On Thursday, in talking with a
brother to Hattie Stanley, the girl
who married the one-eyed Indian, he
informed us that he saw his sister on
Sunday, aud that he thought she
would gladly return home, if she was
not afraid to do so. The foolish girl
has had all her romantic ideas, about
life in wigwanl with a Indian lover,
dispelled by this time.

A MYSTERIOUS HEALING.
Wonderful Experience of a San Fran
cisco Stock Broker.

San Francisco Chronicle.l
Minor S. Martin, a member of the
Pacific stock exchange, and one of the
oldest and best known brokers in the
State, has recently recovered from an
attack of sciatica, or rheumatism of
the hip joint, the cure having been
effected in a very remarkable manner.
1t was the third attack of the same
disease, all of which have been re-
moved in the same manner In 1873
he was first stricken down, becoming
a raving maniac from the intense pain
to which he was subjected, and the
physician in charge. could give no hope
of recovery. A friend, however. in
PRODUCED a gentleman who had, or
claimed to have, a healing touch for
certain classes of diseases, Mr., Mar
tin was lifted to his feet and held
while the gentleman lightly stroked
the afflicted parts outside the patient
clothes. The effects Of the treatment
were at once apparent, Pain at once
disappeared, and in five minutes the
patient walked about the room to the
amazement of himself and friends. In
obedience to commands, he put on his
boots, walked down two flights of
stairs, around the block, and returned
to his room. He was then put to bed
and told that in forty-six hours the
af1iction would return. 1t did so, aud
was again removed. Two years later
Mr., Martin suffered another attack of
the disease, which was removed in the
same way. Not long since he was
again attacked, but the healer had in
the meantime disappeared, and no
trace Of him could be obtained, He
suffered intense pain, and could obtain
no relief from the physicians until the
mysterious healer appeared one day at
his door. He had been in Washing
ton Territory, and felt an %unaccOunt.
able and irresistible impulse to come
to Mr.. Martin, whom he had not heard
of for months. He obeyed the i'm
pulse, came and cured Mr.. Martin
thoroughly, assuring him that he would
be attacked no more. The gentleman
possessing this wonderful power--for
the story is yopched for by citizens
whose truth is above question-offers
no explanation Of it. lie is not a
Spiritgalist, nor are any of those con-
nected with the case. lie is subjected
to impulses Tor which he cannot qo-
count, an illustration Of which is found
in his last visit to Mr.. Martin. The
story is a strange one, but of its truth
there can be no doubt.
