Wondrous Mechanism.

At a late fair in Brittany; France, a monk from the Friestine monastery exhibited a plain-looking table on its surface. The inventor, or any--Qne-SQ dUsposed, sets the pieoes for a game and then sits along at one side of the table. However cautiously he plays he is frequently checkmated by the pieces from the opposite side, which move automatically across the board. No matter how scientifically the player plays, the ghost-moved pieces frequently come out ahead. No mechanism is apparent; to all intent the table is solid board. Miss Fannie Dignam, 141 Mott street, New York titty, makes a miraculous cure of her rheumatism. She writes: “I owe unspeakable and never to be forgotten gratitude to Salvation Oil. It made a miraculous cure of my rheumatism.” . Theodore Thespis—But, my dear fellow, rll pay you in time. Peter S. Flint—l prefer it in money.
