This Correspondence had not been the only communication between us, for we agreed, on the Mud leaveiitaking of 0111.' old college quarters, that visits on eisch other shouia be kept up, Jack setting aside at least two weeks iu one 'ear to be spent with me wherever I sheltie be settled, end the Year following I was to vssit with him for a short season. This arrangement had been observ- ed leY both with puuotuality. and regularity, and we became well aequaluted with each other's. ntotie of living, occupation end sur- roundings. jack was a physieian in Green- wich, Conn. Anyone knowing him during the charaoter.forming period of his life would have marked hinefor a future pity- sician, He possessed those traits of char- acter, those oddities of native disposition which mean strong individuality. He was drily humorous in his ordinary concersetaon, candid in his intercourse with his aoquaent- anises, cheerful enough on occasion, ingeni- ous in his estimate of people, not by any means brilliaut, but studious and determin- ed, especially so when concerned in the in- vestigation of subjects belonging to the ob- scure and havine a dash of the mysterious. To him the Greek grammar and Latin con- struction were dull plodding, but mathema- tics, and especially the study of mental science and of those questions the solution of which involves an exploit into the depths of psychology., were to him a genuine plea- sure. Exploring the mysteries of the human mind was that whiesh made up the texture of bis thoughts by day and was apt to weave the fabric of his dreams by night. A trick of magic, no matter how obscure, slid not interest him because there was no pretence that it a operation depended on anything but some clever tnechanieal contrivance or sleight of hand. Such things were lacking in that essential, the supernatural, which so absorbed his every thought. But an exhibi- tion of mesmerism filled him with wonder, for he recognized in it the manifestations of the unseen workings of the human mind, and much of his time was spent in the study of its strange phenomena. It was his claim that could mesmerism become other than the ungovernable thing it now is and be brought under the subjection of the human will, it would prove not only a mighty aid in medicine and surgery, but would very likely afford an explanation of those strange mental conditions which so puzzle the world to -day. Having a mind thus fashioned it was the most natural thing for Jack to take to medicine as a profession—medicine in its broad sense, the enthusiastic study of which will gratify the thinking man in his search for light upon the intimate and intricate relation of the human body to the human soul, . The newspaper field had been chosen by me as the one in which I would exploit whatever of learning and energy and deter- mination I possessed, and at this time I was engaged on a morning daily in a vigorous Michigan town. It was Jack's year to visit me, and the time being at hand when he might be looked for I had completed the few preparations &bout my bachelor belongings which his coming would make necessary, so I was not surprised when just at twilight one evening ha July he came in upon me, sitting alone, in me litative mind, in my second -story flat apartments. Not surprised, I say. At the time, truly I was not. I remember the date of his coming. It was Friday night, the 12th of July, 1877, a fact which in the light of what followed I had good reason to re- member. Our greetings were as cordial as usual, our handshaking as vigorous, and our mutual inquiries about the this= that had come into our lives since the last meeting were as rapidly and enthusiastically spoken as ever. My own experience for the twelve- month, commonplace and comparatively un- eventful, were soon told, but Nvhat they lacked in novelty and volume was made u by the perfect avalanche of incident and ad. venture Jack had to relate of hianself. He told me that night the details of experiment after experiment be had made with the hu- man physical organieese • isew Ise ned tested and analyzed and theorized in his endeavor to sift down, satisfactorily to himself, the grand mystery of what portion of man's body was most closely related to his soul; what one of the various systems in the human framework gave shape and inotion and energy to the sublime thing, mind. This was his hobby. He did not spare me. He never did Spare me when thus occupied. He bad become accustomed to having me incl ulge him when on his favorite theme. In this connection he had many new interesting stories to tell about mesmerism and what he called its measureless possibilities. He re- lated how he, while in the mesmeric sleep, at the will of a person who possessed the power of putting One under its influence, had been sent, at the instance of it hired per - sou, a staawer, to a far distant city where he bad never been before, not at least in the ordinarily understood souse of being, and had deseribed scenes and objects about the streets of flint city accurately enough to be easily recognized by the third peeson., whose home it was. Several tests of this kind had been made, eaeh time with the most aston- ishing results. Jack's enthusiasm in this narration was only equaled by the readineas with whieh he came to his conclusion, that the mind of the mesmerized subject had, un- hampered by matter, time or space, been transported at the will of a designated per- son to a place chosen by that person, and being present