Boats were moving tilther and thither la tbe lower-lying streets, aud out In the open couutry. Held after field was changed to a lake. From aruld the waters rose a solitary farm-bouse, black against a darkeuinz sky. Tbe surging flow Leaved and tossed aud struck heavily upon It; Here was no languidly spreading expanse, but tbe hurry of the swollen river rushing impatiently forward and rising lu its Impatience higher and ever higher. At an upper window six persons were gathered, watchtuir the moilous of a light tuat came aud went slowly, and seemed to ba drawing nearer by de grees. The group wad made up of tbe farmer, his wife, three chlldien, and a young man who was tbe eldest daugh ter's lover. Tbe light was manifestly approaching, the dark shape of a boai became rlUtinet. they heard the dip and splash of the oars; at lost the boat paused ill the lee of tbe house, aud their rescue was secure. It could be seen now, in tbe liht of tbe lantern, that there were several persons in the boat, and one of them was a woman. A voice called upward to those within: "How many are you?" And a voice called down in reply: "Six." To that answer followed a moment of silence. T.:en, amid tbe sound ef the water camu up tbe words: We have only room for four." "Shall you bo able to coma back for the others?" asked tbe farmer. Again followed a pause, briefly, but sufficient to foreshadow tbe coming negative. o, hardly; it is getting too dark and too dangerous, Within were quick questionings and denials, a half heard debate, caught and lost again between the ominous beating of the rising floods. I3y day break the housetop would scarcely U left above water, even if the walls should be strong enough to hold out so long. "Jack and I will stay." said the far mer at last. -It Jack stays," so will I." austere J the clear voloe of his daughter. Thsa a man rose iu the boat and said: "Iters Is co woman who would say that for me. so let me tUy." The others ia tb boat looked at him aa he stood leasing one hand against the wall. He was a stranger who bad reached Wendeltborpe that afternoon, xnd bad volunteered his services at the 'jtartlng of the boat. The woman sitting In tbe stern nuved a little and said: "I will stay, too." All eyes turned back to her. Tier they knew. She was the new mistress of the village scUjoI. a grave young woman, and reported eccentric. There was no remonstrance from the boat; only a slow, ruminating surprise; from above, indeed, came protests, but faint and quickly overruled. A window was opened in a lower story; the two entered upon a landing that was already flooded and went quickly upward. Warm, broken thanks met them, and eager promises of re tura in tbe first hour of dawn. They stood aide by side, watching the pro gress of the departing six, and tbe wavering reflection of tbe shaken light. The room had, in the Interval, grown nearly dark. "Have you any hope of their coming back in t!me?" asked the woman. Jiol" her companion answered. ".Nor have I," said she. They stood aimlessly looking into tbe fast darkening room... The wind and the water went sweeping by outside, and In the house were ghostly sounds of doors and windows stealtnily tried and shaken. Uad we not better go op to the attic while we can?" asked the man by-and-by. fcha aseented, and they went inward to tbe dark core of the house, Tbe Inky solitude below was full of creak lngs and rustlings; above shone a equate of yellow light, revealing a steep ladder. A lighted lantern had been left for them In the attic, together with food and warm wrappings. "I will fetch tbe lantern." said he. and swung himself quickly upward. She stood below, holding fast to the Ida of tbe Udder. His quick step sounded above her head; the light shifted and brightened, aba saw his face in a quick illumination; then the light whirled toward and beyond her. down into tbe darkness and flashed upon the stairs. Her breath stood still; she bad a sickening feeling of being left alone. Assurance of her companion's safety reached her. how ever in the form of an Imprecation, checked. Indeed, lut hearty, uttered abont two feet above her head. rho handle of tbe lantern was loosa" as he came to her level. go do and fetch it up." -Jfoontt It is too dark, please oontl Lssus so no." She hid found his arm In the dark neas and held him back. In tbe dark, nesa, which was much the blacker for that brief Interposition of light, they made their way into the attu. and crossing it carefully, afraid of the low roof, and also afraid of unseen stumbling-blocks, afraid of returning upon the yawning aperture, made their way to the gray square of the window. Ilere they found a large box, upon which they sat down. Tbey spoke but little; there were so few things lelt worth utterance in such an hour aa this. By-and-by, as their eyes grew accustomed to the dimness, tbey dis cerned the general character of their surroundings. There was a table near them with food; there were boxes and bundles and a couple of old pictures brought up hither apparently when the tide begau to ris. In tbe middle lay the Llack square through which they had made entrance; at the far end