Mesmerlzed Into Wealth.

An Augusta bank cushion recently
told me about queer experience.
There came into his bank a seedy man
with q wild look in his eyes, who said:

The cashier thought he was talking
with an escaped inmate OF the institu-
ton across this river. u guess you We
made mistake" said he. Then his
VISITORS eyes began to roll strangely;
he rubbed them with his hand, and .
sheepish expression came over his face.
What what's the matterp' he asked.
A moment later it came out that the
man had been mesmerized, had been
made 10 believe that he was rich, and
had recovered himself in the bank.

She Saw the Rainbow.

An April afternoon it was, and there
was decided moisture in the air. But
the lovers seemed impervious to the
elements. as they hung carelessly over
the fence of the b;.ck yard, and said
nothing to each other with great alert
ness, for the space of fifteen or twenty
minutes. When at last the young dam
sci re-entered the paternal dwelling
the domestic conundrum she encoun-
tered. was shot off in this summary
fashion:

CURED BY FRIGHT.
An Original Method of Curing Chills and
Fever.

An Original Method of Curing Chills and
Fever.
The physician who believes that
mind and matter act in unison may re-
member how that truly celebrated
great man. Boerhaave, on q certain
occasion, cured the ague. That COM
plant was very prevalent in his neigh.
borhood, and he had treated it with
Indifferent success, when his noble
conceptions of the united agency of
mind and matter suggested the fol-
lowing treatment: He desired about
a dozen patients, whose fit of the ague
came on about the hour of the merid-
ian, to come to him at ten o'clock.
They were shown into the same room,
and after a little while were informed
that the doctor was busy and would
wait upon them as soon as possible.
At the time the attendant addressed
them he placed a number Of irons in
the fire, which he increased to Il con.
siderable size. After the eleventh
hour the servant again entered the
room, apologied again for the
doctors absence. and turned and
paid great attention to the
irons that were heating. One
of the patients inquired the use of
irons, and was informed that they
were heating for the purpose of an op-
Grafton on the patients who had the
ague. This was soon whispered from
the one to the other. The man had
left the room, the doctor came not; and
more and more were their attentions
directed toward the now red-hot irons,
Surmise and conjecture had a strong
base to play upon; the red-hot irons
were for the ague-patients; every one
felt the coming crisis of his own case.
They looked and walked about the
room; they were soon every one OF
them in violent perspiration; and
the doctor came not until one o'clock,
and the ague-fit came not at all. To
his inquiries he found all we'll; and
the time had passed, and not one had
upon him the symptoms of his CON-
plant. And taking them into anoth-
er room, one by one with care, and
caution, and some trifling medici ne,
he dismissed them. saying that he
hoped they would recover without hav-
ing recourse to any violent remedy. In
truth, agitation had excited that ap-
prehenson which had completely cured
them of their disorder. Y. Ledger.

Disarmine an Unseen Foe.

"This was sometime a paradox" as
Hamlet says. Since, however, the
people of America and other lands
have been enabled to pit Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters against that unseen
foe, malaria, 1t is no longer paradox,
but an easy possibility. Wherever
malaria evolves it's misty venom to
poison the air, and decaying
unwholesome vegetation impreg-
mates the water, there in
the very stronghold of miasma,
is the auxiliary potent to disarm
the foe and assure efficient protection.
Fever and ague, bilious remittent,
dumb ague and ague cake, no matter
how tenaciously they have fastened
their clutch on the system, are first
forced to relax their grasp and even
tually to abandon it altogether. But
it is its preventive force that should
chiefly recommend the Bitters to per-
sons dwelling in malaria-cursed local
tiles, for it is certain buckler of de-
fence against which the enemy is
powerless. Cures, likewise, dyspep-
STA, rheumatism, kidney and bilious

CONCERNING the bill introduced
into the state legislature for the re-
lief of the Texas veterans, the Times
of this city says most justly:
'"There are but few of the defenders
of the Lone Star state left, and it is
but Just that while they are still with
us that they should be provided for
in their old age. 1t is not generosity,
it is justice to give the Texas veterans
a few of the broad acres that they
wrested from the domination of ruth
less oppressors. Let their lives end
peacefully and pleasantly beneath
the shade of the trees where they
fought so hard for freedom
The LIGHT is not supposed to have
very much influence with the legisla-
ture, so universally democratic as is
this present legislature of Texas. All
the same it adds its plea to that of
the Times for all the aid to Texas
veterans that it is necessary to afford
them. These noble, old men, adj
vanced in years. most of them feeble
in body, have claims upon Texas that
have too long been disregarded. 1t is
not creditable to the state that these
old defenders should be per-
mitted to live in poverty and priva-
ton, as the LIGHT knows that some
of them do, while the state they
fought and bled and suffered to re-
deem is adding to her assessable,
values millions of dollars every year.
The time is short in which it is pos
sible to be accomplish anything. The
last one of them will soon be gather
ed to their fathers. Let the action of
the Legislature be prompt and gen.
