(Si'ociO it tho Now Yut'.: World.) NABU VILLE, Tenn., September '2M. - . Tho remarkable gubernatorial CHU vas? in Tennessee lins made thc participants in it the most prominent men in the State at tho present time. Robert and Alfred Taylor aro tho two oldest sons of thc Hov. N. (i. Taylor, an old and well known minister of tho Northern Metho dist church, who has lived tho greater part of his lifo in thu extremo north western counties of tho State, and been actively engaged in farming and preach ing. Ho is a pronounced prohibitionist, but only stepped into politicsolico, when ho was elected to Congress from the drat district, and succeeded by Hodoriok Random Butler. He lias siuoo lived quietly, and neighbors tell of ?lim that ho docs less preaching during an off year than when one of bis sous is running for office. P diort and Alfred are both 'men of stalwart mould and goo 1 intellect. Physically, they aro botli striking, both heavily built, but "Hob" is fully t ight inches biller and of much more com manding presence. Their bends ure largo and well made, and set firmly on thoir shoulders. Alf is of very stocky build, and not much over live feet, while hi? Democratic brother will measure fully six feet, and weighs considerably over two bundled pounds. Tho oven of both are black, those of Hob fad of lire and sympathy, while those of Iiis broth er aro moro quiot and less piercing. Their complexions aro tho same, swarthy, but tho character of each face is given it by tho eyes. In disposition they di flor greatly, AH being phlegmatic and thoughtful, while his elder brother is lymphatic, magnetic, fond of telling jokes, of which he has a groat stock, always being allic to knock out argument with a funny story. "LIiis makes bim the more popiuar ol tho t wo, regardless of party affiliations, i lis iu* fluonco over the crowd is wonderful, and his election to Congress in a strong Uo pubUcan district, which nev? r before or since sent a Democrat to Congress, is still Udked of as the time whoii "bob" Taylor fiddled his way into Congross. Roth brothers are accomplished fiddlers and already fiddlers aro beim; brought in as a post-oratorical amusement for thc curious crowds that gather al eut them. Until yesterday tho speaking has been in Republican strongholds, but at Tulla* homa thc first D?mocratie stronghold was af saul ted io East Touncssco. both were treated with the utmost courtesy. Yesterday, however, there was HOU10 dis position to guy tim Republican candi date, whioh the Democratic brother silenced .ty rising and saying: "Tho mau that insults my brother insults me." At MoMinnville to-day they wore greeted by tho largest audience ever gathered in Warren county! and wc ru listened to with the utmost, ai tuition. Partisans of each bud made tho most ox* tensive arrangements for tho reception, and the opposing cavalcades formed und escorted tho brothers to til*- hotel. Roses, red and white, Wore worn by everybody in McMinnvillo. lt is strange, by tho way. that the white rose bas be oomo tho Democratic emblem. A pecu liar characteristic of the brothers would Boom to dictate tho reverse. AH men tioned, both have swarthy complexions, bOtli aro extremely sensitivo, but when sensitiveness ii touched they aro affected exactly opposite, bob turns red, fiery red, in thc face, while Alt gets ashy palo when wounded ?ir angry. l.a?t night, for tho second time during Uv? canvass, they slept under di li?rent roofs. This was due to arrangements made by thc respective committees of reception. Tlicy both arose ? arly this morning. Alf took a spin of three miles into thc country before breakfast, while Hob sauntered out into tho grounds of the hotel, and finding a retired seat under a spreading maple surrendered himself to tho carly morning air. A few mun?tes and Alf ?pod by behind a fast stepping trotter. "Hello, Alf," exclaimed Bob. "Hello, Hob," exclaimed Alf, as tho lle publican disappeared around tba corner. After a leisurely breakfast tho brothers hold an informal reception, and at ten o'clock boarded the train for MoMinn ville, occupying tho same seat and de bating ann in arm. They glanced over tho morning papers. At every station a crowd was augmented by excursions, and by tho time the train arrived at Mor rison every scat was occupied. The in tense interest which tho campaign has excited manifested itself all along the lino. Curious countrymen, eager to seo tho brothers, peered through tho car windows at every station, while tho plat forms at tho denota were packed wilb partisans w ho encored their respe ct ive candidates. Hob was now enjoying his stronghold and his name was on many ups. The peculiar ontlniHi'U.m this man arouses manifested itself at every tum. It is spontaneous, irrepressible and remarka ble, without parallel in tho history of Tennessee. Tho features of this novul and great dobate, for great it hos l>een ianthe fullest sense of tho word, Hashes from town to town with lightning rapidi ty, in no MOtioil