LOCKED WITH A LUNATIC.
A Young Lady’. Fearful Experience—
Her Hind limellled and Her
Hair Turned White.
Baltimore American.
Strange things happen back on
the mountains, and the half of
the curious occurrences are never told.
The writer a few weeks since spent
several days deer hunting on the
mountains. Game was scarce, but
the party was a lively one, and we had
a good time. A stormy night com
pelled the party to stop at a farm house
and ask shelter. A typical, hospita
ble Southern Colonel asked ns to re
main and make ourselves at home.
Among the largo family gathered at
the supper table the writer was par
ticular impressed by a strango-looking
woman who sat at the lower end of
the table and was not introduced by
the Colonel and had nothing to say.
Her face was thin and haggard, and
wore an expression of settlod melan
choly distressing to behold. Her hair
was snow white. After ten a niece of
the straage-looking woman,with whom
the writer engaged in conversation,
told him the following thrilling story
of her aunt’s fearful experieuce, which
had affected her mind and whitened
her bnir whon she was but uiueteen
years old:
Bessie Knowliug had been invited
to spend the Christmas holidays with
an aunt living aboat ten miles from
Harper’s Ferry. Sho accepted the
invitation, and in due time arrived at
her destination, where she was warm
ly welcomed. Several other guests
hod arrived a week previous to my
aunt, so that/he house was literally
packed,' len.v^| ; 'Tio ■'‘BccornmodafToD
for another visitor. On the lawn, a
short distance from the mansion, had
been built a one-room cabin. It bad
been comfortably furnished by the
hostess in anticipation of nn emer
gency of the present character. The
hostess stated to her niece that she
would be obliged to place her tem
porarily in this cabin unless she ob
jected to tho arrangement. My aunt
was naturally of a bold, adventurous
disposition, and lacked the nntural
timidity of most girls, so that she
quietly agreed to the plan. Tired out
with her trip, she told her aunt that
site would like to retire early, so a
lire was built on the cabin hearth and
everything made comfortable for the
night. My aunt was accompanied by
her hostess to tho cabiu, and before
sho retired sat with her for some
time talking over family affairs. As
she started to leave she discovered
that the bolt had been broken off the
door, necessitating her locking tho
door on the outside to keep every
thing secure. This she did after bid
ding her niece an nffeciicsatc good
night. Aunt Bess, after sitting by
the fire for sometime, became un
easy anti nervous, nn apparent pre
monition of what was about to occur
disturbing her. Sho finally disrobed,
and after replenishing the fire retired.
She tossed about uneasily for awhile,
and then fell into it fitful, lestless
slumber. She awoke several hours
later with a violent start, the same
uncanny instinct warning her of the
close proximity of some dread object.
The fire was bmning low on the
hearth, and, as tho night wns intense
ly cold, tho cabin was slowly getting
chiller. It wns near daylight, but sho
still felt that horrible dread, as of ap
proaching calamity. She listened for
sometime, when she beard something
move once twice under the bed. She
nearly fainted from fright, bnt having
reassured herself into the belief that
several thou.ao : oi,i exoi, TO iub!e for j>t wfts merely n dog, tamed over to
vipi'ini; p»rww to pic nnder oarpiti, etc., for >a!e J go to sleep. Suddenly tho bed moved,
this office. J accompanied by a loud yawn. Sho
hundred. Apply at
was nearly overcome ns Bbe realized
that the strange inmate was not, as
she bad imagined, a dog, bnt must be
a man. She lay in constant dread for
several minutes, not daring to stir for
fear of betraying her presence, but
finally decided to make a sudden
dash and gain the door aud liberty.
She was on tho point of putting her
resolve into execution, when she sud
denly remembered that the door was
locked on the outside, and that she
was practically a prisoner aud at the
mercy of an unknown intruder. She
laid quietly in bed, moving neither
band nor foot, the horror of the situ
ation steadily increasing, till she fear
ed she would loso her reason. The
seconds and minutes dragged their
agonizing length along, till the first
streak cf daylight appeared. The
monster several times during these
awful hours raised the bed, causing
its occupant to experience untold
agony of apprehension.
