A DEMOBILIZED UKDIDM. Kicked Out uf Doors With HU Glwitii and Cabinet. Dr. Francis Backnar was ia coart tt CoviagtoD, O., last Monday to aaiwer to a charge of •asaalt on Dr. Warner, a spirit- aalist mediam. Some weeks ago Warner took rooms at Baokner's, and before the latter knew wbat was going on bad gained complete control over Mrs. Backner and the children so far aa apirita&Uam was con- cerned. Backner ordered Warner to leave the hoase, bat the wife interfered and he remained. Last Sunday evening Backner came in from a professional viait and found Warner holdiog a seanoe in his parlor, assisted by two women from Chicago named Baghes and :^baw. Several neigh- bora were present and the disembodied wera making freqaent visits to the room. A white something, that claimed to be a dead sister of Mra- Backner, was sliding aboal- Before anybody realized what was going on Dr. Backner had the something in bis arms. It yelled, bat it was useless, and Backner dragging it to the hall door, threw it forcibly down the steps, when, after the wraps were removed, it proved to be Mrs. Shaw, with cat and bleedicg face. Bashin^j back, Backner caagbt ^klrs. Hughes and threw her out of a window, and then gave his attention to Dr. Warner, first warning the people in the room not to interfere. War. ner was knocked down and kicked, thrown against the wall and rolled under the piano. He was mauled on the head and Eummeled on the body. His nose bled, lood came from his mouth, one eye was closed, and bis clothing was remarkable for the variety of rents it displayed. Finally Buckner stood the medium up and kicked him out of doors down the walk into the street. Returning to the house. Backner smashed the cabinet and tc^jed Warner's personal effect! into the street, where a great crowd had gathered and cheered the doctor as he made spiritualism a wreck in the Backner household. The two ejected women had returned to the house, but Backner drovd them out, throwing their effects after them. Warner bad Buckner arrested tor aasaolt and battery and malioioas destruction of property. Warner presented a dol'sful ap- pearance. One eye was closed, an arm in a eling and his face disdgured. The tw« women, who appeared as winesses, looked little better. After hearing Bockner'a story the Judge dismissed him. and told Warner he tboughl he got oS easily. FBED-a FCNI8KHEXT.

" Fred, if yoa did that to me, if you went off with another girl, do you know what I would do ?" •No, dear. What?" " I would simply get bold of yoa and tell you what I thought of you, and then I'd leave you and never speak to you again." " Would you really do that ?" " Yea, I â€" no, I don't think I would. I would despise you and have too great a contempt tor you to take any notice of it at all or of you ever after.

The most remarkable for length of time daring which the deception was maintained was tbat of a person who. during a voyage from Franco to the Island of Jersey, acted in a strange manner and finally fell anoon- scioas. A doctor found that although dressed as a man it was really a woman. After bting sent to a hospital in Jersey she told her story, which was that at the age of 13 she bad been left an orphan and bad then adopted male clothes, which she had ever since worn without discovery. She was 55 years old and had therefore worn trousers for forty-two years. She had for the greater part ot her life pursued tho calliiii! of a cjurier, gnidiag parties ot travellers over all parts of Europe, ander the name of Louis Herman Tobush. She had done well at the business aiil had a balance at her banker's. When she was taken sick on the steamer she wore a fur waistcoat, a long overcoat, a stiff hat. and a turned down collar, and smoked a long pipe or a strong cigar, as she chanced to please. No one bad any suspiciou she was not a man. Amoni; the witnesses in a recent sail at the Palace of Justice in Paris was a person, ap- parently a yoang man, dressed tike a student, who was accompanied by what •eemed to hi an elderly gentleman of grave aspect. When the name of M'me Libert was called the young man stepped forward. " 1 beg your pardon," said the clerk. " I •m asking for a lady, and not a man." " But this yoang man is my daughter," exclaimed the sedate gentleman, stepping forward. The clerk decided to let the judge see the witness and settle the matter. The judge told the young woman to go home and put on proper clothes before she ap- peared to testify. " But I have not a single dress to my name," she exclaimed. It turned out the old M'me Libert runs a printing otVioe and had for a long time worn male clothing in order to manage her business better. She was bringing up ber daughter to the same caston.â€" ^fu? York Sun. . ^ Jof Beern Epitaph. Some time since the famous " Joe Beef" died at his residence on Cemmon street.

