How w. III. KEMBLE SHOULD BE
DEALT wITH-W. H. Kemble and his
associates, under conviction for bri-
berry by their own confession, have
anticipated their sentence, which must
by law include fine and Imprisonment,
by filing an application for pardon with
the Pardoning Board. The Pennsyl-
vania law requires public notice and a
certain period after an application is
filed with the Board before it can be
granted. Kemble's precipitate haste
is taken to prevent the possibility that
bank president, former State officer,
and a present prominent powerful Re-
publican politician, should have his
head shaved and wear stripes, before
the legal formalities of pardon can be
taken 1t unfortunately appears prob
able that he will succeed. His plea
of guilty, with that of his associates,
seems to have been given under an un-
derstanding that fine only would be
exacted Such a result is little less
disgraceful than an acquittal would
have been. To Pennsylvania pol
itician, callous to the disgrace honora-
BILE men would feel at selfconfessed
conviction, fine is mere incident in
the POLITICAL game, not punishment.
Bare conviction for ''log-rolling," an
offence prevalent everywhere, is some
thing, it is perhaps all that could be
obtained: but bargain and sale with a
powerful sinner over the extent of his
punishment robs it of moral weight.
Republican Pennsylvania ought to be
able to deal as sharply with Kemble
as New York dealt with Tweed. He
ought to be put to winding cotton yarn
with Morton, the Philadelphia de-
faulter, in the penitentiary.-Spring-
field Republican.

THE AWFUL COMBAT OF Two MEN
WITH DRovEs OF RATs.-A remarka-
BILE and perhaps unprecedented combat
took place at Bostick's mill, near this
place, this morning. 1t seems that
General Bestick and one of his EN-.
ployes, Anderson Wayless, went into
a courthouse which had been stored
with corn for nearly twelve months,
and which has been closed for that
length of time. After getting in they
found the place was literally alive with
rats, which began to attack fiercely
the two men, who in vain attempted
to beat them off The rats came upon
them in droves, biting them about the
hands, face and legs, several actually
getting under Wayless' shirt Both
men cried for help, and were rescued
from their perious situation. The
whole of General Bostick's left eaI
was eaten off and his face horribly
bitten. Wayless' nose and lips were
so badly bitten that his best friends
could not recognize him, and his left
eve was torn from its socket.-BoSton
Post.

AN ORIENTAL MEsMER1zER.-Queer

stories come from India of these feats
performed by a native mesmerizer
named BUM, whose magnetic power
would appear to be found quite ire
sistible by the lower animals, upon
he exclusively exerts it. He gives
seances, to which the public are invited
to bring all manner of ferocieus and
untamable wild beasts, and holds them
with his glittering eye. In few Sec
onds they subside into condition of
cataleptic stiffness, from which they
can only be revived by certain passes
which he solemny executes with his
right hand. A snake in state of viru-
lent irritation was brought to Buni by
menagerie proprietor, enclosed in a
wooden cage. When deposited on the
platform it was writhing and Kissing
fercely. Buni bent over the cage and
fixed his eye on the occupant, gently
waving his hand over the serpent's
restless head. In less than minute
the snake stretched itself out, stiffened,
and laying apparently dead BUM took
it up and thrust several needles into
it's body, but it gave no sign of life. A
few passes then restored it to its
former angry activity. Subsequently
savage dog, held in leash by its
owner, was brought in, and, at Buni's
command, let loose upon him. AS it
was rushing toward him, bristling with
fury, he raised his hand, and in a Sec
ond the fierce brute dropped upon its
belly as though stricken by lightning.
1t seemed absolutely paralyzed by
some unknown agency, and was un-
able to move a muscle until released
from the magnetizer's spell by a majes-
tic wave of his hand.

nothing to change my opinion of him.
1t seems to me that in the matter of in

sham. | admit his industry, of
course; he is the working crea-
.ure in the world-when anybody is

A Dreamer's Senses.

II a strong light be held before the
sieeper's eyes he is almost sure to
awake, bat at the very moment he may
have dream of some tremendous fire,
perhaps that his house is in flames.
The ear of the dreamer is generally
on the alert, and proves q gong to the
mysterious spirit TO make its airy
rounds. To some sleepers the sound
of flute fills the air with music, or
they dream OF delightful concert. A
loud noise viii produce terrific thun-
der and crashings uuutterable. and at
the same time awake the sieeper. Ac-
cording to DIR. Abercrombie, a gentle
man who had been soldier dreamed
that he heard signal gun. saw the pro-
ceedings for displaying the signals,
heard the hustle of the streets, the as
sembling of troops, etc. just then he
was reused by his wife who had
dreamed precisely the same dream.
with this addition, that she saw the en-
envy land, and friend of her hus-
band killed; and she awoke in fright.
This occurred at Edinburgh at the
time when n French invasion was
feared. and il had been decided to tire
a signal-gun al the first approach of the
foe. This dream was caused, il APP
pears, by the fall of pair of tongs in

