas and not from

sit was proved that the company deri-
we'd IRON the extension of a land grant by
Congress, which Mr.. Blaine himself had
saved by an opportune ruling in the
Speakers chair"
The Post equivocates. 1t is true that
the land grant was extended by Congress,
but to whom? Here is the point at issue.
To the railroad company Not at all,
but to the State of Arkansas, which, and
which alone, conferred it upon tho rail
road company. AS matter of fact,
therefore, Mr.. Blaine was absolutely cor
rect in his statement, and the Post Is
