CURES BY PRAYER.-The efficiency of
faith and prayer as cure for disease is no
longer doubted in the town of Milford, OF
sego county, N. Y. The cures are wrought
through the nstrumentalty of Miss Alice
Benjamin, daughter of cabinet-maker in
that town. For ten years Miss Benjamin
had suffered from spinal difficulty. She
was bedridden and had been given up by
physicians. A few months ago, being o
member of the Baptist Church, she made up
her mind to try the prayer cure. She prayed
increasingly several days and nights, and to
the astonshment of all she arose and has
been in good health since. She has since
visited the sick and applied the prayer cure
with success in the following cnses Mrs.
Fanny Cook was in the last stages of con-
sumption Soon after Miss Benjamin and
she began to pray Mrs. Cook began to i'm
prove, and now has her place again in the
village choir. Mrs Gertrude Marcy, who
resides near Morris, brought with her from
Hudson few years ago crippled child,
her ankles being twisted so she could not
walk. Miss Benjamin took her case in hand
and the girl was soon running about with
other children.

LINCOLN AND HooKER.--The day after
Hooker's promotion TO the command of the
Army of the Potomac, President Lincoln
wrote confidential letter to MajorGen.
Hooker, which is probably the strangest
production ever written under like circum-
stances. 1t commences: II have placed you
at tho head of the Army of the Potomac
Of course | have done this upon what ap.
pears to me to be sufficient reasons, and yet
think it best for you to know that there
are some things in regard to which am not
quite satisfied with you. | believe you to
be brave and skillfu! soldier, which OF
course like. also believe you do not mix
politics with you profession, in which you
are right" After enumerating the Generals
good qualities, the President says: But
| think that during Gen Burnsides command
of the army you have taken counsel of your
ambition, and thwarted him as much as you
| could, in which you did great wrong to
the country and to most meritorious and
honorable brother officer ] have heard, in
such way as to believe it, of your recently
saying that both the army ami the govern
ment needed dictator. OF course it was
not for this, but in spite Of it that have
given YOU the command" The letter closes
thus: "And now, beware Of rashness Be-
ware of rashness, but with energy and sleep
less vigilance 60 forward and give us VIC
tories"

GARFIELD's BODY TRANsFERRED.-Ad dis
patch from Cleveland says: "The remains
of the late President Garfield were placed
in handsome bronze sarcophagus, Satur-
day, and returned to their resting place in
the family vault in Lake View Cemetery.
The only persons who witnessed the trans.
fer were James r. Garfield, the dead Presi-
dents sou, Lieut. Edwards and the soldiers
stationed at Garfield Post and four news
paper reporters. The casket rested in its
usual position in tho vault, and its shellac
stained sides presented natural appear
ance The casket was not opened and was
placed in the sarcophagus under the dlrec-
tion of the undertaken. The outer covering
was then Theoretically sealed. The sar-
cophagus was then returned to the vault,
where it will remain until the handsome
monument is completed. The sarcophagus
is the finest article of the kind ever manu-
factured in this country. It is of solid
bronze, handsomely ornamented and weighs
450 pounds. The top is partially oval and
there are massive handles along the sides
and on the ends: 1t rests on four lions
some tablet on the lid, six by fifteen inches,
which was designed by New York jewelry
firm, and is worth about $500. One man
was constantly employed for forty five days
in doing the chasing work. On each end
are lilies and oak leaves, aud acorns orna
ment the projections iu the centre, while
lichen and calycanthus are intertwined,
giving beautiful effect. The cost Of the
sarcophagus was $4,000. The military guard
about the vault will be continued until the
latter part of next June.

PROGRESS OF THE UNITED
STATES

In "Triumphant Democracy" recent
work by Mr.. Andrew Carnegie. Scotch
man by birth, and now an American
manufacturer, the author gives many in
teresting facts showing the progress and
prosperity of his adopted country. He
states that during last year 1900 more
tons Of BeSsemer steel were produced
in the United States than in Great Brit
ain; that more yards of carpet are made
each year III Philadelphia and the vicini-
~ than in all England. Wales and Scot
land; that the school libraries alone in
this country contain l2,OOO.OOO more
books than all the public libraries of
Europe combined; and that all the State
and city debts of the Union added to-
gether, rating them according to valua-
ton of property. do not amount to one
fifth of the city debt of Manchester.
Eng. or to one-tenth of the debt of Biz

A WAR INCIDENT.

The following interesting Renaissance
of General Stannard is related by the
Burlington correspondent of the Troy
Times: One of Gen. STANDARDS most
loyal friends was Col. George W. Hooker.
for time chief of staff. One day
Hooker, while the brigade was camping
on Arlington heights, took the generals
horse, contiscated an old chaise and har-
ness, and having Il liberal supply of COM
missary goods and companion equal to
the emergency, started out to take in the
sights. Regiments, pickets, fences were
of no account. The general on his re-
turn to headquarters and learning what
was being done allowed his military
speech free scope. He sent orderlies at
ter the two lost members of his staff. but
no orderly could capture them. At last
he started out himself and found them
in ii fair condition to surrender. He
seized the horse by the bit and ordered
them out in tones emphatic Hooker
thought ii advisable to retain Il sitting
position, and reaching his fingers to his
vest pocket, drew out quarter in scrip,
and handing it out said "See here. take
this; faint every boy in the army that
can afford "A brigadier general for host
Ter" This captured the general, and he
led the horse to headquarters and saw
that his staff was quietly put to bunk.
