A young lady named Dehart, at Port
Mariner, Staten Island, has recently
passed through q fast of thirty two days
without food or. water. The fast ended
about a week ago. It was not volun-
tary, but was carried out by the recon-
mendation and under the surveillance
of her attending physician. for the cure
of ulcers in the stomach. The cure has
been effected. The young lady is now
rapidly recovering and gaining flesh at
the rate of one pound per day. Her
weight during the ordeal was reduced
from 120 to ninety-five pounds. During
the first two weeks she suffered severe
ly from lack of food. At one time she
succeeded in evading orders through
the ignorance of new attendant, but
succeeded only in obtaining water,
which she sucked from wet cloth. At
another time, when left momentarily
alone, she obtained q few drops from o
goblet held out Of the window during q
heavy shower.-M =. Graphic.

An American Tichborne Case.

There is something of Tichborne
case in Boston. Some eleven years ago
Henry Youngs, a wealthy citizen of this
State, died leaving a large property,
the principal part of which was willed
to his sons, Henry and Theophilus.
Theophilus served in the army and aft
erward lived in several cities, his last
known residence being in Boston, where
he had wife and children. On the
18th of May, 1874 he left his wife and
she has not seen him since. In Febru-
airy, 1876, the body of man was found
in Boston Harbor and Mrs. Youngs and
several other persons identified it as
that of her husband. She soon after
began q suit against her brother-in-law
to recover her husbands share of the
estate which had not been settled. Sew
eral persons then testified that Theoph-
Illus was not dead and that they had
seen him after the date of the alleged
recovery of his body. A few DAYS ago
a man presented himself in Boston who
said that he was Theophilus YounQsL
explaining his absence by alleging that
he had been in the Black Hills country.
A number Of persons who used to know
him said that they identified him be-
yond doubt. He, however, did not WIS.,
it his wife, who processes continued
love for him and she says that his re-
ported return is only q trick. Mean
while it is said that the legal expenses
in connection with the settlement of the
estate have eaten up the greater part Of
it.-N. 7. EUcning Post.

Rapid Telegraphy -.- One Thousand
Words Z Minute.

A few days ago the American Rapid
Telegraph Company opened its Office
for business on Devonshire Street, near
the Old State House. It holds patents
which it is claimed enable it to send
messages at the rate of q thousand
words . minute, by methods which are
probably familiar to the public from
previous descriptions. In brief, mes
sages are prepared BY perforating ma
chimes; the perforations are arranged
conventionally into letters, and all that
is required of the operator is turning q
wheel-the messages appearing as per-
forations on continuous strips of paper
at the receiving end. The main work
Of transmission is in making the perfora-
tons at the sending end, and in tran
scribing into writing Tor typewriter
copy at the receiving end. The COM
pany was organized last year in New
York, but the officers are all Boston
men. At present about seventy-five
persons constitute the entire force at
each end of the wire. A line is being
put up between New York and WASH
ington, and several New England cities
will be brought into the system soon.
The company controls about dozen
patents which are Of service in this
method of telegraphy.
Besides the patents which will be used
for land telegraphing, there is an indie
pendent system for ocean cables which
viii admit the same method of perfora-
tons to use on them. 1t is as promis-
ing as the land system, and will enable
one cable To do the Work of five under

the lips feign a smile. If the head be
bent forward the tears will be likely to
run down the nose and drop off at the

for the eyes get red and the nose SYM
pathizes with the general moisture and
gets sort of raw look at the end. To
ase tears with effect requires, in fact,
Judgment. The effectiveness is gone as
