The trial laSb‘EQ 60111 July 15 to Aug. 20 in
elusive and attracted the attention of the
civilized world—scarcely more by the impor-
tance of the issues than by the abilities of
the counsel. On behalf of the state appeared
States Attorney Julius S. Grinnell, assisted
by Messrs. Frank Walker, Edmund Furth-
man and George C. Ingham; for the accused,
Capt. W. 1’. Black, Moses Salomon, W. A.
Foster and Sigmund Zeisler. The jury

retired at3z30 p. m.,and at 10a. in. next
day, Aug. 20,returned a verdict of guilty
against all the defendants, with a sentence of
fifteen years in the penitentiary for Oscar
Neebe, and death for the other seven.
The trial began and ended with sensations. ,
On the first day A. R. Parsons, who had
escaped and been in hiding, walked into tht
courtroom, announced his voluntary can
render and took his place in the dock will
his friends. At the close, when asked by the
court if they had ought to say why sentence
of death should not be pronounced, they all
made long addresses, those of Parsons and
Fielden being the best. That of Spies con-
sisted of pleading and defiance, reasoning on
liberty and quotations from Scripture. In
the course of his remarks he spoke of Christ
can. Socialist. Schwab and Neebo gave ar-
guments against the regularity of the trial.
Ficlden excited some astonishment by say-
ing: “The great Socialist, Jesus Christ, said
1,900 years ago: ‘Better that ninety-nine
guilty men should go unpunished than that
one innocent man should suffer.”1 Judge
Gary then sentenced the seven men to be
hanged.
APPEALS T0 HIGHER COURTS.
The usual application for a new trial was
filed and the entire method of the trial ro-
argucd for several days. The application be-
ing refused, an appeal was taken to the
supreme court of_Illioois, and once more the
whole case was thoroughly argued. It is
needless to detail the legal steps; suffice it
that somuch time was consumed that the
case did not reach the supreme court till
March 17, 1887. Then Messrs. Grinnell,
Walker, Ingham and Attorney General
Hunt, for the state, and Messrs. Black, Salo-
mon, Zeisler and Leonard Swett, for the de-
fense, discussed the issues as to whether the
court below had erred, whether the Anar-
chists had been legally condemned to death
for more conspiraey, whether the jury was
properly constituted and many others.
The weight of argument before ' the
supreme court turned upon the proper con-

struction of the two sections in the revised
statutes of Illinois (chapter 38, div. :3, sections
2-and 3), which abolish the previous distinc-
tion between principal and accessory, and
provide that any one who, “not being pres-
sent, hath advised, encouraged, aided or
abetted, * * a shall be considered as
principal and * ’3 * may be punished as
such, whether the principal is convicted or
not.” On the 14th of September the court
rendered an opinion, which fills twenty-one
closely printed columns, and is an exhaustive
exposition of the law, fully confirming the
decision of the court below. And so the pris-
oners were sentenced to be hanged on the
11th of November, 1887. Another hope re-
mained. Gen. Roger A. Pryor, Gen. Benja-
min F. Butler and Hon. Randolph Tucker were
employed asexperts in constitutional law,
and an appeal made to the supreme court of
the United States, the chief allegation being
that the accused had not been tried byan
“impartial jury,” as required by the national
constitution. The revised statutes of Illinois
permit the choice of a juryman who has
formed ah opinion from reading newspaper
accounts of the case, provided he makes oath
that his opinion is not such as could not be '
overthrown by evidence. The question of
the taking of a letter without warrant from
Spies‘ desk was also’brought up.
The supreme court of the United States
rendered its decision on the 2d of November,
holding, in brief, that the jury law of Illinois
does not contravene any provision of the na~
tional constitution, and that the question as
to'whether the state constitution and laws
had been strictly observed was one for the
state courts alone. The court confined itself
very strictly to the case before it, entering
into the general questions raised only so far
as absolutely necessary. But two points,
therefore, were passed upon in regard to the
amendments. The court held that the first
ten amendments limit the powers of the Fed-
eral government, not the powers of astato
over its citizens; and that the Fourteenth
amendment has not changed the rule in that
respect. In all other matters the court holds

