■ Back From Hoaveri d I TWIJtTT-rtV* MttttTTU. i ii I Thiro is one young lady. Miss Delia „ I Street, of Giles county, who claims to e I have "spread her white wings and sail- t; I ed over the sea" to the celestial city last ,| I March. The fact has not until the pres. „ I cnt time bocu in print nud would prob- r I ably never have been published had she 0 I remained in that lctargic country. „ I There have been at diffent times persons y. I who have made similar claims, bat the ,[ I public. Instead of listening to them with j, I , credulity, looked upon the claimants rather with commiseration and regarded the fervid accounts as the imagining of tl a diseased mind or perchance the pro- [, duct of a disordered liver. „ Miss Street is whet is knftwn u i , ! "country girl," and has not enjoyed the tl educational facilities of large cities, but | j, she Is lively and vivacious and in point t' of intelligence is the equal of those who , have, been raised under the same circum- ,, stances, but it is not reasonable to think . a person of such limited advantages „ could unasslted describe anything In at ^ glowing language as she does. It can- d not be said thai she is more observant j, than bcr asssciates and displays wbidom , begotten of years of experience, for sbe R Woman boon and jlrinood n«i. o Her description of the heavenly Jem- n salcm, which is vivid, is reduced to n writing and is offered in girlish diffidence d and youthfnl Innocence. It is clothed * r in the most elegant and chaste language, p . and describes a county more glorious g than any upon which the feet of fancy 8 hare ever trod, and bears the imprint of d a superior mind. There are coincidences connected with this case that challenge b attention and show there was a power V greater than the finite Involved. g About the first of February of the cur w rent year Mist St reel Informed her par- oi ents that on the 27th of March following at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the would be taken violently 111; that she would grow worse until the following' at nine fl o'clock p. m.. at which time she would " . (lie and remain in a slate of death for f twenty Tire minutes, and that during h . the period of suspended animation she D would visit that "home not made with si hands, eternal in the heavens." She n asked her father not to tend for doctors, 0 t ss humsn Instrumentality could not pre- •] l vent her Journey to Paradise, and also o told him not to be alarmed, declaring U r with implicit confidence that after en- '< - during the sling of death for twenty -five D minutes her mortal and immortal na- N tures would reunite and she would again 1 become a living soul. " N 1 about the idol of their fireside and"b^ » gas to think that her reason was abdi- H r eating its throne. On the arrival of the * - day on which she announced she would 0 be taken ill they evinced great solid- i' tude, inquiring hourly as to her condL U tion. Sbe answered cheerily and cootinned to admonish them not to be a > alarmed. The hands of the dock toOed h around until 4 was finally reached, and I1 to the girl's parents thev never seemed tl » to move to rspldty. WhOe the time- , i pirce was upoff the stroke of the hour, ,. the young lady was prostrated with . sicknem and violent pains racked her 1 body. Despite her ectnaties-the father ® s^^^^rithlrei^phywldani, who reidy g ■« and at » o'clock on the S8th they pro. ■ nonilM4Blfi*xttaet. Thesicknem and v

occurred as she had predicted, | aud in time so did the resusdtation. ; , Die father remembered the declaration ! she wonld return to life and looked at the clock, and lo ! the pendulum liad cea-ed to vibrate and the old timepiece 1 | that had for years faithfully tolled off ' j hours had stopped while upon the ] stroke at 0. When the girl relumed to 1 , consciousness the clock started of its j , accord, finished striking the hour i | and has run since without interruption. ] , By reference to the watch of one of the '< , it was found that she bail been | _ intenaible — shall we say dead ? — for 1 t twenty-five minutes. After the return of animation her j | was paralyzed and she indicated j , signs that writing material was ] , wanted, which was provided and she i , wrote letters which (he says were dicta- I ted by Christ, and description previous- j , I referred to. The whole covers nine- , 1 teen pages of foolscap paper. She says she Is commissioned to read her maun- ( script wherever sbe goes. j ■ While in the homo of the blest she , was asked by a woman to write, after , returning to earth, to her gTeat- grand- , Sirs. Annie B. Sheiton. of f Klnterbush, Sumter county, Alabama, ; and tell her how anxiously her great- ] grandame awaited her coming. Our in- , formant is not positive as to the cor- ( rectness of these names, but thinks that , of the old lady was Mrs. Annie Bel- j mont, who said ahe had been dead j nlnety-five years. By wri.ing to the adthe girl gave it was learned that a 1 of that name had died In that , place U, 1792 and that she had a greatgranddaughter resident there. Miss 1 says she will be told in 1889 the of her death.