When returning to Bada Pestb, Mo- hammed Naim, an Afghan dervish, called upon me. He related to me the details of his extraordinary adventures, and the impression produced upon him through his dumb intercourse with the people is highly interesting. Judging men and things from an Afghan point of view, he was at a loss to find an explanation for the kindbeartednesa shown to him by a nation so utterly di£Ferent in religion, morals and habits. He very natarally arrived at the conclusion that his own countrymen, agitated by an incom- prehensible mode of thinking, are rode, cruel, and certainly inferior to the Christians among whom be wan- dered- "My Afghan brethren," he said, " by caring too much for the salvation of men belonging to another creed, are certainly acting against the rules ot hos- pitality and humanity, while the Chris- tians, by caring little or nothing for rs- ligioaa differences, really fulfil toward their fellow creatnres all the duties ot humanity and of sscial interooarse." This he gladly admitted ; but, on the other hand, he stanchlv adhered to the superiority of bis l^abommedan religion, and curious were the motives with which be tried to justify his opinion. " The Jews," he said, "accept and follow Moses as their prophet; the Christians, by ac- cepting Moses and Jesus, have got two leaders, and are in advance ot the Jews ; while we Mohammedans, by accepting Moses, Jesus and Mohammed, have got three leaders, and are therefore ahead of all as regards spiritual guidance, tor a people led by three leaders is certainly less exposed to loee its way or to stumble on the path which leads to truth." In the coarse of his further conversation be nevertheless felt himself obliged to confess that the Christian world is in the ascendency over the Moslem world, and that sooner or later all Islam will be subdued by the overwhelm- ing power ot tbe active, strong and just men of Europe. The downfall of the Mo- hammedans he finds inevitable, but he ascribes it rather to the sinful negligence and religious laxity of his fellow-believers than to the higher level ot tbe Christian religion. - J rminiu* i'ambery in Good IKorii*. AX U^FBECEDEITTED BACK. It Lasted 108 Day* aad IV aa Won by Only Ten BUnates. Two old aea dogs were celebrating New Year s Day in a cccnf ortable Utile grog-shop in the Plaza Mayor, the principal 8<iuare in Manila. One of them, Capt. Stuart, a Scotchman, was commander of tbe John McLeod ; the other, Capt. Sewell, an American, commanded the Paul Bevere. Both vessels were ftill-rigged ships, nearly the same size, and both were noted for their sailing qualities. The two captains were proud of their ships, and each claimed that his was the best. The controversy, at first friendly, became heated. Finally Capt. Sewell brought his fist down on the table and shouted : '• I'll race you to New York for anything you want to bet. Wa can sail from here the same day and we are both bound for the same port. What do you say ?" "Done, aaii the Scotchman. "Let it be tor the best dinner money can buy. ' Two days later both vessels had their cargoes aboard, weighed anchor and set sail for this country. For a long time they could see each other through their glasses, but when they reached Cape Horn they were driven far apart. Their destina- tion was never forgotten, and all the canvas their ships could carry was crowded on- The horizon was constantly scanned for a sight of the rival ship, but for more than a month without success. At length, when southeast of Hatteras, they sighted each other. They were almost abreast an i about fifteen miles apart. In this position they continued until night- fall. After dark a furious gale came up, driving them several miles out of their course. Sail was shortened as little as was consistent with safety, however. For four days the gale continued, during which time neither ship could gain an advantage. At last the weather moderated, bat the vessels had lost sight of each other. No time was lost, and both made for the wir.uing post, the:; only a few hundred miles away. Down the homeward stretch they came, until when day broke yesterday morning they were in sight of Sandy Hook- When Capt. Sewell got out his glasses and leveled them to windward, he yelled : â-  By Jehosapbat, there's the McLeod, and we're not a foot ahead of her." This was the literal trnth. Thetwoves. sels were " neck and neck " afteraraee of 108 days. Capt. Btaart saw the Revere about tbe same time and both ships crowded on every inch of canvas they could carry. Over tbe bar they came, up through tbe lower bay. neither having the slightest advantage. Just before they reached the Narrows tbe Revere got a slant of wind which the McLeod missed. It was not mach, bat it carried ber ahead and she dropped anchor at quarantine at 7.10 a.m. Tbe yell which went up from tbe throats of her crew awoke all hands on shore, who came out just in time to see the McLeod let go her anchor ten minutes later. Thus was won and lost the longest and closest race on ncoti.â€"S<w York C rretfindt'it CiKT.'j Jjumal. A POMTBB. As every reader oi this paper knows, it has become one of the fine arts to write attractive and interesting advertisements â€" especially medical ones. Now it seems to us that if, for instance, the world-wide advertisers of Warner's Safe Remedies would adopt a style whereby they could work in a startling story of. say â€" wolves, we believe the immense sales ot their medicines oould be still more largely increased. We give them the benefit of the idea at any event. Let it cemmence like this: Palter : Patter : Patter ! There it is again. It is not fifty yards from where he last halted. Tbe steps are too light for those of an Indian. A grizzly would rush upon its victim with a roar of defiance and anger.

A paradox is oftan a truth serving its apprenticeship. Children are the coupons on the bonds of marriage. White lies are the gentlemen ashera ol tbe black ones. Rarely do we contradict those we love or those we despise. Scratch a pessimist, and, more often than not, you will find an optimist turned sour. Many a man forgets his evil deeds so swiftly tbat be is honestly surprised when any one else recalls them. Man has a firmer grip on the truths be thinks he has found out tor himsalf than on those be has been taught. Many a man would blush for his wisest decisions if only he sboald refiecl on the reasons which moved him to them. To see a clever man making a fool ot himself is a sorry sight ; and it is piiiftil to discover tbat he can always give most ex cellent reasons for his folly.

If any horned animal kicks you, try to make it think you like to be kicked, Kiad treatment and the entire ignoring of a kick from a cow will generally cure. Animals kick because they are afraid of you and can t get out of yoar way. Convince them that you won't hurt thsm under any circumstances and the cause for kicking is removed. Far an unsafe or nervous cow. however, I use a rope, about three-eighths rope is beat. Tie a good snap to one end and a ring to tbe other, and have it about two or two and a half feet long over all. Pass tbe rope around tbe left hind leg jast above the gambrel joint, rive it one twisi between tbe legs and then snap the ends together outside the right leg. and your cow is harmless. The more she is inclined to kick, tho lighter the rope may be twisted. Now keep this rope hang- ing just behind the kicker and you need never whip her." Time Brtuga Wisdom.