that it has no jurisdiction, as the questions
as to violating the national constitution were
not raised or argued in the Illinois court.
Therefore, a writ of error could not issue.
Of the various appeals and petitions and
meetings protesting against- the execution of
the Anarchists we have not room to speak at
length. Spies and

raphies, and the

since the tragedy.
Dusky Mrs. Par-
s o n s, w h o h a s
worked so hard
for her husband’s
life, has become
personally known
in many cities by reason of her speeches in
his behalf. Mrs. Schnaubclt, mot-her of the
alleged bomb thrower, and Mrs. Schwab, her
daughter, were recently brought into special
prominence by reason of the elder lady’s visit
to America and the rumor that she had
brought with her a. full statement of the
facts in the case from her son. Spies, Fielden
and Schwab finally signed petitions for
commutation. All those things can only
be alluded to here. Among other cuts we

{HE CONDEMNED MEN.
Brief biographical sketches of the con.-
demugd are here'given:
August Theodore Vincent Spies (pronounced
Specs) is credited with being the brains of the
movement. He has given his experience in an
autobiography which is regarded 'as the work of
.3 genius by his friends, and as “eloquent insanity
in print“ by those who are opposed to him. He
was born Dec. 10. $1855. in the “old robbers‘ castle
counsm. you Dmnsn.
of Landeek,” central Germany; one of his early
pinythings was an old tortum rack with which
the nobles used to cktort money from Jews or
“regulate“thc peasants, and his favorite haunt
in childhood was on the edge of adeep chasm
into which the robber barons used to throw “the
pretty girls of theyillage" whom .thede kid-
napedand of whom they had tired. There 'he
grew up, and thence he camato American» teach
the Anarchistic doctrine, reaching the new world
in 187-: and Chicago a year later. There he
' can constitution the representatiw. oi'
viorked as an upholsterer tor a number 0‘. : years.
He first showed an interest in the theories of i
Socialism in 1875, and in 1877 joined himself to the
Deb: and Wehr-Vcrein. He was attached to The
Arbeiter Zeitung in 1880 and succeeded Paul
Grottkauas editor in chief in 1884. Everybody
remembers the attachment that sprung up be-
tween him and Miss Nina Van Zandt during the
trial, and which resultedjn their marriage “by
re .“ "
Samuel Fielden was born in Todmorden, Lan-
cashire, England, in 1847’. He grew up to be a
laborer andaMethodist'ficld preacher. In 1866
he came to America, and soon located in Chicago,
where he joined the Liberal league in 1880; there
he met Spies and Parsons, and thereafter grew
rapidly into anarchial views. Save him and Par-
sons, all the condemned are Germans. '
Albert R. Parsons is the only native American
among the condemned men. Born in Alabama
in 1318 and early left an orphan, he was reared
by his brother, who was afterwards the noted
Confederate general, W. H. Parsons. He served
in the Confederate artillery when but 14 years
old; but after the war he became a Repub-
llcan, and in 1872 married awomau “suspected
of having negro blood in her veins," for which
his brother disowned him. Before this he had
been first a printer on The Galveston (Tex) News
and late editor of The Waco (Tex) Spectator.
Because of this marriage he was obliged to leave
Texas, and locating in Chicago he worked in
various printing ofilces, but after a time became
a. professional labor agitator; was at one time
muster workman of District Assembly 24, Knights
of Labor, and was president of the trades as-
sembly for three years. He was nominated for
the presidency by the Socialistic party in 1880, but
declined, as he was not then 85 years of age. In
1883, at Pittsburg, he helped frame the platform
of the International Working People‘s associa-
tion. He was named for city clerk of Chicago by
the Socialists in 1883, and became editor of The
Alarm, the organ of the “American Group,"_a
year later.

