MASK TWAIN. it i i- Wegivoup the principal portion of our editorial space, to-day, to an exquisitely humorous'' -sketch "Jim Smiley and his Jumping1 Frog" by Mark Twain, who will shortly bocomo a regular contributor to our columns. Mark '1 wain is tho assumed namo of a writer in California who has long been a favorite contributor to tho San Francisco press, from which big articles have been so extensively copied as to muico him neurly as well known as Artomus Ward.

Saturday Press. Ma. A. Warp, Dear Sir Well, I called on good-nntured, garruloua old Simon Wheeler; and I inquired after your friend Leonidas Smiley, as you requested rr.o to do, and I hereunto append tho If Vou can cot any informa tion out of it, you are cordially wel come to it. I have a lurking suspicion that your Leonidas W.

Smiley is a myth that you nover know such a personage, and that you only conjoc-tured that if 1 asked old Whcelor about him it would remind him of his infamous 'Jim Smiley, and he would go to work and boro mo nearly to death with somo infernal rcminisconco of him ns long and tedious as it should be useless, to mo. If that was your design, Mr. Ward, it will gratify you to know that it succeeded. 1 found Simon Wheeler dozing com fortably by tho bar'-rooni stove of tho littlo old dilapidated tavern in tho an cient mining camp of Boomerang, nnd 1 noticed that 11 0 wasftit and bald-head oJ, and had nn expression of winning gentleness nnd simplicity upon his tranquil countenance JIo raised up and gavo mo good-day. I told him a friend of mino had commissioned mo to mako somo inquii'os about a cherished companion 'of his boyhood named Lo6nidas W.

Smiloy-'-llov. Leonidas Smile1 a young minister or the gospel, who ho heard was nt one time a resident ol this villngoot Uoomerang. I added that if Mr. heeler could toll meinything about this Hev. Loonidas W.

Smiley, I would foci' under many obligations to him. Simon Whooler buckcfl mo luto a corner and blockaded me thero with his chair and then sat down nnd reel ed off the monotonous narrativo which follows this paragraph. Ho never smiled, ho' never frowned, ho never changed his voico from the quiet, gently-flowing koy to which ho tuned tho initial sentenco, ho nbver bctrnyod tho slightest Suspicion of enthusiasm but thro' the interminable- narrativo thero ran a vein of impressive earnestness and sincerity, which showed mo plain ly that so far from his imagining that was anything ridiculous or funny about his story, ho regarded it us a really important matter, and admired its' two heroes as men of transcendent genius in lincsso. To mo, tho spectacle of a' man drifting serenely along through such a queer j-arn without over smiling was exquisitely' absurd. As I said beioro, I asked him to tell me what ho knew of Uov.

Leonidas W. Smiley, and ho repliod as' follows. I lot hiin go on in his own way, and never interrupted him onco: There was a fuller here once by tho nnnio of Jim Smiley, in the wintor of '49or may bo it was in tho spring of '501 don't recollect exactly, somo how, though what makes mo think it was oii3 or the other is becuuso I ro-momber tho big flumo wasn't finished when be first come to tho camp; but anyway, ho was tho.curioscst man a-bout always belling on anything thut turned up you ever see, if ho could got anybody to bet on tho other sido, and if he ooutdn'tho'd change sides any way that suitod the other man would suit him any way just so's he got a bet, he was satisfied. Butstill, ho was lucky uncommon lucky; ho most always como out winner. Ho was always ready and laying for a chance; thero couldn't! be no solitary thing mentioned but what that follor'd offer to bet on it and take any sido j'6u please, as I was just telling you; if there was a horso ruco, you find him flush or you'd find him busted, nt the end of it, if thero was a dog-fight, he'd bot ori if thero.