a rough heap of straw was dimly distin guished, and from this came restless gnawings, scrapings and rustlings, causing the woman to shriek and shud der. I suppose tbey are rats," he said once, when the sounds grew louder. -I suppose so; do you mind very mucbl" Jio, If we could only see them." Again for a while tbey were silent, hearing tbe little sounds within aud the ever Increasing sounds without. At last the mau stood up, and pass ing bis hand across his face, said: ' t)h, this is very cold-blooded. They used to torture witches so, fixed to a stake, when tbe tide was coming up.' lie moved to and fro impatiently end stood still by tbe table. "Could you eat something?" "No, thank you.' lie broke himself a piece of bread. and returning to the window, ate a few mouthfuls. lie pushed open the lattice aud leaned out. The water was rising rapidly, and was already washing on the window of the room below. He turned back toward her a face of dismay; hers, as sue sat within tbe room, was not clearly visible, but her attitude was calm and undisturbed. lie sighed and came back quietly to sit beside her. But bis quletuess was of shcrt duration. lie asked, after a few minutes: Would you not like to go out upon tbe roof? We shall have to do It sooner or later, and I don't think we should feel quite so much imprisoned." "Oh, yes, let us go. Is there a trap door?" I don't think there is. I looked Just now. But I can get up through the window tbe roof is close above and then I can help you," lie set his foot ou tbe window sill and thrust his bead and shoulders through tbe narrow opening. Oh, yes, it is quite easy. But how it blows! We had belter have some of those shawls." She brought them up and handed them out, watched him draw himself up, and then mounted la her turn from box to window-ledge, and, reaching her hands npward, found herself lifted safelv to the summit. The surge of tbe wind and water was teriltic, her bat was blowa away at once, and she was blinded by ber hair. When she bad freed ber face and drawn up ber sbawl over her head, she was able to perceive thac tbe roof was formed of two parallel gables, and that between tbem, at each end, a stack of chimneys rose from a solid platform. Tbey went forward to the more shel tered group, and sat down on tbe block of brickwork at the base. Tbey bad before tbem tbe wide, desolate ex pans of waters; below tbem torrents ran thundering between dwelling and outhouses, and In the pauses of tbe cannonade that .beat tbe walls, aad of tbe rushing and reuding sounds within, they beard a southern wind drifting with sichs between the chimneys. There was no token of life, no light, no sound of hope. Yet tbey felt a sense of relief and freedom in being here. where tbey could see and know what was befalling. "Oh. that is better!" said she, and lifted up her face to breathe the fresher air, One would say' said he, watching the dark cameo of her face, as It de tached Itself from the straight line of masonry, that you had a kind of enjoy ment of all this." "In a sense I have. There Is so much space) and power. And there is tbe feeling of bavins' for once put ac tion and responsibility out of one's hands. There is nothing now wmcn it can possibly be one's duty to do. You don't feel any fear of death. then? I fear It physically, of course the actual chokin and drowning an, don't let uj talx of It. But at least we shall bavo tad this hour ot freedom and rest. I could bear It better, he returned, "If there were any element of struggle. To sit still in a cage until death chooses to come and put an end to you that's horrible'" She turned toward him and seemed to consider his point of view until It became bars, for sue shuddered ana said: -It ia horrible!" There was silence again between them for a little while. Again, wheu her face was bent forward, be was able to watch its outline. Surely she was much vounzer than be had supposed "What made you stay I" be asked suddenly. She hesitated a little. "What made ton?" I hardly know, more than what I said that nobody cared mach whether I did or not, and that I did not care much mvself. But I am older than you, and I have bad about aa much out of life as it win ever give mo. 'I don't think that It need be a question of age how much one's life Is worth. Mine aid not matter u any one. either; and it was not very easy or hopeful for myself. I bad wanted an much, and had to learn that I mus' An with so little. Of course It Is not noble to cars for so much about one's own petty happiness, but, oh I one does care! And then, an at once, nera was a way of escape, not selfish, but to help happier people, and . It seemea the key to everything when you stood up in the boat and said that you would stay." Vet. said he. "I could not help wondering, as we stepped out, whether what we were really giving to tnose young lovers was only time to lose their love for each other, even In re membrance. Tor death can only destroy the future, but life can destroy tbe past, too." "Are yon sorry, then, that you staved?" she inquired. There was a little note of mockery in the Question, or his conscience cre- td it "No, It teemed