Uses of MesmerlBm.

A negro presented himself at the
Louisville Hom9opathic Dispensary
short time ago and asked to be treated
tor a large tumOr which was growing
on his face and neck. Obtaining nei-
ther permanent benefit nor temporary
relief he expressed wish to have the
tumor cut out, and the operation was
appointed for last Wednesday. When
the surgeons were ready to proceed
ether was administered, but without
effect, and so much time was wasted in
attempting to put the patient under its
influence that the operation had to be
postponed until Friday, when the ne
gro promptly appeared and insisted
that the job should be done without
the use of anHsthetic. One Of the sur
geons present expressed the opinion
that he could mesmerize the patient to
such an extent that he would not feel
tue knife, and in fact he soon put the
negro into q sort OF trance which SEEM
ed to render him insensible to pain.
| The tumor was then cut out, and when
the dressings had been applied, the
whole operation having occupied an
hour and half, the negro was aroused.
He declared that he had bee conscious
of all that occurred, but had not felt
the least pain, aud the surgeons believ
ed him, for ne had not shown the
slightest sign of suffering.

"In appearance the City of Peking Is
a fine bat. She was built al Roach s
wherves, Chester, Pa, in 1874. Per-
haps it would not do to say In the
Sites what they say here; but they do
say that after her first trip out here she
vas obliged tc go on the dock at Hong
Kong for repairs, before she was al
10 we'd to take an y passengers aboard
for her return trip. Recently she has
been on the dry dock in San Francisco
while abe had two iron decks put in at
a cost of 100000. Her original cost

rh. Ohm ess Restriction n Law.

SAN FRANCrsCo,N Nov. IA, 18S2.-Last
Friday the Chinese steamer Coptic ar
rived, bringing three Chinese claiming
to be merchants, but having no certiti-
cate to that effect, as provided In section
6 of the Chinese Restriction law. The
Collector of the Port refused to allow
them to land. On Saturday writ Of
habeas corpus was sued ont in the U.
8. District court, JHdga Hoffman COM
pelling tbs Collector 10 ShoW cause why
he refused them permission to come
ashore.
Today the case of Fook All Helm
was tried, and Judge Hoffman held
that the petitioner had proved beyond
all reasonable doubt, by testimony OF
respectable white people, who dealt
with him, to be Chinese merchant;
that his landing was prohibited solely
on the ground that he had no certifi-
cate, and this In the face of the treaty,
which says that prohibition shall apply
TO laborers only, other CLASSES not be-
ing included in limitation; that Con-
gress has nowhere said that Chinese
merchant failing to produce a certiti-
cate shall not land. He also cited cases
previously decided by Justice Field
and himself and said:-'T take this op-
portuniLy to again say that to construct
the language OF the act as suggested
would, in my judgment, insure the re.
peal Of the law at the next session OF
Congress-. The petitioner was dis
charged, and the others were also al
lowed to come ashore.

About noon yesterday VIM. Guthrie

Moore. and informed him that Isaac
HAYDEN had stolen the key belonging
to the workshop. In q short time after,
wards tue officer saw Hayden and
Jonas Heck together On Front street,
and took him in custody. Upon search-
irg him at the hall, the key was found
in his pocket, together with silver
plated spiggOt, and new screw tap:
Last evening he had hearing betore
the Mayor when Mr.. Guthrie testihed
that Isaac came into their place yester'
day and hs ordered him out. After he
was gone the key was missed and ne
had him arrested.
The prisoner said that he found the
key In the street, and whom asked ey
the Mayor about the splggot, SAID IL
was given to him by Heck to sell, fol
the purpose of obtaining money TO puy
liquor. ..,o,oo -,
rhe Mayor said that this was one Of
,be cases that he could not settle and
held him in 800 for Court.
Hayden informed the Mayor that he
did not think that was q very good
way TO reform man, and help him tc
do better. He would no doubt have
continued his harrangue for some time
had not the chief ordered an officer tc
taLe him down to the cells. Hayden ID

Levi Davis, who had hearing yes'
terday morning on suspicion Of being
one of the pacties that heeced mr,
woodward on the oath of last month OF
$500, was discharged from custody yes
terday afternoon. None Of the Wit

The Mayor reserved bis decision until IN

the evidence was not sufficient to hold
him for Court dismissed the case, and
ordered his discharge. ,

