INSTINCT OF TELEPATHY

a Woman in Church Knew when Her
husband was Killed in Battle.
There are always curious things happe-
ming, many of which can not be explain
ed. To one class Of these the name of
telepathy has been given. The word
signifies knowing or feeling at a distance
That is teiepathy. The following Incl
dent illustrates it. Similar things occur
red in this city during the war, and since
says the Pittsburg Gazette.
"On Sunday morning, May 5, 1868.
Mrs. Lansford +. Chapman, wife of the
gallant soldier who was then in Virginia
and n command Of the TWenty-eighth
Pennsylvania infantry regiment, attend
ed service in the church to which she
nded servicein the church to which she
belonged, in Mauch Chunk. Shortly
after the service had begun she was sud
denly taken very i'll. Friends came to
her assistance and when she became
able she gasped, The major has been
killed in battle
This statement was found afterwards
to be strictly correct He was killed
while leading his comrades in charge
against the enemy at Charlottesville in
the midst Of the severest fighting of that
sanguinary engagement. He was killed
so far as can be learned, at the very mo-
ment his wife became i'll. General
Geary, commanding the division Of
which the Twenty eighth formed a part,
saw him fall, and dismounted and mark
ed the spot where he fell"

Natural MnnNnOlieS.

These carry the robbery still furtheK
The government, either municipal, state
or national, grants away rich franchises
to private corporations for purposes Of
gain. Gas, water, street cars, electric
lights, telephones, telegraphs, railroads,
coal mines, iron mines, gold mines, for
ests, natural gas, and many other things
that affect the public, are each used to
extort exhorbitant prices, that large div
idends may be paid on ''watered stock -
The pOstoffice makes the whole mail
business one well organized, harmonious
system. The government finds it can
make money at three cents letter.
The price is decreased to two cents and
the revenues increase. One cent would
probably still further increase the rev.
enueS. Ten cents would decrease them.
With this decrease in rates mail is in
creased, the people better served, and
heavy burdens are lifted. Thus it would
be if the proper governments could take
charge of these other matters. One
cent a mile for travel would add pleas
ure, recreation, intelligence and greater
friendship to the masses, lift burdens
and increase revenues. Voters have
these matters in their hands What VIII
they do?

In the Kennebec valley, or towards
that way, there lives a gentleman OF
the old school, in handsome old home
stead that stands a mile or more from
the nearest village and railroad station.
This gentleman is of a cOnvivial turn
Of mind, and for a long time found it
necessary to go to Portland at frequent
intervals sometimes as often as two or
three times week. From every one
of these journeys, says the Boston Tran
script, he returned on the latest train
that he could get, and this was one
that invariably landed him at this sta
ton as late as IL o'clock. As he was
not in the least in condition to walk
home, it was necessary every night for
the local iyery-stable keeper to harness
a horse and take him home. This went
on until the livery-stable keeper re-
solved that the man must be remon-
strated with. Therefore, the gentleman
having arrived one night from Port
land at the usual hour and in the usual
condition, and the horse having been
put into the conveyance and the man
Iaded in as usual, the livery stable keep
er turned to his messenger and remark
ed shrewdly:
Look here, Squire! If you don't
quit this kind o business pretty soon
there'1 be singin' down to your house
some day, and begad you won't hear a
word of itr'
Something about this admonition-the
grim picturesqueness Of it, perhaps
caused it to sink into the mans mind,
and he left off his trips to Portland for
some time.

y Happy Couple.

Detroit Free Press.-The happiest cou-
pie | ever knew were a man and his
wife who lived in two or three tiny
rooms in ii block, and with limited means
enjoyed all the comforts of home. The
llan had a profession, but it was a very
lowly one; he clipped the ears and tails
of dogs for a living, and sold Illustrated
books on dogs and their food. His
home was the neateSt place l ever saw;
his wife was pretty womanWholesonc
and cleanly, with a principle showing in
all her actions. She did her own work
and her cooking was something to re-
member. 1t was no trouble to her to
pare "a meal She would take three to-
matoeS and Il handful of crackers and
give Jim Il dish of eScOllOped tomatoes
of winch 0 caterer might have been
proud. They had birds and books and
love, and life always seemed like a hol-
lday to them; they enjoyed it like chill
dren, and each was perfectly happy with
the other. l like to think of them often
and hope that luxury and selfshness
have not drifted them apart or made
life other than the beautiful thing it was
when | first knew them. They are a
m0ng the fortunate few who have no
artificial wants.