was a cat-fight, ho'd hot on it; if thero was a chicken-fight, ho bet on it; why if thero was two birds Betting on a fence, ho would bet you which Oho, would fly first; or if thero was a camp-mooting io would be thero regular to bet on parson AValkcr which ho judgpd to bo tho best exhort-er about here, and so he was, too, nnd a good man; if he even see a straddlo-bug start to go any 'whorcsi ho would bet how long it would tako him to get where Ver he was goiiig to, and if you took him up ho would follor that straddle bug to Mexico but what ho would find out where ho was bound lor and bow long ho was on tho road. Lots of tho boys hero has s6en that Smiley and can toll you about him. Why, it ncvor rnado no difference to 7tii ho would bet on anything tho dungdeat fellor. Parson Walker's wifo laid very sick, bnco, for good while, and it seemed as if warn 't going to save her; but ooe morning ho cbmo in and S.miley askcd.him how sho wasj and ho said' sho was considerable botter--thank tho Lord for his infiiiit morcy and coming on so smart that with the blessing of Providence she'd got well yet and he thought, say's, "Well, I'll 1ak two-and-a-half that she don't any Thish-yor Smiloy hud a maro tho boj's called her tho fiftcon-minuto but that was only in fun, you know, because, oi course, sno was taster than Ihatttn hjo used, wi.a money on I f.i: .) i Jk.Ij i' III (I.

that horse, for all she was so slow and always had the asthma, or the distent per, or the consumption, or something of that kind. used to five bor two or three hundred yards' start, and then pass her under way; but always at the fag-ond of tho race she'd get excited and dospcrate-like, and como cavorting and spraddling up, and scattering hcr; legs abound limber, the air. and sometimes-out to ono sido amongst tho fences, and kicking up m-o-r-o dust.and raising ra-o-r-e racket, with her coughing and sncezin and blowing her nose and always fetch up at the stand jqst about a neck ahead, as ncur as yon could cypher it down. And hb had a littlo small bull-nuD. that to look at him you'd think he warn't worth a cent, but to set around and look ornory, and lay for a chance to steal something.

But as soon us money was up on him he was a differ ont dog his under-jnwd begin to stick out like the for'custlo of a steam boat, and his teeth would uncover, and shine savage liko the. And a dog might tncklo him, and bully-rng mm, ana bito him, and tnrow him over his shoulder two or thrco times, and Andrew Jackson--which was tho namo of tho pup-Andrew Jackson would never let on but he was satisfied, and hadn't expected nothing else end tho bets being doubled and doubled on tho other side all tho timo, till tho money was all up and then all of a sudden ho would grab that dog just by the joint of his bind legs nnd freczo to it, not chaw, you understand, but only just grip and hang on till they throw- ea up mo fpongo, it it was a year. Smiley always enmo out winner on that pup till ho harnassed a dog otce that didn't havo no hind legs, becauso they'd been sawed off in a circular saw, and whon tho thing had gono n-long fur enough, and the money was all up, and ho came, to make a snatch for his pet holt, bo saw a minuto how he'd been imposed and how tho other dog had him in tho door, so to speak, and ho 'ponrcd surprised, and then ho looked sortcrdiscaiiraged liko, and didn't try no moro to win tho fight and so ho got shucked out bud. He gavo Smiley a look as much ns to say his heart was broke, and it was his fault, for pulling up a dog that hadn't no hind legs for him to take hold of, which was his main dependence in a fight, and then ho limped off a piece, and luid down and died. It was a good thut Andrew Jackson, and would have mado a namo for himself if be'd lived, fjr tho stuff was in him, and ho had genius 1 know it bo-causo ho hadn't, had no opportunities to speak of, und it don't stand to rea son that a dog could make such a fighU as he could under thorn circumstances, if he hadn't no talent.

It always makes mo feel sorry wben I think of that last uight of his'on, and the way it turned thish-yer Smiloy had rat-lcr-ricrs and chicken cocks, and tom-cats, andall them kind of things, till you couldn't rest, and you couldn't fetch nothing tor him-to bet on but he'd mutch you. lie kctclied a frog ono day and took him. homo and said be cal'Jatcd to educate him; and so he never done nothing for tlneo months but sit in his back yard and learn that Irogtojump. 'And you bet j-qu ho did learn him, too. He'd give bim a littlo hunch behind, and the next minute you'd soe that frog whirling in tho air liko a doughnut see him turn one suramersot, tr may bo a couple if he got a good start, and como dowh flat-footed, and all right, liko a cat.

flc got him. up so in the matter of ketch-ing flies, and kept him in practico so constant, that he'd nail a fly every time so far as he could seo him. Smiley said all a fVog wanted was education, and ho could do most anything arid I beliovo him. Why, i'v seen himsotDan'l Webster down hereon the floor Dan'l Webster was thenamo ot tho frogand sing out. "Flics! Dan'l, flics," and quickbr'n you could wink, he'd spring straight up, and snako a fly off tho counter there, and flop down on the floor again as a gob of mud, and full to scratching tho sido of his head with his hind foot ns indifferent us if he hadn't no idoa he'd done any more'n' any frog might do.

