4 California Romance
y correspondent Of the Cincinnati IL
min. furnishes tic fnllGWing:

! correspondent Of the Cincinnati IL
g,trer furnishes the following:
Twenty five or thirty years ago. I think,
at Marysville, California which was then
an established vet Shanty-hkc town, lived
Judge stephen Field, and in his law office
was young fellow named George e Cor
ham, who boarded with a plain family,
and at the table another guest vas 1IcTlu,
WclSh-looking stranger. In the same house
or the next house lived an IriShuan named
Murphy, who had a bright Interesting
daughter but he was fond Of padding her
when ANYTHING went wrong with him.
This padding had been going on some
time, and one day the boarders held an IN
dignation meeting, and resolved TO 60 next
door and see Old Murphy, ana tell him II
he did not stop correcting the child on
every and all occasions they wOuld take
him down to the stream and duck him.
None of the guests were especially brave,
but they put ON a very brave front and held
the indignation meeting Several years
afterwards, one these parties, Field, was
called to be Justice Of the Supreme Court.
Still later by several years the Republicans
in California nominated Gorham for Gov
ernor, and they put on the ticket with him
the present United States Senator, Jones.
When Jones met Gorham, he said " Are
you the little fellow from Long Island who
boarded at Marysville with me? Don I
you know ne?" No, I don t think do. -
Why, I'm Jones, the Welsh-loollihg fell
low who formed one of the posse to so in
and make old Murphy stop keeping that
child from screaming" They shook hands
warmly, and Jones said: Gorham, do
YOU know what has become OF that Mary
Murphy" No" Why, she Is now
\
says that consequently there met at Wash
ington City, Jones and Sharon in the
United States Senate, Gorham, Secretary OF
the Senate, and Field on the Supreme
Bench-all brought out OF that boarding
house. Mary Murphy grew up to oe an in
teresting woman, and the padding was
only temporarilv Instantaneous.

Magnetism as a HeaIiug Agent.

Numerous experiments have been made
for the purpose of determining the iniiu-
ence OF magnets upOn the human body.
The first experiments made were conducted
in Paris nearly q century ago. a man by
thename o. Mcsmcr protested to have OBJ
tanned remarkable results from the use OF
large magnets. The French Academy APP
pointed committee to investigate the mat
Ter, one member Of which was the eminent
Benjamin Franklin. The committee found
that some effects were apparently produced
by the magnets but when the magnets
were replaced by blocks Of wood resembling
them, the effect continued the same as be
fore leading them 10 the conclusion that
the results apparently obtained from the
magnets We're really the work OF the lmagl-
nation Of the patients. Numerous expert
ments have since been made in the same
line and some persons have claimed results
from the use Of magnetism; but II Is by
no means established that the magnet
is Of any remedial value whatever.
Professor CHARIOT, OF Paris has been quoted
as recommending the use OF magnets, and
We saw small magnet IL use III ms clinic