in that place had, of course, actually soen subjects there, and, easily enough, could tell of them; in other minds the objects had made their impressions on that mind, and, that mind returning to its accustomed habitation, the subject's bode) copd readily eve an account of those impressions. he added, with a peculiar impres- siveness in his voice " I believe that if the conditialis stee favorable the subject under the influenee'a this subtle soniethieg can be transpoi ted in spirit to it distant place, can See and talk with it second person, and this visit with all its incidents will be to that second person in everything important an absolute reality—so teal that he will never feel those unpleasant seteatione that acorn- pany what are called ghostly visitations." Jack's eonclusions and the earnestness of , hie manner were largely interesting to nie, ' and although I instinctiv4v, inclined to the maestri view of things—a iew emphasized 1 by a calling dealing chiefly with the real affairs of this life—had but little belief in anything that, could not be explained by eauSes we call natural and are easily under. etoed,, and would discredit the testimony of any persp, no matitiir hownear to me, if that testnnony conflicted with what seemed to Me reasonable, still Jack's seriousness and horiesty strangely impressed ine that night, and I, confessed to him that what eotild not be proved need not necessarily be &inked ; that there were likely stranger thinga on earth alone than Nesse known of ; and then with a wish to dimities the whole atibject for one more eheerins. I asked about wine acquaintances hod in Grenwieh„ his home, to whieh inquiries he responded and in turn asked for my father's family, who still lived on the old homestead, a few:miles from the city of my residence. I replied by arranging with Jack right there for a visit together to our early homes and straightway penned a note to my sister telline of lue awning/ of ear contemplated visithowe, and that arrangeMents might be made' for our stay. for a brief season. I sealed this letter with Jack'fi scabto the arrangement it can- veyed, stamped it. and put it in the postal box just outside my dom. The night was wearing on Mal bed was suggested, so with many pleasant antielp?, dons of what the sueceeding days ha.d. ni store for us, Jack said gooiLiught and went to his bedroom, previous visits having made him acquainted with my apartments. The night. passed uneventfay, not even a stray reminiscence of the evening's talk interfering with the senses' even repose. I awoke at, o'clock, dressed, thought of the planned visit home and the many agreeable things it promised. I did not hasten to arouse Jack, considerately thinking that the fatigues of his long journey and the late hour of retiring would prepare him for a prolong, - eel rest. More than an hour passed and I began to feel the need of eating, and was promising myself the full enjoyment of a breakfast with Jack for my company,- so I went to his bedroom to eall him, My as- tonishment was pretty evident when opening the door Jack was not in the room, alt what was stranger still, nothing it contained indicated that he had been there. The bed had not been disarranged in the least. Not a chair or other artiole of furniture appar- ently had been moved from its accustomed position. Altogether there was not a shadow of evidence that any person living had been in that room the preceding night. There were no windows in the room and no door save the one opening into the room where I slept. A person then could not get out of that bed -room and out of the house except by coming through that door and leaving by the hall door. I remembered that when I awoke this outside door was locked and bolted as usual on the insides this was recalled by the difficulty in sliding back the bolt that morning. This showed that even had Jack been disposed to leave me in that shabby manner in the middle of the night, he could not have done so, not to menticn that such a proceeding would be as unlooked for in the man as it would be unworthy of him. The truth remained, nevertheless, Jack was gone. But how he had taken hie depatture was a deep mystery to me. Strange as it was, though, no suggestion of the super- natural then entered into my calculations, and I conteuted myself with thinking that a reasonable explanation would offer itself in time. I said nothing to anyone of the oc- eurence, not caring to brave the doubt and ridicule the telling of it would likely provoke. I was extremely sandous to come to at least some plausible solution of the affair, yet the longer I sought one the more perplexed I be- came, till I had to conclude that the whole proceeding was a very vivid dream. A dream it might be; but such a conclusion was exceedingly disappointing and unsatis- factory, for in dreams persons don't grasp each other's hands, and smoke together, and talk for hours at a time connectedly on it subject, especially suili a one as occupied our attention that night. Then another cir- cumstance came to me with almost startling suddemiess. The letter! Did I write that letter to my sister, or was that, too, only a part of the dream? If she got my letter that would be proof clear enough that that night's proceedings were not a dream, let them otherwise be accounted for as they might. If the letter was written while sleeping, that would be a somnambulistic feat too formidable for belief, and besides 1 had never been known to be a sleep -walker. I