"One of my boyhood recollections," J said General Wade Hampton to a select coterie of conversationalists at the Metropolitan, according to the Chicago Times-Herald, "refers to Henry Clay. He was a frequent visitor at my father's house in South Carolina. Both Clay and my father were ardent whist players and nothing was more to their minds than the collection of a brace of gentlemen, equally addicted to whist, and then the quartette would play for hours. While the name whist might serve to imply a game where silence reigned, my father and Clay didn't play whist that way. They exulted audibly over a success, and did not hesitate when they were playiDg as partners to violently point out mistakes the other had made and attributed defeat to the other's ignorance and utter lack of natural intelligence. Indeed, on occasions particularly trying, they were even known to apply hard names to one another. This they did in no slanderous spirit, but to brighten up and sharpen the wits of the other to the improvement of his play. As they were sitting down to a game as partners one evening Clay remarked : " 'It's a great outrage the way we talk to each other, and my idea now, at the outset, is for each of us to put up $20 to belong to the one who is first called hard names by the other. If you assail me the money is mine ; if I forget myself you take it.' "My father readily agreed. He felt in a mild, agreeable mood. He was confident he would never again be a prey to the slightest impulse to speak harshly to his dear friend Clay. And, besides, it was his recollection that Clay was the man who raged and did the loud talking. So my father cheerfully placed the $20 on top of Clay's. He thought it would be a good lesson to the blue grass orator to lose it. As they proceeded with the game Clay made some excessively thickheaded and ill-advised plays. He led the wrong cards; he trumped the wrong tricks; he did everything idiotic in whist that he well could. My father's blood began to boil. As he and Clay lost game after game his wrath ran higher and higher. Still he bit his lip and suffered in silence. It went on for hours, until Clay made yOoxt nf flrnivninor imhf>wlit,V OUUIU Vi v*VTf J which lost him and my father the eleventh game. Flesh and blood could bear no more. My father sternly pushed the $40 over to Clay. " 'Why, said Clay, opening his gray eyes, 'why do you do that? You haven't said a word.' " 'No,' retorted my father, 'but I'm going to tell you, sir, that you are the most abject idiot, the most boundless imbecile that ever dealt a hand at whist. Yes, sir; I repeat it you are the fool I ever met in my life.'" SOT Lawyer?Now, sir, you stand under oath that this man had the appearance of a gentlemen. Will you be good enough to tell the jury how a gentleman looks in your estimation? Witness?Well, er?er?a?gentleman looks?er?er?like?er? Lawyer?I don't want any of your ers, sir; and remember you are on oath. Can you see anyone in the courtroom who looks like a gentleman ? Witness (with sudden asperity)?I can if you will stand out of the way. You're not transparent. 8?&?Kind Gentleman?That boy just hit you, did he? Small Boy?Yes, he did. Kind (jentiemau?wen, now why don't you heap coals of fire on his bead, like a good boy? Small Boy?Do good boys do that? Kind Gentleman?Yes, indeed, all good boys do. Small Boy?Well, I guess I must be dead wicked, then, 'cause I don't want to burn the chump to death ; I just want to punch his head. J?* The following answer was given by a cheerful school-boy, who was asked to describe the general structure of the body: "The skull is the place where they keep their brains, if they have any, the thorax contains the heart and the lungs and the liver, and other things too many to mention ; and in the abdomen we find the vowels, 'a,' 'e,' 'i,' 'o,' 'u,' and sometimes 'w' and 'y'!" V3F A French gentleman whose admiration for some girls considerably exceeded his ability to speak it in English, met the young women at one or two festivities, and was greatly impressed ; but when he met them at an evening reception, in full dress, he was quite overcome. "I cannot say," he confided to one of his hosts, "how beautiful the ladies appear in their night dresses."

That's him who is standing . there with a piDk shirt on and smoking his pipe. "My dear," said Sirs. Snaggs, "what is a canard?" "Don't you know what a canard is?" queried Snaggs, rather sneeringly. ""Why, the word itself conveys its own meaning." "Doesit? Well, really, I can't see it. What does it mean, dear?" "Why, a canard is something one cauardly believe, of course." At the Soda-Fountain.?Clerk? What flavor? Bridget (aside to rat)? Phat do he mean, Pat? Pat?Whist, Biddy; don't show yer ignorance ; they has fruit flavors in the soda.

