ORIGIN of the Word Roorback.

Nathan Guilford, once a well-known
citizen of Cincinnati, was an active Wing
politician, and editor of an energetic
Wing paper On April /, of a certain
year, he published circumstantial ac-
count of experiments by a German
chemist named Roorback. RoOrback
had been examining the chemical con-
stituents of eggs of different birds, sup
posing it might be possible at last to
compound hatchable egg. According
to the story, after putting many of his
manufac tured eggs to the animal heat OF
different patient mothers, he at last
happily succeeded in Matching one egg
and produced living bird. The story
then goes on to describe very minutely
the strange creature, anat0mically,
physiologically and every other way,
initiating the scientific style used IN
similar cases. The story read very well,
and was copied into many other papers,
and, after going the rounds of the press
in all parts of the United States, it was
at last (after three or four months) dis
covered to have been first published on
the 1st of April.
The Cincinnati Enquirer democrat
ic) Immediately fixed upon Nh. Gullford
the name of Roorback, which was there
after held to mean q political liar,
although the story had nothing to do
with politics. Being we'll stuck to, the
name at last became pretty well fixed,
and Mr.. G.. was for many years well
known in the political field as Old
Roorhaok

A Strange Story.

It is easy to attribute illusions and So
called spiritual visions" to walking
dreams and double consciousness when
confined to a single individual, but how
will you explain them when two persons,
hundreds of miles apart, are conscious
of each others presence? My mother,
an unimaginative woman, who had never
discovered her nerves, when In her eigh-
tieth year was prostrated with an alarm
ing attack of pneumonia. On Sunday
morning she was unconscious OF her sur
roundings, and: apparently very near
death, and telegram to that effect was
sent without her knowledge to her son,
who was living in Western New York
her home being In Massachusetts,. This
son had been i'll but was convalescing, and
when the dispatch reached him he wsS
on the piazza taking a sun-bath, clad III
his bed room ulster of a peculiar make
and close-fitting skull cap of seal-slSin
In his agitation over the distressing newA
he walked to the front gate, and leaning
upon it for support, suddenly and dis
tinctly beheId the figure of his mother
standing before him. Greatly lmpres sci
by the occurrence, he determined to Sis-
it her bedside, hastily made prepIra-
tions for the journey, and by travelnR
express all the way reached her house
on Monday afternoon, when he told tho
story of the apparition.
Meanwhile my mother had rallied
somewhat and her mind was clear most
of the time, but it was thought best MT
to apprise her of my brothers arrival
After time, when she was thought TO
be sleeping, he stepped to her door TO
look at her. She Immediately spoke to
him in her ordinary manner, without be-
traying the least surprise at his being
there, and said: ''Well, John, you look
better in that coat. L never saw such
strange suit as that you had on when
You were leaning over the gate on Sun
day morning." My poor brother, man
nearly sixty years of age, and not IN tho
least superstitious, was yet so overcome
by this double mystery. that he nearly
tainted. In this case no collusion was
possible. My mother had never visited
the city where my brother lived and had
never seen the suit of clothes mentioned.
She could not have overheard his voice
in the house, as her hearing was inn
paired. Can the event be explained on
scientific oround.-N T. Tribune.
