But I steeled ttiyself against it, and now J am sure that I can continue the work I have Commenced without a fear of stumbling. •At 10 p. m. Mr. B. had fallen asleep ; from the effects of a hypodermic in- , lection of morphia which I gave him. It will not do to allow him to wear him- " jtelf out too fast. f ' February 10.--At 12 o'clock to-day I ffeve Sir. B. twenty drops of the tincture Olf digitalis and watched the effect very closely. The pupils of the eye? began tib dilate in a very marked degree, his |*nlse jumped to 1:10 and his heart beat *ith extreme flightine3s and irregularity. I thought it better to quiet him and so gave him, twenty grains of chloral.

I must be more careful after this. At 7 o'clock this evening I gave Mr. B. the fourth dose of my almoacrine, but the effects were not satisfactory to me. I will in Sill probability have to increase the dose. Bis hands are .beginning to shrink up t«ry rapidly, and the epidermis is dry- •;#ig splendidly. February 12. -- Mr. B. asked me this morning if I would bring his wife to sie him. He said he had seen her dur­ ing the night. Of course I told him I would. Things are working splendidly. It will not take a week now at the out­ ride to complete every thing. He com­ plained to-day that one of his eye# Sained him. Those are good symptoms, [is sight will be completely gone in­ side of forty-eight hours if I judge not amiss. To-night I gave him some of Fowler's solution, just enough to assist in completing what I have set out to do. To morrow I will have to give him a decoction of Sinapis and Rhus Toxicon- dendron. I forgot to do it to-day until too late. ? February 13.--Mr. B. slept all fore- an, and when at 12 o'clock this noon opened his right eyelid I discovered 'to my joy that all life had left the ball. I applied some belladona with a camel- liair brush, but it was of no use. At 2 o'clock he opened his remaining eye and asked for water. I noticed then that his voice displayed a peculiar trembling, and I saw by that that the tissues of his larynx were beginning to dry up as 1 had anticipated. At 4 o'clock I gave him the decoction of poison ivy and mustard and about 7 o'clock I adminis­ tered a hypodermic injection of morphia *«nd bled him. His pulse sunk as low us 30, but I at once administered some fox-glove and his pulse ran up to GO. To-morrow I will give him his fifth dose of almoacrine, and in a' week's tirnq, if \ nothing fails me, I will have accom- • p|i-*hed what I started out to do. 1 Here is a lapse of four days of which nd mention is made, the writer either having made a mistake in the day or for­ gotten to make an entry. February 18. --The crisis is approach­ ing and Mr. B. is as near like a mummy la anything can bo. His voice is en­ tirely gone and his eyes are both sight­ less. I gave him the last dose of almoacrine about 12 o'clock and sat down to watch the results. The bodv had shriveled np to a mere skeleton and the skin was as dry and of the color of parchment. Truly this almoacrine is a woncherful remedy. The strain is also telling on rnq, and as soon as this is Over I must go to the country and get ^rept. Mr. B. is completely ossified, but I can feel his breathing when I put my leUr to his chest. To-morrow. 'February 19.--The eud ifas come and I have accomplished my purpose. Mr. B. is dead. This uoou la laid him on the dissecting table for the purpose of better seeing how and when he died. At 12:13 I could feel no more respira­ tion, and 12:15 I knew he was dead. At 2 o'clock I had prepard a solution of arsenic with which 1 intended to bathe the body, preparatory to applying my hydroaspliele riuid. I put a portion on the wrist of my right arm, when to my horror I saw the lingers move. It startled me so that I spilled the entire contents of the glass over his arm.

