MIND READING.-The Washington Post
explains that MIR. WASHINGTON IRVING
BISHOPS wonderful performances are mus
Gle reading not mind reading. Thefollow-
ing experiment, for instance
"The next experiment was 10 read the
number on any bank-note, il the holder OF
tue note would think OF the number.
Representative Burrows concentrated his
thoughts upon the number OF Treasury
note in his possession. Blindfolded again.
Bishop took hold OF Mr.. Burrows's hand
and, after contact Of not more than a
minute, he began to write on blackboard
these figures: GS,Si0,2l0.' Senator In
gals took the note from Burrows and read
the number. The figures on the blackboard
were the figures on the note. This il tue
feat that Labouchere, in England, bet
$1,000 Bishop could not do"
II We must believe IN miracles, we would
as soon believe in mind reading as in such
muscle reading a. that described above.

Tho Conductor was Couyiuced.

Down between summer and Frank!in
street, an elderly woman, evidently from
tie rurh REGIONS, stood Just beside the en-
track and yOciicrated her wish OF riding
on that car. Tie conductors thoughts
were evidently in the clouds, and would
only return from their aerial flight at the
next ,treet-cro,sing. Yet, nothing d9unted,
she gTasped the rail Of the rear platform
aud ran along 10y the side Of the car, when
the follow ing sharp dialogue en>uel:
"N here do you want 10 20, my good
woman"
"Why, in here, Of course, you'fool. /

DRAINING A WELL,

a scream. II was, a be describes IL, an IN.

the situation, as it was thought Bingham
might have not killed the girl, bat have
mutilated her and left her in the
woods. Maynard'N story is given for
y bat it i worth. He now thinks these
frighlful sounds might have been made by
a woman. Two other statements were

are given for what they are worth. Oac is

SUSPICIOUS TRACKS.
Tracks made by his buggy were followed
for a mile and half by your correspond
emf. who also discovered tracks OF man
and woman in pine thickct, near point
where there are many gullics. The places
where the tracks were seen was IN Sot

The rain Of Saturday, and just before II. In
one place two tracks were side by side
three feet apart-one made by mans rlght
shoe, the other by a lady's shoe. The i'm
preston made on looking at the tracks wa
that the lacy had been pulled or forced

RALEIGH, December 22.-Ihl~ afternoon
the members OF the legislative joint COM
mittcc completed the examination OF the
state Treasures books and vouchers,
which had occupied the entire week.
Everything was found absolutely correct.
William Rogers, negro OF this county.
was Jailed here to-day on the charcc OF

graded.,chool building, and narrowly
missed destroying it.
REMARKABLE ELECTmcAL PHENOMENA.
It is only once in lifetime, so TO speak,
that storms Of thunder and lightning 0i
any degree Of severity are known here, or
anywhere in this section. Early this month
there was such storm in Pit county. IN
the midst Of Il snOW->tOrm there were such
peal, Of thunder and flashes OF lightning 4,
aic seen in midsummer. \ house was
struck, family stunned, and child Killed.
To-day a lne.TepalreT OF the Western
Union Telegraph Company told me that
every week be found evidences Of the work
Of d. htning-sOmething before Unknown
during the winter. Poles were split, and
other damage discovered. Can it be that
the earthquakes and the lightning are SYM
pathcticy The atmosphere and the earth
are quite out OF Joint, it appears.
GRArIFIED BAPTsTS.
The Baptl>ts OF the state consider Mr..
Botwich's $4,000 gift to the endowment
fund Of Wake Forest College as his
"Christmas gift" to them. lie bl, pre-
yiously given the college $4,000, it Is
ascertained. The total amount OF the en-
dowment-fund is brought up TO $4,000.
1t is now proposed that the Biptists in
tue state begin at once to raise a special
fund for the erection and proper equip
nent Of a new scientific laboratory. This
has been a pet project for some time, aud
is badly needed. The college has broad
ened rs work and influence in all other
