/ would, indeed"
1.-TWO years ago" the doctor added,
81 wrote about this thing in a book
on Spiritualism and nervous derange-
ment, in which | spoke as | have
spoken to you. In addition, / said
this (the doctor got the book and read):
Such is the tendency Of the aver
age human mind to be deceived that
it would be perfectly possible to re-
enact in the city Of New York the
whole tragedy Of Sarah Jacb, should
ever q hysterical girl takeit in herhead
to do so, and there would not be want
ing even ..from among those who might
read this history, individuals who
would credit any monstrous declara-
lions she might make"
THAT sounds like prophecy, don't
it," said the doctor, smiling.
But how do you account for her
second sight her reading a paper that
she don't see; her telling the contents
ola sealed envelope
"She can't do it" said the doctor,
vehemently. "She can do nothing of
the kind. I'll bet $1,000 she can't do
it before me l will write a check for
over $1,000, and if she will tell me the
exact amount, the bank on which it is
drawn, and describe the check gener-
ally, I'll give it to her. Why, l can
read you case after case where these
hysterical girls have deceived thou
sands. Take the matter of visions.
This girl in Brooklyn is a Protestant,
so she confines her visions to seeing
heaven and her dead freiends. Were
she a Catholic she'd see the Virgin
Mary or the Savior, like that girl at
Lourdes, who sees the Virgin, and
who actually has been the means of
having a church built on the spot
where the visions appear, You have
seen accounts of the excitement she
has created. Why, she is simply a
cataleptic. | have myself had under
my immediate charge fifty girls and
women who in the condition of &c
stasy have had visions of all sorts-all
the way from God himself down to
the schoolmistress who had locked
them up in dark closets. | tell you
that those people in Brooklyn are Of
two classes-those who lie and those
who are deceived. Mind you, l dc

Hysteria prompts deception, 1t is q
Characteristic Of the disease. She has
probably not will enough to overcome
the desire to deceive. But she woulC
be aided in every way to overcome the
desire, not assisted in her receptions
For all this is simply the deception O
a historical girl"

OUR EXHIBIT AT PARIS.
What was Thought Of Tennessee Agri.
cultural Display.

Paris Cor. New Yerk Graphic.l
All is over, but there remain some
things yet to be said respecting the
success of our American exhibitors at
this latest and, all things considered,
the most interesting of our interna-
tional exhibitions.
The disinterestedan self-sacrifcing
spirit displayed by some of our Amer
lean citizens in connection with the
Paris Exposition is worthy of high
praise. The legislature Of the State
Of Tennessee, at its last session, failed
to vote an appropriation for the pur-
pose Of making an exhibit at Paris Of
the agricultural and mineral wealth of
the State, although the cost Of such
an exhibit would have been repaid a
hundred fold by the increased impetus
which it would give immigration to
the State. Mr.. j. B. Killebrew, the
State commissioner Of the bureau Of
agriculture, statistics and mines, re-
solved that the State should not be
deprived of the advantages which
might be derived from such an exposi-
ton, and he himself undertook the
task. The result is that the State of
Tennessee figures here in the most
croditable manner Her luxuriant
and magnificent agricultural products
are exhibited in splendid style, and
her importance as a wOol-growing
State is shown by the fine displays Of
wool by Messrs. Crutchfeld q Cock.
rill. So, also, with the display of the
evidences Of her mineral wealth. The
people of Tennessee have been placed
under great and lasting obligations "a
Mr.. Killebrew andto the other public
spirited citizens who c~o-operated with
him. With her immense resources
yet untouched, $4,000 would have
been judiciously expended in makina
a grand display Of her varied products
and in sending a commissioner along
To take oharge Of them.

The Queen of the Lobby.

Washington Letter to the Boston Journal.
When we left Philadelphia in the
early morning | noticed among the
passengers who had Joined us there a
lady who had for some years past been
known here in Washington as The
Queen of the Lobby" Age adds to
her personal charms, and | could but
notice her, as she sat gracefully yet
proudly as a throned sovereign, glanc-
ing over the newspapers with her keen
gray eyes, and a purpose marked in
each line of her handsome face. OF
course she was exquisitely attired, for
the soldier of fortune, of either sex,
must wear a gay, untarnished uniform,
although the pockets may be empty.
At Baltimore every feature softened
as a Western congressman came into
the car, and she gave him a joyous
greeting. Before we had left the
Monumental City the rural Represent
tative, fresh from the Lares and
Penates, had marched into the little
parlor, and when at the Relay House
the fair Spider opened her lunch bas-
ket, pertaining the car with the odor
of old Bourbon, it was evident that
the Honorable Jefferson Caucusmann
would vote for the Oregon and Alaska
steamship subsidy, the South Arizona
elevated railroad grant, and the other
jobs which have retained The
Queen" The session is to be short,
and there is no time to be lost. Here
was an early worm who was acct
d~entally caught by a pretty bird be-
fore he could reach the metropolis.
