OF healing possessed by zouave Of the name
OF Jacob, who, by the mere exercise of his

cures OF paralyz.d persons who for years have

supported by his footman and workman, VIII,
oblig'ngly lent him his arm from his carriage
to the sallc, where he was allowed to take !.
place in the circle of the sick surroundin;.

" Persons were being transported on littcrs
or carried IN mems arms to his presence,
many being SO utterly helpless as to be unnblo
TO sit upright and only able to support them
selves by leaning against each other. A.
soon as the room was full, Jacob entered, and
said; "Lct no one speak until I question
him, or shall 60 away" Perfect silence
cnsued. The Zouave then went from one
sick person to another, telling each exactly
the disease from which he or she was suffer

In later letter the same writer says:
The " Iouave Gucrsscur" is decidedly
the lion Of The day. The Importance attach
cd by the public, as well as by the press, to
the soc distant cures operated by this private
affords striking indication of the temper of
the public appetite in this country towards
supernatural agency. France is a Catholic
nation, and cannot do without miracles, To
many the feats accomplished by the said Zou-
ave appear MS delusiye farce and extrava-

F" II tins Jacob is nero impostor, which
many persons broadly assert, it is ncvertho-

you OF rheumatism, gout, amaurosis, palsy,
