BLACKtuuma, Feb. 2.—Last Sunday
morning the citizens of Blacksburg
awakened to find a slight snow fall
ing, which increased by noon, but
not enough to fairly cover the ground.

A strange exhibition of n wonderful
power yu 8 recently given iu the pres
ence of (Jov. W. G. Atkinson, of Georgia.
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.

A Moral Tirato.
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.—

back, but could not move her.
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.—
