Mrs. Craig rushed into blacksmith
shop at Elizabeth, n. j., the other day
with babe in her arms and two chill
dren clinging to her and demanded pro-
lection from officers who had a warrant
for her removal to an insane asylum.
She had escaped from the house by GO
ing to her room to dress and then dash
ing out of the back door with her chill
dren. The officers were close behind
in hack, but the blacksmith, Peter
Tevlin by name, who knew the wo-
man, warned them to touch her at theiI
peril and sent for three brothers-in-law
of the woman who also maintained heI
sanity. Her husband is a cOachman
who had got the certificate of two ply
sicians to her insanity. Judge McCOr-
mack, who issued the warrant, will look
into the case again. There is no safe
ty unless the judge is required by law
to see the party.

Editor Logan of the Montreal Star
was dying of typhoid fever. Speaking
at intervals i'll his delirium, he said II
have brother at sea-" "A storm is
coming on" "Will the vessel be able
to weather the storm ?" The waves are
dashing over the ship" "Oh, that he
were safe on land :" His mind wander
ed to other matters, but always return
ed to his brother, who, it was after
wards learned, was at that very time
drowning in storm. Those who be-
lieve i'll second sight will not accept
the theory of chance in this strange
and well authenticated case.

Miss Emily Faithful, in a lecture at
New York the other night, contradicted
the statement sometimes heard, that
woman's ability to he self-suppOrting
lessened her chances of marriage. She
said: ''One great objection urged
against increasing wOman's power of
gaining her own livelihood is that by
doing so you will decrease her inclina-
ton to marriage. This fear can surely
only be entertained by those who re-
gard marriage as very unhappy state.
Anything which makes Il woman more
valuable increases her opportunities of
marriage, and it is neither for her own
good nor the good of society that she
should marry for hunger instead of for
love and esteem. Every one whose
questionings of life have been honest
and whose insight into life has been
deep will admit that marriage is the
crown of and completion of a wOman's
life, but then it must be what God in
tended it to be-a marriage founded on
love and esteem, not one from the de-
sire of position or need of support"

Rev. James Beecher, half brother
of Henry Ward, has been shut up in
an asylum for the insane. His brother,
Rev. Thomas X. Beecher of Elmira, an
able and worthy man, has caused this
step to be taken. 1t does not appear
that James is dangerous lunatic. He
is very eccentric. Abandoning church
charge in Poughkeepsie, he became a
recluse and built for himself solitary
habitation in the Catskills, where he
and his wife and adopted daughter
have lived for eight years, beloved by
their few neighbors. Recently the ec-
centric clergyman has been forming ex-
travagant plans for the purchase Oi
land and erection of hotel. Hi.
brother, though knowing that Jane,
has talents, doubts the ability of the re-
cluse to keep hotel.

leaders that are above him and those
that are below him constantly need
his help. The hungry followers, to
whom politics and party allegiance
mean nothing but the pickings and
stealings Of Office, look to him for
their daily bread and turn upon him
quickly and iercely if they are not
kept satisfied with promises and oc-
casiona crumbs Of substantial profit.
Added to this is the uncsasing neces-
sity for paving the way for reelection
or re-appointment. necessity which
is the unsupported key to many q
mysterious move ON the political
board, whose results are to be realix-
ed so far ahead in the game that,
when it is won, the move that may
have been the pivot Of the whole CON-
bination has long been lost sight Of.
Few professions are 80 fraught with
perplexities, 30 uncertain IN their
profits, so grotesque in their moon
gruities, so mixed in their association,
so tempting and treacherous, as that
of politics. But few are so fascinating

with SO small . regard tor the simple
Of truth and honesty. orso
little pretence Of concern for the
well-being Of others. Il Is q lottery
in which very few draw prizes worth