Finally, the object crawled out from
under the bed. It proved to' be a
man clothed in tatters, with the frag
ments of heavy shaokles banging to
bis wrists and ankles. The hair and
beard of the visitor were tangled and
ankempt, the former hanging' below
his shoulders. The brute stretched
his full length out by the fire, and,
giving u grunt of satisfaction, fell into
a deep sleep. The occupant of the
bed, realizing that at daybreak she
would inevitably be discovered, cast
her eyes wildly aroand for a biding
place. The heavily curtained recess
in one of the windows caught her eye,
and she instantly resolved to reach it.
Raising herself quietly on her hands
she crept noialessIy-Trtm un!rer Thi
bed, und reached the window in safe
ty. From this point of vantage she
looked with agonizing dread on the
sleeping brute. Overcome with fa"
tiguo and fear, she wns almost in the
act of sinking to the floor, when she
snddooly became awaro of the baying
of hounds, and the rapid hoof beats
of galloping horses. They approach
ed nearer and nearer, till she could
extinguish the excited voices of the
riders. She realized suddenly that
they wore on the track of the strauge
intruder, and silently prayed for im
mediate saccor. The voices died
away in the distance, grew loud
er and tbeu sunk fainter, the alternate
conflict of hope and fear almost ren
dering her frantic. They again ap
proached closer till they seemed to be
just outside of tho cabin door.
While listening she had uncon
sciously dropped the curtain folds
from her face, and suddenly glancing
in the direction of the fugitive, she
saw that be also had been awakened
by the confusion, and hav
ing risen to his feet, was glaring at
bfcr face with an expression that left
no doabt as to bis madness. For a
moment she'gazed fixedly into bis
eyes, and then made an involuntary
movement toward the door. The spell
which held the manic wns broken, and
he sprang toward her with a wild
snarl. The uufortun&te lady gave a
scream of despair and sank senseless
tho floor. As she sank into uncon
sciousness sho became dimly aware of
a bursting crash and terrific straggle
around about her. When she came
to she was lying in her aunt's resi-
didence surrounded by weepiDg rela
tives. The terrible shock incident to
the night of horror resnlted in an ag-
gruted attack of brain fever, tho ef
fect of which was to unsettle her rea‘
son. The strangest part of the story
is that daring her illness her hair,
which was of a chestnut t.-nge, began
to change its color, and ultimately
became white. The mauiuc whs tho
son of a neighbor and was mad from
birth. He was considered so danger-
ons as to cause his being chained.
The night my aunt arrived at her des
tination be had broken bis chains and
made his escape. HU friends, who
made the discovery shortly after it
happened, scoured a blood-bound and
started on his trail. They traced him
to the cabin, and had sent a servant
for the key, whon my aunt's screams
told its own story and caused them to
break the door down and overpower
the madman.
HE IS GOING TO GET EVEN.
Detroit Free Prete.
He got a letter out of the postoffioe
yesterday, which was hurriedly read
and indignantly flung on the floor.
On second thought be picked it up
and placed it in his pooket, but be was
still red iu the face, when he queried;
“From your tailor?”
"I wish it was,” was the reply- “No,
it’s blackmail.”
“How ?”
“Why, it’s from a friend who got
married a few years ago. I had an
invite to his wedding, and I bad to
take a present costing twenty-five dol
lars.”
“Of course.”
“Then his first anniversary occur
red, and it cost me twenty more'”
“I’ve been there, old fel.”
“Then he hnd n boy born and our
set had to whack up on that I guess
he named that onb after at least thir
ty of ns.”
“I see.”
“Then came bis birthday. Then
his wife’s birthday. Then the second
anniversary. Then the cab’s birth
day."
"‘•Exaotly. And now ?”
“Well, his motber-in-law has come
to live witn him, and this is an invi
tation to come and leave a soven-dol
lur rocking oliair on her sixty-fifth
birthday.”
“Andyou’ll go?”
“I'll havo to or be ruled out of our
sot, but I'll hove revenge. There’s
seven of us in our family, and I’ll be
hanged if wo don’t go at it aud hold
an anniversary or something or other
every two weeks for the noxt ten
years.”
