MURDER OF THE BARRErTs.

interest IN the Tragedy Revived by
the Arrest at Atlanta.
GRIFFIN, GA, Feb 3.-The news Of the
arrest of q negro in Atlanta, VINO is the
probable murderer of DR.. and Mrs. J. H. NJ.
Barrett on Jan. OF last year, created a
good deal of comment here to-day. The
crime was the most atrocious and revolving
of any that ever occurred in SpaIding
county, and anything which brings it to the
attention of the people opens fresh interest
aud excitement. That the man who
is now IN custody in Atlanta is
the right man, most every one
believes, and the negro Sam Kendall
is believed to be the partner in his crime.
There is good reason for this. since Kendall
worked there and knew the habits of the
old people, and fully believed he could Sc
cure money from them. A good sized re-
ward was offered for the arrest and con-
viction Of the perpetrators of the crime at
the time, and should Cochran prove the
guilty one Capt Thompson and his men will
be in about 81 900.

ON THE VERGE OF THE UNKNOWN.
An Experiment That Makes Us Ask,
"What Is Coming?"

An Experiment That Makes Us Ask,
"What Is COming?"
Mr.. w. II. Preece, chief engineer and
electrician to the pOstOffice, has put upa
wire n mile long on the coast near Law
ernOck and Il shorter II on FlathOlm, a
little island three miles off in the Bristol
channel. He fitted the latter wire with
D ''sounder' to receive messages, and
sent a message through the former from
a powerful telephone generator. That
message on the mainland was distinctly
heard on the island, though nothing con-
nected the two, or, in other words, the
possibility Of a telephone between places
uncOnnected by wire was conclusively
established.
There is a possibility here of inter
planetary communication, a good deal
more worthy attention than any scheme
for making gigantic electric flashes. We
do not know if we can communicate by
telephone through the ether to New
York or Melbourne with or without
cables, but we do know that, if we can
not, the fault is in our generators and
saunders, and not in any prohibitory nat
ural law.
Will our habitual readers bear with us
for n moment as we wander into another,
and, as many of them will think, a supra
sensual region? The thought in a mans
brain which causes him to advance his
foot must nov something i'll doing it,
or how could it be transmitted down
that five or six feet Of distance? If it
moves a physical something, internal to

prepared to receive it-fitted with a
sOunder in fact-will make an impact
having all the effect in the conveyance
of suggestion. or even of facts, of the
~audibility of words? Why, in fact, if
II wire can talk to another without con-
nectiOn, "a through ether, should not
mind talk to mind without any wire
at all.
None of us understands accurately, or
even as yet approximately, what the con-
dltiOns are, but many of us know for
certain that they have occasionally, and
by what we call accident, been present
to particular individuals, and that, when
present, the communication is completed
without cables, and mind speaks to mind
independently Of any machinery not ex-
listing within itself.
Why, III the name of science, IS that
more of Il 'mir&cle'-that is, an occur
renee prohibited by immutable law
than the transmission of Mr.. Freezes
message from Lavernock to Flatholm?-

Looked Too Worldly.

An Auburn man was rebuked for IL
dulging in pleasantly in a prayer meet
ing not long ago, but still daring spirits
occasionally t~ransgress in that way with
out being gridir9ned. 1t is related at a re-
cent parish meeting in Richmond, Me-,
to see about calling a pastor, a well
known citizen prominent in church af-
fairs took occasion to remark on the ap-
parent Indifference of church members
to the object for which the meeting had
been called.
He had hoped, he said, to see the church
membership fully represented, but it was
with much regret that he noted their alb
sence. At the conclusion of the gentle
mans remarks a woman in the congrega-
ton who had grown uneasy under his
criticism ventured to suggest that there
was a fair representation of the e~cclesi-
astical body present, indicating bya wave
of her hand several church members
occupying seats in different parts of the
house.
For a moment it looked like a knock
out in favor of the woman, but the gen
tleIman was equal to the occasion, and

Burial Customs in Kentucky.

In the mountains of Kentucky when a
husband dies his. funeral sermon is not
preached until after the death of the
wife, nor hat of a wife until the hus-

called in. and the respect is paid to both
together.

whaling captain. lone day, for some
reason, he jumped overheard The sea
was a little rough, and il was quite
awhile before we got the boats lowered,
and we lost sight Of him. But we pulled
back a little way, and l o saw INN
swimming with all his might, but In the
opposite direction from the boat. L
yelled to him, and when he saw he was
discovered he made no further effort to
get away. And where he was going is
more than l know, for it all happened
in midocean. We hauled him into the
boat and made for the ship. 1t was four
months before we made port, and yet IN
all that time Sandy, for that was his
name, never spoke a word. No n on
board could get a sound from him.
Sometimes he would lie down on the
deck and seem to be asleep and some OF
the crew would slip up and stick him
with a pin. At first he would twitch a
little and then would not move at all.
We made a bed for him down below and
kept him away from a knife or other
weapon You could tell him to take the
wheel and he would steer right enough,
but if rou asked him what course the
ship was making he was silent as the
grave. And when we made the first
port he went ashore, and l never saw
him again. But some of the crew said
he regained his tongue on land and
thought he had been playing us all the
time. But it was a strange case."-San
