HYPNoT1sM is the latest, pseudo
scientific craze, closely allied to animal
magnetism and mesmerism But it is
more dangerous than either of these
charlatan favorites. The Sun says: An
eminent physician of st. Petersburg
was called to patient, a young lady
of good family, suffering with nervous
prostration On examination he found
that the young lady had taken part in
hypnotic .seances and had been hypno-
tied several times. He reported the facts
to the medical council. A commission of
three eminent physicians examined the
patient and substantiated the fact that
her ailment was due to hypnotic prac
tees. Our advice to those who have
any sort of desire to dabble in hypno-
tism is t. lei it severely alone, or to re-
sort only under the guidance of thor
oughly responsible physicians who
have studied the subject under the best
conditions.

IN the last year OF its life the Sails
bury Cabinet, in England, is to be re-
modelled. The stiffest and sternest
Tories seem to be giving away. The
hot-headed malcontent, Lord Randolph
Churchill, is to be given place in
the government which he has on sever
al occasions tried to destroy. The ven
cradle Mr. Smith, after polishing up the
handle of the big front door so careful
ly for many years, is to be made peer.
Lord Churchill will take hls place as
leader of the House of Commons.
There is no denying that the young no.
bleman will make a livelier leader than
the amiable Smith, and the Gladsto-
mans may expect sharper fighting than
they have been accustomed to of late.
But no amount of changes in the cabi-
net can save the Tory ministry. 1t is
doomed to final defeat as soon as the
voters have a chance at general cleo
ton to declare their will.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 21.-Uncle Sam

timber bonanza on the Northern boun-
Diary of Minnesota has been and is still
being despoiled by Canadian thieves,
who have stolen thousands and thou
sands of feet of timber from under the
very noses of the United States
officials. Secretary Noble, who has
organized an expedition to investi-
gate the extent Of these depredations.
The expedition will consist of four
agents of the government, and with
them will be a considerable force of as
sistants. The expedition Will be started
from Duluth on or about August /, and
will head in northerly direction, it's
destination being the western portion
of the Rainy Lake. In the Big and
Little Rainy Rivers great quantities of
logs are being run into the lake, and
across to the Canadian borders. These
had been cut from government land.
The work has been carried on
under the direction of Canadian half
breeds, Frenchmen and some of the
jewellers on this side of the line. The
special agent estimated that in these
two rivers there were 100000 feet of
logs, and perhaps much more was being
got away with at other points along the
boundary line. These will be seized.

Statement of the Facts of the Lake
Pepin Disaster.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 17-Capt.
Wetheren and six of the crew of the
Inflated steamer Sea Wing, which was
wrecked at Lake City Sunday night, ar
rived in this city yesterday after
noon, and government inspectors
Yeager and Knapp are conducting an
investigation of affairs behind closed
doors. Capt Wetheren and Clerk Niles
have given to the press a statement of
the disaster. They say:
The steamer Sea Wing had been recent
" inspected and found to be in good con-
dition, and with barge she had in COM
pany, was allowed 250 passengers. The
crew of the boat was: Captain, ID. Weth-
eren; mate, M. L. Sparks; clerk,
E. M. Niles; engineer, Will Sparks;
Harry Miles,, West Willie; Charles
Neal, Warren Sparks. There were on the
barge and boat 200 floats, 1877 cork and tule
life preserveIS, and z good Skiffs with %
oars. The boat left Diamond Bluff at 7:40
A. NJ. with eleven passengers, Trenton at
$50, with twenty-five more, and Red Wing
at 10, with ia from that point; total 147
passengers. AS the boat was about to re-
turn from Lake City, there were two
ladies from the steamer Wanderer, and
eight men from the steamer Undine who
wished to take passage to Rec Wing on
the steamer Sea Wing. These, with
about ten more, who were residents of
Lake CITY. and Who wanted to 90 to Red
Wing, came aboard thus the list would
have been about 175, but some few who
came down on the excursion failed to get
back before the boat left Lake City, hence,
the number of passengers. was under Its.
The boat left Lake City at o'clock, and
oh Inc
When the storm struck us the boat was
completely and instantly overturned.
Capt. Wetheren was at the wheel, and did
all in his power to keep the boat headed
into the wind, and remained in the
pilot house until completely submerged;
then broke through the side, and succeed
ed in reaching shore. The engineer stood
at his post until the water filled the engine
room, then made his escape. When the
boat upset there was no water in her hull,
and nothing but the force of the wind up
set her. The barge was not cut loose until
the steamer capSized, and then only to save
it from being swamped also.
The boat was built at Diamond Bluff;
was only three years old, and was all built
new throughout, machinery and all. The
boats tonnage was 100. SO TONS The crew
were all able men, and understood their
business. No liquors were on board, and
none of the crew drank drop
that day, and more, none of the
crew were drinking men. When
the boat left Lake City the storm
seemed to have passed, and the crew
deemed it safe to start. The passengers
also wanted to go, and SO the boat started
out ON her return trip. The life preserv-
ers were such as the Inspector ordered,
and were all in good condition. The boat
was to start back at clock, but most of
the number from Red Wing wished to re-
main until after the dless parade at 7.
Hence the boat delayed until S o'clock be-
fore starting.
