Under a AIesmeric Trance.

The famous experiments performed
many years ago by DR.. Esdaile, in which
that well known surgeon operated on
HinSoos during what was called mes
meric sleep, are now being repeated, and
with, it is said, successful result. The
latest news we have of an operation
under the mesmeric trance is from Paris,
where, in the Hotel Dieu, young wo-
man is stated to have been subjected by
DR.. Mesnet to a painful cutting opera
ton "of the class called dangerous and
requiring great delicacy of manipula-
tion," she being at the time "wholly in
sensible to pain, showing no sign of suf-
fering, and awakening" not from an
anasthetic of the ordinary kind, but
from a mesmeric sleep, wholly oblivi-
Gus to what had taken place" We
want the full particulars of this opera
ton before any satisfactory expression
1a5i be offered in respect to It; but we
may say at once that similar results
have often been reported with little after
effect in the advancement of the sup
posed practice of an8sthesia by Mes
merism. The phenomena are eXcep-
tlonaL 1hey are usually observed IN
persons of hysterical type, and offering
for the moment the greatest hope, are
quashed quickly by the miserable fail
ures with which they are attended so
soon as the mesmeric plan is applied to
patients at large. The fact is that an
aesthesia differs according to constitu-
ton. not largely, but in some instances
exceptionally, to a degree little under
stood by the public generally. There is
q form of hysterical an;esthesia just as
there is of hysterical hypersesthesia,
and when the representatives of the first
class come under the hands of the mes
merist they are such perfect specimens
for his suasion that they give him the
most triumphant returns. These cases
call for a special study in regard to an
esthesia, since until they are elucidated
there can be no sound progress. We
would give an earnest warning on this
matter of mesmeric hypnotism, assuring
our readers that they must not expect
more from it than exceptional results,
and these due not to true anesthesia,
but to individual popularity.

ARMY DOuclii:utS,

A Massachusetts, officer details with
evident enjoyment some foraging ex-
PLOTS of the northern army during Sher.
mans great march. One of these was of
a sort which even the bitterest Confed,
crate might have enjoyed.
One day a forager noticed an orna,
mental shrub growing in yard of red
clay, with marks of black loan on it. II
struck him that it was not in its native
soil, and he went for that bush.
1t easily came out Of the ground, and
the tell tale, came whole stock of pro-
visions and family clothing.
Another of our men, while crossing a
plowed field, was attracted by suspicious
signs, and ran his ramrod into the
ground. A foot down it struck some
thing solid.
The kind hearted finder FASTENED to
make others rich as well as himself. He
ran down to the band with two tin cups
running ever. one with syrup, the other
with peach butter, while the delicious
sweets dripped from his clothing and his
person, as if in confirmation of his pleas
ing tale.

it fer Il calabash of lard, and the usual
batch Of douShnuts was fried that night.
4 peculiar flavor, supposed to be due
to an excess of soda, was noticed; but
hard marched men, with sharkish appe-
tiles, did not stop for triles. Daylight
revealed the fact that the doughnuts had
been fried in soft soap. Com

A French paper notes that the mem
bers of distinguished family of Limou-
sin, when about the age of 20, develop a
round tuft of white hair over the fore
head, albeit the rest Of their hair may
be black, brown or rcd. The portraits
of their ancestors for many generations
past show this distinguished mark, of
which the descendants are not a little
proud. We believe the Orsini family of
Italy are also remarkable for the growth
of a tuft of white hair, characteristic

WASHINGTON, June Z, 1888!

WASHINGTON, June Z, 1899.
The President and the members of his
Cabinet have the greater part Of this week,
been devoting their time and attention to
something greater than making appoint.
ments TO ofice--the relief Of suffering hu
manity. As soon as our people recover from
the shock caused by the news Of the awful
food and terrible loss Of life and prop
erty, in the Conemaugh Valley, Pennsyl-
vania, steps were taken to provide relief
for the suffering survivors. The President
at once put himself in telegraphic CON-
munication with Gov. Beaver to ascertain
the immediate wants Of the homeless
people, in order to give the information
to public meetings over which he
presided. Every member Of the Cabinet
showed himself anxious 10 help in some
way and the feeling extended to the low
est Of the Government employees and
every man, woman and child In the city,
and the result is that Washington has go
far contributed in the neighborhood of
$50,000 cash and several car loads Of
clothing, food and dlsinfectStts; Secre-
tary Proctor has ordered deit:hment of
troops to go from West Point for the pur-
pose oil erecting pontoon bridges; Secre-
tary Tracy has directed the officers In
charge Of Naval bureaus Of food supplies
to honor all acquisitions for food made on
them by the Pensylyanian authorities, and
the President has instructed Surgeon
General Hamilton to assist the Pennsly-
vanian health authorities In their efforts
10 prevent the threatened scourge OF
typhoid fever.
The Civil Service Commission has re-
turned from New York, and made public
its report Of the investigation; II recon-
mends several dismissals, and that one Of
the Custom House officials be prosecuted
In the courts for violations Of section o, Of
the Civil Service law. Two members oi
the Commission - Messrs Roosevelt and
Thompson JEFF for Troy, New York, as
soon as report was finished, to inves.
tigate some alleged crookedness in the
post-office at that place. They expect to
return to Washington the first of the
week, when the entire Commission will
make tour Of investigation in number
of Western Cities from which complaints
have been received The Commission
claims to be greatly hampered by the lack
of sufficient clerical force.
Solicitor Hepburn, Of the Treasury de-
partment has decided that the Catholic
University soon to be established in this
city cannot bring corps Of professors
from Europe without violating the law
the importation Of alien con-
tract labor. Then the foolish law should
be changed as soon as possible.
Acting Land Commissioner Stone
thinks the board Of review, established by
the last administration In the General
Land Office cumbersome and useless in
stitution, and has taken steps preparatory
TO its abolishment by ordering that no.
