CLAIRyoYANcE. Among the many won-
ders claimed by clairvoyance or somnambu-
lism is the faculty OF sight without the use
of the organs Of vision. A contributor TO
the Journal of Psychological Medicine DR..
Schwabe), in treating of Modern Supeisti-
ton, observes that we hear of ''times innu-
merable when the axtifce has been per-
formed of reading sealed letters laid upon
the chest. 1t is therefore a cause OF great
wonder that the premium of ten thousand
francs, which the Paris Academy of Science
offered more than forty years ago, has never
yet been claimed, That sum, it is known
was promised to any somnambulst who
will prove herself able to read, before q
committee of the Academy, q sealed
document prepared and laid upon her
chest by the former. AS Istated this pre-
MUM has not been claimed yet, and II
am rightly informed, not a single somnam-
bulist has, within this long time. ever
applied for the opportunity OF submitting
to that examination IN spite OF all public
advertisements. l suppose the somnam-
bulists themselves know best, that it re-
quires some preparation in order to read a
sealed letter with the stomach, and above
Iall, that they must know beforehand the
contents of such letter." II, however, the
matter is susceptible of proof, why is not
the bounty offered by the French Academy
claimed, and the singular magnetic phe-
nomena in question brought into the do
main of well attested scientific facts.

Long he listened to the story
OF the poets Barefoot Boy :"
Listened silently and earnest, -.-s.-
Caring naught for ball nor toy;
And the eyes OF brown grew brovner,
And the cheeks of pink grew red,
And upon his hand he rested
Thoughtfully, mis- curly head.
For awhile he seemed to ponder,
Then he slowly went away.
To dim, unnoticed corner,
Where he sometimes hid in play.
There at tasseled shoe and stocking,
Bravely tagged with all his might;
OF they came, at last, revealing
Dimpled balls OF pink and white.

strayed the little pearly feet,

Rested blushingly and sweet; a

the brush, and the colors are gone. But
he patiently applies them again. They do
not fade away; they strike in, and remain
to shine brilliantly, and the peculiar genius
of the artist is left there for centuries. So

Napoleon in London-A Reminiscence.

A writer in the Louisville Commercial
relates the following bit of narrative:
''In 1S4S Europe was convulsed with in
ternal dissensions and revolutions. The
Bourbon power was trembling in France,
and the nephew of his uncle was loafiDg
in London. haunting localities where he
met men and women of unquestionably
bad character. He watched, undoubtedly
with considerable interest, the progress OF
the Chartist party in London, day by day
growing more bold and troublesome. Per
laps in his dream of royal honors he fore
saw that an experience OF mobs and riots
might be advantageous to him III that fu-
ture of which be never despaired. Hence
he wandered about. an observer OF the ele-
ment which, in 184S, was occasioning the
English government no little uneasiness
and trouble. When, the Chartist party
intention of marching to Hyde Park fifty
thousand strong, rumors of violence and
riot stirred the heart of the great city.
s.The Bank of England, 70. which every
Englishman looked with solemn awe and
respect, was to be attacked and pillaged =
the law was to be trampled under foot II
the demands of the party were not consid-
cred.
"When the day came London surged
and heaved, and the Tory loyalists mus
tered to the defence of law and order
| in great numbers, and became, for the time
being. sworn officers to serve the peace.
"An old gentleman, now an Assistant
Assessor OF Internal Revenue in this city,
was then the head teacher of parochial
school in the hamlet of Radcliffe Stepney,
| in the eastern part of London. His school,
with others, was dismissed for the day.
and q magistrate swore in the teachers
and every man in the neighborhood who
would volunteer. as special constable, to
assist in preserving law and order. :
Scores of volunteers were mustered and or
dered to rendezvous in the school building
of our old friend, who was directed to as
sumo command of the specials. Among
the men under him that day was one Louis
Napoleon, then reputed iounger or loaf
er about London, now the Emperor Of
France. He was well known at the time
and by his dignifed bearing attracted ths
attention of his fellow specials, who were
not acquainted with his person. His dreams
| of future greatness were SO unreal the1
that few regarded him more than the dis
solute, rather worthless, nephew OF th'
great Bonaparte. = Esy u ~ 3. = -si't =.
Fortunately, the services Of the specials
under command OF our friend were not re
quired that day. and at 6 o'clock, when al
possible danger had passed, the trustees

PUBLrc SPgAKIsG.-The candidates for Gov
ernor spoke here last Tuesday, to a very large
audience, moro than could be accommodated in
the cont house. The debate was opened by
Gen. Palmer, who, in a few well chosen words,
made good impression. lie was followed By
Gov. Woods, who spoke Of the political issues
of the day at length. He was followed by Mr..
Grover, whose speech was dull and sluggish
and the speaker labored hard, whether from
lack Of ability or because the principles he adj
vocated were bad, is a question we will not IN
dertake to decide. Excepting on the china and
suffrage questions which are not in issue al thia
time, Mr.. Grover was entirely on the defensive

speakers had him ats an advantage, Mr. Pal
