JL HORBIBLE EXPERIENCE.

How It Feeh to Have a Tooth Extracted. A Painless Method Described the Effect of Ether-Stnc"lar Hallucinations A Vfreetle With m Fair of ForcepsWheeling in Space. Sau Fiandsco Chronicle. J A prominent citizen of San Francisco was reading Macaulay one evening when it oftly thumped, as if it had just come and wanted to let him know. lie said nothing, and it gave a rap that nearly broke his jaw bone. Still he knit his stony brows and read on. Then came a kick and a yell that ne one but himself heard, and it had fairly begun. He said:. My proud and . noole spirit shall not be conquered by so slight a thing. "Walter Scott wrote novel when he bad it, and 1 will be as brave." But his miserable soul cringed and gare up, and it shrieked with delight. - A long and sleepless night ensued, but the next morning his manhood returned .and he went down town as usual, but the whole world looked sad and melancholy. Hia temper was out ol joint and he greeted his friends moodily, and snappishly reproved hia clerks on the slightest pretext. This condition of affairs lasted for three days, and his friends learned to cross the street when they saw him coming, bowing at a safe distance, while the newsboys dodged ariund corners at hia approach. And still he locked bis troubles in his own bosom. His poor wife thought he was going crazy. 'Are you sure there is nothing the matter with you, John?" she would gently ask. "Confound youl Not what makes you think so?" I anyone had suggested toothache to him he would have knocked them down. In fact, he was waiting with malicious pleasure for the one who would first dare it. "What's the matter with your cheek?" asked an acquaintance. Mumps! ' And he shot down an alley. 'John,'' said Lis wife, timidly, that night, 'there surely is something the matter with you, mnking up faces over that beautiful honey the first of the Beason and you so fond of it." - MYhen a woman, without any sense in her head, gives honey to man with ( Honey was not made for man to eat. Do the boes have jaws? Oh, the deuce take it! I'm a goner now, and it gone to sleep for the first time since it camel" and he rushed groaning into the street. Something must be done now, . at once, and, with the words "teeth extracted with, out pain" glaring through his darkened brain, be ran down the street, halting at the first shingle that bore them. Up two flights of stairs he burst open a door and cried: "la the butcher in?" 'The what, sir?" demanded an even voice, and, gazing into that calm, determined face he recognized hia master, and sank into the chair of torture. "Give me some ether, and take my picture be quick!" You have a fever, sir. Ah, I see, an ulcerated tooth; very badly decayed; am atraid it will not come out entire." "Ah; perhaps I had better wait a few years for it to loosen. I don't know, but I can stand it a while longer, now I think of it" "We will have it out in half a minute, sir. Bring the ether, James," to a sleek, demoniac-looking assistant, who had posted himself where he could watch the victim's contortions. They next twiated a newspaper into the shape of a horn, and the assistant held one end to the patient's mouth. What's that for? So I can yell louder?'' 'That is far you to inhale the ether through. ' "Have you any objection, sir, to telling me how many people you have killed with ether? I do not ask aa a representative of the preB." "I have administered ether in hundreds of cases with no fatal results." "But ah supposing one's lungs were weak?" Have given it too people with consumption. Now breathe deep and quick," and he thrust a epongo at the other end of the tube. The patient inhaled cautiously, just to see how the thing felt, and a strange sensation swept over his body, while his brain became unusally brilliant, and the thought flashed across him that perhaps, after all, all, he would rather have the toothache than die. "My heart is beating very faet; I am afraid it is diseased, and the ether will surely kill me " "Your heart beats Decause you are excited. Breathe fast and deep." The subject vaguely wondered what the manof dentistry started to say instead of ''excited," but breathed fast, and deep, deep and quick, deep and fast, quick and deep. Thrills of electricity shot through his nerves with a pleasant, tingling sensation. His spirit rose. His heart grew calm. He was atraid no more. "A very nice subject,'' murmured the dentbt, who3e finger was on his wrist. Pulse getting regular. Breathe fast and deep do not be afraid." Afraid? . Who was afraid? Of what? The patient pinched one of his fingers and found it numb. He would not care if they cut hU head off. Yet, was it not reckless to throw his life away in such a manner? for it was surely going. There was a buzzing in his ears. His spirit was floatng away higher and higher. He called from a dizzy height down to the dentist: "Are you sure there is no danger." 