CASTING OUT DEVILS.

A wealthy farmer, much affected with
hypochondria, came to Langenan to con-
suit Michael Scuppeach, better known by
the appellation of the mountain doctor.
81 have seen devils in my belly" said
he; mo fewer than seven"
There are more than seven,'' replied
the doctor, with the utmost gravity; "if
you count them right you will find
eight"
After questioning the patient concern
ing his case, he promised to cure him in
eight days, during which time he would
every morning rid him of one of his
troublesome inmates, at the rate of louis
dor for each
But" added he, "as the last will be
more obstinate and difficult to expel than
the others, 1 shall expect two louis d'ors
for him"
The farmer agreed to these terms; the
bargain was struck, and the doctor, i'm
pressing upon all present the necessity
ofsecrecy, promised to give the nine louis
d'ors to the poor of the parish. The next
morning the imaginary demoniac was
brought to HIM, and placed near kind
of machine which he had never seen be-
fore, by which means he received an cleo
trio shock. The farmer roared out lust
lily.
There goes onel'' said the doctor,
with the utmost gravity.
Next day the same operation was re-
peated. The farmer beloved as before,
and the doctor coolly remarked:
Another is off,
In this manner he proceeded to the
seventh. When he was preparing to at
tack the last. Scuppeach reminded his
patient that he now had need of all his
courage, for this was the captain of the
gang, who would make more determin-
ed resistance than any of the others. The
shock was at this time so strong as to
extend the demoniac on the floor.
Nov they are all goneT said the doc
tor, and ordered the farmer to be put to
bed
On recovering himself, the latter de-
clared he was completely cured, and paid
the nine louis d'ors with abundance of
thanks, and returned in the best of spir-
its to the village. Credible witnesses at
test this extraordinary cure, which proves
the acuteness of the doctor, as well as the
truth of Solomon's proverb, that with the
fool we must sometimes talk like fool.

The Kansas City Times takes strong
and positive ground in favor ofannexing
Kansas City to Kansas. 1t suggests that
an enabling act of congress would be APP
proved by the legislatures of both states
concerned, and that as Kansas City pays
500, 900 per year tax into the Missouri
state treasury, that the Kansas legislature
could afford to pay Missouri about ST.
100000 compensation for the acquisition
of so valuable a territory.
