LIGONIER,; IND., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 15%3.

- THE MANIAC. The maniac was a giant.. 'He had broken his heavy chains as/ r,}{Samscfn of old had broken his withes—had tom open the door of his cell’-—,—torm}the keeper literally to pieces—burst the opin door—killed the watchman, with a heavy iron bar he wrenched from the ~door—and escaped with his formid“ble weapon into the city. . The whoe place was aghast at the news; and we students at the hospital ‘and dissect ing room, who vere connected with’ the asylum, had to nerve ourselves t help capture the escaped wild beast. ' -1 had gone to the dissecting room alone, and was about to commence using the knife on a subject. There was a storm raging, and with a low sob the wind swelled through the long aisle of forest trees, and flashed with the gathered force of an ocean wave against the dead-house. Simultaneously, a hand struck the light door, and the yell of a maniac rang through and through;niy brain. - Above the door, through the smal ventilator, the face of the madmax and the muzderer peered down at me, “Ah, ha!“T have caught yeu at last—here—and alone. I have been waiting for you. Youtook me once, didn’t you? Ha, ha! Let me in!” /The coolness of imminent peril brought powers to action. I held his: eye an instant; but it was evident he was too wild for that; his blood was up, and he roved with eager ferocity through the room and over the frail walls. With the light - bound of a leopard, I.gained the door, and shot the double bolt. A gleam of rage ‘darted from his eye; but he laughed, “H&'{’ ha! you think that will keep me out!. . : i He leaped to the ground. In aninstant the light was out. “Wait,” I cried, “I have a weapon in my hand keen as a razor. It is poisoned by the dead body I have been working on. - Burst the door, and I'll plunge it in your heart. If it but touch you, you are a dead man.- You may kill me, but I'll kill you also as certain as Fate!”

The swarthy giant shook the door until its'hinges creaked ‘and groaned beneath his hand. . Then, laughing again low to himself, muttered, “Fool, Iﬁl outwit you yet.” . , / And stole off in the darkness. I ‘heard him, for an instant, pressing against the wall of the building, and it swayed and bent inwards with the weight. Then silence. The din of my pulses made thunder in my ears, as 1 tried to hear his stealing tread, and the sobbing wind raising anew with weird, unhearthly shriek, made my efforts fruitless. ' A thousand times I heard his low, murderous laugh. A thousand times I felt brawny strength against the door, and saw his wild face look down at me through the gloom; but still he did not come. I tried to think he had abandoned the design, and slunk off discouraged; but I knew it was not so —I knew he was crouching in some corner, on the watch to spring on me when I passed. | Al e

Could I stay there all night? No, certainly not. An hour more, and Harry Leigh (my young wife’s brother) would come to seek me—come unconscious of the . danger, : until a bloodhound at his throat would choke the brave young life down there forever. I listened in the intervals of the now fitful storm to hear:if he was breathing near nie; I waited for the next lull. It came—that deep hush that follows the gusty wind. I put my soul in the sense of hearing, but. no human shadow of sound greeted it. When the storm swelled again I drew the bolt and looked into the night; a black pall hung over the earth and sky. I had as good a chance to pass him in the obscurity as he to catch me. With my knife ininy teeth, and the massive thigh bone of a skeleton to fell him with, if I must, I drew off my shoes and stepped out into the darkness. A sudden whirl of the tempest almost took me off my feet, and a brick, dislodged from one of the chimneys, grazed my head in its passage and broke in half on the pavement., With bated breath, and a step like the tread of a panther scenting his prey, I parted the thick darkness and turned my face toward the hospital.— He might be either here—-or hid in the angle of the wall at the door through. which I must enter. This seemed most probable; but there was another door known only to doctors. . I thought I would elude him. With infinite caution I began to scale the high wall, dreading horribly lest some sudden break in the sky might revealto the wild eyes that watched for me —Dbut no. £ ;

Safely passing the summit, I threw my lég over for the descent, and felt. my foot seized. It was butthe c¢limbing tendril of a wild vine, skirting the wall. Grasping my knife in my right hand, I crept along the bushes for fifty yards, then struck across the lawn for the side entrance. The darkness perplexed me, but I thought I was steering straight. Suddenly my foot struck: bricks.. What was this? I tried to recollect. - There was no pavement: around that part of the hospital. I pushed uncertainly, and feeliug a weight in' the air, put out my hand to grope for some clue to my whereabouts: I was in an ‘alley—flanked with stone walls far above my head. I gave asudden turn. In an instant I knew I was in'the subterranean passages of the asylum. Turning to retrace I}?y steps, the opaque density of some heavy body crouched between me and the outer air. I heard its stifled breathing—its stealthy tread approach me. - Just heavens! he had followed me from the very door of the dead house here! A struggle for life with a madman in these narrow, gloomy, vaults-—to lie in the pool of one’s own heart’s .blood in this undiscovered tomb—and my young wife, Constance!—was maddening! = For an instant my brain was on fire. Then I thought there might be an exit —other devious windings in which I could elude my deadly pursuer. Going deftly backwards, I turned the angle in the wall, and fhen plunged at the utmost speed of a:young and active man along the back passage. Instantly I knew 1 was pursued. Meeting another erossed .gaﬁhl struck into it in the opposite direction. The maniac instantly followed me. What a race ‘through those cavernousdepths of the mad house! What tragic 'tga'n‘s might lark at ever{ step ? wﬁt;mack' and stagnant pools lie waiting to engulf me? what deeper depths of icy black‘ness in which to fall—and fall forever! The passage grew ,x;lg\mwet: We ‘were, 'perhafs, under the very center* of the building, and fartherest from the outer air.’ T had tried to breathe noiselessly; the effort exhausted me. I knew nothing of the labyrinths;— -could only ggxgps at our position by the distance from the entrance. Ihui ‘counted the turnings we had made. I