Lawyer Ashley, of New York, was telling Judge Day a story of Daudet, the novelist, who is extremely near-sighted. The story ran thus: Daudet visited some place iu which were kept mauy animals. He sauntered slowly about peering into their cages until he came to a secluded spot where a furry object, not in a cage, attracted his attention. "Ah," said the distinguished French­ man, "this must be a tame bear." And, taking some cake from his pocket he flung it with a "there, old fellow" straight into the face of a Russian noble­ man, who, enveloped in his sables, had stopped to look at the bears near by. Imagine his anger and surprise. Dau­ det apologies, etc., etc. The Judge listened intently, but after the lawyer had finished he said gravely: "I can tell you something far ahead of that in the way of mistakes caused by near-sightedness. "A friend of mine who lives in the suburbs came from tbe city one sum­ mer evening just at twilight. He had broken his glasses and was almost feeling his way along, when ho became con­ scious of somebody walking directly in front of him. It seemed to be a short woman in a bright gown, wearing a wrap about her shoulders, one end of which trailed down behind her. She walked so heavily that my friend began to think that she must be exceedingly stout. A few steps more and the wrap touched the ground and dragged in the mud. This was more than his gal­ lantry could stand, so stooping forward he said: 'Allow me madam, to re­ place your mantle,' at the same time gently raising a red cow's tail and plac­ ing it across her back.--Detroit Free l'rexa. A-True Wife. It is not to sweep the house, make the beds, darn the socks and cook the meals chiefly that a man wauts a wife. If this is all he needs, a servant can do it cheaper than a wife. If this is all, when a young man calls to see a lady, send him into the pantry to taste the bread and cake she has made : send him to inspect the needle work aad bed­ ding • or put a «br ^om into her hand and send him to witness its use. Such things are important, and the wise young man will quickly look after them. But what the true young man wauts with a wife is her companionship, sym­ pathy and love. The way of life has many dreary places in it, and a man needs a wife to go with him. A man is sometimes overtaken by misfortune; he meets with failures and defeat; trials and temptations beset him and he needs one to stand by and sym­ pathize. He has some hard battles to fight with poverty, enemies, and sin, and he needs a Woman that, wh6*f he put his arm around her, he feels he has PteSmiMl* Much Time Going Oyer Then Every Oaf, Persons who daily pass William Te- oumseh Sherman's home, at 75 West Seventy-first street, right around the corner from the Ninth Avenue Railway, have grown afecustomed to see the tall and grizzled war veteran sitting at a broad desk in his cosy office in the front basement, turning the leaves of huge Bcrap books, and studying the details oi the maps which are pasted in those big books. The General wears at such times a curious pair of tortoise shell spectacles with great broad rims, and puffs away contentedly at the mild brand of cigar of which he is very fond. Heaps of letters lie on the desk * beside him, and nis private clerk, Mr. Barrett, seated at another desk in the eorner, busies himself arranging other corre­ spondence. The maps in the huge book on the table are the identical ones nsed by the General in his operations in the South during the rebellion. Many of them were pencil sketches, which were made by officers under his command in battle days, and all are marked with crosses and lined with red ink, and have marginal comments. Part of every week-day morning is regnlarily given up by the General to the study of these old mqfps. He knows them all so well that, with eyes shut, he can lay his fin­ gers upon points that mark the location of battles or strategic marches, and he chattily tells over again, goodnaturedly and with no trace of the old time bit­ terness of rebellion days, the story of the battles or the marches as he traces them with his fingers. He was busy tracing in this way 8 large map of North and South Caro­ lina one morning a week ago, when s visitor who dropped iuto the office asked him why be made it a custom to go over the maps so often. "To oblige my correspondents," the General replied, cheerily. "Hardly s day passes that I do not receive one oi more letters asking me questions about these old war operation. The letter? come from all parts of the country, and contain ail sorts of inquiries. Some ot them are impertinent; more are amus­ ing, and some are decidedly novel ano interesting. A great many points are referred to me by letter for decision, because friendly wagers have beer made upon the subject, Such bets art usually made in disputes about the lo­ cation of a corps during a march, oi about events that preceded or followed a battle. I am always giad to answer inquiries sent to nie in a prfeper spirit, because it affords me entertainment, and I like to oblige my friends. "To-day I looked over the North anc South Carolina maps for a visitor tc demonstrate the absm-dity of a pub­ lished story that my