a Thi. AN Age Of Miracles 2


For nearly seven years past a girl
named Louise Lateau, in Belgium, ha;
been exhibiting some physical phenomena
which Catholic authorities have pro
hounced miraculous. The chief Of these
phenomena consisted Of ecstatic frances
on Fridays, during which there were ex.
udations Of blood from her left side and
her hands and teet-typical, as the Ro.
man Church claimed, Of the wounds In
fieted Upon Christ at Ills crucifxion
The supporters Of the miraculous theory
have also asserted that, since early In 1871
the girl has taken no nourishment except
the sacramenlal wafer, her stomach re.
jeeting all other food; and that, when she
had fallen into a state Of religious exalta,
ton, no one could restore her to con,
seriousness except her Bishop or some one
to whom he had expressly delegated that
power. Scientific men have held thai
Louise's frances and stigmata were the re-
suits simply Of epilepsy and general ner.
vOus disease, to which the girl has been
subject from early cbildhood-a number
Of cases Of a similar character to hers be
ing on record in medical works, in which
cases no doubts we're or could be enter.
taihed asto the purely nervous origin Of
the manifestations.
The claim that only the Bishop or hit
delegate possessed the power to bring the
gtfl out Of her frances has been disptoved
BY actual experiment, and the fact thai
deception has been practiced on thit
point warrants the belief that the claim
Of subsistence upon the consecrated wa
iet alone also rests upon deceptive
basis.

It's fact apparent to every one who

located for artificial drainage, it is yet

WHAT THE INsTALMENT OF BROOKS MEANT
1t has been the misfortune Of President Grant
that many Of his favorite enterprises have had
upon them the faint OF corruption. Tue st. Do

business was ROBBERY OF the Treasury; the I'M
provement OF Washington oy his friend Mr. Shepherd
has been denounced everywhere as Joo and
now, unluckily the President fell into the trap
or these Arkansas jobDers, and became their ally.
He had forced Brooks out OF the State House In
1874. and in 1875 he demanded that Brooks should
be forced in again. Now, 10 install Brooks as
Governor was TO continue the robbers In power

have called the men who ruled Arkansas from
1868 to 1874 robbers, plunderers and pirates. The
figures given IN this ana preceding letter abun
dainty justify this language. Let me repeat here
briefly what they did. 1nd by the State Audi
tors account the years 1859 and 1850, that at
that time the cost OF administering the State gov
eminent was $780,. SOC for two years, or, roughly,
$3.50, 900 per annum. Making every lair allowance,
II should rot have cost. from 1858 TO 1874,
more than twice this sum, or 100000 per
years. But in that period there were
collected from the people in taxes, the
prodigious sum OF S6,674, 600; the bonded debt
was increased s,753, 0co; a boating DEBT OF scrip,
demoralzing to the community was added, or
81, S65 600; and thus these men cost the State
alone, IN six years, over $4,000 900, instead or
81, 604 900, which would nave been a fair charge;
and. Tor this vast expenditure, there was no re-
turn, except In despotic government. broken
credit, ruined industry and deplorable corrup-
ton OF public morals, growing out OF q depraved
currency aud unbridled and open THEFT IN high
places. But TINS still leaves out the county and
other local taxes, or which have no record; and
the county, city and township debts, an unascer-
talnable total. thought by the best experts to
amount to rot less than S. 100000 more.
In my next hope to tell you something OF the
condition o! the State as to peace and security
Tor life, liberty and property.

TENCED TO THE PEN

ST. LOUIS, November 13.-The whisky
ring cases have assumed notable phase
to-day, and there is great excitement in
indicted circles. The first blow of JUS
tice has fallen here. The only occur
renee of special note has been the post
ponement of the trials of Mcguire, ex-
Collector Fitzroy, and Mckee, proprietor
Globe Democrat, until December 10, but at
Jefferson City, Joyce, the active agent Of
the ring has been sentenced. 1t was or
dered that he should be brought to st.
Louis, that his testimony might be made
useful, and Judge Krekel, of the Western
district, had fully decided to send him.
Joyce promptly demanded to be sentenc-
ed on the minor conviction already Sc
cured, and this morning the motion for a
new trial and to receive sentence passed
for one year and a half on three counts,
which were for the same offense, consid-
cred by the court as ons count, and two
years on the fourth count, making three
years and halfin all, and a fine of s.
900. The judge, in passing sentence, re-
marked that he had no doubt whatever
of the defendants guilt. If he had, the
sentence would not be passed, even at
the defendants request. The evidence
of his guilt was before the court in the
letter-book, in his own handwriting.
Joyce listened to the argument defiantly,
and responded in speech denying his
guilt,

about a dozen, several of them prominent

TREE CULTURE, Under the act of Con-
gress offering l6Oac of prairie land in
Western States to any person who will
plant 40 acres of the land with trees and
cultivate them for eight years, about
1,lOO persons had taken up 10000 acres
of land ir Minnesota, up to January.
By the effort of the State and associated
individuals, tits estimated that 20,0O0,-
trees are now being grown in Minnesota,
besides those planted under the Congress
sional grant. A report on the subject
says that the cost ofplanting and Of cul-
tivation is marvelously small, in many
cases not exceeding two or three cents a

offered by Congress are not issued until

yation oftrees,

The paper upon which the Bank Of

HEA Wy FORGERLES at CADIz.

The town of Cadiz has been considera.
bly, excited tie asst week oyer the dis
covery of series of forgeries committed
by George A. Haverfeld, of that place.
Some time since he bought some prop
erty in Cadiz, which he improved very
extensively, and has kept as the Central
Hotel. He is said TO have carried on a
good business, although at heavy ex-
pense, until last Saturday, when he sud-
denly disappeared. The fact then be-
came public that he had forged the
names of his brothers, James and John,
to number ofpromissory notes amount
ing in the aggregate to perhaps $4,000.
There is also a note with the name of
Haverfield's father, now deceased, at
tached, but this his wife claims to be
genuine. Mrs. Haverfeld has executed
a deed conveying all the property in
trust for the benefit of the holders of the
notes. The last seen of her husband was
at Dennison Saturday evening, on the
train going west. 1t is supposed that he
is now in Cansda.-SteubenUille Herald.
