A Remarkable Vision.

A solicitor, resident in the Isle of
Wight, had business at Southampton.
He stayed at one Of those hotels for
which the town of mail steamers is
famous, and after dinner he was look
ing over his law papers while he sip
ped his port. He was aroused from
his foolscap and red tape by the
opening of door. His wife (whom
he had left at home in the Isle of
Wight) entered, gazed at him stead.
fastly, and passed out through the op
posite door. He naturally thought
that it was hallucination and re
sumed his reading with wondering
smile at his own weakness. But
within n quarter Of an hour the same
thing occurred again, and there was
on the countcnance of the spectre an
imploring look which terrified him.
He at once resolved TO return home;
with some difll6ulty got boatman
to take him across; and when he
reached his house, he was struck by
the ghastly alarmed look OF his maid
servant, who opened the door. This
woman was so frightened by his un.
expected return, that she spontane
ously confessed her intention to mur.
der her mistress; and her confession
was confirmed by the fact that she
had concealed knife under her pill.

act on the nervous system of the uni

friend; but here the person who's,
likeness appeared was entirely deyoit
Of apprehension, while the servant
who alone knew what was likely tC
happen, would naturally exert nc
volition towards revealing it.

EXECUTIONS AMONG THE JEws.-The
Hebrews had no executioner. When
a man was guilty of homicide, the exc
cution devolved on the next of kin, by
the right of blood revenge; in othei
cases, criminals were stoned by the
people, the witnesses setting the ex-
ample; and when the king or chief
ordered a person to be put to death,
the Office was performed by the per-
son to whom the order was given, and
this was generally person whose con.
sideration in life bore some proportion
to that of the person to be slain.
Thus Solomon gave the commission to
kill Joab, the commander-in-ch chief, to
Benaiah, ,. person of so much distinc-
ton as to be himself Immediately pro-
noted to the command which the
death of Joab left vacant. In fact, the
office, even of q regular execute ner,
is not by any means dishonorable in
the East. The post of chief execu-
tioner is, in most oriental courts, one
of honor and distinction. Thus, when
there was no regular executioner, it
csme to be considered post of honor
to put a distinguished person to
death; and on the other hand, the
death itself was honorable in proper
ton to the rank of the person by
whom the blow was inflicted It was
the greatest dishonor to perish by the
hands of o woman or slave. We see
this feeling distinctly in the narrative
where the two princes much prefer to
die by Gideon's own hand than that
of a youth who had obtained no per-
sonal distinction. As to the hero
commissioning his son to perform this
office, it was, perhaps, partly to honor
him with the distinction of having
slain two chief enemies of Israel, as
we'll as because the rules of blood-re-
venge made it necessary that the exc
cution of those who had slain his own
brethren should either he performed
by himself or by a member of his own
family. It seems very probable, from
all that transpired, that Orch and Zeeb
had slain the brethren of Gideon, after
they had taken them captive. in the
same way that they were themselves
slain.

LIFE IN JAvA.-A traveller writes
from Batavia, Island of Java:
The Hotel des Indies, at which I am
stopping the main building two story
high, with an immense piazza in front
is connected on each side by build
ings like railroad depots, three or four
hundred feet long. Each suit of
rooms contains room enough to make
two, three, and even half dozen Or
dinary rooms such as we get at the
hotels in the United States. In front
and back are bath houses, fountains,
flower gardens, and out-houses, for
cooking and for servants, marble floor,
tiled roofs, ceiling from twenty to
twenty-five feet high, no carpets, and
but few curtains.
Meals are served up in about the
same style as at the first class hotels
in New York.
The habits of living are quite differ
ent. At daylight, coffee and tea are
taken to your room, at eight, same,
with light refreshments; twelve,
breakfast, and ut seven, dinner. Cof-
fee and tea are always ready, day or
night, same as baths. No extra
charge; take them or not, as you may
choose.
The hotel is situated in the new or
upper town, some half dozen miles
from the water. 1t is q fair specimen
of five or six others, within half a
mile of each other. My hotel and
grounds cover ten acres. The whole
ground, like the rest of the city, is
one immense forest Of trees and
canals.
