A BArTist minister of Marysville, Tennessee, recently declared that he had been restored to life after being dead three days, his return to the world being for the purpose of evangelizing it.

Tare Dablin (Ireland) Freeman's .Jour nal admits that the spirit of Nihiliam seems to actuate a desperate organisation which has its headquarters in Dublin. English newspapers compare the state of tne country to that of Russia. A leading lrnaIIl says: "Ireland has outgrown its existing system of government, and, un able itself to change it, is writhing con vulsively in the shackles imposed upon it. The servants of the Govern~ment live in terrgr of their lives, and are protected from assassination solely by body-guards >f police and soldiers. It is exactly the - amne state of afflairs as exists in Russia, Lnd it is marvelous that our statesmen .vill not recognize it." Own~to to the boldnoss of train robbers nd the number of bad or suspicious 3haracters infesting the towns, and -ountry in the northern part of Texas, he railroad companies are taking unusual g)r~eautions to protect their trains.

Tin printing of Thurlow Weed's death- ] bed statements in the New York papers i recently concerning the disappearance t of William Morgan after the publication of his pamphlet entitled "Free Masonry I Exposed and Explained," in 1820, has orgated an astonishing revival of all the t incidents connected with that re vse rious case. Prominent Masons through- a out the country have been interviewed, t and all emphatically denounce the acou- L sation of tte complicity of their Order in 1 Morgan's death, both ftdase and ridieu lous. Morgan's pamphlet was issued during a heated political canvass in which Mr..Weed was waging a bitter and Lnoessant war against the . Masonic Order,and Morgan's misterious disappear I anoe was immediately seized upon by Mr. Weed and extensively used in the u anti Masonio campaign. Whatever ( may have been the fate of Morgan, it is 0 doubtful if the deep mystery surround ing his disappelarance will ever be satis- t factorily solved. - Tim Cincinnati College of Music have announced the third of their grand op- b eratic feats to take place in the Music a Hall of that city, on January 29, 30 t: and 31, and February 1, 2 and 3, 1883- t embracing eight distinct performances.

A el day or two ago an aidvertisement ap- a peared .in one of the local newspapers, a reading: "Wanted-Models--Male and vi female." There weronumerous responses, tg but few being males and about twenty live femnales. The person selected as the j< tirst model is described as a young lady u of rare charms, a beautiful face and a splendid physique. She is reported to a' dwell in one of the best quarters of the It town, and said to be highly educated. si Vhe conditions upon which she consent- o ed to become a model were that her name a should not be disclosed and that she a 4hould be allowed to wear a veil at pos ings. Leading members of the club de- j, fend their action by asserting that there s can be no harm in studying from the e aude as long as the matter is properly p oonducted. It remains to be seen whether tJ the use of a female model will be toler-e ..otd in staid old Detroit. ,h Ekating Costumes. b It may be a tritle unseasonable to ti speak of skating just yet, but for young c ladies who indul~go in that pleasant pa.- a time, and wish to make costumes es- e pecially for skatinga, it may not be out h of place to descr be one which wilt c: serve as a model from which to fashion " others.

A very stiange case of a little girl, rour years old, suffer from nar Dolepsy, has been repo in this city.

These attacks of leep gradually increased in severity mnd frequency until she used to have at - least twenty a day, and often as many s five or six at the table while eating.

A t few montas ago she began to have ou irams in addit on to the narcole sy ' and becaine very destructive, hav: thl g a desre to kill everything Th she came in contact with, and it re- CI cuired great care to restrain her.

A coupleof years u ago there was a man alloted with P uaroolepsy in the city, whose attacks of c sleep used to last -from two to three days, and came cn once or twice a h month. Some time ago a we'l-known b sporting man. who was a narooleptic, U lived here and was a source of much 1 curlosty. Occasionally he would as- d tonish bis friends by going to sleep at e the bar while taking a drink and re. main perfectly unconscious for a few moments, when he would wake up and take his drink, perfectly unconscious of any ibterruption.
