SHE MAY WRITE A BOOK.
Mrs. Parneu Intends, If Health Permits
to Vindicate Her Husband.

Mrs. Parnel Intends, if Health Permits,
to Vindicate Her Husband.
LONDON, Oct. 19.-It is said that Mrs
Parnell, if she RECEIVERS her health, will
write memoir of the great leader, to
relieve him from much of the blame cast
upon him on her account There are
two sides to the O'Shea divorce, of which
the public has heard only one. Parnell
would never condescend to defend him
self, especially after he was assailed by
Mr.. Gladstone. He held that the Irish
people ought to have seen that a dead
set was made at him because he was
England's most formidable antagonist,
but Mrs. Parnell is determined that the
whole truth shall come out. It will
then be seen that though ParnelI was
not free from guilt, he was nothing
like SO guilty as the world has been led
to believe.
Rumors of this kind were af1oat before
the trial; some of Parnell's friends who
afterward deserted him put implicit fait b
in them.
Mrs. Parnell will never play into the
hands of her husbands enemies. She is
woman of great ability and determina-
ton. She did her utmost to provide her
husband with happy home during the
last few harassed months of his life. He
fled to it as a refuge from the storm
but nothing could res train his eagerness
to set himself right with the Irish peo-
pie. His wife's name was never men
toned, but his thoughts were never long
away from her. H is only defence of his
conduct was that he had not acted
treacherously or broken up a home
If Mrs. Parnell carries out her prese MT
purpose this position will be establ shed
by facts and documents which do not
admit of challenge or disproof.

Claim of q Medium that the Late Prest-
dent Was a Believer.

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Oct. 19.-In q
work entitled "Was Abraham Lincoln a
Spiritualist?'' Mrs. Nettie Colburn May
nard of this city makes some startling
declarations i'll regard to Mr.. Lincoln's
belief in supernatural communications.
She states that in the latter part of
1862, when she was a young girl, and al
ready gaining reputation as medium,
she was in Washington, and became ac-
quainted with Mrs. Lincoln and a num-
Der of other persons of prominence, who
were attendants upon her seances, and
through this means she came in contact
with the President
Mrs. Lincoln induced her husband to
atted one of Miss Colburn's seances, and
on that occasion he was warned through
the unconscious medium not to pos tpone
his Issuance of the emancipation procla-
nation. Those present were SURPRISED.
and asked Mr.. Lincoln if any pressure
had been brought to bear to secure the
de terment of the proclamation, and he
replied that there had been press ire of
the strongest kind. He was much iu-
pressed by the incident, and the procla-
nation was shortly issued
Lincoln obtained Miss Colburn a clerk
ship, and she remained in Washing ton,
frequently giving seances, the President
attending several of them, and being
seemingly much impressed with the
manifestations.
In the winter of 1854 Mr.. Lincoln
was present at a seance, and the terrib
condition Of the freedmen was made the
subject of spiritual communication, the
president being urged to appoint COM
mittee to investigate the question, which
he soon did. General Daniel f. Sickles
was present at this seance. Mrs May
nard states that during this winter she
held seances attended by Mr.. and Mrs.
Lincoln, at the.president's appointment,
but as they were private, and she was
unconscious when the spirit was COM
municating through her, she does not
know what was communicated, neither
Mr.. nor Mrs. Lincoln having told her
atterward what had occurred.
During the winter of 1S64-5 Charles
Colchester and Charles Foster wellknown
mediums, held seances for the President.
and through them, as we'll as through
Miss Colburn, the President was warned
of his approaching fate. He did not adj
NIT, however, that he placed any reli-
ance upon these prophecies.

washIngten-s Farewell Address.

a vexed question has been raised
concerning the authorship Of this adj
dress. At present it appears that it
was the joint production of Washing
ton, Madison and Hamilton. Wash
ingtOn drew up q rough draft of it
about the close of his first term. and
requested Madison to revise and
change it where he thought best. lie
did 50: but il was not used then.
Afierward. near the close of his
second term. Washington placed it in
the hands of Hamilton. and asked
him to redress it. Thus it received
the mental strain of three of our
greatest Americans, yet it breaths the
spirit and cmbodics the system of
policy in which Washington had
acted throughout his administration.
To quite an extent the cOunsels and
recommendations of this farewell adj
dress have been adopted by our ma
tional management; and fortunate
would il have been for America if all
had been adopted and followed, es-
peclally that concerning characteriz-
ing parties by geographical divisions
Northern, Southern, Eastern and
Western. The failnre to adopt this
has cost this generation alone thous-
ands of most precious lives and mil
lions of hard-earned wealth, besides
endnngcring all our most precious
rights and liberties.

the undertaking principles of a rotten
monarchy with its class privileges and
titles. 1t Is inimical to everything
that is just, fair and equal. 1t repre-
sents enmnity and hatred to the flag
of Washington, jackson and Lincoln,
each of whom were natives of the
South, true patriots, and lovers of
equal rights and independence. II
poisons the minds of the youths of
a portion Of our country, and will be
the cause Of a second rebellion that
will be crushed out more effectually
than the first, for ii Is q well establish
ed historical truth that no Southern
army, be 1t yer 80 brave can con-
qucr and subdue a Northern one on
its own soil.
These are some of the reasons why
the sight of that flag stirs up the feel
ings of patriotic men, and the adop.
ton of those resolutions. They meant
insult to no one, much less the ladies
who are engaged in work that every
true Union soldier approves.

veterans we extend the hand OF

often done in the past, divide our last
