Harrison desired to have Saun-
ders' idea of Spiritualism and de
scription of his own peculiar expe-
rience in his case to aid the former
in his debate with Moses Hull.
Saunders has no faith whatever in
so-cailed Spiritualism, and he is.
SO SENSITIVE IN REGARD TO HIS MIS-
FORTUNE,
as he calls it, that he did not care
to have it exhibited to the world in
debate or otherwise, and therefore
refused the request Not long af-
terward, Harrison's second, who re-
sides in Nashville, was engaged in
writing a letter concerning Saun-
ders' psychological condition. At
the very hour, Saunders happened
to be in clairvoyant state at
Mooresville, Ala, where he lives.
All at once he broke out into a loud
laugh and exclaimed: ''W-," men
tioning Harrison's s second by name,
'is writing enormously of me in a
letter" 1t was afterwards ascer-
tanned that the letter just as Saun-
ders had described it was being writ
ten at the moment he mentioned it.
1t is related that one dark night
Saunders arose from his bed, and,
taking a shotgun, proceeded
through a dense wood to the Ten
nessec river, about mile distant
from his house, shot some ducks,
waded through the water, procured,
them, returned home with them, and
was not aware, the next morning,
that he had been away from home.
MR.. DEwlTT's FUNNY APPEARANCE.
On another occasion the wife of
another Cumberland Presbyterian
minister-the Rev. Mr.. De Witt
living in the same neighborhood
with Saunders, prepared for him
some delicacies that she knew he
relished, and then requested her
husband to carry them over to him.
Mr.. De Witt demurred at first, but
was afterward prevailed upon to
take ttem. There had been a path
way through the field leading be-
tween the two houses, and as De
Witt neared the gap, he met six or
eight men who had just rebuilt the
fence, making 1t unusually high, in
order to stop passage through that
way. De Witt, instead of going
around, concluded that he would
climb the high fence. As he got
upon the top rail his hold was very
insecure. Both hands were full
holding the stuff his wife had sent.
his hat fell off, and, as the wind was
blowing hard, his coat tails flew, and
his hair looked as if under a galvan-
ic shock. Altogether, his appear
ance was highly ludicrous. At that
moment Saunders, lying in his room
more than half a mile distant,
laughed very heartily and exclaim-
ed 'Look at De Wittr and minute
ly described his appearance and po-
sition, mentioning that his errand
was to bring him some delicacies
from his good old lady. While De
Witt was undecided as to whether
be would remain on the fence or
drop off, Saunders exclaimed to
those in the room: Hes about to
lose my eustard after all, and 1 be
deprived of it." Then in few mo-
ments he said. jocosely: "Now De
Witt is down. He did not want to
bring me those things-the dog"
The appearance ofDe Witt at Saun-
ders' house a few moments after the
above remarks, bearing the delica-
cies, fully confirmed to the minds of
those near him, his accurate descrip-
tion, as did also Mr.. De Witt him
self.
