JThrilllng Experiences of n Pro tor
sional Nurse.
(Ft oiii the Phila. Sunday News.) >
Alfred J. Nutt, the professional
nurse, who was in attendance upon
John Mct'ullough when he made his
last appearance upon the stage,and who
nursed the tragedian during the greater
portion of his illness, has had some sin
gular experiences. lie served a four
years'course in St. Thomas' Hospital,
London, to perfect him for his profes
sion. He was afterwards countered
with Guy's and Bartholomew's II os
pita), I<ovdon. The course of instruc
tion is very complete and requires near
ly as much close study as is necessary
to become a physician or surgeon.
Upon entering an English hospital
for instiuction the student is tlrst ic
qnired to serve a term in washing bot
tles in the dispensary. Ills next woik
is "body snatching." This includes
the handling of the bodies of ah dead
patients and their removal from tho
wards to tho mortuary. Ilis next place
of service is tho accideut ward, and
after familiarizing himself with eyery
variety of accident he serves successive
ly in the medical and then in the sur
gical wards. Four years elapse before
he completes this found, and then he is
a qualified hurse. The compensation
for the work is trilling.
Mr. Nutt has been all over the world
in the capacity of nurse since graduat
ing, and in 1576 was one of Florence
Nightingale's famous corps of trained
nurses that weut to Genoa, l'oorraan
and Carthagenia during the prevalence
of the Asiatic Cholera.
ASIATIC CHOLERA PATIENTS.
The nurses served seven months at
Genoa,where the deaths numbered tens
of thousands, and noue of them con
tracted the disease. The hospitals
were built upon poles, similar to those
used iu India aud other warm Climates,
in order to allow a current of air to pass
underneath. Each building was a ward
iu itself, and had accommodations for
twenty patients. Mr. Nutt gave some
idea of the fearfui mortality by the
statement that during any day of the
seven months of service it was a litre
occurrence to find two living patients
at 6 o'clock in the morning out of
the twenty he had left at 10 o'clock the
previous night when he went off duty.
Before commencing their twelve
months' service at Poorman and Car
thagenia the nurses were taken to Con
stantinople for rest. It is a singular
fact that of the numlcr who w< re in
the scivice but two died, and neither of
these of cholera, one of there having
been drowned in the Bay of Biscay and
the other dying at Constantinople from
other causes. No preventatives were
used, and Mr. Nutt ascribes their es
caping the disease to utter fearlessness;
the keeping of the system in a regular
condition ; plenty of open air exercise
and a careful diet.
A HUMAN GASOMETER.
Since his arrival in this country, Mr.
Nutt's attention has been mostly given
to tbe care of insane persons, of whom
he relates many curious ana interesting
incidents. One of these, who had lost
a large fortune in oil speculation, im
agined himself a gasometer. Mr. Nutt
had considerable trouble in pacifying
him. lie would cry out that he was so
full of gas that he would explode, and
would ask his nurse to tap him. Act
ing upon this suggestion, Nutt pressed
his hand gently on the insane man's
diaphragm and he at once commenced
to make a hissing noise escaping
steam. Whenever he became frantic
afterwards the operation would be re
peated aud the poor ftllow would sink
back contentedly upon his bed and say,
"Thank God I that terrible ordeal is
oyer."
Another patient labored under the
hallucination that he was pursued by
an army of Chinamen, and that count
less numbers of tbe Celestials were con
stantly coming through his window,
lie would shriek with terror and hide
himself under the bed-clothes from tie
imaginary pursuers, lie was finally
quieted by the hanging of a knotted
rope near his bed, at which he would
tug constantly, and at each pull say,
"Another pigtail gone." This was
kept up until his death, for he thought
that it would take a lifetime to depopu
late the Flowery Kingdom.
One of the saddest cases that Mr.
Nutt ever handled was a robust and
handsome young tellow holding an ex
cellent position and moving in good
circles of society in New York city. He
became engaged to a lady in a sphere of
life much above his own, and the cards
were out for the wedding. Two weeks
before the time announced for the cere
mony to take place he became despond
ent oyer his inability to meet the ex
penses necessary to the occasion. This
preyed upon bis mind so much that his
reason was dethroned. Mr Nutt was
summonedto attend liim,and thus tells
of the case: k
" He was bustlingjaround his room in
a* full dress suit when I arrived, and
was anxiously awaiting the arrival of
his bride. Upon entering his room he
greeted me warmly, and asked whether
the special train with his bride had ar
rived. He said the event of his mar
riage would be the topic of conversa
tion. That the Fifth Avenue Hotel
had been taken for the occasion, a Cun
arcer engaged for a European tour, tlie
road in front of the house tanned, and
that musical boxes had been placed un