'No more than if you were breathing so much air," came faintly from below. Then he gave himself up to it. If he were dying the dentist would hang for it, and meantime he would float around awhile and see what filled the great stretches of space. Suddenly he began to whirl around with fearfully rapidity. He was traveling in a great circle, whose center seemed to be the dentist. On, on. like one of the toy locusts he used to whirl whn a boy, and he wondered where he would go if the string should break. Around and around! The whizzing was like thunder, and ought to be audible miles away. Suddenly the terrible thing happened. The dentist reached out a pair of huge iron forceps and caught him by the tooth. It was plain he did not understand the situation, and his victim tried to say. "Let go, for God's sake, or I shall be jerked to pieces. Do vou not see that some invisible power is whwMng me around?" But the instrument in his mouth smothered the words, and the forceps held on. The situation was thrilling, for the circles were growing larger and larger, and unless the tooth gave way he must be rent asunder. Up he went, then down, struggling with all. his feeble strength to wrest loose from the fatal grip. He Bwept up to greater heights, but the ignorant persecutor held on with a grip like -death. A fearful struggle ensued. With a crash like the report of a cannon the tooth gave way, and its owner shot off 1 into eternity. . ,. , ; The street-cars were rattling past upon the pavement of Kearny street. He was sitting in the reception room as a dentist, having come up with a friend who wished to have a tooth' extracted. That demoniac assistant stood near, with forceps in his hand, and, as two or three ladies came in the door, politely asked them to be seated. Now, open your mouth," he said. -What for? "To bar your tooth pat, of oonne " t I have no diseased tooth, you blockhead! I oarAe hare with a Irland." Xke fiaad ku-hed idisti tally; "QV'fe

he, ha! Don't know a thing ht'i saying,

ladies; be s been a taking ether. ' The horrible truth flashed over his mind that his cowardly, miserable-spirited friend had failed at the J aft moment and told thu fool he was the victim. Get away, you scoundrel!'' ho cried, "I tell you a friend of mine just had ether administered to him and waits in the next room to have hin tooth out." . He, he, he!" laughed the idiot. "He don't know a word he's sayicg, ladiei. They often act so. Open your mouth, I say." The ladies looked on curiously, and the little villian seized him by the chin. Ho was ordinarily a strong man, but, as if in a nightmare, he yielded now to cruel fate, when He was in the sand hills playing with his old comrade, Tom. Let's make the Desert of Sarah," said Tom. See these thirsty old ant camels. We most dig a well for them." How the mill-dam roared and the birds saogt Come boys, dinner is ready," called his mother, the sunshine in her blue eyes, as she stood in the door. Another whiz and whirl and he heard the sewing-machine buzzing. "Do keep it still," he said to his wife. 'It is too late to sew. Come to the window and sea this lovely sunset over vhe Golden Gate." "Yes," said she, ''it makes me think of that other Golden Gate, with the glory beyond we can not look into." Music, soft and low a band playing in the distance. It must be Fourth of July morning. He raised his head and felt sick. Drink some warm water," said his wife, who stood at his bedside. "It will relieve you and make you feel better." 'Oh, bother your warm water," he said, beside himself with tho dreadful nausea; "mother used to make us put our fingers down our throats she knewl" And he thrust his er eat fist in his mouth and wai speedily relieved. What is it that smells so queer here, any how?" The ether, probably. We had to give you considerable, you fought so, " said a strange voice and to his amazement he found himself in a dentist's office. 'Where in the thunder have I been all of this time? It was years ago I came here." "You have been in my office just ten minutes, sir.' "What did I come for? A tooth? Oh, I am sorry you didn't get it." I took out a large molar for you, sir, also a ftump that came in five pieces, and a bicuspid too badly decayed for filling." Thrusting his tongue into several yawning cavities he missed some old foes, and felt both lonely and relieved without them. Then the mists began to clear away, and he said: "No wonder I fought. You didn't know I was whirling around you, and it's a wonder you didn't kill mo." 'You were not fully under the influence, then, if you felt any pain.'' "And you," said the victim, turning to the grinning assistant. ,4made a terrible blunder. I have a mind to prosecute you for taking out that tooth. Didn't you know it wasn't me at all who wanted it done?" "I ain't up to pulling teeth yet,'' said he, "and never touched you. But he, he, he how funny you did act." "You had better walk out into the fresh air, sir; that will make you all right. Two dollars, if you please." As he left the office he wondered if he actually stuck his fist down hi throat before that gentlemanly dentiat. When he reached home it seemed as if he had been away a week. He kissed his wife, called her honey and asked if she really said that sweet thing about the sunset. Mtuce Pie and Geology.

