PROF, GOLDBERG. The insanity of Professor Goldberg and his detention at Bloomingdale asylum has caused a good deal of talk around town. Few men are better known in the restaurants and clubs up town than Goldberg. He isa small man with sleepy eyes, red Dundreary whiskers and a Jewish cast of features. He wasan enthusiastic | hime losin and shuffled cards day and night. He was always ready to amuse acrowd, and was hailed from all sides whenever he entered the Brunswick, Delmonico’s or George Brown's chop house. He gave private entertainments at the houses of wealthy New Yorkers, and never was so happy as when amusing a lot of children at a party. I knew the man for ten years, and had a Frag chat with him only afew nights before his strange freak on Union Square, and yet I never suspected the least trace of insanity in him. He ‘was cool, calculating and agreeable. His business was characterized by excellent sense and he made money rapidly. He stored away his earn- ings and was generally regardedasa model bust ness man.

VEC PHENOMENON, th T sister, Madame ne Order, Was with ‘The Strange Performances of Lula Hurst, the Wonderful Georgia Girl, From the New York Sun, BARNESVILLE, Ga., Feb. 16.—Miss Lula Hurst, who has attracted so marked attention in Geor- gia by her remarkable magnetic manifestations, recently repeated her performance in Barnes. ville’ So wonderful has been her execution that science is completely baffled in accounting for this strange freak of nature. Some people think she is strongly magnetle, and that the objects she touches become ma” netized by her touchand are then repelled from her on the principle that “like electricity repels like.” But a stick placed ina glass bot- tle, which 18 a non-conductor, will writhe and twist In the bottle when she holds it. She first held the handle of an umbrella, while four citizens held cords that were tied to the umbrella, suspending jt in the uir. In about two minutes the umbrella began to squirm and twist, and soon the etaft #as wrenched into two parts, and the umbrella was ‘broken to pleces. Then Mr. Middlebrooks, weighing over 200 pounds, sat down In a chair on the stage. She placed her open hands upon the back of the chair, and presently the chair began to move, end soon Mr.Middlebrooks was thrown upon the joor. < a Her wonderful powera were developed last August in her country home. They were heard of abroad, and the Atlanta Constitution sent a reporter to her home to learn if the reports were true. The reporter was convinced, wrote an account of the affair, and after much persua- sion prevailed on Mr. Hurst to take his daughter to Atlanta and give a public exhibition of her Powers. Three successful exhibitions were given in Atlanta. Lula Hurst and her parents are plain country people, and they are as much astonished as any- one else. They do not believe that it 1s the re- sult of spiritualistic influences. * Spiritualists have written to Miss Hurst Ue arp rte ot! strange powers are the results of a but she their letters with contempt.

How To Make Nice Sovp.—In order to make relishing soups a condenser or soup steamer should be purchased, and all the bones and scraps taken from the table should be thrown into it—bitsof chicken, beef, mutton, lamb. The greater variety of meat the nicer will be your soup, and bits of ham and bacon will add to its flavor; also potatoes and onions and turnips and bits ot bread. Pour in cold water, so as to extract all the juices of the meat from the bones. Place the kettle on the back of the stove and do not let it boll, but keep it on the simmer, adding a little cold water if it boils up rapidly. Let it cook on the back of the range allday. At night remove the bones and meat and strain the soup through a sieve and set away. Next morning take off all the , and an hour before dinner you canmake the pew a Rages soup, Peabeesiaee emall fresh carrots and one cho} Ae & vermicelli soup, by agian oes tablespoonfuls of itand two tablespoonfuls-of catsup; or into tomate soup, by chopping finely eight skinned tomatoes and boiling them one hour in the soup.
