The Way to Get Well.
R,st.p CI,ha1

A Boston gentleman who has had the
pneumonia nine different times rises to
explain, in one of our contemporaries,
that he isn't dead yet, and doesn't pro-
pose to be. lie has discovered, he says,
that pneumonia can be successfully bat
tied even without having a physician
instantly on the spot, though it is wise
to call n in as o as possible. Surely
he ought to know.
The experience of this gentleman
seems to show that the mind of
the patient has much to do with
others. During his attacks he has
always gone to work with a determine
ton to get well. Instead OF surrender
ing at discretion, he has put his foot
down firmly and said to the disease,
mo, you don't Life insurance com-
panies rejected him, doctors gave him
up years ago, but he has in every one Of
his nine attacks made up his mind that
he would get well, whether or no, and
he did.
His case certainly offers very strong
evidence that the mind is a Wondrons
physician.

Duke Charles, of Brunswick, who

paper in the last number of Temple

must have been, to say the least Of ii,
exciting. A spring was touched, an
armchair presented itself, and the
caller was whirled round and up into
the ducal ante-chamber. This and the
bed chamber were in solid iron; the
very led was iron. A minute violet
shaped aperture in the wall was the
keyhole OF the recess where the dukes
stronghold, containing precious deeds
and documents, hung over n well many
yards deeper than the first foundations
of the hotel.
The cellars were strongholds like those
Of the Bank Of France. There were
iron cases crammed with guineas, Golfers
untouched since Waterloo, containing
gold pieces Of eight generations of dukes,
and there were thousands of 10 thaler
pieces which had never been put into

William HaineB was shot and killed by

There is much bitter feeling existing against

A few persons dare to believe that his shot
and its effect were intentional and they sup
port this belief by the statement that the
boys were not to exceed ten feet distant from
him when he fred, and he being above them
could have more easily ranged the shot so

upon them, and further that If be only in