The Adventures of a Dmuiiner in the Best Hotel. When Mac left Las Vegas for Socorro he was told by the clsrk of the hotel that it would be necessary for him to telegraph ahead in order to secure suitable quarters. He accordingly telegraphed to Socorro and engaged room'No. 8 at the best hotel in the city, confident that he had the advantage of his fellow travelers. HU journey was without any remarkable feature and the train reached Socorro nearly on time. Mac collared his two ponderous grip-sacks and wended his way to where he had secured the apartment. He made himself known to the clerk as the man who engaged room No. 8, and asked to be shown to his room at once, as he was somewhat fatigued and wanted a good night's rest. The clerk, with candle in hand, led Mac up a narrow flight of stairs to a room in the second story, and Mac passed on evidently expecting to be placed in comfortable quarters. What was his surprise wher, j the clerk opened the door of a room twelve by thirty, and pointed to the only vacant cot in the room, while seven others, already occupied, surrounded it on all sides. This was almost too much for Mac's good nature to stand, and he forthwith asked if this was room No. 8. The'clerk replied that it was just the room he engaged Mac's curiosity I prompted him to eia.nine the number on the door but was told by the clerk that the rooms were not designated by the number on the door, but by the number of beds in the room. Mac concluded that he might as well make the Wat of it, so he tumbled in cot No. 8, between a pair of four-pound blankets, with his clothes on. He had aot been in bed five minutes when two Mexicans who occupied the adjoining bunks became inolved in a fight which lasted upward of an hour. About fifteen minutes had elapsed when the clerk appeared at the door and ushered a lady and gentleman (afterward claimed to be bride and groom) into a room on the other side of the canvas partition. Mac had just closed his eyes for a second nap when the occupant of bunk No. 5 gave an unearthly yell and forthwith commenced slaughtering "imagine ry snakes with a castiron boot-jack. How long is this thing to last? thought Mac, as he covered his head with the blankets, while the individual with the Mjima" was killing snakes by the thousand. No. 5 finally became somewhat subdued when the clerk, accompanied by an undertaker, entered the room for the purpose of preparing for burial the occupant of bunk No. 6, who had died during the night. Mac had about come to the conclusion that this would conclude the night's entertainment, and aa the old wooden clock in the room below struck the hour of 3 he turned over with tho avowed intention of having three hours sleep, happen what would. He is ready to swear that he did actually get sixteen minutes' sleep when he was again aroused by the entrance of a roan who. iudpinf from the cut of his clothes and length of his face. w& the colporteur of some Tract or Bible Society. The . clerk apologized for the disorderly condition of cot No. 6, which had just been vacated by the corpse. as he assigned it to the clerical-looking gentleman. This canned the climax, Iand Mao climbed out of bed, saying he might aa wall try to bo aa angeJ as to sleep im that

A XABUOW ESCAPE,

The Story of a Young Uclon Omoer Who Was Captured by Mosby. C. L. Bankbead In Philadelphia Weekly Times. The following thrilling incident is told by a soldier of Mosby's command, he being an eye-witness of tho scene, and I will here give it in his own words as nearly as 1 can remember them: ''Late in the fall of 1B64 our boys were ordered by Colonel Mosby to rendezvous at a certain point in the mountains, preparatory to receiving orders. All the Companies and Commanders were to assemble in force near the turnpike read leading into the valley trom Loudon County, and we were all to be armed and equipped, preparatory for a raid. When assembled, we numbered about 300 men, and with that force we marched into the va'.ley, crossing the Shenandoah about dark. We bivouacked for the night and the next day proceeded up the Charlcstown and Winchester turnpike, where we succeeded in capturing a large wagon train of the enemy; not, however, without a severe skirmish, in which we lost several men and borses. After retreating and again collecting our forces we were ordered to separate into Companies with the view of making different raid;. The Company to which I was attached proceeded in the direction, of the Charlestown road, where we encountered the command of Captain Blazer, and after skirmishing with it and finding we were largely outnumbered, we concluded to retreat to the Shenandoah River, which we did under hot pursuit; We reached the river at dusk, and Blazer's men, fearing an ambuscade, drew off. After fording the river with some difficulty we bivouacked upon the opposite side, and the next day proceeded to the little hamlet of Paris, where we awaited the return of our command. At about 9 o'clock in the afternoon the differeat companies began to arrive, several having Federal prisoners, and shortly afverward Colonel Mosby, with the rest of his men, came up with twenty-five or thirty additional prisoners. He immediately gave orders that there should be a detail male from each company