Leonard Weetveer is a paper-hanger who
resides at Rochester, Cla., Mr. VVestvcer’e
family consists of himself, wife, two
daughters and a son, 12 years of age,
named A- ny.
The family is of Dutch descent and well-
to-do. Its members have attended the ,
Dutch Reformed church, and are con- |
sidered among the leading members of the |
congregation. It is the boy Aruy about i
whom interest centers. Five weeks ago j
he was seized apparently with a form of j
St. Vitus’ dance, and for fully fifteen
minutes was unable to control the mus
cles of his lower limb3.
The fit passed oif, and no other symp- !
toms appeared until lie retired in the even- j
ing. Alter getting Into bed he was seized
again with a shock, which apparently af
fected all the muscles in his body. j
The boy criod for help, and his parents '
entered the room. As thev did so they I
were astounded to seotlio chairs and other
furniture moving up and down, seemingly
in unison with the movements of his mus
cles.
The chairs would rise six or eight inches,
whilo the bed mid a bureau would shnkc
perceptibly. Finally the shock passed
away and the motion ceased, only to be
followed, as the family ktate, by noises—
rappings which seemed to come from the
walls and ceilings of the room. The rap
pings also died away.
Since that time Arny has had the fits or
shocks at intervals of two or three days.
They are now increasing in frequency, and
hardly a day passes without one, though
they do not increase in violence. In each
instance the shocks were accompanied by
the moving of articles in the vicinity of
the boy.
Residents of the neighborhood soon
heard of the peculiar ease, and it was gen-
•erally believe’d the story told by the fam
ily was a hoax. Several prominent resi
dents called at the house one evening to
see for themselves. While there the boy
was attacked so strongly that it required
two men to hold him in his chair. Mean
while everything in the room except the
-caipets were in motion. Chairs rose to
two feet high, and a heavy center-table
was lifted several inches above the floor.
Since the evening mentioned parties
have been at the house almost duily to wit
ness the strange phenomena. Among
those who have called were Rev. Peter De
Bruyn, pastor of the church which the
Westveers attend, and Rev. Mr. Merersina,
of the German church.
Young Westveer has had medical at
tendance for about a month, and has been
watched by Drs. Schuehart, Kemp and
Stillwell. The physicians are all puzzled
by the symptoms. They say he is not
troubled with St. Vitas’ dance or epilepsy.
Drs. Kemp and Schuehart are inclined
to believe he has heart disease, but Dr.
Stillwell siiys his heart is in a normal con
dition. It beats eighty to the minute in
the daytime und sixty-five when he is
•asleep. It increases in rapidity often to
110 when the paroxysms seize him. The
physicians scout the idea of witchcraft,
but cannot account for the movements jf
furniture and the rappings which accom
pany each spell.
The victim of this strange malady is
perfectly conscious when under its influ
ence, and can converse. Ho is, however,
powreless to control himself, and cannot
move a muscle until the trouble possess
off.
When the attack seizes him he general
ly has strength enough, if not in bed. to
sit in u chair, but of late is generally under
its influence about 10 o’clock in the even
ing, or just after going to bed. He feels
no pain, but the doctors say he if becom
ing weaker and weaker, and that should
the fits continue much longer lie will die
from exhaustion.
There is nothing peculiar in his counte
nance when attacked, except the uupils of
the eyes dilate and grow more brilliant,
like a person in a fever. Physically the
boy is somewhat small for his age, and of
dark complexion. Ilia eyes are brown,
and his general appearance that of a deli
cate person. The remainder of the family
are in good health, and have never had a
symptom of the illness which affects the
boy.
Occasionally articles in another room
from that in which he is are affected, but
■only when the sp Us are very violent. The
articles nearest him move more than oth
ers. As an illustration of the power of
these movements, it is related that the
boy was in the yard about two weeks after
the attacks began, and was seized with
one.
About ten feet away were two planks,
each two inches thick and several feet in
length. The ends nearest him were raised
over two feet in the air, but immediately
dropped to the ground.
The strange case has attracted wide
spread interest, and crowds visit the house
nightly. Superstitious persons firmly be
lieve young Westveer is the victim of an
evil spirit, or is bewitched, while Spiritual
ists say he is a medium.
HUNTING A LONG-LOST HEIR.
