AMONU THK tNSAMt. 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. Misled By Ills Wife. The picturesque is always a feature of a woman : s description of anything. She talks grandiloquently of colors, and if you hear her describe a tablecloth you fancy its a gorgeous thing of tapestry or some equally effective picture. •My wife,' said the husband to the man in the store, 'has sent me for some thing she looked at yesterday.' 4 les.' 'This is the description of it,' and he pulls out a piece of paper which has in it a full description of an elaborate pat tern of myrid of co'ors, and all in nomj enclature that sounds like some elabo rate picture. 'You'll excuse me. I can't remember the blamed thing.' 'That's all right. 1 know what she means.' 'You'll please wrap it up yery careful ly, for if it gets spoiled before it gets there she'll be mad.' 'Certainly.' Then the man goes to a shelf and pulls out roughly a piece of something. 'Hold on,' says the husband, 'that can't bo the thing. That's chantz, or damask or something, ain't it V 'This is the article, sir.' 'What does it cost V •Forty cents a yard.'

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.

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. llvtrayed by it Suit Uux.

The young man lost no time in 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 the ends of Ids lingers. At the same time making a slight forward move ment with Ins head. "That will do," said the girl's papa ; "you can't marry my daughter."

St. Paul's Pioneer Press. "The Drummer Hoy of the ('umber land." The Chicago Ledger says : Some lime ago we presented to our readers a short sketch of Captaia Mod, who was said 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 at Elkhart. Ind. lie is a marble-cutter by trade and a musiciau of no mean a bility. He is highly respected as a citi zenand as a member of the Grand Army post, is generous to a fault, and is ever ready to lend his aid to all worthy ob jects of charity, is a genial, God-fear {□g gentleman, and conducts himself with the dignity becoming to a roan of bis distinction and reputation as "The Drummer Boy of the Cumberland." 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. Origin UL'A KMIIIOUH lHirusr.

It WIIH from a young man asking advice as to the best course to take in locating him self.
