CROSSING THE DIVIDE.


The story of the vision of So
phia Fowler as related by the
Minneapolis Tribune last week;
in which this twelve year old
9rl after passing through a
trance of five days duration
awoke to tell of a strange vision
that had came to her meantime
that would remind US of those
.that appeared to .Mohamet du-
ring his spells of epeleptic fits
preceding. his great career Of
conquest and immortal fame;
or later. the voices and visions
that had appeared to Joan Of
Arc at the opening of her
strange career. Miss Fowler
was transported through space
to a new heaven or q new earth
she could not tell which. She
found a happy, and progressive
people and only one place of
worship, in which all seemed to
attend. She saw great groves
of leafy trees in which dwelt
myriads of birds in beautiful
plumage. But she did not see
the golden streets that lure
and brace UP the hopes and Gu
pidity of the Christian, or the
smiles and glances of the bea u
tiful' houri who tempt the an
orous Mohometan.
And there is the case 'of Kid
ney recited some Ie&: ago to the
writer by Charles MAlnui the
veteran trader, SO years 1esi-
denter among the GrosVe4&rey,
who knew Kidney we'll and had
heard him relate his wonderful
journey to Spirit Land.
Up at old Berthold about 4O
years ago in the Gros Ventre
camp resided an old Indian
named KiAney. Now the old
man was Of the complaining
sort-was frequently sick, final
ly died and was decently laid
upon the buriel scaffold as. was
the custom in those days with
pipe and bowl, bow and arrows
