if ; v G o o o s o o o ! o 0 o o ! I I I J Thieves by Birth. 1 was invited to a jail in Masacliusolts a young lawyer, "who has since become L nited States Senator, to examine the head of a client of his whom he was to defend on the charge of stealing. No information was given as to his alleged crime, and we described the young man as being abnormally acquisitive, or sel fish in respect to possession; that he had very strong veneration, and would mani fest much religious devotion, and would be sincere in it; while with his small cautiousness and conscientiousness, and very large acquisitiveness, he would be likely to tresspass upon the rights of others in the way of stealing. At this point the lawyer told the young man he might tell me what he had told him (the lawyer). He went oh to relate that he had been in the habit of stealing everything, whether he wantoa it or not; tuat ne would go to prayer meeting and take the opportu nity of praying two or throe times dur ing the evening, and sometimes on the way home he would be inspired with a devotional kneeling, and would kneel down in th& corner of the fence alone and have a season of prayer that was sweet and heavenly to him; and, strange as it may seem, if he saw a hoe hanging on a farmer's fence or a whiflle-tree chain, or pin of a cartneap, or a beetle and wedges, or an old axe half worn, he would steal it, and afterward it would occur to him that he could not use the articles, nobody would buy them, and his only way was to conceal them ; and he remarked that there was a hollow log lying in a small piece of wood in which he had secreted the Articles which he had stolen because he dare not carry them home nor offer them for sale. But it seemed to him that he could not help stealing them; the impulse came on, and though he was sincere in his religious devotions, and exceedingly happy in their performance, he seemed to him self to be left to the temptation of the devil when anything which might be solen was left in his way. A man who was a minister called for an examination, and at the end of along and sharp analysis of his character, in which acquisitiveness and secretiveness had been described as strongly devel oped and very active, and also consci entiousness and cautiousness had been estimated as large, he seemed unwill ing to go, but walked up and down the room for several minutes, as if he had some burdened question he wanted to ask and yet was afraid to ask. Turning to him, I said: "Do you wish to ask any questions?" "Yes," he said; "there is one thing about me which you do not seem to have described. If you will tell me that, I will believe in phrenolo gy." I instantly replied: "You have an inclination to steal; but probably manage to lefrain from it." He opened hia eyes with terrified astonishment, and, giving me such a fierce gaze as never willbe forgotton, remarked: "Sir, that is true. Tiiat is my trouble. I am a clergyman, sir, and hope that I am a true one; yet I have all my life long been tempted to steal, and in my par ochial visits often have an impulse come over me to take something; and if left alone in a room I do take it; and some times it requires half an hour to find a convenient opportunity to get the article thus taken out of my pocket and back upon the shelf or table where it belongs. It may be a shell which every Sunday school child in the parish knows; it may bo an old hymn-book with a name written on it, and half worn out things which I do not need, and could not use if I did need them, without the theft be ing detected." And he remarked, with tears tumbling down his face, "By the help of God I have been able, hitherto, to refrain from carrying away anything which I had thus, under the impulse, stolen." Twenty-five years ago there was a well-to-do farmer's wife in Connecticut who had an impulse to steal only one kind of an article, and that was blue stockings. If she were driving, in the middle of a bright afternoon, a mile from home, where she and the horse and wagon were well known, and she caught sijht of a pair of blue stockings hanging on a lino in the yard with other clothiug, she would stop her team, get out of the wagon, go into the yard in front of the room where the family were working, and jerk those stockings off the line, leaving a dozen pairs of other colors, return to her wagon, whip up the team and get out of the way. If she had ben a stranger, whose peculiarity was unknown, she would have been fol lowed, and arrested, and punished ; but every body knew that she had that queer monomania for blue stockings. I examined a man's head and describ ed him as being very fond of money, happening, of course, to use that term, money, instead of property, and it made quite a sensationbecauso.it was known that he would steal money, and he did not hesitate to talk about it