Certain mean-spirited ghosts in Illinois
have divulged supernatural scandal concern
ing the behavior of a married man of that ilk,
of snch a nature that his wife has lelt it her
duty to sue for a divorce, and although in
Illinois the granting of her application is a
matter of course, yet since the charge rests
altogether on the evidence of the spirits afore
said, and they can’t be subpoenaed to testify
in open court, the lawyers and judges are
somewhat puzzled how to arrange the purely
technical formalities of the record.
The husband ot an Englishwoman,* bank

$375 and some furniture. She was imme
diately calmed and consoled, and was,indeed,
prepared to enter the married state for the
second time, when Micawber himself turned
up, and the pleasant gift of property had to
be restored to the creditors by order of the
Court. 'Twas abominably aggravating and
in very bad taste. Enoch Arden wouldn’t

DR. J. 3. LAWTON
Max Adler on Duels.
We never fought more than one duel. It
was with a man named Blood, who was de
termined to make us fight whether we wanted
to or not. When we got on the ground, our
second said to us: “Do you want to kill your
man?” “Of course not,” we replied. “Be
cause if you do,” urged our second, “aim at
that tree, three hundred yards to the right of
Blood. I have seen you shoot. I know your
style.” “But we don’t want to kill him,”
we said. “Oh, all right, then,” exclaimed
the second, “all right; then aim directly at
his heart. You are deadly with a pistol when
yon want to be. I and Blood’s second are go
ing down to the bottom of the hill to be out
of the way. Both of you fellers scatter too
much for us. Call us when you are through.”
Then Blood and his enemy began. It was
seven in the morning, and the battle raged
until noon. Seven hundred and thirty-four
shots were fired, and the bullets hit all the
barns in the neighborhood, killed stray pigs,
perforated several cows in the surrounding
fields, lamed a plowman in the left leg,
barked the trees in the woods to the right of
us, brought down a mule on the towpath
close by, riddled the fences until there was
hardly a whole board left in them, and flat
tened themselves against the rocks, bat
neither Blood nor we had a scratch, except
ing a slight wound which Blood got by shoot
ing himself in the calf with his two hundred
and forty-fourth bullet.
Then we began to get hungry, and we asked
Blood if he didn’t consider his duel almoet
too monotonous. He said he did, and pro
posed that we should stop shooting and both
go and jump off of a precipice together. We
urged that precipices always made us dizzy,
but promised to see him buried comfortably
if he wanted to take the exercise alone. Then
the seconds came up, and didn’t seem a bit
surprised to see us unhurt. Then they pro
posed that we should settle the matter with a
game of poker, to ascertain whether we were
wrong or Blood. Blood held four Jacks and
won. So we apologized and went home.
The next day Blood called to say that he was
sorry about the affair, and to ask us to lend
him soventy-five dollars, which we did, and
we have never seen him since. And now we
regret that we didn't aim at that tree three
hundred yards to the right of Blood and kill
him.

A Nut for Scientific Men.
EXTRAOBDINAKY PSYCHOLOGICAL FEAT.
Chicago has got a nut for scientists to crack,
and that there is a prospect that they will en
counter not a little diflicnity in doing it. A
young gentleman named Brown has been be-
lore several learned bodies in that city, and
has edified and puzzled them ail by some
psychological exploits which tha doctors are
all unable to account fori One of his extra
ordinary feats was recently performed in the
Chicago Tnbnne office in the presence of the
editors, who desired to test his powers. One
of the editors retired to an adjoining room
and put a small coin between the
leaves of a volume of Polands Credit
Mobilier Eeport, which he then oov-
ereh up with several other volumes. Ile-
tarning to the yonng man the experimenter
placed his band on his head, keeping
his mind on the coin. Brown who had
been ail the while closely blindfolded, at once
arose, walked against the door leading to the
library, opened it, pat his hand on the volume
containing the coin and aaid; “ Here it i*. I
do not know what it is, bat it is in this book.”
Several other experiments of a similar kind
were tried, the result being entirely success
ful so far as Brown was concerned in each in-
Htance. He is not a spiritual medium, and
claims no supernatural powers, but ascribes
his powers to animal magnetism. A number
of scientists hove taken him in hand, aud
now tbs Chicago doctors have decided to
give him a round and report results.
