The following particulars wc oct

near the home of tho subject of the

the subject Of religion. Her dcmcnta-

meeting at Union Baptist Church, hear

services very regularly, and seemed
deeply impressed and troubled from
their first commencement. Il short
Whiio beforc tlH meeting closed she
joined the church. Going back home

Ding conduct was noticed by her hus-
band and children, AND they became
terribly excited and wrought up about
IT,. She went rnving about the house
and yard with o bucket of water, bap-
tlsiny everything in her pathway. She
DapGsed her husband and each ono of
her children, and while doing this sang

she had heard but once or twice. AL

ing attention to punctuation points,
etc. She breaches nearly all the while,
and dourintormant says uses the choicest
words and displays great wisdom and
knowledge in tho handling of different
subjects. Although not II Mason, she
knows all the mysteries of that mystc-
rlous craft by heart. DoZcps Of Nlasons
have gone to see her, and they all
come away dumbfoundcd. Her hus-
band has coInc to the conclusion that
she is witch. She has attempted acts
OF violence, but rs yet done no harm.
Flc, with outside assistance, tried at
one time to incarcoratc her in one Of
tho rooms of the house, but the doors
became unmanagcablc and wouldn't
stay locked. She hasn't slept in
eighteen days and nights, and during
that time has taken but few morsels Of

A PEREMproRY PHEsIDENr.-Thc late
Gen. William T.. Barry used to relate
how at Fortress Monroe was fired the
first salute after sundowi, such Dro-
| cccding being contrary to army rcoula-
tions. President Tyler had been fish
in tho bay, and on his way home was
displcased because he was not salutcd
by tho Fortress. The old commander
came down to meet him with deep re-
spcct, but Mr.. Tyler stcrnly asked him
why he had not fired salute to him.
s'ltNcnsc mo, sir" answered the SOL
dicr, "Dut ii is past sundown." "Sun-
down be hanged" rcjoincd Tyler. 81
am C0mnandcr-ir-Ch Chief of tho Army
and Navy Of the United States" Re-
spccttully touching his cap, tho old
commandant withdrew without anoth-
er word, and coming back whore Bar
ry stood, he directed him to get out
the battery and supcrintcnd the salute.
Then nc said in pitiablc, quivering
tones: 81 have been in the army for
years, my boy, and never diso6eycd
the regulations before, and / am forced
to GO 1t now, and tho man who COM
mands 1t is tho President of tho United
Statesl" and with that tho veteran,
who would have gladly faced death
without tlinching, burst into tears.
TIE REv. VosBURGn's DIvoRoE.
Tho fact that the Rev. George b. Vos-
burrgh, OF Jersey City, who was tried
and acquitted n year ago of an attempt
to poison his wife, has obtained di-
vorcc In the courts of Dakota Terri
tory, has already been reported by
telegraph. A letter to tho New York
Hcral1 states that tho divorce was
granted OH the ground of tho infliction
OF "griovons montal suffering" upon
tho plaintiifby the general conduct Of
his wife, who pretended to take poison
whenever his actions displcased her,
and especially by tho criminal charge
she made against him. In his eYi-
dcncc in tho divorce suit the Rev. Vos-
burgli charged DR.. Doremus, who was
called as all expert in the poison trial,
with having himself put in tho poison
which ho analyZed. In granting the
divorce tho court was exceedingly ora
ciousas TO financial torms, merely re-
curing him to pay $3.50 in instalmcnts
OF 700 per year. AS tho Herald OBJ
serves, the trial and its result will re-
vive tho memory of tho Jersey scandal
but not help Mr.. Vosburgh in public
estimation.
