Every person who has ever seen
Jimmy Kane, the sporting man, now
on trial at. Pittsburg for murder, has
experienced great surprise when told
that be is but 35 years of age. His
hair is perfectly white, and his face
almost as ancient looking as
that Of an old maid. His friends give
a wonderful reason for bis aged APP
pearance. About fifteen years ago,
while Jimmy and party Of friends
sere looking through a cemetery back
Of Pitlsburg they came to large
vault, the door of which was open.
Jimmy stepped into the place, when
one OF his friends closed the door after
him. They all then walked away,
thinking he would soon follow. They
were not aware that the door fastened
with a spring lcck. Jimmy remained
in the vault until the next AFTERNOON
When at last be was released it was
discovered that his hair bad turned
gray, and that he had, in fact, aged
forty years in that one night. The
little man who feareo no human beng
aud who has the reputation of the
hardest rough-and tumble fighter in
the country, succumbed TO fear when
locked up with the dead lie ha- a
strong dislike to speak Of that night,
but says that bis experience was terri
bic that all night be fought the rats,
and that he was about to give up hopes

The Last Brigadier.

The Savannah Nees says: The last
brigadier-general appointed under the
Confederate government is now carry
ing on saddlery and harness business
in this city. Colouel Peter McGlashan
enjoys the distinction of having been
the last brigadier whose commission
was signed by President Davis. The
commission was signed just before the
fall of Richmond, and was never deliv-
cred Colonel McGlashan, though a
general by right, has never seen the
record of his promotion. A native Of
Scotland, he came to this country and
settled in Thomasvile about 1850.
When the war broke out he entered
the confederate service as a lieutenant
in the Thomas County Rangers. He
was brave soldier and soon after he
entered the army became colonel of the
Fiftieth Georgia regiment. At the
second battle of Cold Harbor, IN 1864,
be led his command through the thick
est of the fight, and for gallantry in
repulsing federal attack. was recon-
mended by General Good Bryan for
promotion. His commission, though
made out and signed, did not reach his
hands. Mr. Davis, when last in Savan
nah, asked very kindly after Colonel
McGlasban, and spoke in terms OF
praise OF his gallant conduct in the
long and terrible struggle.

Was 1t Case Of Teiepathy?

The subject Of telepathy or the action OF
one mind upon another, irrespective Of dis
tance, is attracting attention in Philadelphia
as well as in London A singular incident
occurred few evenings since, which shows
that if there is nothing in telepathy there IS
at least something queer in condolences. DR..
J. j. Levick was sitting in his library talking
with friend, and incidentally the subject
turned upon telepathy He haa been illus
trating it by anecdotes of what he had no
ticed in hospital practice, and in this way
the subject of the great fire of 1850 in Phila-
delphia was brought up He spoke of the
fact that it originated from the explosion Of
saltpetre in Brooks warehouse, and re-
marked: This gave rise to the question,
will saltpetre explodei' He had not spoken
or thought of this matter before for twenty
years.
The conversation reverting to telepathy il
was explained by saying: Now, if what we
are talking about should be interesting to an
other mind, as there is nothing to suggest it,
that would be telepathy." The conversation
broke up about midnight, the friend going
home and DR.. Levick retiring. The next day
each accidentally took up an evening paper
and read the following paragraph There
used to lie much-ve1ed question in Philadel.
phia as TO the explosive nature of saltpetre,
growing out Of the explosion at Brooks store,
in Water street, in 1850 Now that brewery
has been blown up by an explosion Of oat meal,
the old question comes up in new form:
will lager beer explodefn While they were
talking some one, unknown to either Of them,
was penning the paragraph in question -