the thing to do. One MIFFLINTOWN. can but act in the present. And even if a man could know certain! that death would keep their love for them, and life would take it, he could hardly bring himself to say, 'Then let death come. It takes much to give death when be Is asked for the best gift. But yet, what a chance for two lovers to have died together sol" She drew rather a deeper breath, but made no spoken answer. Down at the fair horizon the late moon was rising, vagus and cloudy. A Khostly light, bringing in Its wake mys terious shadows, spread slowly as the moon drowsily lifted herself and drop ped the mists from her shoulders. The man. looting down in this clearer light to the water, started and said: "It is coming up much faster." She stooped and looked. Tbeu their eyes, lifting, sought each other. Botu faces were pale in the moonlight. On both sat the human shrinking from this upward crawling fata. let it was something to see each other. How long is it to morning?" she asked. lie drew out his watch, but there came a cloud across the moon, and tbey had to wait. "It is just past twelve," said he. "Perhaps they will come out by moonlight." "i'erbaps," said be. But neither of tbem had any trust in the hope. lie had seen In the moment when they looked at each other that she was Indeed younger than his first supposi tion, though hardly so young as his second. She mlzht be five-and-twenty. It was not the face of a girl. She had returned to ber former position, aud now, leaning back against the chim ney, lifted up her face to the sky. Her eyes were closed and her lips drawn In. There was but time to look before tbe lips curved again into a smile ani the eyes opened to a calm gaze. The man sitting beside her heard tbe changing and deepening tone of tlii water as it came up and up. "You are too young for this," sail he abruptly. Ills yoice bad changed and deepened like tbe tone ot the water. "No, no," she answered after a mo ment. "Don't trouble about me." I do trouble about you. It is horri ble! horrible!" She again kept silence for a Utile space; then she said: 'V ben I heard you say that In the boat, and get up to stay, I felt, suddenly, as if it was a cruel thing not to stay with. you, too as weu as to save tbem." She had been obliged to speak tbe last words loudly, for the wind rose suddenly and fiercely, aud the shock of the water broke noisily oa the walls. And as she ceased came a terrible crash; tbe whole building creaked and swayed, there were heavy splashes in tbe water, and water spouted over them as they caught and clunz to each other. Long hair was blown before his face. Tbey held each other fast, panting and trembling. She freed a hand and drew aside her hair. Theie was a sound of water trickling and dropplnz. The calm moon, pursuing her leisurely pathway, passed out from behind a cloud and showed tbem that the plat form at the other end of tbe house had given way. and the stack of chimneys opposite bad fallen. "If it bad been these I" she said. They crouched nearer together, each still holding to the other. Tbe fear in each mind now was tbe fear of being divided, of losing all human compan ionship. The waters were rising faster, faster, it seemed, with a malignant, hungry joy. "It can't be long now," said tbe man. No." said she. There were a few mere life-long mo ments in which they sat silent, breath ing hard. The wild gust of wind abated; the moon found a wide, open archway, among the clouds; tbe face of the waters grew by comparison still again. "And so," said he. it was for me you stayed, and even at the end I can't go away In peace without pulling down some one else. And you, who stayed, are a stranger, and we shall die here together, strangers. Oh, tbe Irony of this world! All my life I have been solitary and deserted. It has been my rauit no doubt it has been my fault; and now life Is over. It's all too late, and there's no time, She remained silent, and the monoto nou pulse of the water throbbed below. "But if, by rny miracle, we should be stved, at 1-st we know each other now." said he. "Do we? Well, the depths, perhaps, of each other, but not the shadows. If we were to be saved we should reel like friends till we came to land, and than you would go your way and I mine; and If we were to meet once a week for a twelve-month we should speak to each other at first, and then we should nod and smile, and by-and-by we should pass and take no notice. No, what knowledge or friendship we have does not beloug to this lifer' "You believe, then. In another?" "It is hardly that I believe in an other life so much as that I can't be lieve In death. We could not be capa ble of so much, aud desirous of so much and nothing come. We have not half enough. I feel so much. much more, ao, 1 am not afraid. There's more." lie In bis turn was silent. Perhaps be foretold, out of pity, to pnt forth a word against her hope. Terhaps in bis souL too. a like hope, which he had taken to be long dead, began to stir and murmur. The moon had put on. minute by minute, a fuller glory; it was illuminat ing an arch of clouds, and beyond the arch lay measureless, liquid, lurid