TeIepathy.

A young married lady related 70 me
the following remarkable experience Of
this kind:
Shortly after her marriage she had ac-
companied her husband to India It
was toward the end Of the mutiny, and
she Was separated from him-he being
about forty miles away, and, As she be-
lieTed, in great personal danger. For the
first time in her young life she was leff
alone. One night on retiring TO rest,
feeling far from well, depressed, TOO, by
the sense Of lonlness and by anxiety on
her husbands account, she could not
help crying" and fell, as she thought,
into a troubled sleep, in which she
dreamed or fancied that an elderly gen
tleman who had shown them much kind
ness on their first arrival IN India, bat
who was then residing at = considerable
distance, entered her room, and ap-
preaching her bed, said: NY dear
child, know well what yen are suffer-
ing, and. believe me, feel deeply for
you and that he stopped and kissed
her. Though quite aware, she said, that
it was merely vision, she felt greatly
consoled.
The mutiny ended, she was with her
husband in Calcutta at an evening party,
st which she met their friend. He ex-
pressed his pleasure al seeing her again
after long interval at Is not 50 long,
she replied, since saw you and she
described the vision. With expressions
OF the utmost astonishment, he declared
that be himself had had q similar vision,
or rather dream. Il dreamed that saw
you crying. and tired 10 console you and

Too Clever.

The report that the Tilden viii case
was at an end Was premature. 1t IS q
good deal nearer the front end than the
latter end Once there was a lawyer who
closed .up an estate case, but he died
many years ago. he was a young man.
He had studied law in his fathers once
and his father finally retired and gave
the business to him. One day, less than
a week after the old gentleman had re-
tired, the young man came home and
proudly said:
Father, you know that old Gilpin
estate case that you have been trying for
years and years to settler
~Yes," answered the father, with s
suggestion Of smile.
~Well, It didn't take ne two days to
settle II after got at il.

Strictly veracIous.

A contemporary gives the following
entertaining story Of Mr.. LAbo1ehere,
Mp:
He Was appointed secretary 70 the em-
bassy st COnstantinople, and received
instructions from Lord Hammond, the
permanent under secretary Of state for
foIeign.afairs, TO proceed at once to his
new post This, however, did not meet
the views Of Mr.. Labouehere, and ten
days later Lord Hammond was disagree
ably surprised to see him coolly strolling
down Piccadilly toward the park. The
wrath Of the imperious under secretary
was boundIess, and a few hours AFTER
ward Mr.. Labouchere, whist At dinner at
the ST. James Club, received from the
foreign Office an angry looking letter
bearing Lord Hammond's familiar sig
nature in the left hand corner Of the en-
yelope.
Mr.. Lsbouchere gazed at it for 3 mo-
ment, and then placed it unopened in
his breast pocket. Two minEies later
sudden thought appeared to strike him,
and he ostentatiously transferred the
missive from his breast pocket to bis coat
tail pocket On the following morning
he left London, but instead Of travelling
direct to Constzntinople, he made mis-
way TO Baden Baden, where he remained
a fortnight
One evening, after having exhausted
all his spare cash at heganing tables, be
was strolling through the gardens, when
be suddenly bethought himself Of Ham
mond's letter. On opening It he found
that it contained, as he had expected, 3
furious scolding for having dared to re-
main in London in defiance Of the in
structions which he had received to Join
his post with al speed, and peremptory
orders to proceed to the Bosphorus with
out further delay.

q friend who had accompanied him from
England-~there you see the advantage
