HYPNOTISM BY ANIMALS.
Otherwise How Could a Bird be Charmed
by Cat?

The power attributed to the snake
and feline families of charming" their
victims seems to me past dispute, says
a writer in Science. 1t is not merely a
sort of hypnotism. Livingstone tells
us that when at one time seized by a
tiger he felt neither terror nor pain;
all his senses seemed to be benumbed.
Bates, in his Naturalist on the Anna
zon," states that one day in the woods
small pet dog flew at large rattle
snake. The snake fixed its eye on the
dog, erected its tail, and shook its rat
tie; it seemed in no haste to seize the
dog, but as if waiting to put the dog
into a more suitable condition for be-
ing seized. As to the dog, it neither
continued the attack nor retreated,
could not or would not move when
called, and was with diffiulty dragged
away by its master.
/ have seen one case of a snake
charming a bird. but | had better
opportunity to study cat charming a
bird, and probably the process is much
alike in both The cat placed itself
on the outside sill of my window, near
to a pine tree. A bird presently lit on
the pine tree, no doubt not observing
the cat. The cat fixed its attention on
the bird. The cats eyes were widely
opened and shone with peculiar
brightness; its head was raised and
intent, the fur on its neck and about
its face slowly stood up, as if electri-
fled. Except for this rising of the fur
and a certain intensity of life in the
whole attitude of the beast it was as
still as if cut from stone, The bird
quivered, trembled, looked tiXedly at
the cat, and finally. with feeble
shake of the wings, fell toward the cat,
which bounded to seize it.
A lady tells me that she "doeS not
believe that cats can charm birds, be-
cause she has seen cat try to charm
parrot, and the bird. greatly alarmed,
scolded loudly" This proves nothing;
parrots in general, or. more probably,
that particular parrot did not prove 6

1t Cost $4,000.

In museum of curiosities at Salem,
Mass, there is preserved a common
cherry seed or stone, followed and
fashioned like a basket. Within the
basket are twelve tiny silver spoons,
the shape and finish of which can not
be distinguished by the naked eve.
The name of the artist that con-
structed this little wonder has been
lost, but the actual existence of the
thing itself will not be questioned by
any one from the Old Witch head
quarters of the Bay State, SAYS the
Philadelphia Press.
DIR. Peter Oliver, who lived in Eng
land during the early part of the eight
zenith century, tells of seeing carved
cherry stone which would be a wonder
even IN this age of fine tools and fine
workmanship. The stone was one
from a common cherry, and upon it
were carved the heads of 124 popes,
kings, queens, emperors, saints, etc.
Small as they must necessarily have
been. 1t is announced on the authority
of Professor Solver that with good
glass the heads of the popes and kings
could readily be distinguished from
those of the queens and saints by their
miters and crowns. The gentleman
who brought this little wonder to Eng
land purchased it in Prussia, allowing
the original owner $4,000 pounds for
his treasure. Think of it, s25, 900 for

One Indian Race Extinct.

The Bothick Indians of Newfound-
land. AT one time the aboriginal inhab-
itants of the island, can now only be
counted by one or two skeletons and a
few Sculls, so completely have they
been swept away. The French en-
ployed the Mic Mac Indians of Nova
Scotia to fight against and exterminate
them.
According to an account in the late
issue of the transactions of the Cana
dian institute they were a peacable
and quiet race, given to hunting and
fishing. They used canoes made of
birch rind and skiRs of deer. like the
EsQuimauN cayak. They had no pot
terry aud used utensils OF birch rind
sewed together. but they employed
soapstone dishes rs lamps, their form
being similar To those among The ES-
quimauN ut the present day.
They carved deer and walrous horns
and bones of the seal into ornaments,
which they Wore on their dresses and
ornamented their heads with combs.
The carvings are in triangular pat
terms and out of the large collections
IN the museum at II. Johns there are
90 two ornaments having the same
pattern. Their stone implements Were
more rudely constructed than those OF
the western Indians. N. ]. J0arual.

A Manuscript of President Lincoln.

