Another Faith Cure-The Case of Mrs
Wei,ver, of Knightstown.

Another Faith Cure-The Case of Mrs.
Weaver, of Knightstown.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
KNIGHTsTowN, Feb. 25-In December last
there occurred wonderful instance of cure
by prayer in this city, which, at the time,
attracted marked degree of attention and
much discussion among scientists and in re-
ligious circles. 1t was the instantaneous
cure of the wife of Rev. Amos Kenworthy,
a minister of the Society of Friends. who
was restored TO health after years of suffer
ing with spinal affection, in response to a
short prayer of her own.
On Friday night occurred a yet
more remarkable instance of super
natural power-the cure of Mrs. Walter
S. Weaver by the laying on of hands
a cure by faith. Mrs. Weaver had been suf-
fering since last May with a severe ailment
peculiar to females, which had been con-
stantly growing worse and deied the skill of
the best physicians of the town. This
disease had induced such prostration of the
nervous system that she was unable to go
about, and suffered untold misery 1t was
not believed she could live through the win
tel. vi last IIludN night MI weaver came
home from attending revival at the NJ. e.
Church, and found his wife in bed, endur-
ing the most circulating agony. So pain
full was the disease that she could not endure
the weight of the bed clothes which rested
upon her body. When he found
her so sick the thought occurred
TO him that he could heal
her. He describes it more as a command
from some invisible power than anything
else he could liken it to. He laid his hands
upon her body where the pain was greatest,
and Immediately she was relieved, except a
slight pain in another part; but as soon as he
touched that the pain left it. She went to
sleep, slept soundly, got up sound and well
next morning, and has felt not the slightest
return of the malady. Mr. Weaver is a lead
ing jeweler OF this city, and both he and his
wife are people of the strictest integrity.

The Protection FaIIacy.
Cor. Chicago Trih,1ne


propose simply to put the whole
subject in the. shape of a conundrum
and ask some of your protectionist read
ers (if any such are left) to answer it
squarely.
The only pretended justification of
protective tariff is that American labor
may receive increased remuneration
thereby. Dispel this deep-seated falla-
cy and it would not last year. | be-
lieve it is admitted by every writer OF
every school Of political economy, from
Adam Smith down, that all wealth is
the product of labor, and that is the
only source of wealth.
Now, if this is SO, and this country con-
sumes, say 81 1,000,00O000 worth of the
products of the protected industries,
and pays for them, say 40 per cent. or
s,4O0, 100000 more than they. could be-
bought for from any other source, who
foOts the bill?
y In other words, as the labor of the
country produces all the wealth we
have. does not that same labor have to
stand the enormous tax, and how is it
COMPENSATED therefor
St. Landry democrat., 1883-04-07

experiments, formed the opinion that
no risk of fire from Illuminating gas ex-
lists SO long as the. gas forms less than
five per cent of the atmosphere Of a Civ
en- space but between five and twelve
per cent it begins to be ignitable, and
when it reaches twenty-nine per cent
the liability to explosion is great. A
delicate apparatus used by Prof. Than
causes an electric bell to ring if gas is
present even though the quantity be
no more than one half of one per cent.
Another ingenious arrangement shows
the actual percentage quantity Of the
gas, while q control ol-manometer'' re-
veals the place from which the gas es-
capped.
While bees are popularity supposed to
be affected by sounds, Sir John Lub-
books researches seem to show that
these insects have no power of hearing
ordinary noises. If they hear at all they
probably distinguish the higher over
tones at the verge of or beyond our
range Of hearing instead Of low, loud
sounds.
Prof. Fleeming Jenkin remarks that
it is generally supposed that electricity
will supersede steam; but what has
thus far happened is that the work of
the engines is employed to produce
electricity, while electricity affords us
the best means yet discovered for dis
tributing power. ),
The total eclipse of May 9th will con-

