Presentiments of Death From Paris Fire and Other Tales
The New York Herald reports on a Journal des Debats paper by Henri De Parville about premonitions and ghosts. Mme Julie Garivet foresaw her death after a nightmare, while a Paris doctor foretold a fire at his home and extinguished it. Lincoln dreamed of black-clad stairs before assassination, Louis II of Bavaria died after a vision, and other tales link dreams to fate. Mozart's Requiem fate also intertwines with a stranger's warning.
