Show A Freak. The " ardent" sometimes produces queer eilects on singular people. Wc have never heard of its raising the dead or making 'the blind see, but have known cases where it has caused the lameto walk, and last evening it had the effect of making the dumb articulate. A gentleman bereft of the powers of speech indulged in j . draughts of the ardent, and afterwards when hewas unceremoniously thrown out of a cigar store, his tongue was loosened, and in tones loud and unearthly, un-earthly, he cried " police !" "police!" and it was not until sometime niter he had been escorted to jail by those same police did he cease to call. Today To-day he will doubtless be dumb as a t stone again. |
