A DOCTOR’S STORY.
\ ~~~
On ft fine summer day in the year 187-.
I was proceeding by the South western
railway to visit a friend and former
patient, a resident of Portsmouth It is
not often that a medical man gets a holi
day. and but for the kindness of a fellow
practitioner, in taking my practice for a
fortnight. I should not have had this op
portunity of enjoying the sea breeze
The train by which 1 started was an
early one. and. having procured my ticket,
1 took my place iu u second class carriage
and lit tny cigar for it was a smoking car
riage On entering it 1 was surprised,
and, I think naturally so. to find the far
tber corner of it occupied by a lady
“Oho'” said l. inwardly, “some fast
American demoiselle who desires to in
dulge in a cigarette ”
On observation, however, it appeared to
me that the features of my fellow trav
eler did not bear upon t hem that impres
sion of cuteness which marks American
nationality She had soft, brown eyes, a
full, round face and a profusion of chest
nut hair She was dressed in a plain
traveling suit, bound with white braid,
and wore a straw hat.
“Maybe a German,” I soliloquized;
“they are terrible smokers. ”
But again it occurred to me that possi
bly the young lady might he neither
American nor German, but had got into
the carriage without noticing that it was
one reserved for the use of smokers.
Under this impression I bowed slightly to
her, saying
“l fear my cigar may annoy you. Per
haps you are not awaro that this is a
smoking compartment?"
U “Oh. yes, " sh 6 answered, with a slight
German accent, “yes, yes, yes, yea.”
There was something peculiar in her
slow, deliberate utterance and the four
times repeated monosyllable A dreamy
look, too, iu the speaker’s eyes, as if her
mind was preoccupied However, the
train was now in motion, and 1 had noth
ing for it but to esconce myself in my
corner, look out of the window and take
a bird’s eye view of the surrounding house
tops
For a short time this was well enough;
but I began at last to weary of the monot
ony of such an amusement We English
men. as a rule, are so reserved and unso
ciable that wo shrink into ourselves and
every fresh addition to the occupants of a
railway carriage or an omnibus is received
with black looks and a sort of tacit intima
tion that lie has no right to enter Now, I
am free to confess that, whatever my
failings, want of sociability is not one of
them; and 1 determined to try to engage
my companion in a little conversation.
There could be no impropriety in a man of
my age (I was 88) endeavoring to beguile
the tedium of a lazy journey by convers
ing with a fellow traveler, a school girl—
and certainly not out of her teens. It
was. therefore, with an almost, paternal
feeling that I addressed her
“There are not many passengers by this
train.” I remarked
“Two thousand and three.” was the
answer, that not a little startled my
equanimity
1 looked <it the speaker, expecting to
find a mischievous smile dancing in her
eyes, or lurking at the corners of her
mouth Nothing of the sort She was
perfect ly serious, even stern, and her eyes
had still the same dreamy far away look
in them
“Very absent minded, or else in love,”
1 thought to myseif. However, I tried
again
“I think we shall have a fine day for
our journey.” I ventured to remark.
She turned upon me with that fierce,
despairing, yet restless look that we see
in a trapped rat
“How you talk, talk, talk!” she said in
dignantly
“But”
“Are you mad?" she screamed In a tone
of intensified shrillness, and with such an
awful, hungry look in her eyes, that tho
truth Hashed upon me like an inspiration.
She was mad!
Medical man as I am. a feeling of hor
ror overcame me when I reflected that I
was shut up alone in the carriage of a
train, traveling at express speed, with a
lunatic True, 1 was a strong man. she
only a girl But it is Inconceivable what
extreme strength is possessed by many of
the insane I have known a woman thus
afflicted require two. and even three,
powerful men to restrain her during one
of her paroxysms
However, 1 endeavored to keep as cool
as possible as I looked the young girl
steadily in the face She looked at mo
for a moment or so without quailing; then
she sank back in her corner, resumed her
apathetic posture and sat gazing out of
the window’ with the far away look in her
eyes, as if no such person as myself was
in existence
“Poor girl!” I thought; and I began to
wonder who or what she could be, and
how she came to be traveling alone.
Could she have escaped from an asylum?
If so how came she to be possessed of suf
ficient funds to procure a railway ticket?
1 had had some experience in “mad
cases.” and I knew that the most out
rageous ones are those where the patient
maintains an even sullenness of de
meanor The girl's case did not seem to
me to be one of them On the contrary,
her sudden change of mood when I an
gered her seemed to indicate it to be a
case of temporary aberration of mind, and
consequently a curable one
I looked at my watch In a quarter of
an hour we should be at Basingstoke. I
was in the very act of returning my watch
t° my pocket when my companion, with a
mocking laugh—the peculiarly metallic
1 m^ K ot k* o * l 11 * s quite impossible to do-
Bcnbe—literally hurled herself upon me
fr o m°hT'ch m 8f n rCe ' broke U,e watc h
trom its chain and sent H spinning
through the window t n another secmtd
