OF mind, which drives many into lnsan-
ity or to the verge Of insanity, as it did
me. How, then, can one find oblivion
or raze out the written troubles Of the
brain save in absorption in books?
If had the pen of Victor Hugo, what
a picture would draw Of a mind con-
sciously going down into the fearful
abyss Of insanity and making mighty
struggles against it, yet looking on the
cold walls shutting one in and weighing
down the spirit, feeling that the strug-
gle is Intellectual, the fight all in vain,
for the dead, blank walls are staring
coldly on you without giving one reflex
message, bearing on their gray surface
no thought, no response of mind, for
they have been looked over with anxious
care to discover if any other mind had
recorded there some thought which
would awake thought in ones own and
help to shake off the fearful burden
pressing one to earth. AS fact, a man
SO situated does-aye, must-make an
effort to leave some visible impress of
his mind as message to his kind. It is
a natural law, and the instinct is part of
ones being 1t is passion Of mind, a
longing to be united to the spiritual
mass of minds from which the isolated
one is suffering an unnatural divorce by
hideous material walls.

Schmahl & Co. desire us to publish
the following extract from letter OF
Chas. M. Gutfield of Reedley, Fresno
county, CAL, as they handle the
remedy referred to and want their
customers to know what splendid
medicine it is:
cit is with pleasure / tell that by
one days use of G hamblerlain's cough
remedy was relieved of very severe
cold. My head was completely stop
ped up and could not sleep at night.
/ can recommend this remedy"
A cold nearly always starts in the
head and afterwards extends to the
throat and lungs. By using this ren-
edy freely as soon as the cold has
been contracted it will cure the cold
at once and prevent it from extending
to the lungs.

from the other eye. At the
same instant the ragged butt
disappeared and in it's place
was another fresh cigar.
He lit that. Next he pulled
a couple of yards of muslin out
of his mouth and wiped his
eyes, after which he put back
thespikes. He seemed to drive
them right into the ball of
either eye. The women were
shocked and turned away. He
pulled a whisky glass from his
pocket bit pieces out of it, and
chewed them with relish.
"Chentlemens," he said, 81

me?"
Thought it was a fake like
that said two or three of the
men in the crowd.
"Well,i it's a cold day when he
gets any of my money" said
two or three others.
MONEY!" growled the fat
German" You dink | am lige

BEIGE off baber? Gift me dod,"
he said, snatching an evening
paper from the hands of one of
the men. He tore two pages
from it, and beginning on the
corner of one he stuffed it into
his mouth and ate it. At least
itdisappeared. Then he tackled
the other page, and that went.
Poor man." said one sympa-
thetiC woman, che must be
hungry; but how can he eat that
stuff"
The second page was gone,
all but a little corner. The fat
Germans cheeks bulged. A
voice over his head said:
"Chakey you've god doc
much; you vas a hog"
He seized the corner of the
paper that was sticking out
and began pulling at it. It
came in the shape of a perfect
cone, alternately red, white land
blue in color. He held his head
back and pulled. Still the
colored cone kept coming. 1t
ended at about the second yard
He handled it tender1y mo-
ent,juggled it around and fin
ally turning it point down stnck
it down his throat. Down and
down it went, until it was out
of sight. He closed his mouth.
The cigar all this time had
been missing. Itappeared now
still lighted.
The coming in of the boat
stopped the fun. The fat Ger
man was the first man aboard.
He sank into a corner in the
mems cabin and in two minutes
was snoring. Who he was or
what became of him nobody on
the boat knew. He went out
upon the rear deck when the
boat was half way to Jersey
City and disappeared.

A Bald Eagle Above the Bay.
From the NeU York Sun

HTOM WC NGU L OJE CHV.
For some days past persons
walking across Brooklyn
Bridge have observed a large
bird with long narrow wings
and graceful flight down to-
ward Governors Island circling
over the water, apparently look
ing for fish. The bird is a bald
eagle. The other afternoon a
common pearl-white herring
gull was seen to swing down to
the waters surface, just above
the island, and rise again. It
had picked something up from
the water, and the eagle, which
had been over toward Battery
Park, quickened it's wing
strokes and flew toward the
gull.
The gull, too, soon flew faster,
but it was overtaken by the SUI
perior bird. Pedestrians stop
ped on the bridge to look. The
eagle dlved at the gull, which
lodged; then the eagle came up
again in a rising circle to try
once more, without success.
After some minutes Of fast fly
ing, the gull began to tire, ham
pered as it was by a weight,and
aftera few Ineffectual endeavors
to escape, dropped the burden
when well up in the air. That
seemed to be what the eagle
wanted, for, leaving the gull to
fly up under the bridge, it halt
closed it's wings and dyed after
the dropping bit and caught 1t,
then flew leisurely toward
Staten Island.

FUN IN A FERRY.
The Entertainment Provided by a
Fat German.
From the Ne,U York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
He was fat German. He
looked as if he might be pros
porous saloon keeper. He
signalized his entrance into the
Cortlandt Street Ferry house by
a series of loud meows which
sounded so natural that the half
hundred people who were wait
ing for the boat looked around
for the cats. The fat man was
under the weather. He strolled
over to the steam radiator in
the centre of the room, andin a
couple of minutes voices were
heard. First they were in the
northeast corner of the room up
near the ceiling. Some one up
there seemed to be carrying on
an animated conversation with
himself. 1t was plain that the
someone was a German.
"Chakey," said the voice, "vod
your wife will say do you alretty,
ha? You voz one tam fool
kvick yet"
The woman in the ferry house
began to look nervous. They
gazed at the ceiling at the spot
from where the voice seemed to
come. The men were looking
there, too. The fat German
stood by the radiator, his head
over his breast, and seemed to
be sound asleep.
"Fire! Fire Fire! cried voice
in the southwest corner.
Everybody jumped up. The
women grabbed the arms of
their escorts. The fat German
still slept, and the voice sounded
again, this time seemingly from
the platform of an automatic
weighing machine.
"Chaky, you vos a prute!
Vod for you wand der ladies do
SCARE vod? I bunch your nose
alretty."
This was somewhat re-
assuring. Everybody seemed
to realize at the same instant
that there was a ventri1oquist
with a big range of voice around
somewhere, and everybody
looked at the German. He
seemed still to be asleep. But
in a moment he moved uneasily
Then he lifted the ragged
stump of a cigar he held in his
hand, opened his eyes sleepily,
and put the stump into his
mouth. Some fire was left in
the cigar stump, but he didn't
seem tonoticeit. He munched
on the butt as if it were sweet
morsel- Everybody was watch
ing him. He chewedperhapsa
minute Then he swallowed
the stump, and the next instant
pulled new cigar out of his ear,
bit off the end and lighted it.
II no puy cigars" he said. Il
aaig DEM" The crowd was
nightly interested, and gath
cred close around. He didn't
seem to like that, and he
snorted:
"Vod you dink, you vools
beoble? Gatlze l maig a cigar
you dink / vos a WOOL. Iunmaig
i'd" Saying which he put the
fresh cigar, lighted as it was
back into his ear. He seemed
to shove it out of sight, and
candy took from his other ear
the ragged butt that he had but
a moment before chewed up
and swallowed. He pulled on
it. 1t was still lighted. One
of his eyelids begen twitching.
j "My lug vos gone" he said.
Il haff nails in my head ven
vools loog ad me-"
With the tips of his fingers
he lifted the twitching lid and
pulled out a five-inch iron spike,

steel rails. q vos durn to one

we were tried and convicted-that we
could have any reasonable favor granted
