NERVOUS INSANITY.
Ono Of the Most Peculiar Cases of the
Kind Ever Recorded.

Ono of the Most Peculiar Cases of tho
Kind Ever Recorded.
A Chicago physician recently told q
Tribune reporter the following: "Some
weeks ago there came under my obser-
walton one of the strangest cases Of nerv-
Gus insanity which l ever heard. The
patient is q young German, twenty-five
years Of age, who lives not far from the
corner Of Ashland avenue and Twelfth
street. The poor fellow has been blind
from his birth and the arrangement of
some of the internal organs is Of tho
most peculiar nature; his heart especial
ly giving out sound as it beats that /,
at least, never heard in q mortal man
before. The strangest thing about him,
however, Is his speech. When not
sleeping or talking with other people
he will sit for hours repeating over and
over, 'one and one are two, two and one
are three, three and one are four, one
and one are two, two and one are three,
three and one are four 1 havo known
him to say -four and one are five,' but
this Is rare indeed. Even when talking
with other people he can not utter more
than twenty words without suddenly
breaking in with his rlittle addition
table. He is entirely powerless to re-
strain himself from the endless repeti-
tion, and efforts either on the part of
his friends or of himself only end in
bringing on convulsion.
"Up to eight months ago he meyer
spoke any language but German, but
since the middle of last April he is able
to speak nothing but English. do not
mean that he has lost control of his
mother-tongue by any means; but If in
conversation or especially in reciting his
'one and one are two, two and one are
three, three and one are four he
chances to pronounce German word he
is Immediately seized with spasms. This
sounds well nigh incredible, but it is
tho truth, and to make the matter
stranger still he can listen without tho
slightest discomfort to all the German
words that can be spoken from ono
| years end to the other. 1t is the most
peculiar and interesting case have ever
met with"

DER HASH VAS GOOT.

Adventure OF a Dutchman Who Knew
Nothing About Western Ways.
A Dutchman was travelling in the far
West, says Texas Siftings, and stopping
at hotel in q small town, called for
dinner. He was little late, and big
dish of hash was about all the waiter
set before him. Being very hungry he
could not restrain the anger that boiled
up in him as he looked at the boiled
down product of the hostelry.
"See here, my frund, did'n dole you
to pring me zum dinner? A tog couldn'
eat dot shtulf." Tho waiter protested 1t
was the best that could be done, and the
guest broke out again impatiently. "Vot

The waiter disappeared through q
side door and Immediately afterward the
startled guest heard gruff and angry
voice pronouncing these terrible SON.

"The rascal refuses to eat the dinner
furnished by my house! I'll see about
1t. Let mo git at him!'
The guest began to shovel In the hash
like unloading coal, and q ferce-whislS-
cred, stalwart fellow with two pistols
and a dirk at his waist came tramping
toward the table.
"Haf der pleasure ouf attressing der

nervously, and bowling with extreme po-
liteness.

Oyster shell is the name OF the new

Milliken,s Bend.

The following extract is taken from a
letter received from Mr.. William Nc.
Kahn, proprietor Of the Madison House,
at Tallulah, Madison Parish, La. !:
"While was merchandising at Milli-
kin's Bend, in this perish, during the
year 's7 and 'ss, I sold large quantities
of Swift's Specific IS. s. S.), and during
that time every one that used the medi-
cine was loud in its praise. Among
those who were benefited by s. S. s.
was man-since dead-who had cancer
in its most malignant form. He had
spent small fortune in trying to effect
a cure, but without success. After the
knife had been used there was still a
cancerous taint left in his blood, the
wound never healing. I finally per-
suaded him to try S. 8. s., and it alone
eradicated the cancer, and he recovered
perfect health. From that time until
his death, which was several years, a
symptom of the disease never returned"

for Five Dollars.
The story told by lady friend, says
the Brooklyn Citizen, shows, amone
other things, that industry and perse-
verance are as necessary to success In
thieving as in honest means Of earning
living. She came out Of bank With
young girl the other day and noticed
q "tough looking youngish fellow on
the curb observing them narrowly. Civ.
ing him an observing glance in return,
she and her friend crossed the street
and went up to an Office in the third
floor Of building there, where she gave
the money just drawn to her husband,
and then started with her friend to New
York. On reaching the street again she
noticed the same "tougb" eyeing her
closely, and gave him look that was
full Of warning. Then the two ladies
proceeded on their way, thinking no
more of the fellow. In New York they
separated, intending to visit different
acquain tances. The next day her young
lady friend tol her that as she returned
to Brooklyn in the evening and was
endeavoring to push through tho
crowd at the bridge entrance she
took out her pocket-book to get the
fare and held SIS bill in 1t up
between her thumb and the clasp. Just
then she was pushed rather roughly,
and the man behind her leaned over as
IL pushed by the crowd. In that instant
the S5 disappeared, and turning to say
that she had dropped it to the man who
had leaned against her she saw him
squeezing his way out and recognized
him as the very "tough" who had been
watching her and the lady who narrated
this in Brooklyn during the afternoon.
But before she could speak he was out
Of sight, and the crowd was impatient all
around her, and SO she let it go. So 1t
appears that the thief had watched them
go into the bank, and probably saw one
Of them draw money; had followed them
to tho Office building spoken of, and
thence to New York, had finally made
up his mind that the younger of the two,
and the smaller, would be the easier
victim, and had tracked her tho rest OF
the afternoon and evening until he got
tho chance to snatch the bill at the
bridge entrance--a pretty solid days
work for S5; but there need be no doubt
that he would havo been willing to
throw in assault and battery, with pos
sible murder, for the reward If circum-
stances had not rendered it unnecessary.
But then, the S5 might have been $50,
you see.

THE SOCIALISTiC MARQUIS.
Compromising Papers Found in d,
Mores' Office.

Yesterday the Marquis de Mores was taken
from his cell and brought before NJ. Diners,
commissare de police of the Quarter st. Ger
main in Paris. In the examination which fol-
lowed the marquis made the following state
ment:
II have known for some days that my arrest
was imminent and my friends have more than
once advised me to leave the country. why
should take flight" has been my invariable
reply to them. My conscience is perfectly
clear, whereas if turn my back on the danger
which threatens me it will be inferred that
am guilty. have observed of late that my
steps were logged by detectives, who made
daily reports to the prefecture de police as to
my words and actions. l was regularly in
formed of the contents Of their reports. so that
my arrest does not surprise me i'll the least"
The marquis declared positively that he had
never had the slightest intention Of taking part
in the demonstrations OF MAY /, and that he
had even decided to be absent from Paris on
that day. You may search as much you
please" he exclaimed 'in my apartment. but
you will find nothing" and then he added
dryly, Il am accustomed to burn my letters"
The prisoner has preserved most complete
calm. his only concern being the effect of the
shock upon his wife. who is about to become a
mother. The warrant issued against the arquis
contained the following charges: First of in
citing crowds to gather in the streets; second
of melting the aforesaid crowds to murder, pill
lage and incendarisn, and, third, encouraging
acts Of violence against the troops.
The examination concluded. Diners, accom-
panied by four detectives. proceeded to IS
Rue Sainte Anne, where the marquis had
rented an Office for the transaction of his So
cialstc business. The marquis went with
them. The place having been searched, a
number of papers were seized, including a
bundle of appeals for distribution among the
laboring classes urging them to take part in
the approaching demonstration. This formal
ity being concluded, the party went to the res
idence of the marquis in the Rue de Tilsitt.
where second search was made in the pros
ence of Madame dc Mores. who maintained
her self-possession in admirable manner
While this was going on the marquis asked
permission to change his dress and was
allowed to do So
