A day or two since we noted that
over %, 900 passages had already been
booked for the Atlantic passage this
year. Subsequent kilograms inform US
that the number of passports taken out
from the State Department so far has
exceeded 10000. This is only another
proof OF what a tyrannous mistress is

The State every four or Ave years has severe
drought Some claim that the keeping of so
much stock on the plains Is what causes the
droughts. They tramp the ground so hard

tProm the Springfield tIil.) Journal, Juiysl
From Mr.. Ed Hill, deputy United Statos
marshal, who yesterday returned from q
visit to Olney, Richland county, We learn
some interesting facts connected with the
recent manifestations Of alleged supernatural
power by Mrs. Powell, vito Of DR.. I. A.
Powell, Of olncy, who will be remembered
by many Of our citizens as prominent mem
Der Of tho Twenty-seventh General Assembly.
Il appears that upward Of a year ago Mrs.
Powell declared herself possessed Of super
natural gifts. but being a lady OF unusual re-
nnement and delicacy q manifestation Of
them was naturally repugnait to her. More re-
Gently, however, as she states, she was d.
vinely instructed to put In practice her
power, and claiming II to be entirely q heay-
emily gift she hesltatcd not to comply with
what she considered direct mandate Of tho
Deity.
Her powers, according to the report Of the
citizens OF Olney, many Of whom fully accord
to her miraculous attributes, Is chiefly mani
Tested IN the healing of the sick. This Is re-
ported TO be accomplished by the imposition
Of hands accompanied by prayer and repetil
ton OF Scripture, though the cure IL not
always instantaneous, but occurs OF the time
Mrs. Powell states II will DO accomplished.
1t Is further stated that so great Is the conf
ucncc III hof power that nundkerchlefs are
sent her, and they, passing through her
hands, are returned, and effect the cure Of
the sick person sending them. The effect OF
these several manifestations, is said TO be de-
pressing upon. the health>of Mrs. Powell,
who continues them, however, as she believes,
In obedience to Divine direction. q
Naturally, these circumstances create quite
eommotion In the vicinity, and even from
places remote crowds are gathering TO wit
ness the cures. Mr.. Hill states that on Friday
last one hundred and twelve persons had
called TO zee Mrs. Powell, whose doors are
now open to all who desire her ministrations,
which are, of course, rendered gratu!tously.
Among those stated to be cured by her are
several prominent citizens ct 0lney well
known In this city. The entire circumstances
are OF that peculiar character hardly suscept-
ible OF explanation, more especially As the
persons connected with them are OF such
character as to entirely preclude the suspi.
cion OF chicanery. II may be added that the
subject ofdhese Divine revelations, as she con.
siders them, Is not q believer Ia splritualism,
but member In good standing OF the Pres.
byterian communion.
