CASTING ONT neuila

WABASH, May 25.-It has just been
discovered that Mrs. Ohm, a widow living
in the vicinity Of Laketon, this county,
processes to enjoy the power of divination,
and has been regularly engaged in the
business OF casting out devils" for some
months past. She is said to have done Il
lucrative business, her patrons taking
good care to maintain the s~trictest silence
respecting their relations with the lady.
II is now learned that a man named
Cinker, acting upon her advice, has
sought to compel 4 man named Click, on
whose farm he held a mortgage, to leave
the country. Mrs. Ohm, upon consulta-
ton, having learned hat a child Of
Clinker, who was very i'll, was bewItched,
and that the spell was due to the malign
presence of Click. She said that Click
must be gotten away at all hazards, other
wise the child would die, and Mr.. Jlinker
has since been asslduous in his endeavors
to secure his removal, going so far as to
begin foreclosure proceedings on the
mortgage. This resulted in the expose of
the whole superstitious affair, and created
a sensation of no small magnitude in the
vicinity Of Laketon.

A ROWLING MOB.
Exciting Times in the Streets
of Paris.
The Police Leave the Commun-
lists to Themselves.
An Ohio Editor Tarred and
Feathered

PARIS, May d, p m.-Te-day's
demonstration OF the Communists in the
celebration of the fall of the Commune
has, up to this hour, been orderly. The
government withdrew the troops and al
lowed the proce~ssionists to march into the
Pere la Chaise cemetery with red flags.
The police also left the Communists to
themselves. Henri Rochefort made his
appearance and was hailed by the para
ders with shouts of -'Vive la Commune. "
The policy of the authorities in simply
ignoring the demonstration is praised.
The Communists, not being opposed, vent
their enthusiasm and alleged bIoodthirsti-
ness in harmless shouts. They claim
however. to have over-awed the authori-
tiet, and boast of their victory"
LATER Eight thousand persons at
tended C~ourvet's funeral. The process
sion was unmolested until about leaving
the cemetery, when the police tried to
capture their flag and dispense the mob.
The changed attitude Of the government
causes serious uneasiness regarding IN
outbreak, the opinion being that the An
archists must be repressed.
1t is asserted tonight that the project
of police will issue an order tomorrow,
prohibiting the carrying Of flags in pro-
cessions.
Grave outbreaks by the Communists
and Anarchists are feared tomorrow and
until after the funeral of Victor Hugo.
The Revolutionists have been worked up
to a very high tate of excitement. 1t is
reported that they intend to erect barri-
cades in the streets.

Catholic resolution is the special order, the
assembly having previously adopted unan-
imously the report of the judicial commit

of the general assembly have left with the
sessions the right to decide upon the valid
lily Of Roman Catholic baptism in particu .
lar cases. This appeal is based on the
requirement of the Princeton church. that
an applicant who has been baptised in the
Catholic church should be re baptised.

sueking -Grasshoppers.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Prof Riley
says seventeen year %locusts, whose visit he
has predicted, are harmless to growing
crops, and do no injury except to twigs of
the forest and fruit trees. Whenever
young orchards have been planted on
land which has been cleared during the
last seventeen years, trees are liable to
suffer somewhat, but it is probable kero-
sene spray will protect them. The ordi-
nary locust which is so destructive to
growing crops, has jaws which cut, while
the seventeen year specie, more properly
called cicada, has only a beak through
which he sucks his n%ourishment.

The present misery of the ancient

among themselves, with bated breath,
as to the value of the investment
when the bag is finally Opened.
These old moss-backs are dreadfully
troubled with the fear that Cleve-

and it is so extremely doubtful now
a-days what a Democrat is, that
their misery is poignant. Formerly,

venerable and venerated confession
of party faith, has made it so doubt

THERE are very good reasons why

Mr., Cox. Of New York, providing
for an Increased tariff on imported
cloaks and wraps, should receive at
tention ard become q law In this
case through a fiagrant lack of fore
sight, the tariff has been so arranged
that while the duty on the cloth Of
which a cloak is made is 81 10, the
duty oa the cloak itseifis only 81 so
which of course places "a premium
on the foreign-made article Under
the stimulus of this extraordinary
arrangement the importations of for
eign cloaks increased from about
