HALLuclNATIoN-A young lady Of
high family in Paris was some time
ago spiritually possessed by the influ.
cnce of a knight Of the old days, under
whose compulsion she rose from her
bed at night and spent long hours in
writing involuntary rhapsodies to her
self Her ghostly admirer wore her
out with bis unreasonable attentions,
compelling her fingers TO sketch his
portrait, the place where he lived, his
grave, and even to draw a picture Of
the wound which let his life out
through his skull. At length the
doctors recommended travel, and the
girl was taken TO Sicily. There the
possession seemed TO leave her until,
one morning, she was found dead on a
mound said by the poasantry TO be
haunted by the ghost of a knight slain
during the catastrophe of the Sicilian
Nospors.

of a husband are wofully detailed in
the history of Alexander Druesdcn, Of
st. Louis, who asks to be divorced
from his wife. If the specifications OF
his case are true there is not a Court

knot. He says that on one occasion
without any provocation, she bit him
on the arm and finger, on another she
bruised his face and blackenod his eye
by striking him with sugar bowl

impliment Of bitterness At another
time, he says, she struck him on the
head with q Ratchet, and ho must
havo had a narrow escape, for the
weapon cut the brim off his hat. Sac
afterwards drew a butcher knife on
him, and often threatened 70 shoot

"the unkindest cut of all' was, as be
alleges, that she endangered his life
by urging his son, boy OF nine years
Of age, 20 take his fathers life by pour
ing hot lead into his ear while he was
asleep; that as an inducement TO mur.
der him, she told his son that by kill.

immediate possession Of two thousand

A few days since an extra train,
loaded with jaekasses, was transported
over the Louisville and New Albany
railroad. The telegraph operator al
Salem, a boy, getting wind of it, set
ahoat rumor that large delegation
of Radicals would pass through at a
certain hour. Rumor, increasing as
it flew, said that many eminent speak
ers were aboard, and that bands OF
music accompanied the expedition.

The expenditures of the national
government last month were s2s, 1885,
900. The average monthly interest
upon the national debt is about sII,-
100000. Add this TO the above sum
of current expeaditures-s2s, 500, 600
and we have near s40,000,000 as the
expenditure that falls upon September.
This sum, multiplied by the number
