"Dreadfulr' 1.-THE monsterm from the
Tribune reporter who had come in to
borrow some news.l When he was dead
the physician determined to try an cleo
trical machine on him, but never having
handled one, called me in to help. I
went. We applied electricity to various
parts of the body, and wherever it was
applied the body moved. At length we
sent current along the spine from end
to end. The fellow was lying on a long
table-as long as-well Cooking around
the roOm) rather longer than any you've
got here. He sat up; opened his eyes
slowly; shut them; then opened them
wide. The physician, who owned the
body, and two young men who were
helping him, started affrighted for the
door.

He didn't lie down again. In half an
hour he spoke-asked where he was and
what we were doing with him. In a
couple of hours he was on his way out

mo. The inhabitants to this day
think that he was dissected.''
Ought he to have been hanged if he
had been caught?'
"Well, there's a difference of opinion
about that. Certainly the physician
owned him-had bought and paid for
him.
Would it have been wrong doctor,
for the physician to kill him, when he
saw him coming to life, and robbIng him
of his property?"
The reporter who asked the question
is one of the most blOOdthirsty persons
in this city. The doctor wisely replied
by saying that the answer belonged to
the department of morals, in which he
was not a professor.

"Not because his neck is disIocated.
The ligatures of the neck are stronger

Yesterday was Ladies' Day at the Lotos Club'
The Committee of Entertainment had In view no

o'clock was tho hour named, and long be-
fore 3 the parlOrs were crowded win
ladies and small proportion of artists
and gentlemen of leisure. Even the steps OF inc

Company SeOn after a message was received from
Madame Marie R6ze, saying she regretted Delhg nn-
able to come at the hour named, but wOuid De
present at o'clock. This hour flew by rather more
icisurely than usual at Lotos reception.
DR.. A. T.. Macdonald stated to the COMPANY on on
behalf of his committee that they had received a9-
surances from the members of the opera company
which fully justified them III making the announce

urged that the committee make no other prcpara-
tions for music, as the ladies of " Her MajeStys
Opera Company" would much prefer to have
the musical field all to themselves. ,
However, the large company OF guests were wen
