Professor Sid* wick and hie gifted wife, the sister ot l*rd Balfour. Frederiek W. F. Myers, tba fomented Edmund. Gurney, Professor Browning, Mr. Hofcgson and many others were among tbo acquisitions she mads, and the few days she remained ia Cambridge she was tbs center of attraction for its most intellectual university circle. Apparently she was establishing her claim to the possession of universal psychic powers, whsu she turned to esc as she was laaviag tbc parlor after the departure of several visitors, and mid “Hodgaon will be the man the S. P. R. will select to go to India.” Tbo remark mads little impression at the time as her previous remark had done, for I did not know what she m-aat. It atruck me as ratner singular that she should at«oe>ate Mr. Hodgson with anything disagreeable, for be seemed sincerely interested in her and friendly to her, that be would bare been one of tbe lest of the strangers about her to make war against bar. Nothing could be gained by asking bor for an explanation, for in tbo time that] knew her I never beard her fully mtisty the curiosity of any one. When, months later, tbe Society for Psychic Research selected Mr. Hodgson to go to Indie to fovestigeto tbo claims of the Tbeoeophieal Society regarding the existence of tbe Mahatmas and tbe psychie powers of Madam Blevatsky, them strange reriarke and others made at Cambridge by her regarding Mr. Hodgson’s selection for tbo part be afterward played, recurred to me. I never saw bim altsr tl * , norheaid from her. I loft England, but wuen Mr. liodgson's report was given to the world I could not but regret that he had not known that she predicted that be would be selected to do wbat he did and that ha would do it ia tbe way be did. it might have added additional internet to tbs pamphlet. Madam Blava'sky has a habit of making pradietions, of the most startling character sometime*, and usoally in such an ironical manner that it was slmoat impossible t<> decide whether she meant wbat she said or was merely trying to draw people out She possessed some faculty by which she speedily read those abeut her and ^wbilo exhibiting no interest whatever in them wonid be perpetually railing against tbe foolish records they were making and which they would have to snffer for in some coming incarnation. When questioned as to her course toward people concerning wham she would make surprising statements, she would answer: "They are simply tulfiliing the decrees of Karma, aad they will not do more in thin life than to go on blindly, nsing no effort to lie what they might." When asked why she did not stay any injury that might be done by hsr enemies she would aorrowfully say: "What has n poor Budhlat pilgrim, without hems or friends, to lose or gain in this worldf” She was ns impulsive as a child, as generous ns an Eastern Pasha, and tbe most indifferent to physical comfort of any human being. She was a most gifted woman in every respect, a musician ot rare cnltivation, and hsr tonch on the piano was woodroutly sweet. She,-in common with her countrymen generally, was a great linguist, and conversed equally well in aevan or eight different languages. She lias traveled the world over, and her mind is cyclopedic. There is no subject on which she is not conversant, and if a stranger is willing to ignore her utterly unconventional ways, an interview with her is always tastrueiive. Tbe time is approaching for another event predieted by her, nnd in tbe presence of Colonel Oleott in Loudon is the first of several oirenmstances that would combine to bring aboift tbe change announced. Meantime Madame Biavauky bus finished "The Secret Doctriee," upon which she has been busily writing for some time, and it ia a production which abe declared would be forthcoming at a given time. To say that spy one believed she wonid ever write it is to put univer«al disbelief in a mild form. She is so unreliable with her pen work that no one deemed it likely she would supplement "isis," and now that is finished and Colonel Oleott is In l*ondon with his face turned this way, it looks much ns it tbe “Old Lady’s’’ words, spoken foor years ago, wonid com# true in good season. If Mb* herself should come to Ameriea it would not ■prise those who have seen bar do and any things so out of the common order that to repeat them would imperil ono’a reputation for unity. Latra C.

Mr. Edgar Saitns, tha pessimistic novelist, will centribnte to Lippinooti’s tor November an article under this caption. He says among other thinge that: Tbe pleasure which comes of a novel should be physical. It should put tba reader in a stale of tension sufficient to cause an evocation ot fancies wbieh without that influence would decline to appear. The antbor who affecU his reader as an easy chair does may be oomforting as easy chairs are, hot there comes an hour when be is relegated to the garret. The first duty of a novelist is to irritate the reader. The second duty is to be able to bone the dictionary as readily as a chat bones a bird. Tbs third duty is to have emotions, and to bo so prompt iu detaining them that tbe render (hares their effect. But, paramount of all, he shonid let no work go from him that dose not instil some lesson and make men, and women too, the better and wiser for his prose. If hs fail ia say one of these duties, then the exact representation of tbe fugitive impression is not his to convey. Already the day of lullabies it gone; gone are the pastorals of our youth; gons, too, are tba barpisu we were wont to hear. Tbo skies are less neighborly than in day* of old, the earth is larger and literature of quicker breath. Of the charmers of earlier years, some have not left tbeir Dames, some have faded Into myth, while others have passed even from mythology itself. To be authoriuive to-day the novelist must learn to forget. In his grasp are hewer tools and methods ot such cunning that with them he can paint tbe impalpable and chisel a dream. On the aabjeot of morality ho should still be cautious. Yet, does be possess those finer fibers of wbieh refinement is tbe woof, he needs no rememoration to divine that tba secret of morality in fietion consists less in situations suggested than in the sentiments which those situations arous* Literary Notes.

The other day, however, he saw a man busily engaged catting tbe yellowing stalk* and piling them up, mnch as if be intended to taka them off to a "rotting vat,” nod get them ready for th j “brake” and "hackle,” after the regular busineas fashion oftha McCarty Works near fifty years ago when hemp growing was a very oousiderable industry.

Cigars, called “melees,” — pronounced “meelse” — were made in considerable quantities, nnd were the eigars ehiefly used a half century ago. Spanish cigars were better aud cheaper then than any we get now, except the coatliest, but they were smoked oply by what the backwoodstnaa called “big-bugs” or "quality.’* Tbe "melae” was made of tha best grade of our home-grown tobacco, soaked for a day or two in water till the rankness of iu strength was gone. Their flavor was not much better than that of th* proverbial substitute, cabbage or sunflower loaf, bat tbore was enough tobacco left in them to give them the narcotic affect that was desired. They and the chewing tobacco were sent out in peddling wagons *11 over the State. Mr. Hairoaman told tbe reporter that he had sometimes as many as a dozen wagons on the road at tha same time, bnt ehiefly north of tbe town, where be sold more than be did further south, where Kentucky tobacco waa easier of access and better, both io quality of stock and methods ot manufacture. In 1838, fifty year* ago this past September, tbe to .occo factory took fire by some careless work about tbe “iweathouse” and was almost wholly destroyed. Tbe loss was total, for there was little insurance dane in those days, and Mr. Hannaman tstimittod It at 910,000, the most destructive tire that had Ihsn ever occurred in the town, and was canalled by nothin* later till the fire of 1852 on Washington atreet. The factory waa rebuilt and tha work continued after a transfer to John Cain nnd later to R. L. Walpole as agent till about

1845.

"How did you suffer?” asked the writer. “I don’t know as I con describe my symptoms to you accurately. However, I will try,” answered Mr. Kiemau. "I felt lavensh all over. My akin was dry and harsh. My tongue was coated and seemed parched. I would drink water nearly all tbe time and not feel satisfied.