has this been more strikingly demonstrated titan in tluit which thc brothers are now traversing. Doniocrata aro excited to fever heat OVO" tho brilliant campaign of their leader, tho fomo of which lia? found its way to other States. Republicans and Demo orats agree that never have Republican doctrines rceoivod a better exposition than is modo by Alf Taylor. Tho duel of brothers grows mor* ex citing, but is still upon tho brood plane of principio, not personality. At Mor rison three Democrats, fresh from then country homes, walked np to tho Demo cratic leader and presented hun with garlands of wild flowers, daises and roses blending with violets and holia tropo. Hob waa tenoned by tho tribute, and with "Hod bless yon," bade them farewell. Ho framed a butt^nnier from tho blossoms and wo'o it at MoMinn At 12a% the party arrived at MoMinn ville A magnificent reception awaited tho Democratic nominee. Dem?crata shouted t'joittselvos hoarse at i:lio pros euee ot* their young leader. Tlmy rushed into Uro car and half overpowered him. Tliey cheered him and patted him on the shoulder. They called him "Dob" and called 1dm Governor, and half pulled and halt' carried him out upon tho plat form, where was a struggling ma?? seeking tc. speak to him. Finally tho procession Conned, and through tho streets to tins hotel it was a triumphal march. Tho speaking was well attended, mid both attracted the favorable comments of their partisans. No now points wcro devel oped by either. At Dayton, in lihou county, which is decidedly close ou a full vote, hundreds turned out to give tho rival brothers an ovation. Dob Taylor woro tho white rose and Alf tho ml. Tho cue has been caught np from place to place, and now a man's politics may be seen by the color of the rose or rosette which adorns tho lapel of his coat. It is a reminder of the contests of tho houses of York ami Lan caster, only in this ease tho single house of Taylor is involved. The gallant Dob, besides this decoration, looms up con spicuously in his now famous white felt bat. lt goes faithfully with him every where and shines fort li prominently as tho white plume of King Henry of Navarre before tho battling French host? at lvry. - - * H?MK.V AH KAiniKUH. A Kow ut Them W ho An-. Succeeding In Agrt vulture lu tho South, (From tho Philadelphia Timm.) It is not tu the Wost alone that women are successful as farmers. In tho South they are engaging in this business, and some are doing well. At A-, in my own county, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, at least four ladies aro en gaged in agriculture, and if they are not growing rich in th OSO days of low prices, each is making a g.ood living in an inde pendent way and doing quito as well a* her neighbors, the gentleman farmers around lier. Throe of theso ladies ari w idows, living in Hu: country that they nmy raise their children away from tilt temptations and confinement of lite ii town. The hu. ,band of one of them died in debt, but ti m earth had not sottlec above him bet ?re his brave little wif( had resolved to keep the farm and try h pay that money, and in eight years, bj close management, she has done it am now bas the place ami thc stock clear and under her ca re her boy and girl an growing nj* in health and usofuluoss 01 it. Another has been a willow u longe limo; from the farm which her husbnut left sim has educated hor children, givillf them advantages beyond the publii schools of tho country, built an excel lent house, improved tho land, and nov with ono of tho most desirable places ii tbe neighborhood, as ag?: creeps on, sin is resting somewhat, wdiile tho son whom she has reared cultivate the land and one daughter has charge of tho dnir and another tho poultry. " they bav managed as well, if not botter, than Hud husbands possibly could have done" bc illg the verdict of the entire neighboi uood. Another of these women fanner has never married. When, her parent died, leaving to their six daughters bu one small farm, she, then in very earl womanhood, instead ol' selling out am taking her youngor sisters to town t learn trades or stand in stores, and s become more easy victims to tho coi sumption ol' which their parents ha died, bravely took up the burden c managing tho farm and keeping them o it, and bras ely has she succeeded; an now when most ol' them arc undid wiv< in other homes, she still lives lu bonn i Comfort at the old place, keeping il li reside bright for those: of her BlstOI who, by reason of widowhood or otlu changes, may wish to como back to i Did tho motlier of the t?raeohi OCCOn plish mon:? While these women all gi\ their personal attention lo the details i their business, and attended to poultr and dairy themselves, they have not a (empted tho cultivation of the land, ?I pending on hired labor to do tba Doubtless they have many cares an auxilies, know many a weary hour; ht in what way cana support bu made wit! out oaroand weariness, especially if tho* should be children to raise?

