MIRACLES IN THE WOODS.
A Virginia Doctor Who Should
Nioaopolize the Practice.

Scott county, Virginia, is in the ex-
treme southeastern portion oil the
State, and Is hemmed in on every side
by high mountains. IL is almost en-
tirely destitute OF roads, mills aud
schools, although il contains a lew
churches Nevertheless, this rude, re-
mote and almost unciyilized region has
produced a man who, il the newspapers
published in that section OF the State
are to be believed, has gifts that lift him
high above ordinary mortals His name
is Miller. The sick aud lame and blind
come to him and are cured OF their in
firmities. He gives no medicines and
charges no lee. Two citizens Of Salem,
one afflicted with total deaf
ness and the other with cancer
in the face. paid visit 10 this
natural doctor some days ago. The deaf
man came back with his hearing restor-
ell. The man with the cancer was en-
tircly relieved OF pain, and the synp-
toms which the doctor said would pre-
cede n perfect cure have set in. The Sa.
lem Register says that Philadelphlan
has offered the doctor l0000 to travel
with him a year, but he declined the
offer. and said that no amount Of money
could induce him 10 travel for q single
day. He says his power is from God.
All these stories seem Incredible. DIR.
Mcconnell, at present a member OF the
Virginia House OF Delegates from Scott
county, says that he sent an old wo-
man To this man, who had not been out
Of her room for twenty years, and could
not walk step. Her bed was put on q
wagon and she was taken to see Miller.
lie had no faith whatever in Miller's
alleged miraculous gift OF healing, but,
IN his utter establishment, the old woman
came back walking. A man with such
gift as this cannot long remain hidden
away in the mountains OF Southwestern
Virginia. Unless Miller is u fraud,
which il very probable, We will soon
hear something more about him.

last evening was remarkable speech by
Mr.. Beecher. He came out strongly for
Grant, and was willing to give him not
only third term, but also a fourth and
fifth. Edwards Pierrepont and others
also spoke warmly for Grant, and though
it was supposed to be a Lincoln celebra-
ton, there was much more Grant than
Lincoln about it.

A Long Reach by Telephone

On Sunday, the 18th inst, an attempt
was made to hold u conversation by tele-
phone between this city and ST. Louis,
distant four hundred and ten miles, which
only failed on account of Manager Durant,
of the ST. Louis exchange not coming to
time. At the time the weather was mag
nificent, and circumstances generally were
propitious for big test. 1t will be re-
membered that conversation was at that
time held between two stations eight
miles apart by wire, with one Of the talk
ers three hundred feet from the trans
mitter. On Sunday a second effort was
made by the Omaha telephone men, and
this time with perfect success. A battery
of five jars, Laclanche, was first put on,
and ST. Louis was called by telegraph, to
which they responded that they were all
ready and asked if they were all ready at
this end. A sighel was then agreed upon
on which the wire should be attached to
the telephone, and at a proper moment it
was done, and the usual greeting "Hello !"
was sent over the line, bringing back the
same expressive and signiflcent language
in reply.
els that you, France" 'tYes."
Chow do you get me2" Pretty we'll"
Who is talking? What battery have you
on3 and who is the officer were asked
and answered.
Although the conversation was under
stood, it was not distinct enough to suit,
and the battery was:changed and two Gel
magnifcently, Messrs. Korty and France
both holding q satisfactory talk with
Messrs. Durant and Benedict of st. Louis.
One Of the st. Louis men then sang the
Sweet BY and BY" in fine baritone
voice, and 1t was distinctly heard by the
Omaha boys who repeated it to st. Louis
assure them that it had come plainly.
Then France sang, ',Tm Pilgrim and
Pm Stranger" which was received with
applause by st. Louis. About this time
the st. Louis talker got his mouth too
close to the transmitter, and was prompt
ly told to stand back about six inches when
his voice became at once more audible.
The test was made over the wires of
the new American Union Company which
are uninterrupted between this point and
st. Louis, the line not yet being cut in
TO by any local Office, and no other wires
being on the poles. We are informed that
such feat would elsewhere, especially in
the East, be impossible, as the number of
wires elsewhere would be fatal
to the transmission of the human voice,
on account of the induction. The dis
tance to st. Louis is four hundred and
ten miles, the longest ever comprehended
in such test, and after Il two hours ex-
pertinent the boys returned to this city
highly elighted.-Omaha (Neb.) Rspubli-
can, jan 26th.

of delegates. Bradford, with her usual
liberality, takes delegate to the National
Convention and the elector, while under
the conditions of the alliance Wayne gets
the other delegate. The very slim honors

"A very good preparation of glyce-
rine to have always on hand can be
readily prepared by any apothecary or
druggist. In two ounces of sweet oil of
almond melt, by slow heat, half an
ounce of spermaceti, and one dram of
white wax. Then add one ounce of
good glycerine, stirring until cold.
When cold, scent it by stirring in well a
little oil of roses. Keep in small jars or
small wide-necked bottles. In hot
weather keep closely corked, as it some
times gets little rancid if long exposed
to warmth. Half or fourth of the
above quantities may be used. Every
drug store should keep a jar of it, and
recommend its use. 1t is excellent for
softening the skin, for most injured skin
surface that are not open sores; for
chafed places, for moistening corns or
callused feet or toes, and especially for
chapped face, lips or hands. When the
hands are chapped or cracked, or rough
ened by cold, wash them clean with
soap, and rub them well with this gly-
cerine ointment, wiping it off enough to
prevent soiling clothes. If this be done
at night the hands will be soft and in
good condition in the morning, except
when deeply cracked. 1t is very good
to apply to the hands after Sc washing
day."

He Stopped the Car.

William Beury and Captain II. w.
Morgan had occasion to go down to
Schuykin County on business last week,
and got off the Lehigh Valley passenger
train at Myersville. AS they were climb
ing the mountain at that point, they no.
ticed freight-car coming down the
railroad, without any brakeman on the
car. Captain Morgan took in the danger
of the situation at once, and knew if the
car was not captured it would collide
with train that was on the track below.
He therefore started down the mountain
caught hold of the side-bars and attempt
ed to mount one of the platforms SO as
to get at the brake, but the car was
going down grade and had gotten under
such Roadway that it was with difficulty
that the Captain was able to get on, and
he had to run some distance and then
bruised his knees badly before he was
able to swing himself around to jump on
the bumper. AS soon as he reached the
platform he applied the brake and
stopped the runaway car, which was left
standing until taken in charge by the
railroad employees. Where the car came
from, or how it happened to become
detached from the train, our informant
could not ascertain, but Captain Nor
gan certainly deserves the railroad COM
pany's thanks for risking his life in the
effort to capture the car. Had the car
not been stopped, a serious collision
would undoubtedly have occurred when
it met the train on the railroad track at
point down the line.-!Shanokin Pa.
