A MODERN MIRACLE.
Marvellous Performance Of PEN n
BylvanlA Prleaf.

Mauch Chunk Special to the Gin. Enquirer. !
The good Catholics of this coun.
try are thoroughly excited over a
miracle that is alleged to have been
wrought upon the person of Miss
Amelia Grcth, about thirty-six
years of age, intelligent, and a de-
vout church woman, by Father
Heenan, the Parish Priest of Mauch
Chunk. Miss Greth has been i'll a
long time with consumption, at
tended by violent hemorrhagc of
the lungs. A short time ago Il lady
friend Of the invalid died, and Miss
Greth ayowed that the spirit of the
former appeared to her with the in
teresting information that she was
expiating her sins in purgatory.
Miss Greth thereupon ayowed her
willingness to suffer any penance by
which her deceased friend might be
relieved. The spirit then told her
that she would die at seven o'clock
this Saturday morning, and one
hour afterward Father IIeenan
would have the power of working
the miracle of her resurrection in
the flesh.
The prophecy was fulfilled, ac-
cording to the testimony Of appa-
rently truthful, however credulous,
witnesses, in the withdrawal of the
soul from the body at the appointed
time. Miss Greth seemed inani-
mate, was unconscious, and per-
fectly powerless, physically. While
lying in this condition, the body
was viewed by several thousand
people, who seemed perfectly SatlS-
fled of the verify of her death.
There was the most intense excite.
ment meanwhile, and the subject
engaged the attention of the whole
community. At last the hour ex-
pired, and Father Heenan came
forward and in the presence of a
goodly ynumber Of witnesses said : 81
will now call her lie then pro-
nounced the Christian name Of the
deceased, Amanda" in a loud
voice, there was no response. He
then called a second time, "Amau-
dap Still there was no response
and no motion Of the corpse. A
third call, "Amauda.w was then
made, yhereupon she arose, to the
astonishment Of the skoplipal, and
pronounced herself perfectly well.
She then dressed herself without
delay and walked 10 the church,
three.quarters of a mile away, at u
rapid gait, without assistance; but
followed by hupdredS OF gaping
spectators. She there attended high
mass, celebrated by Father Heenan,
at whicll profound gratitude was
returned to Almighty goa Ag the
whole congregation, in view Of the
wonderful miracle that had been
wrought IN Ebeir midst.
Miss Greth tbsn returned home,

ACROSS THE CHANNEL.
Telephone Talk from Dover 20 the
Coast OF ErRnce.

Coast OF France.
London Timos.l
On Saturday last some further
experiments were carried out on
the telegraph cable connecting st.
Margaret'S Bay, near Dover, and
the village of Sandgatte, on the
French coast. The mayor of Dover
and several other gentlemen con-
nected with the town drove over to
the bay and assembled in the little
telegraph hut erected on the beach
within a few yards of the shaft of
the borings connected with the pro-
posed channel tunnel-a gross and
material way of connecting the two
countries compared with the deli.
cate communication we were about
to establish.
Mr.. Bordeaux, the superinten-
dent Of the Sub Marine Telegraph
Company, at once established a
communication with the opposite
coast, and at his request, conveyed
by an ordinary pocket telegraph in
strument, the telephones were at
tached to the French end of the
cable, and in few minutes we were
con7ersing across twenty-five and a
half miles OF wire at the bottom Of
the sea. The portable instruments,
made in polished mahogony, and in
shape like champagne glass with
out foot, were used. By placing
one to the car, and speaking into
the cup of the other, continuous
conversation was kept up without
difficulty, Although the wires were
being used on the ordinary business
Of the station, and the clicl5ings OF
the Morse instruments being worked
at Dover and Calais were going all
the time, yet their voices could be
plainly heard and their tones dis.
tinguished.
The songs sung in that little wild
hut on the French coast were re.
produced, rote for note and word
for word, piano and forte, like the
distant murmurof Il shell--a small
far-off voice-in that in which we
stood. "Star of the Evening" and
".Auld Lang Syne" came rolling
across that rough and stormy chan.
mel, down which ships were stag
gering with shortened sails, and
through that tumbing surf, with.
out the loss of tone or a note.
Whistling was tried with equal sue.
cess, and the tunes were equslly
distinguished with the songs. il
was suggested that the popping Of
a cork might be made out, and our
French friends were asked to listen
at.entively to what would happen.
Unfortunately no bottles were at
hand, but a reverend gentleman
equal to the occasion put his finger
into his cheek and admirably imi-
tated the drawing OF cork. "You
have just drawn cork" came the
voice from the other side, with Just
a shade of melancholy in its tone.
A hearty laugh was raised by this
mistake.
After thanking our friends for
their songs and other efforts to
amuse an audience so far off, Mr..
Bordeaux gave a short lecture on
the construction of the instruments
and the party separated much i'm
pressed with the success of the ex-
periments and of the important
part it is likely to play in the COM
munications Of the future. AT
present it is utterly useless for mil
itary purposes, as the most perfect
stiffness is necessary not to drown
the little voice.

Captain Howgate has received a
letter from NJ. de Fonvielle, editor
Of lie Temps, Paris, announcing
that the central section of the Geo

French capital, has adopted resolu-

thor of q French work entitled the
"Drift of the Polsris," which has
had a large sale IN Paris, and is to
be brought out by lie Petit Moni-
teur, en- feuilletou. He is also an
expert at ballooning, having made
several voyages out of Paris and
back during the siege, and he be-
lieves with Captain HOwgate that
this means Of travelling can be made
of great service in Polar explora-

during the summer, to participate
in experiments in steering balloons
by the Clifford system. He writes
relative to this matter: eff the
