A Fiery Breath.
JUNIUS.

DIR. L. G. Woodman, of Paw Paw,
Mich, contributes the following in
teresting though incredible observa-
ton: have singular phenomenon
in the shape of young man living
here, that | have studied with much
interest, and l am satisfied that his
peculiar power demonstrates that
electricity is the nerve force beyond
dispute. His name is VIM. Under
wood, aged q years, and his gift is
that of generating fire through the
medium of his breath, assisted by
manipulationS with his hands. He
will take anybOdy's handkerchief,
and hold it to his mouth, rub it Wig
orously with his hands while breath
ing on it, and Immediately it bursts
into flames and burns until consum-
ed. He will strip, and rinse out his
mouth thoroughly, wash his hands,
and submit to the most rigid exami-
nation to preclude the possibility of
any humbug, and then by his breath
blown upon any paper or cloth, en-
velop it in flame. He will, when out
cunning and without matches, desi-
rous of fire, lie down after collect
ing dry leaves, and by breathing on
them start the fire and then coolly
take off his wet stockings and dry
them. 1t is impossible to persuade
him to do it more than twice in a
day, and the effort is attendant with
the most extreme exhaustion. He
will sink into chair after doing it,
and on one occasion, after he had
a newspaper on fire as narrated, l
placed my hand on his head and dis
covered his scalp to be violently
tWitching as if under intense excite
ment. He will do it any time, no
matter where he is, under any cir
cumstances. and / have repeatedly
known of his sitting back from the
dinner table, taking swallow of
water, and by blowing on his napkin,
at once set it on fire. He is ignorant,
and says that he first discovered his
strange power by inhaling and ex-
haling on a perfumed handkerchief
that suddenly burned while in his
hands. 1t is certainly no humbug,
but what is it? Does physiology give
a like instance, and if so, where p

cur early next month. RumOrs have
been circulated from time to time of
possible combinations by which the
Republicans would be defeated in
Kansas and Nebraska, and even in
Illinois and Minnesota, but Well-in-

reports. Revenue Commissioner
Raum has literary bureau here run

to Illinois papers to advance his cam
didacy for the seat of Judge Davis,
but from all [ can gather his labor

believed to be very good. The place
is too big for him. A prominent IL
linoisian informed me yesterday that
the general opinion seemed favorable
to Governor Cullom. He not only
has the heart of people of his State
to greatar extent than any other
candidate, but is in every way quail
fed for the position and entitled to
it. Cullom, said he, has made good
Governor, and is an honest, faithful
public servant in any station in which
he may be placed.

HindOO Ideas.

A HindOo has curious ideas as to
the married state. Here is a hus-
bands creed "A man, both day
and night, must keep his wife so
much in subsection that she by no
means be mistr, IS of her own actions.
If the wife have her own free will,
Notwithstanding she is of a superior
caste, she will go amiss. A woman
shall never 60 out of the house with
out the consent of her husband, and
shall act according to the orders of
her husband, and shall pay proper
respect to the Deity, her husbands
father, the spiritual guide and her
guests, and shall not eat until she has
served them with yictuaIs (if it is
medicine, she may take it before they
eat);a woman shall never go to a
strangers house, and shall not stand
at the door, and must never look out
of the window. fla woman, following
her own inclinatiOns, goes whittier.
soever she chooses. and does not re-
gard the words of her master, such
woman shall be turned away. If a
man goes on journey his wife shall
not divert herself by play, nor see
any public show, nor laugh, nor dress
herself with finejewels or fine clothes,
nor see dancing nor hear music, nor
sit at the window nor ride out, nor
behold anything choice or rare; but
shall fasten well the house door and
remain private and shall not eat any
dainty victuals, and shall not view
herself in mirror she shall never
exercise herself in any agreeable en-
ployment during the absence of her
husband"

Widely separate religions have
touched each other in Philadelphia.
A Baptist clergyman preached in a
synagogue. The rabbi, in introduce
ing him to the congregation, said that
by the Christians acceptance of the
invitation to address Jews, there was
no surrendering of opinion and no
compromise of belief on either side.
1--WE agree to disagree on certain
points," he said, "but there are many
more on which we agree to agree for
all time to come, and chief among
these is our love of country and hu-
mainly.

swers Senator Browns plain words
to Democrats with some plain words
to Senator Brown, in which it assures
him that he is wrong in intimating
that the masses of the Democratic
party are held together by the cohe-
sive power of public plumber. The
Register charges that Senator Brown
has presented the Democratic party
to the country as occupying the same
position on the spoils question which
Democrats have along alleged to be
the Republican point of view. But
on the other hand, the Augusta GA
Chronicle Dem. agrees with Senator
Brown in regarding the Pendleton

Day Of prayer for Temperance.

The General Assembly of the
United Presbyterian Church of North
America, lat its meeting in Monmouth,
Ill.,, May oath to June LIST, 1882, took
the following action with reference
to the appointment of day of pray
er in behalf of the Temperance cause:
"Res0tUed, That we cordially second
the request of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union of this city, in
reference to securing the assignment,
by the Evangelical Alliance in their
programme for the Week of Prayer,
OF one day to the subject of Temper
ance and re-atfirming the action of
the last assembly in reference to this
matter, we direct our principle clerk
to present this request to the ALI
ance. We further recommend that
in case of the refusal of this request
our clerk be authorized and directed
on the appearance of the programme
of the Alliance, to designate the day
on which this subject shall be con-
sidered, and TO give notice of such
designation through the papers of the
Church."
This action was forwarded to the
committee of the Evangelical AlIi-
ance, but in the programme for the
Week of Prayer no zone day or its
equivalent on different days." has
been assigned to the subject of Tenn
perance. The sin of Intemperance is
referred to only in connection with
many other sins, for which confession
should be made.
Therefore, by the authority and
direction of the General Assembly of
the United Presbyterian Church, l
designate Tuesday, January 9th,
1888, as the day of the Week ofPrayer
on which the cause of Temperance
shall be made the subject of confer
enee and prayer.

You'd this life to the spiritual and

be that he should see to it that good

wickedness its doom likewise. But

Ex-senator Wallace speaks up and
says that he favors civil service re-
form, provided it is Democratic civil
service reform, and not otherwise.
He wants his party first to get the
offices and then to reform the system
The present clamor on the subject he
thinks lacks sincerity. He sneers at
the claim that the demand now made
for reform is in response to any eleya-
ton of public morals, and believes
that its prominence is due to the
cunning with which it has been used
by leaders on both sides to keep them.

able, however, that Mr.. Wallace's
