A mesmerist named Townsend hired
subjects who presented themselves at
his lectures in Chicago, and, under the
supposed influence of mesmsrism, un-
derwent painful tests. One of them
failed to get his wages. and exposed the
fraud, declaring that the endurance was
due simply to practice and nerve. 10
the presence Of physicians, and without
any ''mesmeri.m," this man was prod
dsd with needles, burned with lighted
cigars, and had cayenne pepper thrown
into his eyes. He swallowed the Bit
terest drugs and submitted to all sorts
OF torture without the slightest percep-
tible tremor, and allowed needles to be
inserted under the finger nails Or thrust
through the tongue without wincing.

A Notable Kentuckian.

General VIM. Preston, of Ken
tucky. is a character. He wa
our Minister to Spain when tn,
war began and afterward chic
of staff to Albert Sidney Johns
ton. He was with that distin
guished Confederate officer wher
he was wounded at Shiloh and
held the chieftain when he
breathed his last. The old Gene
raj naturally has fund of remi.
niscence and experience and de-
MES Beauregard's claim that he,
instead of Johnston, planned the
battle of Shiloh. Preston says:
"That he took the plan of the
battle direct from his chiefs
hands and telegraphed it to Mr..
Davis before General Beauregard
arrived" This whole dispute
about Shiloh, which is very
interesting and important one, is
to receive very heroic treatment
within a short time. General
Grant, General Beauregard and
William Preston Johnson are
each to prepare elaborate papers
upon the incidents and accidents
of that great battle. General
Preston. speaking of that engage
ment said: "rhere were three
battles of the late war, all of them
greater than the battle of Water
loo, Shiloh, Stone River and
ChickaEauga. Each of them
was most stubbornly contested,
and the losses on each side con-
siderably greater than at Water
loo. Shiloh 1 regard in many
respects the greatest battle of the
world. 1t was practically the
crowning glory of American valor.
Here were two great armies of
ra " troops, who met In the shock
of battle and never flinched. 1t
was the most stubbornly contes-
ted battle of modern times. Once,
when Sir Garnet Wolseley, the
present commander of the En-
glish army, asked me at a dim
ner party at Montreal if the South
could not have held out longer, 1
replied: GAS mere matter of
physical endurance, yes; but do
you know, sir, that in the four
years of war through which we
passed, the South alone, with its
few millions of people, lost more
men in battle than England did
in all it's wars from William the
Conqueror to Queen Victoria" /
spoke with some feeling, and it
ended in discussion as to the
reason why the South did not
continue to fight"

It Was Poisoned.

A dispatch from Pittsburg, Pa,
November 18th, says: A des.
perate attempt at murder and
suicide was made by jealous
young woman at Hays Station,
six miles from the city, last even-
ing, About a year ago Jerry.
Diamond. a prosperous young
mechanic, settled at Hays Sta
tion. He conducted himself as a
model husband, hut the wife was
jealous and often upbraided him
for speaking to other ladies Of
their acquaintance. Last even>
ing, when he came home, she
looked as il she had been weep
ing, and was very pale and ner-
vous. She placed the supper on
the table, and, going over to a
side table, poured out a cup of
coffee, which she placed alongside
of his plate. Ke remarked that
she had no place set for herself.
She replied that she did not feel
like eating, and she would go up
and lie down. She then kissed
him tenderly three times. and
said, "Oh, Jerry /! Jerry" and
left the room.
Mr.. Diamond had an evening
paper with him, and concluded
to look over it before eating sup>
per. He had probably been reads
ing ten minutes when he heard
some article of furniture fall
heavily in the supper room. He
jumped up from the table, and,
taking the lamp, ran up stairs to
ascertain the cause. On entering
the back room he was horrlfied
to sea the body of his wife hang
ing suspended with O rope about
her neck to rafter which ran
across the room. while a chair
lay by her side, showing that she
had first stood on the chair, put
the rope in place and afterward
kicked the chair from under her.
Diamond, almost crazed with
fright, did not stop a moment,
but cut the unfortunate woman
down and Immediately proceeded
to restore her to conciousness.
Fortunately life was not extinct
and she was soon restored to con-
sciousness. This was owing to
the fact that one of her feet touch
ed a box lying on the floor, and
as a consequence the whole
weight of her body was not on
the rope.
AS soon as she was able to speak
she expressed regret at having
attempted to take her life, then
suddenly looking at her husband,
she exclaimed: ''Oh, Jerry; God
forgive me; but did you drink
that coffee I gave you?"
"No, dear" was his astuniShed
reply.
"Thank God for that" che
said. "It was poisoned"
Afterward she explained that
she had put two ounces OF lau>
danum in his coffee. She waited
until she thought he had swal-
lowed it and then ATTEMPTED to
hang herself. To-day she was
very much Frustrated, but is ex-
pected tc recover.