Louis Lingg, who is convicted of having
made the bombs, is but 22 years old and cannot
speak English. He is said to have been expelled
from Germany, where he was born, for con-
spiracy.
Michael Schwab is a native of Manheim, Ger-
many, was born in 1853 and was educated in a
convent. Coming to America in 1879, he worked
for a time at the beds binders’ trade. He became
connected with The Arbeiter Zeitung at the same
time as Spies.
' George Engel was born in Cassel, Germany, in
1830, received a common school educationdearned
the printers‘ trade and came to America in 1873.
A year later he located in Chicago, where he soon
embraced Socialism and became an Anarchist.
He established the “Northwest Group“ in 1883.
Adolph Fischer is about 30 years of age and is a.
German. He came to America when a Ind and
learned the printers‘ trade with his brother, who
published nGerman weekly at Nashville, Tenn.
Later Adolph edited and published The Little
Rock (Ark) Staats Zeltung, which he sold in 1581.
Then he worked at his trade in St. Louis and Chi-
cago. ‘ He sometimes accused Spies and Schwab
of being too mild, and at one time established
Der Anarchist, a paper intended to supplant The
Arbciter Zcitung.
Oscar Neebe, who received a sentence of fifteen
years in the state prison, is also a middle. aged
German.
.THE ANARCHISTS’ SIDE.
Perhaps the best possible summary of the
Annrchists’ defense of their action and their
belief is found in the letters addressed by the
condemned to Governor Oglcsby,'of Illinois,
extracts from which are given:
riscnnn’s LETTER.
COOK (‘01!er JAIL, CnICAco, Nov. 1. 1337.
To Mr. R. J. Oglesby, Governor of the State of
Illinois: . . .
Dunn Sm—I am aware that petitions are being
circulated and signed by the general public ask-
ing you to commute the sentence of death which
was inflicted upon me by a criminal court of this
state. Auent this action of a sympathizmg and
well meaning portion of the people, I solemnly
declare that it has not my sanction. As a man of
honor, asn man of conscience and as a man of
principle, I cannot accept .mcrcy. Iam not guilty
of the charge in the indictment—of murder. I
am no murderer, and cannot apologize for an ac-
tion of which I know I am innocent. And should
I ask “mercy“ on account of my principles, which
I honestly believe to be true and nob e? No. I
am no hy ocrite, and have, therefore, no excuses
to ofier With regard to being an Anarchist, be-
cause the experiences of the past eighteen months
have only strengthc ed my COllVlCllOllS. The
question is, Am I res nsible for the death of the
olicemen at the Haymnrket? and _I say no, un-
ess you assert that every Abolitiomst could have
been held responsible for the deeds of J ohu
Brown. “ * ’1: ‘~ *7 '~“
History repeats itself. As the powers that be
have at all times thought that they could stem
the progressive tide by cxterminating a few
"kickers," so do the ruling class of today Imagine
that they can put a stop to the movement of
laboremancipation by hanging a few of its advo-
cates. Progress in its victorious march has bad
to overcome many obstacles which seemed in-
vincible. and many of its apostles have died
the death of martyrs. The obstacles which bar
the road of progress today seem to be invincible,
too, but they wi i be overcome nevertheless.
At all times when the condition of society has
become such that a large portion of the people
complained of the existing injustice, the ruling
classes have denied the truth of these complaints,
but have said that the discontent of the portion
of the epic in question was due only to the
“ rnicious influence“ of "malicious agitators.“
odav. again. some people assert that the “cl—d
agitators” are the cause of the immense dissatis-
faction among the workiag people.
Oh. you people who speak thus, can you not, or
will you not read the signs of the times? DO you
not see that the clouds on the social firmument
are thickening? Are you not, for instance, aware
that the control of industry and of the means of
transportation, etc., is constantly concentrating
in fewer bands; that the monopolists, i. 9., the
sharps among the capitalists, swallow the little
ones 11111011.“: II; II; that "trusts," “pools,“ and
other combine: 1:: are being formed in order to
more thoruuguly and systematically llemre the
people; that under the present syslcm the de-
velopment ol’ .Iic andmacbine. y is Irom year

