From the New York Times.
There are doubtless many pathetic
cases of patient resignation among the
destitute and disabled in this great city,
but one of the most peculiar and touching
is to be found in modest apartment on
the fourth floor of 1855 Third Avenue
For seven years has the heroic spirit of
gentle Carrie Dickinson struggled there
against a cruel fate. A hopeless paralytic
and steadily growing weaker and weaker
from the slow raVares of consumption,
she has tOiled, with remarkable fortitude
and perseverance, on her couch TO pro

this poor sufferer is her mother Shy

daughter are inseparable. The Soung

her constantly. Lying on her back, with
a paralyzed spine, Miss Carrie is able to

Dream Quickly Realized.

From the Prog cessive Thinker.
In the morning of May 30, 1898,
precisely at 5 80 o'clock, / seemed
to dream, or have vision, which /
related as soon as | awoke and was
dressed, as my time for rising was
6 o'clock.
My dream was as follows: | was
in narrow road, in a dense forest of
young, growing timber, with my
old, favorite, pet horses hitched
up to a wagon without a
wagon box on it. | was standing
aside, not holding the lines, and
when / noticed one of my horses
trembling with fright, immedi-
ately seized the reins, placed my
self in position on the wagon, and
| saw in front of me a large cara
van of circus animals in full dis
play of parade-elephants, camels,
show-wagons and showmen, about
fifty yards distant.
/ turned aside with my alright
ed team into the dense forest, and
passed between narrow places
among the trees, expecting to be
dashed to pieces, but, to my sur
prise, was not hurt. Finally, as
the caravan approached me, my
horses were damned into a narrow
place, and were struggling on top of
each other in a mass of confusion
and disarrangement, and show
man helped me to release them
from the ENHANCEMENT, when |
suddenly awoke from my dreamy,
visionary condition.
This morning, May 81, 1898, l
found related in the Chicago Tri-
bune, the following account of the
fatal wreck of a circus train, occur
ring on the same day and hour of
my vision, May 80, 1898, at $50
o'clock in the morning, in Chica-
go, the wreck occurring in Penn
sylvania, at Vail station What
relation could / sustain to the cir
Gus wreck taking place at the same
time as my vision?

Conceptions of Future Life.

Archdeacon FarTar.
There are materialists who will
not allow that we have bodies and
are souls. They tell us that our
bodies are not the machines we
use, the tents in which we live,
but are our total-ourselves. We
begin with them, and with them
we shall end, in dust. More than
2OOO years ago Pherecrates had
demonstrated to his own satisfac-
ton "that the soul is nothing
whatever; that is is a mere
empty name; that there is neith-
er mind nor soul either in
man or beast; that the force by
which we act or feel is equally diff
fused through the whole body, is
inseparable from the body, and is,
in fact, nothing whatever but the
body pure and simple"
We may safely set aside asser-
tions respecting the very nature of
our existence, which have been all
but unanimously repudiated by all
races of men. The separate exist
ence of the soul has been as much
the absolute conviction of the SUI
premest intellectS as of the hum
blest and most illiterate peas
ants. To attiibute the illimit-
able range and diversities
of thought to nothing more than
the infinitesimal molecular
changes in the gray substance of
the brain is the most miserable
absurd, unverifiable and impossi-
BILE of all guess.es
AS to the OSCILLATION of the soul,
Aristotle place it in the heart:
EmpeGocees, in the pericardium
others, like our modern material
lists, identified it with the brain;
TO others again it was but the
breath. Zeno thought that it was a
breathing fire. AristoXenus vague
ty declared that it was harmony;
DemOcritus, that it resulted from
a fOrtuitous cOncourSe of atoms;
Xenocrates, following Pythagoras,
defined it, not very luminously,
as a "self- moving MEM
ber." Plato analysed it into the
reason, the passion and the de-
sires. Aristotle thought 1T was a
sort of fifth essence, to which he
gave the name Eutetechy-a name
which so puzzled Hermolaus Bar
barus that he is said to have
evoked the Demon to tell its true
significance But Aristotle went
the root of the matter when he
declared the soul to be a fifth ele-
ment, with on affinity with any of
the four material elements-a rea-
son beyond and above anything
which exists in the animal, and
which though subject to temporary
influences, is devine, pre-eXistent,
active, determining and immortal.

Modern Spiritualism.
A sAREwD QUESTION.

A SAREWD QUESTION.
The spirit is the principal being
since it is the being that thinks
and survives. The body is, then,
only the accessory of the spirit, an
envelope, a clothing, which it
abandons when worn out. Besides
this material envelope, the spirit
has a second semi-material, which
unites it to the first. At death the
spirit strips off the first, not the
second, to which we give the
name of perisprit. This semi
material envelope in the human
form constitutes for the spirit a
fiuidic, vaporous body, but which,
invisible to us in its normal state,
does not the less possess some of
the properties of matter. The
spirit then is not point, an alb
straction, but being limited and
circumscribed, to whom is wanting
only the properties of being visi-
BILE and palpable to resemble
human beings. Why, then, can
it not act upon matter? 1t is
because it's body is fluidic but is
not among the most refined of
fluids, those often regarded as i'm
ponderable, electricity, etc, that
man finds his most powerful mo-
tors ? Does not imponderable light
exercise chemical action on pom
derable matter? We do not know
the specific nature of the perisprit,
but let us suppose it formed of
electrical matter or some other
equally subtle, why should it not
possess the same property when
directed by a will ?

dispatches giving them discretionary
power to take such action as may be
necessary in order to prevent any
further attack on the city which might
engender the lives and property Of for
eign subjects. The commanders of the
foreign war vessels have already acted
in this sense by informing Admiral De

government alone has - Led from

Troops Sent to Morocco to Punish

MADRID, Oct. 5--Not within recent
years has public sentiment been 90
thoroughly aroused as it has been by
the attack of the Moors upon the Span
ish garrison at Melilla on the northern
coast OF Morocco. The government has
taken prompt and energetic measures
to punish the Riff tribes who attacked
the Spaniards, dispatching with all pos
sible speed after the receipt OF the news
Of the battle . gnnboat to lombard the
Riffian strongholds and q special steam
or with battery of artillery to rein-
force the Melilla garrison. The Span
ish naval stations were buster
than they had been In years. AT the
military headquarters. too, there was
an air of suppressed excitement and
orderlies were dispatched frequently to
the barracks conveying instructions to
certain regiments to hold themselves in
readiness TO proceed Immediately to
Melilla. But. notwithstanding all
these preparations, the people are dis
satisfied. The populace do not seem to
understand that some time is necessary
to prepare the troops for foreign serv-
ice. They are bitterly angry at the
Moors, and all the pride of race. which
has distinguished the Spanish nation
for centuries, uureasonably demands
that summary vengeance be wreaked
upon the barbarians who have dared to
insult the yellow and red flag of Spain.