Tit For Tat.
[Chieago Express, ;,

Railroad Corporation-Mr. Farmer, /
shall have to appropriate about ten
acres of your farm for right of way to
locate and run my road upon, for which
| will allow you what it cost you and a
| fair per cent. on your investment.
Farmer-But, sir, can't take that
sum. Land is worth double the origi-
nal cost and interest. / must have my
price. or cannot allow you to appro-
pirate it.
r. r. C-All right; there is way to
get it. ! shall apply to the government
to exercise the right to eminent domain
and it will condemn your private prop
erty to public use, and it, not you, will
| fix the price.
Farmer-Then may have to yield,
but will see you again.
The land is condemned, the railroad
company appropriates it, all costs are
thrown upon the farmer, and he gets
about half price for his ten acres. A
year passes the parties meet again.
Farmer-Mr. Railroad Corporation.
shall have to appropriate about ten
of your freight cars to haul my grain,
hogs and cattle to market, for which
Twill pay you the cost of transporta-
ton and fair interest on your actual
investment.
r. r. C.-Why bless your granger
soul, we can't do business that way.
We shall have to charge you what the
traffic will bear, and our rates are estab-
llished. You must pay our price or haul
your products to market with your
team.
+ Farmer-All right. There is a way
to make you transport my property at
fair rates. | will see that legislation is
had to compel you to do it. +
| +. R. C.-No, you can't intefere with
"vested rights nor can you compel a
man to sell, or hire the use Of his pri-
vate property for any price less than he
chooses to ask. Can the law set a price
upon your products, your labor, or your
farm Bj al
Farmer.-Is your railroad private
property
r. r. C.-Of course it is it is our own
private enterprise as much as farming
is yours, and we have as good a right to
charge all we can get for service, as you
have for corn or pork.
Farmer-Very well then !; let us see.
Transportation of persons and property
is public necessity, and your franchise
was granted for public use. Admit that
the cars, the locomotive and the rail are
private property. propose to ask the
government to exercise its right of en-
inent domain and in the exercise of
that right to condemn your private
property to the public use of transpor-
tation, and it, and not you, shall set the
price for such use, 1t is d poor rule
that works one way. @

raj importance have been substantated by tho
experiments.
First. 1t has proved that oysters may be
grown in inclosod ponds.
Second IL has proved that an abundance
Of food will generate in such Enclosures.
Third. IL has proved that we can depend
upon tho tide to renew the waters Of such
ponds.
Fourth. 1t has been shown that tho cost
Of digging out ponds ON an extensive scale
would be comparatively inexpensive under
taking, because no digging is required except
such as can be done with q spade. The nature
Of the salt marsh is such that IL can be cut
into any shape desired; tho black muck of the
marsh being interpenetrated with great num-
bers of roots and docayed fibers of vegetable
matter which render it tough, so that IL can
be cut out in solid blocks. About the depth of
what would be taken by three superimposed
spadesful Is q sufficient excavation for the
purposes Of pond culture In many places
There are thousands of acres along the
eastern coast of the United States of salt
marsh lands which are available for pond cul-
ture besides the ground already occupied of
shore; so that the development of the in
dustry seems to be practically unlimited
| Wherever the water is fresh enough TO grow
oysters, and where such marsh lands also
exist, the construction of ponds for oyster
culture is feasible on just as grand o scale as
is now practiced on some parts of the coast Of
| France.

Reducing tho Land Oaices.

Mr.. Mcfarland, commissioner of the gen.
eral land office, is gradually reducing the
number of land offices as the opportunity
arises. Recently he consolidated the two
land offices in Dakota having found that tho
work could all be done without detriment to
the public service by one office. He will
shortly recommend the adjustment Of the
Office in that state, all the offices formerly ex-
isting having been consolidated in this one
Mr.. Mcfarland thinks that the public land
business Of the state is not now sufficient to
call for tho maintenance of even this Office
and will recommend that it be abolished and
tho work transferred to the general land
office. He is considering tho advisability of
making similar recommendations with respect
to one or two other offices, which he does not
for the present specify,