depths. She looked and pointed up ward. The full glow sbone on her face. lie saw in her dark eyes a slow, inef fable softening; in all the lines of her features breathe! a spirit of exultant reception. "The open doorway of infinity." said he, fitting to this radiance Its apt poetic description, but without any thing ot the poet's rapture of belief. Her lips moved to a recognizing smile. "And can you look up to that and despair?" she asked. "That has no voice for me. It is too far off, too silent, too unmoved. That glory may come back as serene. to look down on my drowned face. But you heve to die with me. What hope there is n life or death you have shown me. f don't know that It Is lasting or good for much; but such as it is. it comes rrom you. Again tbe wat came rushing over the fallen chimneys and they looked ut In momentary apprehension. But (be sudden torrent subsided and the waters went on rising again slowly as before. He then quietly proceeded; JUNIATA COUNTY. One thinks of life as the life one has known. To-night a glimpse has come to me of something that seems to make life worth going on with. It maybe life on tbe other side of a division; I cant tell. 1 don't want to be camel back Into the old life, but I do wan't life the life that I nearly saw just now, when we thought that our timt was upon us. And 1 have found you standing with me upon the brink. We do not know each other, you say; we are not friends, and we can't be. t d?n't know. I only know that I woulJ neither go on or back, alone." Her hand, which still clung to hl arm, trembled and was withdrawn, and tbe next moment stole softly Into bis. Tbey sat quite silent, and tbe endless night drew on. Memories rose before each of tbem of hopes and dreams that bad once been ail in all, and now were small and faint and immeasurably dis tant. Around tbem, rising always, surged tbe persistent waters. Now and again, gusts of wind awoke sud denly and brought a sweep of waves over the submerged masonry. Presently oozing drops began to creep between tbe chimneys behind tbem. n e must go up higher," said the man. They quitted their sheltered nook. and, mounting, stood upon the plat form of brickwork. Tbe wind llung itself upon them in fury. They clung to tbe chimneys aud to each other, and for a few minutes stood ea, battling strenuously to keep their foothold. Tbe man cried out suddenly: "Ob. If there were only some place for youl It is too hard a death for you. I am so sorry for you!" And even w bile be spoke tbe water was up about their feet, snatching aud dragging at tbem. I am not sorry. And. oh. no, it is not hard; it is tbe best moment life has ever brought me," she answered. tier voice was blown away as it crossed her lips. It was only because they weie uttered at his ear that he could hear her words. And his reply tbe wiuds snatched and carried away forever. The time of words was over. There was nothing now but hard-drawn breath, and vain resistance, and then a placid moon shining over a waste of floods. bfuKEPIXG WONDERS Prats Accomplished by Some Men W bile ia tlio Arms ol Morpheus, Sleep In most individuals lasts for the space of eight hours. Kxcoptious to this statement are numerous; whether these arise from duty or lazi ness we shall not venture to examine. Sir K. Codrington, the famous naval officer, when a raids' 1 jmau, could watch on deck for niuetvt': hours; tins left only five for sleep, which in his case was most profound so profound that no noise was sulHcleutly strong to waken him; yet if the word 'VSigualr' was whispered in bis ear he awoke aud was on deck iustantly. Reporters in tbe House of Commoes require great exertiojs to keep them- salves from sleeping. A few years ago a distinguished member of the "gentle men in tbe gallery" took down a speech while asleep. His statement rests ou his oath. Calvin tells of a friend ot his reading aloud U him while asleep. Tbe orgau of vision was a. one active. Coleridge, tbe Oreamiug philosopher, composed "Kubla Khau" (one of bis poem) whl'e fast asleep. Next morn ing he was sure there had been an acquisition to bis literature, but was too negligent to write the stanzas. A few days afterward be attempted to recall tbe verses, but tbey bad for tbe most part lied, and tbe poem as it now stands is but a fragment. .Every one knows that extremo fatigue induces sleep, aud this in spite of surrounding relations which, in ordinary circumstances, would binder any one from resting. Previous to the shortening of tbe hours or work, fac tory children frequently foil asleen while working at t!i machines, al though well aware t..at they would incur severe punisbmuut by doing ax Tbe North American Indian, at the stake of torture, Las been kuown to go to sleep on the least remission of agony, and will slumber u-itll tbe fire is app-ied to awaken him. It Is on record that, during the heat of the battle of the Nile. Lome of the over-falieued boys fell as'eep upon tbe deck, and during tbe attack upon Ran goon, in tbe Burmese war. thj Captain of one of the steaul fr.ga'ei most ac tively engaged, worn out by tbe excess of continued mental tension, fell asleep aud remained perfectly unconscious for two hours, within a yard of his largest guns, which were being worked energetically tbe whole period.