that in some parts of this great and fertile and a

I
I
majority of the. funnels are obliged to mortgage '
their bonus in order to satisfy the greed of mon-
strous corporations; that, in short, this rich are
constantly growing richer and the poor oorer.
Yes, and do you not comprehtnd that 111 these
evils final their origin in the present institution of
society which allows one portion of the human
race to build fortunes n on the misfortunes of
others—to enslave their ellow men?
Instead of trying to remedy] these evils, and in-
stead of ascertaining just w at the cause of the
widening dissatisfaction is, the ruling classes,
through their mouthpieces—press, pulpit= etc.—
dcfamc and misrepresent the character, tvach-
Ings and motives of the advocates of sm-ial l'Pcnn‘
struction, and use the rifle and the club on them,
and, if the opportunity is favorable. send them to
the gallows and prisons. Will this do any good?
As an answer I may as well quote the following
words with which Benjamin Franklin closed his
satirical essay “Rules for Reducing a Great Em-
ire to a Small One,“ which he dedicated to the
”nglish government in 1776: “Suppose all their
(the ‘kmkersb complaints to be invented and pro-
moted by a few factions demagogucs, whom if
you could catch and hang all would be uiet.
Catch and hang a few accordingly and the load
of the martyrs shall work miracles in favor of
your purpose“ (1. e., your own ruin).

Lincoln’s Unique Individuality.
It was my good fortune to have known
Mr. Lincoln long and well—so long and
so intimately that as the shadows lengthen
and the years recede I am more and more
impressed with the rugged grandeur and
nobility of his character, his strength of
intellect and singular purity of heart.
Surely I am the last man on earth to say
or do augbt in derogation of his great
worth, or to tarnish his fair fame in. any
way whatever.
The world has long since conceded that
he was great in all the elements that go
to make up human greatness. He had a
stamp of originality that'was entirely his
own. \Vith his unique individuality, his
intéllect, at once strong, sagacious and
profoundly acute and critical. were asso-
ciated a mental integrity and moral pur-
pose ns firm as granite, a thorough knowl-
edge of himself, and a modesty that
scorned both self laudation and eulogy by

Sewer Gas Poisoning.
Dr. Henry Hun has an article in The
Medical News on sewer gas poisoning, in
which he finds that no less than thirteen
classes of disease may be traced to the
inhalation—more or less long continued——
of the atmosphere from sewers. The list
is as follows: Vomiting and purging,
either separate or combined; a form of
nephritis; general debility, in some cases
of which the heart is especially involved;
fever, which is frequently accompanied by
chills; sore throat, which is frequently of
adipht-helit-ic character; neuralgia; per-
haps, also. Inyelitis of the anterior horns;
zymotic diseases, such as typhoid fever,
pneumonia, diphtheria, cholera, dysen-
tery,'eerebro spinal meningitis, erysipelas
and scarlet fever (in these cases undoubt-
edly the sewer gas merely acts as a
vehicle for the specific germ); a‘condition.
of asphyxia. which, in its severe form, is
characterized by coma, convulsions and
collapse: puerperal fever, abscesses, lym-
phadcuitis, acute aural catarrh (l). The
moral of all this is—look to your plumb-
ing, and be sure that there is an escape
from the soil pipes, bath rooms, closets,
etc, to the external atmosphere—Detroit