brother John had sent men to Kershaw County, S. C.. to dig up treasure buried there during my march to the sea in 1865. (This story came from North Carolina, and was to the effect that between $100,00( and $'200,000 of coin and jewelry wer« burried in a bag near Lvnch's Creek, about eighteen miles from Camden.) i turned to the maps and proved that ] did not pass within fifty miles of that spot. There was no occasion to burj treasure anyhow, and, what is more, all the people in that part of the conn- try I passed through were'too poor tc have treasure to bury. The,old General turned the scrap- book pages quickly after that, display­ ing with lively zest things of interest. Suddenly he paused and laid his hanc upon a little sketch about 4x4£ inche- in measurement, pasted in a lower cor ner of the page. It bore, in Genera] Sherman's handwriting, the pencilet" inscription: "McPherson handed mt this sketch a few moments before lu was 'killed,' July 22, 1864." Genera: Sherman explained that. Genera McPherson and he had sat down by the roadside to discuss the plan of approacl from Decatur to Atlanta on that day. and that General McPherson drew the little sketch to illustrate his reasont for moving to the left instead of to the right, winch latter course Gen&ia Sherman favored. While the two were chatting the Confederates came otr from the hills at the left upon the Union troops, and both warriors sprang up and hurried to their respective posts of duty. General McPherson'; dead body was brought from that bat tlefield a few hours later. The veteran showed many othei maps and autograph memoramda con nected with famous movements of the army and tragic incidents of the bat ties, and, rising at length, walkec briskly over to a fire-proof iron vault built in the northern wall of the office. Its iron door stood ajar, revealing some books and boxes filled with correspon dence ranged on shelves. "Here," he said, between the puffs of his cigar, "are all the books and papers that accu mulated during the war. They are m\ camp blotters and headquarters re ports, and my letters from Presided Lincoln and other noted personages They will stay there until I die." General Sherman regards the map.' as being, perhans, the most valuable part of his collection of war relics. T^ere are over two hundred of them of all sizes. He says that he know? just what they are worth, but he wil' not allow the publication of his esti timate. It is certain, however, that he values them at more than $50,000. foi that sum was offered for them some time ago, and the offer was not ac cepted. The General has resolved ii his own mind upon a certain disposi tion of the historical material, but he will not reveal his plans.--New Tor/, Sun. Crazes of the Moment. Ornamental book covers are amon£ the fancy work "crazes" of the moment. Much of the choice literature of the day comes in inferior bindings, and it is truly valuable to know that with a little ingenuity the same can be made taste­ ful enough to ornament the breakfast the drawing-room table. Of course.it must be prefaced that these book-cover­ ings are bits of economy. They are nol for those who can afford to purchase choice literature in appropriate cloth­ ing, but they are for those who covet the reading matter first and then peek to make it duly pre-entable. Very pretty covers are made of pasteboard", covered with fine French satine or cre- tonne, with a free-hand decoration of leaves or flowers. Deep shaded A Tourist's Odd Adventure.

He' be­ came a faro gambler, and in a few vears turned to their hotel, however, in good i was worth $500,000. Sluthour time, with one exception. One gentle­ man had missed his friends, and. after vainly endeavoring to regain sight of tliem,. he found himself in a most un­ pleasant position, for, having trusted im­ plicitly to the couductor, he had neglect­ ed to take note of the hotel at which the paitvwas staying, and did not even know exactly wheie it was. He looked about till two o'clock in the morning, but. strangely enough, coaid meet with no one who<could epeak Eng ish. An inter­ preter to whom he was taken quoted tbe names of a number of Parisian hotels, but he failed to distinguish among them the name ot the one nt which he was staying. The interpreter kindly allowed him to lie down and rest in his'office for two or three houre, after which he re- ions to be worth a million before return­ ing to hie old home, and one night, when the room was tilled with well-known sporting men, many of them worth their half million, he determined to try for a big strike. Luck again favored him, and by :>s o'clock in the morning he hud broken the bmk and won enough to make his fortune count a cool million. He was not satisfied with this, but kept on play­ ing the next night. Th«t very night he began losing, and before morning every dollar he had won the night before had vanished. He was a millionaire, how­ ever, for one short day. Even with this loss he was still pos­ sessed of an ample fortune, but he began playing a desperate game, risking thou­ sands of dollars at a time, but luck was | Hibbard's Rhcumatic and Liver PHK These Pills are scientifically compounded, uniform In actfon.

