The Weather.
For two days past the weather has been mak
ing a regular squirtgun of the usually staid and
dignified thermometer. Several times it has been
at ninety in the shade, and one can sympathise
with the aged darkey who is said to have exam
ined a thermometer closely and remarked, “H’it
was a siua’t man dat made dnt trick. Ef he lmd
er made it one inch longer he would ha’ burnt do
wurl up.” The best the average citizen can do is
to fan himself and keep from swearing, while he
thinks of the ice men and the ill-wind that blows
nobody any good. We still have something to
be thankful for. Freezing is one of deaths most
insidious form of approach, and for the present
we are in no danger in that quarter.

—Rainbridge Democrat: Columbus now
claims a population of nearly or quite 26,000-

they get into it Rainbridge can double her
population in a few years also by the adoption,of

-Our river trade is soon to have another new
boat, making seven in all, one for every day in
the week, and a new one every time. This looks
like there might be money in steamboating on

steamboat men about it and see what their test i-

worse than farming in a bad crop year.

good and churches close by. Close to the river,

pure, cool and refreshing, and our town will be a
fine resort for the summer tourist and pleasure

JOHN BAIRD’S DELUSION.
Singular Condition of Mind of* a Oneo Eminent
Engineer— Believes Himself God Almighty and
Arts Accordingly.
New York, July 30.—In the inquiry now
being held before a sheriff’s jury into the
mental incapacity of old John Baird, the
engineer, who furnished the plans for the
construction of the elevated railroads in
this city, Addison Baird, his youngest son,
testified to-day. In response to tlie ques
tion whether he had noticed any change
in his father’s condition after his return
from Europe, the witness said: “At first he
seemed moody, but in a few days became
very talkative and was easily excited. He
was quite changed in this respect,
especially with strangers. Toward the
middle or October his mind seemed to run
toward the scriptures. He quoted script
ure constantly and based every action of
his upon it. One night he made us write
out a list of friends for him. He said all
of them were in the custody of God. A
list of his enemies was drawn up at his
desire, and he said they were all in the
hands of the devil. He once said that his
wife was to die the following Tuesday,
and wanted to have preparations made to
have my sister come and take charge of
the house for him. Shortly after he in
formed me that his wife was insane and
that she had told him so. I remember
one day he went out in his slippers and in
formed a man he met at the Union
League club that he was God Almighty.
•‘lie got the idea into his head about this
time that his wife and the attending phy
sicians were trying to poison him. We
went to stop at the Everett house, and he
behaved in a most peculiar manner. He
used to go to dinner and order nearly
everything on the bill of fare, and spend
from three to four hours at the table, in
sisting upon having me take everything
he did. He always gave from $1 to $5
to the waiter at the early meal
and as much to the chambermaid
and bell-boy every time he got them
to do anything for him. At about that
time he said he was the heir to to the
estates of Robert L. Stuart and of A. T.
Stewart. One day he called with me at
the house of Mrs. A. T. Stewart, but we
were unable to see that lady. The colored
servant at the house refused to let us in, so
my father began to abuse him, calling him
all kinds of names. After we left my
father told me he had gone there to take
possession ofthe house.
~“Al another time I was told ; by a friend
I met on the street, that my father was at
Delmonico’s. I went there and
found him very excited. He said
that he had just been to the
office of Samuel H. Seaman and had taken
possession ofthe Cromwell steamship line
in the name of God. He stated that Mr.
Seaman was a child of the devil and had
•285,000 | called in a longshoreman, who had put

Advice to ii Young Mini.
Bob Burdette in Brooklyn Eagle.
My son, injetter \vriting be entertaining,
be amusing, be brief, and if youcan.be
funny. A funny letter is always welcome.
But don’t be funny if you can’t. Don’t,
night to get out. oh, my son, don’t try to be funny. Unless
ntises and growls, you are morally certain that your fun is
funny fun, save it for a sermon. Nothing
in all this world is so fiat, insipid, tasteless,
vapid, utterly savorless as flat fun. It is
heavier than stupidity, staler than dull
ness, blanker than vacancy. Now and
then 1 receive a letter which some writer,
who is as devoid of humor as a cow
is of feathers, has tried to
make funny for my entertainment,
and as I dismally wade through
the dreary lines, my heart is painfully dis
appointed, because I think: “What an ex
cellent. sensible better has this g'ood-keart-
ed fellow spoiled, because he thinks I am
an idiot, doing nothing but grin and gig
gle all the day.” He could write a good
letter, too, did he write like his own natu
ral self. “But,” you say, “I might write a
letter that I thought was very funny, and
yet it would not be funny at all.” Well,
no, no, my son, no. You see, you have some
sense. You can tell a brilliant sunset from a
burning lumber yard. You can count the
feet of your poems on your fingers and you
know t nut stethoscope and phalanx make
not a good rhyme. You know when a
thing is funny and when it is flat. You
know enough to eat when you are hungry,
don’t you? Well, then, you know when a
sketch is really tunny and when it is
a disastrous imitation. “Well, then,” you
say, “you profess to be funny. Do you
think that everything you write is
really funny?” Oh, my son, my ten
der Tclemachus, if you dreaded to see
the Eagle as I do, if you went out into
! the wilderness and clubbed yourself
J with your pen as often as I do: if with
heavy heart and streaming eyes, alone and
in the darkness a failure, you buried as
many printed jokes, dead in the hour of
their birth, as I do, you would trade your
pen for a hand-saw and paint brush and
write spectacular dreams. Why, if you
make one-half as many successes as I have
made and do make twice as many failures,
the gods will envy you. “But do I bury
all my dead jokes?” No; I embalm some
of them. I may run short of copy some
day.

Playing-Cards in Filmland.
An official return just issued gives some |
interesting information about the manu
facture of playing-cards in England. At
present there are nineteen manufacturers
in the United Kingdom, who pay a license
of twenty shillings, and who produced
800,000 packs last year. This did not meet
the demand of the English card-player, so
half as many again were imported from
Austrian and American makers. The
stamp duty imposed on those cards is now
a fairly important source of revenue. Last
year it amounted to nearly £15,000.

D. F. Willcox, Agent Travelers’ Insurance Co:
Dear Sir—A few years ago you induced me to
take out an Accident Policy in the Travelers, and
upon your persuasion I have kept it up year by
year, not at all anticipating the possible benefit
to accrue. But I have now to thank you for it.
as well as for the.Company’s check of $353.57 in
payment of my claim for many weeks of disabil
ity, the result of a very painful accident, threat
ening the loss of my right hand. After this ex
perience of how it is “the unexpected which al
ways happens,” I shall certainly keep up my
Accident Policy, and I shall not forget the
promptness of the Company in paying my claim
as soon as the amount could be ascertained.
