The reception rendered the Rev. e. J.
VanDeerlin, by the members of st.
Johns guild, OF Deadwood, on Wednes-
day evening last at the residence of d.
A. MCPHERSON, was largely attended and
thoroughly enjoyed. The reverend gen
tleman was warmly welcomed and sue
ceeded in creating most favorable i'm
preston on all present, both members of
the guild and outsiders. The papers Of
Deadwood speak highly OF Mr.. Van
Deerlin and hope he will become per
manent resident OF the Black Hills.
Sturgis and Deadwood were extremely
favored in getting pastor so well fitted
for the arduous- duties Of the position.
To prove to what an extent the time
of the Judge of this district is occupied
we would mention the fact that when
Judge Thomas took the train last Thurs
day for Yankton to attend supreme
court, he was compelled to hold ses-
sion in chambers on the train from
Rapid City to the Nebraska line. He
listened to the arguments of attorneys,
ETC., as though he was sitting in well
regulated courtroom. 1t is rather hard
on a Judge when he cannot get away
from legal business even when travelling.
The first thing Judge Thomas knows
the attorneys viii besiege his bed
chamber, and make him listen to their
talk. Give us another Judicial district
and give Judge Thomas rest.

Messages From Spirit Land.


The little hall at No. G Sixth street,
where the Spiritualists hold their re-
ligiOus gatherings, socials, ETC., was
crowded last evening by an audience of
more than average intelligence, who
convened to listen to Frank L. Ripley,
of Boston, lecture and witness the tests
he gives. The preliminary services
being finished, Mr.. Ripley requested alb
solute quiet, and, descending from the
stage, described several spirits to vari-
Gus ladies in the front of the hall, to
whom they brought messages and who
recognized them, says the Pittsburg
Commercial Gazette.
One of these spirits called itself "Aunt
Mary" and another MARY Coleman"
"The spirits crowd about me in such
numbers. crying, Tell of me, tell of
me"" said the medium, that l cannot
convey the messages fast enOugh.''
Now came two spirits, John" and
Emma" with whom was connected in
some way the song when l Can Read
My Title Clear" The last named spirit
told of well-wOrn gold ring which the
dressing possessed, the gift of her dead
mother, and which was laid away some
place at home.
The young lady said this circumstance
was true; also that she was Spiritual
ist, and had never before seen the me-
dium. The spirit of a light-haired child
next appeared to Mr.. Ripley, who SAID
his throat felt sore as if the child had
died of Group or diphtheria. It.hOvered
around an old lady in the audience who
recognized it as her grandchild who had
died of Group.
The medium next picked out gentle
man to whom he said an old lady with a
hand drawn up as if burned was point
ing. This gentleman couldn't recog-
niZe any such spirit. Neither could he
remember any Aunt Polly" nor
Aunt Mary" who came to him. Mr..
Ripley tried hard to have this gentle
man recognize one of these spirits, but
did not succeed. He tried him once
more with spirit named George Kel-
lOgg," but it was no use. The gentle
man diSclaimed acquaintance with any
and all of these spirits, and the medium
left him with the parting junction to
be very careful in financial matters for
the next month or else he would get into
serious trouble. This information came
from this unrecogniZed spiritual quar-
tette. In response to a question from
the medium, the gentleman remarked
that he believed there was something in
spiritualiSm, and If he didn't he
wouldn't be found at the meeting.
Some of the more earnest believers
sitting near the reporter pronounced
the gentleman Skeptic, and said he
recognized the spirits, but refused to
acknowledge it.

cipal range has been in Glover and Star

to effect cure on three or four young

Owing to the fact that as medical adj

HOT SPRINGS OF ARKANSAS
(EK7IRELY AEW)

Much Of the benefit and comfort to be
derived from visit to this justly cele-
brated health resort depend upon the
choice of hotel.
A few years ago there was little or no
choice; but more recently the hotel ac-
commodations of the town have greatly
increased, both as to CAPACITY and in
the EXCELLENCE Of their appliances.
Many Of the hotels in Hot Springs
employ DRUMMERs WHO BOARD THE

Il can recall an incident that hap
pened few months ago while | was

very intimate friend of mine who has
been dead several years. y peculiar
feeling or desire suddenly came over me
that would like to talk with my friend,
and suddenly heard voice that was

Among the questions asked by me
was the following: Are you at peace"
And the answer came back in a clear,
distinctive voice, Il am There was no
one near but myself, and the voice could
not have been that of a living being"
Mr.. Holmes said that he had never be-
fore related this incident, not even to
his family. As he is not of an eXcitable
disposition. and perfectly reliable in
every respeGt, the statement of Mr..

