tEx-President Arthur always be-
lieved himself to be an excellent law
yer" says Clark Montgomery, of
Ohio. He often said to his friends
that he had neglected his legal prac-
.tice almost entirely for politics and
that he greatly regretted it. In his
younger days when he commenced
life he was regarded as an excellent
speaker, possessing many of the
characteristics of eloquence and ora
tory. When he left the Presidency
he believed himself to be yet young
enough to make reputation as q
counselor and barrister. Unfortun-
ately for him, however, his habits Of
life had been such as to undermine
his magnificent constitu ton; hence
no one can say whether his own be-
liefs in his own abilities as 8 lawyer
would have been justified by results"

men.

LOUISVILLE KY, Aug. 14.-The plant of
the Kentucky distilling company, OF which
M. Julius Barkhouse is president, was en-
tirely destroyed by fire to-day. The fire
was the result of carelessness on the part Of
colored man who was assisting the watch
man in arranging barrels Of whisky in the
warehouse.
The building together with the whisky
was soon consumed, and the fire spread to
other buildings, then to the main building
and afterward communicated to the Great
Western pork house of Conrad & Letter,
which was totally destroyed, including all
of the cattle and hog pens and the stock Of
meat.
The loss to the pork packing company
will be about $4,000. The remaining loss
of nearly ii not quite $500, 900 is on the dis
tillery proper and destroyed whisky.
This loss is divided among twelve
whisky firms for whom Julius Barkhouse,
as president Of the Kentucky Distilling
company, manufactures whisky. These
firms are the Kentucky Distilling company,
Max Hofheimer & Co., S. Lehman G. Sons,
J. M. Miller & Co.. Bernheim Distilling
company, Victor Distilling company, Buck,
Frank g. Co., Kentucky Blue Grass Distill-
ing com pany, and J. G. Marks {, Co. These
twelve firms had among them in the ware
house %, III packages, mostly in barrels, or
l, 100, 1877 gallons. This whisky is valued at
500, 600 in round numbers.
The machinery and other contents of the
building bring the total of the distilling
coInpany's loss up to $SOO,OOO. This is ire
spective Of the loss to the government in
unpaid taxes, 80 cents gallon on which
will amount to 1881, 635, making the total
900. The insurance is roughly placed at
500, 900.

Unconscious Hypnotism.

ollSOilSClOAS ny pIlOIISllls
London (Ont.) Corr. Toronto Mail.
A strange case of hypnotism is re-
ported in this city. The medium is
woman 40 years of age who has lost
her reason, and it is therefore believ-
ed that she is acting unconsciously
upon her victim, a young lady Of
about 20 summers. The two are
neighbors, living on opposite sides OF
the same street, and it appears that
some two months ago, when the
medium was taken i'll, the young
woman waited upon her, until atlast
she could not stay away, and was
constantly running across the road
to the house. She became so bad in
this particular that one night,
unknown to the people of tn
house, she stayed all night, and when
an attempt was made to arouse her
in the morning it was found impossi-
BILE. Her body was pinched, and
even a needle had no effect. Walk
ing her on the floor was also tried
without success. She was in a state
of lethargy from which all the efforts
of the neighbors could not awaken
her, and q doctor was summoned.
His skill was at last successful, after
she had slept about twenty -four
hours. It is said that if the medium
was not a crazy person she could
either have aroused the young lady
from the stupor or else have followed
up the work with suggestions to her
victims mind; but she was uncon-
scious of anything wrong, apparent
~. The neighbors, however, have no
doubt as to her being the individual
who is causing all the trouble. The
girl says she knows nothing OF what
goes on while under this wonderful
influence. She experienced no pain of
any description when being pinched.
She had been several times put to
sleep, but not for such long periods
as the one mentioned. The subject
of this power is in fair health other
wise, and also very intelligent At
present she is under the care of friends
constantly, and is kept perfectly
quiet. 1t is expected she will be able
to throw off The influence this time,
but as a severe shock to her nervous
system is almost sure to cause re-
lapse she will always in future be
more susceptible to nlesmeric infu-
ences.