Tlir ilonmiice of a Deserter from the French
Newport, R. I., October 31.—Adolphe
Balashe andJohniE. Girard, of Cherbourg,
France, are searching all the mill localities
in the state for one Edouard Marie Reca-
mier, who must be an old man by this
time, but who, if found, will have no diffi
culty in coming into possession of a large
fortune, which awaits him in France, his
native land. Recamier is believed to have
followed from his youth the calling of a
weaver, and there is evidence that he came
to Rhode Island and found employment.
Messrs. Balashe and Girard are endeavor
ing in a legitimate and honorable manner
to secure the reward offered for the dis
covery of the whereabouts of the object of
their search. They state that during the
first empire and when Mine. Recamier
was a noted belle, a near relative of hers
and heir to large estates, deserted his fam
ily and entered the navy as a sailor under
an assumed name. He was but a mere lad
at the time, and was placed on board of
the brig Pomme d’Or, which saw consid
erable service during Napoleon’s reign.
Young Recamier was naturally unsuited
to his position and he was not long in
gaining the ill will of his messmates and
of his superior officers as well. Accus
tomed to a life of ease and luxury, he found
living on board ship before the mast as a
common sailor very disagreeable, and he
was often disciplined for disobeying orders.
A young lieutenant who had obtained his_
commission through the intercession ot
Mme. Recamier, complained of him often,
and finally succeeded in having him triced
up to the breech of a gun, where lie
was obliged to submit to a flog
ging. The lieutenant little real
ized who the young man was, but
the latter knew him. Heat once became
a sworn enemy to the empire. While his
ship was at New Orleans lie deserted her,
and coming north he fell in with a French
girl near Boston and made her his wife.
The girl was an operative in a cotton niiil,
and she supported her husband. A child i
was born, and soon after the event Reca-i
mier deserted them both.
When the first empire was overthrown j
he returned to France and had the privi- ,
lege of assisting in the execution of the i
lieutenant who had humiliated him on
hoard ship. While in France he paid i
court to n lady of rank, a relative, it is said, j
of Mme. Roland, and he concealed his j
American marriage The lady's name was
Mile. Arnot, and she soon married lie
cornier. Seven children were born. Mr.
and Mrs. Recamier died about BO years ago. !
Ten years after their death their children,
who had come into possession of their j
property, discovered a paper among their
effects which disclosed the fact of the first
marriage, which, of cours , mode the ,
second marriage illegal. It was learned :
from the paper that .Recamier had made ;
some efforts to discover his ■
first wife and her child in order
that he might in a measure atone ,
for the "-rojor which he had done. The l
heirs by tile i>. -o..d marriage agreed to de
stroy the paper and divide t he property i
among them. The paper was destioyed,
and for forty years Hie estates have been
in their hands. But Uie secret, couhl not |
be kept. An inevitable quarrel took place,
and one of t he parties, now rich from ot her
sources, disclosed t he scandal for revenge, \
and offers to give up his portion of the m- :
heritanee, knowing that the others will be
ruined when they are obliged to follow his '
example. A reward of 20,()00f was offered
for the discovery ofthcchild by Mio Amer
ican marriage, which is Reeamler’s first
born and heir to his estates. Messrs. Gi
rard and Balashe are in earnest, and will •
leave no stone unt urned to find the missing
heir. 1
THE BRIDE HAD FLED.

Keyport, N. J., October-31.—Miss Jen
nie Anderson, a pretty and attractive
young blonde of about eighteen summers,
has sometime past been receiving tho at
tention of Fred Joslin, an employe in Van
Deventur’s factory at Cliifwood. Mr.
Joslin urged his suit so well that in less
than three months he had proposed, had
been accepted, and the wedding hud been
set for yesterday.
Early in the morning, accompanied by a
few friends, Joslin went to Miss Ander
son’s home, expecting to go with her to
the house of a clergyman and have the im
portant ceremony performed. He was
amazed to find the house deserte'd. Final
ly, however, lie found Mrs. Anderson in
the outside kitchen, and together they
searched the house ior the missing maid
en. She could not be found. As a last re
sort Joslin went to the parsonage, think
ing that through a misunderstanding Miss
A nderson might have gone there alone.
