THE COLLEGE GHOST.
The Contents of the Famous Memphis Jar.
The Memphis Avalanche savs:
Mr. J. R. Robertson has issued a pamphlet of
thirty-six pages entitled "The Brinkley Female
College UhoBt Story, which purports to be a
complete history of the supernatural experiences
of his daughter Clara in that institution, to
gether with an account of I he finding of the
"mysterious jar" and a statement of its contents.
On the latter point the book says: "And now,
reader, it only remains for us to give the con
tents of the mvsterous iar. and there is a pros-
feet of securing its captors, as revealed to Miss
clnra whlln la an entranced state with a view
solely to that object. The Jar contained two
thousand dollars in gold, one set of gold jewelry'.
and diamond necklace. The paper envelope
contained valuable papers, the contents of which
we deem unimportant to publish at present.
The portraits ot the four captors were portrayed
to her mind with such vivid, life-like accuracy
as to enable her at a glance to recognize one ot
tbem, and write his name with unmistakable
certainty. The name of one other has since
been obtained, and every possible means are
being employed to bring the thieves to justice."

hTKAKGE MONOaiAMA.
Longing tor Home Attempt mt Starva
tion Insane Through Homesickness.
From tht ntuturg Uantu.
One of the most singular case of monomania
of which we have ever heard was developed in
Allegheny a few days ago, attended with cir
cumstances which render the case even more
peculiar. The victim was an Irishwoman, on
married, and on the sha It side ot thirty year.
Bhe left her home on the ''gem of the sea" about
a Tear ago and came to America, winding up In
Allegheny, where teveral of her relations re
sided, irom the Bret she expressed herself as
dietatisfied with her new residence, and was
continually expressing her laments that she had
ever left Ireland. Ttiis gradually became the
thought of her mind, and she became a mono
maniac, or perhaps clearly Insane. She begged
to be taken back, but her friends, thinking it
was but a temporary delusion, gave no particu
lar heed to her lamentations, and endeavored
to make her fatislled with the change. All
their efforts failed, however, and her grief in
tensified with her monomania until she really
became ill. A physician was called in and pre
scribed for her, but she refused to take the
medicine and finally rejected all food. In this
condition she remained for twenty-two days,
to it Is averred by her friends, without taking a
mouthful of food or a stimulant deliberately
attempting to commit suicide by starvation.
She never at least ate in the presence of any
cne during that lime, and when she was left
alone with the food lu her room, evidently never
touched It, as the articles were not found dia
nrbed nor the quantity of food diminished in
the smallest perceptible degree.
At the end of the twenty-two days Bbe was
helpless, and waa thought to be in a dying con
dition, but she still had the remembrance of her
Irish home, and plead to be sent back. She
teemed to understand fully her design and would
often get violent so much so that at one time
a straight-jacket had to be brought into requisi
tion. Friday the physician, in order to try an
experiment, promised to have her se nt back if
she would take food and medicine, and try to
recover. She made him set the time two weeks,
and then immediately seemed to be Infused
with new life. With care and attention she did
recover her strength in a measure, and at the
end of the two weeks was enabled to sit up and
move about at times. She then demanned that
the promise be fulfilled, and as it was not, on
the very day assigned she again refused to take
toed, and commenced her former course.
7 be friends by this time became convinced
that nothing would save her life unless she was
returned to Ireland, and accordingly they kept
her busy preparing for a few days, until she had
gained sufficient strength to travel, and one day
last week she was accompanied to New Yom,
from whence she shipped for her old home. She
seemed to thoroughly understand what she
wanted, and mapped out the journey herself as
clearly as though in the most perfect mental
vigor. The friend who accompanied her to New
lork says sue raa recovered her reason en
tirely, and was rapidly gaining in health when
she left that port. By this time she is perhaps
within sight ot tno land she seems to have
loved so well.