The best time to water a horse is
an hour before or an hoar after eat
ing. If watered immediately before
eating the temperature of the stomach
is lowered beyond the digestive point,
and the food is not acted upon till the
temperature gets bnck to where it
ought to be. Soppose bis master
takes him to the watering trough im
mediately ufter eating and bis stom
ach is full of food and he drinks a
pail or two pails of water ? The con
sequence is that a portion of the food
is forced out of the stomach and is
swept along into the larger intestines
without ussimilation. In France Borne
years ago I saw some horses that
were going to be killed. They were fed
course beans, and immediately after
were allowed to drink all tho water
they would, and were then killed and
dissected, and some of these beans
were found six feet distant from the
stomach itself in the intestines.
“You are u good-for-nothing, lazy
boy,” said a Boston mother to her 10'
ynar-old son, who refused to relin
quish readiog a classical work to carry
up a scuttle of coal from tho cellar.
“Why, mother, I deny your allega
tion iu toto," he replied, with the dig
nity of a professor. Your assertion
is not only ahnorminally absurd, bat
merely constitutionally inert.
Whether the world goes round or
not, it is certain that that part of the

A PRIVATE IN THE REG CLAR
ABNY.
Chicago Tribune.
I would not advise a young man to
enter the army. I tell my boys to
get a bit of land, make homes for
themselves, and settle down to regu
lar, honest farmers rather than follow
a soldier’s life; and eo I would advise
others. To be tossed about from
pillar to post and never have any set
tled home is the fate of all soldiers,
and this is one of the great disadvan
tages of the army. We never know
to-day where we will be to-morrow.
We are constantly expeetiug orders,
and often separated from our families
for months and even years at a time.
There is an nnrest, a constant expec
tation of disagreeable orders, a lack
of home and home interests, that to
most men is intensely disagreeable.
No man in the army is for one mo
ment his own master; he is continu
ally snbjeet to the orders of superiors.
One says go, and he goetb; nootner
come, and be comety; no matter bow
great the distance, how long it may
keep him, what reasons be may have
for remaining at home—a sick wife or
obild is hardly an exaase for delaying
to obey an order, and even when sick
himself the soldier will often go on
daty. If he were a eitizen ho would
go to bed, bnt as a soldier there is a
pride about doing his daty which
oauses him tp up and away.
IN THE GRIP OF DEATH.
Hventowu Md. Glob*.
Thursday night of last week a bal
last train on the Shenandoah Valley
railroad, went throngh a trestle near
Bnebannan, Va., tho accident being
eaased by the heavy rain storm and
the consequent weakening of the tres
tle. Fonr men were killed. When
tho train went down one of the work
men bad bis foot caaght under the
engine in snoh a way as to make it
impossible to release him quiokly. It
was noticed that the stream into
which the train bad fallen was rapid
ly rising, and while one of the men
went for a physician the others vain
ly renewed their efforts to save their
companion. When tho physician ar
rived it was seen that the only hope
of saving the man’s life was by ampu
tating bis limb; bnt, notwithstanding
tbo entreaties of his friends and a
certainty of a dreadful death, the im
prisoned man refused to submit to
that operation. He said ho woald
rather die. Tbo water finaly arose
up so high that the man bad to bo
held up by a companion to koep him
from drowning. The doctor bad all
the necessary instruments for amputa
tion. Tbo other men implored their
companion to save his life by a sacri
fice of bi» limb, bnt he resolutely re
fused to submit. The water came to
his shoulders, bis Deck, his chin.
When the water was even with his
month the resolute man weakened.
As ho uttered the words “cut it off,”
the water bubbled over bis mouth. It
was then too late. He was drowned.
A fate like this is seldom witnessed.
The hearts of the stout men present
bled in sympathy.
We never regret the kind words we
have spoken, nor tbo retorts wo bavs
left unsaid; bat bitterly do wa recall
sharp words spoken angrily, and un
kind actions that may have caused
tears fo come to tho eyes that will
never shed them more.
