A few days before the legislature
convened, Miké, with a new suit of
clothes and any amount1 of adviee th)m
his trends, proceeded to ColumbuB, a
place he had ueyer visited before, in
order to get the lit)ug of the place aud

as legislator commenced. Mike got
along very well until one afternoon a
few other country members proposed a
visit to the Luuatic Asylum,, aud in-

proaching one Wing of tliO building, lie
informed the party that they were
about to visit a ward appropriated to

to converse freely with,thein without
alluding to their misfortune. The party

mediately engaged Mike's attention by
casually remarking: "Come to ¿ce the

affirmative, and soon found lilmfolfin
the special care of what he thought to
be a keeper or some sort of au oOjtaial of
the institution. Confidingly asking
Mike for a chew of tobacco, wliltli was
granionsly bestowed, he unconsciously
led him to a recess by the side of a win-
dow, and begun a detailed account of
the peculiarities of the patients with
whom they were surrounded. This one
was crazy on the subject of religion
that one 011 love. Another hud mol
with .reverses in business, which des-
troyed his reason: another had been
jilted by a lady. This one imagined
himself to be ilii eminent banker, and'
in the iiossessiou of fabulous amounts
of landed property. Thus the time
passed away itutil, the party, without
observing Mike's preoccupation, wcut
Out of the room, the key wns turned ou

with about forty monomaniacs. In an

miBcrative crowd. " You aro much to
be pitied," fluid one; "you are dement-
ed,'' another lind "you are certainly
crazy," a third. "No, no," rcplicil Mike
