JESSIE OF LUCKNOW. A FAMOUS CASE OF CLAIRVOYANCE GRAPHICALLY RELATED. Wh«n the Besieged Had Lost AH Hope, the Scotchwoman Heard the Slogan Wbleh Announced That the High landers Were Coming to the Beeene. In conversation between a distinguish ed jndge of this state and an editor the article of Mark Twain’s on telepathy cas ually cauie into talk. Many cases were cited, and the judge alluded to the re markable story of Jessie Brown. It will be new to many, and it is given here with as it appeared in a letter to the London Times, the letter being written by a lady who was the wife of an officer at Lucknow: “On every side death stared ns in the face. No human skill could avert it any longer. We saw the moment approach when we must bid farewell to earth, yet without feeling that unutterable horror which must have been experienced by the unhappy victims at Cawnpnr. We were resolved rather to die than to yield and were fully persuaded that in 24 hours all would be over. The engineer had said so, and all knew the worst. We women strove to enconrage each other and to perform the light duties which were assigned to ns, such as conveying orders to the batteries, supplying the men with provisions, especially caps of coffee, which we prepared day and night. “I had gone out to try to^make myself useful in company with Jessie Brown, the wife of a corporal in my husband’s regiment. Poor Jessie had been in a state of restless excitement all through the siege and had fallen away visibly during the last few days. A constant fever consumed her, and her mind wan aerea occasionally, especially that day, when the recollections of home seemed powerfully present to her. At last, over come with fatigue, she lay down on the ground, wrapped in her plaid. I sat be side her, promising to awake her when, as she said, her ‘father should return from the plowing.’ “She fell at length into a profound slumber, motionless and apparently breathless, her head resting in my lap. “I myself could no longer resist the in clination to sleep, in spite of the con tinual roar of the cannon. Suddenly I was aroused by a wild, unearthly scream close to my ear. My companion stood upright beside me, her arms raised and her head bent forward in the attitude of listening. “A look of intense delight broke over her countenance. She grasped my hand, drew me toward her and exclaimed: ‘Dinna ye hear it? Dinna ye hear it? Aye, I’m no dreamingl It’s the slogan o’ the highlanders! We’re saved! We’re saved!’ Then flinging herself on her knees she thanked God with passionate fervor. I felt utterly bewildered. “My English ears heard only the roar of artillery, and I thought my poor Jes sie was still raving, but she darted to the batteries, and I heard her cry inces santly to the men: ‘Courage 1 Courage! Hark to the slogan—the Macgregor, the grandest of them all! Here’s help at last!’ “To describe the effect of these words upon the soldiers would be impossible. For a moment they ceased firing, and every soul listened with intense anxiety. Gradually, however, there arose a mur mur of bitter disappointment, and the wailing of women who had flocked to the spot burst out anew as the colonel shook his head. Our dull lowland ears heard only the roar of the musketry. “A few moments more of this death like suspense, of this agonizing hope, and Jessie, who had again sunk on the ground, sprang to her feet and cried in a voice so clear and piercing that it was heard along the whole line: ‘Will ye no believe it noo?. The slogan has ceased indeed, but the Campbells are coming. D’ye faeari’ uye near/ “At that moment all seemed, indeed, to hear the voice of God in the distance, when the pibroch of the highlanders brought us tidings of deliverance, for now there was no longer any doubt of the fact. That shrill, penetrating, cease less sound, which rose above all other sounds, could come neither from the ad vance of the enemy nor from the work of the sappers. No, it was indeed the blast of the Scottish bagpipes, now shrill and harsh, as threatening vengeance on the foe, then in softer tones seeming to prom ise succor to their friends in need. “Never, surely, was there such a scene as that which followed. Not a heart in the residency of Lucknow but bowed it self before God. All by one simultaneous impulse fell upon their knees, and noth ing was heard but bursting sobs and murmured voice of prayer. Then all arose, and there rang out from a thou sand lips a great shont of joy, which re sounded far and wide and lent new vigor to that blessed pibroch. “To onr cheer of ‘God Save the Queen’ they replied by the well known strain that moves every Scot to tears, 'Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot?’ After that nothing else made any impression on me. I scarcely remember what fol lowed. Jessie was presented to the gen eral on his entrance to the fort, and at the officers' banquet her health was drunk by all present, while the pipers marched around the table playing once more the familiar air of ‘Anld« Lang Syne.’” Whittier's poem, “The Pipes at Luck now,” and Robert T. S. Lowell's “The Relief of Lucknow” are descriptive of this same incident!—Baltimore Ameri can. _ Matrimonial Item. Chumly—-How the mischief did yon come to marry that old widow? Why didn't you marry the daughter? Benedict—I thought over,the matter carefully. If I had the daugh ter, I’d have had the^UBKher on my hands anyhow. Then SS'ifcve had both on my hinds, but as ilSflfcow that her mother is provided for, vraatlikely some body else will -marry the UJtgghter, and then I’ll'only b^yAjBne of^mm to pro vide for.