Power OF IMAGINATIoN-A stri
king instance of the Imagination over
the human organism has just attracted
some attention in Paris. A poor old
matchmaker, Frederic Stiebmann, who
lived in the Rue des Halles, has been
the prey of singular deluslon for the
past few months. He imagined that
his soul had passed from his body into
a peculiar watch which he had invents
ed, and upon which he had worked for
twenty years. ''On the day that my
watch stops" Stiebmann was wont to
say, Il shall die My life has become
subordinated to that of the watch" A
few days ago the watch began to run
irregularly, at first too fast, then too
slow, Il am very ILL.," said the old man,
and he took to his bed. Two days
later the watch stopped. Stiebmann
noticed the unmoving hand, he rose to
a sitting position, uttered cry, and
fell back dead

TRANSMITTING SPRUCE TREES. The
proper time for transplanting young
spruce trees is either in very early Au
tumn, or in Spring, after frosty weather
has ended. Those who have tested the
former season prefer it to any other, be-
lieving that the percentage OF loss is far
less when performed then. 1.-THE young
plants are removed from the woods it is
best to allow ball of earth adhere if
practicable, and partial shade must be
given them for the first year. Late IN
the fall is the worst possible time, as
the roots of newly planted trees have a
desire to begin growth at once, and the
lateness of the season in this case etfec
tually debars them from adding fibres,
and so when spring arrives the speci-
men is not unfrequently dead. For the
better formation of rootlets, mulching
is resorted to, and it viii often preserve
the life of tree that neglect would GER
tainly kill.

EFFECTS OF LIoUoR.-1n the New
ark, New Jersey, Police Court, recent~
", occurred one of those sad scenes of
family drunkenness that preach a better
sermon than the most noted of ora
tors. Before the magistrate appeared a
bright looking youth of seventeen,
Daniel Hedrigel by name, and upon
oath declared that lis father and moths
er, Peter and Catharine Hedrigel, were
habitual drunkards, and that they squan-
dered the earnings Of Daniel and his
brother Charles and the beggings Of
several younger children. Daniel de.
clared he could neither read nor write,
nor even decipher the alphabet; that ev-
cry penny he and his brother earned
was spent for liquor by their parents !;
and the latter were continually intoxi>
Gated, and that the only food that the
family had was what the younger chill
dren brought IN by begging from door
to door and from the relief stme.
Charles took the stand and corrobora~
ted his brother. A warrant was at
once issued for the arrest Of the drunk
en- pair. They were brought into
Court. Their seedy appearance, filthy
garments, bloasted, distorted features,
red eyes, &c, stamped them as rum
drinkers. The boys declared that they
had done their utmost to reclaim their
parents, bnt in vain. They prayed that
they might be placed for season where
they could get no rum. The Court so
ordered, and the wretched couple were
sent to Jail. According to the magis~
trates it was the worst case of rum ruy
nation they have ever witnessed.

In the year of 1910 Mr.. Wilson's
political career began, and during
that year, be made upwards of sixty
speeches in behalf of the election of
Gen. Harrison. During the next
FIVE years be was member of the
Massachusetts Legislature,-tw
years in the Senate, and three years
in the House. His stern opposition
to slavery was here made apparent,
and in 1845, be was selected with the
poet " hittier, to bear to Washington
the great anti slavery petition,
against the annexation of Texas.
Mr.. Wilson was delegate to the
Wing National Convention in 1848,
and on the rejection OF the anti
slavery resolution by that body, he
withdrew from it, and was prominent
in the organization of the Free Soil
party. In 1850, he was again elected
to the State Legislature; and in
1872 was memb Der of the Senate
and President of that body. h
was President of the Free Soil Ma
tional Convention at Pittsburgh, in
1852 and during that year was the
Free Soil candidate for Congress.
In 1851, he was an unsuccessful
candidate for Governor of Massachu-
setts. In 1859, he was a prominent
member of the Massachusetts Con-
stitutiona Convention.
In 1855, Mr.. Wilson was elected to
the United States Senate, to fill a
vacancy created by the resignation
of Hon. Edward Everett.
In that year be took an active
part in the organization of the Re-
publican party. During the next
year his colleague, Mr.. Sumner, was
assaulted in the Senate chamber by
"Bully Brooks" an act which Mr..
Wilson in a noble speech denounced
as '.brutaI, murderous and coward
ly assault" For this rugged charac'
terization Brooks challenged him
under the code duello, but Mr..
Wilson declined to meet the assassin
as it would be u recognition of mis-
equality with gentlemen, and besides,
be was as opposed to that phase of
barbarism-a crime under our laws
as to slavery itself During the re-
naming years of his Senatorial SER
vice he was an active and untlrlng
participant in the great debates OF
those times, making many speeches.
all noted for their accuracy and ex-
haustiveness. In 1861, on the organ
ization of the senate, he was made
chairman of the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs, position that during
the war was full of labor and respon-
sibility. He introduced and carried
through Congress the acts authori-
zing the employment of half million
troops, to increase the regular army,
to roorganize the military system,
and others of great Importance.
Gen. Scott said that during this ex-
ira session Mr.. Wilson performed
more work than all the chairmen of
the military committee for the 20
preceding years. He remained q
leading members of the U, S. Senate
till called by the people to the Vice
Presidency 10 March, 1873. During
the greater portion of his term of
office as Vice President he was an
invalid. Mr.. Wilson was, at the time
Of his death engaged upon valuable
historical work on the slave power
in the United States, two volumes
of which have already been issued.
