GHOSTS ARE VISIBLE. Some People Se Constituted That They Seo Snypernatural Beings. There is no doubt that a person may apparently see objects and hear words which another person close by cannot see and hear. Such impressions are to be referred not to actually existing objects, but to the action of the sub- ject’s mind. Dr. Abercromby tells us of one patient who could, by directing nis attention to an idca, call up to sight the appropriate image or scene, though the thing called up were an object he had never seen but had mere- ly imagined. When meeting a friend in the street he could not be sure whether the appearance was his friend or a spectral illusion till he had tried to touch it and had heard the voice. Goethe saw an exact counterpart of himself advancing toward him, an ex- perience related by Wilkie Collins. Sir Walter Scott relates that soon afier the death of Lord Byron he read an account of the deceased poet. On step- ping into the hall immediately after he saw right before him, in a stand- ing posture, the exact representation of his departed friend, whose recollec- tion had been so strongly brought to his imagination. After stopping a mo- ment to note the extraordinary resem- blance he advanced toward it and the figure gradually disappeared, Some of the cases narrated by Sir David Brew- ster are particularly instructive. The subject was a lady (Mrs. 4.) and her hallucinations were carefu ly studied by her husband ané Sir David. On one occasion she saw her husband, as she thought, who had gone out halt an hour before, standing within twa feet of her in the drawing-room. She was astonished to receive no response when she spoke to him. She remem- bered that Sir David had told her te press one eyeball with the finger when the impression of any real object would be doubled. She tried to apply the test, but the figure walked away and disappeared. The simple scien- tific experiment diverted her attention from the creation cf her mind, and this, no longer being in sole posscssion, could not maintain itself and was dis- solved. Another hallucination took the form of her dead _ sister-in-law. The figure appeared in a dress which Mrs. A. had never scen, but which had been deseriked to her by a ‘sommon riend.—Westminster Review AN IRISH JUDGE. ss of Wit from a Jurist with a Brogue. tresue of W One day he w: as lord ¢ but an Irishman, whi ch was perfectly correct.

CATACH Shipping Dill Is Winning Pricads Amcng Southern Dusiness Men. CEMOGRATS FAVOR SUBSIDY HIEASURE, Petitions in Behalf of the Bill from Many Large Commercial Associa- tions—Great Change in Publie Sen- timent Has Recently Been Wrought, {Special Correspondence.) Washington, D. C., Feb. 6. The south is raliying to the support of the shipping bill. This fact is likely to prove the pivotal feature of the struggie over the measure. During the debate on Wednesday last news reached the capitol that the Savannah board of trade had unanimously adopted resolutions directing its delegates to the coming Brunswick Maritime conference to favor subsidies. Si- multaneously with the spread of this intelli- gence through the capitol, it was noticed | as a singular coincidence that Senator Clay of Georgia rose and offered amendments to the bill, limiting the period of the subsidy to ten years, and confining it below a maximum of 16 knots’ speed, instead of 18, as it stands at present in the amended form | cf the bill. This, however, does not neces- sarily indicate a change of heart on the part of Senator Clay, who has'been hereto- fore one of the strongest and most active and uncompromising opponents of the meas- ure. This is not the first gun from the south, by any means. Petitions in favor of the bill are on fie from more than 20 large and important southern associations, in- cluding the New Orleans chamber of com- merce, board of trade and produce exchange, the Richmond chamber of commerce, the Norfo:k board of trade, the Little Rock board of trade, the Alabama state grange, the Tarboro board of trade, the St. Louis merchants’ exchange and the Southern In- dustrial association and the ton Spinners’ association. In fact, nearly every southern state hes furnished an em- 3 sement of the bill by its lead- nercial bodies. great and growing senti- section, it is not surpris- ing that the solid opposition of the south- rn’ senators has begun to weaken, as it has, very perceptibly and decidedly. At first these senators—Messrs. Jones, y, Bacon and others—declared that they would fight the bill by every means within their power, and a disposition to filibuster was manifest early in the week; but the news which they have heard lately from their constituents appears to have altered their minds as to the adv ity of filibustering. ‘Their pres- ion seems to be to deliver a cer- tain number of two-hours’ speeches in the negative, and then to let the repubi zo ahead and assume the full responsibilit, for the‘iegislation. The alternative policy— involving filibustering, the failure of all other measures, and an extra session in consequehce—would Fe a very serious re- sponsibility for the democrats to shoulder, especially if not sustained by the citizens of the southern states. More than t it has been ascertained that the shipping bill 1 receive the votes of a goodly number of democrats—at least six and probably seven or cight in the sen- ate, and ten or a dozen in the house. That the examination and discussion of the meas- ure have effected a great change in public sentiment already is unquestionable, ‘and the ehange is still going on and spreading. As soon as the bill passes the senate and gets over to the house it is practically sure to have plain sailing. Representative Grosvenor, of Ohio, says that a rule will be reported whereby two days will be set apart for cebate upon the measure, and that at the end of that period a final vote will be ordered. In the house the rules of pro- cedure allow of such peremptory closure of bate--in fact, without such closure noth- ned in such a large e—but in the senate the li te is practicaliy untrammeled. ‘Thus it ens that it is much more difficu:t to force or to hurry a measure through the senate than through the house. maieriaily. The senators ves generally do not “se of remaining here ali the spring te about the Philippines, when the as they say, has ample power It ie possible that the Spooner measure in rela- tion to this subject may he tacked on as a rider to some appropriation bill, and that congress may let it go at that for the pres- ent. As for the Cuban constitution, which has furnished ancther reason for an extra session, many congressmen are now ques- tioning whether this country has any right to meddle with that instrument. The war was undertaken to free Cuba. and it waa expressly and officially dec:ared by this to subside ver, and represen the point” to | president, government that we would assume no fur- | ther control or supervision of the island after its pacification. Many now assert that the pacification has been accompiished, and that the United States therefore, in reality and justice, has nothing to say or to do about the Cuban constitution. This idea has been canvassed in a lively manner in and about the capitol during the last day or two, and it appears to be becoming popular. The president is rapidiy regaining his wonted health and strength, after nearly a month’s tussle with the grip. Other dis- tinguished victims of the distemper are also recovering, and the epidemic seems to have spent its force. This is fortunate for vari- ous reasons, but particularly so in view of the fast approaching inauguration cere- movies. There have been inaugurations amid blizzards and zero gales, but an iv- auguration in the midst of a grip epidemic would be a dismal event indeed.
