WIFE MURDER IN ARKANSAS.

From the Leayenworth Commercial, Stpt. g.
DIR. Chase, of the Kansas Farmer who
returned to the city last evening from
Miami county, furnishes US with the VS. OF
terrible murder, on Friday night, near
Stanton.
An old farmer named Shearer, resi-
dent of Miami county, since the early set
Element of Kansas, recently became very
qusrrelsome in his family, and on Friday
night attacked his son-in-law, who escaped
from his grasp and ran out Of the house
He remained out but few minutes, and
returned with club to defend himself
and the balance of the family. Upon re-
entering, a ghastly sight presented itself
before him. While absent, the old man
had murdered his daughter, cutting her
bowels out, and then cut his wife's throat
from ear to ear. As soon as his son.in-law
came in, he renewed the attack on him,
but was felled by a severe blow over the
head with the club, which killed him al
most instantly.
When DR.. Chase left the old lady was
still alive, but ne hopes were entertained
of her surviving.

SPIRITUALISM.
A NEW PHASE OF THE QUESTION

In odd and New, for September, is an
article on "Ghosts and Ghost SEEING" by
+. w. Clark, which puts new phase
upon the phenomena OF Spiritualism
The person believing or wishing to be-
leve in Spirtualism at the outset, is all
the time looking for visions, and-con-
sciously or unconsciously trying to excite
them; and not knowing what they are,
ascribes them to spirits.
The power thus acquired is at first ex.
erted for self, then for friends, then for
friends friends, and finally the posssssor
Of it becomes apublic seeing medium"
Suppose, now, a believer had q "seance"
with such a person. The medium sees
certain forms surrounding the client, and
describes them vaguely; for instance,
there is seen an old man with gray hair, u
little girl or a smiling infant-the nature
of the spirit desired often being suggested
| by the visitor. Thus tho latter wishes
to know il his or her mother, or father or
brother, or some other relative is present,
and the medium sees as required. Mean
while, unconsciously, the believer eagerly
| fills out in his or her own mind the de-
| tails which are not brought into the me-
dium's description, and finally goes away
satisfied with the splendid tests received
and the beautiful lang uage heard.
Now, do not WISH in this connection,
| to be regarded as condemning Spiritual
ism. The subject is so many sided and
presents so many curious phases that a
hasty condemnation of the whole from the
examination of single set of phenomena
would be in the highest degree rash. My
desire here is merely to show that the see
ing of supposed spirits needs no spiritual
hypothesis whatever to account for it; such
hypothesis being rather hindrance than
an aid. 1t seems to me, however, 1t may
appear to my readers that all genuine
cases Of ghost seeing" may be referred to
this peculiar affection of the eye-sensorisl
vision and may be classed directly with
the ordinary flashes Of color which all per-
sons may produce at will. Possibly, also,
the terrible visions of the drunkard, of the
opium eater and of the fever patient, may
be classed in the same category. What
ever the direct optical cause Of them may
be, il is hardly reasonable to believe that
phenomena which are comfortable by will,
or productible by illness or by poisonous
drugs, can be ascribed TO active, indepen-
dent intelligence outside of the seers
brain.

THE DYING DOMINICAN.
FATHER TOM BURKE AT THE POINT or
DEATH.

DEATH.
From the New York World, sept. g.
The announcement that Father Burke,
the Dominican priest would lecture last
evening, at the academy of music for the
benefit of the institution of mercy, was the
means of collecting number of people
who were anxious to hear him; but to their
disappointment the academy was closed,
owing to the illness of the lecturer, whose
recovery for the past two days has been
almost despaired of. Father Burke, after
returning from call on Monday night,
was Frustrated by severe attack of hem
orrhage of the lungs, and afterward with
cholera morbus, which tended to irrtate
his first complaint. The best medical
skill of the city was mmediately sent for,
and, owing TO the united efforts OF the doc
tors, there are some hopes that he may re-
cover. The cause of bis severe and sud-
den illness is attributed TO overwork, and
it is deemed necessary by the reverend
gentleman's friends that he cancel all en-
gagements to lecture until he has entirely
recovered. Father Burke was sent to this
country a few months since by the general
of his order in Rome as the vistor-general
of the Dominican order in America.
Since his arrival in this country he has
delivered in one hundred and fifty days,
in addition to his duties, one hundred and
sixty-two lectures and one hundred and
forty-nine sermons. He has also AZ
tended carefully to the publication of his
book of sermons, which was issued few
weeks since. Owing to his immense pop
ularity among the Catholic portion of the
community his illness has been kept-se-
cret, and consequently few persons outside
the clergy were aware that he was SO near
death.

Our citizens will remember how the
showers came, night before last, in fire.
quent succession, pouring torrents while
day lasted, but stopping after a brief
pour. Well, there were, at o'clock on
that evening, seven men at the point
in Sycamore and Abigail streets to
which is completed the great sewer
which is really an uptown extension of
the big Eggleston avenue sewer. Their
business is TO clean the open end of
that sewer, so as 10 prevent delay to
workmen engaged in constructing it up
Sycamore street. 1t had occurred to
them that, by stirring the sediment at
the bottom of the sewer, the water
from the showers would wash it away,
and their work would. in this way, be
greatly expedited. After long cessa.
ton in the rain, they went into the
sewer some distance, and continued
their work.
While so engaged, one of those
heavy, sudden showers which charac.
terized the evening, came up and poured
down its tremendous streams. The
first warning they had of their peril
was a sudden rush of water upon them,
carrying the whole party off their feet.
The four men nearest the mouth of
the sewer escaped with difficulty, bat
Ting up stream against powerful cur
rent the other three were carried
down toward the river by the galloping
tide of defilcd waters. Two of them
caught at man.hole near the canal
and succeeded in making themselves
heard by their four companions who
had escaped. They were drawn up to
the solid ground by these. But John
Clark, one of their companions, was
not so fortunate. He continued to
travel down to Court street, where he
made short turn and thence proceeded
before the every moment increasing
volume Of waters to Eggleston avenue
sewer, where he made turn to the
right, whence it was straight road TO
the river. Mr.. Clark tells the story
himself. He says he proceeded down
in the darkness, his back 10 the press
of waters and his face 10 their current.
AS he could not stand up, he put him
self as nearly as possible in a sitting
position, and went down the hill very
much as a boy slides down hill on a
sled, only Mr.. Clark had no sled.
Coming TO the mouth of the sewer
where its waters discharge into the Ohio
river, he cried for help. Nj. Lewis,
who lives in a tenement wharf. boat at
that point, and who hires rowboats to
parties, heard his cries, came to his re.
lief, and saved him. Mr.. Clark, last
night, exhibited badly torn pair of
pants and pretty roughly bruised

One pound of green copperas, costing
seven cents, dissolved in one quart of
water, and poured down water closet,
will effectually concentrate and destroy
the foulest smells. On board ships and
steamboats,, about hotels and other pub.
lie places, there is nothing so nice to
purify the air. Simple green copperas,
dissolved under the bed in anything
that will hold water, will render hos.
pital, or other places for the sick, free
from unpleasant smells. In fish mar
kets, slaughter-houses, sinks, and wher-
ever there are offensive putrid gases,
dissolve copperas and sprinkle it about,
and in few days the smell will pass
away. If a cat, rat or mouse dies about
the house, and sends forth an offensive
gas, place some dissolved copperas in
an open vessel near the place where the
nuisance is, and it will purify the at
mosphere.
