The travelling American must expect

Old World, when his love for his own
country leads him, after the manner of
all patriotic travellers, to vaunt it lit
tie. An amusing instance of this kind
is related by correspondent of the
New York Evening Post, writing of a
visit to Greyfriars' churchyard at Edin-
burgh.
The sexton was q man Of Aberdeen
shire, and took pleasure In showing the
visitor the grave of Duncan Ban Macin-
tyre, Gaelic poet, and in Interpreting
the Gaelic inscription on it, as If it
were the chief glory of his charge. His
heart was in the Highlands, plainly.
The visitor had been at Greyfriars' be-
fore, and said to the sexton, as the old
man pocketed his fee:
II have seen your Highlands since l
was here last"

The kep's Adventure.

A Marwari banker of elephantine
build, while coming from the station to
Anarkali, Lahore, stood up in his Sec
ond-class CARL near the Shahalmi Gate
to adjust his dhoti. No sooner he was
on his feet, to his horror, the bottom
of the conveyance gave way! With
his well-known presence of mind he
realized the situation even as he fell,
and began running for dear life, in
spite Of being badly shaken. The
drunken Jehu would not hear his
shouts to stop. At last, near the tram
way-stand, some one saw his legs
working with marvellous rapidfty I'M
der the conveyance, and gave the
alarm. The cabby had the impudence
to demand his full fare, and was get
ting noisy and abusive, when pro-
posal was made by some bystanders to
give him a plunge bath in the adjoin-
ing canal, and the fellow then hastily
drove off.-Lahore Tribune.

Evan T. Evans, an old resident of

ago for the Republican nomination
for county treasurer, was late Fri
day adjudged insane, and was this
forenoon taken to the insane asylum
at st. Peter. He was committed to
the same asylum eighteen years ago,
and renamed there four months.
He has been considered as "off'' on
the subject Of religion for long time
past, but has been much worse during
the past three weeks. He is subject
to Authorizations. He has thought
that he was Abraham, and was going
to sacrifice his son, like the Biblical
Abraham. After he had sharpened
his knife, he remembered that there
was q fat COW in the barn and con
cluded that she would make as &C
ceptable a sacrifice as his son. He
finally concluded not to make any
sacrifice. He now believes that he is
Christ, and declares that he will soon
be president Of the United States.
He promised to appoint Judge Mead
commander-in-chief of the navy, and
to appoint DR.. Harrington surgeon
general of the army. He was willing
to 60 to St. Peter, as he thought
that the field there would be be bet.
ter for religious work. The eXamina
tion was conducted by Drs. Warner
and Harrington.
The case is a sad one. Mr.. Evans
served in the war, and has lived in
the county ever since.
