MARVELS OF HYPNOTISM. l:tirlminM Which Ara HhOIIiik to ilia Ordinary (:omprhnluii. Tho ond I bare ovor holil before my eyes, then, and whioh I Viopo I have never lost from vIpw. Is this: Toatudy vhi liypnotui plionomonu ai'cordlnft to a striotly iontltlc) method and for this purpose to employ procoss( purely physical ond which run always bo com pared with one another, so that tK ro aulta obtained by mo may be rigorously tested by all obsorvers who shall use the same procmae undor tho samo con ditions. Takn one examplo from amonj? a thousand. I present to a woman pa tient in the hypnotic state a hlank loaf f paper and say to hor: "Here is my portrait; what do you think of it? Is It a good likeness?" After a moment's hesitation ahe answers: "Yes, indeed, jour photograph; will you give It to we?" To impress deeply in the mind of the subject this imaginary portrait I plnt with my flngor toward one of the four sides of the square leaf of paper, and toll her that my pro Bio looks in that direction; I describe my clothing. The Imago being now fixed in her mind I take that leaf of paper and mix It with a score of other leaves precisely like it. I then hand the whole pack to the pa tient, bidding her fro over them and let me know whether she finds among these any thing she has seen before. She bo gins to look at the loaves one after an other, and aa soon as her eyes fall upon the one first shown to her (I had made upon it a mark that she could not discern) forthwith she exclaims: "Look, your portraitr What is more curious still. If I turn the leaf upside down, as soon aa her eyes rest upon it she turns it over, saying that my pho tograph is on the obverse. I then con vey to her the order that she fliall con tinue to see the portrait on the blank pa per even after the hypnosis has passed. Then I awaken her and ajjain hand to her the oack of papers, requesting her to look over them, ho handles them just as before when she was hypnotized and uttors the same exclamation; "Look, your portraitr If now I tell her that she may retire, she returns to her donatory, and her first care will be to show to her companions tho photograph I have given her. Of course, her com pan ions, not having received thosug gestion, will see only a blank leaf of pa per without any trace whatever of portrait, and will laugh at our subject and treat her as a visionary. Further- -more, this suggestion, this haliucina- tion, will. if I wish, continue several days; all I have to do is to express the wish to the patient before awakening her. The foregoing experiment has been made hundreds of times by me and by others, and the fact can easily be sub stantiated; their objectivity is as com plete aa could be wished in researches of this kind. Hypnotism is directly amenable to our means of investigation, and must needs be an integral part of the known domain of science; to that goal our efforts ought to be directed. Dr. J. M. Charcot, in Forum. i The Ntfroo of Trinidad, The negroes of the Windward Islands are disposed to be the most unconscion' able set of scoundrels on earth. They would steal a ship if they could carry it off, but their inventive genius ij of so low an order that it vanishes in the presence of such & huge undertaking as the successful removal of a thousand tons of . booty. They are pilferers. 'When a vessel arrives at a Caribbean port they surround it with their fleet of boats and swarm over the decks and cabins, appropriating every thing they can lay tUeir h ands on. It requires about lull the crew to watch them, They have been known to steal part of a ships rigging in broad day-light They stole a piece of salt pork from my hook while I was fishing for sharks at Trinidad- I believed that a shovel nosed monster had given me a bite and was encouraged to bait the hook again and sit up all night in the hope of catching him. The same trick was tried on the captain of a British bark who fished with a harpoon, and the re suit was an islander on board with a piece of steel and a frightful wound in his thigh. Victor Smith, in Chautau- quan. - The cotton-picker recently tried near Ilolling Fork, says a Mississippi paper, not only captured the cotton but gathered in limbs, stalks, real estate and all, and then scattered the mass all over the field. It took ton darkies to pick up after it, and the machine was declared a failure. A good, spry de scendant of Ham is the best cotton-picking machine yet introduced in this coun try by our enterprisln Yankee friends. If they succeed in making a better one we will buy that as v- did the ones in troduced here prior to 1S01. A California farmer threatens to add quinine to the products of the country.

