Marvellous Instances of Thought Heading.

The correspondence which has ensued upon Mri Irving's remarkable exhibitionbt." thought reading" before British men of science .has brought to light a number of other claimants for the possession of powers of a similar kind. Mr. Kingston describes a different process which he saw tried four years ago] and which he has often practised by way of amusement with a few friends, as it can be performed by any two persons upon'any third. The person to be operated upon' goes out of the room. The company can then decide what he is to do when he returns blindfolded. This being settled, two people are selected to make him do what is wanted, or rather to convey their thoughts to his mind so that he may know what to do. They then place their hands with each other's little fingers linked together loosely round his neck, and join their thumbs together, establishing a circle and lightly touching his neck, and think as intensely as they can of the object. The medium, if you will so term him, cannot be made to do anything he. sets his mind against; but if he remains passive, and allows inclination to take its course, he generally does what is required. Mr. Kingston has seen the most extraordinary things done in rapid succes sion, but he has also seen a great many failures, arising, he supposes, from want of concentra tion of thought on the part of the two people operating, or a determination on the part of the-medium that he will not be made to do what is required. He has seenseventeensuc cessful. experiments in less than half an hour, and has performed oh many sceptical people and quite convinced them- He does not be lieve in muscular power forcing the medium. Mr., Earnest Wilding' declares that he can do the same thing single-handed. ''I have," he says, " frequently," by way of amusement more than of scientific study, tried the experiment of willing individuals to do certain actions which unconscious guidance pn my part could riot account for. I place the centre finger of the right hand on the spinal column at the back'of the neck, and in'this way'have successfully willed a person (who was blindfolded) to take up one rose from a bouquet containing' about fifty, 'or one biscuit from a plateful of biscuits, just, as'l- willed, and as I had previously told the lookers on I should "make my subject do— he, of course, being put of the room when I had decided on what tie'was to do." Another testifier, who withholds his name, says that he has often, when he has had friends to dinner, whiled away an hour or two in experiments on the subject of thought-reading or willing, and has discovered that if two persons encircled the person being willed, by merely joining hands around him, but without' touching in any part, the same effect could be produced as if the hands of the " wilier" were placed at the back of the neck. By this means he has seen a lady made to turn over a photograph book and stop at a particular portrait (of course blindfolded at the time), and take up a parti cular glass out of a number on a supper table crowdcu ™IL ainC.cs C. !L. ..'".*.*, uu'uo a gentleman's white necktie, find a pair of gloves which had been hidden, then put the right hand glove on her left hand, and commit other absurdities which could not have enteredunto the unaided imagination of the person operated upon. Another witness—a lady—who > also very excusably withholds her name, gives the following testimony:—"A lady- visiting a house where I was staying was peculiarly sub ject to the mesmeric 'influence of a gentleman, who was also a visitor. 'We were all three acquaintances of only-a few. days.: With his and my hand touching her-waist, she fourid anything which he had' touched; but the best test experiment was the following :—ln her absence I proposed that we should each handle a penny, and lay it. on al'certain table. She was then blindfolded and called in, and in the usual manner willed to find his'penny. She walked straight to the table,' and took up mine, but said 'That is not it/ and put it down. She stocid for some time at the table in evident discomfort, moving her hands about and say ing, 'I know it is here, but I Can't find it;" , At last she accidentally'5 touched'his penny, and instantly took ifupj exclaiming, ' That is it.' I w r as myself, wheri.U young-girl, obliged in this "manner to go to a sofa: where^a gentle man was' lying with" wh6m I "was slightly ac quainted, "and to fake\ a' flower out of his button-hole—a task which I felt to be-very 'embarrassing, and i resisted as long as I could, until the impluse to'do's'o overcame my.dislike. In the same way I; have helped in'making a lady strike a given note, upon'the piano. I; believe that in any company of from twelve to twenty people of viryirig families and disposi tions, drie or ttvo may be "found who will give* better results than Mr.' Bishop' appears;to have' done." These experie'nces'are, howeveri very different from Mr. Bishop's, for.it cannot be supposed that his scientificexaminers "willed" him to do anything,' or: that he willed them. AH the evidence, however, ;brought to light in, the correspondence bearing on his experiments .shows that physical'phenomena 6f asurprising kind are. not; infrequent: "Mr. W. •Roberts gives another instance of thought-reading, or rather thought dictation, which is suggestive. "On this occasion," he ;says, "I Sent a lady from the room.'and wrote this 'question,' ' Do ( you think anybody willconie on' Easter Sunday? on a piece of paper,1 tightly'jfolded; I then brought her in blindfolded, put .the paper, in her hand, and asked her to answer a question which' it contained.' Without attempting to unfold the paper she replied, 'I don't;think anybody will. I don't' knoV what it is, but something about Easter Sunday.' .My fingers iiiet round her neck, and I exerted my will strongly." . ;All this testimony is given by persons of whose good faith there can.be little question.' Even the anonymous cases are cor relatively authenticated.; ■■■■'~"'",;' . i