Tlic Boston Ktwrd tells of a young man in that city who had been prominent in the lyceums and semi-secret societies, and whoso strongest point, his friends thought, was the very natural and easy way In which he grasped parliamentary usage, recently began study, ing for the ministry, and progressed so that he was invited to take charge, a certain Snnday, of the services in subuiban church, where the minister gone on his vacation. "He'll be a shining light, without a doubt," said his friends. But somehow when the young man to get up in the church to open the services, he felt himself all at sea. and didn't know' what in the world to do. 8o he provided for all possible contingencies by Inviting one of the deacons ait up in the pulpit wilh him, where could bo on hand to prompt him if knotty question arose. After the young student bad pronounced the Ihvocation, and the choir had got np of its own motion and sung a voluntary, and a chapter of the Bible been read, the young man turned a uneasily to the deacon. "Hymn 499." whispered the deacon. The young man rose again with great confidence and said: "It is moved and seconded that hymn 499 be now sung. As many as are in favor of the motion will signify by aye." An awe-struck silence fell upon the congregation. "Contrary minded said the "presidofficer." "It is a voto," he went on. The hymn waa sung, and the services proceeded from that point liko clockwork. It was evident that the young pariiamenUrisu felt lliq ground firm

le The Potent Steam Whistle. '■ STANLEY AND OTIIEH EXTLOItERH SCARING .. When a traveler takes a steamboat for l the first time upon an unexplored river ' he usually finds that the whistle is bs potent as a howitzer would be in kecpd ing unfriendly natives at u respectable 0 distance. The cable Informed us rccentj ly that when Stanley reached the big town of Yambungn. Arawimi River, the village was depopulated in a twinkling by a blast from one of bis steamboat whistles. When they found that nothing had hurt them, however, they tame back. The scare thejl got may ' accounted for the friendly reception they gave Stanley. When he visited 1 this town several years ago the people r would not sell him a particle of food. They had abundance, as ho waa able to i. ascertain, though they pleaded that they B woie in a slurring condition. This time, s however, they sold him plenty of eata1 hies, Bnd'did what they could to speed Nothing impresses a savage more than I a big noise, and nothing inspires him " with greater terror than a noise he does ' not understand. Baron Von Sehwcrin " says that firearms are chiefly useful to • the Congo natives for the noise the? can make with them. lie thinks the native " with a gun in bis hand is not half so " much to he feared as when he is armed • with his lance. Flintlock muskets and i. gunpowder are two leading articles of . import into the Congo region, but as yet the natives use them merely to contribII uto a regular Fourth of July racket |o '• all festive occasions. Whole kegs of gunpowder are sometimes burncu to celebrate a victory in war or the advent of a new chief. Sometimes the wretched guns burst, to the great personal inK jury of the men who handle them, hut i- these tragic incidents do not shako the ,- nativeTuU) tn the white man's shooting iron as, on the whole, a very innocent and inoet enjoyable plaything. 11 But these puffing steamboats that are r- evidently IhiDgs of life are great sources r. of terror on first acquaintance, and when the strange swimming monsters emit an earthly shriek everybody within hearing '• feels that it is high time to take to the n woods. Grenfetl„Wolf, and other Congo x cmplorers, triumphantly proved the efficacy ot the steam whistle on occasions when the natives were determined to be hostile at short range; and when Capt. Evorill asceodcd the Fly River in n New Guinea two years ago, meeting many unfriendly tribes, a blast from his steam whistle was usually enough to • cause a let up in the showers of arrows 3 that everywhere greeted him. ' The Verdict Unanlmoua, W. D. Suit, Druggis[, Bippus, Ind. , ® testifies: "I can recommend Electric r bitters as tho vqiy best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured [ of Rheumatism of 10 years standing." 1 Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio, t affirms: "The best jelling-mediclne I i ever handled in my 80 years' experience Ii Electric Bitters." Thousands use others "have added their testimony, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitten do cure all diseases of the . Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at Dr. H. A. Kennedy's | Drug Store. 8 "Jimraie. what are you throwing . those batter beans away for?" asked a Southslde mother of her little fotrr-year. old. "I ain't fro'ln 'em away. I'm i plantin"em."