Aristocratlc Frog Spearlng.
0g spearing’ is a questionable kind of
am sement which, it appears, is at pres-
ent indulged in by many aristocratic idlers
who are trying to kill the long summer
days in country seats. The latest instance
of this peculiar kind of sport took place
in the, grounds of the Chateau of Bellan-
court. After luncheon a party of ladies
and gentlemen, armed with weapons re-
sembling crossbows, the arrows being of
hazlewood, with iron lanceheads, and at-
tached to the how by silken strings, so as
to enable the frogs to be hauled in, pro-
ceeded to the banks of a pond.. Then
there was a great deal of unceremonious
stooping down as the frogs appeared, and
arrows were let off in all directions, the
slaughter being considerable on the part
of those who. pursued the sport for the,
p rpose of bagging game. The unpaled
trachians werefiin‘ all cases carefully,
collected and handed over to the cooks.—

Illitcracy in Massachusetts.
It has been asserted that there lsan
alarming amount of illiteracy in Massa-
chusetts. Statistical inquiry shows that
by far the greater number of these illiter-
ates are‘ of foreign birth, so that the'fault
is not with the 'public school system, but
the evil is due to a temporary cause,
namely, immigration. Again, it has been
freely asserted that in the United States _
women of native,,birth do not have as.
many children unwomen of foreign birth, ‘
and that hemby the real American popu-
lation :is ’ilosing‘ground. The census of
Massadhusetts .‘ show, that although
American 'w'o'men’. _0 have a less. number
of children ,“on thesaver'age yet .a larger
number survives, so that the alarm is.
needless. Common observation would
never have shown these things, or would
not have shown them accurately—Boston

In the early years of, this century, when
log houses were good enough for the average
Georgian, a certain doctor presided over
Franklin college.
The simple habits of their dignified sires
did'not prevent the boys of thOSe days from
having their fun—indeed, they carried on an
amount of devilment which the college boys
. of these times would consider respectable.
The boys thought that anything was fair
' which would-make one of the faculty the vic~

- a;dark plot to robthe, doctor’s poultry yard
and. afterward celebrate the event by a midi

domestic establishment, and he had built for
their accommodation a log house. The logs

" housc,nrmed.witha :fence rail. It was an
easy matter to insert the ,rail between two
logs and prize up those above, so as to make
an openingthrOughwhich amau could crawl.
. A‘d‘apper youngfellow, who had-visited the
‘ doctor’sdaughters, went in andrbegan» to pull
the chickens oil! the. roost and wringtheir
necks._ . While he did so the boys outside kept
their,.weight om the rail, and sojkept the

man, . whom we :will *call,Bob,‘ had dropped

‘ wholem‘owilquinhigh glee over the pros:

Just then a big, old rooster crowed.
“Look out, Bob; break that ,rooster’s neck
and stop his noise.” .
“Sh! What’s that?”-
There. was a low growl. .
“Boys, you, have let these logs down too
low; lift them a-littleso I can get out. Be
nick aboutiw1 , . . , , .
, At that instant there was a loud bark and
a. big dog bounded into the poultry yard.
The boys on, the outside for an instant :stood
their ground. They dropped the' rail; and
they grabbed chance weapons to boat off the
dog, but before they could disable him the
door of the doctor’s residence opened'and his
tail figureappearcd. The boys scattered, all
butane. '.
The. logs .had ,.come together again and
Bob'was.a1p1"isoner. ‘He crouched in, a. cor-
ner and held his breath. hoping that he would
be overlooked, but the dog, told where he was.
By this time the doctor ;. had come up and
other members of the family came out, eager
to see who was caught in the man trap.
‘5Why,;it’s,Bob.” . , . -. .. _ .1
‘fWho would have thought itl’7.'.. The ’ex-
clainations’ ,were, heard . in the. house and
echoed by the young ladies. _ {Then-"the door
of the log house was openednmd; the,y__oung
' man' was sent, to.l.-the. dormitory.- ,_ He 'was
called before the faculty the next morning.

