How the Watches we're scared
A Philosophers False Teeth.

The s~ingularities which marked the
existence Of Schopenhauer, did not
cease on his death bed. He expired
on the 2lst of September, 1860, and
two persons were appointed by his
medical attendant the watch the body
until the funeral. They agreed to
perform their task by turns, and one
Of them, who had been the barber Of
the deceased, sat down the first night
to watch at the foot of the bed, while
his companion took some rest on a
sofa. The moon was shining brightly
through the windows of the room,
which was on the ground floor. The
time and circumstances rather awed
the poor Figaro, who was of q timid
and superstitious nature, and while
his companion was snoring on his
couch. he was absorbed in fearful CON
siderations on the Immortality Of
the soul. Suddenly the clock on the
wall struck the ghostly hour
Of midnight, and the sharp stroke was
followed by a sharp sound from the
bed the head moved, and then came
a noise Of something falling on the
ground. Drawer men than the barber
would have been dismayed. No illu-
sion was possible; the head of the
corpse must have come off. In a
moment the barber had opened the
window and leaped into the deserted
street. His comrade woke up and
followed in no less haste. Both were
pale as death. But after some re-
lection they began to comprehend the
gravity of the situation. What
would be said the next morning il
they were not at their post?" Mutu.
ally encouraging each other, they
decided on returning and clearing up
the mystery. Two tapers were burn
ing in the room, and at one of these
they lighted a candle and approached
the bed, and their surprise was great
when on looking on the ground they
saw, not the head of Schopenhauer
but a set Of teeth. The philosopher
who was seventy-two years Of age, had
worn false teeth. The spring Of then
had caused them to become detached
from his mouth and her fall to thC
ground, causing the terror Of thu
watchers.

And How Il Led TO n miraculous
Escape from Death.

San francisco Chronicle.I
Every one has dreams. but few
dreamers expect a realization OF the
things seen or learned by them in their
restless slumbers. Others again be-
lieve in them explicitly. Mrs. Ada
Russell, Of Nc. 7l5 Howard street. the
wife Of B. I. Russell, is and has been
since girlhood a firm believer in
dreams, which, in her case and with
but few exceptions. she claims, have
turned out true. Mr.. Russell is
engaged in mining pursuits, and is
located about Bodie. Mrs. Russell is
OF delicate organization, and of a
slckly nature, and as the rarifed air of
the mountains is injurious to her
health, she lives in this city. at the
present time at the st. Dayid's house.
During the past month her husband
was employed in some capacity in the
Goodshaw mine, in Mono county, and
to-day, perhaps, would be among the
dead IT not for a thrice repeated
dream experienced by his wife. 1t
was on the night of Wednesday.
the 9th of October, that she dreamed
that a man from Bodie, we'll known to
her personally and by name. came to
a house situated in this city some
where, and in which the dreamer and
two female companions lived. The
man from Bodie Knocked at the door,
and one of the lady companions
answered the call. Prompted BY
curiosity, the dreamer also went to
the door, and the man from Bodie, per-
ceiying her presence, spoke in a sub
dued tone Of voice. However, Mrs.
Russell thought she overheard him
say that an accident had taken place
in the Goodshaw mine, and that Mr..
Russell was seriously injured, and
that he was not expected to live.
This dream, in its main features, was
repeated thrice during the night. The
next day she wrote to her husband at
the mine, telling him of the thrice-re-
peated dream, and ~beseeching him to
give up his situation, as the dream
forbode no good, and on the Both of
last month she received a message that
her husband had left the Goodshaw
mine for the Bechtel. Yesterday the
news was received that a fire had
broken out at daylight on Tuesday last
in the Goodshaw hoisting-works, and
that four men had been found suffo-
Gated on the 600 foot level.

IT is reported hal the recent burn

NEW YORK, November 2l.-As DIR.
Harrison, Of the Chambers street
hospital, was driving in an ambu.
lance along Rivington street yester-
day, he saw a fne-lookiug youne
man, handsomely dressed, lying on
the sidewalk. In response to a ques-
ton from the doctor as to what was
the matter, he replied in German that
ne felt quite sick, and asked to be
taken to a hospital. lie was assisted
into the ambulance and driven to the
Chambers street hospital. On ar
irving there he told the doctor thai
he had taken a dose Of strychnia that
morning in a fig. He was put to bed,
and was 0 seized with slight con-
vulsions, which gradually increased
until they became very violent. Fol
three hours the young man was in
intense agony, and at times his life
was despaired of. Late in the after
noon his condition began steadily to
improve, and early in the evening he
was pronounced out of danger.
He was at first %reticent, but finally
said that he had taken poison because
Of inability to procure employment.
He had arrived in this country from
Germany two weeks ago. His name
was George Kelman. and he was eigh-
teen years Of age. He left his home
on account of some love affair. He
bought the poison in France, with the
intention of committing suicide, buI
finally decided to try his fortune in
America. Finding nothing to do here,
he attempted his life. The youne
man is evidently we'll bred, and hi
condition has attracted much sym.
pathy at the hospital.