The Joyce Murder Trial,

DUBLIN, November 14.-The arrest
yesterdayEof mAR f0r@Aeged participA
tion in the Joyce family murder took
place At Cong. 1t was made In conse-
quence of information given by the ap-
proVer In the case Of the Joyce mAssg-
ere. The trial of Patrick Joyce was
continued to-day. Three witnesses who
alleged that they followed the assassins
at a distance gave evidence and identi-
fed the prisoners. Counsel elected in
the crossexAminatiOA that there had
been bad feeling between one of the
witnesses and Patrick Joyce, the AZ
Sassin now actual on trial. and also be-
tween another witness and the muir
dered farmer.
The first approver, whose name is
Philbin, deposed that he accOmp- MED
the accused to the house of the Joyces
and waited and heard the shrieks OF the
victims. Casey was next examined.
His testimony Cerroborated that Of
Philbin.
Mr.. Malley addressed the Court on
behalf of the prisoner. He maintained
that the innocence Of the accused was
shown by absence Of motive for the
crime and claimed that the evidence
against him had been COnGocted. He
pointed out the inconsistency of the
evidence for the prosecution and said
that given by John Joyce was instiga-
ted by spite.

A Mnrdarer,a AeQrar.

The Frenchman, Henri DE Boisnys,
who is in the Essex county New York }
Jail on the charge of numbering his
wife who was widow named Betsy
Wells when he made her acquaintance
last spring, has told the Essex authori-
ties a strange story about the myste-
rious disappearance from Essex ten
years ago of , resident named Lemaire,
He claims that he overheard q Conyer-
sation between Lemaiso's boarding
house keeper and wife, in which the
woman Threatened to betray murder.
De Boisnys asserts that when be
found an opportunity TO talk to the
woman about LemAire she turned pale
and said that If there had been mur-
der 1t would be found out. The Esse K
county authorities have decided to
make an investigation, De BOisnys is
said to have made frequent attempts
recently to escape from jail. He WAS \
resident of this city for two years until
March last, when his wife Celestine
died, her funeral expenses and DOCTORS
bill being paid by the French Benevo-
lent Society.
De Boisnys induced colored woman
named Elizabeth Brown, ntcknamed
French Liz, to accompany him to Lake
Champlain, N. Y on small yacht.
The colOred woman was fora timeregaTd
ed as another victim, hut reached this
city safely. Then DE Boisnys, drifting
about the neighborhood Of Troy, n. Y,
fell In with Betsy Wells, who had been
left a widow with a snug farm and
dwelling. The woOiug was brief, and
De Boisnys, a vagaboDd and probable
French convict, walked in aud hung
up his hat as master.
On August 2 no went riding with his
wife, but did net return home, going
Instead to town near Whallensburg,
Essex county, where his wite's farm
WAS. Her corpse was found In the
woods, almost nude, with bullet wounds
in her breast and head. Her garments
and . pistol were found In De Boisuy g
wagon when he was arrested on the
following day. The theory is that he
had tired Of her and murdered her be
cause she refused to transfer her pos
sessions to him, as he desired. De
Boisny's abode while in Philadelphia
was in a miserable Shanty on South
Front street, near Greenwich Point.

Tn 9 Fading lIorn1nE Cemet.

The Albany Argus says: ut seems
that the comet has now ceased to be
popular wonder, though it still claims
the attention and interest of astrOno-
mers the world over, and will continue
to do 80 until it has passed from the
range of their instruments into the
bouudless realms Of space. Since the
moon has removed from the vicinity of
tho comet, the latter's appearance has
become brighter, and its luminous,
lace-likS train can again be seen in the
early morning shooting across the sky
directly from its seeming enemy, tie
sun. When the tail was last measured
at the Dudley Observatory, q few days
ago, it was 18 degrees long. This cor
responds with an actual length OF about
$4,000, 600 miles. Telescope study Of
the great objects reveals an increased
elongation of the comets head.
The bright round nucleus in the end
nearest the sun has preserved its first
apparent relation to the less dense ma
terial directly surrounding it ever since
the separation Of the compact and OBJ
long head, which occurred several
weeks ago But the head has been CON
tinually increasing in length, though
diminishing in brightness, and when
last measured by Mr.. Tucker was over
100 900 miles long.
Those having the matter in charge
have experienced considerable difficult
ty in combining the observations of
different observers because of the un-
certainty as to the precise part of the
fok " nh
centre of gravity and used for the point
to be located. The question of the
identity of the new comet may depend
upon this. The comet will probably
remain in the range of vision until
January, when it will rise about mid
night. Much computation remains to
be done to determine whether or not
the great object will return within the
lifetime Of any person now on the
earth"

thero had been an irregularity at their

to explain said that the votes cane in

getting them in he got little ahead of
the clerks but managed the matter
afterwards. Now the votes that he
was in such haste to get in the ballot
