alongside of business man, when the
latter remarked:

who has no feeling at all in his right

"Case of paralysis, of course" re-
piled the doctor.
sob, no, it isn't. He has been ex-
amined by some Of the most eminent
surgeons and they declare that it isn't.
If it was case ofparalysis he couldn't
move his arm you know"
"How long has it been so?"
''Over twenty years he tells me. He
says he'll pay any doctor So, 600 to re-
store the natural feeling"
"I'll see him. remarked the doctor,
and when dinner was over the two
went into the cigar store and the medi-
cal man was introduced.
"Did this thing happen all at once2"
asked the doctor.
Eyes, sir, there was no warning
whatever"
"Does the arm feel dead?"
Perfectly dead. You can stick your
knife into it without my feeling sen
sation."
That's odd. Let me feel of it,"
The doctor put out his hand, made
one grip, and then turned on his heel
and left the place, his face as red as
paint, and his gait somewhat eccentric.
1t was a wooden arm. The real one
was shot off at Gettysburg.

A sad Case OF Suicide.


PERRYvILLR, Md. June Z, 1885 -
The wife of Mr.. Reese Tay lor, residing
ut Charleston, Cecil County, Md, DOM
mitted suicide on last Saturday even
ing. Mrs. Reese went mp to North
East, (some three miles above Charles

she wished some strichnine to kill cats,
rs they had been killing her chickens.
She also secured quantity of lauda.

ing train and gave a large dose OF
laudanum TO her only child, little girl,
aged about years.
The mother then teok large dose Of
stry chime and landanum. DIR. House
keeper, OF North East, was sent for i'm
mediately, who soon arrived and saved
the little girl, but Mrs. Reese died in
great agony in about fourteen hours.
She told the doctor that she did not
wish to live, as she had nothing TO live
for. 1t is understood that Mrs. Reese's
husband Is very dissipAted, and his
drunken habits and bad treatment was
the cause of the rash act of his wife.
These are the facts 30 far as we have
been able TO gather them. This Is
another sad resntt Of the liquor traffic,
the curse of families, States and nations.
Another loving wife and unfortunate
mother was driven to madness, despair
and death by the conduct of drunken
husband. It is high time we should

The 0rigiu of the sim.

The manufacture of distilled spirits
is one of the Oldest of the arts OF Oricn.
tai civilized life, and is of such remote
antiquity that no specific date or cir
cumstance Of its origin is recorded in
history. Neither has the name OF the
inventor of the first distilling appara-
tus been handed down to us. All that
we know about it is that the Chinese
distilled alcoholic spirit from rice long
before the Christian era that from
China the art travelled west to India,
Arabia and Africa, and was finally car
ried by the Moors or Arabs to western
Europe, where it was first practiced
and laugh by Albucasis, Moorish
philosopher, in the beginning OF the
twelfth century,
When King Henry H., of England,
invaded and conquered Ireland, toward
the close of that century, the people of
that country made and used a strong
distilled liquor which they called ''us-
quebagh," or the water of lite, and this
ancient Irish name for their national
drink was finally changed and abbre-
waited into "whiskey." On the island
of Ceylon, in the Indian Ocean, the
distllation of "arrack" and other Ii
quors, from rice, sugar and the fruit of
the date palm has been carried on from
time immemorial. When Captain Cook
made his famous voyage around the
world, the natives of some Of the
Pacific Islands offered him alcoholic
liquors which they distilled from the
fermented juices of tropical plants and
vegetables. Hence, if distillinF alco-
hol is a crime, it is one in which all
the races and generations of men are
involved.

A Lucky Accident.

A Secret Service detective tells the fol-
lowing story: 1t was one thing to catch
a counterteiter and another to get hold of
his plates. To arrest and imprison a
shower of the queer was getting rid of a
dangerous man, to be sure, but yet the
gang could replace him within twenty.

In County Cork.

