TURNED TO STONE.

The following wonderful fate visited
upon man who blasphemed, appeared
in the st. Paul GLoJe Wednesday. The
mother of Mrs. A. p. Halfhill of this
city, resident of Ohio, ascertained the
truth of the statement some days .previ-
Gus to publication of the matter, and in
formed her daughter of the facts as
chronicled.
The details as published are as fol-
lows
Last week while at work in the fields,
farmer by the name of Sylvester
Redyan, owner of several hundred
acres of fine farming land in Mercer
county, began cursinc in most shock
ing manner about the drought injurlng
his crop, and wound up with an oath
that he would cut Gods heart ont if he
words uttered than vivid streak of fire
resembling lightning came down from
the Cloudlcss sky and struck Redyan.
His companions who were in the harry
est field with him were rendered in
sensible for several minutes. When
they recovered they were nearly fright
ened to death at the sight which present
ed itself. Redyan, the man who just a
few seconds before had uttered the ter
rible curse had been transformed into
stone and lay on the ground near where
he had stood when he made the shock.
| ing offer to the Supreme Being. His
clothes had been burned from him and
the lips were parted in the stone figure
just rs Redyan had finished the oath.
An awful heat arose from the piece OF
stone, and was so intense that no person
could go near it. While the story is 80
strange that it may not be believed, its
truth is vouched for by reliable men OF
that vicinity. Each Of them had been
to the place and seen the TRANSPORTED
body and do not hesitate to say that
every word of the account is correct
Redyan was man about 40 years OF
age, and had a family of a wife and five
children, who are nearly wild with grief
| Redyan was addicted to swearing and
could scarcely speak word without &C
campaigning it with an oath. The coun
try near where the affair. happened is not
very thickly populated, which accounts
| for the remarkable transaction not be-
ing given to the public sooner.

The Cila N onster.

An interesting, but entirely unexpected, contest took place yesterday ill the building occupied by the Fish Commission. when a large lizard from the Gila river, Arizona, whose bite is poisonous, finding itself in proximity to a2-year-old alligator from Florida. made savage attack upon the scaly reptile and closed its jaws with snap upon the fore paw of the alligator and held on. The lattnr made vigorous fight and its jaws closed dozen times in quick suc- cession upon the mailed head of the assail- ant. It soon, however, became exhausted and moaning like suffering child, it re- lapsed into qaietude. The attendants sought by variety of means to release the wretched alligator, but it was only after the use of the severest moans that the mouth of the lizard was forced open and the alligator freed. It is supposed that the latter will die from the venom in it's system.-Wash- ington Star.

The Parent of Insomonla.

The parent of insomnia or wakefulness is in nine cases out of ten dyspeptic stomach. Good digestion gives sound sleep, indigestion interferes with it. The brain and stomach sympathize. One of the prominen4 symp- toms of a weak state of the gastric organs is a disturbance of the great nerve entrepot, the brain. Invigorate the stomach, and you restore equilibrium to the great centre. A most reliable medicine for the purpose is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters which is far preferable to mineral sedatives and power. full narcotics, whch, thoegh they may for a time exert a sopori6c influence upon the brain, soon cease ts. act, and invariably in jure the tone of the stomach. The Bitters. on the contrary, restore activity to the ope- rations of that aIl'important organ, and their bene6cent influence is reflected in sound sleep and tranquil state of the nervous sys- tenn. A wholesome impetus IS likewise given to the action of the liver and bow els by it's use.

A WONDERFUL BOOK

A telegram from Washington dated Nov. 9th, says that the Secretary of the Interior having received from the War Department a telegram from General Howard, saying that General Miles reports that seven hun dred Hualpai Indians located on the Reser- vatiOn in Northwestern Arizona are now in destitute condition in a barren country and must be fed or starve, has requested the military authorities to issue two third rations per day to those Indians to the ex- tent of 8, ,0OO, the whole of the appropria- tion made by Congress for their support, ,and in the event that that sum proves insufficient to subsist them through the winter months or until they are able to provide for them selves, that the Interior Department be ad- vised of the fact before the 5000 is ex. hausted, when further provision will, if pos ssble, be made for their subsistence. The Government ration for an Indian is three pounds of heef gross and half pound of -four per day.

INTERESTING TO LADIES.

Our lady readers can hardly fail tc have their attention called this week to the latest combination of improve. ments in that most useful of all domes- tic implements, the sewing machine '
 As we understand it, machine for family use should meet first of all these requirements: It should be simple in its mechanism; it should run easilJ 7: it should do Q wide range of work; it should be as nearly noiseless as possi- ble; it should be light, handsome, dura- ble and as cheap as is consistent with excellence throughout.
 These conditions the "Light- Run ming New Home" certainly meetc. It has also several very important and useful attachments and motions" of it's own, which go far to make good its claims to popular favor.
 The "New Home" specially r:com- mends itself to purchasers on account of it's superior mechanical construction, ease of management and reasonable price. Over half million have been sold Tn the last three years, all of which are giving universal satisfaction. This unlivalled machine is manufactured by the NEW HOME SEWING MA CHINE CO, Orange, Mass, and 30 Union Square. New York.