to take charge of the prisoners, and that they should be carried to some locality in the mountains, otl from the general thoroughfares, where a house must 03 procured, ir one room of which the prisoners should be placed and kept under double guard. V e were also told to proceed to liectortown by break of day next morning. (I happened to bo among tie number of this detailed guard, which renders me so familiar with the circumstaices.) In pursuance of orders we went in search of a house, and finding an old deserted cabin we placed the prisoners in there and built a large fire for their comfort, as it was quite cold, being late in November. Tho room, being small, was pretty well crowded, but passing the night without further incident, we proceeded next day to Rectortown. Among the prisoners I noticed a young officer (a Lieutenant), who seamed to be suffer ing from lameness, and he excited my compassion by his ineffectual efort to keep up. Hiding up to him I offered btim a seat behind me on my horse, which he gratefully accepted. As we were in the rear of the march and out of earshot we conversed very freely, and he gave me several points in his history, and I found him to be a refined and intelligent gentleman. He stated that he had only recently boeii brought from Louisiana, where he acted as an officer of artillery, and he deeply regretted being captured here, as he feared that he would never survive his prison lite. He was the only son of a widowed mother, and had recently been married to a young wife. He seemed deeply dejected, and I cheered him as well as I could, not knowing myself anything about the destiny of the prisoners. SEVEN MtNTCBE IIA NO ED. On arriving at liectortown we found Colonel Mosby, with .'ull command, drawn up in line, and he h'mself in consultation with his principal officers. One of these finally advanced toward the squad which guarded the prisoner and gave orders to draw them up in lice. The Adjutant then rode forward and read an order. It stated that seven of our men having been recently hung by the enemy it was determined that seven of the prisoaers should be hung in retaliation, and tliat lots for these seven would immediately be drawn. Upon the reading of this order a scene ensued which will be impressed upon my memory until the day of my death. A cry of anguish and consternation arcce from among the unfortunate prisoners. Some implored the guard to intercede with Colonel Mosby and have them excluded from the drawing, two of them declaring that they were merely sutlers and not fighting men, never having fired a gun at a Southern soldier. Others said they had been drafted into the Federal Army contrary to their wishes and were friendly to the South. Others again expressed a willingness to desert that army and join our standard. While this tempestuous appeal for life was going on among these poor fe.lows, the main body of prisoners heard the awful sentence with deep dejection but sullen resolution. "In the course of twenty minutes, two officers approached, one of them holding a hat, in which had been placed a number of wads or balls of paper corresponding with the number of prisoners. Seven of these wads were marked. The drawing then commenced, the officer with the hat requiring the right hand prisoners to take out a ball, which whea drawn he handed to the other officer m attendance, who on opening pro nounced it to be a blank or otherwise. At first several blanks were drawn, then came a marked ball, which was drawn by a cavalry soldier of Custer's command and hailing from Michigan. This man very coolly remarked that he was prepared to die for his country. The drawing proceeded with varied results. I stood behind the young officer whose lameness I have mentioned and was much relieved when he drew a blank, upon which I congratulated him. He turnea and seizing my hand pressed it with warmth. " 'Six men have now been drawn, cried the officer with the hat; 'one more must come.' "The next and last victim was a drummer boy, who, upon being informed of his fate uttered the most piercing cries, and throwing hirmelf upon the ground, exclaimed that he was only a drummer boy, with neither father nor mother, and begged to be spared. So greatly was the pity of the officers excited that they immediately applied to Colonel Mosby to spare this boy. He very promptly replied that he did not know there was a boy among the prisoners, and ordered that he should be removed and the drawing taken en over again. This was done, and on the second drawing, my friend, the Lieutenant, drew a marked ball. - I was . shocked by this and he wa3 deeply distressed, but exhibited a courageous resignation to his fate. Calling to him a soldier of his Company, who had aUo been taken prisoner, - he requested him to take hia wife an empty pocket-book and pencil-case, saying that these were the only souvenirs he had left when condemned to execution, and that his last thoughts were with his wife and mother I was deeply a flee ted at his fate, and desired to assist him if pof&ible. Whispering to him, I asked if he was a Free Masons To which he replied in the affirmative. Immediately after this the guard was ordered to march ofT with the seven men who had been condemned. We proceeded with them (I being one of the guard) only a few hundred yards, whea we were ordered to halt and await further orders, and in a few moments a freshly mounted squad of fifteen men, commanded by a Lieutenant and equipped tor a raid, approached us with orders from Colonel Mosby that we should be relieved trom care - of the prisoners. Among the number of this relief gaard was an intimate rruaaa ol mine, to whom x related th? cirotaaitMOei in ooA&tction with

