A Breath of Fire.

DIR. L. G.. Woodman, of Paw Paw, Mich,
contributes the following interesting though
incredible observations: have a singular
phenomenon in the shape of young man
living here, that have studied with much
interest, and | am satisfied that his peculiar
power demonstrates that electricity is the
nerve force beyond dispute.
His name is VIM. Underwood, aged u
years, and his gift is that of generating fire
through the medium of his breath, assisted
by manipulations with his hands. He will
take agbody's handkerchief, and hold it
to his mouth, rub it vigorously with his
hands while breathing on it, and immedi-
ately it bursts into flames and burns until
consumed. He will strip, and rinse out his
mouth thoroughly, wash his hands and
submit to the most rigid examination to
preclude the possibility of any humbug,
and then by his breath blown upon any
paper or cloth, envelope it in fame.
He will, when out cunning and without
matches, DESTROYS of fire, lie down after
collecting dry leaves, and by breathing on
them start the fire and then coolly take off
his wet stockings and dry them. 1t is i'm
possible to persuade him to do it more than
twice in a day, and the effort is attended with
the most extreme exhaustion. He will
sink into chair after doing it, and on one
occasion, after he had set a newspaper on
fire as narrated, / placed my hand on his
head and discovered his scalp to be violent
ly twitching as if under intense excitement.
He will do it any time, no matter where he
is, under any circumstances, and l have
repeatedly known of his sitting back from
the dinner table, taking swallow of water,
and by blowing on his napkin, at once set
it on FIRE. He is ignorant, and says that
he first discovered his strange power by in
haling and exhaling on a perfumed hand
kerchief that suddenly burned while in his
hands. 1t is certainly no humbug, but
what is it? Does physiology give like in
stance, and if SO, where Michigan Med

THE NEW YEARS CHIMES.

Hank the bells of New Year ringing,
On the starry midnight calm,
Now as hushed as angels, singing,
Now like some triumphant psalm.
Over hill and stream and valley,
Soft the sound celestial steal
Now they pause, and now they rally,
Burst on burst and peal on peal.
Hark the bells of New Year Ginning,
peace, good will, )" they whisper low,
Then, exultant, as if climbing,
Upto heavens own gate they go.
All the air rocks with the ringing,
Swings the steeple; swings the sky,
Swings the stars themselves-al shining
