cination is the case of Mrs. Eusbe Bordrean, of Hudson, who has for some time labored under the delusion that she was possessed by devil which must be disposed of in order to save her life. To carry this Idea into effect she went to local tinsmith and gave an or der for three hooks to pull the devil out of her with. She invited her friends to assist at the operation, which invitation, however, was not accepted. She so brooded over her supposed condition that she finally attempted to remove her evil companion by inserting hooks into her body, producing severe lacer- ations, and it is feared fatal results will en- sue. Her removal to the Worcester insane asylum will take place as soon as her condi- ton will allow.

An EX-COnsul Dies i'm Poverty.
" ashingtOn Post.



James Madison TarIeton, a consu
general to Melbourne, Australia, during
two presidential administrations and
collector of the port of Mobile under
Presidents Johnson and Grant, died in
this city last night from want and ex-
posure. He had most varied and sin
gular career. Born in New Hampshire
III 1908, his youth was spent in Con
cord, where he attended the best schools
of the city. Attaining to manhood he
embarked in business as a cotton mer-
chant in Mobile, Ala, in 1887. Here
he accumulated a large fortune, but
misfortune Overtaking him, he was. on
his own application, adjudged bank.
rupt in February, 1912. His property
was sold to pay his liabilities, and from
his papers it appears that his creditors
lost but little by his failure. In 1850
he was appointed assistant postmaster
at Concord, n. H, bYGen. Lowe, post
master. Here he remained for some
years. 1t was at this time in his life
that friendships formed in youth ri
pened into the warmest ties. With
President Pierce, Governor Baker, and
the foremost politicians of the state, he
was on terms of the closest intimacy.
When Mr.. Pierce became president in
1852, he appointed his old friend con-
sui to Melbourne, Australia. This DO
sition he retained for the greater part
of Buchanan's administration, also.
Returning to this country, he again
took up his abode in the south. tthe
breaking out of the war, though still a
democrat, he was opposed to secession.
In 1862 he came north, and henceforth
was pronounced republican. He did
not, however, forget his friend, and
while bitterly denouncing democrats i'll
general, would never say one word
against Pierce. Under President John
son he was appointed to the collector
ship of Mobile, and was only removed
in the subsequent administration of
President Grant. Since that time his
life has been one of knocks and cuffs.
Some four years ago he found shelter,
through the kindness of Mr.. +. P.
Burke, over the latter's store. A small
room, comfortably furnished, was
placed at his disposal. and during all
that time, while feeding and clothing
him, Mr.. Burke has received no remu-
neration. Mr.. Burke speaks in the
highest terms of Mr.. Tarleton's hon
esty any sobriety. He never, even in
the depth of his poverty forgot the dig
nifty of his character, and was as indie
pendent as though he was worth mill
ions. He stunned old friends, SEEM
ingly ashamed to acquaint them with
his changed condition. Mr.. Tarleton
married Miss Fisk, of Concord, n. H.,
a daughter of Francis M. Fisk, a
wealthy merchant of that place. The
brother Of Mr.. Tarleton married a sis
ter Of the late Senator Goldthwaite, of
Alabama. The independent character
and naughty pride of Mr. Tarleton,
that forbade him making known his
condition while he suffered in silence,
doubtless hastened his death.
