A.rorNpIxa NEsMERIc Pownn.

From the Homewsrd Mail, of India
A curious a 5 of mesmerism is re-
corded by the civil surgeon of Hos
hungabab. A young woman named
Nunnee, aged twenty-four, was mar
ried some twelve years ago; she,
however, did not go to her husbands
house for two years afterward. After
staying with him eight days she sud-
denly became insensible, and remained
50 for two or three days. She was
taken back to her mother, and Don
got well Then follows n remarkable
history. During the next four or
five years she never entered
her husbands house without fall
ing insensible and remaining 50. He
was very kind and attentive to her
she liked him, but whenever he came
into her presence, she at once sank
into this state. This went on till she
became emaciated and exhausted,
and at last her parents applied to the
court for q separate maintenance for
her. While she was in court the
husband entered, and she instantly
became insensible, and was carried to
the hospital, where the case was care
fvlly. attended to by DIR. Cullen,
in March, this year. While
in this state her pulse was even,
breathing soft, her body plant, but
he could eat nothing. Experiments
were carefully made to see if there
was no trick about it. While she
was in bed her husband was mufled
up and made to walk through the
ward. She said she felt he was near
her, and she was by no means well,
but had not seen him anywhere
about. Next day this experiment
was repeated, and she became %insensi-
BILE as before. When the husband
left the place she recovered. The
experiment as to the influence of the
husbands presence was tried in sew
eral ways. He was made to
pass behind her, and to
be near her in a separate ward,
but this had no effect. but whenever
he was brought to look upon her face,
though mufied up, or disguised as a
policeman, a sepoy, and so-forth, she
was at once influenced.
The experiments continued for
about a month, and the conclusion
was that her husband unconsciously
mesmerized her The court came to
the conclusion that it was impossible
that she could live with him, and a
separate allowance was ordered. The
husband vas asked to try if he could
not remove the effect, seeing that he
had the power to cause it, but he was
quite frightened at the idea of having
the power, and could not control it in
any way.

the world Of classic fictitious litera-
ture. With the exception of his i'm
mortal contemporary, Charles Dick.
ems, no modern British novelist was
capable of filling such a large space
in the popular heart. Even the
master pen of "Boz" was incompara-
bly, weaker in treating the characters

THE DIFFERENCE,

Mr.. Gwyer seems to give express,
sion through the ever fussy Buzzer,
that The Republican had nothing to
do with electing his father as State
Senator.
1t cannot be possible that our
worthy representative and president
of our senate ~entertains such senti-
ments as that. He cannot have for
gotten that right in the heat Of the
conflict the Buzzer hauled down the
name of governor Furnas. And in
doing that, it did all that was in its
power to defeat the whole ticket.
Does Mr.. Gwyer suppose that a man
OF our county ticket would have
been elected if The Republican had
taken a similar course? 1t matters
not what opinion a boy may express
through a boys b, but as the son of
his father, it does make a difference.
Republican.
The difference in this instance is
principally the variation between
truth and Acknowledgement wilful
and malignant Misrepresentation and
incontrovertible facts. When the ed
itor of the Republican declares that
the BEE hauled down the name of
Governor Furnas from the head of its
columns he simply penned an unmit-
igated flsehOod. The files of the
BEE in this Office are open to him or
any other person to prove that the
difference between the statement
above quoted is just exactly the same
as was the difference between his
sworn declaratory statement relating
to his iona fde residence upon a GER
tain pre-empted quarter section of
Uncle Sans domain, and the real
facts concerning that notorious trans
action. The truth is, that the BEE,
during the libel suit controversy, de-
manded full and satisfactory expla>
nations Of the Republican candidate
for Governor. 1t never hauled his
name down, ror didit advise its read
ers to vote against him. The rever-

W. are prepared to maintain that
the demand for repeal comes princi-

not from the debtor class. The

to favor the immediate removal Of

cause an immediate and heavy rise in
