II in San Francisco now that the
woman is WHO exercises evil spirits,
and she is represented Gs doing
lucrative business. II she can really
drive out devils, as she processes to
do, she has unquestionsbly chosen
geod place in which to operate. Sic
told q reporter: 81 have expelled hun
dreds and hundreds of devils. Oae
case l had last fell of a gentleman
living in the courtry-a man Of fine
intellect and cultivation, who was re-
garded by bis friends as on the sure
road to the lunstic asylum. He was
impelled to 90 days and nights with
out fooj; to take long trsmps, which
his normal strength would not have
been sufficient for. He would talk
brilliantly, and as II inspired, enc
moment, and the nexs use low aud
vulgar language. He came to
see me six tines. aDd the last
time sat with him from
8 o'clock to II O'Clock, when my
band Of spirits effected his final
release" The woman cited several
instances where she had been success-
ful in driving out devils, and said that
certain incantations ksoWn only 10
her, seldom failed tc make the evil
influences go. She holds that most
persons considered insane are merely
melted by imps inside. The strangest
part Of her story is that men and
women sre fools enough to believe in
her powers, and patronize her.

Qualifications.

An old lady walked into a lawyers
office, when the following conversation
took place:
Lady-Squire, called to see if you
would like to take this boy and make a
lawyer of him.
Lawyer-The boy appears to be rath-
er young, madam how old is he?
Lady-Seven years, sir.
Lawyer-He is too young, decidedly
too young; have you no older boys?
Lady-Oh, yes; L have several but
we have concluded to make farmers of
the others. l told the old man thought
this little fellow would make tirst-rate
lawyer, and SO 1 called to see if you
won d take him.
Lawyer-No, madam he is too young
yet to commence the study of the pro-
fession but why do you think this boy
is better calculated for lawyer than
your other sons?
Lady-Why, You see, Sir, he is just Z
years old to-day. When he was only 5
he'd lie like all nature when he got to
be 6 he was saucy and impudent as any
critter could be, and now he'll steal any
thing he can lay his hands on.

How to Make Good Times.

If you are q farmer, patronize your
homo merchant and manufacturer.
Spend your money with home trades
men, and thereby assist in making your
town prosperous.
If the business man, the mechanic and
tradesman are prosperous, the farmers
and all others in community will be
benefited.
Do your business in spirit of recip-
rocity. Let each vocation try to assist
the other. and in this way will a friendly
and mutual relation exist which will
prove beneficial to all.
Do not purchase articles from abroad
which are manufactured at home if you
can possibly help it.
The true cause of prosperity is to be
found in industrial habits, when aided
by Judgment, to make the labor protita-
bic, because all wealth, without excep-
ton, is the result of well-regulated
labor.

Curious Find of Bank Notes.

A suit of treasure trove was heard be-
fore the Paris Civil Tribunal recently,
The shop woman (named Costa at n
pork butchers, about to wrap up some
meat in piece of waste paper, found
two bank notes of 1000 francs each
pasted between two leaves of an old
book which had evidently belonged to
some religious community, rs they bore
printed on them the rules of monastic
order, and the names Of the Lady Pat
ronessesof an ASSOCIATION FOR the propaga-
tion of the faith. Nile. Costa gave up
the notes TO her master, NJ. Andre, who
first made inquiry of a dealer from whom
he had purchased the waste paper, as TO
whether he knew from whom he had OBJ
tanned il, but he did not. Mr.. Andre
having i'll consequence manifested an
intention to keep the money, Mile. Cos
ia first called him before the Commits
sary of Police, when he offered her 500
francs, declaring that it was sufficient to
reward the honesty of shop woman.
This offer was refused, and both par les
instituted proceedings. The advocate OF
Mile. Costa argued that, as she had
found the notes, they belonged wholly
to- her; that Of NJ Andre maintained
that they were his, as they had been
found among papers belonging TO him,
or, in any case, he had right TO half,
Article 716 Of the Code provides for such
cases, decreeing that treasure belongs
wholly to the person who he's found it on
his own property but if found on the
property of another it belongs half tc
the finder and half to the landlord.
Both parties claimed that this was not a
ease for the applications of that rule as
the treasure was not feslnd buried i'll tho
ground. The coe4t ordered the sum t,
be divided between the parties, and eacl
TO bear hall of the costs.

The Irish Potato Crop.

The average potato crop i'll Ireland,
says an English paper, for the three
years ending with 1876, was valued at
60, 100000. In 1877 it was only e5, $50
600, in 1878 only f7, $50, 600, and in 1873
only f3, $40, 600, showing loss on the
year below an average year of e5, 90S, 900,
and below a good year, like 1876, OF
80, 49, 900. The aggregate loss ON po-
tatoes in three years was Ell sos, 600
more than an average years crop and a
quarter-and more than 10000, 900 on
tenement valuations of the land of Ire
land, exclusive of houses and buildings.
1t may be mentioned that the potato
crop IN good year, like 1876, when it
was fl2, 464, 900 is about equal in value
to all the other crops of human food.

The Straight Of Ii.

An exchange says: We overheard a
conversation between two little urchins,
which for It's intelligence we consider
good. One of them, it appears, had
been engaged in a mortal combat VITA n
companion, and was relating how the
thing occurred. Said he. "Tll tell
YOU row it was. You see, me and Bill
went down to Turner's tobacco manu-
factory and fshed off that old boat, hut
we didn't catch any; L got one bite and
Bill told me TO scratch, but i didn't.

Law Of the Case.

No man who builds up TO his line has
the legal right to open window upon
his neighbours land The main reason
Cor refusing such a privilege is that after
twenty years enjoyment it becomes n
vested right, SO that the owner of the
land upon which the windows open can
not build it up, and thus by his own
walls close mp the windows. An owner
of lot up town allowed his neighbors
on each side to open side windows to
their houses upon it, supposing that
they could only enjoy it until he wished
to build. After twenty-one years he
found that he could not build So as to
close the windows, nor could he sell the
lot for anything like the value it should
have represented.
