Cured by a Hand Touch.

Considerable interest and no little
perplexity has been created in York,
Pennsylvania. by the alleged miraculous
and instaneous cure of persons suppos-
ed to be beyond the reach of ordinary re.
medies. In some cases the patients have
been snatched almost from the jaws Of
death by the mere touch of a human
hand. To deny that these miracles
have been performed Is to dispute the
veracity of some of the most reliable
residents Of this city, who undoubtedly
believe all they affirm in connection
with the facts recited.
The most notable case, and the one
which has attracted the most notice by
reason of the prominence of the
patient, is that of Ex-Sheriff Peel.

the statements herein made IN refer

health.
On Monday OF last week, the gentle
man named, felt considerable pain. On
Tuesday he was confined to his bed
and summoned his family physician
who pronounced it severe case of in.
tercostal rheumatism. On Friday the
symptoms became so alarming in their
character that the physician asked Mr..
Feelings permission to call in another
doctor for consultation. To this the
patient feebly demurred saying that he
had sufficient faith to accept the ver-
dict of bis family physician without
confirmation from any other source
and that If his pain was incurabIe he
would resign himself to fate. On
Saturday morning his condition was
even more serious and his friends des-
paired of his recovery. The physician
called, but gave no encouragement to
the sufferer or his family. In very
short time, probably couple of hours
after the doctors departure, Mr.. Peel.

81 Sail Sleep Wiv Him To-
night"

Sometimes believe the little ones
say the best things after all. l know a
little family in Detroit who are heart
broken and sad this Saturday night.
There were three last Saturday, but to-
day only two are left. The tie that
bound them more closely than which
the clergyman drew has lately been
loosened, and the light of their lives
went out only the other day.
The father Is a railroad man. whose
duties call him away from home near
ly three-fourths of the time. 1t was
his habit, when about TO start for home.
TO telegraph his wife. apprising her of
the fact. In these kilograms he never
failed TO mention the name Of the 1T
tie four-year.old, and the dispatches
usually ran AS follows:
"Tell Arthur l will sleep with him
tonight"
The baby-boy was proud of the teIe.
grams. which his mother would read
over TO him, and he considered the
"teledraf" u great institution. The
other night. when the fever had done
its work. and the mother was sobbing
out her anguish, the little one turned
calmly in his bed and said:
Don't ky, mamma; is all s'eep wiv
Dod, 90 know. Send bod a teledraf, and
tell HIM sail s'eep wiv him tonight.
But the message went straight up
there without the clicking of wires OF
the rustling of wings.

THO NEGROES LYNCHED.

Thrown Into the River.


Two negroes, Charles Smith and Henry
Davis, charged with burglary, were lynched
near Clayton, y. c., on Wednesday morn
ing. The men were captured in that city
last week. The police ascertained that Smith
was the man who entered TIE store of Barnes
Il Hinton in Clayton on Thank sgiving day
and robbed it of much valuable property, and
then nearly killed George Cabell, a clerk,
who pursued him. The crime remained a
mystery until Monday. Both men were
taken to Clayton for trial Smith swOre that
Davis was an accomplice in the crime, and
this was the only evidence against Davis.
The men were ordered to he taken to Smith
field Jail on Wednesday morning. They
were kept AT Clayton on Tuesday night in
charge of two guards. just before daylight
a party of masked men sprang out of the
darkness, and, levelling revolvers at the
heads of the guards, demanded the prisoners
and took them 1t has since been ascertained
that the masked men placed the prisoners
on horses and rode straight to Neuise river,
three miles distant. There, according to the
testimony of an eyewitness at the county

Orr /" Manifest Destiny"

