Among tho dependencies of Holland
there is a remarkable little State which,

dreams of the advocates of women's
rights. In the Island of Java, between
the cities of Batavia and Samarang, is
the kingdom of Bantnam, which, al
though tributary to Holland, is an indie.

deed, a man, but all the rest of the gov
ernment belongs to the fair sex. The
king is entirely dependent upon his

without exception, of the female sex.

snapped up by Mr.. Henderson. He
died. Returning to Ohio, her native

Mrs. johnson then took Mr.. Dixon.
He died. Again the widow goes to

up this time by Mr.. Maybury, and they
move to Indiana. The ague killed him.
The much-tried widow returns to Ohio,
where Henry Ladd brother of her Sec

She now takes a rest for four years, and
then becomes Mrs. Upton. He died.
She now went on her farm and proceeded

The Mind Cure.


Boston's latest craze, mind cure, has
appeared in New York, says writer in
the Brooklyn Eagle. No less than three
Of the disciples of the new system have
moved to New York, and two of them
have set up gorgeous establishments up
town. They all use the prefix doctor"
before their names, and their establish
ments are run in every way like those of
prosperous physicians of the old school.
One of them, on Madison avenue, is
reaping a harvest. He charges SO a visit,
has handsome brougham, liveried
man In the hall, and all the other acces-
sories of fashionable doctor of medi-
cine. These men are rapidly building
up boom in the line of quackery. Mrs.
Frances Hodgson Burnett, the novelist,
who has written one good novel, "That
Lass o. Lowrie's," and one weak play,
"Esmeralda," and gained considerable
lame thereby, is the most prominent con-
vert the mind cure people ever had. They
have been using Mrs. Burnett's name ever
since she was cured or converted by them
as sort of trade mark, and, as the gem
eral opinion among women seems to be
that whatever cures Mrs. Burnett must
be efiicacious, the mind cure people find
the use of the novelist's name very profit
able. / called on the Madison avenue
men just to see what the much talked of
mind cure was. In the first place the
man was as arrant and transparent fraud
as | have ever met. He was a long
bearded, hollow-eyed and affected crea.
ture who could not talk dramatically, or
express two ideas consecutively in any
thing like an Ineligible manner. He
not only does not know how he cures
people-if he does cure them-but he
also has not formulated any theory by
which he can account for his assurance
in accepting money from people for al
legged services rendered. He sat
like Napoleon in a chair, while
he talked to me in the most pompous
and STACEY manner, and spoke somewhat
as follows: I'm the-a--first place it is a
matter of somewhat extreme difficult
ness to account for my treatments. Firstly,
disease doesn't exist. If man has a
boil it is because he thinks he ought to
have it, and not because he really has it.
l devote my intensest mental activity to
bear on that mans mind and that cures
his mind OF the delusion, which is that
he really has got boil. After his mind
has been cured this here boil of his cures
ITSELF" If this is fair specimen of the
mind cure disciples of Boston, / am
rather surprised at the extent of the
craze there. The mind cure business is
the silliest humbug of all the forms of
quackery that flourish in New York.

THE STORM.

Ye hills and dales and rocks Of ages,
Ye mighty lakes and Doundiess seas,
And tempest dread, wnIcn granny RACES
Ger hearts oppressed with fierce oecroes;
Proclaim from whence, ye powers stupendous,
Proclaim from whence your uerrors roar,
Lashing the world with thews tremendous,
Dashing mad seas from shore TO shore.
My soul is wrapt in stygIan wonder
Der lurid bursts and tongues Of fire,
As demons rend the vault asunder
With rumblings vast and thund'rings ride
Now madly sweeps the wilc tornado,
With lightning on his streaming hair;
Now sovereign swells the fell cruzado
Along the wing'd cimmerian air.
Erebus black outpours his legions,
Convolving on the lightning's beat,
Then plunging into goddess regions,
To gambol in the rolling heat.
The North and West in awe augmentln,
A huge Colossus rears his form
And, to the furies mad consenbing,
He lifts the foodgates of tho storm
My life takes wing and upward charges
The demons red to battles wage;
Valor the bounds of earth enlarges,
And high transcends tine fury's rage
From center wild to whirling border
The furies reek and rush in pain
While teens the spheres in crazed disUrusr,
Till hels are quenched In torrent rain.
Without the cross there's no apprizernent
In sun or sky, on land or sea;
Like man, all things need Gods chastisement'
To Him all worlds must bend the knee.

peacefully, quietly, religiously, prepar-

lightning Rods for Human Beings.

