Antiquity of Whiskey.

There is pretty good evidence fol-

Osiris, the great god of Egypt, was
the first distiller of whiskey on record
for the Egyptians had, from time al.
most immemorial, distillation;o or brew.
age from barley, called by the Greeks
barley-wine, not inferior, they say, in
flavor, and superior in strength to wine.
Alusion is made to this liquor in sew
eral passages of ancient writer's. The
poor people of Egypt drank it instead
of wine, and were wont to intoxicate
themselves with 1t, just as our poorer
people do with whiskey. 1t seems also
to have been no stronger to the He.
brews, for reference is certainly made
to it in the Old Testament, under the
name of strong drink" stronger than
wine, and resorted to by determined
drinkers for the sake of inebriation.
Among the Celt@ in Spain and
France is seems to have been common
as a substitute for wine. Polybius
speaks of certain Celtic king of part
of Iberia or Spain who affected great
Court pomp. and had in the middle OF
his hall golden and silver bowls full OF
this barley wine, of which his guests
and courtiers slipped or quafed at their
pleasure. a custom which, it is said,
for many a century prevailed among
his Celtic descendants, the reguli chiefs
OF our Scottish Highlands.

coming behind to cover him up. When
he found that he had thus to be an un-
willing passenger upon the terrible
train he looked ahead to see what had
become OF his partner. The latter, up
on seeing that there was no escape on
either side. turned heels to the roaring
mass. and started on life-and-deat6
run right down the gulch. Then fol-
lowed q wild and thrilling chase. The
man who was anchored on top of the
snow yelled at the man in front to run,
While he who was pursued strained
every muscle to keep out of the laws of
the death that was close at his heels.
The race was kept up for more than a
mile, and during the entire distance the
fellow who was on top kept yelling,
run, you-run, and the hair of the
fellow who was running held his hat
poised four inches from his head while
he headed for the valley. Often the
rolling snow struck the heels of his
shoes, but it did not quite get him.
More quickly that it takes to tell it the
hunted man dashed out into the valley,
and what he thought was safety. The
valley, however, was more dangerous
than the mountain. as an unseen gulch
crossed it, into which the hunted man
fell. Providence, though was kind to
him, for the slide had spent its force,
and the snow piled up on the bank
over which he had fallen.
- When the two were able to look
around, one was lying at the bottom of
the gulch, while the other was seated
upon the crest of the snow bank that
looked over its edge.

Storm Scared Miners.

The Aspen Times relates that during
the great storm of last week two miners
started to ascend one of the neighbor-
ing mountains. They made the trip
on Norwegian snowshoes, on which
they worked their way up narrow
gulch leading to their property. As
they journeyed on one of them got to
be some 200 yards in advance of the
other, and it was while this distance
separated them that the leader, by an
unhappy step, overturned top-heavy
mass of snow and started a dreadful
slide. He seized hold of convenient
tree and called to his companion to
s'look out.' The tree was small and
bent over under the weight of moving
snow. He let 60 and started with the
slide. The long shoes by this time
were firmly anchored in the moving
mass, and he was hurried along with
no power to stop himself by selling the
trees which he passed. Fortunately he
was on the tail end of the avalanche,
and thus rode it in safety, with nothing

Steers ON the Rampage.

An accident containing some funny
features occurred in the big tunnel at
Summit, on the Northwestern road,
Sunday night. As train loaded with
Montana cattle entered the tunnel
from the north, door to one of the
cars accidentally slid back. Several
fiery steers Immediately jumped out,
and with elevated tails dashed ahead
of the slowly moving locomotive and
soon were hidden in the dense dark
ness of the tunnel. One steer ran back
and took to the woods. The train was
quickly stopped and the train men de-
serted their post in a frantic endeavor
to corral the fractions fugitive. Think
ing the animals in the tunnel were suf-
ficiently well Gagged. they all started
for the steer in the bushes. After a
lively chase they finally lassoed this
creature and tethcred him to a tree.
They then returned to the tunnel, and.
procuring hand car, sailed in after
the other steers. When they had pro-
ceeded in some distance they were
charged upon by the believing crea-
lures, who mistook a colored
lantern on the car for the ha-
ted red rag. The men clambered into
the inches of the walls, and for a time
played the statue act, while the semi
wild animals gored the innocent Ian
tern. The steers held the fort for an
hour or so, but the men, urged to ies-
peration through fear that another
train might come bowling into the tun-
mel from the opposite direction at any
moment, finally descended from their
perches, and, after long struggle in
the darkness, succeeded in capturing
the citadel. The whole train force
worked valiantly for about three hours,
and at the end of that time were able
to move the train southwark and clear
the road. All the steers were recovered,
the men being so thoughtful even as
to 60 back into the woods and bring
out the beast which had been tethered
there. ~ ..~.~-

A Community of Lunstics.

The celebrated Belgian colony of the
insane at Gheel has nothing in it's ex-
ternal appearance suggestive of the
ordinary lunatic asylum; its inhabi-
tants give no superficial indications
that a large proportion of them are
madmsn. If one would conceive what
Gheel is, he must imagine a town of
tive or six thousand souls, in no way
different from other towns of like I'M
portance, surrounded by number of
hamlets containing altogether, perhaps,
about as many more inhabitants.
These people have been, from a very
remote period, in the habit of taking
insane persons to board in their houses.
The lunatics live in constant contact
with the family of their host. They
share in their labors and their pleas
ures If so inclined and their means per-
NIT it. They come and 90, in the en-
joyment of an almost absolute liberty.
1t has. however, been found necessary
for the good of the patients and of the
settled population to organize admin
istrative and medical services, in
order to prevent dangerous and i'm
proper persons from being sent to the
colony, and for the care of the mental
and physical affections of the patients,
and for securing to them proper &C.
comodation and treatment; and an in
Urinary has been established for those
who need medical care, But the adj
ministration makes very little show.
The whole of Gheel district is an asy-
lum; and the streets and the surround
ing country are the promenade of the

MARION COUNTY, Illinois, presents a
striking illustration of the present
jury system. About two years ago,
a grocery was burglarized at Alma,
and few peanuts and a small piece
of cheese stolen. John Halbert has
been put on trial before FIVE juries for
the deed, and the juries have resolute-
ly and unanimously disagreed. The
people who pay the expense of main.
tanning courts-the tax payers-are
getting tired of this form of jury
work, and incline to the view that the
system is delusion and snare, to
say the least.
