The PRE-MILLENNIAL ADVENT CRAZE. -
The little town of Pocasset Massachusetts,, is
excited over shocking tragedy, the result OF
religious frenzy. The town is afflicted with a
society of Second Adventlsts, who for several
weeks had been having revival In the
course of it "A man named Charles +. Freemal
became wrought up such pitch Of religious
frenzy that he conceived the hellsh idea of of
ferlng as sacrifice of child Of his, as Abraham
was ready to offer Isaac, and having got the
notion into his head, was not long without the
necessary vision to lmpcl him to the deed. God
appeared to him in a dream, he says, and com.
manded him to sacrifice his beautiful 5year
old daughter Edith. He placed the child upon
an old wooden table, which was improvised
as an altar, and taking large butcher knife
thrust it into her SIDE near the heart The
child gave one scream and was dead. The
poor wretch, whose wife shared his dclusion,
was confident the child would be brought back
to life in three days, and admitting none to the
house but a few adventists who were as crazy
as himself barred his doors and for over day
kept secluded. Finally however, both he and
his wife were taken in charge by the police
and lodged IN the Barnstablc Jail, while the
child was taken to a neighbours, and on sun.
day afternoon-thc murder had occurred on
Friday-was buried, though against the sol
emn protest Of the advcntists, all of whom
seemed to be in full sympathy with Freeman
and shared his belief that the child would be
restored to life after three days. Freeman
will of course escape punishment on the plea
of insanity, as will probably dozens of the adj
ventists who were advised of his purpose and
are guilty as accessories for not preventing its
execution

wants Sherman elected as popular approval
of his own administration Therefore he is so
anxious to retain the power Of the sword to con
troll the next presidential election.

The DUKE OF HAnLToN's EscAPADEs.
The Duke must have been the hero of
a good many escapades of the ssPrince
Hail. kind. At a restaurant in Paris he
was SO unfortunate as to be compelled to
knock policeman down, whereupon
brother guardians of the peace were un-
der painful necessity of taking His
Grace and friend to the lookup. be-
ieve they were unaware of his rank and
position, and looked more ashamed than
the Duke when they learned their mis-
take. The thing got into the papers,
and the late Felix Whitehurst was in
structed to state that there was no truth
whatever in the report, etc. For all that,
there was good deal. The late Duke,
by the way, was far more unfortunate
than his son in these little affairs,
managing to terminate his priencely ex-
istence by tumbling headlong down the
steps of the Mason Doree.-[ London
