A Moman,s Device.

A few years ago, says an English
paper, when highway -robberies were
more frequent than at present, the pas
sengers of stage coach, on its way TO
town, began to talk about robbers. One
gentleman, expressing much anxiety lest
he should lose ten guineas, was advised
by lady who sat next to him, to take it
from his pocket and slip it into his boot,
which he did Immediately. 1t was not
long before the coach was stopped by
highwayman, who, riding up to the win
dow on the lady's side, demanded her
money; she declared that she had none.
bat if he would examine the gentleman's
boot he would find ten guineas. The
gentleman submitted patiently, but
when the robber departed he loaded his
female travelling companion with abuse,
declaring her to be in confederacy with
the highwayman. She confessed that
appearances were against her, but said
if the company in the stage would sup
with her the following evening in town
she would explain conduct which APP
peared so mysterious. After some de-
bate, they all accepted her invitation;
and the next evening in calling on her,
were ushered into "A magnificent room,
where very elegant supper was pre-
pared. When this was over, she pro-
duced a pocket-book, and. addressing the
gentleman who had been robbed, said,
In this book, sir, are bank notes to the
amount of $1,000. 1 thought it better
for you to lose ten guineas than me this

Didn't Know How.

In town near Boston there lives n
good lady who suffers acutely from sci
atica. She has consulted physicians far
and near, but has been unsuccessful in
finding any cure. Not long since she
heard that man living not far away was
afflicted with the same disease in an ag-
gravating form, and it occurred to her
that she would call upon him and ask
whether he had found anything that
would avail to lessen its terrors. She
did so, and, having introduced herself,
stated her GRAND.
"Do you," she asked, "find anything
that affords you relief?"
"Yes, marm," he replied. Two
things"
"Pray what are they?"
"Cursing and swearing" said the in
valid.
1t is added that on her return home
the good lady told her husband that she
only regretted that she could not avail
herself of this remedy.

scruples," she said, but L don't know

A Life.Struggle with a Maniac.

On Saturday last rather finely
dressed and well-appearing man landed
at Fair Point, Chautauqua lake, and en-
gagged board for fortnight at the Pal
ace Hotel There was nothing unnat-
ural in his appearance, nor did it seem
Mt all remarkable when he attended
church on Sunday morning and bowed
in fervent prayer near the altar. People,
noting his conspicuous position, looked
with admiring wonder on the man who,
regardless of the scrutinizing vision of
the whole congregation, manifested his
religious zeal in the most emphatic man
ner. On Monday morning the stranger
strolled out near the lake, and there
met Mr.. George Irwin, somewhat noted
duck-hunter, who had just come in with
his dog and gun. The stranger affably
greeted Mr.. Irwin, and asked to be
allowed to examine his gun. Mr.. Irwin
unsuspectingly handed over the weapon,
when the stranger carefully examined it,
then cooked it, and, holding it toward
Mr.. Irwin, asked him how he would
rather die-would he prefer being
drowned to being shot? Mr.. Irwin, re-
garding the question as joke, replied
that, if it was necessary to die right
there and then, he preferred taking a
turn in the water 1t was then that the
strangers eyes glared with maniacal
frenzy, and, dashing the gun upon the
sand, he grappled with the now-terrified
Irwin. The struggle was a desperate
one. The maniac was powerful man,
and, with an iron grip, dragged the
sportsman to the waters edge, when the
struggle for life and death became even
more desperate. Finally, they both went
into the water, and, while foundering
there, some men who stood at short
distance ran to the rescue and were
scarcely able to release the victim from
the maniac's clutch. His clothes were
nearly all torn from his body, and he
was terribly bruised by the brief and
fearful encounter Just about this time
a small steamer came to the dock. 1t
required four strong men to put the
maniac Oh board. He was taken to
Mayville and lodged in Jail. He per-
sistently refused to give his name, de-
claring as reason for his conduct that
il was necessary to sacrifice some life to
the conservation of the Sunday-school
ground at that place; that he had been
chosen as the instrument of death. He
seemed to talk sanely about the matter
and regarded Mr.. Irwin as an unappre-
ciative man, because, as he said, it was
clearly in his power to shoot Irwin upon
the SPOT. whereas he had given him his
choice of death, and when about &c
Weld his preference four worldly friends
appeared upon the scene and inter
fered.-Erie (Pd.) Dispatch.

POstal-Card Troubles.

Postal cards often give rise to peculiar
troubles. A Rochester lumber dealer
mailed one to discharged clerk, accus-
ing him of swindling, and the clerk has
obtained a verdict of $3.50 damages,
based on the publicity of the charges
while passing through the mails. A
similar charge is on trial at Pittsburgh,
the plaintiff being sewing-machine
agent, to whom his employer addressed
an accusation of improperly retaining
money. An Omaha clergyman pub
fishes card that he frequently receives
advertisements of wines and other
liquors printed on postal cards, which
is likely to create a false impression on
the minds of the people.

HallucinatiOns.

One does not fail to notice, when
proper attention is given to the subject,
fact which is full of meaning, VIZ,
that the apparitions which have been
seen at different ages were in harmony
with the dominant ideas or beliefs of
the age. 1t is not probable that any
one could be found at the present day
TO affirm that he had seen an old woman
riding through the air on broomstick
to witch's meeting, because the belief
in witchcraft is happily well-nigh ex-
tinct; but 200 or 300 years ago, when it
would have been thought something
like blasphemy to doubt the being and
doings of witches, persons of character
and veracity might have been found to
avouch it solemnly. In like manner,
apparitions of Satan were not very I'M
common in the Middle Ages to persons,
who, like Luther, were in earnest spirit
ual conflict with him, but there is no in
stance on record, so far as | know. of
such an apparition having ever been
seen by an ancient Greek or Roman.
The Satan of the Middle Ages who gave
Luthur so much trouble had not then

which would be found on examination

might be prudent, before doing that, to
consult the article on apparitions in the
latest edition of the Encyclopedia Brit
annica," lest perchance L should be out

there discovered, to my no small sur
prise, that it is still an open question
whether invisible inhabitants of the un-
known world did not take human or
other shapes and become visible to men.

to the opinion that they do, and that
there is more in the matter than science
has yet dreamed of. So, also, think the