the room above. and the excited state
of the public mind was quite sufficient
to account for both dreams turning on
the same subject An old lady, friend
of the writer, relates a similar dream
which occurred to her just before the
battle of Waterloo. when the fear OF
an invasion by Napoleon was at its
height. She heard the march Of troops
in the streets, and the screams OF the
populace. They broke into her own
house, ransacked it, and pursued her
with bayonet. Shey fell on the
floor and pretended to be dead. After
sundry thrusts. which seemed to her
..roving spirit" to be quite innocuous,
the soldiers remarked that she was
~done for" They departed. and she
escaped to consciousness. This dream
was no doubt caused in the first in
stance by noise in the house or street,
and the painless bayonet thrusts by
some slight irritation, such as hair
pin or other adjunct to dress. Whis-
pering in a sleeper's ear will often pro-
duce dream; and there are cases on
record in which people who sleep with
their ears open have been led through
dreadful aoonies at the will of their
wakeful tormentors. The vivid de-
scription given of a young officer so
treated by his comrades is both interest
ing and suggestive. In changing our
position, as we constantly do in sleep,
we touch the bedclothes, etc, perhaps
the nose gets tickled or the sole of the
foot, and dreams painful or pleasant
are the consequence. These may seem
trivial causes, but it must be remem-
bered that the mind is ready TO fly into
the realms of fancy at the slightest in
timation. People have often dreamed
of spending the severest winters in 81
IBERIA, and of joining the expeditions to
the North Pole, simply because the bed
clothes have been thrown off during
sleep. 1t is said that moderate heat
applied to the soles Of the feet will gen.
crate dreams of volcanoes. burning
Goals. etc. DIR. Gregory dreamed of
walking up the crater of Mount Etna,
and that he felt the earth warm under
his feet. He had placed hot-water
bottle at his feet on going to bed. The
memory of visit he had once paid to
Mount yesuvius supplied the mental
picture. Persons suffering from tooth
ache imagine that the operator is tug
ging at the faulty tooth, and somehow
cannot extract it; or, as in DIR. GRECO
rvs case. he draws out the wrong one,
and leaves the aching tooth in statu
quo. A blister applied to the head is
highly suggestive of being scalped by
Indians. especially if Mayne Reid
ghastly details are at all fresh in the
memory.-Te'apie Bar.

Pulaue-The Mexican National Drink.

In a letter from Mexico to the New
York San, the writer says: This liquid
il distilled from the maguey plant. 1t
has a disagreeable smell and taste, but
no description csn possibly convey an
adequate idea of It's hurtful effects upon
the prosperity Of the country. In the
first place, the most fertile and pro-
ductive Lands of the upper plain of Mex
leo are altogether given up to the pro-
duction of the maguey plant. When it
Is remembered that a maguey takes
often ten years 10 come to perfection,
and that very little attention IS required
in the mean time. it will be evident that
the employment this species of agri-
culture gives TO the laborlng class is far
below that required for the cultivation
of any kind of grain. Yet it is by this
very class Of persons that pulque is
most drunk, and consequently the reals
of the working man find their way into
the pockets of the rich owners of
haciendds who spend their profits in
Paris or Brussels. while the working
people receive almost no substantial
benefit from the principal agricultural
effect of pulque drinking is horribly
enervating and demoralizing. Taken
in moderation, it is an excellent tonic to
the stomach, and Queen Victoria is said
10 be in the habit II drinking it for this
reason; but taken IN excess the effect is
fearful, as it produces the very worst
kind of intoxication. / have never seen
so many drunken people as in the
city of Mexico, where the pmtque-
rids are more frequent than gin
palaces in London or gin mills in
the Bowery. A pulgue - drunk " lasts
for about twenty-four hours, and as one
plant produces every day about four
quarts. jrst enough to intoNicate a
pulque drinker, aud this plant lasts for
about six months, the owner of a small
plot of ground can remain half drunk,
AS indeed many of them do, for many
years. The enormous amount of this
liquor that is consumed yearly can be
estimated from the fact that in she City
of Mexico alone the consumption is at
the rate of pint day for every in
habitant. and thai a special train, treq
de pRlqge. runs twice 4 day between
Apam, village in the heart of the ma
guey district, and Mexico City, the
freight from pnlque on each train
amounting to between seven hundred
and eight hundred dollarsi The ma
guey yields another liquor, which is
not so deleterious in its effects either
as drink or as an object of labor as is
pulque. This is the vino mezcal, which
is species of brandy. distilled from
the juice of the maguey; but it can only
be drunk rs a iiquera, and is not unlike
Jamaica rum. 1t is manufactured in
large quantities at Apam, where the
dry and cold temperature of the
great dusty Mexican plain produces
the maguey in its highest perfection.
AT Tequila, little town in the State
of yalisco, TO the north of Guadalajara,
very superior kind of mezcal is man
ufactuTed. which takes its name from
the town, and is really "A very palatable
beverage. But l am convinced, in spite
of the wonderful usefulness of the ma.

English Women in Politics.

American women who are al all pro-
gressive receive good many hits on
account of their Women's Rights"
proclivities, and some of the articles
written about them are both bitter and
discourleous. In England things are
different The best class of women not
only take conspicuous part in politics,
but the most aristocrstic of them do
things which would subject American
women to bitter blame and ridicuie. At
the late election in Hereford, Lady
Elizabeth Biddulph, finding that her
husband, who was candidate, could
not be present to address the voters,
went to the meeting herself in his place
and made them little speech. short,
modest and telling. She said Mr.. Bid
dulph could not be there that she
came there as his wife to represent
him-that he had their interests at
heart and loved his country, and she
hoped they would elect him and make
him happy and her also. When she
closed the cheers were deafening. Mr..
Biddulph came out all right and his OPP
ponent left, of course.
Another lady who pitched in" to
help her husband during the late En-
glish elections, was Lady Vaudeville,
formerly Miss Consuelo Yznaga, of New
York. Finding that her husband was
falling behind. she stood up and made
speech to the voters in his behalf.
One of the "short hairs told her rough
" to sit down, as they had not come to
listen to speeches from the petticoats;
but she playfully told him she must
have her say, as it was lea? year, and if
women could not speak now when
could they speak?-M. o. Rcagnne.