der every chair. Poor fellow, a rough
and tumble time I had with him. He
gave me a pretty good shaking up. I
took bim to an asylum next day, and
two months afterward I learned of his
death.
A STRANGE HALLUCINATION.
A peculiar case was that of a poor
imbecile whose mind had been shattered
bj the belief that he was doomed to de
vote his life to sewing buttons on gar
ments. His insanity was the result of
religious excitement, and he firmly be
lieved his task would absolve him from
some imaginary sin: Day after day he
would sew the buttons on any old piece
of rag he could get. He was considered
a most harmless patient until a servant
Lad occasion to enter his room one day
and found the lifeless body of the luna
tic. He had literally picked the arteries
in his wrist to pieces with the needle
with which he was doing life penance.
Another patient had become crazy
ovor politics. lie had aspired to some
oillce, and being beaten ascribed liis dt
feat to adverse newspaper criticism.
From the' time of his unsuccessful can-
didacy his mind was gone. lie was re
moved to (lie asylum and placet! under
Mr. Nutt's care. lie was kept quiet by
being supplied with newspapers, which
ho lore into iufinltessimal pieces, all
the time laughing at his ability to de
stroy what he thought was the cause of
his downfall.
One of Nutt's patients had a suicidal
mania. He was an elderly gentleman
of checiful appearance, and aside from
tho fact that ho wanted to die, gave
very little trouble. He died an imag ! -
liaiy death about fourteen times each
day, for he took what he thought was a
bottle nf laudanum every hour while ho
was awake. The lwttlo contained
water, and after swallowing the harm
less liquid the old gentleman would lie
down upon his tied and hlddinr every
body good-bye go through a death scene
that would do credit to many first-class
actors.
A I KA/V DANCING MASTER.
One of the most amusing cases was a
crazy dancing master. His weakness
was waltzing and no attendant could
enter the room without being seised by
the lunatic and whirled around the
room to the imaginary strains of one of
Strauss' pretty airs. Strauss was his
favorite composer and the dancing
master would become violent if any
other music was suggested. On one
occasion Mr. Nutt humored his patient
by being waltzed around the room for
thirty minutes. Becoming exhausted
he dropped into a chair, when the
patient,who showed no signs of fatigue,
became violent in being stopped in his
beautiful waltz, and had to be secured.
Mr. Nutt has an ugly scar upon his
right cheek, the result of a terrible en
counter with one of his more violent
patients. The man had been in former
days what is termed a "high roller."
He had plenty of money and lived a life
of elegant ease. Champagne was his
favorite drink, and I*iper Ileidsick was
the brand he swore by. When among
a gathering of friends he invariably or
dered the wine for which he had such a
taste, and would then worry his friends
constantly talking of the merits of his
favorite drink. He finally became in
sane on the subject and was placed in
an asylum. To quiet him a quart bot
tle that had once contained the "bev
erage of the gods," as he termed it,was
given him and he would open about
two dozen imaginary bottles each day
and finally became yeiy proficient in
imitating the squeak of tbe cork, the
pop and tliesizz as the wine was insured
out.
One day the I'iper Ileidsick bottle
was broken, and ono that bore the label
of Mu nam's extra dry was given him in
its place. For four days he sat and
contemplated it and then became vio
lent. The attendants who brought his
food ried from him, as he threatened to
brain them. For the safety of the at
taches of the asylum it was thought ad
visable to secure the maniac and Mr.
Nutt took upou himself this task.
Boldly entering the room lie confront
ed the champaign-loving lunatic, who
at once arose, and brandishing the bot
tle endeavored to brain the nurse. Nutt
closed in on him, and then commenced
a terrible hand to hand fight. The
strength and craftness of the iusane
man perhaps gave him a slight advan
tage, but Nutt's experience among
crazy people bad fitted him to skillfully
cope with his antagonist. He seized
the lunatic, and after a struggle that
lasted fully, fifteen miuutes, succeeded
iu getting his fingers upon the maniac's
throat and was fast choking him into
insensibility when the crazed man
broke away and dealt Nutt a frightful
blow upon the right jaw with the hot
tie. The bottle was broken into a
thousand pieces aid Nutt sank to the
lloor unconscious from the blow, while
his crazy antagonist fainted from ex
haustion. Before either men recovered
the attendants had the maniac safely
tied and placed him in a cell where he
could do no mere damage.
This was one of Mr.Nutt's most dan
gerous experiences, and, although be
was laid up for some days, he returned
to his work and dealt with lunatics
equally as violent, but who were more
easily overcome.
lie is now registered at the College of
Nurses, in this city, and has attended
several prominent people within the
last two years.

