appearance in Winona county, Mimi.
1t comes in the form Of caneer-like
sores on the feet, legs or head, and
sometimes on other parts of the body.

it has been running but very short
time, $4,000 worth Of hogs have died
already from its effects in that county.
As yet there is no known name or
remedy for the disease.

WHEN TELEGRAPHY WAS NEW.

How the Emperor Of Austria Looked It
the Thing and Waltxe,i Away.
Soon after the patents were issued to
Morse, and their adoption and use set
tied as certainty, scheme was got up
to send over persons to introduce the
system in Europe. Among the diplo.
matte corps representing the empire Of
Austria in Washington, young man
named l. q. Fleischman was selected,
and an outfit of instruments, wires and
batteries prepared and given to him.
In due time Fleischman turned up in
court OF Ferdinand l., Emperor Of
Austria, and arranged for time when
royalty would condescend to look at the
American invention. The day was set.
Dukes, Counts, and Barons were assem-
bled. The master Of ceremonies were
to give the word when the experiments
should begin. No signal was given,
and the telegraph man began to be un-
easy. They were waiting for the EN-
peror. At last q stir was noticed, room
made, and to the surprise of the opera
tor there danced into the room slight
figure clad in looee-fitting short gray
coat. His hair stood straight up. He
wore some kind of low slippers, and
with his hands behind his back skipped
into the room humming something like
q fishers hornpipe, to which he was
stepping time. This was the Emperor
Of Austria. As he approached the
stand upon which the telegraph in
st.ument was placed, his idiotic looks
were revealed. He skipped up to the
table, bent over until lis nose nearly
Touched the instrument, said: "Ai,
very fine, very fine," and turning
quickly waltzed out without giving
File schman time to say one word in
+. ference to the matter.
The royal gathering looked at one
another with knowing glances, and
many Of them seemed quite confused.
After this mockery Of power had left,
Prince Metternich, the soldier and
statesman, who was considered to be
the shr~ widest politician in Europe from
the beginning Of the present century up
to tho time of his death in 1S48, APP
preached the young electrician, in COM
parry with the Archduke John, and
asked many questions as to its II ility
practice. The Archdukc John was at
that time "inter-mistic ruler" of Ger
many (that is, referee in disputes he-
tween the different German States dur
ing a period when there was no EN-
pero-). The Archduke John cared very
little for the claims of royalty. They
We're nothing to him, unless coupled
with dies rving. He had married the
daughter of Postmaster in Tyrol, and
brought his mountain beauty home in
the face Of the protests of all his royal
relations. This experience, as may well
he guessed, with man SO self-willed,
rather increased his natural desire to
advance real merit, and Prince Meter
Mich and himself that evening assem-
bled the general staff of the Austrian
army at the Academy Of Sciences in
Vienna, and had the young electrician
! cture on and explain the Morse sys-
tenn OF telegraphing before them. The
result was an experimental line erected
for army signals, and its general use
speedily following.

What He Got.

A blear-eyed tramp called at
Wabash avenue clearinghouse, where
barrels of defunct hash, meatless bones
and the remains Of seventy-two spar
rows were thrown daily into the back
door receptacle. aud meekly asked for
tombstone lunch, dried beef and
praham-cracker. He was daiven away,
u,.fed. The next house he visited they
were more charitably-lisposed. He was
rewarded with o piece of an eight-day
tripe and burnt biscuit. He thanked
the no tess for her kindness and re-
marked: ""Tis better to have this than
what got next door"
what did they give you?"

Mistaken Notion Concerning Mesmerlsm.

Mistaken Notion Concerning Mesmerism.
In spite of all the recent experiments
as to mesmerism, or trance, and all the
discussion its revival by leading medical
men have induced, there is still wide
spread notion that the power to place
person in q trance condition is some
thing in the nature Of diabolical gift.
A quarter of century ago there were
tramping me smers who invaded every
district, and in country school-houses
and town halls impressed the rural
spectator with o sense of the inspira-
tional character of their operations.
The operator was supposed to have an
excess of "animal magnetism" which
passed from his fingers and made the
subject his slave. Like all other SEN
satiors, it wore itself out, and the
tramping mesmcr became Gall or
SDurzheim, and felt of cranial bumps,
and wrote out flattering accounts of
organs for the ready dollars of the
credulous. Within half dozen years
attention has been recalled to the
allnost-forgotten nesmerism by the ex-
periments in the Paris hospitals aud
afterward in New York. It las been
found that the *hypnotized" person
has always peculiar nervous status.
In perfect health the operation is not
possible. The operator is not running
over with "animal magnetism" he has
not a gift" he is not remarkable
person at all, and in fact, is not essen
t:al to the process. Any person can do
with the subject what any other person
can There is no need of contact and
passes. 1t has been shown repeatedly
that the concentration of the subjects
attent.o on to bright object, as q button,
is all that is necessary. The so-called
hypnotic state is the suspension of con-
seriousness. The so-called mind, which
is combination Of activities, is deprived
of the influence of consciousness and
operates by suggestions. Hypnotlsm is
understood only as far as ether mental
states are understood. It is full Of
promise to the Psychologist and will
undoubtedly lead to better under
standing Of mental operations.-Mil-

