A STRANGE MANIA.
A kleptomaniac Whose Weakness Was
Handkerchief.

From the Hospital.
Probably no unciviized man believes in klep-
tomania. Even among civilized peoples many
persons smile incredulously when they are told
of the acts OF kleptomaniacs. They know bet
ter. The kleptomaniac is q thief with a fine
name and the name has been invented
for the purpose OF screening the
higher classes who indulge i'll low vices
But q case has been brought to light recently
which ought to convince the most sceptical A
man was arrested short time ago in the act of
stealing pocket handkerchief from a lady in
Vienna suburb. In his sane days he had been
prosperous baker, but mania for
cambria pocket handkorchiefs seized
upon him and proved his ruin. 1t
was his habit to accost ladies in
the street and offer to buy their pocket hand
kerchiefs. If they refused he used to get
angry, and to offer higher and higher prices
until a bargain was struck Many ladies
could they have been Iadies?) traded upon
his madness, until at last all his money was
spent and he became bankrupt. But
bankruptcy did not euro his mania, for, no
longer having money to pay for pocket hank
kerchiefs, he took to stealing them and WAS
sent to prison. For five years nothing was
heard of his depredations and it was believed
that his imprisonment had cured him. But a
short time ago lie was discovered at his old
tricks.
When arrested no had fifteen cambria hand.
kerchefs in his possession, all of which no con-
fessed to having stolen within an hour. In his
bed room 434 cambria pocket handkerchiefs
were found, and it Is believed that many more
were concealed in hiding places
which he refused to reveal He
had never been known to steal anything else
nor does he seem to have made any use of the
cambria handkerchiefs. The tribunal before
which he appeared very properly sent him to
q mad house and not to prison This case is
absolutely convincing. and probably no one
who reads it will in future doubt the fact of
kleptlm ania.

From the Cornhiil Magazine.
Nothing is moro common than to hear IL as
serted that sprats are only immature herring.
This is q complete mistake. Believe it not.
Sprats arc Il very distinct species of the herring
genus, and they mover grow much bigger than
when they appear, brooches, at table. The
largest adult sprat measures only six inches,
while full-grown herring may attain as much
az fifteen. Moreover, herring have teeth on
the palate, always wanting in sprats, by which
means the species may be readily disting uished
at all ages. When in doubt. therefore. do not
play trumps, but examine the palate. On
the other hand, whitehall, long supposed
to be distinct species. has now been proved
by DR.. Gunther, the greatest of
ichthyologists, to consist chiefly of the
fry or young Of herring. To complete our dis
comtiture the same eminent authority has also
shown that the pilchard and the sardine.

Such aliases are by no means uncommon

DOWN TIKI; RIVER.
The Advantages of the Country Along
the Broad Potomac.

Correspondence Of THE EvESIxa STAR.
GLYMoNT, Nh, Oct s.
George Washington. Gunston Marshall and
others Of colonial days appreciated and ad-
rnired the grandeur and beauties Of the Poto-
mac river. and upon its banks they erected
their mansions lived in health, ease and COM
fort, and their plantations were the finest in
the land But i'll these days neglect and decay
have forestal!ed thrift and energy. and the
beautiful songs written by patriotic poets are
not sung as often as in this days gone by. The
causes OF this, In my opinion, is that enterpris
and capital have drifted to the large cities, and
in this way the beauties and healthfulness Of
the grand old Potomac river south of our ma
honal capital have been neglected for a time.
We have some OF the finest spots i'll the world
for homes. The country bordering on the Po-
tomac is largely devoted to agriculture fish,
oysters, &c. The soil is easily improved and
well adapted to all kinds of crops, for fruits,
vegetables, hay and stock raising. The climate
is mild and healthy--temperate in winter and
pleasant IN summer-and offers unusual in
ducements to emigrants in its favorable eli
mate-cheap lands nearness to navigable
waters good soil, easy of access to markets,
churches, schools, &c. Tho country needs
emigrants to till the soil and to start mills fac
tories and shops.
NO MORE FEVER AND AGUE.
Forty years ago left my home in Maine and
located near Glymont, Md. Since that time l
have not had a days sickness, and all my i'm
mediate family have enjoyed the best of health.
Before the war there was considerable fever
and ague and malaria along the banks of the
Potomac but that has all now disappeared,
and such thing as fever and ague and malaria
is unknown upon the shores of the Potomac
river, Perhaps the smoke from the steam and
tug boats oil the river and also from the steam
cars running near its banks have destroyed the
malaria and fever and ague germ, so that the
above-named diseases are thing of the past. s.
