Tue LATEST SPIRITUALIsTIo SToRY.-On
Saturday morning last our people were not a hit
tie excited over the story OF handkerchlei IN
the possession of Mrs Shelly, on Eighth street,
in this CITY, on which was picture OF oeaut-
tul woman, the drawing, painting, or printing
of which was ascrbed to spiritual agency.
number Of our citizens visited the resi-
dence of Mr.. Shelly and inspected the handkcr-
chief which Mrs S. said had been IN her posses
sion for years; that it was originally purchased
from a merchant in this city, and, having
served its purpose, had been used for some
time as securing cloth, until one day the little
Girl called attention TO what appeared to be a
blood stain on its surface, An attempt was
made to wash il out, but when it was smoOthed
with fiat iron a beautiful picture developed it.
self, which since that time has resisted all at
tempts at removal.
We this morning had the pleasure of an in
terview with MIR. and Mrs. Shelly, who very
kindly gave us all the lacrs in their possession
relative to the matter. From them we learn
that strange aud unaccountabe raps have been
heard in their dwelling for months past, not
only in the night, but in the day time. Some
times they are feeble like the ticking of tele
graph machine, at other times very loud; in one
instance arousing Mr.. Shelly from Il sound
sleep. All investigation has failed to give any
clue to their origin
We do not understand that Mr.. and Mrs. S.
are Spirtualists, but are faithful in trying to
account for the strange things that nave pre-
scented themselves for their consideration. But
the most astounding of all items in connection
with the handkerchief we give below as we re-
ceived Them vouching for nothing.
1t is said that spiritual medium has visited
the city since the handkerchief story became
public; that he had held two seanccs; that at
these scanc0s he has had interesting interviews
with the spirit of the woman whose picture APP
pears on the handkerchief; that she states that
her name was Mrs. Maggie Saunders that
years ago, when the site Of Cairo was nearly or
quite covered with the forest trees, she was tray
cling from the north to the south; that she was
followed by two men, who murdered her on or
near Eighth street in tbs city; that they cut off
her head and that her remains were buried
near the place where the crime was committed;
that she drew the picture on the handkerchief;
that while living she was not an artist but pos
sessed the usual accomplishments of lady;
that she wishes no one evil; that she was muir
dered for her money and jewels, and that she
was 80 years Of age at the time Of her death.
The medium states, we learn, that he had a
view last night of the headless body, and those
present at the seance declare that the shock was
so great that the medium screamed aloud and
manifested other symptoms of nervous agony.

The Minneapolis News claiming that one of
the ST. Paul papers has misled the eastern press
in regard to the water power at Minneapolis,
and specifying Illustrations Of this misleading
influence, says: ''the Worcester Spy, few days
ago, contained a statement TO the effect that
the people of Minneapolis and St. Anthony had
given up all hopes ofsaving the water power, and
were selling off their property for what they
could get, and preparing to leave for more for
tunate localities" The Spy has never
made such a statement as this, nor
auv other statement like it. We gave
an account of the present condition of
ST. Anthony's Falls and the water power,
and suggested that much more effective
method of dealing with the matter, might be
adopted. For instance, all trouble with the
water power would cease, if the Minneapolis
people should change their method, and use it
by means of a canal running from some point
near or above Nicoet island TO point below
the falls. But we have never said or supposed
they would not find some way to surmount the
present difficulty and make the water power
available There is TOO much resolution and
enterprise among the people directly concerned,
to allow them to fail of deviSing means to cs-
tablish secure control of that magnificent water
power and make it permanent source of wealth
and prosperity.