A ISSISSIPPI STEAMBOAT.
The Typical River Vessel as Seen by IA
Coast Man,

The Typical River Vessel Seen by ii
Coast Man.
! The City Of Providence was one of a
/ long line of Mississippi boats edging the
broad, clean, slOping levee that fronts
busy st. Louis. She was by far the lar
gest and handsOmest of the packets; but
all are of one type and that is worth de
scribing. They are, so far as | remem-
ber,aU painted white, and are very broad
and low says Julian Ralph in Harpers
Magazine. Each carries two tall black
tunnels, capped with bullying ornamen-
tai top, and carrying on rods swung be
tween the tunnels the trade mark of the
company cut out of sheet-iron; an an
Choir Or an initial letter, a fox or a swan
or whatever. There are three or four
stories to these boats first the open
main-deck for freight and for the boil
ers and engines; then the walled-in So
loon-deck, with a row of windows and
doors cut alternately close beside one
another, and with profuse ornamental
ton by means of jigsaw work wherever
it can be put; and, last Of all, the Tex
as" or officers quarters, and the ''bu-
reau, 'Or negro passengers cabin form
ing the third story. Most of the large
boats have the big square pilot-house on
top of the Texas" but others carry it
as part of the third story in front Of the
Texas" The pilothOuse is always
made to look graceful by means of an
upper fringe of jig-saw ornament, and
usually carries a deer's head or pair of
antlers in front of it. We would call it
enormous; a great square room with
space in it fo1 a stove, chairs, the wheel
the pilots, and, in more than one boat
that l saw, Il sofa or cushion laid over
the roof of the gangway from below.
The sides and back of the house are
made principally of sliding window-sash-
eS. The front Of the house, through
which the pilots see their course, is clos
able by means of door hinged into sec
tons and capable of being partially or
fully opened as the state Of the weather
permits. The wheel of one of these |
great packets is very large and yet light |
1t is made as if an rdinary Eastern
or Northern wheel had been put in |
place and then its Spokes had grown |
two feet beyond its rim, and had anoth-
er rim and handles added. There are
many sharp bends in the river, and l
afterward saw the pilots using both
hands and one foot to spin the big cir
Gle, like a pin-wheel, until the rudder
was hard over on which ever side
they wanted it.
These Mississippi packets of the first
md second class are very large boats,
md roOniness is the most striking char
icteristic of every part of them. They
ook light, frail, and infamInable, and
20 they are The upright posts that
Use from the deck of such a boat, to I
support the saloOn-deck, are mere little
sticks, and everything above them, ex- {
,ept the tunnels is equally slender and ]

my point of their makeup. They would :

Once while Mr. Ha1nlin was vice pres

sent to him from Carmel, and he came
10 the yards for her personally
and led her to his honse through the
streets of Bangor, dressed in his tradi-
tional swallOw-tail, says the New York
Evening Post.
An amusing incident was his expert
cnce at some place in Italy when he
was minister to Spain. On arriving at
the hotel the landlord very obsequious-
" conducted Mr.. Hamlin and his wife
TO their rooms, which consisted of q
whole suite on the lower floor and ush-
cred Mr. Hamlin into one set of rooms
saying: Here are madame's roomS;'
upon which Mr. Hamin took him aside
with this remark:
These are all very we'll, but haven't

