Insanity Among the Negroes.

From the New Orleans Times-D Democrat.
 Insanity among the negroes is in cfeasing rapidly and the people of this section will soon be confronted with a very serious condition on this account, ? said man who is connected with one and the cause of the increase be- comes a pertinent question at this time. My attention has recently been directed to some of the forces which are contributing to this increase in the number of insane among the ne. groes. Contrary to the general view cocaine is not responsible for as many cases of mental Arrangement among the blacks as certain other poisons. Drinking liquids of an inferior sort is in my judgment to be credited with more cases of insanity than any other cause contributing to the increase. There is another interesting fact in connection with the question of insan- ity among the blacks, and that is the waning influence of religion as factor in producing mental unbalance.
 "Time was when this was one of the UnOSJ Ol cduSeS Ol IHeHldl u6- rangement among members of the col Ored race. 1t is not so now. 1 do not mean to say that religion is no longer a factor It still plays a part, but it is a minor part. 1 will venture the asser- tion that gaming and loss of sleep pro duce a larger number of cases of in- sanity among negroes now than relig- ion But the more interesting fact from my way of looking at it is to be found in the large number of cases of insanity that are due directly to. the use of mean and poisonous drinks. There ought to be some way of dealing with this matter. The only method is to check in some way the sale of the cheaper grades of whisky and other alcoholic drinks. How we can do this I do not know at this time, but cer. tainly there is some means by which we can get at the thng We will have to do it at no very remote time. and the quicker we do it the better it will be for humanity"

Sale of Dickens Birthplace.

From the London Times.
 The house in which Charles Dickens was born. 393 Commercial road Ports mouth, was sold by auction at Ports There were only two bidders-the mayor, Sir w. T. Dupree, who was acting on be- half of the town, and a competitor whose name was not disclosed. The bidding started at G300 and in less than two min utes had advanced by e1O0 bids to G700. Then the competition rose by e50 to eS50 At this point, Mir. J. Clark, who was the auctioneer, consented to take twenty five pounds advances, and in less than a quarter of an hour from the opening of the sale the bidding reached G1125, at which price the house was knocked down to the mayor. MT. r. G. &ittou. repre- senting the Boz club and the Dickens fel- lowship. congratulated the mayor on his purchase of the house for the town and promised the assistance of the society he represented in converting the place into an interesting Dickens museum. The auctoneer mentioned that half a million strangers visited Portsmouth every year. and if a tenth of these visited the house and paid sixpence each the purchase money would be reimbursed in the first year. The mayor replied that the town had paid more for the house than its intrinsic value, but he defended it's con- duct that it could not afford to allow such an opportunity to escape.

AN ENEMY TO THE WHALES.
Strange Creatures Said to Exist In
 Alaskan Waters.
From the Forest and Stream.

From the Forest and Stream.
 While operating a fishery on Admiralty Island, Alaska, last summer, my atten- tion and the attention of the fishing crew were almost daily attracted to large marine creature that would appear in the main channel of Seymour canal and our immediate vicinity.
 There are large numbers of whales of the species rorqual there and the mon- ster seemed to be their hatural enemy. The whales generally travel in schools, and while at the surface to blow one would be signalled out and attacked by the fish, and battle was soon in order. It Is the nature of the rorqual to make three blows at intervals of from two to three minutes each and then sound deep and stay beneath the surface for thirty or forty minutes.
 As a whale would come to the surface there would appear always at the whales right side and just about where his head would connect with the body a great long tail or fin, judged by five fishermen and i a number of Italians after seeing 1t about fifteen times at various distances to be about twenty-four feet long, two and one-half feet wide at the end and taper ing down to the water. where 1t seemed | to '' ttpphl tlSlNttu lilCutS III dldIlltlfIY looking very much like the blade of the fan of an old-fashioned Dutch windmill.
 This great club was used on the back of the unfortunate whale in such a man. ner that it was a wonder to me that every whale attacked was not instantly killed. Its operator seemed to have per feet control of its movements and would bend 1t back till the end would touch the water, forming a horseshoe loop; then with a sweep it would be straight ened and brought over and down on the | back of the whale with whack that could be heard for several miles. If the whale was fortunate enough to submerge his body before the blows came the spray would fly for a distance of 100 feet from the effect of the strike making a report as loud as a yachts signal gun.
 What seemed most remarkable to me was that. no matter which way the at tackled whale went or how fast dhe usual speed is about fourteen knots) that great club would follow right along by it's side and deliver those tremendous blows at in- tervals of about four or five seconds It would always get in from three to five blows at each of the three times the whale would come to the surface to blow. The whale would generally rid itself of the enemy when 1t took it's deep sound. especially if the water was forty fathoms or more deep.
 During the day the attack was always offshore, but at night the whales would be attacked in the bay and within 400 yards of the fishery.
 do not know of any whales being kill ed but there were several that had great holes and sores on their backs.
 Questioning the Indians about it. l was told that there was only one, that it had been there for many years and that it once attacked an Indian canoe and with one stroke of the great club mashed the canoe into splnters killing and drowning several of it's occupants.

