Father Mollinger,s Cures.

Father Mollinger, of the Church of the
Holy Name, at Allegheny, Pa, seems to
have effected some wonderful cures. He
has no connection with the Christian Sci
entists, and it is not likely that he would be
recognized by them as faith healer. for
he does not always cling medicine to the
dogs" On the contrary. he frequently pre-
scrlbes those remedies which are in common
use, although, from reports, he has been
known to effect almost instantaneous cures
without them.
Once year, on st. Anthony's day, peo-
pie flock to the church on Troy Hill to re-
ceive Father Mollinger's blessing. and to be
cured of disease. All classes go there, and
the richly dressed invalid may be seen
kneeiing by the side Of the cripple in
patched clothes. Last week, it is said, fully
o,OOO people were in and around the church,
and they came from all parts of
the country. They apparently had
entire confidence in Father Mollinger. both
asa preacher and as physician, and, kneel-
ing upon the floor of the church and upon
the pavement outside, they grasped his
hand as he passed along, while tears
streamed down their cheeks. As upon
other like occasions. he is said to have done
some wonderful things. He does not claim
to perform miracles, but some of his works
apparently border upon the miraculous.
For instance, if reports are true, he cured
blindness, removed deformities, and enabled
cripples to walk, all in very short while.
Father Mollinger is accredited with
having wonderful knowledge of medicine
and of human ills, and by reason of thi.
knowledge he is able to make a correct
diagnosis of case, and to apply the proper
remedies, if any. He requires that all who
come to him to be cured must have faith in
his power TO cure, and in that be is sensible
1t is very well known that recovery i:
generally more rapid among patients who
are hopeful and cheerful than among those
who are not No doubt the secret of his
success lies in his knowledge of medicine
and maladies, and in the confidence that hi:
patients repose in him.

The Local Government OF ST. Mary's
The recently enacted law, taking the
election Of mayor and aldermen out Of the
hands Of the people Of jacksonville, Fla,
and giving TO the governor the power TO
appoint these officers, was criticised quite
generally IN the public prints Of the
country. and it was regarded as an innova-
ton in local politics; but this is not the first
instance of the kind in the south. The
mayor and aldermen of st. Mary's, the
county seat of Camden county. Georgia,
are appointed by the governor, and have
been for some years.
Shortly after the right TO vote was con-
ferred upon the colored people the local
government Of ST. Mary's fell into the
hands Of colored citizsns Of that place, the
white voters being considerably in the
minority, and il remained in their control
after the democrats had control Of the
state. The administrative ability of the
colored people of st. Mary's was not Of 8
high order, and the int lligent people there
became greatly dissatisfied at having
affairs mismanaged, but they sub
mitted as best they could. Finally
something occurred which brought about a
change. A colored justice Of the peace
caused papers to be served upon a British
shipmaster, prohibiting him from leaving
the port with his vessel until his men had
discharged certain alleged debts said to
have been contracted by them while in the
town. The captain was assured by his men
that 1t was trumped-up affair, to extort
nd hel !; = 4 H..
order, but half dozen colored men, armed
with muskets and backed by the
town authorities, took charge of the
vessel They were outwitted, however, and
the vessel left the port, coming to Savannah,
where the matter was reported to the Brit
lsh consul at this place. The consul thought
1t would be unjust to hold the people of st.
Mary's responsible for an outrage commit
ted by few ignorant colored people, and
the affair was dropped. but the white citi-
zens of that town had become thoroughly
aroused, and they secured the passage by
the legislature of a special act, authorizing
the governor to appoint the mayor and
aldermen. 1t devolved upon Gov Gordon,
few days ago, to appoint a new set of
these officers.
The experience of St Mary's prior to
this law furnishes a striking illustration of
the inability OF the colored people to prop
erly conduct public affairs, and it is doubt
full If even those republicans of the north
who are most noisy in demanding that the
colored people of the south shall rule where
they are in the majority will find fault with
the action taken by the intelligent people of
ST. Mary's. They certainly cannot say
with truth that the change from the control
OF the blacks to that of the whites in st
Mary's was not change for the better.

The New Orleans Times Democrat
doesn't think the republicans will capture
the Third Louisiana district. 1t says: 1.-THE
Third district cannot be bought nor wrested
from the Democratic party, and the threats
that come from Republican party head
quarters will only serve the better to arouse
the spirit OF the democracy to make their
victory the more complete and decisive"
Elk Senator Kellogg seems to have realized
this when he refused to be the republican
candidate, even after being assured that
one man would give S25, 900 to the repub-
lican corruption fund. Southern demo-

Old People.

When man or woman, who has become
prominent for any reason, reaches the age
of 100 years the fact attracts wide atten-
tion. From the reports in the newspapers,
however, it appears that great many OBJ
scure persons live beyond that age. Not
long ago a colored man who, there was
good reason to believe, was LOG years of age
died in the vicinity of this city. In
New York city, on Friday, woman died
who was 104 years of age. Her name was
Margaret Quinn. and she was a
native of the county of Down,
Ireland. Up to two days before her death
she was in full possession of all her facul-
ties. She never wore spectacles, and until
her last sickness she walked about the
neighborhood of her home and climbed two
pairs of stairs to her bedroom every night.
There is man living near Utica, N. Y,
who is 1875 years old. His name isAbraham
Ephraim Elmer, and it is only within the
last year that his eyesight has failed HIM.
His hair is only gray, not white, and he
m yes about with considerable vigor.
Probably there is no older man in this
country than he is. The number of persons
over 90, however, must be very large.
