Mrs. MahaIa E. Browne.

1t is our sad duty this morning to
chronicle the death of Mrs. Mahala E.
Browne, nee Roach, wife of our worthy
city marshal, j. B. Browne, which &C.
Cured at 8 o'clock yesterday morning
at their residence in Springfield, Of
dyphtheria, in the 30th year of her
age. The funeral will take place from
the residence at $50 this morning, and
the friends and acquaintance Of the
family are invited to attend.
From childhood this good Chris
tian woman has been a
moving spirit in Christ church, first in
the Sunday school, next in the choir
and last among the members of the
parish, and no young society woman
in Vicksburg was more popularity
know and respected than was Mrs.
Mahala E. Browne, first in charity, first
in her church requirement, and beloved
by all who knew her. 1t is the uni.
versal sentiment that but for the ma
lignant type of the disease with which
she died Christ church would be una
bic to hold her friends and admirers,
who would be attendant upon the OBJ
sequies. To her beloved family and
friends the G. H. extends coincidence.

MANKATo, MIMI. Oct. 1.-THE
facts Of the alleged case Of witchcraft

prominent citizens. are given by a cor.
respondent as follows; Mrs. John Solo.
nor has been sick for the past three
years. She was attended for the Hrst
two years by reputable physicians Of
good standing, but the present year
she hearing Of the witchcraft rem,
edy in Sw eden, wrote to parties there
and obtained information in reference
to it. She then sent a lock of hel
hair and a fragrant Of her clothing, as
requested, together with the amount
Of money called for by the witchcraft
doctor. In response thereto they re-
ceived the information that her sick
ness was brought on by the manipula-
lions of an old woman witch in the
community. The information was re-.
ceived by letter from Sweden, stating
that the old woman by whom Mrs.
Solomon had been bewitched, and who
had inflicted this sickness upon her,
was an old woman who frequently
came to their house. They concluded
that an aunt to both Mrs. Solomon
and her husband, named Mrs. johnson,
living in Hebron, Nicollet county, who
had frequently visited them, must be
the one. Mrs. Johnson is a woman of
responsibility. T~hereupon they began
to talk it publicly that Mrs. johnson
was the one who had bewitched Mrs.
Solomon and caused her long sickness.
THE wIToHCRAFT REMEDY.
They received further information
from the Witchcraft doctor in Sweden
that Mrs. Solomon could only be cured
by bringing the accused publicly be-
fore the sick woman, who must accuse
her and slap her In the mouth until
her mouth would bleed, and then Mrs.
Solomon would get well. Then the
Solomons made a complaint to the
preacher, Rev. A. Anderson,
who ordered Mrs. johnson brought up
for trial, which took place last Sunday
at the house of John Solomon in the
presence of his sick wife, the preacher
as judge and the deacons as a
jury. Mrs. Solomon testified that thir-
teen years ago, while riding in a wagon

was taken sick, Mrs. johnson was

A return to the war department of
the names of officers on the active list
WHO served in the war gives a striking
proof OF the extent to which our army
is now officered by men old enough for
active service over twenty years ago.
OF the total authorized force of 2, LIT
officers. 1852 served in the army be-
ore June 1, 1865. There is not man
above and including the rank of lieu
tenant colonel who did not, and 213
majors out of 235, 475 captains out
of GIT and 1914 out of 656 lieutenants.
Practically, if a war broke out now
and the army were expanded to q
force three or four times its size, 1t is
safe to say that every colonel and up
wards would be above forty years old
and would soon have to be replaced
by younger soldiers.

An intimate friend of the Grant fam.
lily makes the following statement:
Grant had 100000 worth of first
class railroad mortgage bonds, which
were the result of several operations
with prominent and wealthy friends
in New York. These securities he kept
in a box, which for safe keeping he
placed in vaults where Wards papers
and valuables were. When he came
down to the Office to get his box
the day after the failure, it was gone,
and the securities have never been
heard from. That day, Ward, in the
only interview he had with Grant af-
ter the failure, acknowledged that he
had taken the securities, sold them,
and made way with the money. This
is the reason Why Grant was so COM
pletely bankrupted.

The civil service principle is making
headway in the matter of elective ju-
dicial offices. The papers report nu-
m erous instances of nominations
made without regard to party con-
siderations. Nominations for judges
by political opponents have become
SO common that they are not men
toned as anything unusual. Some
credit is due to the lawyers, but more
to the people at large, who are quick
to understand and appreciate the ad-
vantages of securing the best legal tai
ent for the bench, without regard to
political affiliations.
