Tns special correspondent oi the Lon- don Daily New. who accompanied Admiral Hewitt on his mission toAbyssinia, writing from Adowa. gives an interesting account of the experiences of the mission so far. He says : " The other day we witnessed a Wedding. and we had followed the wedding patty some distance. having resolved to resent the husband with a present of oilars. He received them with much pleasure. but when thanking us s mounted soldier rode up. snatched them from his hand. and threw them at the head of our interpreter. This was one of the many insults we had receiVed from the troops of the Governor. Since the day of our arrival he and his oflicials haxe been most dis- courteom. lie pointedly delayed calling on the Admiral. and when he condescended to do so was so drunk and stupid that he had to be supported by his interpreter on his road home. He forbade the people in the district and towns to bring us supplies. Arrxxriox is given to the singular theory in London that “ mind reading." as of late exhibited, is based on the muscular action of the hand. At a recent sitting of savante and amateurs an expert demonstrated. in a manner wholly satisfactory to the specta- tors. his interesting profloienoy in muscle reading. Thou h he admitted that he could not sucoee against determined op- position. and declared it impossible to read abstract thoughts. the success attending his direct efl'orts was surprising. He says that the delicate muscles of the hand respond to the processes of thought. that mental action has its correspondence in muscular movement. and that where the mind is directed to the contemplation of a particular objector material tact. there is produced a disturbance of minute muscular forces which an adept can detect. and from which he may receive a guiding impulse in his own mind, though its influence is un- conscious. A xsw novel of Boston make has a heroine who loses her beauty by disease and spends years afterward in regretting and idealizing the woman she was. She Inspires a young relative with this same regard for her former self. and between them they form the hypothesis that there is a separate immortality for such stages of individual existence as she passed through before she became plain and old. They then seek to communicate with the lost one through a trance medium.‘.who " material- izes " the lost beauty before their eyes ; then the medium dies in the process. and the materialized woman is taken home by the heroine. who treats her as a sister. and is engaged to marry the young man who has invented this singular theory of separ- ate immortality.

Nearly all the romances of real life that now get into the papers, it will be noticed. have marital infelicity for their motive. None that have lately been published can compare with that of the German woman, Mrs. Mary Cheronney. who has just com- menceda suit for divorce against her hus- band. Her narrative exceeds in its pathos anything that the romancer ordinarily tells, and her story exceeds a thousand others of real life only in the incredible cruelty of her own oflspring. So long as Mr. and Mrs. Cheronney were poor she says they lived happily. They raised eight children. Then the husband got rich and formed an attachment for another woman, and abandoned his wife. It was in vain that the mother of his offspring appealed tohim. He bought a brown-stone house for his mistress. and he abducted several of his children who were With the mother. But the crowning iniquity is to betold. Ason of this man came to his lonely. distressed mother one day and told her that his father was arranging to get a divorce from her in a Western State. audit would be necessary for her to go out and revent it. He offered to go with her. hen this son, after beguiling an ignorant and trusting woman through several States. keeping her drugged and deceived. aban- doned her sick and penniless in Sacra- mento. and came back to New York triumphanttoreport to the father. But the romance of fate is quite as strange as that of fiction. The woman begged her toilsoms way back across the continent. and when least expected turned up in New York to confront her husband and bring an action for divorce. Such at least is her tale now circumstantially told. and it is sufficiently interesting in its unvarnished details to arrest the attention of the playwright and the novelist.â€"N. Y. World.

Yet he uses steam ploughs and traction engines imported from England.in addition to the best harvesting machines and other agricultural implements from the United States.

"That personal has been inserted in papers all over the country at intervals lor the last 20 years. and not until last May did I receive an answer to it. When the war broke out I was a young man living on a farm down in York State. My wife was a school teacher in the neigh- hood. and we became engaged after a low months' courtship. but the little women wouldn't hear of an early marriage. plead- ing for a ear in which to makelher prepara- tions. u this she was sustained by her‘ parents. with whom she was living. Wew both had reason to regret this postpone- ment, as you will see. We continued the even tenor of our way until the war broke out. when I organized a volunteer com- pany. the little woman refusing to marry me if I did not enter the coun- try‘s service. Our separation was not painful. as neither of us anticipated the troubled times that were to follow. At Bull Run I was. shot and left for dead on the battlefield. but afterward recovered and was captured by rebels and sent to Ander- sonville. For eighteen months I lived in that wretched place. suffering untold mental torture. Early in 1863 1 was ex- changed. and, being unfit for further service. was sent home. Oi: my arrival, I discovered that I had beet mourned as dead since that fatal day at Bull Run, and Carrieâ€"my wifeâ€"had gone With her parents. no one knew where. I traced them as far as Chicago. where the clue was lost I had several thousand dollars. every cent of which was paid to detectives. whose efforts were unavailing. My desire to find the object of my search did not decrease as the years want by, for my mother told me that Carrie had taken a solemn vow never to marry. and I felt within me that she had kept her vow. it alive. That advertisement was my only resource. and in many of the western papers it was never out of print. Thus for 20 long years I had kept up my search. never disheartened. and confident that my labors would some day be re- warded. And sure enough. on the 16th of last May. I received a letter from San Miguel. Oal.. which told me that the object of my heart's desire was still alive. and cherished for me the same old-time senti- ments.