The North American expresses its
opinion of the situation of the color
ed people, in a statement relative to
their course of action in Iowa, as fol-
lows:
The colored people of Iowa are so
much alarmed at the abrogation of
the Civil Rights bill, or rather of its
first two sections, that they are peti-
tioning the State Legislature to come
to the rescue by turning the clauses
which the Supreme Court has avoid
ed into a local statute. If the Iowa
legislators see fit to act upon that
suggestion, no one outside of the
State will have any reason to COM
plain, but at the same time it may be
doubted whether the negroes are well
advised in making the demand. 1t
is not good policy for them to draw
attention to their inferiority in this
or any other way. They had much
better show an Independent spirit,
and instead of asking for special pro-
lection on account of their color, be
content to stand upon their rights as
men and citizens. They are foolish
to admit that they need anything
more than the legal equality which
they have already secured.

The Fenians have taken to blow
ing up buildings, and underground
railroads in England. On the last
day of October they exploded some
sort of an internal machine in an un
derground railroad, in London, where
by 2S persons were injured. Fen
ians in America declare that it is the
purpose of the Fenian Brotherhood
to blow London to pieces if the Brit
ish do not change the policy of gov
ernment in ireland. Wouldn't it be
better for the Irish to emigrate than
to precipitate such a state of affairs
If they begin the business of blowing
up British cities, thousands of inno-
cent people will of necessity suffer,
and their suffering will cause the
whole civilized world to declare
against them. Instead of awakening
the sympathy of the world in their
favor it will be turned against them.
But the Irish and British for it.

Taking notebook from his pock-
ct Bonsall wrote: ssThis man does
not think you want to marry me,
and showed it to the girl
She instantly took the pencil and
underneath the query wrote: "Oh,
yes, love him and must marry him
at once; now"
The minister then made them hus-
band and wife, but it was not until
the last word was spoken that the
groom put up his revolver. The
girl gave the minister S5, and he
drove away to tell his strange story.
On Friday he learned who the girls
uncle was and went there to inquire
whether the marriage was known to
him. MIR. Fletterman was not at
home and MIR. Hoechler went away,
promising to return in the evening.
SEARCHING FOR THE BRIDEGROOM
In the meantime Miss Kline, who
had returned home after her mar
riage on Thursday afternoon, fed
from her uncle's house, taking with
her all her jewelry and $165. When
Mr.. Fletterman heard the minister s
story that evening and learned of his
niece's elopement he consulted the
authorities and learned that three
warrants charging ''The Professor
with robbery had been issued in Leb-
anon earlier in the week. The story
of Miss klines marriage spread rap
idly. She and Bonsall were seen
near Womelsdorf in a wagon ON Fri
day night, and on Saturday Mr. Flet-
terman, Constable Schwartz and two
other men, who were promised $50
if "The Professor" was captured with
their assistance, started in pursuit.
No further trace of the missing girl
could be found, but the pursuing
party learned that Bonsall and vag
abond, known as Horse" Spiegle,
had been in Womelsdorf that day
Their trail was found, and after a
chase of four miles Bonsall and Spie-
gle stopped, and the pursuers saw
''The Professor draw his pistol and
covered himself with tree. The
Constables party halted and unlimb-
cred their firearms. Between thirty
and forty shots were fired and then
the official party retreated in good
order. Bonsall is now in the noun
tains, and it will be difficult to effect
his capture. Mr.. Fletterman said
to-day that lie would lodge The
Professor in the Jail if It cost 81, 900
to do it 1t is the general impress
sion here that before taking to the
mountains Bonsall sent his wife to
Philadelphia, where he intends to join
her as soon as he can eiude the coun-
try officers who are after him.

A FRENCH journalist says: A small
forehead and heavy jaw are found
after a study of the skulls of assas-
sins to be general characteristics of
the criminal type The test is not
only by direct measurement of the
frontal cerebral curve, which gives
101 millimetres for assassins as a.
gainst Ill for Parisians as rule, but
also by summing up the several auri-
cular angles, which give like result.

in assassins and Parisians is repre-