Mr.. p. b. Delany of this city, inven-
tor of the wonderful synchronous tele.
graph system, has recently patented
lightning rod for the human body. It
consists of a large copper wire that
passes down the back, with branches ex.
tending along the arms to the hands,
and along the legs to the exterior of the
shoes and to metal soles thereon The
wearer if provided with this rod may, il
standing on the ground, handle cleo
tric light wires with impunity; and if
out in thunderstorm, would stand a
good chance of not being hurt if his rod
were struck by lightning. Mr., Delaney
ought to carry a branch of his rod up
the back Of the neck. and have il con-
meet with point on thehelmet of the
policemen, and so give them protection.

The Dead Sea Of the Nest

The famous Dead Sea of the West,
Mono lake, situated in Mono County,
California, is thus described by writer
N the San Francisco Chronicle It's water
is so strongly impregnated with alkalies
that the hand held for few minutes in
it will crack open and the skin will be
eaten OIL. No living thing exists in it,
though it is said that often, after strong
winds have blown across its surface,
there is layer of worms several feet
wide on its leeward shore. 1t cleanses
cloth dipped in it almost instantly and
if they are not as speedily removed does
worse. Its shores are barren, bleak and
lonely in the extreme, bordered by a
soil that will grow nothing but the
scrubbiest of sage-brush. In the pros
porous times of Bodie steamer piled on
the lake, but it is now laid up in ordi-
nary. The length of the lake IS about
thirty miles and its greatest width about
eighteen miles Seen from this magui-
ficent point, surrounded by the Sgreat
walks of Bloody Canyon, it is one of the
noDlest views on earth, but at the same
time it only proves to one who has been
about its shores and toiled across the de
serted and sandy interval to the wei
come loot of the Sierra, with even no
better way across than the Bloody Can
yon, that truly "distance lends enchant-
ment to the view"

How Clay Won n Picture.

Senator Beck, of Kentucky, went to
school as a boy at college near Ashland.
the residence of Henry Clay, and he de.
scribed the other night a visit which a
number of the college boys once made
upon the old statesman. Said he, Gas
Mr.. Clay rose to meet us his face shone
with smiles, and every boy in the party
was straightway his friend. In the course
of the talk he asked us what we thought
of his pictures. There was q number,
some paintings and some engravings,
hanging upon the walls in different parts
of the room. We finally decided upon
one, the picture of woman holding a
bowl of steaming mush in her hand as
the finest one in the collection. AS we
did so, Mr.. Clay laughed and said: Yes,
boys, l think you have picked out my
best picture, and as you have done so
must tell its history. l got that picture
at Client, and in a curious way. Albert
Gallatin, John Quincy Adams and myself
were there making the treaty, and Mr..
Gallatin and myself took chances in a
picture rattle. My prize turned out to be
that picture, pointing to an inferior en-
craving on the other side of the room,
and Gallatin got this. Now Gallatin
knew very little about art, and l did not
know very much, but L could see at
glance that his picture was far better
than mine, and that 1 should be laughed
at if we took the pictures home and COM
parisons were made. l saw that must
get hold of Gallatin's pictures, and
said to him: MIR. Gallatin, these two
pictures were made to match each other,
and the man who has one ought to have
both. Now l will tell you what 1 will
do. l will put my picture against yours
and we will play game of cards for
them. The man who wins shall take
both pictures, and you may name the
game
Mr.. Gallatin thought moment,
consented, and said "seven up, and, I"
continued Senator Beck, 81 can hear
Henry Clays hearty laugh now and see
his smile of intense merriment as he
concluded. AS soon as Gallatln said
''seven up" knew l had him. He knew
but little about cards, and l was one of
the best seven-up players in kentucky.
The result was as had anticipated, and
l got the picture. ~ Clereland Leader.