The Salvation Army Attacked in Liverpool.

At .half-past eleven o'clock on Sunday morn ing, as about forty,,persons of both- sexes be longing to the. Salvation Army were proceeding along Scotland-road,, singing hymns, and on their way to the. Hand-inrHand Club, 20S, \Valton-road, where:, they hold their services, they were attacked,by a large mob with stones at the corner of Sawney, .Eppe-street., The "Army" beat a hasty retreat in the direction of their destinatipn,the crowd, now numbering 2,000 or 3,000 people, following and hurling whatever they could pick up after the unfor tunate enthusiasts. • , Police-constables 200 and 901 interposed : at, Burlington-street, and suc ceeded in protecting' the fugatives; On the way to the mission-room, in charge of these officers, several Salvationists, no doubt greatly terrified, broke out of the ranks, and two of them; girls, took-refuge in the house of Robert Hilton, 6, Louss-street, where they contrived to escape ., through the back, entrance into Great Homer-street. ...The mob believing they w«re still in the house threw stones at it,

and broke twelve paries of glass. Police-con stables 232- and 257 afterwards came up and dispersed the assailants, and, upon the inform ation of a man named Wivell, arrested a girl who had been throwing missiles. The crowd attacking Wivell, however, for informing, the constables were: compelled to leave'the girl and go tp his rescue, and afterwards escort him to Athol-street, Bridewell, where he remained until the rough's had dispersed. It is stated that some of those who broke away from the ranks of the "army" were severly handled by the mob, and the police are endeavouring to ascertain the names of some of the ruffians who took a leading part in the disturbance.— Liver pool Post. ;~' • .

Typographical Faces.

The following typographical faces are the handiwork of our " P.D.":—

Tiie gentleman in the middle, who has got some wool on tho top of his head and also at the sides, is a judge I who knows what is expected of him. Hb thinks lie can keep his mind open, but is not so sure about his eyes. • Counsel.on his right has lost the day, and, really, to look at him, ■the day's'dimier. • Nothing less could thus draw down the corners of a mail's mouth. Counsel, on the. Judge's left has won the ■day and has had his dinner, thus leaving nothing to be desired, as-ia seen in his ex pressive features. ~..,. .

An Aristocratic Scandal.

A NOBLEMAN. HORSEWHIPPED.

"At Salisbury, on Tuesday, three gentlemen, 'described as the Marquis of Townshend, Col. Nepeau, and Mr. Francis'Ellis, were charged with assulting Lord- Edward Thynne on the highway. His lordship stated that when driv ing trom Salisbury to -Laverstock, where he resides, he met the three defendants. The one who describedhimself as thfe -Marquis Towns hend attacked him with a riding whip, smashed his hat, and drew blood from his head, crying "Is that enough ?•" Colonel Nepeau held the horse, and Mr. Ellis used language which en couraged the Marquis. The assault lasted five or six minutes. The defendants went off | towards Pitton.— In reply to the Marquis, he said he knew 39, Dover-street, London. He knew the Marquis Townshend there, but could not swear defendant was the same person. ■ He was something Hke tha defendant in--i""-';; u and appearance.-The M.yqui.- ;- a ; d ship went off with his itl".* Marquis') wife some years ago,,. Hew- uS ;ji at the time, and that was the first Opportunity he had,had of giving him a sound castigation. It ought to , have beerl more severe.—Colonel Nepeau said he interposed to prevent the assault, and had he not held the pony, a lady who was in the carriage with his lordship would have been, killed.—Lord Thynne, however,,expressed his! belief that the three defendants had combined to commit the assault. r^-The; Magistrate (Mr. Jacobs) said he had no alternative but to remand the defendants until next Tuesday, : , but bail would be accepted for their appearance.,. Sub sequently Mr. Nodder was instructed to act for the defendants, who were meanwhile detained in custody.: ■ ..-.:« - i -.-. ■'. 1 a..' ■'..' . i. •«

Kept Alive, by Absorption.

