LITERATURE.

ILLUSIONS: A psychological Study. By
James Sully. Complete in two parts.
Part first. Price, 15c J. Fitzgerald,
publisher, 20 Lafayette Place, New
York.
The alterations of the mind al
ways possess a very deep interest
whether they assume the form of
insanity or only indicate departure
more or less wide from the assumed
normal mental constitution. The
present work is strictly popular in
its character, and gives very clear
insight into the curious phenomena
which occupy the disputed border
land lying between entire sanity of
mind and insanity. Illusions OF the
senses and the illusions of dreaming
are here traced to their physiological
causes, and many of their most
difficult problems solved. The many
narratives OF singular cases, and
many of their most difficult prob
lens solved. The many narratives
of singular cases of illusion con-
tanned in this book, wolfe strictly
authentic, are Fstranger than fc-

THE ROCK ISLAND.

We remember some time ago Of read
ing about q mill in which was posted up
notice as follows: Don't monkey with
the buzz saw when in notion We
were reminded of this by an incident
which happened at a recent meeting of
the Iowa Pool Line railroads in Chicago.
The Pool Is composed OF the various
roads which run from Chicago IL Council
Blntfs-Chcago & Northwestern, Chica>

Quincy, and the Wabash. Tic represen>
tativcs Of one of the roads made charges
against Mr.. L. St. John. general passen-
ger agent of the Rock Island of irregu,
laritg in business methods. Mr. st. john
was absent at the time and considerable
was said in the papers ahout how the
Rock Island was working to beat the
pool, bun upon his return he at once took
up the matter and issued quite a lengthy
rs well as spicy circular in which he
goes through" the allegations made
against him and the alligator very
much as buzz saw would 60 through the
person who was so foolish as to mark
ey' with it when it was in motion. 1t is
our opinion that the roads making and
attempting to sustain the charges against
Mr. st. John found him decidedly in mos

stir him up they will feel like taking the

that now post was necessary, the refusal of
the house to establish it was a virtual de-

the raiohstag to give him what he asked A

HANGING in Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, Dec l John B. Hoffman,
the murderer Of his two sons, paid the pen
atty of his horrible crime at 10:1l o'clock
Friday morning. He asked for his breakfast
at S o'clock, of which he partOok i'll bust

was ciosete1 with priest alone. Sheriff
Hawkins arrived at the jail few minutes
after 900 o'clock, and the deputy sheriff al

adjust it to the gallows beam. Over
$50 persons were present. More constantly
arriving. At 1907 the procession come out
and assembled the steps to the gallows. Hofr-
man wept saying; "Oh my God ooh my
God" Isn't this enough" He was given
chair because he was too weak to stand, and
kept moaning all the time. The priest CON
soled him until he became more calm. The
priest said a short prayer. just before step
ping on the trap Hoffman said; "Now I'm
satisfied. You can take my life"
After prayer, he was led on the
trap supported by deputies; his feet
were placed in position by one deputy, an
other supported him. Just before the moose
went over his head he said: "Gentlemen,
goodbye" in broken English, hardly under

IT is said that the latest wrinkle in
Spain is to have women bull fighters, in
stead of men 1t must be noble sight to
see one of those dark eyed females in the
ring facing a mad bull, but how different
would be the scene if one Of our Ameri>
can girls should attempt it. The sight
would bring tears to eyes that never wept
before. If any one has ever seen an
American girl climb rail fence at the
sight of a COW in an adjoining field, they
can form some idea of what she would do
if brought face 10 face with a mad bull.
No wall would be to high for her to
climb, and you can gamble on it that she
wouldn't let any grass grow under her
feet while getting into the next county.
OF course there are some girls, like Lulu

THAT JEFFERSON DAVIS LETTER.

clsin of the Southern President.
WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. I7-Gen. Shar,
man has in his possession letter signet by
Alexander H. Stephens, vice president OF the
late Centederacy, addressed to Hon. II. V.
johnson, of Georgia. and dated Crawforls-
vile, Ga, April s, 1864 Gen. Sherman states
that it was loaned to him by Dr. H. c. Rob
bins, of Creston, Ills, who obtained it on
Mr.. Johnson's premises in Georgia in 1864,
while surgeon of the One Hundred and First
Illinois infantry.
Mr.. Stephens letter is in reply 10 one in
which Mr.. johnson demonstrated with him
for his supposed antipathy to Presid mt
Davis. Mr.. Stephens denies such feeling
and says that in criticizing the act suspend
ing habeas corpus he had been actuated by
general principles. He goes on to say that
his feelings toward Mr. Davis are more
akin to suspicion and jealousy than of ani-
mostly or hate
'1have regarded him, he says, "as man of
good intentions, weak and vacllating. aH
now heginniDg to doubt his good intentions.
My reasons are these: since his first eleya-

former states rights principles as i'll the case
or consumption. Ills whole pOIcy-the CT

perfectly consistent with the hypothesis
that he is aiming at absfute power
Not word has come from him
showing disapproval Of the military usur-
patton in the orders tor martial law by
Bragg and Van Dorm. Again,
it is well known that the subject of a
dictatorship has been mooted, talked of and
discussed in private and in the public
journals and that the most earnest advocates
of such Il course have been editors near him.
editors Of journals recognized as organs of
the administration. These are bad signs.
They should put the country on its guard.
Mr. Stephens goes on to say that his in
dignation is for the policy, not for the man.
He again speaks of Mr. Davis weakness and
imbecility, and says he has no more feeling
of resentment toward him for these defects
than toward his poor old blind and deaf dog.
He says not one-tenth of the people approve
the acts of the administration.