himself. But he wquld steal nothing else, no matter how "valuable, though he knew he might bo detected. Nelsoti Sizer. o Kecoveky from Electric Shock. . The Philadelphia Inquirer describes a case which is somewhat hard to credit. It says a young man named "Wair'ck, who lives near Chew's Landing, New Jersey, was struck by lightning while in a field near his house. The stroke shattered a tree that was some distance from where he was standing, and pros trated hira. It was believed he was dead when picked up, and for several hours afterward he gave no sign of life. His father applied to Dr. Urquhart, who advised Mr. Warrick to apply to his son's spine and waist cloths soaked in a mixture which the doctor made for him out of oil of cayenne and water, and with whiskey, of which about three tablespoon fuls vere added to the cnp full of water. Mr. Warrick did as he was directed, and his son, although he had been lying in a stupor for 16 hours before the application of the cloths was made, spoke in about five hours after the first application. He has since been progressing favorably, and it is not un likely that he will fully recover. A Neobo Preacher had elaborated a new theory of the Exodus, to wit, that the Eed Sea got frozen over and so af forded the Israilites a safe passage, but, when Pharaoh with his heavy iron chariots attempted it, they broke through and were drowned.' A brother rose and asked for an explanation on that point. "I'se been studyin jo graphy, and the jography say dat be very warm country where dey have de tropics. And de tropics too hot for freezin. De pint to be 'splained is, 'bout breaking through de ice." The preacher straightened up, and said: "Bradder, glad you axed dat question. vIt give me 'casion to 'plain it. You see dat -was great while 'go in de ole times 'fo dey had any jography 'fo' dare was any tropics." IP Montenegro. THE TRIUMPH OF THE BRAVE MOUNTAIX OF THE TURKISH EEB WITHDRAW AL TROOPS. The withdrawal of the Turkish forces from Montenegro is an acknowledge ment either that it is impossible to re duce this principality on the rocks, or a confession that the troops which have been operating there are more urgently needed south of the Danube. What ever the motive, the triumph of the rebels in the Black Mountains is com plete, and, for the first time in several years, they are at liberty to resume the habits of peace and the customs of civ ilized government, so far as they are j acquainted with them. The ultimate success of Ttussia being conceded, the subordination of Montenegro to the Porto is, no doubt, forever at an end, and another change is accomplished on the map of Europe. Turkey obtained possession of the principality toward the end of the four teenth century. Its semi-independence was stubbornly maintained, however, and its local government was exercised for three centuries by Prince-Bishops, until the last of them" Danilo I., pro claimed himself a secular monarch. The conflict between Montenegro and Turkey has been incessant, the moun taineers and the Porto supplying each other with pretexts for war for 250 years. The Turks have sent at various times, an army of .upward of 100,000 men to subjugate a little sterile rookery, 1,700 miles in area, having an entire popula tion of about 120,000, no standing army, not a seaport, and not revenue enough to support a Prince; and the victories have been fairly divided between the rebels and the Ottomans, but no definite re sult was ever brought about which sat isfied both. In 1714 the Turks took 20,000 Montenegrins prisoners. In 179(1, 30.000 Turks were slain in the mountain fastnesses. Wars occurred, with periodical interruptions, from the beginning to the present century; and, in 1858, treason in the Montenegrin camp attempted to accomplish what the arms of the Turkish empire had so re peatedly undertaken in vain. An uncle of Prince Danilo wa3 detected in collu sion with Ottoman emissaries, and in 1800 Danilo himself was assassinated, having fallen under a similar suspicion. The war terminating by the abrupt withdrawal of the Turkish forces was begun in tho autumn of 187G, on ac count of the smypathy of the Montene grins with the insurgents in Herzegov ina and Bosnia. Thejblockade of the fortress of Nicsics, commenced in April, 1876, was stubbornly resisted, but it finally yielded, and was garrisoned by Ottoman troops. On July 2, 187G, Mon tenegro and Sorvia jointly declared war against Turkey, Montenegro's specific demand beinj that the Turkish garri son should be withdrawn, and the fort ress maned by her own troops. Defeats of the Servians by the Turks, and of the Turks by the Montenegrins was the al most invariable order of battle until after ihe capture of Alexinatz, Servia.onOct. 