Captain Bar clay, when accomplishing bis extraor dinary teat of walking oue thousand miles in as many successive hours, obtained at last such a mastery over himself that he fell asleep the instant he lay down. The doctor's wife never hears the door -'jell during the night, although tbe noise Is sufficient to rouse the wearied husband; but should a child in the nursery cry, then the mother, oblivious of all other sounds, bears at once tbe Infant's voice. It is related that the Abbe Parla, who acquired notoriety through bis power of inducing somnambulism, was accustomed merely to place bis patient in an armchair, after telling him to shut his eyes and collect him self, and pronouned in a strong voice, "Dormezl" which was usually suc cessful. There seems to be no limit to the wonders displayed by a man in sleep ing. Concerdet, tbe mathematician, solved one ot his most difficult prob lems while asleep a problem, too, which puzzled him during his waking hours. A professor of theology In the University of Basle once wrote a ser mon while asleep. He found it in his desk next morning. The preceding mgbt he could not grapple with tbe subject as be desired, but the perform ance of his sleeping hours was quite satisfactory to him. Jenny IJnd was one of the most celebrated singers of her time. No one could rival ber powers but a factory girl, who sang sometimes better than the famous Jenny. The girl could not attempt any difficult piece when awake, but when sleeping she sang so correctly, so like the renowned artiste, that it was difficult to distinguish be tween their voices. On one occasion Mad. Lind heard the girl, and even tested tbe accuracy of her powers by giving her a long and elaborate chro matic exercise. This the sleeping girl performed, much to the wonder of the famous Swedish singer. He whe Is In love with binself has no rival. PENNA.. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 5, 1SSS. Tales of Old Sunken Citlea There is no superstition so wie spread in Europe as that of a sunken city which has disappeared below the surface of a eea or a lake at some un known period in the past. When tbe waters are rough the tips of the spires of its churches may be seen in the trough of the waves, on calm days one bears tbe distant sound of their bells, drowned by tbe ocean. The name of the city in Germany is given ss Vin eta, and it lies in the vicinity of the Island of Rugen. . Werner has a novel entitled Vlneta," which 's iased on this superstltiou, and W. M iller (father of Max iluller) an exquisite little lyric under tbe same title. Here is Maugan's translation ot the first two stanzas: "Bark! the faint bell of the sunken olty. Peal once mora tneir wonted evening caiiae; Freut ibeueep sbynses fl sis s d.ltr. Wild and woadroiu, ot tlie olden' lime. MTemples, towers and domes of many stones There lie buried in u ocean grave, rndeftcribed, save wnen tneir gmden glories Gleam al sunset, tarougn Uie iig&ied wsve." In Brittany th sunken city is called Is, and various places along the cost pointed out as its site. Ernest Renan has made use of the old legend in the preface to his 'Sou veil rs de Jenesse" as follows: "It seems to me that I have in my own heart a towa of Is, which still has lU obs,ma.e bells that ring for tho sacred offices and call for men who hear no more. Often I stop and listen to these trembling vibrations, which seem to come from infinite depths, like voices from another world. As age corns ou I t-ke pleasure, es pecially during the summer. In collect ing these distant sounds of a lost At lantis." Lough Neagh. in Ireland, is in pop ular tradition held to have been origi nally a fountain, which overflowing, buried a whole district under Its wa ters. Thomas Moore alludes to thi tradition lu bis poem, "Let Krin Re member:" "On LoogM NeagU's bank, ss the Ballerinas strays. w jen the clear, cold eve's declining, lie sees tue roun I towers of oiner dsyi In tne waves beneath niin saiuiog.

Thrilling with that curious pleasure which comes to thosa or us who are ro mantic when turning over tbe relics ot the past, with what interest we han dle old letters yellow with age, but still tied with tbe true-love knot of bl'ie ribbon; volumes of poetry with Inscrip tions of tbe enthusiastic sort, now out of date, written in an elegant hand oa tbe fly-leaf, and with tlie tenderest ver ses marked with rose-leaves, silken scarfs to which time has given mellow tints no dyer wots of; quaint garments that make one fcioile, yet which may have set off dimpled beauty rarely; a sword on which tbe rust of a century has gathered; a great watch that still has power to tick, though its maker, and he who wore it bxve been ashes for generations. And suddenly In the midst of our en enjoyment, a thought will creep over us that makes our hearts stand still. The time must come will surely come. If we have anything behind us when gay young folk", whose grand mothers are yet unborn, will some day find a treasure In some queer old thing they have discovered just fit for the masquerade; and those queer old "things' will be our preseut best clothes and tbe bonnet that waj thought "a love" in Paris. They will peep into our letters and try to make love stories out of them, and wonder at our taste in books; and we well, at least wo shall not be here. The earth will be ours no more its pleasant places or its shadows, Its griefs, or its delights.

