Dean • Curious Case of Insanity. “Well, yes," said a well known med ical practitioner, who lives within ;i da\ ’a walk of the city hall. "1 do meet some very curious cases and people sometimes. | I can hardly say'what is the most pecu- j liar malady 1 hare < t er seen, hut a lady l I am attending is suffering from a form i of lunacy for which 1 can find t o piece- I dent. She thinks she is being starved to j death and neglected by. her rt latives, j who arc in reality most devoted to her. ‘ She is about 40 years old, and not very ; long ago was quite a pretty bill - woman. ' Today I suppose sbo weighs 230 pounds, j and has the most enormous and unnat ural appetite you ever heard of. She j has five grown up children and lives j with a married daughter. “I have known her wake up the en- J tiro household in the middle of the night j and demand rice and milk. While eat- j ing it she wept and declared that her in- ! human daughter was trying to starve 1 her. It would have been laughable, but j for the pathos of it all, to see this im- . mensely stout lady seated on the floor, shoveling rice into her mouth with one hand, while with tho other she wiped away the tears that the supposed cruel conduct of her daughter had caused to flow. When not craving for food she i is a devoted mother and estimable lady. ■ Tho least delay in attending to her crav- j ings transforms her into a dangerous ! lunatic. She storms, shouts, and will attack any one. She will never lie cured, but, except as to her food, her sanity is absolute.— Brooklyn Eagle. Boston Library's Literary Cariosities. Under the glass showcases of the Bos- j Ion public library—supposed to be the !nost complete collection of books in this tountry—are exposed to view many lit- trary curiosities of a most interesting description. For instance, there is a copy sf The Nuremburg Chronicle, published fifty years after the invention of print ing, with wood cuts, pnd dated 1423. Near by is the epistle of St. Jerome in black letter, dated 1318. with Martin Luther’s autograph on the fly leaf. The title page of litile volume in the hand writing of David Garrick has tni3 in- f-cription: “A Dialogue Between an Actor and a Critic, by way of Prologue to the English Opera Called Tempest.” An • id t aped b> )k is the "Indian Primer, or the Fir.-t Book by which Children may Know Trulv to Read liie Indian Lan guage, and Milk for Babes.” One B. Green, of Boston, printed this in 1720. !!• re is also the first b Hot cast in South Carolina by a colored man It originally belonged to William Lloyd Garrison. Likewise on exhibition is the smallest complete book ever printed. It is a copy of Dante’s "Divina Commeuia,” struck o!T from the smallest type ever cast. Two sheets of paper, cut into sixteen parts, were enough to contain the whole 14.223 verses. The leaves-measure two inch', s in I iigth by one and a half in width. Tn<' tyi>e was cast in lSoO, but the compo itors and proofreaders cm- I'loved on th“ work repeatedly abandoned it, on account of the eye strain, and it was not completed until 1873. Hie type was t<x> small to "distribute.” and so, after using, it was melted and cast over again. Another interesting volume is ‘•The Indian Bible, Translated by the Apostle John Eliot.” It was printed in 18‘J3 at Cambridge, in Kutick dialect, a jiortion of the type being set by "praying Indians.” A book dated 1373, by Latin John, '.he famous negro scholar and poet i.; so rare that the British museum lias no copy of it. Juan Latino—as his name properly was—is celebrated as one of the most learned men of tho Sixteenth century. lie was professor of Greek and Latin in the cathedral school of Grenada, an accomplished swordsman, a beau, a wit and musician—in short, a sort of Admiral Crichton in burnt cork, as it were. lie fell in love with onu of the b'aulies of Grenada, and tiiov were mar ried by the bishop of the cathedral, Don John of Austria acting as best man.— Rene Baclie in New Orleans Picayune.