MCncure Conway writes to the n. Y.
Erening Post: Mrs. Helen Clark, of
Millfield, near Street, Somersetshire,
has brief but very interesting manu-
script of President Lincoln, which l
have not seen in print. 1t is a pream-
BILE and resolution suggested by the
President for adoption by meetings in
England. and transmitted to John
Bright (Mrs. Clark's father) by the
Hon. Charles Sumner. The senator's
letter, inclosing President Lincoln's
manuscript, is dated April II, 1868. In
it he says:
1.-TWO days ago the President sent for
me to come to him at once. When |
arrived he said he had been thinking of
a matter on which English opinion
should be directed; and that he had
drawn up a resolution EN- bodying the
ideas which he should hope to see
adopted by the public meetings in
England.
Il inclose the resolution in his auto
graph, as he gave it to me. He thought
it might serve to suggest the point
which he regarded as important"
Whereas, While heretofore States
and nations have tolerated slavery,
recently, for the first [sic] in the world,
an attempt has been made to construct
new nation, upon the basis of, and
with the primary and fundamental OBJ
ject to maintain, enlarge, and perpetuate
human slavery; therefore,
"ResolCed, That no such embryo State
should ever be recognized by. or adj
mitted into, the family of Christian
and civilized nations, and that all
Christian and civilized men everywhere
should, by all lawful means, resist to
the utmost such recognition or admis.
sion"
The above manuscript and Charles
Summers letter,are kept in a frame on
the wall at Millfield.

GALLANT RUFUS CHOATE.


On pretty girl saying to Rufus
Choate, 81 am very sad-yoa-see," he
replied, 40, no; you belong to the
old Jewish sect; you are very tair-I-
see"
Nothing adds so much to the beau
ty of fair girl, as clear, bright,
healthy complexion, and to secure
this pure blood is indispensable. So
many of the so called blood-purifiers
sold to improve rough, pimply,
muddy skin, only drive the scrotul
GUS humors from the surface to some
internal vital organ, and disease and
death is the inevitable result. On
the contrary, DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery strikes directly at
the root of the evil, by driving the
| impurities entirely out of the system,
and with fresh stream ofpure blood
flowing through the veins, nothing
| but the softest and fairest of com
plexions can result.

DUTCH WEDDING OVER IN IOWA.
DOW the Fantastic Bridegroom Delivers
the Invitations.

"HochZeit." "Hochzeit." was the
strange and unmusical cry which
reached the ears of all listeners as an
odd-looking parsonage on an equally
odd-looking horse dashed down the
one street of a small Iowa town recent
IL. To all unconcerned parties this
incident would have ended there had
not a woman's curiosity been aroused.
The rider wore white felt hat and
from its broad brim flowed ribbons of
maas colors and various lengths,
though none exceeded two yards or
were less than enc. Over his GOAT,
which, seen in its semi-visible condi-
ton. looked like buckskin were pinned
haudkerchiefs of all sizes, qualities
and colors. from the daintiest of white
lace to the most flashing of silk muff-
lers Mingled with these were neck
ties of every description, though all
of feminine character. This rider,
although a sturdy Dutchman had not
sufficient area on which to display the
iinery he had gathered, so it was
pinned, tied twisted and festooned on
the beast he rode. Even the horses
tail was kept from contact with the
miry road by broad bands of red and
blue ribbon, but its legs showed signs
of long and muddy journey.
This odd bundle of nature, art and
merchandise proved to be wedding
invitation. He stopped at the homes
of the favored ones and sang some
thing not quite so short as his previous
song, "Hochzeit," but quite as musical;
!, nf hn 70 ily
thus invited replied in song with a
verse probably as old and set by cos
tune as the fist had been. He then
added another bit of brilliancy to the
already well-plumaged rider; but,
should the invitation have found him
unprepared with a suitable dainty
Offering to the bride-elect he would
have given a piece of money. which
seldom exceeds a quarter of dollar.
With this the rider, who, by the way,
is the one interested next to the bride
at the coming "Hochzeit," buys some
trinRet and pins il upon himself
These invitations are always delivered
two weeks before the wedding, and on
that happy day the bride endeayors to
wear as much of the linery her lord-to-
be has gathered as possible. But these
trinkets don't take the place of we'd
ding presents. The latter are in most
cases substantial, useful and costly.
The wedding or "Hochzeit" generally
begins Friday and lasts three days,
and during that time more beer kegs
are emptied, more tobacco turned to
smoke. more Sauerkraut and other
Dutch viands are dcvoured, and more
sleeping, dancing and singing goes on
than there will take place in that
Dutch settlement until the next "Hoch-

WatterSon on Lynch Law.


The rule of mob law in this country
seems to be extending, says the Louis
VILE C0urier-J0gYHdi. The fact that so
many persons are lynched is the most
powerful indictment that could be
drawn up against the modes of crirli-
mails procedure prevalent everywhere.
There can not be any question of the
fact that the machinery of the law. as
it is administered in the United States,
is cumbrous and slow, and provides
more safeguards than terrors for the
criminals. A skillful criminal lawyer.
If his client possesses any influence or
standing whatever. can wear out"
auy ordinary case, even of murder
The law fills his hands with trump
cards. He can find plenty of techni-
calities, flaw in the Indictment, or
some other legal bubble, and he can
ask for rev trials aud appeals and
postpone until the important witnesses
arc dead or have left the country and
the public has forgotten the case.
