SPIRITUAL Light I'm Minnesota.

A correspondent Of the Red Wing Ar,

the authority Of CDR" Freeman Of Has
tings, Magnetic Healer that on the
18th inst, the Doctor started soon after
6 P. N. to walk from Zumbrota to Pine
Island. Ii vas so dark that he followed
the road with difficulty, and half mile
out from Zumbrota he stumbled and fell
to the ground. "OD his rising, the road
in front of him, writes the correspond
ent, twas as visible rs though the moon
was out in all its respondent glory. lie
looked around with wonder and admira.
ton to see from whence the light came,
but all beyond few rods in front Of him,
and which was confined to the
narrow limits of the road, was as
dark as can well be imagined. A few
rods further on and just opposite the
grove near Mr.. Rogers he stepped one
side to cut a cane or stick on which to
hang his satchel in order that he might
carry it more easily on his shoulder
Leaving the road he left tho Jay Of light
and stepped into total darkness in which
state he obtained his stick. On return.
ng to the road again he found it illuml-
mated and he pursued his journey, the
road in front Of him being as plain and
as though he had lighted lantern
in his hard.
Occasionally he would halt and look
behind and into the ETHEREAL bodies to be
convinced from whence this illumination
came, but as before all was midnight
only in the narrow limits
of the road directly in front Of him.
In this way, without any thoughts Of de-
parted friends, he continued ON until he
came near Hon. T. j. Mtchell's, where
his daughter, Mrs. Bruce Dickey, was
thrown from her carriage three years
since and killed. The circumstance OF
this sad affair became vivid in his mind
and II seemed as though the road was so
clear and bright that he could see the
mark Of the horses shoe corks. Continu

VIM. NJ. Tweed escaped from the ward.
en- Of Ludlow strict Jail, on Saturday, the
9Th, while making customary visit to
the house of Tweed's son-in.law, Mr..
Douglas, on Madison avenue, where
Tweed's wife resided. Tweed asked per-
mission to 60 up stairs to see his wife,
which was granted. Tweed staid up
about fifteen minutes when he (Dunham)
becoming uneasy at his prolonged alb
seuce, sent Tweed's son after him. He
soon returned and said, Father is not
there" The warden then rushed to the
front door and looked up and down the
street, but saw no person resembling
Tweed. Tweed had taken his hat with
him, but had left his overcoat in the
hall.
Hagan, the assistant jailor, said he
saw Tweed go up three or four steps of
TIE stairs, but is not certain that he went
up the full fight. The house was
searched from top to bottom, but no trace
Of the fugitive was found. Tweed's son
was in very excited condition when he
learned of his fathers escape. lie pulled
his hair and exclaimed he was ruined, as
did also Mr.. Douglass, the son.in.law.
Warden Dundam admits having taken
Tweed out to drive some three or four
times while he was in his custody, as
Tweed was complaining of terrible head
aches. The bonds given by the sheriff
for the proper performance of his duties
are for $4,000, and those Of Warden
Durham $4,000.

This anecdote is said to have been told

was very anx. IS to sail a race with the
lord, who was as anxious not to. Travers
invited the lord to dine with him in New

lowing influence of victuals and viands
the lord might consent to race. The lord
took with him his brother-in-law, who
was instructed to chime in every time
Travers showed aggression, and to
divert his attention. Travers at
length, suffering as usual, said: II h.h-
hear you have fine ya.ya-yacht. I'd

bishop Meauaia ON the school Ques.


Bishop McQuaid of Rochester has
given his views on the school question at
considerable length to a reporter of The
Buffalo Courier. He protests against
the idea that the Catholics intend an
alliance with either politicl party, or
any collision with either. What they
do desire is this; "0ur object is to gather
in the children, in large cities, whose
parents are, many of them, too ignorant,
or lack time to give them proper in.
struction. The state cannot reach all
these children, but we can, and we do
not ask the State to pay for the religious
children, but simply for the secular
teaching they receive. We erect the
buildings, provide the teachers, who shall
however, be subject to the examinations
required by the State and then for a nom
inal rentel, we allow the State full control
Of these schools during the ordinary
schoolhours, in which time only peculiar
instruction shall be given. Before and
after such hours we propose to give the
pupils such religious teaching as we deem
essential in the education Of youth. The
plan is already in practical operation at
Corning, Elmira and Lima, and by
the cooperation of Republicans, and still
more markedly in the schools Of the
children's Aid Society in New York."

from the schools, 81 do not want the

that the newspaper Of the future will be