, Meantime the‘doc‘tor' " d‘thought'the‘matr
te'r over. - He‘was a 'mahv'of'gi‘éat’sag‘acity in
”the management'of boys,'~and;‘ he recognized
this freak asravvpiec‘e bf wild mischief which
might notbe-meanness.‘ Ila-resolved to give
the matter such disposition as would put- ;a
sober head—on theyoung man. Accordingly,
when Bob appearedaflmkingilike acriminal,
the doctor lectured . him severely, but in a
fatherly way, and told him that such an
offense must not go without a severe punish-
ment. .
Bob expected the sentence of his expulsion.
With measured tones, like a judge pronounc-
ing the death sentence, the doctor said:
“Mr. —, I will expect you to take supper
with me to—night, and, as you show a fond-
ness for chicken, the fowls you took off the
roost last night will be on the table.”
Bob would rather have been expelled. But
for the distress it would cause his parents he
would have gone home. In spite of his lurks
there was good stuff in Bob, and with a tre-
mendous effort be resolved to face the music.
It is impossible to describe the mental ag-
ony Bob went through that evening when he
sat at the table where the doctor presided
with courtly dignity.
His elegant wife could not have been more
courteous to an honored guest than she was
to Bob, and her daughters treated the young
man as cordially as ever. Not a word was
said about the affair of the night before, but
the la .1 dish of chickens was like a mount-
ain in the poor boy’s eyes. It was the refine-
ment of torture when the doctor, with the
utmost suavity, helped him to the choicest
pieces.
The situation, which, under ordinary cir-
cumstances, would have been ludicrous,
under the doctor’s composure and his wife’s
tact was carried almost to the pathetic.
It was a lesson written on Bob’s memory in
burning letters, and he never forgot it.—At-
lauta Journal.
After Spies in Paris.
In Paris there is a reporter who plays a
unique role—even in French journalism. He
is the“monsieur qui suit les femmes.” And
he does it most assiduously. Once on their
track he never takes his lynx eye off them.
Night and day, note book in hand, he follows
them up. But not with the same object as
the male past of the street or the area sneak.
He is animated with nothing but the purest
patriotic motives. He is, in fact, on the look-
out for foreign spies in petticoats. Any
woman who looks Teutonic in appearance is
labeled as a. suspect whose movements are.
closely watched and afterward recorded in‘
The Lanterne, the journal which is fortunate
‘ enough to possess this reportorial musquito.
Up to the present he has succeeded in bag-
ging two victims, whom he concluded were
emmisaries of Bismarck in disguise, because
they never passed French soldiers without
looking at them, and kept up a mysterious
relationship with a-“monsieur blond.” The
spy mania has, therefore, advanced a stage.
Any foreign women in France, because, for-
sootb, they look interestingly at French sol—
diery, or hold any communication with a
“monsieur blond,” are liable to be hunted
down by the eavesdropping representative of
the grande reportage—Chicago Times.
Emma. Abbott’s Tenors.
“My husband tells me that I throw too
much energy and waste too much force on
the stage, but I know better. One can do
nothing without a degree of enthusiasm.
Now, I have a terrible time with my tenors.
When they are singing their love passages
they forget and don’t look at all loving. Now,
for ‘Ruy Blas’ I have been over and over
again the love passages .and drilled and
drilled so as to have them perfect, and I keep
me one nice, sharp little finger nail, and
- when we are on the stage if they don’t look
loving I just remind them. They know what
that means.” '
“That’s why your love scenes are so real?”

