are greatly excited over the strange actions
of young lady who is at present stopping
at the residence Of her uncle. II appears

pen and paper, requested her to vits

note TO an absent friend, correct In svesy
respect, although her eyes At the same ims
were closed. A singular fact was that the
writing throughout was excellent, the words
being written precisely along the lines. Al
times she converses while in this state quite
freely aud correctly. Recently, though ex-
hibiting the same symptoms, she has kept
her eyes open, which, however, only give
vacant stare. On one occasion while start.
ing out for drive she became unconscious
and the next moment revived, only to be be
found in her old state She was asked 70
drive, and a, the bidding Of . friend took
the reins. On returning home she became

A Great Deed.

WASHINGTON, July l7.-Gcorge Kcnnan,
the eminent Geograp pher and Artic student
says the accomplishments OF Lieutenant
Greeley are most wonderful That no set
of men ever spent two consecutive winters
and part of tnird in so high a latitude
without loss Of life. Had Greeley received
that aid aud support which he had right to
expect, and had stores been left for him as he
had been informed they would be, he and
all his men might have safely returned to
this country. The fact that ships were
within thirty miles of Greeleys permanent
camp and left nothing is a startling com
mentary on the incapacity and criminal ig-
norance of Washington navy officials.
Greely's records and observations will be
the most valuable contribution to Arctic
knowledge given to the world this century.
