following: A well known contributor to

ness enabled him successfully to deceive
his friends and the public. A lady whose
husband occupies high political rank

the subject, and forwarded it here under
injunctions Of the strictest secresy, as
she endeavors to prove that Mr.. King, if
unmolested in retreat which he pro
vided for himself, will in a few weeks
recover his reason. Improbable as this
story seems at first sight, the theory is
supported by some curious facts not gen.
orally known.