His inquiries were answered with aston
ished negatives, and the young man woke
to the embarrassing fact that he could not
provide the expectant dominie with the
paraphernalia for proving the paradox
that one and one sometimes makes one. In
fact, the young lady had evidently shown
the fallacy of that computation by uncere
moniously betaking herself to parts
unknown. Her flight has caused much
comment here, where the parties are
well known. Nobody can explain the
mystery, or at least nobody will. Young
Joslin thinks the girl may have been kid
naped, but others recall the fact that Miss
Anderson has often been seen of late with
one of Joslin’s best friends, with whom he
was so intimate, in fact, that he has often
accompanied Joslin on his visits to the
charmer’s abode. This young man is con
spicuous by his absence from the town,
and this fact lends credibility to the theory
that the missing maid is not alone. Miss
Anderson’s brother, who strongly favored
Joslln’s suit, is on the warpath, and threat
ens that if he finds his sister with the other
man he will shoot him without ceremony.

“This is the season in which the profes-
sional pickpocket begins his professional
operations in earnest,” said one of the
police officers at the Central office last
evening. "Of course,” said he, “they are
generally on the alert at all times for busi
ness, but just now opportunities present
themselves on all sides. I had an interest
ing chat with one of our best officers only
a few days ago, and he gave me enough
information about the fraternity of pick
pockets to fill a book. You see, he is de
tailed to stroll up and down Broadway
during the busy hours of the morning and
afternoon for no other purpose than to
keep an eye upon these individuals. He
takes in Fourteenth street from Broad
way to Sixth avenue, and nearly every
day he scoops In two or three
young gentlemen who like to abstract
watches, money or any thing of value
from the persons ol others. All this time
the New Yorkers who left the city during
the summer months have nearly all re
turned. The dry goods stores and fancy
goods emporiums have their fall stock in.
The windows are filled with attractive ar
ticles, and crowds of shoppers stop to ad
mire or criticise what they see. Many
ladies are careful enough to carry their
purses in the bosom of their dress, but the
majority have it held in their hand or
dangling from their wrist by a silk cord or
piece of ribbon. Not a few have their
watch-pockets made on the outside of their
walking-jackets. While the ladies are
crowding in front of the windows it is a
simple and easy thing for the pick
pocket who knows his business and can
‘size up’ his victim to push and
crowd in too as if he was fairly crazy to see
some particular object displayed. But all
the whi'e he is watching for an opportu
nity to work his fingers into tome one's
pocket or snap a watch chain and quietly
slip through the crowd aud away before
the person who has been relieved is aware
of the loss. It is a singular thing, too,
that but few visitors to the city are preyed
upon by this class of criminals. The
bunko-steercr attends to them, but the
New Yorkers, who think that they can
take care of wiiatever they have about
them, are invariably the victims. The
country people, and even residents of
Jersey City, Staten Island and Brooklyn
are ext a vigilant when they stop in New
York. They seldom lose anything.
“The professional pickpocket is gener
ally between 17 and 23 years of age. He
always looks shabby, and a hang-dog ex
pression ornaments his countenance. His
clothing is bought second-hand or else |
stolen from somebody. All these stories j
about well-dressed gentlemanly-looking I
pickpockets arc nonsense. You" may oc- j
casionally come across an isolated case, j
but the pickpocket is generally a dirty,
shiftless fell >w, whose capital is his cun
ning, coupled with the dexterity with
which he can slip his fingers in |
some one else’s pockets and abstract ;
therefrom a watch orpocket book without j
attracting the attention of the rightful I
owner. They travel in gangs of three or !
four, and sometimes six or seven work to- i
gether. When any one of the gang swipes
a time-piece or piece of jewelry it is taken j
to the first place where they know ques- ;
tions are not asked and disposed of for '■
several times less its value. Then there is j
a division of the spoils, and fresh on- |
slaughts arc made. Those criminals gen- j
erally wind up with a short turn before i
they have been many years in the business. I
They live in the slums of the city, have no j
ambition except to collar something, and j
they seldom reform.”

Tiunipad, October ID. due Island of !
