4 Remarkable Case.

Wednesday Mr.. G. Il. Sampson, Of
the Topeka Paper Co., related the de-
tails of peculiar matter that came to
his personal knowledge a day or two
since. 1t seems that Arthur Smith, a
young man about eighteen years old,
living seventeen miles due west of
Great Bend. attended couple OF the
revival meetings held at TIE NJ E.
church in this city some two weeks ago.
He was soon after taken i'll with spinal
meningitis, and was more or less sick
for about two weeks. From Sunday
the 18th to Friday tbs GARD he was in
great agony. his throat SWOLLEN almost
to sutfication and his back bliStered and
raw. 1t took several men to hold him
in bed at times. and two doctors were
in Attendance on him. Friday he had
Il worse spell than ever. and finally
sank away in what all supposed to be
death. He remained in this condition
for about half an hour. when he came
to. as it were, and Immediately got up
and asserted that he was we'll. The
swelling had gone, the soreness aud al:
pain had gone. He said that he had
really been dead, that he had gone be-
fore the Lord, in heaven; had seen a
| number Of dead relatives there. and
that the Lord promised him if he would
do His work be should be cured. The
boy says he is now pledged to do the
Lords work. and has already began to
prepare himself fox the ministry. The
neighbors and friends confirmed all
that ME. Sampson had heard from the
family and the boy himself. Was it a

Hagultr Chain of Swallows Runs from

At recent meeting OF the Academy
of Sciences, Paris. Nj. Emile Blanch-
ard read paper on the existence OF n
terrestrial connection between Europe
and America during the present geo.

began by pointing out that a line from
the north of Scotland through Orkney.
the Farce Islands Iceland. Greenland
and Labrador. by way of Davis Straits,
passes from one island to another
across comparatively shallow seas.
Another evidence OF land connection
exists in the prevalence OF European
species of animals and plants in tho
eastern parts of America especially in
Greenland, whore the fora of the west
coast is American and that of the east
coast is European. Anemones from
northern Europe are found in the south
crn states; violets, too, grow there, as
well as wild roses; and the astragalc
of the Alps nourishes in Canada
Among other plants common to the
two hemispheres may be mentioned
rhododendrons. saxifrages, gentians
and so on. Willows. ivies and brooms
exist in both regions. Grasses may be
omitted. because their seeds could be
transported for a great distance by
water; but orchids and lilies of
Northern Europe are common in North
America Three or four hundred
species of beetles. an insect incapable
Of long flight are denizens of both

4 Dislike for Onions.

A painter had been commissioned to
paint the image OF q saint on the re-
fectory wall OF the convent The
price stipulated was very low, but it
was agreed that the pain er should
have his meals provided at the expense
ot the convent until the work WAS fin
ished. But the only food supplied to
the poor artist was bread onions, and
water. The day for unveiling the
fresco at length arrived. The friars
stood around the artist the curtain
was removed. 1t was no doubt very
fine picture, but the saint had his back
turned toward the spectators. What
does this mean?' shouted the indig.

The DUTY of Ohio.

The Democratic campaign la Ohio
has dwindIcd to Il guerrilla war. From
the lake to the river, from the Indiana
10 the Pennsylvania border. there is
not an intelligent Democra, who be-
lieves that Governor Campbell will be
reelected. His sole use to the party
now is that OF an old nag that is kept
to trade with. The working" DEM
ocrats will Offer to swap Campbell for
votes for State legislators in every
precinct of every county. 1t is a cruel
humiliation 10 that the Democrats are
lufiic;ing upon the unfortunate gentle
man whose name stands ut the head
OF their ticket. No Democratic poll
ician in Ohio now dreams OF defeating
Major Mckinley. Ills election Is GER
tain.
The Republicans OF Ohio can elect
every officer OF state and Il decisive
majority of the legislature il they will
but stand firm. There is no need to
trade a single vote to secure the cleo
ton of any State officer. A Democratic
majority in the legislature can not be
elected unless by Republican apathy.
The ono Republican duty in Ohio now
is TO vote tho ticket, the whole ticket,
! and nothing but the ticket Perform.
ance OF this duty will make the Demo-
cratic defeat an overwhelming dis
| aster. 1t will be pity if Republican
| over-contidence or Republican over
anxiety to elect the Governor should
leave the Democrats in possession OF
the state legislature and with the gain
OF United States Senator. United
and resOlute Republican action in
! OhiC will lead TO Democratic defeat
that will demorulize thai party in
every state and territory in the Union.
1t will be the Republican duty to vote
early and to vote solidly on The morn
ing OF election day.-Chicago Inter-
| Ocean.
