The demonstration occurred in the gov ernor’s reception-room In the capitol nt Atlanta, uud the possessor of the marvelous power was Miss Fannie Hes ter, of Greene county, Ga. The first experiment tried with tho young lady before Gov. Atkinson and his parly was with a silver dollar. This was placed near the palm of her hand, and tlie muscles immediately began to twitch and jump. Several of those present felt her hand, and noticed the strange pulsation. A large, round stick was then placed in her hand, and as long us it touched the palm it kept constantly in motion, whirling around with great rapidity. Several tried to push against her, but she could not be moved from her tracks. The governor's private sec retary, a strong, powerful young man. From Lockhart.

(guaranteedpurely vegetable ) is a rat blood remedy for blood diseases ani has no equal. Mrs. Y;T. Buck of Delaney, Ark., had Scrofula for twenV-five years and most of the time was uider the care of the doctors who could not relieve her. A ipecialist said he •ould cure her, but ie filled her with ffsenic and potash vhich almost ruined ler constitution. She tien took nearly every so-called blood nedicine and drank Uem by the wholesale, tut they did not reach ter trouble. Some <ne advised her to try S.S.S. and she very scon found that sie had a real blood remedy at last. Sh; says: "After tak ing one dozen botles of S.S.S. I am perfectly well, ny skin is clear and healthy and 1 would not be in my former Conditioi for two thousand dollars. Instead of trying upthepoison in my system, lik; the potasn and arsenic, S.S.S. drore the disease out through the skin, aid I was perma nently rid of it." jn, Avccii ajiolll ivemeay. S.S.S. never fails to cure Scrofula, Eczema, Rheumatism Contagious Blood Poison, or any disorder of the blood. Do not rely upon a sinple tonic to cure a deep-seated blood dscasc, but take a real blood remedy. Our books free upon appli cation. Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga.

Up to this time the greatest regular ity had been observed aboard the Vic- toiro, but the captain, noticing an uu- usual laxity cf conduct among the crew aud hearing them in their cups making use of blasphemous and profauc lan guage, justly attributed it to tho influ ence of tho Dutch prisoners aud deter mined to take measures to stop it. Ac cordingly he mustered all bauds to tha mast and addressed them as follows: “My men, before I had tho misfor tune to bring these Dutch prisoners on board l never was pained by hearing any of you use in vain tho name of your Creator. Lately I have often heard you indulge iu this sjm, which can prodneo neither profit nor pleasure and may bring down upon you a severe chastise ment If yon have a just idea of the great being, you will never mention his name without reflecting upon bis purity aud your own vileness. My own senti ments are that the Dutch have allured •you to a dissolute way of life in order that they may take some advantage over you, and I hereby give notice that the first Dutchman 1 catch with an oath in his mouth or liquor in his head I will bring to the gratings aud whip and pickle as an example to the rest of his nation. As to you, my friends and com panions, generous and noble souls whom I have the houor to ccmmaud, I admon ish you like a parent by reason of my office against the sin of intemperance, which damages your bodies, and the sin of profanity, which imperils your souls." It is hard for cno to realize that these words came from the lips of an avowed pirate, sailing under the black flag, iu the early part of tbo eighteenth century. His advice was followed, and both nations led thereafter a life of clean speech and temperance, tho Dutch in dread of punishment and the French to avoid offending “tho good captain," as they called their beloved Misson.— Harper’s Round Table.

Experiments were then tried with n chair, and although four men caught hold of it and attempted to keep it still. Miss Hester moved it easily in all di rections with one hand. Bhe seemed to use no exertion whatever, yet tho four men opposing her were powerless in resisting her. It was tha greatest dif ficulty to lift her from the Iloor, and when she stood on wood it was an im possibility to lift her feet more than an inch from the floor. In this respect Miss Hester’s abilities are very similar to the celebrated Lulu Hurst, but the magnetic palms arc a distinctive feature. Irish Iu tho Sixteenth Century, They live in huts made of straw. The men are all largo bodied, and of hand some features and limbs, and as active as the roe deer. They do not eat oftcucr than unco a day. and that is at night, and that which they usually eat is but ter with oaten bread. They drink sour milk, for they have no other drink; they don’t drink water, although it is tho best iu tho world. On feast days they cat some flesh half cooked, with out bn ad or salt, as that is their cus tom. They clothe themselves, according to their habit, with tight trousers and short, loose coats of very coarse goat’s hair. They cover themselves with blankets and wear their hair down to their eyes. They are great walkers and inured to toil. The most of the women are very beautiful, but badly got up. They do not wear more than a chemise and a blanket, with which they cover themselves, and a linen cloth, much doubled, over the head and tied in front. They are great workers and housekeepers, after their fashion.— From “Captain Cuellar’s Adventures In Connacht and Ulster. ’’ FIRST CLASS HEARSE I^OI* T Funeral Occasions. —o— Gentle Horses.
