4 Splendid Scheme.

Says the Augusta Ercning News. The
Glide Combination, one Of the largest
and most powerful railroad syndicates Of
the day, is now engaged in developing a
plan which Will do more than anything
else to put its long lines of railroad on a
solid and self-sustaining basis.
1t is intended to settle thickly the lines
Of road now owned by the Clyde, and
thus not only develop the rich Southern
section of country but provide local
business in passengers and freight traffic
along the lines. The idea Is of course
good one, and to show that the author
tiles mean business, we learn that the
Clyde Combination already owns 100000
acres ofland along ita lines in Virginia
and the Carolinas, on which to settle the
Immigrants brought over. The plan :s
already formed and will soon be put in
operation.
The effect of such scheme is easy to
comprehend and foresec, and yet it is so
immense that the minds fails to grasp it
all at once. All kind Of business will be
assisted by such an addition of people.
The agricultural interests ofsuch sections
will be given a big lift, the merchants
will have larger orders, all professions
will be benefited and Of course passenger
travel and freight orders will be multi
piled world without end.
The Clyde Combination now own and
control nearly all the lines Of road south
of Richmond, in Virginia and the Caro-
linas, extending as far as Augusta and
Atlanta. The 100000 acres owned by
the syndicate are scattered along the
Richmond and Danville, Western North
Carolina; Charlotte, Columbia and Au-
gusta the Atlanta and Charlotte Airline,
and other Carolina roads,

Influence Of the Noon OIL Vegetation.

Miserable M0rmOns.

In Salt Lake City the Mormons hold
q prayer circle at the "altar of prayer''
in the Endowment House on all spe-
cial occasions. The leading priests and
elders lock arms, join hands and form cir
Gle arond the altar. The officiating high
priest joins the circle with his left hand,
and raises his right hand heavenward
and prays fervently. The Mormons say
that the electric current of prayer passes
from the circle through the high priest
up to the throne Of heaven, aud is tho
most powerful and effectual kind of
prayer and is sure to be answered.
President Garfield in his inaugural ad-
dress condemned the Mormon fallacy.
This aroused the indignation and hate
OF the Mormons, and, from that time, the
prayer circle has been constantly i'm
ploring the destruction of Garfield
When news of the assassination iirst
reached "Zon" there was Joy and salts
faction among the Mormons; their pray
ers were answeTodd, a5 they thought; bit
now that there is q chance for the Prosi-
dents recovery, they feel sorry, like the
assassin, and wish that another bullet
or two had been fred to finish the dread
full work. Ifthe President recovers there
will be JOY all over the United States
except among the AIormons. When
Abraham Lincoln was assassnated there
was time of great rejoicing in Salt Lake
City. The Saints" gathered and had n
time of rejoicing, singing praises and
| giving glory to God for the assassina-
ton.

A Sch0OlnlnSter's Promise.

correspondent Of the Germantown

his old schoolmaster, cold Haskins:"

The "Liver."

DIR. Bliss and his contemporaries who
have been trying to make the President
believe that if the bullet struck his liver
he will have close shave of it. know
very little about that organ, or else they
have entered into a conspiracy to scare
him to death. Right here in our State of
Michigan one can collect cartload of
afiidavits that mans liver is about the
mos: worthless organ in the human body,
and down in Indiana they won't have 'em
at all if they can help it, Our cores
pondent ut Lansing writes:
"Please let the President know
through your columns that in 1872 boy
fired big agate marble through my liver
from IL toy cannon. stuffed up the hole
with All old hat and after the third day
could attend to business as we'll as ever
The injury rather bluntcd my taste for
New Orleans molasses, but aside from
that have noticed no serious effects"
Our correspondent at Mackinaw sends
down tho following:
"The President need not be alarmed
about his liver. Last Fall my brother
got in the way of blast at Lake Su-
perior mine and stone weighing pound
was driven clear through him, carrying
portions of his liver over two hundred
feet. The doctors pronounced him
dead man, but in four weeks he was able
to play base ball, and has never had even
headache since. Ienclose you the stone
which knocked his liver out as proof of
my statements"
Our correspondent at st. Joseph
writes:
"In June last year | had colored man
named John Baker in my employ.
While driving q moving machine he fell
TO the ground and was badly cut up.
Among other wounds he had his liver cut
slick in two, and council of seven doc
tors decided that ho must die within two
hours. He is now we'll, healthy man,
chewing the strongest kind of plug tobac-
co and drinking whisky which kills or
dinary men stone dead at thirty-s il
rods"
OuT correspondent at Grand Haven
say. he knows an Indian who was ripped
open with buzz-saw and his liver flung
upon beam forty feet away. The doc.
tors sewed him up in such q hurry that
the lost organ was forgotten, but the red
man suffered no Inconvenience whatever.
On the contrary, he has never been in
such spirits. He can drink twice as
much whisky without getting tangled il
is much easier for him to swear he doe.

PrcmOnition Of q Dying Woman.

The Rev. d. 2. Lindsley of IA East

of last week. She had shortly before her
death four severe hemorrhages of the
lungs. Opiates were employed to relieve
her sufferings, and she often talked inco-
herently. On the night Of the third day
before the President was assassinated
was sitting by her bedside while she was
sleeping. She awoke, apparently
in some degree of excitement, and ex-
claimed:
"'Why, President Garfield is shot?'
" tried to calm her, and told her she
had probably been dreaming. When her
sister Annie took my place at the bedside
Mrs. Lindsey repeated the same thing to
her. Annie says Mrs. Lindsey said:

"'No,' replied Annie.

was there and saw it, continued Mrs.
Lindsey.
"You must have been dreaming,

"'No; 1 WAS there and saw it, This
she repeated several times, and added

On the third day after this occurrence,
when the news Of the assassination Of the
President was taken to the sick room.
Mrs. Lindsley did not appear surprised
but said: 81 knew it three days ago"
And then she repeated what she had
before related about what her conversa-
ton was with the ladies' During her
illness Mrs. Lindsey frequently aston
ished her attendants by her knowledge
oi what WAS going on in the house.
Once she asked for some chicken which
said was in tho back room, and which
she had neither seen nor heard Of
Another time she called for some candy
which had been brought into the house
without her knowledge. There were
other examples of her wonderful knowl

house, all Of which Mr. Lindsey 10 una