Pen Picture of George Moore.

James Huneker, the dramatic critic says that not long ago he met George Moore. the author in London, walking along the street. He describes him as "a tall, slender man. with sloping shoulders and narrow chest and with long neck well covered by high collar; the arms long, the feet listless and slow. His eyes are pale blue and darken when he be. comes animated, which is not often. The coloring of hair and complexion is kin6 of lemon yellow, while about the temples are modulatons into gray. At first glance he gives the impression of youth so blonde is he: at a second you see mar of forty-four, slightly disillusioned. very gentle and very incurous-that is. until one says 'Boer' or Irish and then his languor vanishes and becomes a dealer in affirmations'

Jack Chinn's Snake Story
n the Harrodsburg Herald.

From the Harrodsburg Herald.
 Dewitt Vanarsdall, who is in charge of Col. Jack Chinn's fuor spar mine at Salt Spring, was in town Saturday and though rather late in the season for snake stories, tells us one that is out of the ordinary. The mine entry is being driven in the side of the cliff about fifty feet below an old shaft sunk half a century ago by miners in quest of silver. A few days ago they reached the old shaft, and there surprise awaited them. The bottom of it was covered with snakes of all kinds vipers, moccasins. copperheads, black snakes and other varieties more or less venomous. The reptiles resented the intrusion. and it was only after a pretty lively fight that they were killed At first the workmen thought that the snakes had gathered here to hibernate, but an investigation showed that all had fallen into the pit and had no way to escape Many of them may have been there foI years, and had fed on the quantities of ioads. rabbits and mice that shared th .ir misfortune of Hrlling into the old shaft. but not into omgenial company, as did the snakes.

THE COLONEL

The little old back porch of the tumble down house sagged wearily toward the ground. Around it, thrusting their fresh green leaves under it's very caves. gnarled old mulberry trees leaned their distorted trunks as if bending sympathetically to- ward it in it's impending downfall
 From his creaking. hlgh-backed chair, Colonel Ransome looked out from the canopy of mulberry leaves over a wide expanse of young cotton that shimmered in the heat of the June sunshine
 The colonel was old and gnarled like the trees about him, his knees sagged like the pillars of the porch. and his joints were creaky with rheumatism. Unlike the mulberry trees, the colonel ,, had failed to make new wood For 1t is a characteristic of these trees to continually renew themselves. However scared and torn by adverse winds no matter what germs of disease may seem 10 attack their very vitals, somehow new san and bark arise from their teeming roots to enfold the decayed and broken parts and always a crown of fresh leaves springs forth from the mere shell of a trunk.
 Not so was it with the colonel. In the midst of the new order of things anout him he was all dead wood There was Tn him no revitalizing impulse to send forth new shoots. and so when the war brought it about that ownership meant adminls- tration. the colonel failed to adjust him self to the new conditions.
 All the great estate left him by his athers had slipped away from him. un- til of the many square miles Of land sur rounding the old house but a few acres remained to him. and even in these he possessed only life interest. And now he was old and alone and his tomorrows were empty.
 Suddenly the catbird which had been saucily flirting it's tail within few feet of him flew away with sharp cry as round the corner of the house appeared a stout old negro woman.
 'Marse Spruill," she said, "dey's CT buggy comin'."
 The colonel arose wearily and passing through the almost empty rooms, met his visitor at the front door.
 'Mornin', Colonel,'' the newcomer called from his seat in the buggy. You didn't come to the last meeting of the camp. You know we had to elect a del- egate to the reunion? Well. we elected you, and I come out to see If you would go. The camp pays your travelling ex- penses. The only trouble is you'll have to leave in a hurry to get there in time. In fact. if you don't get off on the five O clock train tomorrow evening you won't make it-Charleston, South Caro- llna is a good ways from here.'
 The colonel thought moment. Then all at once he longed to see the dear old city again. Why he had not been there since the war;
 "Well, yes, Jim" he said at length, Il believe l will go."
 That's all right. Now you know I'm treasurer, and to save time 1 brought the money with me. Here it is"
 The colonel took the money with hardly a glance at it and tucked it out of sight, as If anxious to be rid of disagreeable object
 His visitor gone. the colonel went back to his seat on the porch. but this time he no longer saw the cotton field. In Its
