most extraordinary fits of stretching
She has now appeared in a new charac
aeter, and is healing the sick With
out any knowledge of medicine she is
performing wonderful cures, and has
many patients. She calls her inter
views with her patients "seeing for
them" In Short she goes into con-
dition in which she sees the location of
the ailment, knows what the complaint
is, accurately describes the symptoms
and sensations, and has revealed to her
the means of cure, which is always
some native herb or root, and she,
moreover, tells you just where needed
medicine grows. Some instances,
showing her power to direct where the
material for the healing stews could be
gathered, are interesting. At Tyring-
ham, where she had seven Of the Shak-
er family under her care, she prescribed
white willow as an ingredient for some
| medicine. A search was made, and
various sorts of willow. brought to her,
but she rejected them as not Of the
right sort. Another was made, with
like results, and then she went into
one of her 'seeiug fits" and told the
parties to go across certain meadow,
over bridge that spanned the stream
there, then along the brookside until
they came to fence, and there they
would find the article wanted. Her
directions were followed, and the right

it seeing at once the difference between
that and the variety previously taken
to her. The tree grew where she had
never been, and she could not have
known either Of the bridge or zence.

scriptions are said to have cured case

treated without success by yarions phy~

plainly. aud on they went, coming at

mia affords an excellent illustration5 of
this fact, The farmers, along the line
butt the road themselves and put it in

calculations from which. they learned
that the people who would be accommo-

/ The Proposed Twenty Cent Piece.


In note to the Baltimore American,
Mr.. NJ. v. Davis writes from the Office
of the directors of the mint, as follows
"In your issne OF TO day, noticed a
paragraph stating thatSat the next ses-
sion OF congress- it ia proposed to have
two new silver coins authorized, viz.
A twelve-and-a .halfznnd twenty-cent
piece, and asking the Question: sWhy
not adhere to decimal lcoins?' I think
the idea of san twelve and half
and twenty cent coin is erron-
eous, and has Sarisen from the
fact in telegraphing to the press sy-
nopsis of the directors report for the
last fiscal year, the proposed twenty
cent coin was referred to as twelve
cent coin, the mistake being with the
operator, not in the.report. The neces-
sity for such o eoinsdoes not exist. A
bill authorizing the issue of twenty
cent silver coin was introduced in the
senate by Senator Jones, of Nevada,
aud passed that body Mt it's last session.
Not reaching the house, however, until
the closing hours. it failed for want OF
time, but will probRbly become law at
the next session of congress-. The OBJ.
iect in providing forsuch coin was to
relieve an embarrassment which has
long prevailed on tho Pacific coast in
making change. inRcohsequence of a
ten. cent silver coin, or bit, being the
lowest denomina ted coin in circulation
-our five. cent copper nickel coins be.
ing almost unknoswnSin California, and
all efforts to INTRODUCES them having thus
far proven unsuccessful. Under the
Bit system which obtains there, if a
purchaser offers in payment twonty-
tive.cent coin for an article, the price OF
which is bit, or ten cents, he receives
only ten cents chapgey and consequently
loses five cents in the transaction. The
issue OF twenty cent coin will relieve
this difficulty, aud at the same time
conform to our decimal system OF
monpy "
