Mesmeric Performances.

Topeka KAN Daily Capital.
An amusing incident occurred yeSter-
dav i'm Justice Searle'S court, during the
trial of the case of DR.. Struggled vs..
Bradshaw Tor professional services. lsa-
iah McClarv, a colOred man, one OF the
witnesses for the defense, was giving his
testimony, and something was said
about meSmeric influences. DIR. String
field thought that now was ms time to
have some fun at the expense oil the
witness. Accordingly he passed by Nc
Clarev without saying or doing anything
to him except simply to place his hand
on the negro's head. In an instant the
witness ceased to speak, set his Jaws,
rolled his ewes and threw his body INTO
violent COntortions.
The court, lawyers, witnesses and
spectators, became alarmed, amused and
excited, at the new departure IN Ju-
dicial proceedings. The Justice sternly
demanded that the witness proceed
which he wanted to do but couldn't,
and the ludiCrOus scene continued.
McClarey was assisted To the floor by a
friend. and lay there making fun for all,
until finally, the Justice commanded
the inStigator OF the mischief To bring
the scene To a close, which was done by
simply catching hold of the witness
hand. Several exhibitions were then
given To prove that it was genuine, after
which the witness proceeded to give ms
testimony. Verify, mesmerism hath ITS
advantages.

The current of recent events has gwen
great impetus to business III Wall street,
and many successful turns are reported
where immense profits are made IN
short periods. The most successful way
that we have heard OF yet for operating
in stocks is by the Combination Method
of Messrs. Lawrence q Co., Bankers,
New York. BY this system thousands
of orders in various sums are pooled lp-
to one vast capital and operated under
the most experienced and skillful man
agement, thus securing to each share
holder superior advantages and profits,
not possible in any other way. Profits
are paid at the end of so days. a gen.
tleman in Boston made S747.3O on an in
vestment of 500. Many others are do
ing as well or better. Capital in any
amount from $40 to Sl00000 can be used
with equal proportionate success by this
Combination or Cooperative Method.
Sl5 would made So, or per cent. on
the stock; 500 would return $500, or 8
per cent. during the month, and so on,
according to the market. The new cir
cular contains 1.-TWO unerring rules for
success" and full information, so that
anyone can operate with profit. Stocks
and bonds wanted. Deposits received.

THE London critics speak very highly
of ballads and songs Of Alexander An
derson, a Scotch railroad labOrer, a man
who after mending roads all day would
come home in the evening and read Pc
trarch, Schiller. Victor Hugo, Dante,
Goethe and Beranger, and write verses.
His strongest poems are those relating
10 his life as surface man or track
member. He writes oithe engine bound
ing along its track:
Yet glory 10 think that help TO keep
His footsteps little in place,
And ne thuudcrS his thanks a. ne ruShes on

About Grapes.

Philadelphia Press, %.
From Vineland letter We gather in
teresting information concerning the
grape culture there. The first shipment
of Concord grapes this season from that
place was made on Monday week. SIX
wears ago the Concord was the great
staple crop of that section, and 1t was
thought To be hardy, productive and
reliable annual bearer; but during the
last four wears these grapes have been
greatly troubled with the lot, becoming
so fatal that it became question with
growers whether or not TO root up their
VINEYARDS. This year an enormous crop
was promised, but the rot, width APP
pears at three stages OF the growth OF
the fruit, began its ravages early; but
lately matters have improved somewhat,
and the grapes will be moderately plen-
" and of good quality. Last year the
Nineland grapes were not only affected
by rot, but with worms, the progeny OF
an insect enemy of the fruit, but tins
season the vineyards have been free
from this pest, and there is no danger
that the consumer will get anything but
sound and well-ripened irult. The out
look for the future is better since grow
ers are now using remedies for proven
ton of the rot. One remedy much III
vogue is to cover the vines with cheap
board or muslin roof; another is to use
manilapaper bags and to place over each
bunch OF grapes just after blossoming.
Strange as il may appear, grapes mus
enclosed in paper bags ripen to periec-
ton. One Nineland fruit-grower has
used $4,000 paper bags in his vineyard
this season, and many others have ex-
perimented with both plans, Only two
varieties of grapes are grown in Vine
land-the Concord and Ives Seeding.
The latter is better for wine than Tor
eating, but is not affected by the rot.

WEST VIRGINIA has as few paupers
as anv state in the Union; this shows
prosperity, and that its people are
thrifty and industrious. The natural
advantages of the State, too, far exceed
the disadvantages. We have room for
more people. and any one otour citizens
should consider long, before departing

To Unmarried Ladies.

The following items of advice to ladies'
remaining in a state oil single blessed
ness. are extracted from the manuscript
of an old dowager:
Ifyou have blue eyes, languish.
II black eyes, affect a spirit.
Ii you have pretty ieet, wear short
petticoats. "
II YOU are the least doubtful as tothat
point, wear them long.
If YOU have good teeth, don't forget to
laugh now and then.
II you have bad ones, you must only
shipper.
While you are young, sit with your
face TO the light. =.
When YOU are little advanced, SIT
with your back to the window.
II YOU have bad voice, speak In
soft tone.
hit is acknowledged that you have
fine voice, never speak in high tone.
Ii you dance well, dance seldom.
II you dance i'll, never dance.
If you sing will, make no puerile ex-
cuse.
Ii YOU sing indifierently, hesitate not
a moment when you are asked, for lew
persons are competent judges OF sing
ing, but every one is sensible OF desire
to please.
III in conversation you think person
wrong, rather hint difference OF opin-
ion, than offer contradiction.
1t is always in your power to make
a friend by smiles; what folly to make
enemies by frowns.
When you have an opportunity to
praise, do it with all your heart.
When you are forced TO blame, do 1t
with reluctance.
II You are envious OF another woman
never show it, but by allowing her ev-
cry good quality and perfection except
those which she really possesses.
Ii YOU wish to let the world know
that YOU are in love with particular
man, treat him with formality and
every one else with ease and freedom.
Ii YOU are disposed to be pettish and
lnsolent, it is better to exercise your Ill
humor on your cat or dog or your SER
want than on Your friend.
Ii you would preserve beauty, rise
early.
If you would preserve esteem, be
gentle.
Ii YOU would obtain power, be conde-
Scending.
Ii YOU would be happy, endeavor to
promote the happiness OF others.
