q MIRACLE IN INDIANA.
Cured by Prayer and MeIy Water after
Eight Years of Suffering.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 21.-Indiana has another
miracle to report An account from Lafayette
says that gnes Walter, a young lady residing
at No. 81 Spencer street, in that city, was YES
terday morning unable to move and was blind !;
now she walks and can see. Eight years ago
she was seized with cereb ro-spinal meningitis
which left her lower limbs paralyzed. She
had gone to Oldensburg, Ind, to enter a con-
vent, and was taken i'll the second day after
she had arrived In few weeks she was
taken home, and for eight years she has been
constant sufferer. The best physicians of the
day have treated her and pronounced her in
curable. DR.. s. L. Yount has been her ply
sician for three years. She was in convulsiohs
most OF the time, and these would continue as
long as two and three weeks Dr. Yount states
that she presented most terrible appearance.
For weeks at a time she had no nourishment
whatever. Recently young lady friend, Miss
Kinsman, returned from Europe and brought
with her some water from the fountain of our
Lady of Lourdes. This Miss Walter has been
applying and drinking. A nine days season
of prayer was begun by herself and other men,
bers of the church, This terminated yester-
day morning, when she was removed in an
unconscious condition to the church. She at
length vas revived, took communion, and in
stantly she could see and walk unaided. Size
believes that prayer did it. DIR. Yount and
others pronounce it most marvellous case
Last evening, when the doctor and reporters
called she walked across the room to show that
she was indeed cured. Her case seems mira
oulous, and there are many more besides her.
self who are familiar with the case who at
tribute it to the power of prayer.

Sample Butlerisms.


The manner in which his excellency over
looks the truth and states falsehood has long
been a subject of remark, but the failing is be-
coming more noticeable, and the departures
from truth grow wider and more ridiculous as
the canvass progresses. A list of the errors in
his speeches of Saturday would be very diff
cult to make, and we shall not attempt it; but
it may be interesting to look at few Of them to
show the ignorance or the mendacity Of the
man.
In his Holbrook speech he said: 1--WE have
lost our NAVIGATION. We have but two lines Of
steamships coming across the sea into Boston,
while more than thirty lines come into New
York, a fact which shows how commerce has
departed" IL his excellency will examine
the advertising columns of the Advertiser he
may there discover that, beside the occasional
steamships of other lines, there are at Boston
regular arrivals and departures of steamships
of the Cunard, Leyland, Warren, Allan and
Furness lines. On the other hand, he may
find it extremely difficult to discover thirty
transatlantic lines at New York. Moreover,
the Governor will doubtless be surprised to
learn that the total foreign commerce Of Bos-
ton never in any year exceeded Dy half q mil
lion dollars its value during the fiscal year
which expired last June; and that the imports
we're never before so large as they we're in that
year.
Error number two is so wildly funny that we
cannot help wondering what his excellency
means by it. "There are more spindles spin
ming cotton west of the Aleghanes than there
are east" Against this we offset the state
ments ~ that more than half the spindles
spinning cotton in the United States, accord
ing 80 the census of $780, were in the States OF
Massachusetts and Rhode Island; (2) that 80
per cent. Of all the spindles were in New Eng
land at the same time; 90 that New England,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mary
land and Delaware, contained 90 per cent. of
all the sDindles. and (4l that the State of
Maine alone had at the same time more
spindles than there were in all the other
twenty-seven States not enumerated, and the
ten Territories.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Oct. 22.-When the ac-
commodation train arrived at Utica yesterday
a middle aged man jumped from the train ano
asked if there was minister near the station.
Mr.. Wayne happened to be shaking hands with
Rev. Mr. Pettingil1. A few words passed, and
then both entered the car. 1t took less than
three minutes to make the traveller and lady
companion man and wife, The groom said his
name was Chapman, and that he was a widow
or from Ohio. The bride is 81, and came from
Northfeld. They were acquainted in their
younger days, and are now on their way to
Ohio. Mr., Chapman had three tickets, one of
which, he said, was for his new mother-in-law,
who was in the car.

ried. The officiating clergyman, Rev. E. r.
Jones. had an engagement in Pittsburg, and
his train being late in getting to Wheeling, he
was just in time to take the train for the
smoky city. The couple hung on to him, how
ever, and finally persuaded him to take ths
cars with them at Wheeling to proceed on his
way by way of this place, which he did. AS 1t
required a license to marry in West Virginia,
the party waited until they had passed over
the line into Pennsylvania. The ceremony
was performed in the postal car.

The Harvard Boat House Accident.


BosroN, Oct 22.-All those injured at the
boat-house accident were doing well at last
accounts. Mead is at his home CD Common
wealth avenue. His left leg is broken, but his
ankles currently reported broken, are all
right. He was badly iammed in the chest,
and hurt internally, also terribly bruised over
the right eye, but his people speak hopefully
of him. White is resting comfortably at his
college room. DR.. Wyman at first thought his
hip bone was broken, but such proves not to
be the case. The patient is very cheerful, but
is so lame that it is painful to move Allen is
doing we'll at his uncle's on Boylston street.
Aside from his broken arm he is all right.
Hamlin reached his home in Roxbury without
much trouble. His nose is badly bruised.
Curtis, it appears, went to his home in Boston
art is at home in South Boston, dong we'll.
Hardwick has gone home to Quincy. He
looked well and talked cheerfully and the
doctors think the injuries to his chest and
lungs not SO severe after all. Drake was found
to be very comfortable at his home on Ash
street last night His forehead is cut and his
back pains him, but his physician left him
yesterday morning with the comforting assut-
ance that he shouldn't need to come again.
The feeling of the college authorities with
regard to the accident cannot be learned.
President Eliot is out of town. Mr. Danforth,
the bursar, who has charge of the college
buildings, and Mr.. Knapp, the college carpen-
ter, both went to plymouth Saturday night
and stayed over Sunday. 1t appears that the
pile which supported the piazza had canted
out so much that only about two inches of the
beam supporting the floor timbers rested on
the pile, and that brace, but very weak
one, had been put in with the idea of strength
ening the affair. But the heavy weight of
Saturdays crowd easily bore down the rickety
support.

Last Friday night the Russian police at
Kertch made an attempt to arrest the chief of
a band of pirates whose lucrative exploits had
caused sort Of panic along the whole northern
coast Of the Black Sea. The chief pirate es-
capped, but evidence has fallen iuto the hands
Of the authorities disclosing the astonishing
fact that not only the great bulk of seafarine
population on the sea of Azof, including the
government pilots, are in active complicity
with the pirates, but that several OF their bold
est operations were directed by one of the high
est functionaries of the Crimea, and suspicion
even points to the completely of one OF the
consuls resident at Kertch. About twenty Cri-
mean merchants are also compromised in the
affair. The method usually adopted by the
pirates was to exhibit false signals, so as TO
lure vessels straight on to dangerous reefs OF
the Tapranian coast. The crews were then
left to perish on the rocks, or murdered after
the vessel had been pillaged and the pirates
had helped themselves to what they needed.
The carges we're transferred to other vessels,
placed at the disposal OF tho pirates by their
silent partners at Kertch and elsewhere, and
conveyed to Constantinople, Varna and Odeg-
sa, where they were sold in the open market.
