Casting Out q Devil.

Mary A. O'Brist of this city, an in
valid for 30 years, unable to leave her
bed for II years and almost dumb for
IA years, now gets up, walks and talks.
Faith is said to have worked miracle
in her case. She prayed fervently. The
Rev. A. W. Welch and the Rev. U.
Develier, evangelists, went to her house
Thursday and again Saturday and
prayed for her relief. Saturday after
noon Miss O'Brist spoke, then straight
ened out her feet ana with joyful cry
walked across the room. All insisted
that their prayers had been heard and
answered Sunday the patient was up
and about the house and went an car
riage to the evangelists' tent meeting
in the afternoon. There was great ex-
citement ON Caroline street in the neigh
borhood of Miss O'Brist's little home.
When the evangelists came to the city,
they learned of Miss O'Brist's long con-
fnement. They suggested united ap-
peal to heaven, which was done, and ali
joined in fervent prayer for relief.
Come out of this woman, thou
devil, >" said the Rev. Mr. Welch final
ly, and Miss O'Brist, without previous
preparation, arose and walked about her
room Sunday evening she held an i'm
promptu prayer meeting on her front
porch. .-Janesville wis Cor. Chicago

TaxgatherIng In DIarocco.

The taxgatherer's chief instrument
In the east is the bastinado, a thick
bamboo stick laid across the naked soles
of the feet, the taxpayer being firmly
strapped to the ground, face downward,
and kept there until he has not only
yielded up all his income, but all his
principal likewise. AS Marocco owes
Spain 1000, 900 pesetas and mas begun
to pay them off, it is likely that the
whack Of the bastinado and the yelp of
the victim will now be heard in the
land from the headlands of Mequinez to
the ranges of the Atlas mountains and
throughout the provinces Of Figig and
Twat and Tidikelt and beyond, on des-
ert spaces, seen by the low necked camel
ON the verge as far as the dominions of

If the grand vizier were appealed to in
the case he would probably say that the
villagers thus entrested were dogs and
the sons of dogs, and that they could
not be persuaded to give up their money

great antiquity and seems more popular
among those who apply it than among
those to whom it is applied, but it is a

In Bed For Thirty Years.

Harriet Sackett, an eccentric maiden
lady, died at her home near Smiths
Mills on Sunday. Thirty years ago she
and her sister Julia, then young women,
went to bed and refused to get up.
They were cared for many years by
their mother, but she died, and then a
singular old man, distant relative,
waited upon them. Three or four years
ago he died, and Julia arose from her
bed and once more took up her house

Harriet became paralyzed, and one
side Of her body withered to skeleton.
She was always cold and insisted upon
being covered with everything availa.

her head and body.
On Sunday night while the thermom-
eter registered 80 degrees in the shade
she expired under a load Of furs and
bedclothes which was actually foot

and issued burial certificate. The sis

1t is our candid opinion on the mOrn-
ing OF July cath that we have not seen
the last Of the great political battle be-
tween the senators and the president.
We know not what a day may bring
torth. The party which the gentlemen
represent has hal its hopes ruined be-
oud resurrection. There is no purga.
ory IN politics by which it, affairs may
,e cleansed and made palatable to the
,eople for twenty years to come.
Another senator twitted Hill of New
York the other day with the suggee
ion that the country felt one conso-
ation-Cleveland had made it impos-
,ible to chose another Democratic presi-
lent from New York in the future.

Inion," was that audacious leaders re

3 sinking to the bottomless deep for
he seventeenth time In its history.
Sixteen times it was sent there by its
fools and its enemies. Now it goes
down, scuttled by its wisest leaders,
and they stand on its sinking decks
knitting each other to death.
The end is not yet Investigation of
the sugar trust discloses that the giant
refinery monopoly was concerned
about the senate amendments to the
tariff bill. The senators were un-
doubtsdly seen by other trusts and
protected combines. Blood may yet
flow. When one body of politicians
gets all the plunder and another body
OF the same party gets none there is al
wsys hard feelings. When there is
added to this hot weather, and hot
words, charges of improper motives,
and the high priest takes hand, blood
may flow. We may look for knock
downs and sassinations of more than
mere political regulations. If the pres
ident and senators live through it until
the child is born, the country will
breathe easier, and will take the dear
little free trade, protection monstrosity
to its bosom.