A gentleman, well known in the

cisco moved to New York and establish

and distilery, and after awhile special
agents of the internal revenue service

alleged, evasion of taxes, of which
he claimed he was innocent. They fin

name of the government, and it was
continued along for some time III

gentleman got Mr.. Hamlin interested
and he took it up with authorities a

parties. This gentleman happened t.
be visiting a friend in Bangor soO1
after and called upon Mr.. Hamlin one
evening, and on leaving laid check
for $1,000 on the table. The next day
however, Mr.. Hamlin met the gentle
man on the street and returned the
check to him with the remark:

PROGRESS Or MIN D-READING

ur. Guio.si. the Noted MiuG Controller,
Explains f'sJ chonOIIsm
The subject of mind-re,,Lmg is attract
i've to the general public and 10 scien-
lists who have for hundred years been
investigat ling the mysteries OF the man
ifestations produced.
To them the mystery seems as dense
as before There has been as great an
advancement in the science as III other
things, until now thOught-reading has
been elevated to a higher plane than
ever The manifestations which are pro
duced are far superior to those of pre-
viOus years.
The originator of the science was
Friedrich Anton Mesmer, a physician
of Vienna, who brought out mesmerism
in 1T16.
Mesmer did not pretend to control the
minds Of his subjects.He was content
with physical demonstrations. He was
able to make the lame walk and the
deaf hear by the laying on of hands.
/ In 1854 Mesmer went to Paris, where
the French government examined into
the mysteries of mesmerism. MeSmer
was given a large yearly pension TO re-
main in Paris. He became one of the
most noted characters of his time.
After Mesner comes DR.. Charcot, Blen
helm and Lewis. who advanced the sci
ence considerably. They introduced to
the world hypnotism, in which both
mind and matter are blended as agents.
Washington Irving Bishop and Stuart
~ Of
tism. They could read the thoughts of
some subjects, and thus discover where
hidden articles were located, and what
certain persons in the audience were
thinking Of.
Both mesmerism and hypnotiSm have
been surpassed by psychOnotism, of
which l am an exponent, writes AT.
Guibal in the New York Journal
| control the mind Of my assistant,
Miss Greville, so that any request
which is made by any person in the au-
dience is at once executed by her with
out the slightest communication with
me, and 10 words spoken. 1t is entire
ly an operation of the mind, and is thus
superior to the physical manifestations
ny dhl 1ly
An error in executing the desires of
the audience is never made under the
psychonotic method. Very strong will
power is of course, necessary to impress
upon an assistant the requests whisper
ed to myself by members of the audi
ence. The assistant need not neceSSari-
" be of IA timid nature or weak resolu-
ton.
If a mans or woman's thoughts can
be read and conveyed to a third party
without. any communication between
the parties concerned, long step for
ward must be acknowledged.

AN UGLY RECORD.

The old year was a bloody one. The
statistics of crime for 1892 collected
by the Chicago Tribune show that, While
the number OF murders increased TO
6.492 against 5,9O6 in 1891, 1920 III
1890 and 3,567 i'll 1889, the number Of
judicial hangings was only 107 as com
pared with 1S3 in 1891 and 1O2 in 1890.
Georgia stands at the head Ia this re-
spect, having executed II, and Ken
lucky and Texas follow with 10 each
and Arkansas 8. OF the 1O7 murders
executed, rs were hanged in the South
and 20 in the North. They were Gi-
yided by race into 81 whites, ~ negroes,
. Indians and / Chinese. There were
four women among them. But While
judicial hangings decreased in number,
reported lynchingS were many more
than in 1S91-236 against 1875.
The south as usual furnished the
main body of these lawlesS executions
no less than 200 taking place Ill that sec
tiOn, with Tennessee and Louisiana each
credited with %. Although the negroes
comprise less than One-tWelfth of the
population of the country, they fur1t
ished 90 per cent of the victims. There
were five women among those hanged
by the mobs.
The Tribune's tables also show d
great increase in the number of suicides
the past year having a record Ill this
respect Of $3.50 persons against 1881 il
1891 and 264O i'll 1890. Some 3,O55 OF
hese were men and the medical profes
slon still holds the distinction of con
tributing more largely to this dismal
list than any other professional calling