The Art of Talking Well.

NdSllNllle dmeTICdu.
Anybody can talk, but the art of con-
versatiOn, freely and intelligently con-
Quoted, is confined to the few. Indeed,
the difference between talk and CONVEX
sation is wider than between kitchen
and drawing room, but there are few
rarer things than the man or woman
who can express ideas in an easy, sen
sible and entertaining manner. The
tlim-flam, the gabble of social life, is not
conversation. Conversation is an art,
whether natural or acquired, just like
letter writing or public speaking. and
no one can do any of these things with
out practice. Of course, conversational
powers may be improved if the man or
woman can once be convinced that any
Improvement is needed. But few are
aware of their own deficiencies, and the
general consequent indisposition to self
improvement has made almost a lost art
of conversation.

1t had been q terrible winter, with
heavy gales and hurricanes, which had
deferred many brave captains from
leaving port. And many brave sailors
had found resting place at the bottom
of the Atlantic through an oVerdarinS
spirit when the ship AlbatroSs, with
fright good Yankee" crew and cargo
of general merchandise, set sail from
New York OH the 10th of January, 1871.
Capt. Frost was q most worthy sea-
man, but not one who would endanger
the lives of good crew through care
less experiment. He was often wont 10
say, IF God wills it. we go the bottom
in fair weather or foul" and with this
as his motto he set sail for Gibraltar,
says the New York Press.
During the first week at sea the
weather was fair, but on the night OF
Jan. 2S a Squally wind sprung up.whlch
soon ripened into a full-rigged tempest.
The staunch ship was rocked and tossed
like an egg shell on the mountainous
waves, which threatened to engulf her.
The night grew darker, and through
the rigging the weird shrek OF the
wind caused the most SuperstitiOuS fears
to take possession of the sailors.
Boys, it's fearful night, spoke an
old tar. Il am no land-lubber. lads, but
such nights as these ghosts hold their
sway in doomed ships. L can remem-
ber-'
"Hark. Hark! me lads" interrupted
one of the listeners.
Listen, there it is again. said an
other, Us a plaintive sound echoed
through the ship. The wind grew
louder, and from its mournful cadence
came this weird strain:
I N,riAs Ii u lNriNn
Beneath the waves of the ocean blue,
NV soul with God
My body in the sea,
And the blue waves rolling over me.
There was a rush for the deck. where
the sailors were met by the captain.
What means this?' he demanded.
"Why did you not tell us the ship
was haunted?' said the old sailor.
Have you, too. heard the sounds?'
said the captain, in surprise.
The men looked at each other i'll as
toniShment, but no one answered.
I'VE will search the ship" said the
captain: perhaps we have some stow
away aboard"
Down into the hold went the captain
and crew, but nothing rewarded their
search.
The night of Jan. % was starlit and
beautiful. The day-watch was on deck
enjoying the customary smoke before
turning in. and spinning yarns, when
suddenly the dismal wall of the previ-
Gus storm rang through the ship. The
tars with one accord made for the ships
side, and in their terror threw them
selves into the sea.
The captain stuck to the ship for
some days, but eventually became mad,
and in moment of frenzy embarked in
a jolly-boat, leaving the ship to its
doom.
After days of Suffering he was picked
up by German brig.
The AlbatrosS went down in gale
which occurred Feb. l.
The relator of this legend of the sea is
an officer of the United States navy,whO
heard it from the lips of Capt. Frost,
who, he says. never overcame the terri
bic strain of the last voyage of the AL
batroSS.
