From the number or roughs and sporting

FORCING A GlRtt TO RIARHY.
Another Lunatic Asylum Outragr
Fl.KJIIT FROM PkOSICCTIO AT HolllS
Abrsction and Incarceration as to
Maniac In a Den op IUntuntANS.
From the Dubuque Herald.
About eighteen months ago a dashing
young man of polished address arrived in
this city, and soon made tbo acquaintance
of a beautiful youag girl. Her parents,
strange to ssy, 'supported the claims or hot
lover, and used every machination to bring
aboutthe union. Doubtless impressed with
the seeming reality of tho adventurers
wealth, they imagined that it would prove
'a good. match," forgetting that is not gold
that glitters.
The good sense of tbe'girl suggested tUat
ill was not what it might be. At lengbt,
wearied hy bis importunities, she determin
ed to rid herself of the tormentor by seek
ing refuge among friends. But now her
trouble Increased tenfold. Leaving home
with naught but a thin scarf to protect her
delicate frame from wind and weather, she
went to visit a family where she hoped at
least all e would be free front persecution.
But ao; father, mother, and brother has
tened to concoct a plan whereby passion
might be revenged if parental obedience wa
disreguarded. , .
Accordingly, one day she was persuaded
to take a ride Into the country, accompaied
by her brother and so-called friend, in the
capacity ot an ex-sheriff. She at first ob
jected on account of the cold, but was met
with the reply that there was a fire In ibo
car, and she woold be warm. Like a lamb
going'Mo the slaughter, she was hurried to
the railroad depot, and when her j ourney
was over sbe found herself immured in a
lunatic asylum.
No communication with the outer world:
no fetters around ber, and not a prison, but
almost worsel a maniac cell, was ber apart,
meet, and sounds of fiendish laughter her
companions. A feeling of resigned despair
stole over her, and she felt it was best to
try and bear tip, trusting to God. In vain
bad she inquired the rea son oi ber confine
ment taunt and scoffs were. the only an
swers she received. Patiently she eniured
the abuses which were heaped upon her?
meekly she bore the epithets wbi.cb ignorant
underlings applied to ber.
But when she witnessed tie ignominious
treatment which, the other tfnbappy in
mates of the plaoe underwent ber spirit was
stirred, and she ventured to remsnstrate,
and dared to complain of wbcb she saw and
heard. Was she heeded t Yes. But bow?
For tbirty-tbree hours was she strapped
down until the very injuries which she bad
noted In others warn aotu illy applied to
htrself, At the expiration or a certain
peried she waa UoeU to leave that inhu
man den or barbarism, without any certifi
cate wbalevor. Fourteen months of a
precious lire bad she spent within those
walls. But she was not conqueced.
The Proof-Sbeet, a type-founder's trade
periodical published in Philadelphia, con
tains a laughable "Map ef Boston and Adja

viewed from such a point In space that
Boston appears, as tba geographical center
of theglolie. Tbe Hub iv represented to
be abont the size or Lake Ontario, and New
York Is too small to figure at all. The
great lakes are tbe Boston waterworks;
Mexico, Iceland, and South America con
tain tbe gas works; the South Pacific I
dotted with Boston bath-houses; Madeira
is tbe Yankee vinegar factory; and in the
center of Aliica is the office ol tbe Atlantic
Monthly.