Trinidad lies in latitude 10’ north, and is ■
separated from tho mainland on the north- j
era border of South America by the Gulf I
of Faria. It has an area of 2100 square |
miles; is ninety mites long and fifty miles I
broad, and has a population of 60.000. Tbe i
northern front, as Been from the ocean, re- I
solubles an immense ridge of rock, but as
viewed from the Gulf of Faria, it presents j
a most mngnitieciit panorama. From
every elevation the scenery is trauacon-
clailfc, and the whole island, m climate, cn- ;
joys a perpetual spring. Tiiu Gull' of ■
Faria from either shore forms i
one vast harbor. It is thirty
leagues long and fifteen leagues !
from north to south Ships may anchor
safely in from three to six fathoms of I
water, over gravel or sand soundings. It |
is entered on the north by tho Dragon’s
Mouth, and on the south by the Serpent’s
Mouth, two straits formed by projections]
from the island and main land. Numerous
streams from both shores enter the gulf,
and several small islands are embosomed i
in ilH waters.
Trinidad is evidently h section from the j
adjacent continent, severed either by vol- i
eanie or oceanic eruption. The volcanic i
origin of this island is indicated by several !
craters, and south of Cape de la Brea is a 1
submarine volcano, which occasionally I
boils up and discharges a quantity of pe
troleum. There is alho a similar one about i
the eastern part of the island in the bay of |
Mayoro, which in March and June gives '
several detonations resembling thunder—
these are succeeded by flames and smoke,
and some niimltes after pieces of biuraen,
as black and brilliant as jet, are thrown on
shore.
There is found in Trinidad a very bril
liant white metal,more ductile and "'allea-
ble than silver, and by some supposed
to be a new metal. The most remarka- i
hie mineral phenomenon, however, i
is the “Asphalaltuni or Pitch lake,” which
is situated on a headland jutting from the j
northeast corner of the island. It is ele- j
vated 80 feet above the ocean. Seen from '
the sea this headland resembles a dark,
scoriaceous mass, and on a nearer view it
is found to consist ot bituminous scoriae,
vitrified sand and earth all cemented to
gether. A strong sulphurous smell oer-
vades the neighborhood for ten or twelve
miles around. Deep crevices or funnels,
sometimes six feet deep, are found in vari
ous parts of the Asphaltum, filled with ex-
cellentwator, often containing mullet arid
other small fish. Alligators are said to
have been seen in these extraordinary
caverns. Several of these communi
cate with the sea, and experience
the agitation of stones that rutile the adja
cent waters, often rising and falling during
a storm six or eight feet, and scattering on
the' island large masses of asphaltum.
Pieces of what was once wood, are found
completely changed into bitumen, and the
trunk of a large tree, on being sawn, was
entirely impregnated with pitch. When
mixed with earth this substance acts as a
fertilizer, and the finest fruits on tho
island come from the districts bor
dering on this singular lake.
When Trinidad was first discovered, it
was inhabited by a dense population of
Caribs. These unhappy people were eith
er murdered or transported to the His
paniola mines. The present Indian popu
lation is less than a thousand. The inhab
itants of European descent number be
tween live and ten thousand, and the negro
and mixed races about 60,000. • Among
them also are some Chinese and Coolies
imported Irom the East India Islands.
Port of Spain, the capital, embosomed ill j
an amphitheatre of hills, lies on the Gulf ]
of Puna, and is one of the finest towns in !
the West Indies. The buildings are of i
massive stone and the streets are long and '
wide, shaded with trees und laid out in
parallel lines from the sea, so as to catch
every breeze thut blows. The churches
and government buildings are fine and
imposing edifices. The harbor is available
for the largest ships.
The total annual foreign trade of Trini
dad is estimated at $21,800,000. The im
ports entered for consumption amount to
about $7,000,000, of which the United
States furnish about one and a half mil
lions. The chief exports are to Great
Britain. Exports to the United States
amount to about one and a quarter mil
lions.
The exports of Trinidad and the princi
pal countries to which they go are as fol
lows : Sugar, over $1,000,000, to Great Bri
tain and the United States; cocoa, over
$2,400,000, to Great Britain, France aud the
United States; molasses, asphaltum and
cocoanuts, to Great Britain, United States
and France. The total annual imports of
all the British West Indies may be roundly
stated at $32,000,000, of which $12,000,000 Is
from Great Britain, and $10,000,000 is from
the United States. Their total annual ex
ports amount to $33,000,000, of which $20,-
000,000 goes to Great Britain and $8,000,000
to the United States.
The group of West India Islands stretch
in the form of an arch between the two
American continents, and consist of four
large and a number of small islands, be
sides numerous rocky islets called cayos or
keys. They arc divided into three groups
called the greater and lesser Antilles and
Bahamas. What is known as the Gulf
Stream sets through this group of islands.
