rible scene. I failed to get my things,
and would have given up in despair
and remained all night, as many others
did, but for my young friend. He
went to a door that opened into the
cloak.room, and knocked vigorously.
We heard the key turn, the door was
opened little way, and two eyes peer
ed at us. Seeing in my friend a ven
cradle gentleman, the door-keeper put
his ear to the crack to hear what he
might say. My friend, at this time,
str1ck the ear with his fist, knocking
the man from the door, and then he
nushed in, closing the door sfter him.
"In about twenty minutes the door
was opened again, and he came out,
bearing white overcoat and a strange
looking old, white hat. Take these
he cried. and fly demonstrated, but
he persisted; and so persuaded, 1 put
on the garment and hat and withdrew.
"And now, sir, comes the most extra
ordinary part of my story. 1 had to
ride quite distance in the street car to
nv humble home, and as did so the
stranCest sensations came over me, and
the widest ideas entered my head. I
was sadly discOmpOsed and fretful. A
passenger treading onlmy corn, l told
him he was hundred and fifty pounds
of damned idiot. Another remarking
that the ball was grand success, told
him he was liar. And 1 acted in such
a manner that l escaped personal chas-
tisement only through my aged ap-
pearance.
CARRYING at home refused TO retire.
but called for pen, ink and paper, and
went to writing. l wrote page on page,
about perfection, emancipation, amnes-
ty, and at last fell asleep through utter
exhaustion; and then l dreamed that
the world was coffee mill, and was
grinding it with n crank. On awaken
ing in the morning I acted in such a
strange way, and scOlded and swOre so
much my family thought 1 was crazy.
And this continued until my son, who
is ON the police, because OF his
amiable disposition, took from me the
coat and hat to return them and get my
own. AS soon as these were off I felt
relieved, and gradually subsidized to my
former self. 1 never understood the
thing until 1 read your letter, and
learned that had been wearing Mr..
Horace Greeley's overcoat and old
white hat"
L have given this at length, because
of its interesting and mysterious char
acter. Can it be that the impulses and
mental emotions of a strong nature can
be communicated to the clothes, so as
to affect any one who may chance to
put them on. This seems to be clear
case. leave the inquiry to those
learned SdUGnS, David Quinn and Hon.
William Mungen.