—TaxaajKftinga. ^ A MONKEY ROARING DRUNK. Ha Had the Begalatlon Fan, Including Ar rest and a Swelled Head. Two policemen conducting a drunken monkey to jail was one of the unusual rights seen Sunday. The monkey is a member of Dod Backer’s circus, but has been occupying winter quarters as a ride attraction at Elston’s saloon on East Water street, and was left chained during the temporary absence of the proprietor. He managed, however, to free himself and walked over behind the bar. He glanced in the big looking glass back of the row of colored bot tles, and seeing another fellow of bis own size picked up a decanter and let it go with his right, and Mr. Elston's |200 glass was a wreck. His opponent having been got rid of, the monkey proceeded to te6t the various liquid re freshments on hand. He turned on the beer and took a long, deep draft. Then he sampled the whisky, gin, wine and various kinds of bitters. It wasn’t long until he was roaring drunk. Then 'he tackled the cigar case and demolished that, throwing the cigars about the room in handfuls. The monkey’s screams and the noise of shattered glass attracted a crowd about the front of the saloon, but the door was locked, and there was no way to get in. Finally two policemen came and boosted a bold young fellow through the transom. After a lively tussle he managed to get a rope around the drunk en monkey, and he was hoisted through the window and escorted by the two po licemen, one on each side, to jail, and lodged in a cell. The next morning the prisoner was very sick and held his head between his paws. Although it was his second ofiense, the recorder suspended sentence, and he waa led back to the saloon and chained ,.p. The next time he gets drunk the owner will send him to the Keeleycureat Binghamton.—El mira Despatch. THE REFORMER’S ROCKY ROAD. A Temperance Agitator In Austria Has to Fight the Liqnor Men and Governor. American temperance agitators would Dot enjoy themselves in Austria. A na tive of a small village after a long cat aleptic trance a year ago declared that he had been to heaven and had been commissioned by the Almighty to re turn and teach the peasants the wicked ness of drinking spirits. Soon the en tire village took an oath of total absti nence. The district governor commit ted the man to the madhouse, where the doctors kept him for six months and then declared him sane. He resumed his agitation, and in a short time seven villages had taken vows of abstinence. The result was that a number of liq uor dealers to whom the government had granted licenses refused to keep their contracts. The district judge gave orders that the dangerous agitator be arrested if caught preaching absti nence. The man has not left his house for weeks. Deputations come to him from far and wide to bear his words and to repeat them when they return home. The authorities are consoling the dealers by declaring that the peas ants must soon drink again.—Vienna Letter. Heirs Apparent and Matrimony. There are few ladies whom an heir apparent can marry. At present the heirs to the thrones of Austria, Bussia and Italy, not to speak of the heir to the throne of Belgium, the king of Ser via, and the crown prince of Montene gro, are all of a marriageable age, but have not yet made their choice. With out a change of creed on the part of a princess the choice of the Russian crown prince, outside the Romanoff family, is limited to Princess Marie oj. Greece and one of the daughters of the Prince of Montenegro. Similarly the young Ser vian King Alexander has only the Rus sian and Montenegrin princesses to choose from. Only 23 Roman Catholic princesses, born not later than 1877, are now open to engagements. Five of these belong to the royal and ducal houses of Bavaria, three to Belgium, three to the Spanish Bourbons, two to the Bourbons of the two Sicilies, four to the house of Parma, one to the house of Orleans and one to the line of Cba tres, making altog^her 11 belonging to the Bourbons.—San Francisco Argo naut. A Reminiscence of Napoleon. A series of unpublished letters of the first Napoleon appeared in Paris week before last. In one characteristic epis tle the autocrat tells the minister of po lice to arrest Mr. Kuhn, the American consul at Genoa, as a wearer of the cross of Malta given by an agent of the Brit ish government. The emperor adds: “This individual, having received a foreign decoration,is no longer an Amer ican. I am sorry, moreover, that you communicated with the United States embassy. My police must not recognize embassies. I am master chez moi, and when I suspect a man I cause him to be arrested. I would even canse the em bassador of Austria to be arrested if be plotted against the state.’’ The Overworked Lords. At yesterday’s meeting of the house of lords there were seven peers present, of whom one. Lord Kensington, occu pied the woolsack. In the upper house three peers make a quorum. The only business was the first reading of the lo cal government bill, a formality that occupied barely half a minute. Lord Ripon then briefly announced that the honse would meet again on Friday, and that ho would then be prepared to name a day forthe second reading.—St. James Gazette. Hake the Punishment Fit the Crime. A Swabian living at Rottweil, in Ger many, has just committed an offense against the law. The crime with which the man has been charged is conveyed in the title appearing in the German law books as “Hansirgewerbebetriebsaus dehsangsahgabegefsebrdang” (Article I af the Law .of May 23, 1890).