rho remarkable feature or the case
&C. tho fact that, while slowly return
inp TO his normal physical condltloh'
h;s mental condition is such that ne re-
ooI1s nothing of the accident. When
snoken to upon the subject of the col
l;sion no denies any recollection OF 1t
or that he was in it, and attributes the
main in his head to neuralgia.
He was taken out of the wreck at
noint almost under one OF the locomo-
tives. He reads the newspapers, en-
ters earnestly and intelligently into
conversation and seems as clear-mlnded
as anyone else, except on the subject
of the accident.
When Morrel was taken to the At
lantic City sanitarium after the acct
dent it was found that he was practi.
cally scalped on the left side of his
head. his ear was torn off with the
scalp and the skin from the left side
of his jaw. His left shoulder blade
was badly fractured and the bones Of
his shoulder were broken. His left
arm was badly injured, his legs were
10 4n6
and he was crushed about the lower
part Of the trunk Of his body SO badly
as to cause severe internal Injuries,
which make his restoration to almost
normal physical condition little short
of marvellous. His external wounds
are nearly all healed, except where his
ear was torn.
Owing to the remarkable recovery
from his physical wounds the doctors
now entertain the hope that what is
now blank to him may return to his
memory and his recovery be complete.
His conversatio with members of
the family is often sharp and bright.
Ir many instances, however, the inter-
vention of few hours time will ap-
parently obliterate from his memory
all trace of the converse ton and he
will deny that it took place or that GER
tain things were done. On the other
hand, matters which it was not believ-
cd he could we'll remember he recalled
with ease two, three or four days after
their occurrence. In fact he under
stands and talks well about every
thing except the accident and anything
pertaining to it, and while he listens
with interest to anything said about it
he declares earnestly that he knows
nothing about it and that it never hap
pened, in spite Of his frightful tell-tale
injuries. -Philadelphia Telegraph:

Large numbers of Sicilan immigrants

Large numbers of Sicilan immigrants
continue to arrive at New Orleans.
From one steamer 1865 OF them were
landed, and there were many pictur-
esuue scenes as the excitable strangers
came ashore. Many Of them lnelt
down and kissed the dirty boards of
the wharf. Then they arose anl made
the sign of the cross. The fervor with
which relatives and friends greeted one
another was remarkable. Bearded men
rushed into each others ariHs and kiss
ed with the abandon and vigo: Of long
parted lovers. Everybody talked at
once, and the noise was terrific.

A few years ago a citizen in Berlin
unwittingly gave sentry some slight
offense. The sentry killed the citizen,
and the Emperor promoted the sentry.
the other day citizen in Berlin acct
dentally brushed against a lieuten-
ants chair in a public cafe. The lieu
tenant killed the citizen, and the En-
peror, or the Emperors military code,
protects the lieutenant from punish
ment. And now some German papers,
recklessly regardless of leze majesty,
are saying the code should be revised

Maryland pot-hunters, in their illegal
war on the ducks, employ, among other
nefarious implements, gun from
twelve to fourteen feet long, with a
bore like cannon, and using half a
bound of powder to propel two or three
pounds of shot at each discharge. These
guns are arranged on swivels in the
bow Of a punt, ard when used against
the birds at night slaughter them by
the hundred. The State game wardens
are showing unusual activity this year,
and, as they are strongly supported by
public opinion, the good effects of their
work will soon be manifest.

There is woe among the public school
teachers of Georgia because not one of
them has received any salary for the
quarter which ended on Nov. 1. The
Georgia treasury is so nearly empty
that to pay the 5000 teachers the $780,,
600 due them is impossible. Gov. Atkin-
son says the salaries cannot be paid
until the collectors in the different coun-
ties make their returns in December.

to do business in Germany have not

HuMOES OE WHIST.
Remarks Thst Have Been Made Around
the Table.

+ good story is told of lawyer in
Chicago Wit considered himself great
authority on whist He wrote book on
the subject, an! sent it to a famous Mil
waukee player for his opinion of it. In
about week the book was returned to
him, with the following letter:
My DEAR SIR-Your favor Of the - inst,
accompanied by your book, was duly received.
have read it very carefully 1t seems to be
a worry good game, but don't think it is as
good game as whist. Sincerely yours
1t is no unusual thing to hear play
er at whist remark, after being berated
by his partner for very bad playing,
"Well, play whist for pleasure. He
does not stop to think that he gives his
partner anything but pleasure. " Such
players cause their partners many "un
mauvas quart d 'heure" 1t might be
a great pleasure" for novice to play
a duet on the piano with Paderewski.
One can readily imagine how much
pleasure Paderewski would find in
the performance If a man wants to
play whist, he should study the books
and famliarize himself with them be-
fore inflicting his play on partner who
knows anything of tho game, or else de-
vote his great mind to dominos.
1t is related Of one Of these gentry
that, after hand at whist, his partner
asked him, why in thunder didn't you
trump tnat queen of clubs?" He naive
ly replied, "Why, only had one little
trump Sometimes, as in this case, the
humor-unknown to the perpetrator-
carries off the bad feeling engendered
by his horrid mistakes and ignorance.
1t is SO easy, if one would devote lit
tie time and ordinary intelligence to
the study of the game, to learn to play
fairly good game of whist.
-Four players started a game Of whist
not long since, a noted wit being one Of
them. He was dealing and made mis-
deal. He dropped his cards and burst
into laughter. "That reminds me, said
he, "of my dear old friend, Judge Peck
ham, father of the present judge. He
was a great whist player of the odd
school and had scant patience with a
poor player. l was passing the cardroom
one day and met one Of the poorest play
ers in the club coming ont. Have you
been playing whist?' asked. Yes, said
he. Who was your partner?' Judge
Peckham,' he replied Did he pitch
into you pretty strong?' No, indeed.
He only made one remark. was deal
ing and made misdeal. The judge
said, "Why, you fool, you don't even
know how to DEAL" This is the only
remark he made during tho entire
game. "-Washington Star.
