A Spirit Child.
New York Letter to the St Louis Republican.

New York Letter TO the st Louis Republican
There's school-marm down East, who
has phantom scholar, you've all heard
about But Southern lady was in this
city last week who has spirit baby
Four months ago she lost child of five
months. She is a delicate, fragile crea-
ture, and the loss of her baby nearly
killed her. -Four days after the little
creatures death, and just at dusk, she
became aware of something pulling at
her dress and there was her little baby
back upon her bosom. From that time
to this the baby comes back to be nursed
as the evening shadows fall. She cam
not see it, but she feels its little hands
padding about, as baby's will, and
those around her can see her dress dis
arranged, her collar pulled, and the in
dentations on her bosom made by the in
visible fingers of the spirit baby. Her
physician is staggered There is no al
teration i'll her physical condition every
thing goes on as if she was nourishing
living child. The lady is not spirit
ualist, is excessively refined and aristo-
cratic, and she shrinks from making the
phenomenon public, but every night she
cradles in her armes her intangible baby.
She feels its unseen mouth warm against
her, and she bends with bitter tears
above the invisible little visitor. Itisnot
a desirable possession and should adj
wise her to wean it as soon as possible.

A Prophecy about the steamer Allan.
tic.

The Boston Times relates the following
incident Of the lost Atlantic: When about
mid-ocean. a curious incident occurred,
which if true, as related to our reporter.
is very unaccountable The steeraae
passengers say that at about that point
on the voyage two or th,ee.of the passen
gers declared, as if gifted with the spirit Of
prophecy, that the ship and all on board
would be lost. They kept repeating the
prediction, packed their carpet-bags and
went on deck to watch for q lance to meet
passing vessel, saying that they were go
ing to leave her, as they were sure she was
doomed to destruction. The captain then
interviewed, and locked them up as mad
men, and when the prediction they had
made in their supposed insanity received
its fui6llment, they, it is said, persihed in
confinement.

Iceland is more interesting physically

are among the most celebrated in theworid
The famous eruption OF nit Hecla, in 1865,
commenced by the appearan,e ola column
of black sand slowly rising, aud accom-
panied by subterraneau thunders. Then
a ooronet of fame played around the era

of the Orkney Ielands were terrified by

IT is well known to the trade that the
body of the green coloring matter used in
painting wall paper is nothing but arsenic
Then, too, it ia impossible to fasten allithe
color to the paper so that the action of the
atmosphere, following the moistening
process which all paper is subjected to 10
the operation ofhanqing, will not loosen
considerable quantities Of the color from
the paper. The bad effects of green poper
depend on the amount of color used, the
quality Of the paper, and the room upon
the walls of which it is hung A small fig
ure will do no harm on any room nor will
very bad effects be experienced from lib
eral use of green on paper of good quality,
if it is placed on the walls of other than
sleeping rooms. But under no cifcum-
stances should wallpaper covered with
green figures be used in bed-chambers. -

twelve to fifteen wide in the broadcast

of cieders hung over the island for year
According TO the best estimates, nine
thousand persons and two hundred
thousand cattle persisted during this

The ground around the geysersis honey
combed with holes. Not blade of grass
grows upon the hot, infamed surface of

sllicious basin seventy-two feet in dame

bottom like stationary wash-bowl. This
is brimful of simmering water, from which
rises high column ofvapor. The geys-
er is often inactive, and the traveller
many have TO wait many days before
seeing more than this. An eruption is
announced by loud underground noise.
The center Of the pool beeomes..violently

columns, wreathed with vapor, springs in

of the eruption. The water gradually
loses its ascending force, falters, droops,

FEVER AND AGUE.-During the present
month, Fever and ague, the scourge of our
rich bottom lands, issues forth. The i'm
mediate cause of this malady, is probably
the moist exhalations that arise from de-
composing vegetable substances. But
there are also secondary aud predisposing
causes. Damp, cold weather is prevalent
at this season-not, indeed, so intensely
cold as in winter, but more chilling and
more depressing, owing to the larger
amount of aqueous vapour in the atmos-
phere The effect of such weather is to
reduce the measure Of vital force. and thus
to render the system more liable to sue
cumb to disease. But, as all have noticed
there are some who pass season after seas
on in such regions, in perfect health. This
is due to their own vitality; and this, again
results from sound digestion but a
good tonic, ike DIR. Gottheb Fisch's Bit
ers, strengthens digestion directly, and
thus, in an indirect manner, secures i'm.
munity from all attacks of malarial dis