At length, getting disheartened and thinking that the only way to discover the rendezvous of his party was to come home to Luton to ascertain it, he hailed a>c«b, and, driving to the Northern Sta­ tion, entered a train mid started. He arrived in Luton on Sunday night, much to the surprise of his wife, who had not been expecting to see her husband for some days, and she was probably even more astonished on learning the cause of his hurried visit home. Before starting out from Luton each of the party had been furnished with several envelopes bearing the printed address of the hotel where they were to 6tay while in'Paris. Obtaining one of tbe envelopes, he re­ turned immediately. The party had been greatly alarmed at his prolonged ab­ sence, and a search party had visited the Prefecture of Police, the hospitals, and even tbe morgue, and inspected the bodies lying there, but. of course, could find no trace of him. When the incident was explained his friends wera, as may be ̂ imagined, very much amused. Oddities of Etiquette. In Sweden if you address the poorest person on the street yon must lift yo>ir uat. The same courtesy is insisted upon if you pass a lady on the stairway. To enter a reading-room or a bank with one's hat on is regarded as a bad breach of manners. To place your haud on the arm of a lady is a crave and objec ion- able familiarity. "Never touch the per- soh; it is sacred," is one of their prov­ erbs. In Holland a lady is expected to retire precipitately if she should enter a store or restaurant vfhere mt u are con­ gregated. She waits unlil they have transacted their business and departed. Ladies seldom ri=e in Spain to receive a male visitor, nnd they rarely accompany him to the door. For a Sp miard to give a lady (even his wife) his arm when out walking is lookerl upon as a deoid&l vio­ lation of propriety. In Persia, among the aristocracy, a vis­ itor seuds notice an hour or two before calling, and gives a day's noti e if the visit iR one of importance. He is met by servants before he reaches the house, and other considerations are shown him according to relative rank. The left, and not the right, is considered the post of honor. No Turk will enter a sitting- room with dirty shces. The upper cl isses wear tight-fitting shoes with voloshes over them. The latter, which receive all the dirt and dust, are lett outside the door. The Turk never washes in dirty water. Water is poured over his hands, bo that when polluted it runs away. In Syria the people never take off their caps or turbans when entering the honee or visiting a friend, but they always leave their shoes at the door. There are no mats or scrapers outside, and the floors inside are covered with expensive rugs kept very clean in Moslem houses and used to kneel upon while saying prayers.--London IVM tout Wisdom. . Hades a Crowded Region. A correspondent writes to the New York Sun: In round numbers the eartn has a population of 1,300,000,001), whom 1500,000,000 are professed Chris tians, the other 1,000,000,(100 being Mo hammedans, Buddhists, Jews, pagans and heathen. The whole race was condemned to eternal punishment for the sin Adam. This was the fall of man, from which there was and is no redemption save through the death of Christ. Biblical chronology gives the earth period of about 0,000 years. From Adam's time to Christ was 4,000 yearst during which period no humnn souls were 6aved. The population may then have averaged 1,000,000,000. Three genera­ tions, or 3,000,000,000, pass away in each century. Forty centuries, therefore, con signed 120,000,000,000 of men to eternal fire, and, for all we know, they are there now. Ip the 1,900 years which have elapsed since the birth of Christ 67,(ft)0, 000,000 more of human beings have lived and died. If all the Christisuis, nomi nal and real, wbo have ever lived on the face of the earth have been saved, they would not number more than eighteen thousand millions. Now, if we deduet this latter number from the grand total of one hnndred and seventy-seven thousand millions, we find one hundred and fifty nine thousand millions of souls who are suffering in the torments of hell fire, as against the eighteen thousand millions who have escaped.. But this is not the whole truth. *\obody believes that more than ten percent, of the professed Chris­ tians are saved. Calvinists themselves say that the elect are few.