• A WOATAN WHO HAS TAKEN NEITHER ! NOB WATEK FOR EIGHT MONTHS.

BvnTE CrIJEk; Midi., June: 19;— Mention has been made-in the newspapers at various ; •times of the case of-Mrs.-Nellie Ingram, who, since last October, has been in bed, Unable to take food or waterj: Mrs. Ingram is now 36 years old, arid has-been twice married; her ■present husband being'Henry-Ingrain,'a team :ster "' In girlhood, as Miss Nellie Dunn, she was'hearty and robust, "a specimen of blooming health, and had a more; than ordinary fine con stitution, which she retained as she advanced in years On Oct. ll,' 1880, she ; stepped into a Dr ■ N Merritf s office tp have a tooth extracted. She was then in the:most, perfect health, and weighed • not far from 180 pounds. The tooth was°a double-one, fanbackiin the jaw, firm and fast; and' Very troublesome.from,a cavity;, Un doubtedly-the pain.and' annoyance she.rhas ex perienced: from it had,, excited Ijer nervous system to that -degree:that it took but little to 'produce adecided shock. : The tooth, was, ex tracted with" much, difficulty, and. produced intense pain; Mis. Ingram became greatly ex cited which culminated in.a nervous shock,;.A: hackney was called, and she \yas taken to her "home in a prostiatect.Condition, and was im mediately afterward seized with a severe pain in the bowels, which.has continued night and day-ever since, accompanied by: sickness and nausea. ■ She repeatedly: attempted to eat food to sustain life, but it^only: produced a loathing and deathly sickness, and, was at length given up. These spasms-occur* however, whether she is given food or not : - : ■• ■ ■ ■ : ... As soon as it became certain to her physician that;all attempts to keep her alive by.introduc in? food into her stomach were useless, he belari giving her injections, thereby sustaining life .by-a-procesiof absorption by the walls of the intestines. 'Life has also been sustained by baths of: beef tea, milk, and such tagMyrato; tious liquids, with an occasional bath of alcohol to keep the pores open. She has lived for the past efcht months in this way, not a morsel of food havingpas her lips. Her weight has been reduced from 180 to less than So pounds ; but although her body is so much reduced, her face still preserves a .quite'healthy appearance, and would not strike one as belonging to a person who has been obliged to go without food, and who has suffered such excruciating pains. Her nerves are at such a high tension that she is unable to sleep more that two horns m twen y four.- This short rest is-generally taken to wards morning, when the vitality in her body £ very low.

The Greek Brigands of To-Day.

SUPERSTITION AND HEARTLESSNESS OF THE BAND AT AKISTIDES.

(From the London Dailu iVcicsJ

The whole of the band of Greek brigands by whom Mr Suter was recently captured were Christians, that is they belonged to the Greek Church, and no less than seven had been in the Greek army in different grades, and had deserted therefrom. Notwithstanding that every day of their lives is passed in perpetrating the most henious crimes, yet these men never begin a meal without; crossing themselves, and ,'saying their prayers at night .On the Greek Easter Day Mr Sutec was surprised to find that each had his candle' lighted, and that after presenting one to the prisoner, they would not begin to eat till they had crossed them selves three times, each time the chief saying, !" Christ is risen," and the ■ remainder answer ing, " Truly he is risen," concluding the cere mony by kissing each other all round, including Mr Suter. '.',...-.

