A Half Hour i'm Heaven.

The Evansville Courier of recent
date says: Some weeks since Eliza
beth Lippert. the wife of farmer
named Gottleib Lippert, of Newburg,
Warwick county, was taken very i'll
with infammatory rheumatism, and,
the disease continuing. her life was
despaired Of She continued to grow
weaker and weaker, and few days
died, or expired to all appearances.
The grief of the family was very great,
but at the death-bed there were also
number of neighbors. In the hour OF
distress they turned in to make them
selves useful, and proceeded to prepare
the corps for, burial. The body was
placed in convenient position, and
was noticed to be still warm. but not
more so than. they are usually after
dying OF tevefs. The neighbors, about
hall n hour ,fter Mrs. Lirpert's death,
commenced to wash the body. As soon,
however, as water was placed on the
face the corpse seemed to become in
spired with life, and after the ablutious
had continued for nearly fifteen min
utes she opened her eyes, much to the
astonishment of the attend ,nts, who
were not little frightened, for they
were dealing with corpse instead Of
one still on this side of the celestial
world. The women continued their
attentions, however. until Mrs. lip
pert was able TO speak. She said that
Just before she died everything about
her beca me dark, and soon she went 10
sleep. When she woke it was bright,
aud as she tells it WIS in strange
place, feeiiBga an ecstasy of pleasure,
and WAS devoid of ali the racking pains
with which she was afflicted during
her illness She gives no definite idea
of the land into which she had in
spirit wandered, or the people she met,
but is certain she was in heaven, and
in her simple way described the place
as being an elysium of bliss. While
enjoying all this it became dark sud-
denly, aud she woke as from a pleasal I
dream, to find that she had been
corpse for nearly an hour, and that the
neighbors were washing her face.
Since then Mrs Lippert has entirely
recovered, and is now able to be about
attending to her household duties, and
in her leisure moments relates to the
open mouthed Newburgers the story
of her DEATH This is the tale related
10y gentleman who arrived from New
burg yesterday. and who resides near
the lady who was the subject OF the
catalep>y.

The Jacksonville South says, on the

where he bought small wild orange

rooms, sent his family to New York
every summer, but. during the entire
time he had not been even as far as
this city from his home, except once
in February, 1873. until April Z, 1873,
when he sold his fifteen acres for ST.
COO in cash, and on the same dry went
one mile south and bought two hun

with steamers passing every day.
Mr.. TowIe, while here, bought lum-
Der to build house and wharf. took
six eolered hands to work for him; and
also took along the County Surveyor
to survey'his land into ten. acre lots.
Before he completed the surveying,
Mr.. aud Mrs. Alvord, of Bridgeport,
Conn, who have spent their winters
in Floridx for the past eight years, aud
have Travelled all over the State. having
heard Of Mr.. Towle's success, stopped
at his place on Drayton Island, and
were so pleased with the situation and
prospects of future profit that they
bought fifteen acres of wild, orange
land for which he paid him 81 800.
Mr.. Towle.wi proceed Immediately
to the improvement Of his new pur-
chase, and will within sixty days have

budding his wild trees. Ills plan is to
bud immediately after cutting off the
tops. These trees, will, inthree years,
be yielding a fair crop of fruit. and ia
FIVE years will be worth fifty dollars

The Financial Outlook.

WHEN the mariner enters the cur
rents of the ocean and comes under
their silent and irresistible influence,
there is no creaking of cordage or
groaning of timber to announce the
presence of the great power that has
seized his craft and is bearing it rapid
ly onward. The log chain does not
indicate any motion, and the unskill-
ed observer upon the deck viewing the
Tapping sail, concludes the ship is not
changing its position on the surface of
the earth. This simile aptly illus
trates the financial condition of our
State to-day. The excited struggling
mass which made California street
pandemonium, can no longer be seen.
Silence reigns within the great bank
ing institution where erstwise was
heard the din of business. The great
spirit Of its chief has passed to the
land where is never heard the jingle of
coin. The sanguine clap their hands
and cry the danger is past. Those
who correctly view the situation know
that We have not seen the end of the
beginning, or the beginning of the
end. The breakers on the edge of
mighty current have shaken the ves-
sci, and now that current holds us
within its silent grasp and bears us on,
where? This coast has heretofore
known nothing but prosperity, and it
is difficult for us to realize that there
are baneful results to spring from the
panic in San Francisco, for it is moth
ing more nor less than a panic. Look
ing back across the Rocky Mountains,
we can behold the disaster that has fol-
lowed the crisis 'of two years ago.
Over the whole Republic, from the
Great Lakes to the Gulf,-from the
Atlantic to the Black Hills, can yet
be seen the depression which came out
of that little run upon the banks.
Commerce has Jagged, the fires have
been eXtingulshed in hundreds OF
manufacturing establishments; doz-
ems of railroads have passed into the
hands of receivers, and money is lay
ing idle in the bank vaults. Values
have been undergoing a shrinkage
that is frightful to contemplate, and
If we mistake not the signs of the
times, the States are now on the verge
of more terrible panic than this
country has ever witnessed. 1t is not
for us to elaborate here the causes
which brought about so much trouble.
An irredeemable currency, reckless
extravaganza, wild speculation, and
the destruction of so much wealth by
the oppressive policy of the Govern
ment in the Southern States, have
done their work. Separated entirely

A Word to Patriots.

We claim the attention of those who
have the welfare of our country at heart
to what we have to say in relation to
the contest now being waged in this
State in general and III this county in
particular. We take it for granted
that most of the voters of Los Angeles
county have listened to the utterances
of the orators who have made address
ses from the various political stand
points. We take it for granted that
the people generally have listened to
the shameful TRADES that have flown
from the unpatriotic lips of such Radi-
cal incendiaries as Phelps, Woods and
Houghton and other conspicuous lu-
minaries in the galaxy OF Republic
anism. We take it for granted that
the people Of Los Angeles county,
however they have politically affiliat-
ed heretofore, are entirely cognizant
of the fact that the party that has at
tempted to crush out the almost inn
poverished South by enactments of in
Vulnerable and odious kinds was repu-
dated last fall in twenty-three of
the States that an incendiary and
corrupt Congress of Radical marplots
were unseated in single campaign,
and that ninety-nine adherents of the
party of spurious legislation and a
jockey administration were spurned
by the indignant and honest masses
of the people of the North, and, yet,
Phelps, Woods and Houghton get up
in our midst, and faunt aloft the
bloody emblem of sectional hate and
party rancour. From the peaceful
platform these turbulent soldiers fight
