AN OCCULT DETECTIVE.

i Ciairvoyant Discovers a Thief and Causes
 Some Sorrow.
 Mrs Emma Whiton of Hoboken, N. J., believes that she has had practical demonstration of tho value of clairvoy- ancy as means of catching thieves The experience was an interesting one, but nevertheless surprising, as the thief for whom she was searching turned out to be somebody whom she would have preferred not to have caught.
 Not long ago Mrs. Whiton missed some silver spoons and soup ladle. One day she visited friend and ehanced to speak of the missing silver. The friend told her that there was elairvoyant in Jersey City who had a wonderful insight, and strongly recommended her to visit this person for the purpose of learning who had stolen her property. Mrs Whiton followed the advice and learned many things which opened her eyes. The clair voyant gave her q description of the thief, which corresponded with her neph- CIV, Frank Van Wart
 Mrs Wliton asked Frank the next time she saw him if he was a believer in fortune tellers, and he answered that they sometimes prophesied with won derful accuracy. The aunt then told him the clairvoyant's opinion of him. Frank denied the allegation, but promised to assist in search for the spoons and was very successful. He had to pay 50 cents to redeem them. A confession and his arrest followed, but Mrs Whiton fe.t sorry for her nephew and did not press the complaint. New York Tribune.

HORACE. GREELEY.

An acquaintance met Horace one day and said "Mr. Greeley, I've stopped your paper" Have you?" said Horace. Well that is too bad, and the old white hat went it's way.
 The next morning Greeley met his subscriber again and said: 1 thought you had stopped the Trtb- une?" tSo I did" ''Then there must be some mistake" said Horace, for I just came from the office, and the presses were running, the clerks were as busy as ever, the compost tors were hard at work, andthe busi- ness going on the same as yesterday and the. day before. "Ohl" ejacu- lated. the subscriber, q didn't mean that I had stopped the paper. I stopped only my copy of it because 1 didn't like your editorials. ; "Pshawo retorted Greeley, sIt isn't worth taking up my time to tell me of such a trifie as ithat. My dear sir if you expect to control the utterances of the Tribune by the purchase of one copy a day or if you think to find any newspaper worth reading that will never express con victions at right angles with your own, you are doomed to disappoint- ment.
