A curious incident recently occurred
at Wakefield, Yorkshire, Esgland. The
servant of q clergyman there told him
that some highly respectable looking
people desired permission to see the
house. "What on earth do they want
to see the house for2 There's nothing
whatever to see; but by all means, if
they wish IT," They entered, bowed,
looked around, seemed immensely inter.
ested, and presently he heard something
said as to wondering whether il was much
the same as in Goldsmith's day. They
were, in fact, travelling Americans, who
had imagined that the house was the
scene Of the Vicar Of Wakefield"

There are signs by which he is known,
however, no matter In what society he
mingles. He has the mien of one who
is weary Of the world, and yet, for some
unaccountable reason, is not quite ready
to leave it. There is a peculiarly care
worn expression Of countenance by
which he may be observation-disclosures
thing quite different from the look Of
conscious responsibility which most
married men wear. Around his lips the
resignation Of Prometheus fingers; pre-
mature crows feet gather annually
around his eyes; his cheeks lack the ro-
tundity that happier wedlock confers;
from his shiny scalp the hair has van
ished. He ventures his opinions in a
hesitating style, As though he hoped
they would suit, and would not be the
means Of precipitating broil. He
seems always on the point Of apology
ing for something he may have said,
and when he smiles he does it in such
painful and inexperienced way that
. spectator Is almost moved TO
pity. At regular intervals he
chances nervously at the door Of the
apartment in which he Is seated, rs
though he dreaded the sudden and
wrathful entrance Of the imperial
spouse, to wreak upon him condign
vengeance for some unprecedented
offense. Her clarion voice ever rings
In his ears like knell Of departed
peace. He can never get far enough
away to entirely escape that ominous
sound. She has a tongue that can put
girdle Of fire around him in less than
40 minutes, and he never feels sufficient
ly remote from its terrors. All his PEI
culiarities are those Of an extremely
careful man. At times he has scared
look. Rcticent, gloomy, disconsolate,
patient, he wiggles and sneaks his way
through life like one who has committed
some hideous and objectionable crime.
He knows that he Is pusillanimous-
that cockroach has more courage and
self-estcem than he will ever boast. In
fact, he suffers immeasurably more from
what no thinks Of himself than he does
from all the other miseries he Is called
upon 10 endure.

! second. To me her mental state n more
extraordinary. Her power OF claIrvoyance,
/ or second sight, II marvelously developed.
All places In which she takes any interest are
open 20 her mental vision. Distance imposes
no barriers. No retirement, however se-
cluded, but yields TO her penetrating gaze.
She dictates the contents OF sealed letters
which have never been In her hands with
out the slightest error. She visits the faml-
~ circles Of her relations and acquainl ances
In remote places and describes their attire
and their occupations. She points out any
disorder OF dress, however slight, Us the
basting thread In the sleeve or a back which
10 ordinary sight was concealed by the arm.
Any article which has been mislaid
she sees and tells where II may be found.
She discriminates In darkness the most deli
cate shade OF color with an accuracy that
never errs. She works In embroidery and
wax without patterns. She conceiyes
the most beautiful forms and combi-
nations OF forms. She never studied
botany or took lesson In wax work, and yet
she never mistakes the form OF leaf or dow
er. Leaves with their ribs or veins, their
phylotaxis; flowers, with calyx, corolla,
stamens with their anthers are given with a
most truthful regard 10 nature. Holding
pen or pencil ia her left hand, she writes
with extraordinary rapidly. Her PEN
manship Is handsome and legible. She once

cushions, like the samples sent you, she held
the scissors by the knuckles Of thumb and
fore finger OF the left hand, and bringing
the velvet with thumb and finger Of her right
hand, she cut the leaves as shapely and
without rayel as though they had been cut
with punch. These leaves do NOT differ In
size or form more than leaves growing on
tree or shrub. In the early part OF her sick
ness, she cut more than two thousand such
leaves. In April, 1879, she worked up twen-
ty-five hundred ounces Of worsteds; to De-
cember, 1910, she had written six thousand
five hundred notes and letters. She has kept
an account Of all the expenses Of the family
during her sickness. She keeps q daily
journal, except when In frances or longer
duration than "a hours. In passing into the
new condition, three years ago, OF which
have spoken, she forgot every thing that
had occurred in the previous nine years.
When she was able to speak, she inquired
about matters that occurred al the Begin
ming Of her illness-the nine intervening
years were q perfect blank to her.
But must take leave OF this subject The
incredulous will not accept it--and il Is not
surprising. Miss Fancher Is not 10 be

Miss Harriet Hosmer's Wonderful Dis
coveries- "A Complete Revolution la Mo-
tive Power fredictsd-Iimsstone Turned
into Marble.
From the New York Evening Postl
LONDON, Oct. 26.--Harriet Hosmer i
well known as sculptor Of the highest
rank, but she now comes before the
world in another character, and, il the
testimony Of some Of the best informed
savants Of England is worthy Of trust,
she has placed her name on level with
Fulton and Morse. One of her discov-
cries is of kind which, it is said, will
enable US to dispense with the present
methods Of obtaining power for ma
chinery.
Miss Hosmer arrived in London last
August, bringing with her the model OF
her fastest statue, "The Pompeiian Sem
tinel." In the preparation Of this
model instead Of using the traditional
clay, Miss Hosmer first constructed a
rough shape in plaster Of Paris. This
was handled while soft, and the founda-
ton Of the statue laid. When it had
been brought into general conformity
with the idea existing in the artists
mind, IL was coated to the depth Of
about one inch in white wax. The deli
cate touches of the modeling-knife
were then all applied TO this outer coat
ing, and when The model was completed
II retained its shape, to the finest line
and furrow, without the constant care
that clay model requires. Miss Hos
mer regards this method Of modelling
as far superior TO the old. II gives
much less trouble and can be worked
with far greater ease, besides giving the
effect Of marble instead Of the dull,
gloomy effect Of clay.
"What do you think I've been do

or on conductors stand, and il works

I'm crazy-most every one does at first
but you will change your mind when

road was long and the country through
which he passed was sparsely settled.
He rode six miles without seeing a

 The residence of Judge s. B. Moore in thit village was entered by burglars last Wednes day night. The thieves obtained entrance through pantry window, and before ransack ing the house, began to remove the contents of the larder, taking cold meats, bread, pief and other edibles. One ot them entered the cellar, and while pillaging the refrigerator made peculiar noise which awakened the family who were sleeping overhead. The judge quickly arose to ascertain the cause o1 the noise. He found the outside door open, and caught glimpse of man disappearing through it. Bits of food and unconsumed matches were scattered over the floors, and things about the house were generally disar- ranged, but nothing of value had been taken.
