CASTING our DEVILS.

Strange revelations concerning the dis
NAL superstition still prevalent in the rural
districts of west Prussia were disclosed in
the course Of Or. Kotlevski's recent trial at
Stuhm for "unlawful practices" This per-
son had acquired widely spread reputa-
ton among the peasantry as a sorceror.
Some time ago woman afflicted by epil-
epsy applied to him for a cure. Having
diagnosed her case, he declared that she was
possessed by four devils, conjured into her
body by female neghbor. lie then pro-
ceeded to exercise those demons, three Of
whom promptly quilted their human tene-
ment in obedience to his spells. The fourth
however, laughed his incantations to scorn.
This hendish recalcilrance led him to the
discovery that in order to expsl the obsiin-
ate demon, il would be necessary that the
epileptic woman should swallow draught
of the witch's blood, In order to obtain
this nostrum he betook himself to the dwell
ling of the woman, 10y him accused Of
witchcraft, and beat her until she lay sense
less on the door. But for the Interference
of a resolute neighbor he would have muir
dered his victim. Arraigned for this crime
before a Prussian tribunal, lie declared in
open court that he did nothing more than
his duty to his patient, and that he had not
only frequently rldded possessed per-
sons Of their tendish inmates by similar
means, but had often seen and spoken 10
devils with whom he had thus dealt. lie
was sentenced to Imprisonment by the tribu-
nal Of Stuhm.

RED sorrow into many home and added list

and crippled humanity A passenger train on
the Hannibal and st. Joseph railroad was
thrown from the track near Beaver, six miles
west of Macon, Mo. The engine baggage car
and two coaches went down an embankment
ten feet high and all but the smoking car were
demolished. The smoking coach which was
occupied by women and children kept an up
right position, but plowed its way into the earth
for some distance. The occupants escaped with

Aaron Burr and Mrs. Hamilton.
From Notes and Queries


When ON an official visit to the United
States in 1853 l spent a day or two at
Mr.. Stuart Brownies place, on the New
Jersey shore of the Hudson river, above
Hoboken. Gen. Taylor, of Ohio. was
another guest, and as the house was at
no great distance from the spot where
the fatal duel between Burr and Hamil-
ton took place, DULY II, 1904, J a CONVEX
sation arose on the event, and the char
acteristics, public and private, of the
two men. Gen. Taylor told us that when
/ a Very young man, studying at West
Point, he was on river boat, and among
the passengers was Mrs. Hamilton, wild
ow of Alexander Hamilton, and Aaron
Burr, who had returned to the states after
his enforced absence in Europe, i'll con-
sequence OF his proved reasonable prac-
tees. Burr was then an old man, but
still retained much of his former conf
dence and manner, especially with ladies.
To the establishment OF those who knew
him, on discovering that Mrs. Hamilton
was on board the steamboat, he APP
preached her, took off his hat, and bow
ing, said, "Mrs. Hamilton, / believe :?
My name is Burr" The effect upon the
lady, now well stricken in wears. was
electric. Rising from her seat, she gath
cred up her dress, as if to touch Burr
with it would be contamination, drew
herself up, and looking at him from head
to foot, swept away with a dignity and
grace worthy her best days, and left him
standing abashed, if he were capable of
feeling 50, before the spectators Burr
replaced his hat upon his head and slow
ly moved back to the seat he had left
purposely to make this experiment upon
the feelings OF the widow of the man he
has slain, for one cannot suppose that be
had any intention to apologize or explain,
since this was impossible.

and kissing the bible, which he held in
his hand, was to turn and kiss his moth
er and wife. He was then congratulated
by all near him, and then escorted by
the president and committee of reception
of the senate to the carriage in waiting,
and conducted to the White House.
The return from the capitol was the
great show of all the great demonstra-
ton. There must have been $4,000
troops in the column. The marching
was as perfect as could be. The avenue
was filed for two hours with the column
of infantry, the front moving at quick
time, with scarcely halt, and the time
of thus passing any point was little
over two hours. There has been moth
ing approaching it here since the grand
