EX-SENATOR JONES, of Florida, is
still in Detroit, where he wanders the
streets in the last stages of shabbiness.
He is said to be penniless, and how and
where he lives are mystery. On or
dinary subjects his mind is sound, and
on political and other public matters
he talks intelligently and we'll, but on
the subject of his unfortunate love
affair his mind is evidently impaired.
He refuses to believe that Miss Palms
is married, and talks rathetically about
her. Jones has many friends in Florida
who would like to care for him, and, as
he declines to leave Detroit, they would
seem to be justified in using any means
to rescue him from his unfortunate
plight and restore him to the familiar
scenes OF his State, where he might be
cured of his delusions.

Acts Like a Chicken.

A remarkable case of madness, result
ing from q wound inflicted by an angr.
animal, has recently appeared on the
plantation of Joseph Middleton, which
lies about three miles from Brazoria,
Texas. A colored woman employed by
him, while setting hen to hatch nest
of eggs, wished to place more under her,
and raised the fowl from the nest in order
to do so. The hen turned on her and
gave her a peck on the hand so severe as
to break the skin, drawing at the same
time few drops of blood.
As the wound healed up without delay
nothing more was thought of the matter,
the woman only mentioning the occur
renee CASUALLY to some of the colored
people on the place.
Some ten days after TIE hen had pecked
her, the woman began to exhibit strange
freaks of demeanor, and, from good
natured, obliging creature, has become so
fractions and surly that all are afraid to
approach her. She refuses all compan-
ionship and wanders about the country
all day from early morning, only coming
to the house for her meals. If any at
tempt is made to con6ne her, or to lay
hands on her, she becomes violently
angry and makes vicious darts and
springs toward any one present.
For days she has not spoken word,
but keeps up continually low, chuck
ing noise, most horribly like hen, and
sits by the hour scratching in the earth
with her hands and feet. In eating her
resemblance to fowl is displayed in a
most remarkable and shocking manner,
for her food is taken up by her pecking
at it with all the motions of chickens
head while feeding.
All who knew her before her madness
say that her entire expression has unde-.
gone change. This is probably true,
for her features now wear a sharpened,
eager aspect, and her eyes have most
unnaturally hard and bright look, with a
bird-like way of glancing about her. At
night she refuses TO sleep under roof
and is generally found hiding about suos
set under some tree or bush, and will
vigorously resent with an angry cackle
all attempts to disturb her. She is Wis
ible growing weaker, and physicians
who have seen her say that her death is
only question of few weeks at most.
Colored people about regard her as
one bewitched or "hoodooed," and can
not be prevailed upon to approach her,
even her husband and children having
deserted her. People come from all owe.
the country to see her, while she remains
to all appearances perfectly oblivious to
her visitors, and quietly pursucs her
clucking and scratching as long as she is

The General OutWitted.

A French General, with plenty Of time
on his hands, one day stood at the win
dow to watch the people passing in the
street. While thus engaged, he noticed
one of his officers who was without a
sword-a grave misdemeanor
'I'll make him smart for this!" the
General exclaimed. "Ten minutes
cross examination and months arrest. "
The Lieutenant meanwhile approached,
all unconscious of the impending storm.
When he was within earshot, the General
called out:
"sir. come up here; want to speak
to you"
The officer looked up and perceived
his superior; he remembered that he had
left his sword at home, and knew what
to expect. Unfortunately there was no
means of escape, and he had to face the
difficulty as best he might. The Gener-
ais face was beaming with delight. He
had found an opportunity of enforcing
the discipline while smoking his weed.
The Lieutenant stepped into the house,
and, in passing through the ante-room,
he espied the sword of an orderly hang
ing on the wall. 1.-THE very thing" he
exclaimed, and, buckling on the sword,
he assumed an air of innocence and
opened the inner door, saying:
"You have done me the homer to call
me, General"
eyes, wanted to ask you Why,
the fellow has a sword" the General
muttered to himself, as the smile faded
from his countenance. "Whatever was
it was going to ask you-Ah remem-
Der now; about your family-your ia
ther, how is he?"
eff he could but know the interest
you take in him he would feel highly
hattered; unfortunately he died twenty
years ago."
The General stared at his unwilling
visitor in speechless amazement.
"Then there is nothing else you have
to say to me?"
"Oh, mol" the General answered.
"Only never 60 out without your sword; :;
I should have been compelled to place
you under arrest if you had left it at
home"
"I'l take good care don't. See
here" and the young man coolly dis
played the arm which was dangling from
his waist.
eyes, see it's all right, my friend,
you may CO."
The officer promptly availed himself of
the permission. He saluted the General,
and on his way through the ante-room
hung the sword on its peg. He then left
the house. The General had resumed
his former post at the window. The
next minute he called his wife.
81 say, look at that young officer who
is walking away from the house."
'I see him distinctly"
"Is he wearing sword?"
"No?"
"There you are mistaken. He looks
as if he isn't and has one all the time"
The wife made no remark. She was
in the habit of taking her husband at his
word. As for the officer, he was never
again seen in public without his saber.