—London News. CURIOUS CH;M£SE CUSTOMS. A Bride’* Salutation to Her Hubud Elect and Hi* Reafonae. A Chinese paper descri bes some am Ru ing marriage customs. In a small mountain village between Kaga and Etcha the bride comes to the bride groom’s gate and bawls out to him, “Hello, brother! I’ve come.” To which the other replies, “Glad You’ve come.” The bride then appeals to him, “You’ll never forsake me?” And the bridegroom answers her, “We’ll earn our living together.” With these assurances the bride comes into the bouse, followed by a long pro cession of well wishers, old and young. Cheap, muddy sake is distributed to them, and they commence dancing and are not content until the floor gives way, when they clap their hands, crying, “How auspicious!” and take their leave. At Kuiita, in Echizen, the betrothal takes place when the parties are 8 or 9. The boy’s parents and a deputation, numbering from five to fifteen, proceed to the girl’s family, who, anticipating their coming, spread mats before the houses and await them. After the nsnal salutation the deputation present as a betrothal present pieces of hand woven cloth for cushions and at the same time praises the girl’s family, who return the compliment with interest. Here the ceremony ends, and the deputation take their departure. When the boy is 15 or thereabouts, he goes to stay with his betrothed’s family and works like a menial at the honse for a year, after which he is sent home in fine apparel. Soon after the girl comes to her lover’s house, accom panied with rustic music and songs. The noise and hustle are as great as on the festival day of the tutelary god. When the girl comes to the house, cushions made of the cloth given by her parents are piled one npon another for her to sit npon. On these cushions the thrice repeated exchange of the triple wine cups, the most important cere mony at a wedding, takes place. Stringing Pictures. The one thing that is unforgivable in picture hanging is to string them along the walls in a line. Their loneliness is pitiable. Next to that crime is the one of arranging exactly symmetrical groups, suggestive of nothing so much as a lesson in geometry. Group pic tures, group them gracefully, but don't, when one has succeeded in making a graceful bunch on one side of the fire place, reproduce it exactly on the other 6ide. According to one who speaks with the emphasis of authority, delicately framed water colors are the only proper things for the drawing room, magnifi cent oils for the library and hall, and etchings and engravings for the dining room. Meantime those who do as they please will continue to hang their etch ings, water colors and oils exactly where they will gain most pleasure from them, taking care only not to place side by side ridiculously inharmonious things. The smaller the picture, or the more full of detail, the nearer the level of the eye it should hang. Sometimes two parallel wires are brought straight up to separate hooks on the picture mold ing, but generally the old fashioned an gle of wire is made. Gold and silver wires are generally used, but it is said that small steel and iron chains are to be used this winter for hanging dark framed engravings and etchings. Some of the daintier pictures, instead of be ing hung from the moldings, have wires stretched tightly across the back and are caught invisibly on small screws.— New York Journal. A Servant’s Instructions. The following rules of conduct for servants are said to tie fonnd in a Liv srpool household: Servants who have the good fortune to reside in my house must co-operate with the following rules: They must be up punctually at 6. Have all meals punctually to time. Must be clean and tidy in their per sons, and at their work must not he spoken to. Must not speak at the doors to any of the tradespeople. Mnst not sing. Most not wear heavy boots. Mnst close doors quietly. Must stand meekly wbile being re proved. Must not answer back. Must be obliging and cheerful. Must be willing to stay in any Sun Say or day out when required, and when aBked to do anything to do it quickly and well and show no impatience or ill temper, as Mr.-hates that. Must put up with fault finding and complaining whenever Mr.-wishes to fault find or complain. Mr. - likes to be called at 7. Takes tea at 20 past 7, towel at 20 to 8 and breakfast at 8 prompt, and will not wait a minnte, and no nonsense. By order, Mr. ——. —London Million. Fact and Fiction. Burglars recently broke into a jewel ry store in New York and stole among ether things a gold snuffbox that oDce oelonged to Queen Isabella of Spain. The newspapers seriously announced that the snuffbox was given to Queen Isabella by KiDg Ferdinand in 1462. The longer we live the more we unlearn. We imagined that tobacco had some :hing to do with snuff, and, as school ooys were taught, that tobacco was not mown in Europe till many years after Ferdinand presented this snuffbox to sis queen.—Jewelers’ Circular. A Pleasant Position. Gazzam—What made you lend Bilker i dollar? You’ll never get it back. Harduppe—No, but it puts me in a position I’ve been trying for years to iccupy. “What’s that?’' "I’m somebody's creditor now!’’