thought) I could retrace them. My strength was failing. I was the fleetest, but he was the most enduring. - Presently hé would run me down.— /It was a terrible venture, but the necessity was imminent. I would try it. Gathering all my force, I darted like 2an arrow into the darkness. The suddenness of my increased speed baffled him. Isucceeded in putting fifty yards between us, gained and turned the next angle; then drawing against the wall with every nerve and muscle strained into” preternatural tension, with the mighty heaving of my spent chest crushed into silence by an iron effort of despairing will, I awaited for him to pass me. I heard him come rushing on with new strength through the blackness, reach the angle, turn it, striking his massive body against the Jutting stones. ‘I heard him spring like an animal on dlong the track. I felt fhis hot breath like steam—the foam of his set jaws flung across my face—and he stopped I felt that he was feeling for me ! that he was crouching on the stones. Isaw the red of | his eye-balls glare up to me through the darkness. I felt the touch of his icy flesh on my hand. ILike lightning ‘ he raised himself, and throwing his vass weight against me, pinoined me to the stones. And thie mad rage of a man at bay surged .upward to my brain. Iclasped my knife convulsively and seized him by the throat, resolved todie hard. It’was hairy —it was shaggy. The hands against my chest had a thick coat of fur. Iclasped him tomy breast. It was Lion! my dog, Lion. -

Rouse yourself; I have had an interview with your' maniac, and he is srowling around the grounds_ after me now. Call upthemen. I mustgo after Philip immediately.” ‘ “You don’t say so ?” “Yes; don’t waste a second.” - In five minutes the whole force of the hospital was out in the grounds. We took him in the angle of the great doorway, crouched behind the jutting wall, waiting for me! He drew his lips back over 'his teeth, in the dumb ferocity of a mad brute, as he saw me, and his eyes settled into a dull, lurid glare, impossible to describe, as he hissed out. “ Ha! this is twice—twice youtriumph; wait till the third time.”. Around the blazing grate, in the closing hour of the tempest tossed night, we shook hands over the gladness of our re-union; and after the stormy night was over, and the horror first, -and the laughter after, (at the close of my adventure), and Derby and King had left, and Harry Leigh and I stood ‘at the window watching the young winter day rise over the hills, there was something very like tears over the bold, bright blue of his eyes as he pointed to the granite walls of the mad house, and said: “Constance would have gone there, Keene, or died, and mine would have been a heavy life after.”—7'he Family Herald. :

" Horse Racing at Fairs. : The following resolutions - were adopted by the Grangers of Jackson township, Wayne county, at a meeting held on the 17th ult. WHEREAS, Industrial fairs were instituted for the purpose of prompting the interests of the industrial classes, and to be instructive as well as amusing and pecuniarily beneficial to all, they must be divested of many of their present objectionable features, among whicli are horsa racing, the unjust awarding of premiums and the presence ;of lotteries and other gambling institutions. Therefore, Resolved, That we believe the present unjust management of our industrial fairs to be more calculated to disseminate vice and immorality among our fellow laborers than to improve and ameliorate their condition. Resolved, That we hold that the intrinsic value of fast horses for industrial purposes is comparatively nothing and consequently their rearing does not deserve encouragement, and that horse racing is no more or less than a species of gambling, and therefore deserves our just contempt. Resolved, That we will withhold all aid and support from every:industrial fair or exposition that tolerates any of the above enumerated evils.

A Terrible Nightmare. A gentleman in an upper township, out west, of course, got the nightmare one night not long ago, and dreamed that he was standing on a railroad track chained to a log that was fastened to the rails. He heard the train approaching, and made the most desperate exertions ito drag the log off in time to prevent.a heart-rending disaster. He tugged, 'and pulled, and jerked, and wrestled with that log, apparently for an hour and a half, but in vain. = At last the engine dashed up, the cow-catcher struck him and he awoke. He was surprised to find himself lying on the floor, with his wife standing over him, and fondling him with a chair, and wanting to know what he meant by pulling her out of bed by the leg. He had been clinging to it with desperation, thinking it was a log—an error which was hardly more preposterous than his idea that the chair was a cow-catcher., His wife said shé would excuse him that time, but- he would have to signa pledge never to bave any more athletic nightmare?. or submit to a separation.

In thousands of instances the Government has o keep a set of barnacles in office who cost more than the fruits of - their labor are worth. And -especially is this the case in collecting the duties on imported goods. It is said that in thiry ports along the New England coast, the receipts in 1872-3 were $625,000, and the expenses, $232,000, or: more than one-third. In sixteen ‘of these ports, ot more than one-half the number, the cost of collection actually. exceeded the receipts, -In some cases, as at Stonington, Conn., the excess of expeusés was small, about $2OO mors than the receipts. In others it was enormous. At Ellsworth, Me:, it cost. the Government $lBB to - collect every dollar réceived. In Kennebunk, Me,, just $6.29 were collected during the year, and the expenses for collecting were $1,279. The ports of Gloucester. and Edgartown furnish the worst cases of political Custom Houses on record. In the former it took $18,910 last year to collect $5,662, and in the latter $6,650 to collect $675. One would say that it ought not to cost: much more to. collect $5,000 than $l,OOO, since a Custom House force has to be maintained in either case, but our political Collectors have the knack of increasing the expenses out of all proportion to the increase in reoei?ﬁ.
