Why Dr.. REYNOLDS Left Home.

Our readers remember a short notlce IN
the TINES some weeks ago, where the sud
den and unaccountable disappearance of
DR.. w. q. Reynolds was noted; and a week
or two later another notice that DR.. Rey
nolds had returned. We were unable until
last Saturday to get o correct account OF the
affair, and as Dr. Reynolds is widely known
throughout the county, We publish 1t so
that his friends may have . correct version
of the affair.
DR.. REYNOLDS for several weeks had been
drinking very hard, until it finally affected
! his brain. On Saturday night, Dec. 10Th,
while laboring under this mental alteration,
he left his home, not conscious OF what he
was doing. He has no recollection OF when
he left home, or how or when he got to
railroad station; nor could any OF his family
by the most diligent search find oot where
he had taken the train. All this is yet
! wrapped in mystery. He has no recollec-
| ton Of how much money he had with him,
! when he left, but it is thought he had about
seventy-fve or a hundred dollars. When
first he came 70 himself he was IN the city
! Of Nashville, Tenn. From this place he
| wroso letter to his family, which was duly
received. He here became acquainted with
some gentleman, in9uentialln Il large North
western railroad syndicate, who kindly pre-
sented him free pass Ger most OF the
| Northwestern railroads. When he lett
Nashville he does not remember, but IN
this same state Of mind visited Cincinnati,
ST. Paul, St Louis, and other Western cit
les.
! is INJURED N CINCINNATI.
At Cincinnati ne got a severe fall which
respiteti in conclusion OF the spine. He
thinks there was heavy sleet at the time,
and that in getting of the train he slipped,
and fell on stone. AT ST. Louis be was
enabled once again to regain his normal
state OF mind, probably owing to the severe
pain he was suffering; or probably because
| nature would no longer submit to such a
terrible ordeal. He had frequently, in his
| wild career, written to his family, the let
| ters being duly received and answered, but
the answers never reached him, as he did
not wait for reply. At st. Louis he met
kind friends among strangers, who took hlm
| in charge furnished him with money, put
him on Pullman palace car, and started
! him homewurd, where he safely arrived
abous two weeks ago, having been absent
about three weeks. His family and friends
were delighted to welcome him again, and
Dr.. REYNOLDS himself was probably the
most rejoice6 Of all to be again safely re-
stored 70 his loved ones after so perilous
and remarkable trip. His suffering is
severe, but It is hoped he will soon be well
again, coming and going among US.

Americas Great Success.

sixty millions of people enjoy already
the Incompatible advantages which our
Incompatible institutions offer to one and
all, but hundred millions Of people
could now be sustained without increas-
one to their number by merely bringing
the product up to the average standard
of reasonably good agriculture, and then
there might remain for export twice the
quantity we now send abroad to feed the
hungry of foreign lands. The Empire
of Germany, together with Holland aud
Belgium has about the same extent Of
territory as the State of Texas, and the
good land of the farmer is no better
than in the latter, and, while the popu-
lation Of Texas is not over 1000, 900, the
population Of Germany, Holland and
Belgium exceeds $4,000, 900. France,
with an area of 1872, 900, 900 Of acres and
3S, 600, 900 of people, has less land than
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, and yet
these three States only have population
Of about 4 900, 600, and the largest por-
ton of their land is as fertile as that of
France.
A like comparison might bc made in
reference to other parts of the United
States and other nations, showing the
same results. The four States Just men
toned do not count more than six mill
ion people, but they could easily sustain
population equal to that of Great Brit
ain, Germany and France put together.
There can be no doubt of the agricultural
capabilities of the United States to main
tain population greater than that of any
other equally large inhsbitabc portion Of
the globe, and there is no doubt that the
American race is destined to exercise the
commanding influence in the world S
future. When Napoleon |. drew up his
troops before the Mamclukcs under the
shadow of the great pyramids, pointing
to the latter, he said: "Soldicrs, rcmem-
ber that from yonder heights forty CEN
turies look down upon you!" Amcri-
cans may justly and proudly, from the
pyramid top of opportunity. look back
on four centuries aud stretch out their
arms into the future with power to mold
the destinies Of unborn millions, for they
occupy the Gibraltar of the ages, which
commands the future OF the world.-.udl

Elmira, Y. y, recently had one of tho
heaviest corpscs ever heard of in that Of
John l.. Lawes, who carried $40 pounds
of human flesh over to the majority. Mr..
Lawes was very fat man.
Lawes was forty years Of age. 1t is
only within the past three years that he
has acquired this mountain OF flesh. He
used to be blacksmith, and was n slight,
delicate thing Of two or three hundred
pounds. Then he began to gain from five
to ten pounds every week, until he had
progressed to dime museum magnitude.
lis appetite increased with his avoirdu-
pois. Two or three pounds of beefsteak
was the merest "snack" to him. Toward
the end of his life he spent most of his
time eating.
He got so fat that of late he could
neither lie down nor walk, and he re.
qurcd constant attendance.
Under the circumstances it would seen
as if death must have been relief
Still, the huge man was of the happiest
best natured disposition in the world
lie positively enjoyed showing his i'm
mense proportions to admirng beholders
