BACK FROM THE DEAD.
A COlOred Man on the West Side Took
Short Journey Into Eternity.

a Short Journey Into Eternity.
The colored people on the west side
have ceen greatly excited over the ap-
parent death and strange resuscitation
OF John Ford, one of their number.
John has been suffering since last
fall with consumption, and for the last
few weeks his death has been expected
at any time. About one O'Clock Sun
day morning he sank into a trance for
few moments and created sensa-
ton among his watching friends when
he came to by making the startling
announcement that the Lord had ap.
peared to him and told him to prepare
to die at II o'clock Sunday morning,
Sure enough, when the hour came,
John apparently died with the resig-
nation of the true Christian. His fam.
lily and friends all gathered around
the bedside and sadly mourned his de-
parture hence. Preparations were
made to lay the body out, and other
matters arranged looking toward his
funeral. But about two hours after
his supposed demise, John began to
show signs of life and, to the utter as
constituent OF all, was soon restored to
complete consciousness. Again he
made the flesh OF his hearers creep
by relating bis experience in the other
world. He said when he sank away
some Of his old friends, long since
dead. appeared around him and gave
him to understand that they had come
to take him to a better world. But
they had not proceeded far, when they
met the Lord, who said that he was
not ready to take John from the earth
yet. The Lord then granted him an
other lease of life for tweniy-three
years in order that some business
which was connected with his pension
might be attended to. John was a
soldier in the Federal army and draws
pension. He has been expecting
back pay to the amount oil few thou.
sand dollars, and it was for the proper
adjustment of this claim that re.
prieye was granted him after he had
been allowed TO taste OF the cup OF
death.
When DR.. Stevens, his physician,
called ON him after his remarkable
trance John had certainly entered
upon his new lease with commend
able buoyancy and relish.
That there was anything like de-
lirious Authorization about the affair
was not tenable for a moment &c
Johns mind, and he politely but firmly
told the doctor that there was no use
to take any medicine as the Lord hat
told him he should live twenty-thret
years yet After considerable argu
ment and persuasion on the part 0
the physician and friends, the sicl
man allowed DR.. Stevens to form
kind Of nominal partnership with tn,
Great Monarch of all pharmacy anC
tn fapeutics and begun to to tax,
nj dicine again, as sn act OF gratitud,
and courtesy, II is remarkable fac
that he is much better and ID joyou
aud hopeful. There is d mere posi-
bility OF getting up for ye or two
but it seems idle to hope that he CT
: live twenty-three years. He eeems t,
be perfectly rational, and is delighte,
to tell his wonderful experiences 0
his two hours journey toward tina
country from whose bourne no tray
eller ever returns.