The diet of the Irishman in this part
| of the country is, of course, potatoes
and milk. As he himself puts it, he has
potatoes 81 times a week. In the event
of a blight, such as the historic one, the
result in certain parts of Ireland could
scarcely be less disastrous than at any
former period. II one may judge by
the phys que of its consumers the diet
requires no recommendation of the medi
cal faculty, for more stalwart race 1t
would be difficult to find. In this cor
ner of the country so long preserved, ("

Exquisite flavor. Here. also, we have the
lrishman in the typical attire to which
|caricaturists have accustomed us. To
the visitor from the other island, 1t is a
ludicrous picture to see him in tall hat,
blue tailed coat, and knee breeches at
work in his wretched plot, like philos
pher out for little recreation. 1t is not
so much the style OF his garments. how
ever, that makes their picturesqueness;
1t is their positively miraculous ragged
ness. We feel that this raggedness has
| quite passed the stage of disrepuJability,
and has actually become ornamentation.
But it Is above all the hat that fixes the
attention. We have often closely in
Ispected it, and our wonder never ceased
how, In the course of single life, any
hat, however weathet beaten, and how
ever brutally used, could attain that pre-
Adamite look. 1t is the e eat charm of
travel in Ireland, that one can become ac-
quainted with its people in so short a
time and on such easy terms. The Irish
man is the mos approachable of human
beings, and as the very Irishman the
stranger wishes to know is in most cases
his own lord and master, intercourse is
thus made doubly easy. II in the course
of solitary walk you should desire the
solace of a little conversation you have

SUNDAY NIGHT IN STOCKHOLM,

At night-especially Sunday night
the scene is almost more animated, still
harder to find in any part of the world,
says Charles w. Wood, writing of
Sweden. Quays brilliantly illuminated,
the electric light shining out in dazzling
contrast with the feebler gas lamp If
the king is not in residence. the palace
itself is dark and closed. The old
houses on these rocky and most dis
tart heights reflect a myriad CLEANS.
Every window seems an illumination.
From pleasure gardens on yonder hill,
rockets shoot up and break into a
thousand many colored balls, dying out
like meteors in the darkness. Smaller
fireworks blaze up for a moment, and
in their turn expire. For it is Sunday
night and the Swedes are at their IA
vorite amusement.
The water is one scene of flashing
lamps, green, red and white. Too
dark 10 see the steamers, you may
trace their courses by these lights
courses so silent that the CLEANS seem
TO possess a separate and independent
existence.
Gigantic fireflies, will-o-th the -wisps,
fitting over the winding surface of the
water. A scene of euchantment, beau
tiful and interesting. only to be rightly
viewed and enjoyed from one of the
upper windows of the Grand Hotel.
This alone is worth q visit to Stock
holm; would tempt you some day to
repeat it. Windows open to the dark
blue summer sky, the intense heat and
glare of the day succeeded by a restful
darkness, a cool refreshing breeze, you
may sit and gaze and muse for hours
and never tire. The scene has neither
WEAKNESS nor monotony.
Before the hotel, on the other side of
the water, under the very shadow of
the palace, are pleasure gardens, with
| Just sufficient illumination to keep your
footsteps from stumbling and permit
deluded mortals to gaze into each
others eyes. Here crowds sit in the
evening cool, slipping harmless bever-
ages at small round tables, under
bowery branches, on level with the
river, able to watch the lights of the
boats darling to and fro whilst listen
| ing to the music of an orchestra com
posed of boys,
These strains are sufficiently distant
not to disturb your meditations and en-.
Ijoyment of the scenes. AS to the gar
dens themselves, distancd lends them
enchantment. A closer acquaintance
shows up their atmosphere as frivolous
and unpleasant, curiosity is quickly
satisfied, and you are glad to escape.

"Why," asked the fat passenger,
"does an engineer always calls his en-

There was moment of embarrass-

low groan all along the line.

sarcastically that he apologized. The
