The Vision of Washington.


 had vision which he wrote out at the time. Some years ago the Chicago Inter-Ocean was asked by correspon- dent to republish the original. That paper instituted search for it, found it. and republished the vision as originally written. We have had request for it, and as it may be of in- terest to more than one at the present time, we give it as 1t was published by the Inter-Ocean:
 "As 1 sat this afternoon writing and my mind was deeply weighed down with trouble, l discovered op- posite me most beautiful female form. l was much surprised, for l had given premptory orders not to be dis turbed by any one. l could not on the moment find words to enqnire Of this unlocked for visitor. Three or four times enquired without receiy- ing an answer; she only elevated her eyes a little. l now felt most ex- traordinary sensation throughout my whole body. l would have risen up, but the staring of my visitor made me displeased with her, l attempted again tn address her but my tongue was tied. certain unknown, mys- terious, irresistible power overpow' cred me. 1 was unable to do any thing more than stare at my appari- ton.
 By degrees the room became filled with remarkable light: the image herself luminous and bright. l now had the feeling of dying person. l could not think, reflect or move. l am only conscious of this fact, that l looked sternly on the vision.
 Here I heard voice saying, Son of the republic, look up and learn At the same time the figure stretched out her arm and pointed with finger east ward. Transparent clouds arose in the distance; and these lifting themselves, there was formed most astonishing 
 figure before me. Before me were spread all the countries of Europe, Asia and America. Between Europe and America 1 saw tremendous waves brandishing; and also between Asia and America. Again the voice repeat ed, Son of the republic look and learn. Instantly beheld darksome image, as an angel, poising between Europe and America. He dipped water with both hands, and with his right hand he poured it upon America and with his left hand on Europe. Ina moment black clouds arose between both coun- tries, which met upon the Atlantic. Here they tarried awhile, and then moved westward, and then covered the terra firma of America. Livld lightnings flashed through the dark clouds. I heard the deep groanings of the American people. Again the angel dipped and sprinkled water as before; then the dark clouds receded and sank back into the ocean. Now for the third time heard the voice, Son of the republic, look up and learn l looked up and saw in Ameri- ca populous towns and cities, and i'm provements spreading from the bor- ders of the Atlantic to the coast of the Pacific. Upon this the dark angel turned to the south, and l saw horrid grizzly spectre approaching from Afri- ca to our country. It moved slowly and heavilyo over towns and landsl The population now arose for war and paraded in battle array, one part against the other. As l contemplated this scene, discovered an Angel of

 American banner and he cried out, Remember you are brethren Inn mediately the armed hosts threw down their weapons, became friends and marshaled under the Star Span gled Banner.
 Again l heard the mysterious sound Son of the republic, the second dan ger is passed over; look up and learn And I saw towns and cities and fields increasing until the whole land was thickly covered from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and the people were as the stars of the Armament and the sands of the seashore-innumerable.
 Again l heard Son of the republic, the end of the century is approaching look up and learn.' Upon this the dark angel put trumpet to his mouth and blasted thrice and dipped water with his hands and poured it on America, Europe, Asia and Africa. Now my eyes beheld most terrible scene. From each of these countries arose black and heavy clouds which united in one great mass: through this there spread lurid llghtnings. ] beheld immense legions of armed multitudes marching and sailing to- ward America, and were soon envel- oped in the black clouds. And now l beheld how these immense armies wasted and burned our towns and cities. And now l heard the thunder of cannon the furious clash of swords, and the war shouts of millions en- countered in deadly strife. again heard the mysterous sound, Son Of the republic look up and learn Then the dark angel gave another long, loud and fearful blast. Now suddenly light broke forth and dispersed the black clouds from over the American cOun- try.
 then saw the angel with the glor- lous crown inscribed Union descend ing from heaven accompanied by le- gions of glorified spirits, having in one hand a sword and in the other the Star Spangled Banner, and these all associated with the American people who were nearly overwhelmed, but now inspired with new courage, and renewed the battle array.
 Now again amid the din of battle l heard the voice, Son of the republic look up and learn.' The dark angel after the report of this voice, for the last time dipped water and sprinkled it on the American continent, when the dark clouds with their armies rolled back instantly, leaving the glor- ious victory to the Americans.
 Then l saw villages, towns and cities and Improvements arise like magic, while the angel of light plant ed the Star Spangled banner amid the vast multitudes of people and CIltus AS lbilE dN ttlC obdlS VI lltaNCu endure and the dew falls upon the earth, so long shall the republic en- dure.' And while he set up the Star Spangled Banner the vast multitude, bending under it unitedly cried out, Amen.
 Now bv degrees the vision vanished and nothing but the mysterious and very beautiful female figure remained who once more aid, $ m of the repub- lie what thon has seen is thus to be expounded. Three great and danger ous calamities will come over this re- public; the second is the greatest. When this is overcome the whole world cannot conquer it.

wERRA HAD NO CHOLERA.
Passengers Taken from the Vessel
Doing Well.

QUARANTINE, S. l.. Sept. II, 1Sai-
| Health Officer Jenkins was seen this
morning in relstion to the woman passen
ger sent TO Swlnburne Island Hospital
from the steamer Werra, which ar
rived on the 10th from Genoa. He stated
that the patient had been taken Ill
during the vo! age with diarrhoea and
was so reported by the ships surgeon.
On investigation he found the diagnosis
to be correct but deemed it prudent to
transfer the patient to Swinburne ISL
and for observation. She was reported
much improved last evening and will
probably be discharged within a few
days.
The passengers were greatly dscon-
certed when informed that they would
in all probability have to be held in Quar-
antine for even a day. The Health Of
ficers had long paiaver with the ships
officers and the 167 passengers fumed and
fretted Finally Dr. Jenkins decided that
he could with safety allow the vessel to
pass. First, however, he took off the
six sick steerage passengers He took
them down to Hoffmans Island where
painstaking examination was made,
The physicians diagnosed every case as
diarhhoea.
The Werra left Genoa on August so.
As there has been no cholera in that city
the officers and surgeons were greatly
puzzled when, about nine days out,
man and a woman in the steerage were
taken i'll with what seemed to be cholera.
The cases were violent. The surgeon.
however, diagnosed the cases as a diff
ferent illness entirely. He felt that il
could hardly have been cholera, since it
developed after they had been out five
days, an unusual occurrence.
Then another woman and three chill
dren were affected. The news of these
sicknesses spread to the cabin, but did
not cause much uneasiness.

who were dropped from the union because
they went back to work, so the strike COM

RECKLESS DESTRUCTION OF SALMON

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. IL, 1s94.-H. G.
Beeton, Agent General of British Columbia
has forwarded all the correspondence to the
Board of Fisheries relating to the importa-
tion into Great Britain of Point Roberts
canned salmon with labels making it appear
that it was Fraser River salmon. The Brit
ish customs officers in London were of the
opinion that they could not make the can
ners change the labels. The Fisheries Com
mittee Board considered that the question of
salmon fishing at Point Roberts demanded
the attention Of the Government. They say
that the Government of the United States
might be disposed in favor of regulations to
prevent the destruction of salmon as it is
now carried on at Point Roberts, which
might result in preserving to a certain ex-
tent fishing on Fraser River.