What the Typewriter Is Dolng.
The typewriter is creating a revolution in
methods of correspondence, and filling the
country with active, competent young ladies
who, are establishing a distinct profession,
and bringing into our business offices, law-
yers’ offices, editorial sanctums, etc, an ele-
ment of decency, purity and method which
is working a perceptible change. The field is
widening daily; not from crowding out of
their places young men who have been in
the habit of claiming a preemption for cleri-
cal work of all descriptions, but in creating
absolutely new positions. The revolution, if
itmay be called so, has come from the dis-
covery to business men of an ability of
which they were unaware until the great
convenience and excellent work of the type
writer forced them to it.
The art of dictation is almost a new art,
but it is spreading rapidly, and business men
are beginning to understand that much of
their lives has been wasted in the mere me.
chanical drudgery of letter writing, and that
through employing a competent amanuensis
they are now enabled to get off their corre-
spondence with the least possible friction and
the smallest amount of time. Whereas, five
years ago, the typewriter was simplya me-
chanical curiosity, today its monotonous
click can be heard in almost every well regu-
lated business establishment in the country.
A great revolution is taking place, and the
typewriter is at the bottom of it.—Penman’s
Art Journal. -
Methods of Long Range Shooting. /
To the general public the interest in Creed.
moor was due perhaps largely to the pictur-
esque features of the contests. It was a strik-
ing novelty to see men shooting at a nearly
invisible target, and, in so doing, getting
into all kinds of awkward, uncouth attitudes.
The man who made a. bull’s eye at 1,000 yards
received as much credit. :for his effort on ac-
count of lying on his stomach as he did for
his faultlem aim. . . :And on thevother hand, he
who'mimed at. the same distance had sympa-
thy mixed maybe with condemnation be-
cause, he lay. on hisgback‘and ~ reMd thefmuz-

contests the novelty, of the methods was of
not greater interest than the sport itself, for
people soon familiarizbd themselves with the
difficulties of long range shooting, they be-
lieved they understood its peculiarities, and
they talked as learnedly about it as they do
new about balloon jibs and rocker kcels—

From the Independent Grocer we learn:
“During the month of August one cigar.
etle firm sold 00,324,540 cigarettes. Let.
us consider for a moment what this means.
It would be a cigarette for every inhabi-
tant. of the United States, with a fcw extra
ones for visitors?) If placed end to end
they would extend 2,618 miles, or across
the Continent from the Atlantic to the
Pacific oceans! or from Boston to London.
Should one cigarette be smoked each
minute, day and night, without intermis-
sion, it would take 115 years to consume
this quantity.” ’ »
Experle‘ncc Under Ether.
Every one who’has inhaled ether feels that
he has passed thi‘ough a. remarkable expe-
rience, whether of a disagreeable nature or
the reverse: sometimes the vapor carries
with it the most. delightful sensation, and
again is only productive of the horrible.
“'hen II. patient ‘-is “going oil'” or returning
to consciousness, he often indulges in absurd
remarks.
“There’s my "blue bonnet,” said a lady,
opening her eyesafter some time spent in a
dentist’s chziir, “so I can’t be dead; that
wouldn’t, have been waiting for Inc in
heaven.”
Another, a sober matron, was so delighted
on returning to consciousness, at seeing the
kindly face of her physician bending over
her, after she hadbeen floating off into space,
that she exclaimed excitedly, “O, doctor, I
love you !”
“Yes, yes, I know it,” he replied, sooth-
ingly, and she has since declared that she was
so angry with him for under estimating the
importance of her statements that she kept
on wildly insisting, “But you don't under-
stand; I adore you!"
One young girl,"coxnpellcd to go through a
painful surgical.operation, began laughing
immoderately as»soon as the etherafi'ccted
her. After her .rocovery, she was asked to
recall the cause of .her mirth, and in doing so
she laughed as heartin again.
“I can’t tell youlhow funny it was," she de~
clared. “I seemed to be crocheting, and
.there was a big.musquito going in and out
with the loops. Oh, if you could only have
seen how funny he' looked!”
From which it may be inferred that ether,
in common with hashish and opium, has the
power of investing the simplest objects and
imaginings with some absurd characteristics.
A gentleman whO'had inhaled ether for the
purpose of having. his teeth extracted, says
there was some delayin the course of the
operation, and when the last teeth were
pulled he had begun to regain consciousness.
“I felt no pain,” he says, in describing his
sensations, “but I .felt the jar when each
, tooth left my head. But all the time I was
dreaming that I was whizzing through the
country on a lightning express train.
“At intervals some one threw a huge log
across the t1'ack,!in- front of the engine, and
we went over it with a bump and jolt. Not
until afterward did I realize that the jar
was that of a departing tooth.”—Couricr-
Journal.
