That plenty of genuine cases of klep- tomania undoubtedly exist is well known to both legal and medical exports There was, for instance, the case of q not very long deceased nobleman who frequent ly pocketed his hostess spoons at q din. ner party, and whose pockets were in- variably searched by his man on his re- turn, with q view to prompt restitution.
 In another case lady who was quito rational upon other points was discov- cred to have 15 k4gs concealed about her, in which were over l, 100 little ar- tieles which she had stolen and conceal ed, although nearly every one was abso- lutely worthless A clergyman has been known to steal Bibles under the inpres. sion that he was thereby propagating tho gospel. Another gentleman, sane in other respects, invariably stole the tow els from any hotel he stopped at while travelling and returned them when he got home, and, oldest of all, there has boer q case of a man who would never eat food which he had net stolen. He was man of means, and his personal attendant used to hide his meals, So that he might think he himself had stolen them, in order tc induce him 10 eat. =, Lady's Pictorial.

]. ]. BILL. FOB M4YOR.

Ex-Mayor D. c. Bell has "shied his castor" into the political arena and his announcement as a candi- date for Mayor and the policies for which he stands will be found else where in this issue. Mr. Bells course of action is due to the solicf. tations of a large number of friends9 and it was not until late hour yes terday that he yielded to their solicitations and consented to make the race.
 Mr Bell, previous to Mr Gold smiths administration, served as Mayor of the city for one full term and during the latter part of his ad- ministration inangurated many of the policies which have resulted SO benefeiaIly to the city. He gave the city of Pine Bluff wise, saga cious and energetic administration, and evlnced a backbone in dealing with public affairs that was gratify- ing and greatly redounded to the public good.
 His past services as Mayor and as a Member of the Board of Public Affairs have made him familiar with all the detailed workings of the city government, and have all the better qualified him for the position to which he now aspires. Should he be elected we have no doubt but that he would give this city a bold, fearless and efficient administration, and so conduct public affairs as to bring down upon his head the plaudits of this people

 The genera and staff bivouaeked upon tic ground Tho night was quite chilly, and couple of fires wero lighted to add to our comfort General Grant lay down with his officers beside one of the fires without any. covering. When asleep, an aid quietly spread an overcoat over him. Tor about four hours we all kept turning over every few minutes so as to get warmed on both sides, initiating with our bodies the diurnal motion of the earth as it exposes it's sides altor- nately to the heat of tho sun When daylight broke it was seen that q low board structure close to which the gen eral in chief had lain down was a pig pen, but it's former occupants had dis appeared and were probably at that time HourishiHg the stomaehs of the cavalry troopers of the invading army Unfor- tunately the odors of tho place had not taken their departure with the pigs, but remained to add to the discomfort of the biyouaokers. Sheridan's s cavalry had had fight at this place the afternoon before, in which he had defeated the opposing force, and the ground in the vicinity, strewn with the dead, offered ample evidence of the severity of the struggle.
 At daylight on the morning of the 8th active operations were in progress throughout the columns. General sheri- dan had ordered his cavalry to move by different roads to seize the bridges cross ing the Pc river. General Meade modi- fed these orders and directed a portion of the cavalry to move in front of War ren's infantry on the Spottsylvania Court House road. The enemy were fell ing trees and placing other obstacles in tho way in order to impede the move ment and the cavalry was afterward withdrawn and the infantry directed to open the way.
 About sunrise General Grant, after taking off his coat and shaking it to rid 1t of some of the dust in which he had lain down. shared with the staff officers some soldiers rations and then seated himself OH the ground by tho roadside to take his morning smoke. General Horace Porter in Century.

 Canadian Tour.
 Stephen Eiske describes the Prince of Wales visit to America in tho Ladies' Home Journal and relates these interest. ing incidents of his tour through Cana da; "The Catholics had gained q little victory over tho storn Duke of NeWeas, tle at Quebec. and now the Orangemen demanded to be allowed to present ad. dresses to the prince and to be received separately from their Catholic fellow citizens The duke consulted with Coy. ernor General Head and refused to per. nit this distinction At Kingston an Orange demonstration was prepared and the royal party did not land from the steamer. The Orangemon chartered another steamer and pursued the prince to Broekton, but again he was not al lowed to go on shore At Coburg 8 par, ty of 50 Canadian gentlemen took the horses from his carriage and drew him through the pretty hamlet, At Toronto the mayor apologized for the display of Orange flags The prince was booted and hissed when he attended church, and serious riots were feared.
 All trouble was averted, however, by the good humor of the prince him self He was taking a drive with the duke, and the Orangemen hastily hung a banner across the road so that the roy. al party had to drive under it. Neweas. tic was indignant and ordered the coach man to turn back; but, To, another Or ango banner had been hung to cut off the retroat. Then tho prince laughed heartily took off his hat to the flag and was cheered by the Orangemen. How. ever, the duke was not modified, and the journey to Niagara falls was expedited. The prince first saw the great falls on Sept. 15. 4 number of riding horses had been provided by the Canadian govern ment, and he mounted at once and rode to view the falls from various points !"