Peters, the colored pugillist, took a little trip into the country last month for a vacation, and as has often hap pened to white men under the same circumstances, he sot dead broke flf ly miles from home and started back by the king's highway. One day, when he had reached the thirtieth mile post west of Detroit, be met a wagon-load of people going to a picnic TLere was a smart Aleck in the wagon, and he ordered a halt and said: "I've got to lick this nigger or we won't catch any fish to-day." Several of tbe people protested and argued, but the young man was bound to show oST, aud he jumped dowu, pulled off his coat and replied: "Nigger, can you njht?" "No, sab," replied Peters, as he backed away. "I'm sorry for you, but I've got to do It. I'll be as easy as I can, though." He put up his dukes and made a rush. Then the heavens and the earth seemed to come together, and all the powder mills In tbe country exploded at once. "You've killed him!" shouted the occupants of tbe wagon in chorus. "No I haven't. I jist reached fur de pint of his jaw, an' he'll come to In about a minut." He was a true prophet. Aleck opened bis eyes after a bit, sat up, rubbed his jaw, and then suddenly dashed for the wagon and climbed in. "How about the fish. Bah?" asked Peters, as the wagon was about to go on. "Fish! fish!" shouted Aleck, as he got a fresh brace on his jaw, "dura your black hide, but do you suppose I want the whole earth?" Boys in Hoc Weather. There is one class In the community who never allow hot weather to bother tbem; in fact tbey don't seem to realize that such a thing exists. We allude to the boys. Who ever knew a boy to consult a thermometer on a bot day, or wear a cabbage leaf lu bis hat be rarely keeps a bat on his bead or carry an umbrella to ward off the sun's rays, or ask a comrade, "Is it hot enough for you?" Never one. With the mer cury standing at 99 degrees in tbs shade (or lying down thoroughly ex hausted In tbe sun) the boys carry themselves just as though there was nothing unusual in the weather at all. They engage in their accustomed games, play base-ball beneath a blazing sun. run and sport in apparent uncon sciousness that such a thing as sun strokk ever existed. To be sure, they object to any superfluous clothing, and prefer that what they do wear be ot the thinnest variety. Hats or caps they have no use for, unless it be for foot balls, or to catch minnows In whet they co Ashing. Happy boys I EXPERIMENTS OJ HYPNOTISM. Strang) Dolnirs of the Doctor in Par-ia Startling Mental Phe nomena. Dr. Luys recently made a communi cation to the Academy of Medicine on this subject which electrified the mem bers present. It was on tbe action, both at a distance and by direct con tact, of certain medicated and fer mented substances en hypnotic sub jects. The latter were all women who could not possibly have got their cue beforehand, and were being observed while Dr. Luys operated by a jury of scientists above all suspicion of having lent themselves to any trickery. A tube lu one Instance was filled with sulphate of strychnine by Dr. Luys, and the subject, who was not present, was told to put it to tbe left side of the nape of ber neck. Soon after there was a telephonic message from the foreman of the jury to say that tbe pa tient suffered in tbe left side from muscular contractions, convulsive starts and a rigid body. When the drug was placed on the right side of the nape (in imagination) the same phenomenon took place. An experiment, or rather experi ments, was made on subjects who were brought in to the operator. They bad no idea what Dr. Luys was going to use. Alcohol when put to the nape in a tube no larger than a bomcapathlst's vial and hermetically sealed produced exactly the same effect as if imbibed at a bar. Absinthe, haschlsb, opium, morphine, beer, champagne, tea and coffee were in succession tried with their characteristic effects. But "tbe cup which cheers but not inebriates" was found too exciting for French neuropaths. Valerian caused the deepest sadness. The thoughts of tbe patient were centered In a grave. She was Impelled irresistibly to stoop down and scratch the ground, and thought herself in a cemetery exhuming a de ceased relative whom she loved. Un der the illusion she fancied herself picking up bones belonging to this skeleton, which she handled with ten der reverence, and when there was an imaginary mound of tliem she placed, with deep drawn sighs and tears and genuflections, a cross above them. Under tbe influence of baschis!i every thing looked rosy and gayety pre vailed. The subject was a young girl, very fond of tbe drama. She fancied her self on tbe stage and play In g a part which suited her to perfection. It was in a bouffe opera and she sang