a singular Fascination.

The Philadelphia .Saaday Dispatch con-
talns an account of woman that was
fascinated by woman, which is noss
remarkable as psychological study. 4
lady was one of the teachers at a school
in little country town, and among her
pupils waa young girl who became 50
attached to her as to be resIlsss when not
near her, and SO marked did this love
become that her parents Withdrew her
from The school, and soon afterwards the
teacher left the place. The glrl was tent
10 another school in distant town, bat
proved so refractory that AT one lime The
principal thought 1t advisable TO send her
home she would not study nor associate
with the other girls, until at last lady
her old teacher-csme TO the town and
applied for a situation as teacher, which
was denied her. Then she established
school of her own, and her occasional
visits to be old pupil were so beneficial
that the girl became sociable and attract
able. The pareuis discovering that their
daughter WAS again under the influence Of
the woman whom by this time they cor
daily hated, Withdrew her from schoUl
and took her home. In the next week
the woman came To the llsge in which
the parents resided and r,ques'ed to be the
child's governess, but was refused, and
another was taken in her place where
upon the girl became SO obstreperous that
she tore up her books and threw them at
the head of the goyerness, who, not liking
such treatment, went her ways. AS no
plausible reason could be urged against
allowing the two tn see each other oc-
casionally, the strange woman Was per-
mitted to visit At The house, until the girls
parents became so jealous of her that they
actually drove her from the town, although
her conduct had been unexceptionable -
Letters were exchanged, and as time pass
ed the strange love seemed 10 increase and
gam entire control of the girls mind. Al
though she had grown into womanhood
she loalhed the company of men, having
numerous lovers nevertheless, Ehe would
have nothing to do with ihem. Her
friend was in a distant town and hardly
able to support herself, and this fact so
preyed on the girls heart that she deter
mined to 90 to her, and she did at last,
although her parents discarded her for il.
The two worked together in puverty, and
whom q. last the elder died. she said TO her
weeping friend: Oh! darling, turn
away your face and let me die!" EIGHT
years have passed since that time, but her
grief yet torments tier E; she sits alone and
mopes all day long Ia her fathers house,
TO which she has been welcomed She
does not seem to be insane, aud physi-
clans think that in time she may recover
from her strange and melancholy plight /;
but her parents knowing her thoroughly,
do not believe that she will ever escape
the strange fascination of the dead

THERE is a story told OF young man
in Baltimore who got into trouble through
his persistent folly III reading the newspa-
pers. 1t seems he saw AN account OF
how lovers in Seville. when they are for
hidden 10 visit their hearts delight, stand
under the young ladle 5 window at night,
and converse with Them through hollow
tin tube made in sections, SO that 1t can
be shut together like spy~Glass, and
used as a cane. This youth in Baltimore
loved a dansel whose father regarded this
loves young dream as an inferior kind of
nightmare which had 10 be shaken of At
all hazards So he refused To permit The
dreamer TO come 10 his house Well,
this infatuated one went right down TO =
tinker and procured abuut forty feet Of
tubing, which closed up into the smallest
possible space. Then he used 10 go round
in the evenings, uureef his speaking
trumpet, and ron It up into the second
story back window, where his angel was,
and roost out on the fence, whispering all
sorts of sweet things all along through
that forty feet of pipe This was all very
nice as far as IL went. But one evening
the eagle~eyed old man came TO the room
door with a pitcher full of bet water in
his hand and sent bis daughter off sud
denly on am errand. Then the despics>
bic old scoundrel called down the pipe in
a falsefto voice until the youth placed his
ear against it and then--but ii was suffi-
cient TO make one side of the young luv>
er's face resemble an underdone tender
loin steak. When his friends ask him
what is the matter he says he has been
downTin the country and has been sum
burned but he is convinced that Spanish
customs, taking them as a whole-ars
abominable ! He thinks, however, that
forcible application to the old gentleman
of the method of walking popularity sup
posed TO ;be in use among the Spanish
people, will be healthful and invigoraring
if the said lover ever comes IN contact
with the said hardened old villain. San

"W hen did you arrive here at Carlisle?'
"At ':20 this morning"

"N hen did you arrive here at Carlise?"
SAT ':20 this morning.
Ihe district attorney gave me trium-
phant wink; and then he stated to the
court that he desired this witness TO be
detained till the close of the trial. The
sheriff was directed to take charge oFhirn.
Mr. Caleb Wye came down from the
stand with his wig in his hand, and took
a seat by the sheriff, looking decidedly
more bilious than had yet seen him ap-
pear
Mr. Peasants was loudly called for by
the defense; but no one came forward
The unexpected reception which the last
witness had met probably chilled the ar
dor of his confederate, and lie wisely
choose to keep himself in the background.
This then was all Of the defense and my
evidence at once blew it to the wind
looked directly at Mr.. Wye $50 called)
while [ was telling the jury when, where
and under what circumstances | had seen
him the previous day, and | saw him
trembe like an aspen leaf. The jury con-
victed the prisoner without leaving their
seats, and the witness was locked up for
further consideration.
] left Carlisle tie next morning and
heard nothing more of this affair for sew
eral weeks. Then letter from the dis
trict attorney, thanking me for the assist
ance had rendered him, conveyed more
details
''The witness Wye" be wrote, ''whose
real name is Nicholas Bray, was indicted
for perjury. a very slight investigation
showed me that we could prove that he
had no right to the name of Wye that
neither lie nor any man by the name Of
peasants eve: kept store in Norcolt, and
that neither Of them were known there at
all. This, with your evidence, would
have been sufficient to convict him ard
understanding 1t as well as anybody, ho
concluded to save trouble and plead gull
ty. So he and Slfer are both in the pen
itentiary, and will stay there for term

A ROMANTIC INCIDENT, showing the
power of an earnest love to overcome the
the most formidable difficulties, is report
ed in the Colorado papers. A Chicago
youth fell in love with a Colorado m aid,
whose father was SO opposed to the pro-
ceedings that he drove the young man
from his house with wrath and revolver.
Upon this the youth had The stern parent
arrested for threatening his life and when
the old gentleman was safely locked up,
bY the iudicious use of ten dollar bill he
induced the same justice Of the peace who
had imprisoned the father to marry him
to the daughter. This done, the old man
was brought up for trial, when he con-
cluded TO swap forgiveness with his enter
prising son-iu>law, who thereupon mag
unanimously withdrew his complaint.

Mn. BENJAMIN +. BUTLER, in his
letter bidding for the governorship Of
Massachusetts, says the position he
seeks is one that may fill the honorable
ambition of any man, and, like every
other object of honorable ambition, is
to be sought by all proper means.
Clay said that the Office should seek the
man, not the man the Office, and to this
rule the philosophical Greeley still holds
fast but the Essex statesman ,repudi.
ates it. He holds that the Office should
be sought for by all proper means ard
whatever may be said in opposition tc
It's soundness, no one can deny that j,
is the rule on which in these days OF
radical domination and conseauen,
decentralization Of the public con.
science, all politicians base thei

The Alton Telegraph asserts that the
Southern Illinois Normal School Com
missioners did not give sufficient public.
ity to the their determination to receive
bids for the work to be done on the
building at Carbonate. We are not
the champions of the commissioners,
but We do not wish to paint the devil
blacker than he is--we are, in other
words, in favor of giving the commits
sioners, as well as the devil, their dues.
The Telegraph is mistaken. The no.
tice was given on the LIST inst, in Chi
cago St Louis, Springfield, and Gin
