Surprised Ladies.

One of the most singular, most amusing,
and at the same time, for the victims, most
annoying robberies, occurred in our city
Saturday. Two elderly ladies on Michigan
street were looking at the circus procession
pass by. So intent were they in gazing upon
the dazzling pageant, that not only their eyes
but their mouths were wide open, and while
in this awe-struck condition, they were each
startled by the slap of rough hand over
their mouths Ofcourse they were mad, and
looked around with great Indignation to see
who could be guilty of such rude act, and it
was not until they attempted to speak, in or
der to properly express their wrath, that they
discovered their false teeth were gone. The
thieves had looked into their wide open
mouths, and saw that the plates containing
the teeth were of gold, and they wanted
them. South Bend Tribune.

who has done so much in making history, is
now taking hand in writing history. In
a letter to Charleston paper he points
out errors in the recent articles of Gener-
ais Johnston and Imboden touching the
first battle of Manassas. or Bull Run, and
claims that the Hampton Legion. 600
strong. which he commanded. arrested the
victorious columns of Sherman and Reyes,
who were driving the Confederate forces
back. and that the legion so delayed the
federal advance as to enable Confederate
re endorsements to be brought up. If he
is correct. he saved Stonewall Jackson,
giving him the opportunity to form the
Virginians who afterward stood like a

from utter defeat.

State for aid in preserving order. The
strikers have gone so far rs to threaten to

there are men willing to take the places OF

dence that their demand is one that can
not be enforced by legitimate means.

order that he might see his wife once

he could live but few hours. With
calm courage he heard the verdict, and
called all his wonderful force TO his aid
in the struggle TO live until his wife ar
rived.
"Tell me exciting stories" he said TO
the boys around ais bed, "for I must
make this run before she comes"
And the boys did laugh aud tell big
stories, poor fellows, when their sto ut
hearts were filled with sad regret. The
hours sped rapidly by; the merry voice
Of the conductor grew fainter, but his
courage never faltered.
A telegram from his wife In answer
TO Que sent her few hours before, was
brought into the room and read. She
was coming on special train, the road
was cleared for her passage, and with
lightning speed her train was annibi-

Insanity i'm the United states.

Statistics recently Issued show that in
1865 the number OF insane persons In
the United States was only 23,042. Five
years later it had reached 81 ,432, and by
1880 treatment was required for 9l,959
lunatics. The increase in insanity dur
ing the ten years from 1870 70 1880 was
nearly l50 per cent, while that Of the
total population was only about 20 per
cent. But these figures do not repre-
sent the natural increase, as during the
above period large number Of insane
persons, previously concealed, were
brought into public notice by more
thorough investigation. Apart from
several large county asylums in the
United States, there are eighty State
and forty private institutions for the
care OF insane, with proper capacity
for about 40, 900, but containing 50, 1872,
thus leaving some 5000 lunatics to be
cared for elsewhere. The proportion Of
insane is greater in New England, but
the increase has been most rapid In the
Western States. In the State Of New
York there are thirty-fve institutions
for The care Of these unfortunate people,
accommodating IL ,343 patients, while II
is said that there are 1000 provided for
at home.
