THE LAWYERS VISION.
A Remarkable Instance of Physical Suffer-
ing and Thought Transference.

Remarkable Instance of Physfcal Suffer
ting and Thoaght Transference.
The Popolo Romano relates the fol-
lowing authentic fact, without giving
more than the initial Of The person to
whom it occurred, a distinguished young
lawyer of literary reputation, who stated
that he could not give the most remote
explanation OF It: Some years since, on
hot summer afternoon, the Avvocato
A., together with his wife and two
children, left their house in Via Gaeta at
8 o'clock precisely for IN evening walk.
He was in good health and spirits, but
just as they crossed the street he was
suddenly seized with shock through his
1hole body, which caused all the blood
to leave his face and obliged him to sup
port himself against the wall. His wife
In alarm assisted him to steady himself
anxiously asking what was the matter.
recovered himself speedily and was
able to continue the walk, only describ-
ing an unaccountable perturbation and
humming in his ears. The evening
breeze and exercise gradually calmed
and revived him. and he completely re-
gained his usual frame. They went to
visit some friends and then rested at o
cafe, when toward half past II o'clock
storm which had been gathering began
the frst blasts Of wind, and they hurried
home. Scarcely arrived indoors. the
Avvocato A hurried to remove some
dowerpots from balcony over the
street. taking lamp with him. The
wind extinguished the light, so he had
to continue his operations in the dark,
only Illuminated now and then by the
lightning flashes. He was just lifting
the last flower vase. an ornamental one,
given him by his mother, when he was
startled by seeing kind of black veil
waving upward close in front of him,
which. as it rose, assumed human form.
Very much disturbed, he Immediately
related the strange appearance to his
wife, and the perturbation before expe-
rienced again overcame him, leaving
him unable to sleep all night. Early in
the morning came telegram from his
brother at Ferrara stating that their
mother had been suddenly seized with
cerebral syncope the previous evening at
O'Clock and had expired at midnight,
Just as the Avvocato A. had seen the
black veil vanish into space"

The Cat In Ancient Times.

The cat was so very highly regarded in
England at one time, both as q rat and
mouse catcher, and as an ornament to
society, that we find the following saln-
tary law passed by one of the princes
of Wales:
IF any one steal or kill Cat that
guards the Princes Granery, he is to
forfeit milch Eve, its Fleece and
Lamb. Or. as much Wheat as, when
poured upon the cat suspended from its
tail, with the head touching the floor,
would form d heap high enought to cover
the tip of the former"
Though the Welsh had a high opinion
Of the cat. the ancient Egyptians had a
still higher. These intelligent and CIV
ilized people treated cats with great dis
tinction. 1t was u crime to kill them,
and when they died they received pub
lie burial, at which the people mourned,
having first shaved off their eyebrows as
a token Of sorrow. The most prominent
cats were upon death embalmedin drugs
and spices, and cat mummies have been
found side by side with those of kings.
When Cambyses, the Persian, attacked
the Egyptian city of Pelusis, he cunning.
ly provided his soldiers with cats in
stead of shields. When the host ad-
vanced, the Egyptians retired in confu-
sion upon discovering that they would be
unable to do damage to their enemy
without seriously imperiling the lives OF
vast numbers of cats. And so the city
was taken easily and without the loss OF
blood or of a cat. 1t cannot be disputed
that the ancient Egyptian cats must have
enjoyed life very much.-St. Louis Pest.

Had Welded.

It Took synod to Decide Which Man She
Had Welded.
The misfortune of having a double"
who so closely resembled Thomas Nc
Cobb that his own wife could not tell
cne from the other resulted in such a
furore in the United Presbyterian con-
gregation that husband and wife were
both dismissed. The right of man to
wed the sister of his deceased wife was
also feature of the case.
McCobb and William Clyde of the
Shenango United Presbyterian congre-
CATION looked 80 much alike that the
session, the presbytery and finally the
synod itself had trouble over it. They
were both members of the Shenango
congregation. Thomas McCobb had
three pretty cousins in Philadelphia and
admired them all. He became engaged
to the eldest. When she rejected him,
the second sympathized and married
him. In the course of time she died.
Her younger sister, having in the mean
time become rich by fortunate invest
ment in oil lands, had been living with
the McCobbs for several years and con-
tinued with Thomas MCCobb and his
parents and the children. BY and by
Newton Fletcher happened to be over
in Greenville one day when . justice OF
the peace pointed to Thomas McCobb on
the street and said:
81 married that man an hour ago to
Miss Blank, " naming the youngestof the
three sisters.
Newton Fletcher came home, and the
news soon spread among the congrega-
tion that Thomas McCohb had married
his deceased wife's sister contrary to the
rules Of the church. The session Of ell
ders took IL up. Thomas denied it and
said it must have been William Clyde.
The justice Of the peace was confronted
by all concerned in the presence Of the
session.
That's the man married" he said,
pointing to William Clyde. William de-
MED it.
.'Then ID must be that other one. :
Thomas denied it too.
"That's the woman, anyhow, and that
the bonnet she had on. She must know
whom married her to-
The woman looked from Thomas t.
William and back again and stood mute
She didn't seem to knew which was ths
husband.
The case was appealed from the ses
sion to the presbytery, and when the,
were all ready to try it somebody hat
stolen the records out of one of the pews
When they finally did decide it, it wa
taken to the synod on appeal. Then i
was decided that McCobb was the hus
band, and he and the wife were both dis
missed from the church.

A Tender Handed Tramp.

Robert James Gordon, a casual, de-
clined to break stone in return for food
and shelter at the Newcastle workhouse,
and doubtless much to the surprise of
the workhouse authorities successfully
resisted the proceedings taken against
him for that act of insubordinatiU. Be
ing called ON in the Newcastle police
court to explain his refusal, Mr.. Gordon,
who appears to be an educated man and
is described as speaking logically and
fuently." asked the bench to consider
what such work meant to a man like
him.
His hands would, he said, become
quite lacerated, and were he a clerk or a
tailor the result would be that in search
ing for employment afterward he would
be unable to follow it. In the case of a
shorthand writer. too, he asked how he
would be able to write 1870 words PEI
minute il his hands were mangled in the
way they assuredly would be after break
ing ton of stone. His chances of gain
ing work were thus minimixed, and he
submitted respectfully" that accord
ing to law the master of the workhouse
did not use any OF the discretion which
the regulations directed him to use.
After the magistrates had consulted
together for some time, the chairman
stated that the bench could not agre'
upon decision, and that the defendan
would thus get the benefitof the circum
stance. Personally, he added, he shoult
certainly have punished him. but his col
league being of . different opinion the.
had concluded to dismiss the case.-Lon
