An instance OF the renewal in sleep of an
impression In memory calling up an appari-
tion to enforce IL Ot is the impression which
causes tie apparltion, not the apparlton
which conveys the lmpresslon) occurred near
Bath half century ago, and is related by
Miss Cobbe ln an article on "Unconsclous
Cerebraton," in the last number of Mac
millan's Magazine. Sir John Miller, a very
wealthy gentleman, died leaving no children.
Bis widow bad always understood that she
was TO have the use OF his house tor her life,
with very large jointure; but no will MAX
ing such provision could be found alter his
death. The heir-at-law, distant connexion,
naturally claimed his rights, but kindly
allowed Lady Miller to remain for six
months In the house to complete her search
for the missing papers. The six months
drew at last 10 a close, and the poor widow
had spent trutless days and weeks In ex-
amining every possible place OF deposit Tor
the lost document, till at last she came 10
the conclusion that her memory must have
deceived her, and that her husband had
made no such promise as she supposed, or
had neglected 10 fulfil 1t had he made
one.
The very last day OF her tenure ol the
house had Just dawned, when In the gray OF
the morning, Lady Miller drove up to the
door of her man Of business in Bath, and
rushed excitedlY the bed room door, calling
out, Come to me have seen Sir John.
There Is will r. The lawyer hastened to
accompanf ner back to her house. All she
could tell him was that her deceased hus-
band had appeared to her in the night, stand,
ing by her bedside, and had said solemnly-
"TheIe is a win ~ Where 1t was remained
as uncertain as before. Once more the house
was searched in vain from cellar TO lott, till
finally wearied ant In despair the lady and
her friend found themselves in garret at
the top of the house. "It Is all over" Lady
Miller said; ~ give 1t up; my husband de-
ceived me and am ruInedp' AT that moment
sue looked at the table over which she was
leaning weeping "This table was in his
study once. Let US examine IT," They
looked, and the missing will, duly signed
aud sealed, was within 1t, and the widow
was rich TO the end of her days. 1t needs
no conjuror 10 explain how her anxiety
called up the myth OF Sir John Niller's
apparilion, and made him say precisely
what be had once before really said to her,
but of which the memory had waxed
faint.

Election .'Pasters,"

Among the candidates for office at the late
California election was one who was very
anxious. On the day beloie election several
acquaintances suggesled that he must pro-
cure pastors.
you can never win, old fellow, unless
you get paslers," said they. "You need a
great number, too, for everybody will
scratch in your iayor."
The suggestion was pleasant; the eandi-
date counted his cash capital which lay in
his right hand pantaloon pocket. Afterwards
he alked 10 prinung-house, and ordered
the printing OF 10000 copies bearing his
name.
"fou Will have them gummed and cut, of
course ?" said the piiuttr man.
"No, think not. I'll do that myself"
replied the candidate.
obviously did the rlnter man look al
him, but as the cash was paid in advance,
he said nothing.
The pIinung was not done until tier nine
o'clock at night, aud the candidate, who bad
been walking up and down the hatchway,
marched triumphautly towards home with

A New ARTICLE OF DIET A country
man offered two rats for sale in the market
Yesterday. The clerk Of tue market, bearing
of the fact, went TO the man and asked the
man if he really designed TO sell the rats.
He replied that he did; and, to prove ttat he
meant what he said, he offered them and the
trap in which they were caught u the clerk
for one dollar. The official, not relishing
diet, albeit the rats were large and fat, re-
monstrated with the rustic lor bringing this
Chinese delcacy to our market, where.
upon the gentleman from the rural regions
threatened 10 have the clerk arrested for
interfering with bis business. The clerk
turned the tables on him by having him ar
rested and taking him before the Mayor,
who lectured the rat-seller on the impropri.

A rare relic has been sent to Bologna, in
Italy, by Prince Piompinb, an Italian noble
man, which is TO be placed on public exhibit
tion ct the international congress of arch@lo-
gists which is shortly to meet in that city.
This relic is the skeleton ofa peiIified man
which has long been in possession of the
Princes family. The historical origin ofthls
skeleton is unknown; 1t is known that 1t was
sent as a gift to Pope Gregory XIV, who was
elected Pope in tue year 1922; but the Princes
family assert their knowlege Of the fact, ac-
cording TO the family traditions, that this pre-
cious gift was brought 10 Rome aud presented
10 Pope Gregory XIV by Japanese depuia-
tion. During the days of this Pontf the
skeleton was exposed to public inspection;
but 1t was somewhat mutlated al this time
by sightseers. From that time forth the chest
containing the skeleton was hermeticallY
sealed. The interior Of the chest was lined
with velvet, while the outside was covered
with skin, gllded clasps, and with the Papll
arms engraved upon tue key,cover. Since
that time the skeleton has never been shown
to the public, having been kept uader lock
and key in the chest, and Its exhibition al
Bologna will doubtless attract ali tue atten-
tion that this verilabe "stono man" de-
serves.

Jim BluIs0 Heard From.


We have always entertained serious doubt,
says the st. Louis Republican, of the cor
rectness of Col. John Hays Jim Bludso and
Prairie Belle story. Now VIC have proof
positive that the said Jim, instead OF "hold-
ing the nozzle to the bank, ''skcdsddled,
probably to his wife at ''Natchez under the
hill." And it is further credibly asserted
that he was the first 'galoot" ashore him
self. The whole story is fabrication.
Listen to what an Arkansas River CORE
spondent says:
II hasten TO inform you of very int
portant event. Jim Budso, whose spirit it
is said, went up the night Of the Prairie
Belle, is alive, and at present employed as
engineer of the snag -boatin this river. The
Natchez wife is with him, and learn the
whole thing was set-up job to get shut OF
the Pike County wife. When everybody
ON the Prairie Belle supposed Jim was hold
ing her nozzle to the shore, he was quietly
sliding out on plank on the starboard side.
| In fact, he was the nrst galoot ashore, max
ing tracks for Natchcz. If John Hay OF
any other man wants to take their chance
at judgment with him, am sure they will
have no use for winter clothing after that
date, for which hold myself personally re-
sponsiblc." ;. VIZ