STANLEY ON LOVE. Th IlntrrrUloil Afrlcin Kxplorer Can't Talk In h Womitii. A very curious letter, in which Henry M. Stanley gives his views on lovo and the ladies generally, has fallen into my hands. The letter is dated from Jurniyn street, London, where Stanley lived bo fore his departure for his last ' trip into the hoartof tho Dark Continent, and it is dated August 1, 18H4. He says: "For the life of me I can not sit still a moment when anything approaching to love comes upon the tapis. I have lived with men, not women; and It is the man's intense ruggodness, plain ness, directness, that I have contracted by sheer force of circumstances. Foots and women appear to me to be so soft,so very unlike (at lean what I have seen) the rude type of mankind, that one soon feels by talking to them that he must soften ills speech and drawl, or effeot a singular articulation, lest offonsu be taken where none was intended. Hence men are seldom sincere to women or poets. Havo you evor thought of how you looked when speaking to a woman? If my recollections serves mo right, I have seen you talk with such an affect ed softness that I can not compare the manner of it to anything bettor than that o' a strong man handling a baby tenderly, gingerly. So! Hut my pen is carrying mo away. 1 wished to say, my dear friend, that 1 am absolutely uncom fortable when speaking to a woman, un less she is such a rare one that she will let me hear some common sense. The fact is, I can't talk to women. In their presence I am just as much of a hypo crite as any other man, and It galls me that I must act and be affected, and parody myself for noearthly reason, but because I think, with other men. that to speak or act otherwise would not bo appreciated. It is such a false position that I do not care to put myself into it." Stanley then gois on to qualify his Strictures by saying that there is one lady, a friend of the poet to whom he writes, to whom he can speak, because "after tko first few minutes of strange ness have gone, she soon lots you know HiatchafT won't do. Therefore," he adds, "please say a hearty friend wishes her lally enjoyment of her life." Theodore Child, in Woman's Cycle. TORTURE FOR BILL. How Mxy'a Little Brother Blake Her Iteau'a Life Harden. When a biff, Jfawky, overgrown rural youthof about nineteen summers, makes his first appearance in public as a beau toabashful.sweetly modest miss of about tho samo ajre, their misery is already so jrreat that the wretched youth would be justified in slayinjr the younjr brother of ten or twelve years, who maliciously in sists on tag-ying around after the younjr couple at a Fourth of July celebration, and frequently (riving utterance to such fiendish expressions as these: "Hi, thoro, look atour Bill!" "Think yer derned smart, don't ye, Bill Weatherwax, beauin Lizy Shockly -round'." "Hoe, hee, hee! See Bill and Lh-y! Say, Bill, does your mothor know yer outr If poor Bill has at any time in the dead and gone past offended this inter esting younger brother that vindictive youth "gets even" by following steadily in Bill's wake all day propounding such mortifying questions as these: "Hey, Bill, ye spent all that fifty cents pop give you this morning? He'll wallop you if yu do!" "Ye goin home in time to do np the chores, Bill? Pop said you'd had to and you'd better, sir!" Don't ye jist think yor some pump kins, Bill Weatherwax? Now don't ye? How mighty smart wo are!" His fertile Imagination suggests the propriety of gathering together all the small boys of his acquaintance and get ting them to follow around after poor Bill and Liza, a giggling, jeering, fiend ish crowd of young vagabonds who add to Bill's anguish by saying: "Ilurrah for you Bill!" "Take good care of him, Lizy!" "Say, Bill, did yo shave 'fore ye start ed from home?" This sort of torment goes on and is increased by the pleasing ingenuity of tho small boy, until poor Bill and the blushing Eliza are reduced to the last stage of misery and they separate, after which it is to be hoped Bill "gets even" with tho small boy. Drake's Maga zine. .... - The Heat of All Crib. A mother says: "A clothes-basket makes one of the nicest possible cribs for a baby. All my children were raised in a clothes-basket and a ham mock, with never a cradle or crib. It was a large-sized one (the basket, I mean), with handles at the ends. For tho first baby it was covered with blue silesia and dotted Swiss. But when the other babies came an old cretonne for the inside and out did very well. The sides were padded with a piece of old bed-quilt, and a little mattress made for the bottom. When baby fell asleep the basket was easily carried into a quiet room, which could be made dark." The idea could not be a bad one. Such a basket would do very nicely for tho babies who are just learning to sit alono. The padding' would save tho littlo heads from many a hard bump, and also keep the littlo ones from feeling tho drafts which rush along tho floor." De troit jN'ews.