could easily find out about the letter any- way. I wrote to my sister simply asking her if she got my letter, in prompt answer to which she said she had, adding that they were all prepared for and anxiously awaiting our coming. Clearly, the letter was not a dream. Then what on earth, or above the earth or under the earth would explain that nightly visit, that unceremonious and mys- terious disappearance of Jack Templeton? It began to trouble me. A weekhadpassed since that night, when a letter bearing the well known postmark of Greenwich was dropped through my door. It was fp= Jack. This is what it said : "I am very sorry my professional duties and the aurount of study I have laid out for this summer will tie me down at home, and I shall not be able to make you my usual visit this year. * * *" Merciful Heaven! The man hadn't been with me at all. Was he dead and did his shadow come to haunt me instead of his liv- ing body to visit me ? That would not be likely, for his letter was dated five days later than thatnight, and ghosts, having a wayof makingr their presence known at the precise time their disembodiment takes place, are always punctual. The letter did not so far lighten up the matter. It proceeded : You know my hobby, mesmerism, and you know how I ride it. Well, one night last week I mounted my hobby and took a long ride. 1 Nsas away out in your country, in your town, in your very room, and I sat with you and talked with you and drank with note and all but slept with you. To be ex - ea, the night was Friday, the twelfth day of this month, July. Now, all this was so real to me that I want you to write me whether on that night you remember of be- ing couscious of any unusual occurrence. Did I seem to you that I was in your com- pany that night? I want all the Diets, that I may see how they will fit a little theory I have lately been constructing." There it was, and the subject talked upon by Jack, or Jack etherealized, and me, came back, with his startling assertion about a person in a mesmeric trance being able to communicate with an abSent person, and that person to be conscious of being commtinicated with. So Jaelt in all things essential had been present with me that night. For is not the mind the conscious part, the soul, the easential thing? * 8 * * * * This narrative cleats only with the facts of it very extraordinary personal experience.

The Journalist. The chief requisites for begimiers in jour: nalism may be summed up thus s 1. A good English education. Learn first to write English ; I mean plain, straight, quiet Saxon, sturdy and lithe as a sapling. Let your Latin and Greek adorn- ments come in afterward. Study the his- tory of the world, or of Canada and Great Britain and Ireland ; and study every- thing else that you conveniently can. Drill yourself in writing swift, sharp, vivid yet graceful, accounts of everythingthat comes under your notice, puttiug it picturesquely but never at the cost of clearness and brev- ity. 2. Common sense. 3. Good judgment of the relative impor- tance of subjects. 4. Obedience, patience, punctuality. 5. In spite of attaining to all:these virtues don't be a prig. However much knowledge your brain may hold, never do or say any thing which will lead the wise to charge you with being touched by the malady known as " big head ;" conceit the wise call it. Development of the Child's Mind If any mother of thought and character was asked the question, 'What do you con- sider the most important quality to be developed ,in your child's mind the an- swer without doubt would be Truth; for the corner -stone of character is truth, and there can be no true success without it. " Electricity cannot follow a broken wire, nor success a lying life." Without truth there is no development. And how many ways there are of proving, without speaking, that absolute truth is essential in the first steps a baby takes toward learning! Give him a box of blocks to build a house, and you can show him that, unless the first blocks laid on the [icor are inline, the whole structure will be crooked ; give him a slate, said you can explain to him that in making lines, if the first is not straight, not true, the rest will all follow the first, or the spaces will not be true; in short, you can make clear to him that, in copying any work, exactness is the very foundation of success', and but another name for truth. The Successful Wife. The successful wife must represent to her husband all the virtues—must be sympa- thetic and at the same time sensible. She inust be bright, enteetaining and agreeable at home as well as rabrosel and she must know how to preserve silence when it is desireble to hold her tongue, even though she is ready to burst with indignation. If she does not possess these qualities, lot her cultivate them most assiduously. And their is no trait that is such a powerful factor in household harmony as assimilation—to be- come one in thought and purpose, to have kindred tastes and kindred wishes. The theory of the affinity of opposites was hope- lessly exploded long ago. The picture of a blonde Desclemona, clinging to a ssvartihy Othello is very pretty, but, if Othello s mind is out of tune with Desdemona the affinity cannot exist. Just the Fun of' It. He " You really went too far in your conduct with Captain Fitzhenry at the ball last night. Don't you know that you're a married woman?" She: "Yes, but he didn't" Nothing is so credulous as vanity, or so ignorant of what becomes itself.