The Development of closer international
relation between the United States and
other nations of North America, especially
the chain If Central American states, in
cites ideas of territorial annexation and re-
wives in many yenturesome hearts the old
notions of our manifest destiny This
spirit is betokened especially in the South,
where the idea of acquiring Mexico, Cuba
or other neighboring southern territory has
always been favorite one, aud has eX-
cited the ardor of military spirit that is
full of yalor and energy. In connection
with the Cuban and Nicauraugan treaties,
the Americo-Meyican railway enterprises,
and the display which these states are max
ing at the New Orleans exposition, il is
quite natural that there should be revival
of the annexation sentiment.
1t Is not so plain that there is such sound
ness in the sentiment as tocommend to the
better Judgment of thoughtful people. The
wonderful resources Of some of our South
ern neighbors are well established in fact
their tardy development and the soth of
those who now control them is true, but
our own extent of territory is so vast, pro-
portioned to the population scattered over
il, that for century 10 come its develop
nent will be problem of sufficient i'm
portance to engage all the attention of the
American people. We have great race
questions to work out, and grave matters
of internal polity to determine, that require
the highest order of craftsmanship and the
best popular intelligence to wisely solve.
Our century of marvellous progress we
owe in a great measure to the freedom
from international relations and foreign
entanglements that we have enjoyed but
we need such repose far more in the future
than we have needed in the past

LANCASTER. DECEMBER %, 1884.
The Fortune Of Grant.

General Grant is fortunate in having a
great many friends to hold out to him
helping hand in adversely. He is fortu-
nate, too, in his creditors. The richest man
in the country happens to be one of them
who forgives him two-thirds of his debt.
General Sherman, who took in the COM
Portable place and salary that Grant left to
become president, feels impelled to lend
his kind offices to free his old commander
from his embarrassment. Mr.. DreXel and
Mr.. Childs, who have before bled freely to
make Grant happy. are the ready aids of
Sherman in his work. With all the assist
ance that comes to him in his effort, it
seems not doubtful that General sherman
will easily succeed in his endeavor.
We trust that he will. We would that all
unhappy men should be made happy
and if some General Sherman would
spring forward to the relief of every man
in the nation who is suffering to-day from
pecuniary embarrassment, it would he a
very lovely thing, and there would be such
a stirring up of the people and such an
opening of pocketbooks as has not been
seen since the world began.
General Grant, probably is generally
thought to occupy an exceptional position
in appealing to tie generosity of the
wealthy people of the United States and
doubtless he does, as an ex-president and
an ex-general of their armies.
His position is exceptional, also, however,
in the fact that he now enjoys the income
of fund of s250, 0,0O0-we believe-that is
beyond the seizure of his creditors with
that he ought TO be able to keep the wolf
from his door, and have something over with
which to buy in the swords and trophies,
which it is agonizing the souls of his
friends. to think are exposed to the
possibility of sheriff's sale.
General Grant position is peculiar too,
in that he has been brought into his
present distress by his entirely unwarrant-
able reliance on the representations OF
another. His sons partner, Mr.. Ward told
him that he wanted him to get Mr.. Van.
derbilt's check in exchange for his own, to
save the Marine Bank from embarrass,
ment. General Grant ought to have been
wiser than to have believed this and done
unwise, and indeed very simple, that
General Grant is in trouble.
This trait of extreme simplicity seems to
be very marked characteristic of Grant 5
family. A simpler young man than Ulysses
Grant, jr., Wards partner, probably never
undertook to help in the padding of a bu-
siness canoe. We edon not think there is any
doubt that the whole family needs to be
relieved from the necessity of this sort OF
eyertion; and we rejoice that the energies
of the amiable gentlemen who have taken
the matter in hand will.be successful; only.
rs we have limited, if they could be per-
suaded to continue their efforts for little
while after Grant is provided for, in aid of
a soup fund for the penniless, there could
be no question about the merit of their
effort.

THE United States Senate has II goodly
quantity of very light Republican timber,
but there are few sticks that weigh less than
George Frisbie Hoar. who misrepresents the
state of Massachusetts,. He and Mr.. Blaine
seem to be the only prominent Republicans
who cannot forgive the country for the elec-
ton of Democratic administration. Wheth-
er they believe what they say or not, they
insist that Democratic intimidation of the
negro in the South alone made Democratic
success possible. And this in spite of every
evidence that the contrary was true. Mr..
Hoar shows his narrowmindedness and his
lack of appreciation of the responsibility Civ
en- his utterances by his high official place 10y

in Boston: "How can man who knows that
if the law and the constitution had their way

would be inaugurated ON the 18th of neXt

of power to the suppression of rights in the
South--how can such man say he is pledged
TO the endorsements ofthose rights? We had
a great deal to contend against in the late

prejudices without the mitigation of which
the negro can never be restored to his rights. y