THE BEER DELUSION.

The claim that beer is healthy drink is
the greatest Of delusions. 1t bloats and
makes fat the drinker while sapping the
strength Of both body and mind. Even beer
drinkers are fast finding this out The Mil
waukee Sentinel reports Theodore Roosevelt,
former member Of the New York Legislature,
as saying:
DO you know" said Mr.. Roosevelt hold
ing up his glass and looking through the am
r-hued liquid, that there is not thought
in hogshead of beer; that there is not an
idea in a whole brewery? l mean," contin-
ued the New York politician, ''that nothing
of merit was ever written under the inspira-
tion of lager beer. 1t stupefes without in
vigorating, and its effect upon the brain is to
stagnate thought Do not imagine that am
temperance orator I am simply comparing
stimulants. Some Of the brightest Of literary
efforts have been made while under the influ-
ence of spirituous liquor, taken by the poor,
overworied author 10 avoid a complete
physical and mental collapse shall wait to
see if any man can write anything who has
a drop Of beer in his system"
Bonforts Wine and Spirit Circular, which
5 good authority in this case, speaking of
the discrimination Of the Government in ia
yor of beer, says:
''If we were getting better beer there
would be room for some toleraJion of this
governmental faVorltlSm; but, unhapplly,
the quality of American beer is steadily de-
teriorating and already there are thousands
of well-informed people who scrupulously re-
fuse to touch it on account of its injurious
effects"
Again it says: 1T is notorious that our
brewers seldom drink their own beer or the
product of any other brewery. At the places
which they frequent and at which they take
their meals, or at public picnics and summer
nights festivals which are attended by brew
ers, it is generally noticed that these men
drink anything but beer. If beer is healthy,
why do our brewers refuse to drink beer"
The Scientific american says: st is our
observation that beer-drinking in this coun-
try produces the very lowest kind of inebri-
ETY., closely allied to criminal insanity. The
most dangerous class Of rufians in our large
cities are beer-drinkers. Intellectually, a
stupor amounting almost to paralysis arrests
the reason, changing all the higher faculties
into q mere animalism, sensual, selfish, slug
gish, varied only with paroxysms Of anger,
senscless and brutal"

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES.

The standing armies Of all Europe are esti-
mated at $4,000, 900. including the reserves,
and their cost at $500, 600, 900 annually. The
United States could assume the support Of
that tremendous armament pay the entire
military bill Of all Europe outof our cash
outlay for liquor, aud still have 1900 600, 900
to spare if the liquor outlay was stopped.
Can we afford to let it go on? It would be
yet truer comparison to iken these liquor
employees to an invading army of 100000
men. If they were to turn their attention to
burglary, and each steal $500 per year, and
out of every ten kill his man every year.
which would be unusually prosperous and
unusually murderous burglary-still they
would not be as destructive as now. For
this leaves out all the indirect cost, and we
cannot count less than 10000 deaths from
intemperance every year, many carrying the
estimate to 100000.
Hence, so far from counting the support OF
these liquor employees as deduction from
the total drink cost, it is an added item-the
support Of half a million non-producers.
Their work in any productive industry: at
reasonable average for all grades of skill em-
ployed, would be S30O, 100000. They would
add at least that much to the national wealth,
which is now dead loss, and must be car
ried to the debit side.
