hcire,s of all his wealth, who could not

store speech to his daughter, should
marry her and eventually be lord Of all
her fathers wealth. Many tried, but
all failed. At last prince who had a
magical gjft, that of causing things in

where the princess was. He spok" to
her, and tried to induce her to speak,
but answer he got none!
Now, a lamp was hanging in the hall
and to it the prince good humoredly ad-

Remarkable PremOnitiOn.

One Of those mysterious cases OF pre-
monitory warning occurred in this city
lately. A young and beautiful married
lady, whose husband was down town
attending "railroad meeting stepped
into neighbor's house to while away
IN hour or so until he returned. While
engaged in knitting II stocking, she was
startled by the sudden dropping OF all
the stitches from one needle, but not
being supcrsttious she proceeded to
gather them up. when looking glass III
the room fell and broke She then felt
that some deadly peril hung over her
husband, and rushed home. The front
door was open; his overcoat hung upon
the floor, and his plug hat was placed
upon the marble bust Of Daniel Webster
in the parlor. With an indeiinable
feeling Of terror she rushed to her room
only to find her warning realized
there he lay on the bed and the ace OF
spades tightly clutched in his hand.
She did not faint, but denied humps
and played club-;round his head
until he promised to give up such
"tricks. - Geuciand Lcader.

GUS agricultural Colleges favoring de-
tail of army officers to teach engineering

OUR brief allusion to the Chancery
Court proceedings yesterday morning in
the Brooks-Fleming case does not suit Mr..
Fleming. He evidently wants the matter
ventilated. The great sin Brooks is guilty
of in the estimation of Fleming is that he
comes from Michigan. So far as we know,
he has always behaved himself like gen.
tleman and has the respect and confidence
Of those who know him. The secret of
the assault upon him is very evident and

forms, has gained possession of charitable
funds appropriated by the State or City of
New York. Thus, out of seventy-three
private charitable institutions, located in
that city, under the control of religious
denominations, receiving public aid to the
aggregate amount of S6SS,OS .ffty:fUe are
Roman Catholic, to which the appropria
