AT a social reception on the north side
of California street and about midway of
that thoroughfare, on Wednesday evening,
the conversation drifted on the large num-
Der of disasters on land and sea, by fire and
flood, collisions and explosions, which have
proved so destructive to human life during
the first two months of the present year.
From these subjects the conversation
turned on the representations of death.
Several examples were given in which the
foreboding had proved correct or had been
falsifed By events, when a Mr.. Backstrum.
who was present, took part in the discus
sion. lie said that seven years ago for
tune teller in Sweden said to him: Young
man, you will leave your country very sud
denly and travel III q strange land. Your life
will be very intricate. After many ups
and downs you will die a horrible death
on your thirtieth birthday and your body
will never be buried or recovered. Your
life is safe until then" According to Mr..
Backstrum's statement he Unexpectedly
sailed in the India for Australia, two weeks
afterward, was wrecked on the Goodwin
sands, and out of twenty-nine persons on
board only the cook and himself were
saved from raft and conveyed TO London
While there they got mixed up in a fight
between Swedish and Danish sailors. Dur
ing the melee pistol WAS discharged, the
ball grazing the bridge of his nose and
killing his Inflated companion instantane-
ousiy. He has since been shipwrecked six
times and was once blown away with the
mizzen royal yard in 2 gale at sea, and
was then picked up. Mr.. Backstrum firm
ly believes that ne viii die as predicted on
his thirtieth birthday, July l, 1883,and acts
accordingly.

4" Little Enir GirE.V

An extraordinary probate suit has just
been brought to close by the civil tribu-
nal at Rheims. The will in dispute was
that of the Vicomte. de Brimont, chief
partner in champagne firm. The vi
comte some thirty years ago married an
English lady, but in 1867 a judicial separa-
ton took place. After few years of IN
married existence the vicomte conceived q
strong desire to adopt child, ga little
fair girl" he accordingly sent woman
one Nine. Caroline Sebsult-in search of a
child which she succeeded in discovering
in England. Mary Riboldi, ''iittIe fair
girl" was carefully educated by her adopt
ed father who on his death in 1881 left her
a sum of nearly 100000 francs. NJ. din
freville, a nephew of the deceased, at
tempted to upset the will. He sent ennis
saries to London to trace the origin of
Mary Riboldi, discovered several rel . lives
of his uncle's adopted child, caused Lon
don solicitor to be appointed her guar
dian, and raised the plea that the vicomte
wes mad. He also demanded an official
inquiry into the circumstances under
which the will was made, and attempted TO
obtain an indictment against Nine. Sc
bault for abduction. The case tried at
Rheims, turned principally upon the san
ity of the deceased, while the English
solicitor endeavored to make good his
claim to the guardianship of the child and
obtain her release from the custody of the
residuary legatee. The court rejected the
demand for an inquiry, and the will in
favor of the little English orphan, now a
young heiress of sixteen or seventeen and
the posessor of some 100000, was deciar-
ed valid.

Sergeant Mason, who shot at and missed
Guiteau, has served out one year of his
sentence in the Albany penitentiary. Nine
hundred thousand citizens of the United
States are said to have signed petitions for
his pardon, and yet the executive, placed
in power by the assassin, refuses to pardon
Mason. Is the executive so grateful to
Guiteau, who gave him prize IN the lot
terry of assassination, that he is determined
to honor him by Furnishing relentlessly, to
the extreme extent, the man who attempted
to slay him? All the fault loyal people
find with Mason is, that his aim was so
defective.