Something New and Strange. Attention has lately been drawn in one of our medical contemporaries to a disease met with in Siberia. known to Russians by the name of Miryschit. The person affected seems compelled to imitate any. thing he hears or sees, and an interesting account is given of a steward. who was reduced to a perfect state of misery by his inability to avoid imitating everything he heard and saw. One day the captain of the steamer, running ug to him. suddenly clapping his hands at t a same time, acci- dentally slipped. and tell hard on the deck. Without havmg been touched. the steward instantly clapped his hands and shouted; then in helpless imitation. he. too. tell as hard and almost precisely in the same manner and position as the captain. This disease has been met With in Java. where it is known as " Late." In the case of a female servant who had the same irresist. ible tendency to imitate, one day at dessert. her mistress, wishing to exhibit this peculiarity, and catching the woman's eye. suddenly reached across the table. and, seizing a large French plum. made pretence to swallow it whole. The woman rushed at the dish and put a plum in her mouth. and.aiter severe choking and semi-asphyxia, succeeded in swallowingit, buther mistress never tried the experiment again-«Londun Medical Iii-cord. The paper of Dr. S. E. Post. published in the Medical Record, gives valuable par- ticulars respecting the efi'ect of exercise upon the health of women. as exemplified by female circus riders and gymnasts. ~The weights and circumference of t e chest after inspiration of three barebac riders were asrollows: No. 1, 120 pounds, 34.} inches; No. 2, 120 pounds. 32} inches; No. 3. 124 pounds. 36.} inches. The chest measurements were taken by tape drawn tightly over the skin. In No. 3 the chest dilated fully three inches in theinspiration. No.4 is an aerial gymnast, weighs 128 pounds, measures 36 inches round the chess after expiration.and 38 inches after in- spiration.and looks younger than she is. No. 5 is a trapeze performer who weighs but 95 pounds. All these women have ex- cellent general health. and all state that notwithstanding the arduous nature of their work they nevu' knew of a woman breaking down in the business. except from surgical injury. such as a broken bone. No. 2. who rides standing, has. it will be noted. a moon smaller development of thorax than the other two riders, who spring on and off the horse while in motion. Thirty-four, thirty-six and thirty-eight inches are extraordinary chest measure- ments for women under 130 pounds in weight. The health 0! No. 1. who oom- menced at 16 years. is in some respects in ferior to that 0! Nos. 2. 3 and 4. The process is so exceedingly simple that any be c! lourteen can do all the work just as we] as an expert photo-lithographer could do it. Mr. Ramsdell has tiled an application for letters patent. and has organizeda com any of wealthy ptlanta capitalists to us the introduction 0! the invention. veral pictures that were made by what is known as the “ artotype roeess " were subsequently reproduced by . Ramsdell with such success that a competent judge could not tell the original from the copy. As the original is not in any way injured by Mr. Ramsdell's method. it will be possible by this process to accurately reproduce any of the are engravings and etchings that are now- a~daysso highly prized by collectors. and people of moderate means as well as the wealthy will be able to purchase Hay~ den’s and Whistlers without parting with their "bottom dollar." Another great‘ad- vantage claimed by the inventor is that he can make zinc and other metal plates of various kinds and be ready to print from them as quickly as from the stone. This will be much cheaper than to use litho- graphing stone, which is expensive. After the zihc and metal plates have been used they can be cleansed in a chemical bath andbe used again any number of times. Fac-similes of an entire newspaper can be made in ten minutes. while the most deli- cate work. as well as the coarsest, will be reproduced with equal fidelity. The Art of P-ctmldthograp-y Dealt-M to be Brvolutloniud. [Atlanta ills.) Telegram l Adiecovery that is destined to revolu- tionize the present method of photo- lithography has been made by Mr. lldc ltamsdell, of this city. “The new inven- tion." said Mr. Clark Howell, scientific editor of the Couafilufion, will introduce into the art of printing pcssibilies never yet dreamed of.” The discovery is the result of several mouths’ of patient study and experimenting; it is wonderfully simple, and the results attained are positively marvellous. In the presence of a small company of journalists. especially invrted to test the invention. Mr. Itsmsdell exhibited the entire process which he has perfected. A tine steel engraving. the frontispiece in one of the leading magazines. was selected as the picture to be reproduced. The effects of light and shade were especially delicate, and it was thought the new process might fail to bring these out in their original per- fection. The experts looked at their watchesâ€"it lacked three minutes of 1 o‘clock. Mr. Ramsdell slipped cfi his coat. rolled up his sleeves. and at the given signal the engraving was torn quickly and dexteronsly from the book and plunged into a big “ bath." the ingredi- ents of which at present remain a pro- found secret. In nine seconds it was re- moved, placed in a large piece of glass. and a printer‘s gelatine roller. covered with or- dinary printer’s ink. was passed over it a few times. The paper was then lifted from the smooth glass surface and placed upon she lithographing stone and the "imprec- sion " was made. The acids were applied. the stone was completed in a few seconds. and after a moment’s adjustment of the machinery the press began throwing oi! the fac similes. The experts looked at their watches againâ€"it was one minute after 1. The entire process had been success- fugy accomplished in just four minutes._ A WGNDBBI‘I'L DIHI‘QDVEIII . Bxercl-e IOI' “'omen.
