A VERY INSTRUCTIVE CASE.

The story of the Erie woman who deter
mined 10 test the prayer cure for spinal
complaint of several years standing, and
who at the time when she believed the
prayers to be going up for her rose out of
her bed and was able to walk, while in re-
atty no prayers had been offered at all, is
very instructive and suggestive. The ex.
tent of the influence that may be exerted
By the mind upon the body is very little
understood even now outside of the medi.
cal profession, but every physician knows
tina. mental conditions often have very
much more to do with physical cures
than therapeutics have. Indeed many
learned works have been written to
discuss this marvellous subject, and
some of the cases quoted are quite as ex-
traordinary as any to be found in the Acta
Sanctorum. In the Pennsylvania case it is
evident that the patient possessed very
powerful Imagination, and this was suffi-
cient for at least temporary cure, though
we must be permitted to doubt whether,
when she ascertains the truth, she will re-
tain the advantages she has gained. Be-
lief, however, when it reaches the point
of profound and absolute faith in some
healing or saving agency, is undoubtedly
capable of producing physical changes of
the most radical kind. 1t has often per-
picked the skeptic not acquainted with
this truth, to find how fully and respect
ably authenticated are many OF the cures
alleged to have taken place at the touch of
the Able de Paris, at the time of the so.
called Convulsionnaire excitement. Usu.
ally when the names of eminent physicians
and surgeons of the period are found ap-
pended to these statements, it is assumed
that the science of the time was too back
ward to preserve these gentlemen from gross
errors. But whoever has studied the infu.
ence of the mind upon the body knows
that it is really possible for long standing
diseases to be cured by simple faith. The
stigmata, or marks upon the body, which
have affected certain persons of highly
spiritual and rapt temperament, are
without doubt equally the products Of a
peculiarly fervid Imagination. 1t is
in fact quite impossible to set limits to the
possibilities in this connection. Thus in
well authenticated case mother saw
her little child suffer painful injury TO
his hand from the descent of window
sash upon it. And after the surgeon had
bound up the child's hand the mother s
attention was attracted to severe pain in
her own hand. 1t was examined, and to
her own amazement, as well as that of the
surgeon, the member bore all the marks
of precisely similar injury to that which
the. child had just suffered, and it was nee
essary to treat it in the same way. There
are many quite as singular cases in the
books, and therefore the possibility of such
a recovery as that related in our dispatches
yesterday need not be doubted, though it
is clear that prayer is by no means indis-
pensable to the occurrence OF such mira

present Conference arrangements is that

war which has to await the decision of

NO ACCOUNTING FOR TASTES,

Mr.. Tug Wilson, an English bruiser
champion, is apparently SO enraptured
with the tremendous pounding Sullivan
gave him the other day that he is deter.
mined to become an American citizen with
as little loss of time as possible. In a
glove-battle of four rounds, ne seems to
have been knocked down about forty times,
more or less, and this reception has en-
deared the country to him so greatly that
he speaks of it with absolute enthusiasm.
There is no accounting for tastes, of course,
but there are probably very few people
who would take Mr.. Tug Wilson's view of
the circumstances, much less appreciate the
influences which have impressed him so
preatly

New ORLEANS, July 19th.-The Picayune
says Several days ago Vice-President Vince

the last rail on the New Orleans ard Texas
Pacific Railway. completing the connection
from New Orleans TO San Francisco, would
was accomplished on the morning of July
18th, at point in the Atchsfalaya valley
beyond the river. The only break in the con-
tinuous lines of rail is at Atchafalaya, in
Louisiana, where the food which has pre-
vailed since February has retarded the bridge
at that place. However, there will be no
stoppage of trains, because a large ferry. boat,
constructed to transport cars, has been pro-
vided and at this moment the only real OBJ.
stacle to sending through trains is near the
Atchafslsya river, where the track is covered
with water, but only to limited extent. for
the floods have ale ldy abated several feet.
the railway company is now engaged in rails
ing this portion Of the track, and in two
weeks it is expected to be high and dry, and
solid enough for any traffic. Vice-President
Wheelock had been assured by General Su-
perintendent Hoxie, CT the Texas Pacific,
that he was prepared to send through to New
Orleans 300 cars of freight per day as soon as
the rails can take the trains, and Wheelock
will use every exertion 20 handle this great
traffic to the best advantage and with the
quickest possible dispatch. He said his COM
pauy will provide every appliance and fscil-
ity for doing their business in frst-class style.
