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.

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

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.

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.

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."

That Insidious Foe to Health,
Aa atmosphere impregnated with tho 6eeds of

Throughout tho Vest, indeed in every part of

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.

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.
