JUDGE Billings, of Louisiana, nom
mated by President Hayes for the
United States circuit judgeship made
vacant by the promotion of Judge
Woods to the supreme bench, is hav-
ing a hard time of it at Washington,
and the prospects indicate hal he will
be defeated when his proposed con-
frmation comes before the senate. OF
twelve senators representing the states
over which the judicial circuit ex-
tends eleven are known to be opposed
to the confirmation of Judge Billings.
Serious charges of malfeasance have
recently been stirred up against him,
one that he figured prominently and
discreditably in the wrecking of the
Mobile and Chattanooga railway some
years since. In an article on the
subject the New Orleans States
says his agency in the wrecking
incident affords ample grounds
for his impeachment and de-
gradation from the bench. Also,
that Hons. John E. Ellis and Randall
Gibson would either win the gratitude
of the people of Louisiana by urging
upon the house Of representatives ar
ticles of impeachment against this
man. The only reason it is claimed
that have been urged in his favor for
the succession is that the lawyers and
litigants of the Louisiana district fear
his corruption, and desire to have MIN
removed as far as possible, and they
would rather secure his promotion
than have him remain the immediate
srbiter of their interests. The feel
ing against the judge is very strong,
and his chances appear to be ~lessening

THE ARREST OF DAv1rT.

The arrest Of Michael Dagitt on
Carlisle bridge, in Dublin, last
Wednesday, was an extraordinary
measure aod quite unexpected to the
public. The government had hest
tated so long that its action in this 10.
stance was regarded as a new depart
IRE and an entire change Of policy.
Mr. Davitt was one of the condition
ally pardoned fenians who returned to
Ireland in 1878. He became a mem
Der of the land league, took an active
part, and is one Of the executive
committee. Davitt is one Of the
three persons authorized to check
jointly on the land league fund depos-
tied for safety in Paris. The govern
ment saw proper to consider that
Davitt hadviolated his ticket of leave.
He was looking to be arrested, and ex-
pressed a hope that he would be the
first person arrested. On the day Of
his arrest he had been working at the
league offices with the ladies' relief
committee, who we're busy getting out
addresses to the Irish people. Be-
tween two and three o'clock he
left the Offices to dine.
With him were Mr.. Brennan, the
secretary Of the league, and Mr.. Nat.
thew Harris, Of Ballinasloe, both OF
them defendants in the recent state
trial. On the bridge Mr.. Dayitt was
arrested by a detective officer and
carried to the castle. Later in the day
it was learned that the queen had re
vcked Davitt's pardon, and that Off
GERS had been sent on from London to
effect his arrest, it having previously
ascer.ained BY telegram that he was in
Dublin. From the castle he was con-
veyed in a cab to a mail steamer, where
he was given a frst-class berth
His physician, DR.. Kennedy, and other
friends found him there. Upon
making a statement that he had treated
Davitt six months for a pulmonary
disease the doctor was allowed to see
him. Mr.. Davitt was found in good
spirits, and declared that his arrest
would not influence the movement in
any way. He said that the govern
ment had done a cowardly act and
committed a gross blunder. lie sent

THEIR APPEARANCE.

Leo Wolf is sixteen years Of age,
slender and rather under size, with a
dreamy c|ounteuance, and large, dark
eyes. Mr.. Cohen is rather underline
medium height, about twenty years Of
age and of bright, vivacious nature.
Although not a resident of Memphis,
he is well known in the city. He
stated to the reporter that he had
only discovered how to utilize his
powers duriny the recent visit of Pro-
lessor Henry, and was invariably
greeted by his Jewish friends as Pro
fossor," on account Ofthe rapid devel-
opment Of his powers. When asked if
he could place others besides the
young man, Leo Wolf, under his con-
troll, he named a dozen citizens, and
said that five Of the ten children at his
boarding house we're under his con
troll. He had influence over eighteen
out oftwenty females and could mes
merize any one who was his negative
or opposite, though he never discov-
cred nor believed in c~lairyoyance or
second sight until young Wolf was
suggested to him as a good subject for
mesmerism. HE is the only one Of
my subjects whe possesses that power"
said he.
Mr.. Cohen's experiments have crea-
ted a lively interest in Hebrew
circles, many Of whom besides beliey-
ing in mesmerism are earnest converts
to clairvoyance.

To begin with, Leo was told to
stand in the floor, and Mr.. Cohen put
him under the influence of
m~esmerism. Holding both his arms
out at right angles with his
body, Leo was deied to bead them,
but was unable to do so. The reporter
then grasped an arm, but could not
bend it. He was told he had no feel
ing, and when a pin was thrust in his
hand did not finch. He was then
told he had feeling, and cut a consid-
cradle caper when the pin was again
applied. Mr.. Cohen handed him a
plain wooden ruler next, telling him
it was a beautiful young lady, and to
waltz with her. Smiling serenely, the
boy clasped the ruler and waltzed
gracefully and in perfect time about
the room. Taking the stick from him
Mr.. Cohen handed him a linen hand
kerchief, saying, Take this little
baby, Leo, and kiss it" Leo took
the handkerchief as tenderly as if it
had been one of the little i%nnocents in
truth, and kissed it softly. he was
told to lay it down, and did SO. Wax
ing him up suddenly, Mr.. Cohen
asked him what made him put that
baby there.
81 didn't do it." was the answer.
"You did; you know you did, said
Mr.. Cohen, emphatically, drawing his
hand before his face.
YES, l did, replied Leo, again
under the influence of mesmerism.
The boy was told to sit down and
take part in tie performance Of an
orchestra. He went through all the
motions of playing the violin, drum,
flute and bones.
"You can't get up from that chair,
Leo said Mr.. Cohen after this per
formance, and try as he would he was
unable to rise until given permission.
COULDN'T COME oAssABIANcA.
Leo said MIR. Cohen, after a few
moments pause, here is a vast audi
ence about you. They have come
here to hear you speak, and you must
not disappoint them. Repeat that
little poem about The Boy Stood on
the Burning Deck
81 can't replied Leo.
You've got to-" said Mr.. Cohen
decidedly.
"0h, don't, please" said Leo, plain
You must sayit."
Il won't, there now and Leo
backing up against the wall.
Finding it useless to go any further
in the direction of the immortal boy
who sold peanuts by the peck, Mr.
remarked they would go. as it
was growing cold, when Leo shivered
like an aspen leaf and drew his coat
collar up around his neck. Being
told it was warm again, he tried to
draw off his coat, but was prevented
by Mr.. Cohen, who brought MIN out
Of the trance, Yawning irrepressibly

neck until every bone in his body
cracked, he was himself again.
