ADJUSTMENTS.

Professor r. B. Dodd lectured to light
house at the Metropolitan Theater last
evening on the subject of hypnotism or
mesmerism, He said the force was as
old as the world, but had been known
under different names, and spoke of Mes
mer, Bray. Cbarteau and LIE Beau, who
had pracIiced ii under its different phases.
The schools OF Paris and Nancy use the
passes and motions that Mesmer did,
and also use suggestion. Hypnotism is
largely used in foreign hospitals and also
in New York and Chicago. Most hyp-
notists make mystery OF il, but any
person can practice 1t as we'll as they. and
is also susceptible to it. He thought
parents should learn to use it in order to
educate their children and direct them
Alright. They could guide their sons and
daughters by suggestion while under its
influence so as TO give them distaSte tor
vicious companions. and could save a
large amount in doctors bills. You cam
not make patient, while under its in
fluence, do what be thinks is wrong. He
announced that he had two subjects who
were under his influence and invited
persons from the audience to come on the
stage, and quite q number responded,
several of them proving to be good sub
jects. two being ladies. They did his
bidding in various things, such as being
unable 10 open their eyes, unclasp their
hands, speak their names, etc., and he
also made them do number of ridicu-
lous things that excited the risibility of
the audience. After the conclusion of
the performance he invited any who
wished to be relieved of ailments to allow
him to try TO give them relief. and as q
number consented to try he succeeded
in driving away their pains and aches.
He will give an exhibition tonight with
higher tests.

Good Greenbscks in Bad Company.

Charles NJ. Burks, one of the city po-
lcemen, hita streak OF luck a few days ago
that was worth to him Sl20. He found
that much money in a box OF old COnfed-
crate bills that his father had owned be-
fore his death. The Old gentleman WAS
quite well-to-do, and lived on fine farm
in Troup County. lie had a box full OF
Confederate money that was on hand
when the war closed. He laid the box
away, considering its contents worthless.
He died in 1878, and the box was left TO
his children. Some time ago Mr.. Burks'
sister sent the box TO him from her home
down in Troup County. In counting
over the money he came across several
bills that looked like good money to him.
Mr.. Burks went 10 j. c. Dayton of the
State Savings Bank for an opinion on the
money. Mr.. Dayton told Mr.. Burks that
he thought the bills were good, and that
he would cash them IL they were not in
such bad company. Mr.. Dayton proposed
that the bills be sent in to the Treasury
at Washington, to which Mr.. Burks con-
sented. They were sent last Friday, and
Wednesday Mr.. Dayton received from
the Treasury letter inclosing n check for
$40. Mr.. Burks still has S4f, 900 in Con-
federate money in that old box, which ne
would be glad to exchange for cbechs.-

LaboucI,ere and the Ladies.

A little while ago a number of the
shrieking sisterhood subscribed a fund to
prevent my over again being returned to
Parliament, and sundry sisters are now
having an outing in order to spend this
fund. AT one OF my meetings two of the
sisters, one aged and the other middle
aged, tackled me and asked me TO eX-
plain my views on female suffrage. /
declined to answer any question unless
put to me by a resident in the borough.
Have you mother?" asked the mid
dle-aged sister. l replied that, in COM
mon with good many persons, l had
had a mother. What this interesting fact
had TO do with female suffrage l do not
know, but. apparently, it is the key of
the question. for the next morning
goodish-looking young lady, with es-
tnetic eyes, and robed in aesthetic garb,
penetrated into my room at my hotel.
:" l will not believe it," she said. ou
cannot be against US. Have you
mother ?' Again l pleaded guilty to the
soft impeachment. Then she harangued
me. The conversation drifted into one
upon love. Ought woman to marry
without loving? she asked, and she ex-
planned to me that a baronet had once
proposed to her, and that she had refused
him because she had not loved him.
This personal incident, strange as it may
appear, did not convince me that i ought
TO vote for propertied women having
votes. My visitor then contided to me
that some doctors held that she ought 10
have an operation for some Internal COM
pIaint. while others doubted IL. ms
potent argument for female suffrage still,
however, left me impenitent. on winch
she went away.
The next day the sisters had a meeting.
at W hich the Conservative candidates ap-
peared The chief sister-the Lady ou-
perior suppose she ought to be called
announced that sne would take me to her
arms if only l would be converted. "But
he's married man, ma'am." shouted the
audience amid roars OF laughter. Another
sister was adjured to go on. with cries of
keep it up, dear" On the whole, there