31. Mukhtar Pasha was then able to consolidate his forces against Montene gro. An armistice of 6ix weeks was ar ranged, which was afterward extended during the sitting of the conference at Constantinople. Peace was established with Servia, but the Porte refused to cede Nicsics and the mountaineers re sumed the offensive. How many thous and of Turks have fallen in this mon strously unequal contest it is impossi ble even to speculate; net less than 25, 000, upon Turkish statements of the troops sent to operate t cere. It is not hazardous,, in the light of impendin events, to surmise that the last Turkish commander has ld his turbanod ruer cenaries up the heights. The fate of Montenegro, in the read justment of tributaries which must fol low a settlement of the subjection of Turkey by Hussia, lies between Russia and Austria. The people are Slavs, of the non-united Greek church; but geo graphically their natural dependence is upon Austria. Chicago Times. Photographs of Blood. It is stated that Dr. J. G. Richardson, for the pur pose of illustrating in criminal cases the distinguishable appearances of different kinds of blood, has flowed drops of blood from different animals so nearly in contact on the glass slide, that por tions of the two drops appear on the same field, and can be photographed together. Dr. C. Leo Mees has modi fied this method, and obtained exquis ite results in specimens presented to the microscopical section of the Tyndall As sociation. He spreads the blood by Johnston's method, which is to touch a drop of blood to the accurately grouud edge of a slide, and then draw it gent ly over the face of the other slide, leav ing a beautifully spread film. In this way one kind of blood is spread upon the elide, and another on the cover. When dry, one-half of each is carefully scraped off with a smoothly sharpened knife, and tho cover inverted upon the slide in such position as to bring the re maining portions of the film into apposi tion. Under tho microscope, and in the photograph, the two kinds of blood aj pear in remarkably fine contrast, even those bloods that are too nearly alike for safe discrimination in criminal cases being easily distinguished when thus prepared from fresh material. REVOLUTIONARY O UTHOORAFHT. This is the exact fashion in which the brave and brilliant Francis Marion once wrote to Gen. Greene as in a letter just pub lished for the first time: " Sr I had the honor of wrighting you the 10th Instant, & Inclosed a treaty made with Gainey since which I find the greatest part of those people will submit a few of them pretends to stand out t I am Just on the march to mars bluf where I shall pass the river and march to the north line where the Disappinted live & hope in ten days to put an End to the Expedition and Leave this part of the country in peace. Fanning went off two days ago with sixty-one men to Chas toun, he was seen at Black river but can not Learn where his men is gone, but Emagin they have taken the same rout as their Leader." The gallant 6oldier was not hampered by anyabsured punc tilios of spelling. Two friends just married were, a few days ago, discussing rapturously, as they congratulated each other, the merits and charms of their tpouses. Said one: "My wife has got the loveli est head of hair I ever saw, even on the hair-renovator labels. When she lets her hair down the ends fall to the floor." "That's nothing," replied the other. "When my wife lets down her hair, it all falls to the floor." Dr. Hall says that for the period of a month before marriage, and a month after tleatn, men regard then angels. wives as Xiunatios. THEIR SlNOCTiAR VAGARIES. "Yes, sir, I'm the light of the world," said a hatchet-faced, emaciated man in the City Hospital for the Insane on Ward's Island. And he looked at the Superintendent, Dr. A. E. Macdonald, seemingly expecting some acknowledg ment of the truth of his assertion. Gettinsr from the doctor a nod of re spectful assent, the patient continued: "You know, Doctor, mat x nave oeen skinned alive here burned alive, scald ' ed alive. You know it. Doctor. My bones have been taken out of my body one by one. My head has been screwed off and screwed on again." "Why did they take your head off?" the Doctor inquired. "Oh, you know, Doctor, you know well enough," the patient replied, re proachfully. "You know that my head is the moon and my skin is the stars. Where would you get your light at night, I should like to know, if it wasn't for me ? Doesn't my blood sup ply light for all the street lamps in that big city over there ?" As he said this he waved his hand toward tho opposite shore, where the thousands of little gas jets glimmered through the darkness. "Once," he continued, "my head was as big as our friend, the Doctor's here. Now see how thin it is." And, as he stroked his poor, shrunken cheeks, his head dropped upon his breast, his jaws dropped, and he looked unutterably