Is SHE BEWIrCHED2
A Young Girls Supernatural
and Elusive Bed-F'ellOw.
New York World.

New York World.
The good people among the hills
of Morris~county, New Jersey, have
excitement in the case of a young
girl said to be "grievously vexed of
the DEVIL and whose condition is
as unaccountabie as it is deplerable.
The girl, according to The Worlds
informant, is a daughter of Elijah
Nichels, blacksmith of the Glendon
Iron Company, at Hurdtown. She
predicted evil against her fifteenth
birthday, which befel on the 18th of
October last, and since that day she
has been bed-ridden and paralyzed.
At times there appears under the
counterpart of her bed presence
as of rat, RABBIT or cat swiftly
moving from place to place, and
Guiding detection. In vain is the
bed stripped, or the patient removed
to another place; the presence" is
only powerless to act when the
mother sleeps with the child. The
physicians, no less than the clergy,
and the common folk of all the
country side are baffied. Crowds
come daily to see the mystery. On
one recent occasion, Mr.. Richards,
Mayor of Dover, held his stiff hat
above the presence" and the hat
received a blow that crushed it.
Violent blows have been given to a
hand, to cane, and to other OBJ
jects held over the place where the
"presence" was, and, needless to
say, attempts to grab the "presence"
have failed. All the while the girl
lies moaning as if in terror or pain,
and her position in the bed is such
as to show that the mysterious
movements are not caused by her.
The girl has been known to abstain
from all food for the space of fifteen
days, and for some weeks past she
has only received little milk daily,
yet her face is fair, and, when the
visitation is not nigh her sleep is
apparently healthful. Her parents
are plain and honest people, who
view this as an affection not to be
turned to account for notoriety or
money. The neighbors, unable to
account for it in any other way,
have solemnly decreed witchcraft
against an old woman living among
them, and charms are in active de-
mand.

A dispatch from London says,
with degree of truth that will be
appreciated by all readers of our
news, that aGvices from Canstantino
pie, whether favorable or unfavora-
BILE to the Turks, is peculiarly I'M
trustworthy. Thus we had last
week announcement that the Russi
ans had occupied Van and Otti, both
of which were false, and the proba-
BILE result of a panic. just as the re-
iterated story Of the recapture of
Ardahan was the probable result of
a laundering design on the part of
the Government to appease the
populace of Constantinople. On
the other hand, the war news made
public by the Russian Government
is generally ofno Importance what
ever, or several days behind time

Mr.. Smalley says in the New
York Tribune: "In the course OF
two months spent in travel in eight
of the Southern States since the ad
journment of Congress, have been
on the lookout to discover the be-
ginnings of the new party so much
talked of by the Northern newspa-
pers. Not the first sprout have
been able to find. The surface of
the political field is everywhere GOV
cred with thick, stout growth of
Democracy which, whether it be
thought g useful plant OF noxious
weed, is so well rooted that it bids
fair to resist for some time to come
the development of any new crop"

A Heroic Young Lady.

The Misses Vance, of Memphis,
Tenn, have been among the most
famous beauties of the South, and
one of them, Miss Susie, obtained
some literary reputation few years
ago by popular story Of fashiona-
bic Southern life. A few days since
another sister, Miss Lulie Vance,
achieved reputation of another, but
certainly notices. valuable sort, by
heroic attempt'to rescue a drown
ing child. AT picnic party just
below Memphis, little son or Mr..
Alexander fell into the Mississippi,
aud Mics Vance, an expert swim
mer, jumped into the river without
an instant's hesitation, and had al
most reached the drowning boy
when +. he sank beyond recovery.
Meanwhile one of the gentlemen In
the party was swimming out To her
rescue, but, dAsearding his aid, she
reached theshore without difficulty.
The boys body was shortly after
ward recovered, but life Was extinct.

Who Killed the Republican
Party?

Our only hope is that Hayes will
so sieken the conspirators who stole
him into the Executive Mansion
that the experiment will never again
be repeated. There is a bitter
quarrel among several leading Re
publicans as TO who is responsible
for the destruction of the party.
The argument on both sides pre-;
sumes that the party Is dead, and
the question is, who killed it:
Morton comes forward and pro-
poses to galvsnize the party into
life again. He says, with great
ea-nestness, that the mission of the
Radical party has not yet been full
filed. Aud we tell him, with equal
emphasis, that the mission of the
Democracy has not been fulfilled,
and never will be until it has finally
and forever exterminated Radical
ism.-Mensphis appeal.

TO thresh the grain as soon as il
is drawn from the field, and to
market, if it is dry enough, is gen
orally the best plan. The loss al
weight, and that from vermin and
other risks, are saved; the labor OF
stacking or putting it in the barn,
and a second handling are also
saved, and with the cash in his
pocket, a farmer avoids any loss in
value, and if he misses rise, he
will on the whole have saved more
than this might have amounted to,
and has had the use of the money
besides.

rInrELY SUGGESTIONS.
Enemies to the Wheat Crop,
and How to Meet Them.

Indiana Farmer]
Every Indication promises a
large wheat crop, but it should be
remembered that this important &C.
real has many enemies, any one of
which may seriously injure, if not
entirely destroy it in limited sec
tions, and possibly in large districts.
The chinchbug, the weevil, the army
worm, the joint worm, the blight
and the rust are each dangerous
and dreaded foes of this favored
crop. The summer floods that oc-
casionally visit US are almost as
much to be feared. These enemies,
each and all, are in the habit of
making their raids suddenly and
without warning. If anything can
be done to mitigate the severity OF
their attacks, it should be done in
advance of their coming. Such
preparations as are of any avail
ought to be made early in the sea
son, especially in view of the pres
ent crop, which promises so well,
and which will be so valuable II
fully and safely harvested. TO this
end it would be wise for individual
farmers, and for oranges and farm
ers' clubs, to- consider the various
dangers to which the crop is ex-
posed. and the remedies best adapt
ed to meet each case.
During the prevalence of these
pests in previous years the agricul-
tural papers have been full OF sug-
gestions, remedies, methods and ex-
pedients for saving portion of the
crops. Many of these suggestions
were valuable, but unfortunately
they came too late. Before they
could be applied to practice the crop
was destroyed Now.we suggest in
advance that our readers resurrect
their old files of agricultural papers,
and look them over to see what
course it is best to take in any pos
sible emergency, and thus be ready
with the most effective weapons to
meet the foe in whatever way he
may come. There is no more APP
propriate subject for the Grange or
club to discuss for the next few
meetings than that at the head of
this editorial. We write the pres
ent article merely by way of sugges-
ton, and hope that it may call out
many responses for publication, as
well as set many to thinking and re-
calling information on a subject of
paramount importance TO the farm
ers of the country al this time.
