"Ex-President Arthur always be-
ieved 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 a reputation as q
counselor and barrister. Unfortun-
ately for him, however, his habits of
life had been such as to undermine
his magnificent constitution; hence
no one can say whether his own he.
liefs in his own abilities as a LAWYER
would have been justified by results"

Unconscious Hypnotism.

UNCONSCIOUS F1ypnOIISH1.
London (Ont.) Corr. Toronto Mail
A strange case of hypnotism is re-
ported in this city. The medium is a
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 the
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 state
of lethargy from which all the efforts
of the neighbors could not awaken
her, and a 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 offriends
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 a re-
lapse she will always in future be
more susceptible to mesmeric influ-
ences.

TACOMA, Wash, Special Telegram, Aug.
19.-Dispatches to-day from San Francisco
state that some alarm is felt about the gov
eminent cutter Corwin, which sailed from
Port Townsend some time ago. The Cor
win on Saturday received orders to proceed
to Behring sea at once, and is now en- route
to Seattle for coal, after which she will pro-
coed north, first going to Sitka. Capt.
Hooper says he has orders to act under the
first instructions received. These instruc-
lions authorized very vigorous policy,
and were recalled and more conservative
course authorized. When the Richard
Rush sailed, the first orders directed the
captains of the cutters to seize all vessels
where there was any circumstantial evidence
to show that they had been paaching. The
prizes were to be stripped of all bunt-
also to be taken, and only
enough provisions left on board
to last the vessel and prize crew until the
nearest port was reached. The subsequent
orders were that the cutters should serve
all vessels found in the sea with a copy Of
President Harrison's proclamation, and if
the vessel was seen again to capture it. The
to believe, has determined that the more
vigorous policy should be followed, and,
although it is late in the season, all sealing
vessels found poaching are to be summarily
dealt with.
NO ESPECIAL SIGNIFICANCE.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-Assistant Secre-
tary of Treasury Nettleton states that the