When Abraham Lincoln was 25 years old his life appeared to have been a failure. He had retired from keeping a country store and from surveying land, loaded with debt. Nominated for the legislature of Illinois, he bad been badly defeated. Rut at the tge of 25 he was again nominated, and ihis time he was elected. He was reflected three times, and in 1840 devoted himself to the practice of law. " " s? u:_ T>? 3ir. unuenueu, in uis icisuwu j\cniniscenccs," expresses the opinion iliat the turning-poin in Lincoln's career was a fight, and that his success in life dates from his winning it. In those primitive days L'ncoln was ooked upon as the champion of New Salem, he being the tallest and strong;st man in the township ; its best wrester and jumper. He was not a fightng man, but the bragging of his townsnen caused him to be challenged by ,he champion of Clary's Grove, the leighboring village?one Jack Armstrong, a good-natured giant. The contest to determine who was ,he better man had only two rules, rhere was to be "no grasping or hitting >elow the belt," and he who should irst "down" the other mau was to be ,hs victor. The male population of the two villages gathered to see the two men .trive for the honor of their respective ocalities. a ? :? Armstrong wus suppuscu iu uc iudncible as a wrestler. Grasping Lin:oln's body, he tried to throw him. jiucoln kept himself upright, though Armstrong moved him from right to eft, forward and backward, and tried n vain to trip him. Excited by his failure and by the ihouts of his friends, Armstrong grasp:d Lincoln far below the hips?a foul iold. Liucoln protested against the in fairness, but his adversary, disregarding the remonstrance, tried to hrow him. Then Lincoln, whose arms were uulsually long, shot out his right arm, :aught Armstrong by the throat, forc;d him to release his hold, and holdng him at arm's length, shook him as a errier shakes a rat. The Clary's 5rove boys, seeing that their cham)ion was beateu, rushed to, assist him. "No, no, boys!" shouted honest rack, in spite of the grasp on his throat 'Abe Lincoln has whipped me fair and louare! He's the best man. If he'll 1 et me up, the man that wants to whip lim has first got to whip Jack Armstrong." This manly expression ended the iontest. The two men became warm riends. Armstrong's house was one >f Lincoln's homes. Armstrong's wife >ecame his good angel; her children ilimbed upon his knees and kissed the sadness away from his melancholy face. Armstrong helped to elect him to the egislature, and years after Lincoln successfully defended one of the sons vho had sat on his knee, when tried "or murder. iAPOLEOS'S PREPARATION FOR DEATH. Before the end of 1820 it was certain hat he could not live long. In De;ember of that year the death of his sister Eliza was announced to him. 'You see, Eliza has just shown me the ,vay. Death, which has forgotten my amily, has begun to strike it. My urn cannot be far ofF." Nor was t. On May 5, 1821, he died. His preparations for death were like lim?methodical. During the last 'ortnight of April all his strength was - nr.^iLj? pent in aiciuung 10 ^uuniuuiuu uis ast wishes. He even dictated, ten lays before the end, the note which le wished sent to Sir Hudson Lowe :o announce his death. The articles te had in his possession at Lougwood te had wrapped up and ticketed with ;he names of the persons to whom he wished to leave them. His will renemhered numbers of those whom he sad loved or who had served him. Even the Chinese laborers he had eraployed about the place were remembered. "Do uot let them be forgot:eu. Let them have a few score of lapoleons." The will included a final word on jertain questions on which he felt posterity ought distinctly to understand his position. He died, he said, n the apostolical Roman religion. He ieclared that he had always been pleased with Marie Louise, whom he besought to watch over his son. To :bis son, whose name recurs repeatedly u the will, he gave a motto?"All for :he French people." He died prema 1- 1-- i... .ureiy, JUG ?uu; usausdiuabuu u> nit/ English oligarchy. The unfortunate results of the invasion of France he attributed to the treason of Marmout, A.ugereau, Talleyrand and Lafayette. He defended the death of the Due I'Enghien. "Under similar circumstances I should act in the same way." rhis will is sufficient evideuce that he 3ied as he had lived, courageously and proudly, aud inspired by a profound conviction of the justice of his own cause. In 1822 the French courts, though, declared it void. High-Priced Cigars.?The Rothschilds of London are said to smoke the most costly brand of cigars made?the 'Grandos de Cuba," made at Havana.

