A MAGNETIC MAN.
Remarkable Popularity of a Man Who
Lives In Maine.
From the Lewiston Journal.

From the Lewiston journal.
In the vicinity of Bond Hill, on a cross
road in Lewiston, Me-, lives an old man
named Pierre Hubert Giguere. His abode
is with young French Canadian family
who knew him when all lived in Canada
on the ST. francis river. This man has a
history as well as some marked peculiar
tiles.
Let him tell his own story
Born in Canada, he early enlisted in the
English army, and was sent as lieutenant
to India, where he fought in several minor
rebellions. 1t was always said of him that
wAile he was brave he had reasons to be,
for he was impregnable This was no
doubt caused by the fact that he possessed
then, as he does now, remarkable power
the like of which a man in the eastern
part of the state is said to possess. He
seems TO be a magnetic person, and can
allay pain by the laying on Of hands, viz,
he rubs gently the parts affected, and
pain ceases for some time. He does not
understand the cause of it, but uses it
freely upon every occasion when he can.
Once, he says, in India an officer high
up in the service was wounded by a rifle
ball, which lodged somewhere in the
mans abdomen. Peter offered to tell the
doctors where it was, but was declined
the chance by the stif-necked physi-
clans, who believed no more in his Jug
glery than IN that of the Sepoy magi-
clans.
Il can make one of you tell where the
ball is, said Peter. GO ahead" said a
doctor, laughing.
Peter walked up to a young physician
who was half-inclined to believe him,
and placing his hand upon the lads head
said, sleep"
The young man sank into chair and
L
and then sad Tell the doctors where
the rife ball ISL
at is in the cavity of the abdomen,
where it has fallen from the ribs. Open
the abdomen and you will find it on the
left side. None of the intestine are in
jdred -
Am l sepahal2"
mo, you are magnetic person, with
mesmeric powers"
Peter says that they found the ball as
indicated, and that after that his prestige
was great. II was in India that he
learned the fluent use of the English Ian
guage.
Returning to Canada later in life he was
engaged on whaling ship as harpooner
and made money there. He has been in
the United States for ten years though
he came here from Fall River only last
summer. He is about so years old and
goes about but little. His power to cure
headaches, toothaches and all minor
kinds OF aches and pains is simply won
derful. He cannot heal his own woes,
nor can he cure his own ills. As yet his
fame as a magnetic healer has scarcely
gone beyond his own neigh borhood and
the shadow Of Bond Hill. He has no edu-
cation, and cannot read or write English.
but in his knocks about the world he has
picked up considerable information.

tion of each volume for the printers
hands cost an equal sum of 10000.
A MOST COMPREHENSIVE SERIES.


The completed work will embrace four
series. The first deals in regular chrono-
logical order with all the military opera
tions in the field; the second with official
correspondence and reports on both sides
relating TO prisoners of war; the third
will cover matters not specially related to
the subjects treated in the first and
second, while the fourth will exhibit the
correspondence, orders, reports and re-
turns of the confederate authorities in the
same line as those of the union officials
set forth in the third series.
The method of treatment pursued
throughout is altogether impartial and
non-partisan. Nothing is printed in the
volumes except duly authenticated con-
temporaneous records of the war, aud
newspaper accounts and private reports
are rigidly excluded.
The story of this story of the Wharf.-The
most extraordinary history of the most
extraordinary war on records full of in
terest. The manner OF its publication Is,
in many respects, unique, and sOme of the
methods employed are peculiar to itself
The first definite steps to execute the gi-
gantic work were taken in 1874, when
congress passed law providing the neces-
Sary means to enable the Secretary of
War TO begin publication but some essen
tial preliminaries were gone through with
ten Years before that date Since then
the WORK has passed through many inter-
esting stages; but it has all been so care
fully done as to be perfectly harmonious
and complete
Every available source of first-hand in
formation has been ransacked, and con-
tributions of official papers that do not
happen to be on file in the department are
being recovered from all parts of the
country. Many of these papers are auto
graph messages and reports written by
the officers in command of the various
armies and divisions engaged in the
struggle, and altogether they form a
priceless collection.

ing agent had been appointed, hut
each officer who desired supplies
ordered it direct without interven-
ton of a purchasing agent; how, then.
WIS this action foolish, and how un-
called for? Still further, wherein
was the action childish? The appoint
ment Of capable man Ps purchasing
agent is every where Except in the
Dispatch Office acknowledged as a
correct business principle, hence the
people are anxious TO know since
when such action became childish"
"Mr, Cribo," says the Dispatch, acted
wisely in not attempting to antago-
uize the majority," therefore he IS not
open TO criticism for secondiug and
sustaining their MOTION" to which the
natural reply is that Mr. Cribb is
man of too much business ability and
political sagaclty to allow himself to
20 on record as fayorng a measure
which he really opposed, especially
when that measure is brought
forward by his political oppo-
nents. Lastly. our friend says
he HERALDs statement that Crane &
Co. received the larger share OF
orders is false. He then gives the
figures Crane & Co., $l2O10 All the
other houses combined $l5715. D,
vide the latter sum among three houses
and then see If Crane did not receive
4 larger order than any other house,
We have not time nor space to notice
III our contemporaries false state
nents, but If he would stick closer to |
acts he might gam the respect of his
political friends and m)re consider
.tion from his enemies.

Suffrage Meeting.

The open meeting of the Phillips
county equal sutfragists in the court
house last Friday evening was well
attended by large and apprecativt
audience, Mrs, Ollie Royce presided
The, music and Rotations by the
little folks were especially commend
able, and showed ability as well as
careful training. The address by
Mrs. j. r., Breaky, was carefully pre-
pared and ably delivered and would
have done credit to speakers of much
greater reputation. 1t was highly APP
preciated by the audience as was also
an excellent paper by Mrs, Rogers.
Other appropriate music was render
ed by the young people of this city

whole was treat to our people and
contained much argument and in
Auence in favor of equal suffrage.

OUR cratic contemporary up the
street INDUCED in another column of
words" on the matter of the purchas
ing agent for the county, last week. He
published the "iggers" and arranged
the tables OF comparison to show how
much more economical Thornton was
than Arnold, all the while labor.
ing under the mistaken idea that Mr..
Thornton was purchasing agent for
the last quarter! Perhaps thong h he
will excuse his ignorance of this sub.
ject on theground that he is a strapg-
er here. These figures, did they repre-
sent all the purchases, would not show
what the Dispatch desires to make
them show, since Mr.. Thornton was at
no time the authorized agent of the
county, although he did order some
supplies for the other officers. Then
no mention has yet been made of the
nearly $50 worth Of supplies which
were on hand at the time but the
bills for which were not on file. This
with the $277.25 which the commas
sloners proceedings show, would bear
out the HERALD's statement. However
our friends shot is harmless except the
recoll, which has nearly knocked him
out. He deals in voluminous DISPLAY
of words and glittering generalities,
with such noticeable pancity of ideas
that three-fourths of his sentences are
meaningless and the other fourth are
full of glazing errors. The gist of
his etfusion is found in the following
sentence: Thus it will be seen how
easy it Is to be led into error by a de-
sire to defend the foolish and uncall-
editor act of public officer" In a
previous issue he speaks of the act of
the commissioners as "childishness."
Now 1t is but natural that the read
ers of the Dispatch should have these
implied charges substantiated if there
be any grounds for making them.

commissioners in appointing Mr..
johnson purchasing agent foolishY
