A CVBIOUS CASE A curious case of persecution through the mails has come to light in New- York The victim is the Reverend Morgan Dix. of Trinity Church, and who the heavv villiain is something the Reverend Morgan Dix and a corps of able detectives would very much like to find out. The annoyance IH>- gau abou' the middle of last month aud has been kept pretty steadily up until within a few days. Between the fifteenth and the twentieth of Feb- j ruarv manufacturers in nearly every I city "in the Union, including Cleveland j began to receive letters purporting to | come from Dr. Dix inquiring about their articles of manufacture and ask-' ing for full details, circulars, A:e. Of course such a letter from so distin guished a man as Dr. Dix was prompt ly answered, and the consequence was that the worthy Doctor, to his un bounded astonishment, found himself literallv deluged with circulars, pamph lets, and letters describing and ex tolling every conceivable variety of manufactured article. The makeis of stoves, threshing machines, steain plows, mowers, reapers, rakes, shovels, safes, locks, shoes, billiard tables, overwhelmed the unfortunate divine with epistolary attentions. The num berless and awful legions of sewing machines were turned loose upon him. The postman came to his door every morning staggering under the enor mous burden of the Doctor s astound ing correspondence. T his continued for days and days, and seemed appa rently to be never going to end, and Doctor Dix, bewildered and in despair, soon ceared attempting to explain to the circular-sending hosts that they had been imposed upon. And while this state of affairs was in full progress there suddenly opened another va.~t field of correspondence. The manu facturers were reinforced by the keep ers of the boarding schools. The Doc tor, to his amazement, learned that he had two or three little girls whom he wanted to put in a boarding school. Myriads of boarding school proprietors had, as they supposed, received letters from him, "written of course by his fiendish tormentor, and they inno ceutly added to the misery of a thoroughly miserable man by opening their circular and pamphlet and letter writing batteries upon him. The uui sance became all but unbearable, but it did not stop there. Old friends of the Doctor were dumfounded to re ceive letters from him couched in the most insulting terms, and stating that he had commenced legal proceedings against them. And so in addition to the manufacturing and the boarding school correspondence there developed another enormous branch of literature in the shape of protests, expostulations and demands for explanations from in jured friends. And in addition to this guests began to arrive who had been invited to imaginary banquets. Then vendors of various articles called in response to postal invitations. There was one day set apart for pawnbrokers and their actually called at the Doc tor's door twenty-one specimens of that variety of merchant, all of whom had been informed by postal card that Dr. Dix desired to sell his wardrobe. In a word, every annoyance of this nature that an ingenious and malici ous person could invent was practiced. The matter was put into the hands of detectives, and from that time the trouble greatly diminished, as it was evident that the guilty person knew that he was being sharply looked after. In addition to Dr. Dix, one Buckley, a Third avenue saloon keeper, has been similarly annoyed. What the motive is, is difficult to conceive, as it is not a promising was of conducting a black mailing enterprise, Dr. Dix is inclined to think, and with some show of rea son, that the author of the annoyance is some half-crazed person with a mania and the cnDning which often ac companies certain kinds of mental dis turbance. How W. H. KEMBLE SHOULD BE • DEALT WITH.—W. H. Kemble and his associates, under conviction for bri bery by their own confession, have anticipated their sentence, which must by law include fine and imprisonment., by filing an application for pardon with the Pardoning Board. The Pennsyl vania law requires public notice and a certain period after an application is filed with the Board before it can be granted. Kemble's precipitate haste is taken to prevent the possibility that a bank president, a former State officer, and a present prominent powerful Re publican politician, should have his head »haved and wear stripes, before the legal formalities of a pardon can be taken. It unfortunately appears prob able that he will succeed. His plea of guilty, with that of his associates, seems to have been given under an un derstanding that a fine only would be exacted. Such a result is little less disgraceful than an acquittal would have been. To a Pennsylvania pol itician, callous to the disgrace honora-- ble men would feel at a self-confessed conviction, a fine is mere incident in the politicial game, not a punishment. Bare conviction for "log-rolling," an offence prevaleut everywhere, is some thing, it is perhaps all that, could be obtained : but bargain and sale with a powerful sinner over the extent of his punishment robs it of moral weight. Republican Pennsylvania ought to be able to deal as sharply with Kemble as New York dealt with Tweed. He ought to be put to winding cotton yarn with Morton, the Philadelphia de faulter, in the penitentiary.— Spring- Jteld Republican. HE "DONE IT." —Mr. Piute went home from the "lodge" the other night and tackled the "fifteen" puzzle He wrestled with the thirty blocks—at least he thought there were thirty of them, he being in splendid condition to "see double" —and in about an hour and a half had the thing solved to his own satisfaction. Then he got peu, paper and ink and attempted to write out the solution, as follows : "Shove 4 down, push 1 over, carom on the 14, swing the right bower, drag out (J, keep the 10 in the kiug row, keno on the black, deal again, run the 5 from first base, move 3 to the southwest of 15, white to play and mate in twelve moves, P to K 84, QR to K, move 13 14 15 a little northeasterly, R to Rt4ch, then set 'em on the other alley, throw double 6s, roquet the 9, take the 1 on the fly, lead king, then R to R7, rake in the pot, and mo—mov— move " Ilia wife becoming alarm ed at his long absence came down Stairs at 2 a. m. and found him under the table. But he had "done it." in* ■ o <» work ou abstract principles, BOGUS DIPLOMAS [Philadelphia