A Thrilling Experience in an Insane Asylum. In the suinuier of 1860 I had oceasiou to visit a well-known asylum for the insane. The institution is, I believe, reckoned among the best of its kind in this country. The distinguishing feature in its system of treatment is that of accordiug to patients all reasonable freedom?a system which, 1 am informed, has been followed with the most encouraging results. So far as practicable, the inmates of the asylum are treated like sane men aud women ; instead of being constantly reminded of their infirmity, they were led to forget it, if the power to forget it remaius. On the day of my visit I had purchased a case of medicines for one of the assistant physicians, who was an intimate friend. This I had done at his request, and it was to deliver these medicines that I made ray journey to the asylum. Ascending the massive stone step3, I was conducted by one of the attendants iuto the reception-room. Here I was left to wait until my presence could be announced to my friend, Dr. Balcom. It so happened that I was the ouly occupant of the room, and to engage my mind while I waited, I picked up a copy of De Quincey's "Confessions," and began to read. While thus occupied a voice accosted me, saying: "Did von wish to see anv one. sir?" Looking up, I saw the speaker was a small, neatly dressed man, who had entered unobserved, and who had evidently addressed me to make his presence known. "I was waiting," I replied, "to see Dr. Balcom." "The doctor is engaged just at present on a very important case. Would you like to make a tour of the building?" I answered that I should be plaesed to do so, and thereupon my friend conducted me out into the hall. I discovered that he was one of the attendants in the asylum ; and he also informed me that he had studied insanity for a number of years with a view to fitting himself for a physician. Under so excellent a guide I was conducted through the building, and shown the numerous points of interest. Those patients whose cases possessed particular interest were also pointed out to me, and their idiosyncrasies fully explained. "The man whom we just passed," said my companion, referring to a large, fresh-faced, mild-eyed patient, "is one of the most dangerous patients we ever had." "Indeed !" I replied; "one would not think so from looking at him." "No; but the appearauce of insane people is deceptive. There was a woman here sometime ago?a pale, sweetfaced, delicate creature?whom we all thought a saint, and who acted as one until she succeeded in getting hold of a carving knife, and th n she cut the throats of two of her felow-patients." "Is there not danger,' I asked, "in granting so much liberty to inmates?" "Well, it is our system. We find in some instances, of course, that the freedom is abused, hut in the majority of cases it works well." This and much more conversation took place between the attendant and myself as we passed through the halls. "I observe," he said, that you carry a medicine chest, and I infer that you are a physician." "No," I rejoiued; although I have the equipments of a doctor, I should make but sorry work using them. They belong to Dr. Balcom, and I called to deliver them." Then, looking at my watch, I added, "I fear I am keeping the doctor waiting by my long absence." "I think he is not disengaged yet," returned my companion ; "we shall have time to go out on the roof of the building, from which the views are really maguificeut." Accordingly ray guide led the way up the spiral staircase, which connected the topmost story with the roof, I followed at his heels. As we emerged through the broad skylight, the scene which presented itself to the eye was really magnificent. To the right lay the river, winding like a silver thread through the pleasant valley; in front could be seen the distant spires of the neighboring town, glistening in the sunlight; and afar off rose the hills, their summits lost in the blue of the heavens. The carefully kept grounds of the asylum beneath us looked like a map, gorgeous with its many hues of flowers. "This certainly is a pleasant view," I said. "It is still better from the opposite side of the buildiug," returned my guide. "Let us go over there." Accordingly we walked along the flat roof, the attendant taking the precaution to close the skylight behind us, lest any of the patients should be tempted to follow us. The asylum is some 250 feet in length, and as we emerged from the westerly end of the roof wc had this considerable distance to walk. Suddenly, when we had reached a point midway in the building, my com paniou siuppuu nun Luiuuj^ iiit abruptly, said: "Have you a large brain ?" I looked at him a little wonderiugly, and then laughed as I replied : "Well, if I have, the world has not discovered it." "Don't jest, sir," he said, petulantly, aud with a seriousness that Hashed an unpleasant suspicion across my mind. "I wish to know distinctly, whether or not you have a large brain ?" He was looking me full in the face, with a peculiar expression in his dark eyes which I had not before observed. There was not the slightest betrayal ol levity in his manner. He was terribly in earnest. His thin white .fingers