she was endeavoring to force herself a l so
through the window
Then commenced a terrible etrugglo. of
which 1 even yet shudder to think My
muscles were strained to their utmost
of tension, the perspiration poured
down my face, and my arms felt as if
about to be wrenched from their sockets.
And all this to restrain one of tho sex
commonly called the “weaker” from self
destruction.
All this time the poor girl uttered no
sound that could give warning u* tin*
guard or our fellow passenger* of the ter
rible struggle foi life or death that was
giomg ou within a few yards o( them As
f<tc my own voice the ext run rdi nary
physical effort I was making to restrain
the would be suicide entirely prevented
mv making the slightest use of it But
just as tny powers were falling me. and I
felt that I could no longer prolong the
struggle, the train beguu perceptibly to
slacken speed
“Thank heaven! Basingstoke at last.”
What followed is easy to relate Of
course, assistance was at hand and the
unfortunate young lady was removed to a
place of safety From letters which we
found on her and some articles of jewelry,
which we advertised, we speedily dis
covered her friends Naturally l as a
medical man. would not lose sight of her
till I had discovered them
The patient proved to be a member of a
German family, naturalized in England,
who was subject to periodical attacks of
mental aberration, but had never actually
been in an asylum
During the attacks, which invariably
came on without any warning, so that it
was difficult to watch her. she was seized
with a restless desire to wander over the
country, and. it appeared, had merely
selected the Southwestern line because it
happened to be the nearest to her own
home
She had been so long without an attack
that her mother and sisters had on the
previous night ventured to go to an even
ing party, leaving Lotta fast, asleep in bed
at home During their absence she eluded
the vigilance of the servants, got up and
dressed herself, walked about for some
tune and took a ticket for the early Ports
mouth mail—at least that was what she
imagined, and told us, on her recovery
Her memory, however, was very imper
feet, but the poor child must certainly
have walked about the streets for some
time prior to the departure of the ex
press.
It w T as natural that under the circum
stances —l have already stated that 1 had
had considerable experience in such cases
—her friends should ask me to eudeavor a
cure.
I undertook it and entirely succeeded.
And also I undertook and succeeded in
something else.
It is my wife who is looking over my
shoulder as I write, and who says;
“My dear, the maddest act of all my
life was when”
But here I stop.—Hartford Times.
About Cuban Railway Travel.
There are some odd regulations about
Cuban railway travel Ticket offices are
closed five minutes before departure of
trains; and if one thus faps of securing a
ticket, one-third additional to regular fare
is exacted for tho first division over which
your route may lay You are allowed to
carry free only a hat box or a medium
size valise, but if your train does not
make schedule time, you can stop any
w’hore along the route and get your entire
fare refunded No “persons of color” are
allowed in first cars, though game cocks,
iu baskets, are; and if you attempted to
ride upon the platform or to occupy more
than one seat, you w’ould be immediately
turned over to the goiardia civil, whose
members ride on trains between stations
to tiirt with fair senoritas. and to con
stantly enforce the fact that Spain owns
Cuba.
As in most European countries, there
are three grades of passenger coaches
and all are modeled on the American plan
The third grade cars have only solid wood
seats; the second are very plain but the
seats are of “cane;” the first are very
pleasant and convenient, and in most
cases prettily enough decorated, the
woven cane seats taking the place of our
plush cushions ou account of the differ
ence in climate The conductor is uni
formed as with us. and is the busiest man
on earth for the amount of business he
transacts He is at everybody every five
minutes for re-examination of tickets, and
a pompous guardia civil, a soldier of one
of the three classes of military in the
islaud, is forever at his heels glaring ini
pudently into faces, demanding with
maddening frequency your passport if
you happen to be a foreigner, and espe
cially if an American, whom the Spaniard
loaths. and searching your person or even
a lady’s reticule if the whim seizes him
There is no chance for comfort or pleas
ure under this regime You are arranged
and righted and adjusted and watched
and glared at and bullied a hundred times

The triumphs of the Constitution in reporting
the campaign of 18x4 are well remembered! It
was the first Southern paper to announce Cleve

celebrated that event before other Southern cities

THE CAMPAIGN OF 1888
are fuller than ever before. We have established
correspondents in Boston. New York, Cincinnati,

trips through the doubtful States.
Through special and exclusive arrangements
with the Boston Herald. New York World, Chi

progress of the campaign will be detailed in the
Constitution as in no other Southern newspaper.
Special letters will be printed weekly from the six
leading correspondents of the country.
The Constitution stands, as it has always
stood, high in the confidence of democratic lead