'This is the description of it,' and he

'That's all right. 1 know what she

'You'll please wrap it up yery careful

IN HAVANA.
A Traveler Seen Strange ami Interest
ing Sights.
A correspondent of the Indianapolis
Journal shjs in a letter from Havana :
On the landing you are greeted by the
Customhouse officials, who wish to see
your passports to examine your luggage
etc. Tho ladles of the party objected
to having their trunks opened and the
contents exposed to the vulgar gaze of
these pompous Individuals. It was the
custom, however, and no amount of
poraaasiou would cause lliein to desist.
After the law had been satisfied the
party took carriages fori tho hotel. 1
came to see,ami 1 concluded by walking
I could stw better.At every turn I was
beset by raenbiconts ; to the first few
1 gave the small change *1 had ; it was
not long before 1 hud a siuallat my at my
heels. To escape them 1 called a rati
and was soon at the hotel. This being
a fete week, there were all kinds of a
musements. The next day there was
a bull fight ; 1 concluded 1 would go.
In company willi several Spanish stu
dents I started early so as to get a
good view of this bautal sport, and
fouud I had started none to soon, as
the amphitheatre was fast filling up.
The bands, of which thero were several
played the national airs. At the given
signal the bullfighters marched iu—six
iu all. The .horses were the next to
come, led by assistants. The leader of
tbe bullfighters was a small, pale man,
in perfect form, with rather a feminine
cast of feature.
He was the prime favorite of .the la
dies, and as he marched around the
forum the ladies threw their lace hand
kerchiefs, pocket-books, and their gay
ly colored scarfs to him, which lie ac
cepted with a bow and muking the
Spauish signs as seen so often in* New
Orleans when giving alius to the poor.
This man is a professional fighter from
Madrid. He is known as Signor Mas
tia Ferretti, and comes with royal
favor. After the first bull was killed 1
came away disgusted with the brutal
sport, and must say, to the credit of
the few Americans present, they, with
one accord, followed,
Havana has some of the most elegant
buildings iu it—uotably the govern
ment buildings and hotels built of stoue.
The plaza or public square is at most a
very commonplace affair, aud not at all
as inviting as any of our parks in Ind
ianapolis. Tho population is about
.120,000, of which 23,000 is floating. It
is made up of every known race under
the sun but mainly Chinese aud Hindoo
coolies, negroes, Creoles and Spaniard*
by birth.
The Cuban Spaniards are the moneyed
men. They oontrol everything. The
Cuban's cry is Cuba for us ; down with
the Spaniards 1 Those born in Spain
are sent to this island tokeep the Cubans
poorer and the Madrid government
richer. There is scarcely a night pass
es but some Spaniard is seut to his long
home by the assassin's poniard. This
is a small knife, the blade about six
inches long, and has both edges as
keen as razor. Everybody carries
them even the ladies. As a rule, the
men carry them iu the back of the
neck, the ladies iu their dress, where
they cau lie seen with the butt peeping
out. The natural hatred thai exists
between the treoles and the Spaniards
will again lead to war, This time the
Creole will le aided by the negroe slav
es. All that is wanting now is a
Walker or a Lopez. Havana is the
gateway for the products of the island,
America being the largest consumer.
The amount of tobacco and sugar
raised on this island is simply enormous
and the revenue must be very large. It
finds its way to Madrid. The slaves or
pure negroes do the hard field work, and
do it well, although they have cruel
and brutal taskmasters. In some dis
tricts the slaves are treated more hu
manely.
The Islaud of Cuba is some 750 miles
long and fifty in width, and is moun
tainous at the south end, where the
Sierra Maestra rises to an elevation of
8,000 feet. The western or Havana
districts are the best and wealthiest
parts of the Island. It is here the Qu
est and best sugar and tobacco are
raised, which Qnd a ready market in
New Orleans and New York. Nearly
eighty-Qve per cent, ot the suear raised
here goes to America ; the balance to
England. Cuba importsbardware,salt,
Qsh, furniture, flour, manufactured
goods and machinery, etc. I saw in a
sugar refinery a Corliss engine made in
Indianopolis, and when I saw it I felt
homesick. It was only momentary
though. The ladies of Havana are very
beautiful. Their olive complexion is
set off to good advantage by the use of
their mantillas folded across the shoul
der in away that makes them bewitch
ing. If it were not for their ungovern
able tempers they would be still hand
somer. The weather here is very warm.
At night there Is a cool breeze that
comes from the bay, and with it comb*
the old fashioned Mississippi "galliuip
er." Three or four of them sueking at
once is not the best feeliug in the
world, and to know there are several
cases of yellow jack in the city makes
one feel as if be was near the jumping
off place, My advice to snowdiggers
is to keep away from Cuba, except from
November to March. After that time
it is not pleasant, unless you can ac
custom yourself .to the intense heat
and the earthquakes. This Is the home
of earthquakes, and,every well regulat
ed family has one and some to spare for
visitors.