sad. "Yes, but," said the Doctor, trying to rally his patient, "if your skin is all taken off and your bones are takeu out, how is it that there is anything left of you ?" The patient did not raise his eyes from the floor. As the Doctor was mov ing away the poor fellow mumbled in answer that he supposed his body was repaired as fast as it was destroyed. "That's a curious case," said the Doc tor. "It is a mixture of mania and mel ancholia." A stout-built, excessively nervous man, with black hair and beard, was next visited. He fancies that he has an electric battery in him, and that his en emies hold the wires, and use them to draw away his thoughts. "They came back again last night, Doctor," the patient said. "They came and took my lungs out." This case reminds you of a patient posseseed of a similiar hullucination described in Reade's "Terrible Tempta tion." Another fellow says he has a doctor in his body, who moves about to physic and torture him. "Can you feel him to-day ?" Dr. Mac donald inquired. "Oh, yes," was the reply, "I can feel his shoulder pressing here," and he put his hand to his left breast. "Then, where is his head ?" asked the Doctor. The patient felt all over his body and about his throat, and then shook his head, saying, "I don't know where his head is to-day." N. Y. Sun. Force of Imagination. Tho distinguished English naturalist, Dr. Buckland, one day, gave a dinner, after passing the forenoon dissecting a Mississippi alligator, liaving mvitea a good many friends of science to dine with him. Hs homo and all his sur roundings were in good style and taste; his guests came at the appointed hour; the dinner table showed finely with glass, china and plate, and the dinner commenced with most excellent soup. "How do you like the soup ?" asked the Doctor, after having finished his own plate, addressing a famous epicure of tho day. very good, indeed, answered tue ! latter. ""Turtle, is it not? I only ask because I do not find any green fat. The Doctor shook his head. "I think it has something of a musky taste," said another-; "not unpleasant but peculiar." "All alligators have," replied Buck land; "the cayman especially so." There was "a general rout of all the guests. Every one turned pale; half a dozen started up from tho table; two or three of them ran out of the room and vomited; and only those who had stout stomachs remained to the close of a very fine dinner. "See what imagination is," said Buckland. "If I had said to them it was turtle or terrapin, or birds'-nest soup; salt water amphibia or fresh, or the gluten of a fish from the maw of a sea bird, they would pronounce it ex cellent, and their appetite and digestion none tho worse. Such i3 prejudice." "But was it really an alligator?" asked a lady who had listened to his story. "As good a calf's head as ever wore a coronet?" answered Buckland. Secret Society of Servant Girls. The Dubuque, Iowa, Times says: "A lady of this city has for some weeks past been endeavoring to re-engage a servant girl who worked for her a couple of years ago, &nd gave excellent satisfac tion. But the girl resolutely refused to come, though sho acknowledged she liked her former mistress as much as the latter liked her. She was promised employment jffe longas shedesired, even for years, but she still remained immov able in her refusal. Then the lady urged her to give her reasons for refus ing so excellent an offer of a permanent place with one whom she acknowledged she liked so well. Then the girl ac knowledged that she was a member of a "ring," or secret society of servant girls, all and each of whom were pledged to bring from their employers a given amount of provisions meat, or flour, or butter, or soap, or something each week, and in return for this, when- out of employment, the person to whom these things were given, sup ported them until they found, or she could find for them, another place. And the girl refused to re enter the employ ment of her former mistress, "because," said the girl, "you were always kind and good to me, and I cannot steal from you." The girl is one of four sisters who belong to this secret society. A crumb of a boy stole a turnip from a Woodward avenue grocery yesterday, and he was walking up High street and gnawing away with a great relish, when a pedestrian halted him and said: "It's good, is it ?" "Yum yes," replied the boy; "it's good, 'cause it's a change from oranges and bananas and California pears. If I lived. on turnips all the time, as some folks do, I shouldn't relish this a bit." The jedestrian seemed to mind his own business as soon aa he could. De troit Free Press. A crusty old bachelor says that Adam's wife was called Eve because when she appeared the day of man's happiness was drawing to a close. COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, That Insidious Foe