It passes from the Gulf of Mexico like a
swift and immensely broad river. After
pissing out beyond this chain of islands it
diverges from the American continent, in- j
creasing in breadth and decreasing in ve
locity.
With the exception of St. Domingo, all
the West India islands are colonial depen-
cics of European powers. Two of these, |
Cuba and Porto Rico belong to Spain; thir
teen belong to Great Britain; two belong i
to France, one is Dutch, another Danish '
and another Swedish. The rich and varied i
productions of these islands, gives them j
an important position in a commercial j
point of view. To t heir valuable native i
plants, art and industry have I
added others not less valuable. I
Tbe British West Indies are the most
highly cultivated and productive of all the
British colonies. An importatn event in !
tbe history of these islands took place in !
1833, when the British parliament passed j
the law for the abolition of slavery. The
sum of $93,000,000 wus granted by England
to indemnify the slave owners. The origi- !
nal inhabitants of these islands have tong 1
been extinct except asmall remnant in the j
islands of Ht. Vincent and Trinidad. 1
hope the time is not far dislant when Co-]
Iambus, Ga., will have direct, regular and 1
frequent connection by rail and ocean j
steamer and establi . .jd channels of trade
with these gems of the sea. -

of severe colds which threatened pulmo
nary trouble. They also cured my son of
rheumatism in the shoulder, from which
he had suffered two years.
James W. Husted.
California’s latest se .sation, a boy of
12, who has “an eye that seta tire to every
object he looks upon,” is a very dangerous
product. It is not surprising to learn that
this ineendiury optic caused his expulsion
from a Stockton school, but it is queer in
this age to find magic rather than mischief
the accepted explanation of the tricks of
a had youngster. Mysterious fires have
sometimes puzzled eastern cities, blit have
finally been traced to a boy’s hands rather
than to his visional organs. Tno poet
speaks metaphorically of “fire in each
eye.” but Master Willie Brough’s exploits
will land him sooner in jail than in a dime
museum,
Some people suffer from sick headache
all their lives, dragging out a miserable
existance. If they would onlv try one
dose of SMITH’S BILE BEANS (one
Bean) they would never say that nothing
would afford them relief. This wonderful
remedy is pleasant harmless und always
effective. The price, 25 cents per bottle,
makes it very popular. For sale by all
druggists and dealers in medicines, or sent

The Soulful Creature*.
Merchant. Traveler.
Two of them meet on the street.
“Oh, Nellie; I’m so glad to see you!
What have yon been doing all the week?”
“I’ve been reading just the loveliest nov
el. It’s too sweet for anything.”
“Oh, do tell me about it.”
“Why, there is a young girl, and a vil
lain, who is just perfectly lovely, and the
young girl is one of those creatures who is
just too angelic for anything, and she
says ‘Avaunt, villain, avaunt, tempt me
not,’ to the villain. But the villain, he
does, just the same. And that’s aa far as
I’ve got.”
“It must be just lovely.”
“Oh, it is. Well, good-by, I must go and
finish that book. I’m lust on needles to
see how it comes out. You must come and
see me.”
“I will, for I’m awfully anxious to hear
the Ztest of it, too. Good-by.”
“Good-by. Come soon.”
“I will. Good-by.”
“Good-by.”
The discovery and introduction of Moxie
Nerve Food has proved a blessing to thou
sands of people suffering from nervous
affections. They have found immediate
relief, and recommend it to their friends
as the most reliable preparation for the
cure of nervousness, sleeplessness, and that
tired, worn out feeling. Try Moxie ; it’s
only 50 cents a bottle.

Six Hundred Skeletons in tin* Roof. j
Since tho anAexation of Nice to Franco, ,
in 1870. the former Dominican church has
been used as a military bakery. A few j
days ago it btcame necessary to examine
the roof, and t he architect was horrid off to
find in tlie garret about600 skeletons rlung
pele-mele. Medical experts deolare that
they must have been buried at least three ,
or four centuries ago. It appears that |
when Nioe was occupied by the French :
troops in 1702 the monks were expelled
from the building, and the church of St.
Dominick was converted into a national j
bakery; and it is supposed that in carrying |
out the transformation the graves in the ;