A Trniii|t Hut Still Proud.
It was one fioe afternoon last week,
says a reporter, that the electric bell
button of a surburban mansion was
touched and sent its tinkling reverbera
tions to tiie bower, where the maid • in
blissful repose, was spelling out a soap
"ad." She answered the summons,and
upon opening the door, descried a dis
reputable looking apparition, who ut
ouce tipped a buttered hut aud humled
out a neat little iiastebourd witli the
engruved inscription :
JIKItIIKUT M AN VI LLK.
'Please give llilsio Mrs. liluiik,' he
remarked in a mild tone.
'Sir !' exclaimed the girl in a high
pitched voice.
•It's all right—all right,' replied the
visitor. Must hand it to Mrs. llluuk
and she will understand it.'
The girl disapisutred and in a tew
moments tho mutlam herself caine to
tho dtKirway. She sustained a visible
nervous shock when she caught Night
of the strange caller, but recovered in a
moment.
'What do you wish, sir?' site re
marked, haughtily.
'I just dropped in,' answered the
tramp witli a mournful intonation—*l
just dropped in to see whether you had
any cold victuals to spare.'
'Cold victuals ?' echoed the lady, an
grily. 'You come here in this manner
for cold victuals? What do you mean?
Leave the place iutautly, or I'll have
the dogs set on you.
'I fly,' replied the tramp. 'lJut be
fore I begin (lying 1 want to ask you
not to rou me of my only means of sup
port. Ido not like to coufess it, mad
am, but that card is the lust of a for
tune of 10,000 and is therefore the only
one 1 have. If you will oblige me by
returning it, you will at least assure me
an equally hospitable reception else
where as 1 have received here.'
Mrs. ltlank fairly hurled the card at
the intruder, who carefully wrapped it
up in a half newspaper and put it in his
bosom, lie turned to go, and the
tody relented aud sent him to the kitch
en for some cold doughnuts.

lady, and when he popped the questiou
she shyly replied : Yes, if papa i 9 will

repairing to the old 'gentleman. The
latter was disposed to be very particu
lar as to the character of a young man
who should come and ask the hand of
his daughter in marriage, lie ques
tioned the suitor closely as to his hab
its. The young man declared that he
neither dtank nor gambled, and us the
old gentle-ma it had previously looked
up his antecedents to some extent, he
ex pre ssed himself satisfied with these
avowels. Then he luviUd his prospec
tive son-in-law in to dinner. As the
old gentleman looked around he no
ticed that the young gentleman was
toying with the salt box in a peculiar
way.
"I'lease pass me the salt," he said.
The young gentleman gently pushed
the suit box towards paterfamilias with

to be the youngest soldier in our civil
war. Since that time we have received
Information that Avery llrown, "The
Drummer Roy of the Cumberland,"
lays claim to being the youngest soldier
and substantiates his claim with unde
niable facts.
Avery Brown was bom >t Delphos,
Allen county, Ohio, on Sjptember 28,
1852. On August 18, 18G1, he was
mustered into the United States seivice
at Camp Chase, Columbus Ohio, and
joined Company C, Thirty-first Ohio
Volunteer lofantry, First Brigade, Sec
ond Division, Fourteenth Army Corps.
His age therefore, at muster, was eight
years, eleve". months and thirteen days,
which certainly entitles him to the dis
tinction of being the youngest soldier
in the ciyil war. Ilis claim is being
conceded by ail other reputed claim
ants- At present Mr. Brown resides

Why flic Crow Is llluck.
The Indians of the extreme North
west had some very remarkable legends
about the creation, in which the crow
takes f ti6 leading part, bringing order
out of chaos. Perhaps the most curious
was that which accounted for the raven
coat of the crow. One night while
making a tour through his do
minions, he stopped at the house of
Can-nook, a chief, anil begged for lodg
ing and a drink ot water. Can-nook
offered him a bed, but, on account of
the scarcity of water, refused to giye
him anytiiing to drink. When all the
rest were asleep tho crow got up to
hunt for the water-butt, but was heard
by Can-nook's wife, who aroused her
husband. He, thinking that the crow
was about to escape, piled logs of gum
wood upon the fire. The crow made
desperate efforts to fly through the hole
in the roof where the smoke escaped,
but Can-nook caused the smoke to be
denser and denser, and when the crow
finally regained the outer air he had a
black plumage. It was previously
white.