Every brigand wears a charm, consisting of either a bit of blue glass or red silk, to presetve his flesh from being penetrated by bullets, and the faith they all put in these, things surpasses belief. One anecdote is told of a member of Aristides' band who, during the Cretan in surrection, was exposed on the top of a rock to the fire of the Turkish troops. Presently he gave a shout and fell back,: saying he was .shot, but when examined nothing could bespen but a slight bluck mark'where the bullet struck him. This was all accounted'for. by a blue marble charm he wore, and several men swore to the truth of the above, story. . , One or two stories, as related to Mr Suter by the,gang round their evening meal, show .their brutality. The chief or the band, Aris tides, one day came across an old Turk out shooting, who had with him his piece of forked stick, which is used in order '[to obtain a better aim by resting on it the, barrel Of the gun. Simply'for amusement the brigand chief strangled the man, afterwards placing him in a kneeling position, putting his fowling piece to his shoulder, and resting''the barrel on the crutch- in the most natural position; so that my passer-by, would nevei suspect but that it 'was a peasant sportsman instead of a corpse.; Another anecdote was told with great gusto. 'Niko, the chief of t^e band that took Colonel Syhge, caught'a man near a .sawmill whom he tliought he recognized. ' The,' conversation commenced thus : "Did not you Once spy for me?"' "Yes." "Did I' not pay you five liras for so doing?" "Yes," "Pid you/not tell the.soldiers in such and siicli'.'a visage that you had seen me?"" " YS3,!' "I'1"—, : said Niko, "Take a bit of r and p^j SSh ?X"b -? v":' Th^s»the wayNiko treats v traitorr ~ A fter this was done he first ■ .Jaoff the man's right hand so that he should : never write anything against him f next he deprived him of his ears so that he should hear no more questions about the band, and, finally, he cut his tongue out-to prevent him from telling tales, Then, wrapping all these frag ments in a handkerchief, he bade him walk to the! nearest village' to present them with the note to the Pasha. The poor man, not daring to refuse, Struggled on till he dropped down ;and died from loss of blood ."'•

A Murderer's Handlings.

James Hall was executed at Armley Gaol on ' Monday for the murder of his wife nt Sheffield. ■ He slept soundly from midnight until six o'clock -when.the chaplain visited him: ;At a .quarter to eight Marwood, the executionßr,: went- into 'his" cell and pinioned rfalf, who quietly sub mitted to the operation. He walked firmly-to the Scaffold, and' cilmly surveyed' those who surrounded him. Marwood allowed a drop of nine feet, and" death was instantaneous, j About •two hundred persons assembled • outside the 'gaol. "'• ,' ' ' ' ■ The unfortunate man was'visited by his only son, Abraham Hall, and his t>vo daughters, .Selina Hall and Mrs Travis, on: Saturday.! In •an interview of over art hour's duration, the condemned prisoner expressed ■ his contrition 'for his crime, asked the forgiveness of'his family, cleared his wife of the charge of in fidelity he had brought against her, and 'said he was quite resigned to1 his doom, arid was certain of meeting his wife in heaven. The interview was a most'affecting <on 6, the con "demned man and his children all sobbing bit terly together. Selina'says her father's manner ■ had changed very much in many ways, but in none more-visibly than' towards her mother. He felt as if he would give all the world to see her again- alive, and he spoke.of her.'iff the: most affectionate terms.- ■ In his prayers he said he often saw his (lead wife, and these visions seemed to assure him all the- more' that ■he would meet her in heaven: He-wished Viis. relatives to convey -his thanks to all who at tended Mrs Hall's funeral; and he wished hh ■ two sisters and his daughter to wear mourning for their'mbther—saying :it was a'terrible thing; that the necessity for mourning should, have -been brought about by his hand—and to visit her grave. He spoke very calmly about his : execution, remarking that he had been eating ias much food as possible in order that he might ■be'able to walk to the scaffold. To show his regret for what he had done, and to convey his respect for his wife, he! desired that one of her funeral cards should be sent to him that he ■ rhigh't place it in his mouth before being led to the gallows, and have it in his teeth when his eyes closed in death.: > After the conversation had gone on for some time he talked /with little restraint, and repeated his statement that he intended to commit suicide after mur dering1 his wife, but he had not time enough. "If you had given me two minutes longer,' he said, "all this bother would have'been saved.1' He intended: to consume a large quantity of brandy and then drown himself in ;an adjoining dam. He; even alluded to the club of which he was a member, and asked if they had inquired whether, under the cir cumstances, the money which they would otherwise have b;en entitled to, would be paid, and on being told that the club would not admit the claim he expressed his disappoint ment. He blamed drink for the crime, and spoke of what a changed man he would be had he his life to live over again. When they spoke of coming away Hall seemed anxious to know if they would reach home safely, and asked them to arrange that one should write to him. This they promised to do, and took their departure, wishing him farewell. He became much affected, and bade them goodbye, continuing to call out to them as long as they were within sound of his voice, which gradu ally died away as the distance was increased between them and the prison cell. i

Female' Opium Eaters.