the LiuUcant and alio lnfonntd him that he was a Free Mason. Being anxious to learn their destination, I questioned him about the recent order and he informed mi that they bad been commanded to take the prisoners across the mountains and as near to Sheridan's headquarters as possiolo and there to hang them. lie promised me that he would do all that he could (consistently with duty) in behalf of the condemned officer. They then proceeded on thoir way and several days elapsed before I heard anything of their movements. On meeting with my friend he gave me the following particulars: SAVING THE I.IKCTZ3I AKT. "They reached Faria on the same night after leaving us and were there met by Captain Mountjoy, who was returning from the valley with a batch of prisoner. Being a friend of Mountjoy'a he took the first opportunity of Informing him of the situation of thu Lieutenant and also informed him that he was a Free Mauon and requested that he would try to save him. Upon hearing this Mountjoy requested an interview with the officer, and immediately afterward he

crossed the street to where he kept hh own ?ri9oners and returned with two of theaa. "hese he presented to the officer In charge of the prisoner as two of Custer's men, whom he wished to substitute for the Lieutenant. After some hesitation, and with the condition that Mounijoy should assume all responsibility, the exchange was made. The officer after returning earnest thanks for hU life, was hastily transferred to a batch of prisoners under the care of a Sergeant, who was told to make all possible haste to Gordonsville, and specially to get out ol 'iiosby s Dominions before the break of day. Thus, in the course of a little over forty-eight hours, was the ff.te of this man reversed three times in the most remarkable manner. At first, in the terriole ordeal of drawing a lottery for his life, he escaped. Then by a singular fatality the drawing was taken over again, and he found himself condemned to a sudden and awful death. When all hope was abandoned and he found himself on the way to execution, deliverance came in a manner equally as unexdected and remarkable." O Hrlghtly Beam Song. BT XVOENS J. HALL. Above the hills the moonbeams glow, Across the fields of ice and snow, The cloudlet night is cold aud clear, The leaeflss woods look dark and drear; Along the air the sleigh bells ring, And happy voices sweetly sing, "0, brightly beam with silvery light The boueh are bare, the fields are white; Bam on, beam on, From sight till dawn. Beam on, 0 silver moon, beam on." The evening wind blows soft aud low; Above the trees the moonbeams glow; The summer night is warm aud clear. The vexper sparrow's song we bear; The trembling leaves with beauty gleam, The star-beams dance upon the stream, The hills are green, the hills are bright: 8hiue on, shine on, From night till dtwn; 8hlne on, silver moon shine out Air the Beds. An intelligent housewife is authority for the statement that beds and bedding require greater attention in winter than in the summer months. She gives the following hints loher sister housekeepers: "Get up in the morning, go out and breathe the fresh air, then return to your room. Instead of making up your beds as soon as you leave them, and boasting of your smartness (more probably ignorance), remove the clothing, not all in a heap, but spread out where all parts may become thoroughly ventilated. If you still adhere to that time-honoreed nuisance, a feather bed, or feather pillows are no better shake thorn up, turn them over, stir the underbeds, open the windows, doors, anything to let in the pure air, the colder the better, and every few days every day would be better hang them out on tne clothesliae for a few hours and see how brisk and lively the feathers will become. When your rooms are r.lean and your beds fresh make them up, and my word for it you will sleep enough better and enough healthier to jpay for all the extra trouble I know it." A Georgia Editor' a TVIfe. fCartersvlUe (Qa.) Express. There is a little brown-eyed, enthusiastic, high-spirited lady, who, after she has cooked breakfast, cleared the things away, set the house to rights, attended the call of the bread-wagon, and milked the cow, dons her hat and cloak, comes to this office, yanks us out of our editorial easy (?) chair, pounces on the exchanges, amputates every item of interest, stacks them on the copyhook, gribs up a Faber, travels it over a quire of editor's manuscript paper, removes her snowy-whito apron, shoves up her sleeves, grabs a stick and rule, and sets it all into type, reads the proofs and corrects every error. That's our wife, and she will get her reward in Heaven. The lady re1 erred to in the above was Miss Ella Green, formerly of Macon. SOCIETY DIRECTORY. Mnaonlc. Oetbskmanc Comxandkit. K. T., No. 9.