Its injury is not confin- ed to the immediate vicenns—it extends to all; its disgrace is not limited to the offender —it falls epon all with its sphere.

The sub: treaeury can pay out it coia only to credis tors of the government.

TO the Members ef the benk awe/Mime the Bank of America issues its ces n certificates againat these deposits, redeemable on de- mand. So, when there is occasion for mak- ing a gold shipment, the coin is prepared for that purpose in the rear office of that bank; here it is bagged and kegged and made ready for shipment. Kegs in which gold is packed—" specie kegs" as they are celled—are made of extra hard wood. They must have an extra iron hoop. Specie is not thrown loosely into a keg, nor, upou the other hand, is it carefully wrappetl in tissue paper and piled up one coin upon another. The kegs serves only as a protection for canvas bags, into which the gold is placed in the ordinary hit and miss fashion of pennies in a man's pocket. Into each bag go $5,000, and ten bags fill a keg. in the interests of security, each keg is treated to what is technically known =Deg the shippers as the " red taping" process. At each end of the keg, in the projecting rim of the staves above the head, are bored four holes at equidistant intervals. A pieoe of red tape is run through these holes, cross- ing on tho head of the keg, and the ends finally meet in the centre. At the point of meeting, the tape is sealed to the keg's head by wax bearing the stamp of the shipper. Gold crosses the ocean very much as does every other kind of freight, without any special looking after. The average rate of insurance is about $2,000 on a shipment of $1,000,000 There are shippers who do nos insure. Having to ship $1,000,000, they give it in equal parts to half a dozen differ. i ent vessels. It s a strict rule with some firms never to trust more than *250,000 at a time on any one ship. A certain peaty furnishes all the kegs for gold, and packs them. The man who does this is a monopolist in his way. Shippers of large amounts always lose a few dollars by abrasion, but not exceeding sixteen ounces on a million dollar shipment. The only protection to be found .against abra- sion lies in the shipment of gold in bars instead adof coin. Gold bars are not readily obtained. The World's Elders. An European paper figures that the Chris- tian and monarchical world counts among its combined reigning families 408 princes. If the female contingent was taken into account, this figure would almost be doubled. The most flourishing dynasty is that of Hol- stein, which holds the thrones of Russia, Denmark, Greece- and Oldenburg, and num- bers fifty.threif princes, including twenty- five grand dukes, two kings and an emper- or. .Next to it is the House of Stettin, uniting the royal crowns of Saxony, Great Britain, Portugal and Belgium, besides the ducal and grand ducal scepters of Weimar, Altenburg, Coburg -Gotha and Meiningen. The Bourbons, with their forty-sevenprinces have held Sicily, Parma and Spain. More numerous than the Hohenzollerns, the Hems and the house of Savoy are the imperial Hapsburg -Lorraine, with their tbirty-three archdukes, and the old race of Wittelsbach, numbering twenty-three princes of or in. Bavaria, a distinction to which great impor- tance is attached. The once reigning fami- lies mediatized since the congress in Vienna iu 1815, are represented by 725 princes, and these have retained but a small portion of their privileges. The Hapsburgs and the Wittlesbachs are closely allied, not merely because they both belong to the Teutonic race and flourish on the same German soil, but because for many years and generations they have constantly inter -married. The lovely Empress Elizabeth of Austria is the daughter of Duke Maximilian of Bavaria, and her daughter Gisela, is the wife of Prince 'Leopold, cousin of the present King and nephew of the Regent.