You nover see a frog so modest and straight-fot 'ard as ho was, for all he was so giftod wheo it come to fair and-square jumping on a dead level, he could get over moro ground nt oho straddlo than any animal of his breod you ever sco. Jumping on a dead level was his Strong suit, you understand, and when it 'come; to that, Smiley would unto up money to him as long as ho had a red. Smiley was monstrous proud of his irog, and well ho might, bo, for follcrs that had traveled and been every whores all said ho laid over any frog that over they soo. Woll, Smiley kopt tho beast in a little laltico box, aird he used to fetch it down town sometimes and lay for a bet. One day a feller a' stranger in tho camp, ho was como across him wiih his box.

and sayi: "What might it bo that you'vo got in nib And Smjley says, sorter indifferent like, "It might bo a parrot, or it might bo a canary, miiybo, but it ain't It's only just a And the feller took it, and looked at it careful, and turned it round this way nnd that, and so 'tis. Well, what's he good 1 Well," Smiley says, easy and careless, "Ho's good thing I should judge ho can out-jump ary frog in Culavoras county." ho fellor tools tne box again, ana took another long, particular look, and giro it back to Smnoy', an.d says. tin ottff tionvj 't) ii't' ii ,1 very deliberate, Well I don't nm no poinU ubout that frog that'll any but-ter'n any other frog." "May bo you donl," Smiley says, "Muybe you understand frogs, and may be yen don't understand 'em; muy-be you'vo had exporience, and may. bo you ain't only a smature, as it were. Anyways, 1 vp got opinion, and I'll mk forty dollars that ho can out-jumy ary frog In Calavoras county.

And tho feller studied a minuto. nnd then says, kinder sad, like, Well I'm only a strangor terev und I ain't got no frog but if I. had a frog I bet you." And thon Smiley snys, '-That's all right that's all riht-if you'll hold my box a minuto I'll co und cot vou a irog;" and so tho follor took tho box, ana pui up bis lorty dollars along with Smiley and then set down to wait. Ji So he set there a good while think ing ana uunumg-lo. luggell, and ihen he got the irog out and pried -his mourn open ana took a teaspoon and filled bim full of quail-shot filled him preuy near up to his chin and sot him on tho floor.

Smiley he went out to me swamp ana slopped around in tho mud for a Jong time, and finally ho kotch'd a frog and fotched him in and give, him to this fellor nnd says: "Now, if you're ready, set him along-sido of Dan'l, with his ibro-paws just even wiih Dnn'I's, and I'll give tho word. Then ho snys, -ono two thrco and him and the feller touched up the frogs from behind, and tho new frog hoppod off lively, but Dan'l give a heave and hinted up his shoulders so liko a Frenchman, but it wasn't bo nse ho couldn't budge; he was planted as solid as a anvil, and ho couldn't no more stir than if ho was anchored out. Smiloy was a good deal surprised and ho was disgusted too, but ho didn't have no idea what the matter was, of Tho fellor took the money and start ed away, and wbon ho was going out at tho door ho sorter jerked his thumb over his shoulder this wayat Dan'l and Buys again, very deliberate, "Well I don't soo no points about that frotr mat any better than any other Irog. Smiley ho stood scratching his head and looking down at a long nine, nua nt last lie says, do won dor what in the nation- thut fro; throwod off for I wonder if there ain't something tho matter with him; ho pours to look mighty baggy somehow" and ho kctclied Dan'l by tho nap of the neck, nnd lifted him up anu says, by blame my cats it ho don't five nnd tiirnoH him upsido down, nnd ho belched out about it doublo-haudlul of shot; and then ho sco how itwus, and bo was the maddest nran ho set tho froj; down and took put after that fuller, but ho DQver kotchod him. And Hero Simon Wheeler-heard his numo called from the front yard, and got up to go and see what was Wunt- cu.J turning to mo us ho moved away, ho said: "Just sit hero you are, strangor, and rest enty I uin't going to bo gone a second.

