An Extraordinary Scene.

An extraordinary scene was witnessed
at the Limerick Qreland) Railway ter
minus the other evening. As several
trains were about taking their departure
tor Dublin. Ennis and other destinations,
and the platform was crowded with
passengers and their friends, farmer
was driving number Of COWS past the
station, when one of the animals broke
away, and got into the terminus.
Startled by the Kissing of the engine
and the ringing of bells, the COW be-
came furious, and ran around the sta
ton, scattering the affrighted passen-
gers, knocking down several, and more
or less injuring not few. For nearly
an hour the maddened animal could not
be dislodged from the platform. and
the utmost confusion prevailed. Ulti-
mately side gate was opened. and the
COW rushed wildly out, overturning two
vehicles in her career, and making a
desperate drive with her horns at car
ter, who had q very narrow escape.
Rushing up Carey's Road. a short dis
lance from the railway station, the ami
NAL came against the door OF house
and smashed the woodwork. A num-
Der of men arrived on the scene and Sc
cured the animal, now well-nigh ex-
hausted, before she could do further
mischief. Dublin Times.

Freaks of Insanity.

Even the physicians thought he had
lost the power Of speech. One day he
caught two of his fingers in washing

mangled. To the astonishment Of
everybody who heard him he exclaimed:
by the great and jumping Moses, =
devil is better than an inventor" That
was three years ago, and he has no,
spoken since. Another patient. boy
in the same institution, is lightning
calculator. and the most intricate prob
lens are solved by him in fractions of .
minute. The boy believed that his head
is filed with little blocks with figuree
upon them, and that they instantly fall
into different positions and work out tlle
problems. He thinks his brain. in fact,
Is . multiplication table. His insanity
seems pardonab1e, for only few sane
men compete with him as mathema-
tician. Every day he soaks his head in
water to prevent the blocks from rat

to put into his ears so that the imagin-
airy squares will slip upon each other

An Ohio man is the inventor of uni
cycle which promises, when fully
perfected, to astonish the world by its
utility and the speed of which it will be
capable. The vehicle consists of wheel
twelve feet ten inches in diameter,
which gives circumference of forty
feet. The center of the wheel is pierced
by q shaft. into which the spokes ex-
tapd from the tire at a considerable
angle. Suspended from the center of
the shaft in the space between the
spokes is the seat to be occupied by the
operator. In propelling the wheel the
operator works treadle that is so ad-
justed as to utilize his full weight in
ascending hills or traversing heavy
roads. On each end Of the shaft hangs
IN iron rod that extends to within q
few inches of the ground. By an in
genious contriyance the lower end of
these rods-which are denominated
..safety rods"-can be shifted at the
pleasure OF the operator to positions
near to or some distance from the tire
Of the wheel. The regulation speed
will, however, be two revolutions per
second, which Is easily attained. And
will represent rate Of almost . mile .
