A Romantic Story.

COLUMBUS, Neb., January 12.-The
news has just reached here from the
Dishner farm, some distance northeast,
that Minnie Dishner, Nebraska's sleep
ing beauty, recovered consciousness on
/ January Sd, the 9th day of her trance
sleep. The roads have been impossible
until the present time and news of her
recovery could not be received before
The girl fell into the trance from Whit b
she has now revived, on October 6tn
last. During the long interval she has
laid to all aQpesyapces-a ifeless being,
with the exception of respiration and
pulsation. When Miss Dishner awoke
her mind was apparently clear and
unimpaired, her appetite and general
feelings good. But her arms
and lower limbs were paralyzed
She says that she was con-
scious during the whole time of the
protratced trance, but although she
exerted her utmost power to eyince her
Consciousness, she could not move a
8 ngle muscle. She says she had no
physical pain until the fortieth day of
her sleep, when an electric battery was
applied; since then she has suffered a
thousand agonies of body, and at times
it seemed as though her mind would
give way under the strain, and she
now complains of terrible physical
sufferings IN consequence of the shock
to her system. The doctor in attend
ance says, however, that she will re-
cover in short time, and will also re-
gain the full use of her limbs. ~.

JOANNA SoUTHcoTT-Joanna Southcott
was born in Devonshire about 1850. She
spent her young days as domestic SER
want, but in middle life took to uttering
prophecies coucied in uncouth prose or
verse. She found followers in Exeter, but
soon went up to London, where she obtain
ed wider field for the exercise of her tai
ents She drew her inspiration, like others
of her kind, from the Apocalypse; and
made considerable income by the sale Of
seals, which were warranted to ensure the
salvation of those who purchased them. In
the year 1914, being then over sixty years
of age, she gave out that she was divinely
appointed mother of Shiloh, and that his
birth on the ensuing October II would be
the Second Coming of Christ. Her adher-
ents then numbered about one hundred
thousand, and they provided magnificent
cradle for the expected infant. A crowd
assembled at the predicted midnight, and
only dispersed when they were informed
that Mrs SouthcoLt had fallen into trance
On December q following she died. Her
followers refused to believe that she was
dead, and would not allow her to be buried;
but when decomposition began to set in
they consented to post mortem examina-
ton, which revealed dropsy as the cause of
her death.