It is a well known fact that tho brain of an inebriate contains largo quantities of alcohol and is much harder Ibon that of tho person who docs not uso stimulants. Socing then tlio great affinity this fluid has for ttho brniu and nervous matlor, and tho changes produced in theso fcUucturcs. it is not wonderful that alcoholic drinks should produco Insanity, of which de lirium tremens is out species.

we' liiot will take the proportion of lunatics to JJJtho number of gallons of intoxicating drinkrt In VfiViniiQ nnflrtn I Holland and Belgium where the con- sumption of ardent spirits is t.ro gallons to every individual, thoro is one lunatic to every 2,000 of the people. In Trance where tho consumption is five eallons to each pcrnon. there in ono lunatic to every COO of the inhabitants. In Normandy-where there are 3 end a hall gallons consumed to every inhabitant there is ono lunatic to every 750 of the 'peonlo. In Amori'-n thciv ore three gallons consumed by each individual nnd onr Asylum records show ono lunatic to C50.

In England three gallons aro consumed by each pernon nnd thero is one lunatic to every 800 of the people. In Ireland thero is five gallons consumed to every man woman and child, and they have in that country ono lunatic to every 550 of her citizens. So wo see that the number of cases of Insanity in an country seem to be in proportion to tho number of gallons of intoxicating liquors consumed by its inhabitants slightly varied by other local circum stances. But there is a species of Insanity to w.iic.i i wish io mrcci ynnr attention particularly, and that is Oinomnnia. This kind of 'insanity' exists in every community and in some to an alarming cxtont.

It is tor the cure of this form of disensothatNew York iscrect-inga mammoth Asylum, 'where already the records show hundre-U of applicants from both sexes of all professions, trad os and clashes of society. Tho Ohio State Medical Society bus petitioned tho legislature of this slate to establish an institution at our Citn- i wo sco that not only dues intemper ance stand as tho most prolific cause of crime, nnd the violator of law, filling our poor houses, and private charitable institutes, but also furnishes as many inmates to our Lunatic Asylums as ail other causes combined. Truly this is a monster of fiig'ilful men." l)r Iltilchcson of the Glufrrnw As- sylum thus describes this form of man-1 ia culled Uinoinania. '-Jt is mute dit-1 fcrcnt from drunkenness, which, how ever, lead to it; tlio distinguish in wurk of the disease being the resistible propensity to swallow dim-1 uianls in enormous doses, whenever and wherever they can bo procured. There aro individuals who, at the festive board invariably become cseiled, if not intoxicated, but who aro otherwise habitually sober, and in the course of the year driulc much less than others who never appear to bo under the influenco oi stimulants.

Others ihduk'o in their notations in a regular manner, and daily consume a large quantity of liqaoi1 than is consistent with good health or sobriety. All these, however, possess self control, and can, at any time, refrain from but thoso affected With tho disease cannot do so, however convinced they mn3' bo of tho impropriety of yielding to their pro pensity, however desinous they may foe to subduo it. I repeat that tho disease does not consist in the mere act or habit of becoming intoxicated, but in the irresistible impulse which drives the unhappy being to do that which he knows to bo pernicious and wrong, and which in tho intervals of his paroxysms, he views with loathing and disgust. lie derives ho pleasure from tasto, for ho gulnhs down tho liquor of whatever kind it may be; or from society, for bo generally avoids Bocioty but he only derives a temporary satisfaction from tho gratification of his insaiio impulse. This disease tho Doctor divides into acute, periodic und chronic.

Of this last form of tho diseaso ho savs, "tho patient is inces santly under tho most overwhelming desire fur stimulants. Uo will disregard every iinpodimont, sacrifico comfort and reputation, withstand tlio claims of affection, consign his family to misery and disgrace, and deny himself the common necessaries of life to gratify his irisane proponsitjv In tho morning, morose and tVctful, disgusted with himself, and dissatisfied with all around him, weak and tremulous, incapable of any exertion either of mind or body, his first feeling is 4 desire for stimulants. In all these forms- of the disease the patient is perfectly incapably of self control, ho is impelled by noi oi mo same character, ana oilier Episcopal Church alono, ex-states arc moving in this direction; su of lhe Southern, the Canadian 0 togi-atify hi pcopotiwty.l -the parox.a i on him is he icgardlcwrof hlsAwrA.Kia ti and all thiit cn.oiakty5ifo duttcto him." llowevur rcspouaUilu ho may have been for Winging this: iscase on himself, his responsibility cermet at soon as becomes under the infjuenca of tho malady, and the whole rvspoa 'noimy Is trHnnlcrrcd to the man nhat putctb tho ImiIU to hit noighbor. lip."