— Boston Traveller. J ) DYNAMITE IN THE DI8H. The Tngie Dimer Prepared bp m Demerit ed KoMim Officer. A shocking tragedy of a most remark able character is reported from Vilna. Ivan Klakwitz, a cnstome officer of highly respectable connection, became convinced that his wife was in league with a neighbor to aid the latter in a lawsuit which was pending against him. There was apparently no justification for the charge. The lawsuit was tried in the local courts last week, and Klak witz lost the case. He addressed the judge in an excited manner, and after making a rambling statement implicat ing bis wife in an intrigue against him he left the courtroom. ■ Later in the day, however, he pro fessed regret to bis wife for his baseless insinuations and hasty temper, and asked his neighbor and his wife to dine with him en famille. Thinking it bet ter that a conciliation shonld take place, the neighbor accepted, and a social evening was arranged for. At dinner there were present Klakwitz, his wife, his two daughters, aged 19 and 17 years respectively; a young son, aged 11; bis wife’s mother and his neighbor and his wife. The dinner passed off very pleasantly until the third course, when Klakwitz rose, and ordering some more cham pagne to he opened said that he wished all present to drink a toast to a special dish he had prepared as a surprise for I this agreeable occasion. He then left the room, and within two minutes re turned bearing in hiB arms a large dish covered with a dinner cover, and plac ing it quickly on the table he lifted his glass on high and shouted, “To our next meeting.” He had scarcely spoken these words when a dynamite bomb, which had been hidden under the cover, exploded, and instantly killed every one In the room with the exception of the servant girl and the youngest daughter—the latter living, however, only long enough to tell exactly what happened. The serv ant died within two hours. The unfortunate people who were the victims of this insane frolic were sim ply blown to pieces, and the walla of the room in which they wero sitting were partly blown out. The explosion was heard for half a mile.—St. Peters burg Cor. London Telegraph. A WONDERFUL GERM DESTROYER. Recent Investigations Which Have Opened a New Field In Medicine. About 10 years ago a medical scien tist advanced the theory that, in its nor mal condition, blood contained an ele ment that instantly killed many forms of bacteria. In this healthy state blood has been injected into the veins of dis eased persons for this purpose and has begun the work of destruction. The re sults had not beer, satisfactory, as the amonnt of blood required was so great as to make continued experiments un wise. Recent investigations have confirmed the original idea, and a series of exper iments of late conducted at the Univer sity of Michigan reveal most interest ing possibilities. The destroying prin ciple has been separated from the blood, and with it germs of cholera and an thrax have been killed. This element, to which the name of neuclin has been given, is colorless and transparent. The vital essence of it seems tenacions of life, as high degrees of heat, even to the boiling point, do not seem to dimin ish its activity. If this discovery does all that it promises, it marks an incal culable advance in medical science. In jected into the veins of persons suffer ing from many forms of germ poison ing, it immediately begins its benefi cent task of ridding the system of the enemy. Thus a new field in medicine is opened, the ultimate results of which even the most comprehensive mind can scarcely estimate.—New York Ledger. The New Chicago Religion. We learn from Chicago that the new Chicago religion is nearly ready for the market. One of the doctors engaged in compounding it says it is made of the choice elements of Mosaism, Chris tianity, Buddhism, ethical culturism, Mohammedanism, Renanism, Confu cianism and other beliefs, both ancient and modern. Assurance of its solidity is given by its compounders, among whom are a Universalist, a Populite, two liberal rabbis, a Unitarian, a Hin doo and an agnostic. The extracts have been made with care, so that it shall be suitable to every mind in all parts of the world. It has not yet been mar keted, on account of the difficulty of getting a good name for it, a descrip tive name that shall convey some idea of its elementary principles, and that shall be attractive to mankind. Why not end the trouble and struggle at once and give the new religion a boom by calling it Chicagoism ?—New York Sun. Nut a Devoted Husband. Onr strangest mistakes are due to of ficial red tape. A story was told in a London district court last week of a man who was unable to support his in valid wife at homp. He secured for her admission to an infirmary seven years ago and paid 5 shillings weekly main tenance till a few weeks ago, when ho learned that the woman died a few days after entering the infirmary, and he had been a widower seven years. Instead of finishing his conjugal neg lect by losing seven years’ contribu tions, the magistrate ordered the au thorities to repay the fnll sum. Saved by an Ironing Board. Smoke from the hallway of 210 East Eighty-ninth street at 4 a. m. yester day woke Feligo Caruego, who lives with his family on the ground floor. The flames prevented egress by the door. Carnego rose to the occasion and passed his wife’s ironing board from the win dow across tho area to the iron railing. Over thiB improvised bridge his own and several other families reached the sidewalk in safety. Others escaped by the roof.—New York World. OR. HATHAWAY & GO., .^SPECIALISTS^.
