I1natics Do Not Shed Tears

Lunatics Do Not Shed Tears.
! One of the most curious facts connect

sons appear to have lost the power OF

Alice Mitchell in the Asylum

Alice Mitchell in the Asylum.
When the legislative visiting COM
mittee went through the West Tennessee
Asylum for the Insane at Bolivar, says
the Louisville Courier Journal, their at
tentlon was naturally directed more to
Alice Mitchell than TO all other patients.
They found the slayer of her girl friend
III fine physical condition. She has never
been i'll a day in the nine months OF her
confinement. She has gained twenty
pounds in weight and is as handsome a
girl as one could wish to see. Mentally,
however, she shows no improvement.
She seems content with her lot, and has
very little to say about the outside
world.
When the name Of FItda Ward is
mentioned she seems subdued by sad
recollections for the moment, but the
influence soon passes away, leaving her
as Joyous as ever. Her faYorite diversion
is playing the harmonica, which she does
frequently for the entertainment of the
other patients, all of whom hayo the
greatest affection for her. Before tho
tragedy Of twelve months ago she was a
skilful performer on the piano, but she is
unable to stretch an octave now, owing
to having severed the leaders in two
fingers of her right hand in handling the
razor with which she cut her victims
threat The hand is not deformed. but
the injured fingers have lost their former
hsxibillty. She is frequently visited by
members Of her family, and seems glad
to see them, bnt shows no grief at their
departure.
The most skeptcal are now convinced
that the girls malsdy is genuine, and the
asylum physicians have No hope of her
recovery.

Artemus Wards Favorite Joke.

From the Californian.
Artemus had a favorite trick that he loved
to indulge in, and out Of which he appeared
to get good deal Of conyenlal fun. This
was the disbursing Of a rigmarole Ut nom
sense in a solemn and Impressive manner,
as though he was saying something Of un-
usual weight and Importance. 1t WAS a
game of mystification in which he greatly
delighted. At a dinner given him by lead
Ward played this trick on Mark Twain, all
present being let into the secret before
hand. He began an absurd exposition OF
which the embarrassed Mark was obliged to
acknowledge his inability to comprehend
the speaker.
half a minute he gazed at Mark with a face
in which a shade of impotence began to
mingle with astonishment and compassion.

to judge OF exactly that case in this coun-

Havana customs, requested a light from
another and was refused. whereupon the
agsrieved person smote the other with such
force that he was knocked out.
We must decline to regard this as coming
within the Spanfsh-American code. It
has too much brutal downrightness for the
delicate ethics to which we have referred
Those refined principles would not dream
OF revenRing such a slight by any more

tries. smokers may as well make I'D their
minds to grant the favor. Gentlemen who
are fastdious about having their cigars
handled may avoid the difficulty by smok-
ing only in their own houses or offices, and
appearing on the streets without the much
