SPIRIT LIFE.
A Belief Common to ALI Faiths, Tongues
and Peoples-fhe Scottish Gift Of
Second Sight.
The Mysterious Raps at the EpwOrth
Rectory that Gave the Wesley Family
SO Much Trouble.

Ia view of the ghost stories which have
recently found publication in the APPEAL a.
we'll as other leading newspapers, the New
buryport (Mass.) Valley VisitOr reyives a
great many facts as 10 Spiritualism.
All religions begin in mystery, and they
leave off in mystery. 1t is necessarily 50 /;
Dc man can tell where he came from or
whittier be is going. "Where did you come
from, baby dear?" "Out of nothing into
here" The baby's answer is as good and
wise as can be given. No one can cay that
be has or has not passed through one or a
thousand worlds before reaching this. All
that we can say is for ourself-we don't
remember any other. But that ia no answer
for anybody else, for some people say they
do remember a previous existence. This
faith prevails among the Gypsies- an
Oriental people of whose origin we know
little. but who for cent uries have remained
among and distinct from Europeans. So in
looking forward, while We can believe in
the past and future, we see nothing OF any
other state or condition. But 1t ia no I'M
common thing for, other people TO see-Io
have a second sight," and this is especially
the case with the Scotch.

Pen-Picture of McMinnville for
November, 1881,

On any frosty morning in the month
of November, 1881, except the Sab
bath, the following lite,picture of Nc.
Minnville might have been taken in by
any early riser on Main street near the
Warren House and STANDARD Office /:
AT the dawn of gray morn in the east,
when the frosty air and previous silence
conspired to render sounds distinct, the
first rumbling noise that dared break
the empire Of stiffness was caused by
Doty's coal wagon in the distance rap
idly approaching the eastern mountains
in search of coal. Next came Mad
dux's beef wagon, whose approach was
heralded by the sound of a bell whose
notes have rung out in familiar tones
to the lovers of good steak, an epicu.
rean feast, for twenty years or more.
This was the signal for the beginning
of general scene of activity on the
streets, which continued through the
day and till late hour at night. Al

An Explanation.

Considerable discussions have been
caused by the frequent notices of Nc
Elree's Wine of Cardui or Woman's
Relief, the Chattanooga Medicine Com
pany, who manufacture and control the
remedy, desire to say that it is not
claimed that the Wine will cure per-
manently diseased or deformed organs.
1t corrects arrangements and relieves
those terrible pains in the head, back
and other parts of the body, to which
so many ladies are subject. 1t also cor
reefs irregular, suppressed or too fire.
quent monthly habit, but it will not
cure ulcers or diseases requiring sur.
gical operation. 1t is not recommen.
ded for such cases, though it is frequent
ly beneficial, and in no case in any way
harmful. In all cases where there are
pains it is best to give the Wine a trial,
as the cost ola bottle is trifing, and
you may have been deceived as to the
cause of the trouble. The astonishing
success of the remedy leads many to ex-
pect more of it than is claimed, and,
therefore, this explanation is made.
Let every lady who has the slightest
arrangement send to the nearest drug
store and get 81 90 bottle of McElree's
Wine of Cardui and try its efficacy.

KNOXVILLE, Oct. 10. II A. MA
shooting ARRAY has just occurred on Gay
str eet, in which Joseph Mabry, ST.,
Joseph Mabry, Jr., and Maj. Thomas
O'Conner were killed instantly.
FULL PARTICULARS.
KNOXVILLE, Oct. 19-This morning
few minutes after 10 o'clock, Gen.
Joseph A. Mabry, Maj. Thomas O'COn-
ner and Joseph A. Mabry, Jr., were
killed in shooting affray. The diff
Guilty began yesterday afternoon by
Gen. Mabry attacking Maj. O'Conner
and threatening to kill him, This was
at the Fair Ground, and O'Conner told
Mabry that it was not the place to set
tie their difference. Mabry then told
OConner that he should not live. 1t
seems that Mabry was armedan OCon-
ner was not. The cause of the DIFF
fculty was an old feud about the trans
fer of some property from Mabry to o.
Conner. Late in the afternoon, Mabry
sent word to OConner that he would
shoot him on sight. This morning Maj.
OConner was standing in the door
of the Mechanics National Bank, of
which he was the President. Gen. Ma.
bry and another gentlem i walked
down street, on the opposite side from
the bank. OConner stepped into the
bank, got a shotgun, took deliberate
aim at Gen. Mabry and fired,
MABRY FELL DEAD,
being shot in the left side. AS he fell
O'Conner fired again, the shot taking
effect in Mabry's thigh. OConner then
reached into the bank and got another
shotgun. About this time, Joseph A.
Mabry, Jr., son of Gen. Mabry, came
rushing down the street, unseen by
OConner until within forty feet, when
young Mabry fired pistol, the shot
taking effect in
o'CoNNERs RIGHT BREAST,
passing through his body near the heart
The instant Mabry shot, O'Conner
turned and fired, the load taking effect
in young Mabry's right breast and side.
Young Mabry fell, pierced with twen-
ty buckshot, and almost instantly
OConner fell dead without struggle
Young Mabry tried to rise but fell
back dead. The whole tragedy occur
red within two minutes, and neither of
the three spoke after he was shot.
Gen. Mabry had about thirty buckshot
in his body. A bystander was painful
ly wounded in the thigh with buck
shot, and another was wounded in the
arm. Four other men had their clothes
pierced by buckshot.
The affair caused great excitement
and Gay street is thronged with thous-
ands of people. Gen. Mabry and his
son Joe were acquitted only few days
ago of the murder of Moses Lusby and
Dan Lusby, father and son, whom
they killed few weeks ago. Will
Mabry was killed by Dan Lusbv last
Christmas.
Maj. OConner was President of the
Mechanics National Bank here and
was the wealthiest man in the State.