Physician ami Surgeon, Newnan, Ga Ancestors of the English. England and the English do not, after all, derive their name from the Angles, according to the long rooted tradition, so declares a German government professor, Dr. Boning. After extensive researches, he has discovered that tho word “Eng lish” x>riginate« from the "Ettgern, ” a numerous and powerful Saxon race liv ing near the banks of the Weser, on the North sea. This theory rests also upon the authority of the old British monk Gildas, who lived much earlier than Bede, and who speaks only of tho Sax ons who colonized Britain. Further, Wonder* of tlio Dead Sea. One of tho most interesting lakes or inland sens in the world i * the Dead sea, which has no visible outlet. It is not mere fancy that has clothed the Dead sea in gloom. The desolate shores, with scarcely a green thing in sight, and scat tered over with black stones and ragged driftwood, form a fitting frame for the dark, sluggish waters, covered with a perpetual mist, and breaking in slow, heavy,, sepulchral toned waves upon the , beach. It seems as if the smoke of the j wicked cities was yet ascending up to j heaven, and as if tho moan of their fear ful sorrow would never leave that God smitten valley. It is a strange thing to : see those waves, not dancing along and sparkling in the sun, as other waves do. ; but moving with measured melancholy, ■ and sending to the car, as (hey break ■ languidly upon the rock, only doleful j sounds. This is, no doubt, owing to the • great heaviness of the water, a fact well , known and which we amply verified in ! the usual way, for, on attempting to 1 swim, we went floating about like empty • casks. ! This experiment was more satisfactory in its progress than in its results, which Dr. Bening points out that our supposed . wcru a Te ‘ r y unctuous skin and a most forefathers, the Angles, dwelt on the ; pestiferous stinging of every nerve, as if Baltic, further off, and that their coun try was much smaller than tho land of the Engern.—Frank Leslie’s. Novel Railway In Switzerland. A Swiss engineering novelty—hitherto considered an impossibility—is an in clined railway on which the cars are drawn by cable round a curve. From tho Lake of Lucerne the track curves upon an angle of 112 degs. to the sum mit of the Burgenstock—1,330 feet above the lake and 2.860 feet above sea level Tho line is 3,030 feet long, and com mences with a gradient of 32 per ceut., wliich increases to 33 per cent, for more than half of tho distance. Tho motive is electricity, generated by two we had been lieaten with nettles. Nor was the water wo took into our mouth a whit less vile than the most nauseous drugs of the apothecary. That fish c;m- not live in this strong solution of bitumen and salt is too obvious to need proof; but to say that birds cannot fly over it and Live is one of the exaggerations of travelers, who perhaps w re not, like ourselves, so fortunate as to see a flock of ducks reposing on the water in appar ently good health. And yet this was all the life we did see. The whole valley was one seething caldron, under more than a tropical sun.—Missionary Herald.

To Have a Public Laundry- The English people, in view of ti; ■ vice and destitution existing in tae lower quarters of London, which has been brought to public attention lately on ac count of tho Whitechapel murders, are considering tho question of erecting an immense public laundry, which would provide work for these classes, and in tend to establish lodging houses for their protection and support.—Chicago Her ald. Disease of Grono Vines. The vine growers of the Santa Anna and San Gabriel valleys of California think that u new disease has attacked their vines. They call it "sap sour.” When attacked the vines wither and die at once. It is infectious and spreads rapidly. The best remedy thus far known is to pull up and burn the vines the moment they show the blight.- York Sun. -Netr A Costa Clean Delicacy. Aside from the scant rations he brings, the Yularo’s food consists mainly of wild hogs, or such other animals as he may bo able to bill, eked out by tortillas, and us an occasional luxury a dish of red beans stewed in fat. Monkeys are con sidered the choicest of morceaux, par ticularly the largo rod species, which are as highly relished by the hunters as are raccoons by southern darkies or Thanks giving turkeys by New Englanders, in deed Jin many parts of Spanish America monkey meat is eaten by both natives and foreigners, whose gastronomer tastes are harder tc please than those of tho hungry Yularoes. I can, myself, testify to the fact that a well broiled slice of young atv, though a trifle tough and strong, U not mere unpalatable than bear steak or buffalo meat, which it great!' - resembles. If one could over come the cannibalistic ideas engendered bv Darwinian nonsense, and not feel as if feeding upon black baby, monkey flesh would be decidedly preferable to pork as an article of diet.—Cor. Philadelphia Record. The Farmers’ Alliance will, on the ist day of September, open for business in the city of “ Newnan, a warehouse. The undersigned have been elected as managers, with full power to conduct and con trol the same. They are responsible for any losses that may be sustained through the neglect or mismanagement of the employeess. We have rented the house known as the Rus sell Warehouse, which is one of the best in the city, being large and well suited for the business. We have employed ! Mr. J. H. Russell to superintend the business. Mr. Russell 1 has for several years conducted business at this stand. His | moral character and business qualifications are too well known to require comment here. We will keep at the scales a com- Ipetent and trustworthy weigher. Our charges will be reason able. We have also arranged to make liberal advances, at reasonable rates, to those who wish to store and hold their cotton for spring prices. We solicit the patronage of all far mers in this and adjoining counties, and ask a liberal share of , the buyers and merchants of the city. We extend to and ask ! of the managers of other warehouses the usual business cour- ! tesies. We shall make no radical changes in the usual meth ods, hut conduct it on sound business principles. To the Al liance brethren of the adjoining counties we extend a cordial invitation to bring your cotton to this city and weigh with us. To the members of the Farmers’ Alliance in this county we desire to say, this is a business enterprise of your own crea tion, (through your delegates,) managed by men of your own selection.
