Mysterious Communications.
Detroit Free Press: Il must tell you
something that happened in our fam
ily," said Miss L. of jefferson ave-
nue., to the writer of this article, (which
has always been Il mystery to us, and
especially to my aunt, Mrs. C--p, who
was personally interested.
"My uncle, Mr. C-p, was volunteer
fireman in the old days of Detroit when
all our best young men ran with the
machine One morning my aunt was
sitting in her home engaged in the do
nestle occupation of shelling some peas
when there came a feeling in her eyes
which caused her TO brush them with
her hand as if "A mist were before them.
AS soon as she removed her hand she
saw her husband come in, holding one
arm as if it were in jured. She asked
him if he was hurt, when, instead of
answering, he disappeared. She again
rubbed her eyes, as if they were the
cause of the unaccountable occurrence.
"At noon my uncle came home hold
ing his arm exactly as she had seen
him. He told her he had been to a fire
and had n very narrow escape from
death: that he had fallen or been
thrown from the engine and had saved
hifnSnlf nv n 1pSnnrntp a pffnpt in Nyhin,
he had severely injured his hand.
He also stated that his one thought
had been, as he thought he was about to
be killed, what would become of his
wife left alone with their little chill
dren."
The only explanation we can give is
that Of a psychic force which carried
mental photograph on wave of thought
to receptive subject. In other words,
it was mind acting upon mind through
the occult forces of nature.
A strange instance Of this occurred in
the memory of the writer in family
the members of which are all dead at
this writing. The story was given me
from the lips of the aged mother her
self, u woman of vigorous mind, life
long professor of the Christian faith,
and as completely without superstition
as anyone | ever knew.
There were four sons in the family, all
| men grown. The Oldest one was named
Levi. The family lived at Laporte Ind,
and were well known and respected.
| Levi was away from home but was ex-
pected on Saturday night, and his
mother sat up late and at last retired,
leaving the front door unlocked. Her
room was small bedroom adjoining the
parlor and from which she could see the
room distinctly. She had hardly fallen
asleep before she heard the front door
| open and saw Levi come into the parlor:
He stood before the open fire place, and
divesting himself of his coat and vest
hung them on chair. AS he seemed
| to be wet Mrs. G. called to him and
asked if it We're raining. He did not
answer and she fell asleep, not waking
until morning.
| At breakfast she mentioned the fact
to the assembled family, who laughed at
her, telling her that it was dream, as
Levi had not yet come home.
| Quite positive that he had the mother
| sent little grandson up to see. The
| child returned and told her that Uncle
Levi" was not home and that his bed
had not been slept in.
Nothing more was said, but before
| the breakfast WAS finished Levi rode
into the yard on II powerful black horse
he had gone off on a bay-and soon
| Joined them at the table. He laughed
at his mothers couceit that he had re-
| turned the night before, and told her
| that he had slept at a tavern twelve
miles distant, leaving for home little
| before sunrise that morning.
| The mother felt a dim foreboding but
what could happen? Here was her boy
at home, safe, well, the picture of
health and long life What warning
was meant to be conveyed.
| After breakfast the young man invit-
ed the family out in the yard to see his
new purchase-the coal black horse. So
the other boys led him out prancing
| and curveting and the younger sons,
Edward and Edgar, ran to assist. The
mother, proud of her handsome boys,
stood placidly by. Levi stepped to his
horse and touched it on the flank, the
| brute kicked wildly, and after one dis
traught look and without speaking a
word the young man sank down among
them-dead. The iron hoof of the
vicious animal left black impress over
the young mans heart. Now what did
the vision mean? If a warning it was
insufficient. If mere presage Of doom
it completed its mission long afterward.
OF the four young men there met, three
died violent deaths. The nationalist
will pass it by as dream caused by the
mothers anxiety and expectancy. But
what are dreams? Can any one tell?