worked convulsively, and there was a twitching about the muscles of his mouth, such as I have seen in persons suffering intense pain. The horrible p truth flashed upon me as I returned u his steadfast gaze. This man was a r( maniac. u I am possessed, I fancy, of an aver- . uge amount of courage, but at that B moment I felt it oozing out of the very pores of. my skin. I know I turned deathly pale, and tor a moment was utterly unable to think. Then I grew iji calmer. Doubtless this man had brought me on the roof of the building with the idea of pushing me oflf. v As I have already said, he was a small v man. Physically, I was his superior. J But I was without weapon of defence. B Sunnose that he was armed ! r rI "My good sir," I said, endeavoriug to speak in a natural tone, "I can as- fl sure you that my brain is not a large a one, and as my time is limited, I think ? we hud better go down now." I made a movement as if to retrace I: ray steps to the skylight. Quick as thought the madman sprang in front f] of me, and with his eyes glaring wild- (J ly, albeit he spoke in a low, unexcited voice, he said : "I think your brain is large enough for my purpose, sir. You must understand that I have a great missiou in this world to fulfil?a mission which I ^ have not as yet begun. The strain upon my own mental faculties will be jtoo great. I therefore intend to take your brain and insert it in my head." e: "Here he drew from the breast pock- '' et of his coat a large-sized clasp dagger, which he opened, and began to run the blade up and down the palm of his hand. "I have given years of thought to L this subject," he continued, "and I ? am convinced that I shall succeed. I. With a double brain power I shall be ? enabled to accomplish a double amount r of brain work. I have been waiting a ? long time for a subject, but not until L I saw you did I find one who suited ? my purpose. You are the man?the A brain for which I have been watching." ~ "I fear, sir," I said, "that you are ? sadly mistaken. Your idea is a grand i. one?an original one. But I am not ? fit to aid you in carrying it out. You l should select a strong, active, healthy Jbrain. Mine, on the contrary, is weak A and diseased. Why, sir, up to the age of fourteen I was considered an idiot. Since then my friends do not ~ permit me to have control of my own alFairs. I am actually little better than ? a lunatic. I can neither read -nor l write. I"? ? "Nevertheless," he interrupted, you l will answer my purpose, and I am ? about to take out your brain with this l dagger, and insert it in my own head. ? I have brought you out on the roof l that we may be free from interrup- ^ tions. You will oblige me by now lying down." i If ray mind had been stunned by the L first discovery of the man's madness, it ? was active enough now. A thousand l schemes rushed through my head; I ? took in the situation fully. I was L alone with a madman armed with an t ugly weapon, and he was bent upon my destruction. To cry out would be useless ; nobody could hear me. The 5 chauces of any aid from those within the asylum were small indeed. I v could not fun away. If I attempted to gain the skylight, I should be cer- a tainly killed. The medicine case iu my hand suggested the thought which saved my life. ? "If you are determined to make use of such an unworthy subject as I," I said, "well and good ; I shall offer no further resistance. But I ask that you will grant me nve minutes wane < I a 'dress a brief farewell to all my i friend* I will give it to you to deliver to them." Very well," he replied, "if you ? know how to write, proceed. I will wait five minutes." ^ He took up his position a foot from * me, watching every movement I made with horrible eagerness. I knelt down ? with my back toward him, took from i the medicine case a bottle of chloro- L form (which I knew it contained) and j saturated my handkerchief with the L liquid. This I succeeded in doing ? without his knowledge. Then, rising L to my feet, I scribbled some uuintelli- gible words upon the back of an envel- ^ ope, and said: L "You will do me the honor of read- Jing what I have written here." He came toward me, and while I ? held the envelope in my hand, he stood l by my side ana looked at the writing. ? I had the handkerchief in my rigni- j hand, and the envelope in the left. As he beut forward to decipher the words, r I suddenly clutched his hand which a held the dagger, and at the same in- ? stant clapped the handkerchief over c his face and mouth. He struggled A. fiercely for a moment or two, and a then the fumes of the drug began j. to tell upon him. His efiorts to release himself grew weaker, and he ~ finally fell to the floor insensible. With all haste I made my way to the skylight, down the spiral case, and $ iu to the hall below. There I recount- 1 i ed what had a happened, and two of I1 the assistants were sent to bring down ? the murderous maniac. He recovered from the effects of the chloroform, and when last I heard of him, he was still - A !-L u:... looking for a sunject 10 iuruisu mm with au extra brain. flOME PRINTERS ' Do "Cheap" Job Printing * at "Cheap" Prices; 5 THE ENQUIRER a I Does FINE Job Printing at LOW Prices.