A national hospital isabout to be established ■in the United Slates for the treatment of in .temperance and opium-eating among the • women. Among the poor there the habit of opium-eating is becoming common, and many ladies of the wealthier classes are alleged to: be . "slaves of this drug." It is very seldom that any one who have once acquired the habit are able to relinquish it. There are at present many inebriate asylums in the United States; -but these were built exclusively for males, and .are'at all times filled with the unfortunate victims of drink. It was tliought unnecessary to erect asylums for the other sex; but it is now: found that women require them as much as,, if not more than, men. There can be little doubt that these institutions are of great service to their inmates ; but the problem yet to be solved is not " how to cure a drunkard,!' buk "how to prevent a person from' becoming a drunkard." According to recent inquiries •in Chicago, the vice, of opium-eating is evi dently one of middle life, the larger number of persons addicted to this bad habit being from thirty to forty, years of age. But Dr.Earle found one lady, aged fifty, who had taken the drug, since she was thirteen ; and an aged couple. (seventy and seventy-five years re spectively) taking a drachm of morphia each every week whenever they could get it. -It is among the middle classes that the great ma jority of opium-eaters are to be found; and many people reduced from high social standing seek this' consolation. Various reasons are given: for taking the drug—such as its stimu lative and happy effect, previous addiction to •drink, unhappy marriage, rheumatism, neuraL gia;- sickness, loss of property, and so on. Hut the great majority confess it was prescribed during, some disease in which pain was a ■prominent symptom- Ladies generally use .morphia,, men of the lower classes gum opium, a few of both sexes use the tincture, while occasionally one is found taking large doses of paregoric.■-. One widow, aged fifty, buys;ijf .ontdruggist half a gallon every week. A large number of ladies take from one-third to one ■grainof morphia daily. ■u< >'\

Amusing Interviews with Ladies.

Thb members of the American Cabinet some times' have very amusing interviews1 with ladies, as the following will illustrate >— Young Lady j •' Mr Secretary, I liave called, {a '5?5 if yOHQW tell me when Captai", ___ j s tb b>ordered away. bj£ w^ h - wia g0 to? >. .'Secretary :' "I really do not know. Do you .wish him ordered away ?" Young Lady : ,'.', No, indeed " (this with a very conscious look :and a slight increase in colour) ; " only if you were I would like to know, you know, for you see," pulling out her handkerchief'and putting her little gloved finger in her mouth J a la Maggie Mitchell, "you know Mr , now don't you?" Secretary: "How should I?;", Young Lady: "Then I'll tell you" (this with a..100k of determination). "I'm going" to . marry, him, and if you are going to ordtc him off why we want tp get married before. That is all, . Secretary: "I have not thought of ordering him away, and, since he is going to ; ,engage in such .pleasant business, wilt not." Young Lady: "Ohl'Mr ——, ain't you good ? ; I'm so glad. Now I'll have plenty of .time to get ready," ~. :,' ,

Another young lady sends in her card- and is admitted, Avhen the following colloquy takes place :— Young Lady : " I- have called to sea if you will not give permission to Lieut. —^_ to' cotoe here from A?" Secretary; i " Any of his near relatives sick ? " scanning her closely i Young Lady: ■*' No, sir. His friends want to see him so much, and you can have him dome if you want to." Secretary! "Oh ! I see how it is. If you say. you aie his sweetheart'he shall come. Young Lady: ;"Yes, sir', he isl" saying this with both hands hiding her face. The secretary says that1 he gave permission to that officer to come, telegraphing to him to that effect'within the hour. arc-not like the one w» are speaking of, so young ladies must not pre sume up.on the above incidents, for they rilight riot be-as successful as our two fair friends yrstei—Amtriean-Pajicr.

High-Prices Beans.

When opened he found every fish had been removed from tho ice and saw dust and a shingle met his eyes, marked with a blue lead pencil: "A thundering price for beans 1" Trouble arose between Gilmore and tho Dotroit fish-house, and tboy went to law, Gilmoro winning tho suit, ?25 damages and aU at a cost for tho attorney's services of §86 90. • Gilmoro grew dejected.