Record.] There is a badge of fraud in the very selection of the name of the bogus diploma factory recently exposed in these columns. It is so closely similar to that of the University of Pennsyl vania, known and honored through out the woild, as to be easily con founded with it in the minds of the un wary. The title of the fraudulent in stitution now commanding so conoid erable a decree ol public attention was verv probably luloptcd with a dtjlibcr ate purpose ol deception. Like colora ble imitations of trademarks and copy rights. it is a manifest counterfeit. The University of Pennsylvania is located in Philadelphia, and it annually grad uates a large number of physicians. The "Philadelphia University of Med icine" might easily pass for it at a dis tance from the city, and a degree given by this miserable make-believe concern might readily be mistaken for the im imprimature of what is recognized as one of the foremost of the great medi cal schools of the United States. Evidently the main object of this swindle, apart from the pecuniary pur pose it subserves to those who run it, is to supply credentials -to intending quacks by which these villanous cheats may be " helped to impose upon the public. The wickedness of such a fraud it is not needful to enlarge upon. Ihe injury done to properly instructed and reputable practitioners of the healing art aud the disgrace brought the fair lame of this city by iis existence here are sufficiently b d results; but worse than these is the sending forth to work havoc upon the community at large of licensed murderers, whose pills aud powders are potent only to kill snch patients as may fall into their hands. A sad feature of this discred itable business is the connection with it of several ministers of the Gospel. Some of these are perhaps amenable rather to the charge of thoughtlessness aud indiscretion than of deliberate and conscious criminality. The facility with which names of the highest res pectability are obtained as "trustees," "visitors," etc., of unworthy institu tions and enterprises of questionable character has become a great abuse. It would be a point gained if the easy-go ing gentlemen who lend their credit to these improper uses could be made to realize their responsibility, and an oc casional recoil upon them of their good natured folly is not altogether to be re gretted. The ecclesiastical authority to which the clergymen aiiuded to are answer able has already taken steps toward and investigation of their connection with the counterfeit "degree" mill There is no reason to suspect that there will be any whitewashing in the case. Such of the persons implicated as are found to have a guilty knowl edge of the fraud will be duly punished. AN ORIENTAL MESMERIZER. —Queer stories come from India of" these feats performed by a native mesmerizer named Buni, whose magnetic power would appear to be found quite irre sistible by the lower animals, upon he exclusively exerts it. He gives seances, to which the public are invited to bring all manner of ferocieus and untamable wild beasts, and holds them with his glittering eye. In a few sec onds they subside into a condition of cataleptic stiffness, from which they can only be revived by certain passes which he solemny executes with his right hand. A snake in a state of viru lent irritation was brought to Buni by a menagerie proprietor, enclosed in a wooden cage. When deposited on the platform it was writhing and hissing fiercelv. Buni bent over the cage and tixed his eye on the occupant, gently waving his hand over the serpent's restless head. In less than a minute the snake stretched itself out, stiffened, and laying apparently dead Buni took •it up and thrust several needles into its body, but it gave 110 sign of life. A few passes then restored it to its former angry activity. Subsequently a savage dog, held in a leash by its owner, was brought in, and, at Buni's command, let loose upon him. As it was rushing toward him, bristling with fury, he raised his hand, and in a sec ond the fierce brute dropped upon its belly as though stricken by lightuing. It seemed absolutely paralyzed by some unknown agency, and was un able to move a muscle until released from the niagnetizer's spell by a majes tic wave of his hand. THE AWFUL COMBAT OF Two MEN WITH DROVES OF RATS. —A remarka ble and perhaps unprecedented combat took place at Bostick's mill, near this place, this morning. It seems that General Bestick and one of his em ployes, Anderson Wayless, went into a cornhouse which had been stored with corn for nearly twelve months, and which has been closed for that length of time. After getting in they found the place was literally alive with rats, which began to attack fiercely the two men, who in vain attempted to beat them off. The rnts came upon them in droves, bitiug them about the hands, face and legs, several actually getting under Wavless' shirt. Both men cried for help, and were rescued from their perious situation. The whole of General Uostick's left ear was eaten off and his face horribly bitten. Wayless' nose and lips were so badly bitten that his best friends could not recognize him, and his left eye was torn from its socket.— Boston Post. THE HUMAN FFGLRE. —The pro portions of the human figure are six times the length of the the feet. Whether the form is slender or plump, the rule holds good; any deviation from it is a departure from the highest beauty in proportion. The Greeks make all their statues according to this rule. The face, from the highest point of the forehead, where the hair begins, to the chin is one-tenth of the whole stature. The hand, from the wrist to the middle finger, is the same. From the top of the chest to the high est point of the forehead, is a seventh. If the face, from the roots of the chin, be divided into three equal parts, the first division determines the place where the eyebrows meet, and the second the place of the nostrils. The height, from the feet to the top of the head, is the distance from the ex tremity of the fingers when the arms are extended. "See here, Georgie," said a fond mamma to her little son, as they were walking on the beach—"see here, what a lot of nice little round stones!" "Yes," grumbled Georgie, as he cast a oearch.ug glance around ; "aud Ijot 9 Jivutg tiling to throw 'em at J" j UniUs v£itiacu: ifeixtibnc, s!*,♦ 24,l##QU Mercantile Appraiser's List for 'BO.
