4 Miraculous Cure.

LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, March 5.-On
yesterday morning young lady NAM
ed Mary Kittel, who, seven years ago,
was converted to the Roman Catholic
faith, was suddenly cured while at the
commune l-table in the Cathedral of
the Immaculate Conception. She fell
down a flight of stairs October, and be-
came paralyzed in her left leg. She
began the nine prayers before Lent
nine days ego. and on going to the
communicable had to use crutches.
After the usual prayers she says she
implored the Virgin Mary to intercede
for her. When she started to go away
she forgot her crutches, and went away
without them, apparently as well as
ever. She was interviewed to-day, and
saws the cure is undoubtedly a mira
Gle. She is very respectable young
lady. The affair causes considerable

The Future Life.
Boston Journal q Chemistry.

Years ago, in the days of Bishop
Butler, very much stress was laid upon
the analogies in nature illustrating and
supporting the idea of a future life.
and the treatises then written were
models of intellectual power and pa
tient research. A great impression was
produced, not only upon uneducated
but educated minds Since that period
science has progressed with gigantic
strides, and at every step has so largely
added to the list of striking analogies
or incidental proofs that the iilustra-
tions OF early dates seem few in num-
Der and dwarfed in proportion and
force. The idea Of an unseen inmate
rial existence also involves the idea of
unseen activities, and correspondence
in the rayless realm. The most stolid
of us cannot fail to be impressed with
the beautiful analogies which recent
scientific discovery affords. Do we rot
every day converse with unseen friends
long distance away? Do we not recog-

HOPE AGAIN DEFERRED.
six Thousand More Days to Serve in
Auburn Prison.

Four years ago last week a French
man, formerly a professor of languages
was sentenced from New York City to
Auburn prison for selling obscene lit
erature and fancy pictures. His
sentence was s'four yeass imprisonment
in state prison at hard labor and a fine
of $4,000. In the event of the fine not
being paid at the expiration of the term
of Imprisonment, the prisoner to serve
a day for every dollar until the fine Is
paid" His term of four years was up
last week, and the professor was said to
be feeling quite elated at the prospect
of his being speadily released. Gov.
Cornell has been asked to interfere in
his behalf and favorable answer was
expected. The governor, however, sent
to New York for circumstances Of the
case and the evidence at the trial, and
sent back word that he could see no
reason why the letter ofthe law should
not be carried out, and consequently
the professor is now serving his 600
DAYS, or another term of about seven
teen years.
When the poor chap had heard the
reply of the governor he took on terri
bly, and seemed to loose hope entirely
He had fondly hoped thai some of his
friends would come forward and pay
his fine but they failed to do so and, as a
last resort, had appealed to the gov
ernor, but in vain.
The professor is a prepossessing look
ing man, of perhaps 40 years and is
said to use elegant language, and to be
perfectly familiar with six or eight
different languages. Verify, "hope
deferred maketh the heart sick.

RACING DOWN A. MOUNTAIN.
Thrilling Episode on New Mexico
Railway Train.
From the Las Vegas q. NJ Optic.

From the Las Vegas On. NJ Optic.
The most hair-raising episode that
ever happened to New Mexican noun
tain railway train fell to the lot of Con-
ductor Blessingham Thursday after
noon at ) o clock, on the west slope of
Glorietta summit The train compris-
ed nearly thirty carss, and as it enter
ed upon the descent Jake Brown, the
engineer, threw on the water-brake,
but found that it was broken and would
not work. The train gained momen-
tum to such frightful extent that the
switch cables and hooks lying on the
pilot base in front were hurled from
their places in the air. breaking the
locomotives guard rails. Brown called
for brakes, but the train men had al
ready set every one and realized that
the train was beyond their control.
Seeing that nothing could be done to
stop the mad course the train was run
ming, Brown jumped the cab while go
ing at the frightful rate of sixty miles
an hour and landed seventy-two feet
distant, actual measurement.
Blessingham, who was on the ca
boOse, with Pawnee Charley and wife
as passengers. fearing that the train was
going to destruction, cut his way car
loose ard checked it with the brakes,
white the train continued its velocity
down the long grade. The fireman
stood at his post like hero. and while
the engine was plunging down the
flight at a giddy speed, he crawled out
on the footboard and poked sand
through the sand box, thinking that it
might assist the wheels in getting grip
UPON the rails.
AS the train sped around Material
curve, which is 'short and Steep" the
velocity was so great that the locomo-
I tive ran on one rail and overbalanced
/ SO greatly that it came within an ace
/ of losing It's equilibrium. The brake
men on deck were obliged to lie fiat
ard cling to the running-boards for
/ safety For six miles those badly
/ frightened men stuck to the ship and
/ faced the horrors of death. Below
Conoeito is natural basin with three
miles of level track, and it was on this
stretch the runaway train was mastered
i and stopped Some of the cars were
/ laden with iron for the front, but they
were unloaded before the train stopped
/ by the material being hurled in all di.
I restions. Just how the train held to
the rails as well as it did is a mystery.

When a young child or infant dies,
the baby, after being cleansed, is array
ed in the finest garments, and placed

it, and a crown upon its head; above
is hung dove, and the entire surround
ings adorned with flowers and ribbons.
A guitarist is provided, who f'om his
seat in front chants and sings airs, gen
orally of laudatory and lamenting
nature, for the loss OF the child; but
as the poncha, or drink, begins to make
itself felt upon the friends who have
gathered round, it then becomes a scene
of mirth and gladness that the child is
now an angelic" Tor little angel. J
This generally continues for several
days, until the body gives forth any

at the present day is more general
among the lower classes, for, although
it exists among the rich, there is moth