her score admirably. The sentiments were expressed with delicate feeling Dr. Luys can, according to the substances be uses, run through the whole gamut of human passions and emotions. What is most strange is that no trace of tbe fictitious world In which tbe hypnotized subject has been wandering remains when real consciousness Is re stored. It Is very rare for even tbe idea of having been in dreamland to survive the awakening from tbe hypno tic trance. Dr. Luys says that hypnotic suggestion sometimes ha3 periods of incubation more or less long. The subject is at first gently drawn to do a certain thing or things, aud then the drawing becomes an Irresistible im pulse. Tbey are first as If tempted aud then as if possessed. Tbey can no more help themselves than a man who bad got to the verge of Niagara Falls in a boat could help going over. Dr. Roger moved that the academy name a commission to inquire into hypnotic suggestion, near and at a dis tance. Dr. Bronardel supported him. He said: "All that Dr. Luys has al leged aud shown cannot fail to make a noise throughout the world. Nobody but MM. Burot and Bouron have gone so far as Dr. Luys. He not only force on the attention of the academy the ques tion of hypnotism, but of persons being affected by poisonous substances which do not penetrate, or it may be even touch their bodies. This is from a legal point of view a great danger. A great social responsibility is involved iu the matter. It is the duty of the academy to have the experiments of Dr. Luys repeated, with others that bear uion tbem. Was it Murder? I have thought it over and over, and cannot come to any definite conclusion. Was I justified in killing tbe man? If I was, I am a benefactor to some of my fellow-creatures; if I was not, I urn a murderer. My readers shall have an opportunity of judging, and I hope their judgment may be lenient. Some years ago I was well off, and received the education and bringinx np of a gentleman; but partly through my own folly, and partly through un fortunate speculations. 1 gradually lost all my capital, and about two years ano 1 found myself penuiless, and saw starvation grinning at me within meas urable distance. Then I determined to attempt no longer to keep up appear ances, but to try aud earn a bare exist ence in any walk of life that was open to me. After some fruitless efforts and a good deal of tbe hope deferred which "maketh tbe heart sick," 1 ob tained through tbe kindness of a gentle man connected with tbe Great Junc tion Railway, the position of stoker. I never was given to drink, so that I was well enough able to fulfil tbe lowly duties or my position, i am now a statlonmaster; and it is during my few hours of leisure that I prepare this plain narrative for tbe decision of a discerning public. It is a great point for a stoker to be on good terms with tbe engine-driver, and I generally found little trouble In making friends with my nearest trav eling companion. On the day when I went through one of the most disagreeable experiences of my life, I was traveling from Padding- ton to Cowcbester on tbe well-kn wn to railway employees engine named Pluto." The engine-driver on this occasion was a man named John Mor gan. I had not often traveled with blm before, only two or tnree times. and I never could get on comfortable with him. He had been many years in the company's service, and bore an ex cellent character for steadiness, but was considered rather taciturn. He seemed to be always on tne sulks, and was of a surly temper. Before we started, be hardly answered any re mark I addressed to him, and seemed more surly than usual. Once when I took up a cloth to brighten one of Pluto's taps, be called out to me In s savage tone, "Let ber alone, cant you. I'll make ber travel to-day with out your bothering." I made blm no answer, as I did not see the good of having a quarrel in the small space we were con B tied to. The tram W-is to start at twelve noon, and before that time we on the engine were all ready; but it was a Quarter-past twelve before we got the signal to move. There was such a crowd of peo ple of all classes on tbe platform that room could hardly be found for them In the train. However, at last the beadguard gave us tbe signal, and Morgan turned the handle and we moved slowly and steadily out of tbe station. When we got out well into tbe country, Morgan tuned to me and said shortly, "More coaL" Now, in my opinion, no more coal was wanted, as there was quite enough in the fire to keep up the usual speed. However, as a stoker, I was only an underling, and must obey reasonable orders. So I stoked as bidden, and then curiously watched to see if the engine-driver would turn on fell speed. He did nothing of the sort, but sat with bis back to the boiler, aud began to . talk to me quite affably. Amongst other things, he said he was quite tired of this perpetual traveling, and that he meant to look out for a wife with a little mousy, and never set foot on an engine again. Tl ere was nothing at this time peculiar in bis manner, except that be was more talka tive than usual, and be would now and then turn half round to