STRANGE INSTANCE OF PREsENT1MENT.
"A gentleman who: is temporarily absent
from home and stopping in the city, relates
to us that after retiring to bed night before
last, and before going to sleep, he seemed all
at once to be in a room at home. Every.
thing about the room seemed as real and
tangible as if he were that moment in it. 1t
could not be dream, because he had never
for moment lost his consciousness. Upon
q bed in the room lay his brother. and lean
ing over the bed stood his mother in great
seeming distress. All day yesterday ne
could not Danish the incident from his mind,
and last night came the sequel. He receiv-
ed q letter from home saying that his broth
or had fallen from high window, and ever
since had lain in an unconscious state in the
room which he had so plainly seen the ght
before, and that his mother had scarcely lett
his, bedside. We have this information
from gentleman Of intelligence and a dis
believer iu- -sH spiritual manifestations.

CLASSIFICATION OF FASHIONABLE Wo-
MEN.-A lively correspondent writing from
New York upon the subject of fashionable
women in that city, sub. divides them into
six well,defned varieties. First we have
the woman who wishes to combine fashion
with godliness, and who is always uncertain
which of the two should be paramount.
Grace Church and Fifth avenue are the
termini of the little of this class ain one
she worships, and in the other she is wor-
shipped" neatly observes the dissccting let
ter-writer. The next type is the literary wo-
man of fashion, who makes books-the rarer
and the more ancient the better-hcr hobby,
and who discourses learnedly on authors Of
whom she knows nothing about, or else
knows only through newspapers and maya.
zine criticism "She is sure she would havo
adored Dante or Shakespeare" says our So
cial anatomist sand yet it will be reveal
ed some morning that she is engaged
to Mr.. Simpson Sugarhouse, the wholesale
grocer, and as Mrs. Sugarhouse she will
drop her ahectations and become the mother
of matter-of.fact children" Another variety
of these charming enthusiasts is the musical
wonder of the salons-the young lady who,
from the age Of six, has had Beethoven's
sonta, Mozart's masses, and Gluck's figures
drummed into her. and who renders them
mechanically, and without in the least com
pretending their spirit; who plays pieces Of
her "composition," which are believed to
have been the work Of her old German mu'
| sid master, and who frightens away suitors
by dwelling too persisteutly upon octaves,

CURIOUS TMeRApHIc FAcTs.-In the
working of the telegraph some curious facts
have been observed. A message sent through
land lines and under sea cables, travels
quicker to the place which has the longer land
line than to the shorter From Amsterdam
to London with greater speed than in the
reverse direction; the reason being that on
the English side is a wire OF one hundred
and thirty miles; then a cable of one hun
sdTed and twenty, and on the Dutch side a
cable of thirty mi'es This difference how
YER, can be ractifed by scientific contri-
vance. Another fact arrived at by observa-
tion is, that on wires stretched east and west,
the speed is decreased every day about noon.
The cause we are informed is not clear; but
it is supposed to be due to the diurnal varia-
ton in earth currents. 1t is fact that gut
to percha decays rapidly, and becomes brit
tie and porous when exposed to the light, but
under water appears to undergo no change
whatever. Gutta percha when it is sunk
into the sea for twenty years, shows no sign
of decay, which must be regarded as con.
dition in which nature comes to the aid of
mechanical and electrical science.
Many attempts have been made to devise
tell-tale to show whether a watcher has
gone his round faithfully during the night;
but not many have succeeded. Among the
latest and best is the one now in use in the
Penitentiary, Lausanne, invented by Mr..
Cauderoy, which effects its object by elec-
tricity. A disk Of paper divided into twelve
hours, is setin movement by clock work. A
number Of electric magnets a1e fixed in front
of the disk, and these are connected in the
usual way with buttons or keys placed in
different parts of the building. These but
tons indicate the stations on the watchman's
round, and he is expected to push at each
one as he passes it. The push excites the
electro magnet and releases apricker, which
starts forward and makes q hole in the pa
per disk. This disk may be placed in any
part of the building-in the Inspectors Of
ice or Governors room; consequently, any
neglect or evasion on the part Of the watch
man is Immediately detected
