Another ..WonderfaI, Girl.
From the walla walla wv. IT, Union

From the Walla Walla wv. T.) Union.I
For some time past young girl has
created something of a sensation, and
has attracted large audience to the
United Brethren church, where a pro-
tracted meeting has been going on for
some weeks. During the service she
would go into what seemed to be u
trance, and she would go through the
most agonizing contOrtiOns at times,
apparently insensible. 1t was claimed
for her that this was the Lords doing,
and that while in this state she saw
visions and received revelations, etc.
During one of these frances a physi-
clan made a partial examination of
her, and advised that she be removed
from the influence of these meetings,
for the reason that it would, sooner or
later, have an injurious effect on her,
both mentally and physically. For
tbis he was denounced from the pulpit
of the church. A few days after the
pirl called on family of her acquaint-
ance, for the purpose of praying for
them. and soon went into trance. A
highly respected physician was called
i'm to see what allied the girl. She. was
on the bed, and was writhing about,
her head and feet drawn back and her
snine curyed inward. The doctor at
tempted TO find out If there was a con-
traetion of some of the muscles, but
the girl would Immediately turn in
such a way as to prevent the examina-
ton. He then attempted to open her
eyes, but she would wink amt finch
and close her eyes all the tighter,
showing that she had not only con.
seriousness, but sensibility and control
of her muscular system, that she knew
what was going on and could do as she
pleased. At least this is the conclu-
sion that the doctor came to. And
now he and the gentleman at whose
house the girl became entranced are
also censured by some Of those who
claim to believe that she is not o hum-

The opening lecture of Mrs. Walter
C. Lymans first course to ladies was
delivered yesterday afternoon at Asso-
citation hall. The lecturer while advo-
eating most of the views recently adj
vanced by women physicians on phys
iology and hygiene, made some wise
notifications. Rules that will apply
to aborlgines need exceptions before
being adopted by civilized people.
Perverted modes of living require,
so to speak, perverted styles OF
dress. While health is largely de-
pendent upon right diet, it is still
more superintendent upon right breath
ing. A woman's animal spirits
and her endurance are proportional
to her thorough inhalations and
eXhalations. If she be properly
dressed, the ascent of stairs, as
well as of hills, may be made loondu
Give to health. God, in creating parti-
cular portions af the body to perform
special functions, did not intend one
organ to perform the work Of two.
Fashion, however, demands that wo-
men crowd the organs of the thoraX
|
Instead of expand the floating ribs,
partly displace the stomach by the
liver, and contract. the space required
by the lungs. But the lungs are to
purify the blood. If they do not have
room to perform their function, if the
breathing because of the wrong Dress
ing be light, the blood becomes imper-

their habits, the head is much Of the

organs of the chest are pressed down.
ward. Many school girls acquire cur
vature of the spine. eo y-yo
Now, if women cannotfibe cured, of
excess of inactivity the next best thing
to do is to put them in straight-jack-
ct. Corsets are o result of modern
modes Of living. Women, however,
who sit much, or very tleshy women,
might better wear them than suffer
from diseases that may result
because they lack n cans of support. A
woman who wears corset cannot sit
bent far over. The steels and bones of
corset distribute the weight which
would otherwise cut into the body from
skirts and other bands, and thus cause
a torpid state of abdominal muscles.
Corsets can be so made and so worn
that full and deep respiration can be
taken. 1t would be safe to compare q
half-dozen woman who habitually
wear corsets with a halfdozen who do
not.

compelled, for want Of requisite leisure,
10 decline for the present, an invita-
ton 10 lecture before Skllleii Post No,
AZ q. A. r., TO Rome, In this state,
The invitation 10 lecture was conveyed
In u letter written 10 Mr.. Semmes by
Mr.. DarwlnC. favey, representing the
pest mentioned.
lg1. M0BIbE, January 81, 1874.
Mr., Darwin c. pavey, Grand Army Of
the Republics: t'I.. ...t.nlft
DEAR SIR-l am compllmented by
your invitation TO lecture In Rome, n.
y, In aid of the fund 10 procure tomb
stones for deceased United States
soldiers who lost their lives in the late
war between the states. And you are
kind enough TO assure me that the peo-
pie Of central New York would treat
me with hospitality. / thank
you and them, and see no
reason why, as citizens of the same
country who have had u good
rough-and-tumble fight, we should not
make peace and be friends when the
fight Is over especially If the fight has
had the effect 10 increase the respect
which the one had for the other AS
soldiers ut least we can meet on COM
mon ground. The living soldier al
ways mourns the dead one after the
heat Of the fray is over, even though
the dead one may have died by his
hand. Soldiers are not statesmen,
to decide the right and wrong
Of u quarrel; their duty is to their gem
eral and their flag. Human nature
was exalted and adorned in our late
war by many noble soldiers on both
sides, and true soldier cannot but
drop tear over all such who lost their
lives in the quarrel and trust that
the time Is not far distant, when
our children, at our firesldes, will
read the thrilling and romantic story
Of the deeds of their ancestors without
pausing TO ask themselves, when they
come to the story of u true knight,
whether he wore the "blue or the gray.n
1t should be enough for them to know
that he was an American and q true
soldier.
Nothing would give me greater plea
sure, / assure. you, than to make the
acquaintance Of my fellow-citizens of
central New York, but | shall have to
deny myself the pleasure for the pres
ent for want of the requisite leisure.
Renewing my thanks to you for your
kind invitation, l am, very respect
fully, yours, etc.,

IT Is likely we will get somewhere
near the bottom OF the district frauds
after all. From the attitude which the
committee took yesterday Ito appears
some of them at least are in earnest,
and are determined to make n thor
ough examination. The country does
not mind paying for the improvements
of the capital but 1t does not want to
enrich the jobbers who infest it. If
five times the sum expended were up
propriated for building n magnificent
city there would he little or no COM
plant, provided it was honestly ex-
pended. But there is every reason to
believe that for every dollar used for
city improvement two have gone in
the pockets of the ring. That is where
the shoe pinches, and we want to
know whose pocket has been filed
and how the thing was done. Courier
