PRACTICAL EYORCISM.—About ten days ago all the
population of Brunn, in the Austrian States, were thrown
into commotion by the appearance of the devil in proprid
psrsond, surrounded by gensdarmes with drawn swords.
His Satanic Majesty was, as he is always represented, per-
fectly black. with two enormous horns, goat's ears, a body
covered with hair, horse's legs, and cloven feet; but he
seemed decidedly out of spirits, and it appeared that he was
undergoing the indignity of being conveyed to durance vile.
The old men and women of the place fell on their knees,
and prayed to all the saints to protect them against the ter-
rible Prince of Darkness; but the young men bad the im-
piety to laugh and to scoff at him. Oa inquiry the follow-
ing facts were stated :—A few days before, as a peasant
woman named Hint was lying in bed after having been de-
livered of a child, the devil suddenly leaped through a
window, clanking a chain, and demanded that she should
either give him the child to be carried to the regions below,
or make over to him a sum of one hundred florins in new
silver, which he knew she had collected. The poor woman,
greatly terrified, at once produced the money, and the devil
pocketed it ; after which he went away. The next day the
woman told the parish priest of the visit she bad received,
and added that she bad collected the 100 florins penny by
penny to pay for religious services on her accouchement.
"Did you tell any one that you had the money ?" asked the
priest. "Only the midwife," said she. "Well, tell the
midwife that the devil was mistaken in supposing that you
had only 100 florins, for that you have 50 florins more ; and
say that you are glad he did not compel you to give them
perhaps pay you another visit after that,