tbe engine and call, "Get on, old girl, get on!" We had before us a run of an hour and a half, and by that time we were due at Blinton, a big junction, at which every train must stop, so we had plenty of time to talk. About an hour after leaving Pad- diDgton, Morgan stopped suddenly in tbe middle of a sentence, and said. Well, 1 must get to work now." Then he opened tbe fire-box door, aud called out to me, "More coal." I expostulated with him, and pointed out that we were going at a high rale of speed, and would not need more coal before Blinton, but this seemed to excite him terribly. "Shovel it in!" he roared, with an oath; "I'm going to make her travel." To pacify him. I took up a shovel ful, and managed to upset a good deal ot it before I reached the fire-box. "You clumsy fooll" be called out; here, give it to me." And snatching the shovel out of my hands, be crammed ou as much coal as be could get in. 8JI was beginning to get alarmed; and looking out over tbe well-known country for I had travelled that jour ney many and many a time be to re I saw that we were much nearer to Biiu ton tlian we ought to be at that hour. However, I thought it did not much matter, for tbe line was signaled clear In front of us. aud the damage doue. as yet, was simply a little waste of coal. In a few minutes our speed in creased enormously, and I calculated we were traveling at the rate of seventy miles an hour. I thought it was time to remonstrate; aud turning to Morgan, I noticed that the Indicator showed full speed. 1 called bis atten tion to tbe fact, and begged lilui to reduce tbe speed, or we should lun into Blinton without being able to stop. "Ha, bal" he cried In reply, fctopl I'm never going to stop again! I told you I'd make her travel. Wliat do you want to make ber stop for? Get ou, old wench, get ou!" Then he burst into a hideous peal of laughtsr. A cold sweat of absolute terror broke out ou mn as I realized the state of things. Here was a raving maniac, a far stronger man than myself.iu charge of a train full of people. I bit my Hps and clenched my bands, aud tried to collect my scattered ideas aud decide what was best te be done. Meanwhile Morgan sat on a rail near the boiler flourishing a shovel and shouting up roariously. Tbe train rushed on with incredible speed, not steadily and evenly, but with leaps aud bounds that threatened to cast the engine off the line at every yard. Th.-re was do doubt tbe man was as ma 1 as a man could be, and be was also master of tbe situation. I made one effort to reach the handle by which t..e steam Is turned off; but ttii madman was too sha-p for me. No you don't!" be Blunted. He brought his shovel down with a tre mendous blow on tbe rail t my side. juet missing my bead. It was plain 1 could do nothing by force. V ould stratagem be of any use? I looked out to the country, time was running short, we were not more than twenty miles from Bliuton Junc tion; aud if we did not stop there, the whole train must inevitably be wrecked, and probably not one passenger would escape Injury, and but few with their lives. I looked back to the train. Outside the windows were hands ges ticulating, and frightened, alarmed faces. At the end of the train, tbe guard was waving a red flag. Some thing must be doue, and by me, or we would all be Inevitably lost. 1 made up my mind. I turned to Morgan with a smile "n my face, and I said: "Old boy, you're quite right; this la a Cue pace, but it ain't quite fast enough. Look here!" aud I caught him by t!;e arm aud led him to the side of the engine next to the double rail. "Seel" 1 cried; "there is another train coming up faster thau us, and she will pats us; we must go faster; but let's see first who Is driving her; lean forward aad look. Can you see?" Tbe poor maniac stepped outsids the rail and leaned forward to look for the imaginary tram, when I gave bim a sudden push and he fell In a heap on tbe side-rails aud was killed on the pot. With a gasp of relief I sprang back to the engine and turned oil the steam. It was not a moment too soon. We were well in sight of Blinton Junc tion before I bad the train properly under control. I pulled up at tbe plat form all right, and then I fainted. When I came to, I was lying on a bench in tbe waiting-room, and tbe inspector was standing over me, with bis notebook in his band, prepared to take down my statement. What I stated was, that tbe engine-driver bad gone mad, and that, to save tbe life of the passengers, I bad knocked him off tbe engine just in time to get tbe train under control before running into tbe station. This was corroborated by the guard and several passengers, and tbe case was brought before tbe solici tors of the company. I gave my evi dence at the inquest, and heard no more of tbe matter until one day tbe passenger superintendent handed me ten sovereigns and a letter appointing me station-master at Little Mudford. It was evident tbe directors condoned my conduct; and I hope that my readers will agree with them, and In consideration of my having saved a train full of people, will acquit me of murder, and bring in a verdict of just ifiable homicide.