to Health, Aa atmosphere impregnated with tho 6eeds of malaria, ia rendered harmless by tbo timely uso of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters; and if a resort to this benignprotectivc agent has unwisely been deferred until the fever fits have developed, it will have the effect of checking them and pre venting their return. This statement is corrob orated by thousands who have tried this medi cine for fever and aguu and bilious remittent fe ver, besides affections of tho stomach, liver auJ bowels peculiarly rife iu malarious localities. Throughout tho Vest, indeed in every part of the American continent where malaria prevails, it is tho accepted specific. Nor is the arta of its usefulness circumscribed by the limits of the United Sta'es, since it is widely used in South America, Mexico, Australia, and elsewhere. BILLIARD TABLES . P. LlESEXKELD. Tho improvements made in Billiard Tables and in tho methods of manufacture, within tho past few years, have Ix-en very important. Is'o place, however small, but boasts of its billiard rooms, either as a separate inotitutiou or in con nection With the most prominent houses in the towns and cities. Billiard Tal-L1 making to-day has been brought to perfection through Ameri can genius and enterprise ; for in no ether coun try in the woj Id are such perfect tables with such superior finish, as manufactured in the United States. These suggestions led tho writer to view tho magnificent sr cimens now on exhibition in the salesrooms of Mr. I'. Liesenfeld, at No. 571 Market street, this city. This gentleman makes the American Standard Bevel BUIiard Table with Collender's patent steel plate or combina tion cushions ; also the .French Curve, Centen nial, and all the new styles of Billiard Tablet. The Centennial Tabl9 is'mado of black walnut, inlaid with gold, and is altogether an degant table, being a suitable ornament for the finest mansion or club room. They are found in all our billiard rooms, hotels, private resi dences, etc. Mr. Liesenfeld is a practical man ufacturer in this line, and prides himself in t'-e productions that come from his workshops. We have no hesitancy in saying, there are none bet ter made. The materials used in their construc tion are of the best quality ; tho method of put ting them together bracing each part firmiy to the other makes them very solid, and not lia ble to get out of level, and are supplied with the patent combination and patent steel plato cush ions which stand unrivaled for durability and accuracy. Eleven first premiums Cave been awardt d to these tables, including each year at San Francisco Mechanics' Fair; at the Interna tional Exhibition, Sydney, Australia, in 1875 and 1876 ; in the contest with New York and Paris ; also, at the International Exhibition at Santiago, Chili, and others. To use the words, the char acteristics which has given Mr. Liesenfeld's ta bles such a wide reputation, are: " First-class workmanship, uniformity of construction and durability." Tabhs are made in California lau rel, rosewood, walnut, maple and other woods, and vary in price from $250 to S450. For comeuience, a price-list and catalogue is at hand, which gives full particulars and which should be in tho hands of all who desire the best tables made. Mr. Liesenfeld also manufactures and has on hand the new Parlor Bagatelle Tables, which article is sold at prices ranging from 12 50 to 540, and is just the thing for families, hotels and saloons it occupies but little space and is very attractive in appearance. Pigeon Holes, etc., are also made, as well as kept on hand, and all the trimmings, etc., necessary for tables. Mr. Liesenfeld is meeting with success, and we are glad of it ; he deserves it ; ho is courteous and p- lite, and his wares sneak for themselves. S. F. Commercial. I'eruvlaii Syrup. Buooks, Mo., Sept. 7, 1870. Dear Sir From early youth I was iu feeble health, troubled with humor in my blood, weak ness and debility of the system generally; was unable to labor much, and only at some light bushiL-sj;, aud then only with great caution. Sew ii years ago, the past Spring, I had a se vere attack of Diphtheria which left my limbs paralyzed and useless, so I was unable to walk or even sit up. Noticing the advertisement of Peruvian Svkup, I concluded to give it a trial, and to my great joy soon found my health im proving. I continued tho use of the Sybit un til threo bottles had been used, and was restored to complete health, and have remained so to this day. I attribute my present health en tirely to the use of Percvian Syrup, and hold it in high estimation. I cannot sicak too highly in its praise. I have in several casts recom mended it in cases very similar to my own with tho same good results. Yours truly, Cu.vkles E. Peakcv. From H. Thntcher, JMf. IK, ol Ilermun . ew York.