All through Southern Marylai and Virginia, indeed all of the Southe States, is much land which can bought very low, many places wi buildings on them. It is true when t prico is low tho land is gonendly th and thc buildings out of onlcr; but t land im j troves readily under kind trei mont, and whitowush and a gcuci cleaning up soon make a wondro change m a neglected old placo, as know from pei.-.onaI experience. Tb( places are inviting fields for fruit a Vegetable raising, dairying, IJOO a poultry keeping or general farming, a already tho advauee guard of tho Wom farmer is on tho ground and at work. In addition to tboso mentioned tin is a widow over in Dorchester who 1 planted her land in pooch trees and said to be reaping a good iucomo fr< it. Further up tho peninsula are t unmarried sisters, who aro known peach farmers. Down in Homorset tb Indies, who lovo flowers, aro raisi roses a.'d oilier plants for salo, ll doubtless many others all through South aro making a support from lai I noticed in a bite paper tho adverb mont of a lady in Virginia who baa Oj for salo.

Those who havo not lovo and flti for it will 1)0 very apt to fail, just many mon who attempt it fad; but tl who read "Farmer "Finch" in one of year's Harper's have seen how ?ho i eccded on tho fow acres when her father hod fjiilcd, and HO I believe that ninny women oro OK well suited for Ulis coiling na tho majority of men who engage in it. ..For better," soya a liberal-minded niau former in our midst? "Hbo is more ofroid of debt. Hbo lias not the same temptations to spend money outside of honio. Sho is not so easily discouraged. Slio bettor knows how to economize in little things, and then you know when a Woman wills sho Will." To these requi site qualities wo must odd strength of C-hnractor and love of home. Jf she have all these, and feels that she would like to try the farmer's life, thou lot her como to our Southern land, if she so wills, and buy only what she eau pay for. Far better only livo acres all paid for, and witJi something to improve it, thou two hundred, with a debt banging over it. Indeed, 1 om inclined to think the "lit tle form well tilled" is tho right thing for thc South ot present, especially for the i woman fariner, who comes herc from other sections. She moy not grow rich 08 fast os ber sister who goes West. In deed, I doubt if she ever will bo rich, as the world thinks of riches; but she may know abundantly the true lifo of one's own vine and fig tree, nuder softer skies and o milder clime, where oil the rotes Ol living are lower than North or West, and she can have the comfort of near neighbors, schools and churches. Uer lifo will lie in quiet ways; but if she sot tho example of a carefully managed busi ness, a well-ordered home, o well-trained family-if under her care neglected fields be slowly changed to blooming orchards, or fragrant clover lands, while over ber home roses and vines clamber, and ber bees drone, and her busy hens sing through thc long summer days, she moy well feel that sho is of use in her day and generation ; as surely a public benefactor as ho who makes two blades of gross grow where only one grew be fore, u.

My guide pointed out some, relics as WO passed along and we crossed the straggling thoroughfare and descended a gentle declivity, at tho foot of which bobbled a little stream. Wo halted in front of a little one-story house. A Vir ginian creeper mingled its vivcd green with tho mildewed white paint. Over tho door my eyes saw a legend on an old piece of pointless beard, which wes all sprung-omi weather-beaten. Some strag gling, old-style letters, scarcely dcciph- ! embie in their faded blackness, met my go/.o. Only three words, but those three words had once convulsed a hemisphere. They were, an embodiment of possibili ties; on epitome of the power of intel lect over surroundings; n story of match less powor, and a perishing record of imperishable brilliancy. This simple | legend was as follows: "A. Johnson, Tailor." Tho lettering is nido and was evident ly dono in pay for a pair of jeans made by the tailor- President for tho village sign writer; indeed, tho village tradition runs, to that effect. Here at that very window tho humble tailor sot sewing. when his townsmen came, in lS'J.S, to apprise him that the signal honor of be ing Alderman at Qrccuvillo had been given to bim by his appreciative fellow - citizens. No need to further trace tho ; career of tho illustrious Andrew John- '? son, seventeenth Prosidontof the United Stoics. Tho old house is in good repair, '' kept so by the .Mayor of tho city, and the villagers have a thousand traditions , and anecdotes to relate about tho house and its distinguished occupant, one of whioll will serve to close with.

MATTHUS Ol' 1.1% KLY I.WI?ttEbT TO IHK VAUX t-'.-'.X. Novelties In Hot?, and Odd \ <?? Becoming Bon? nnta-Something \t-\v ?II Skirting, Bte? New goods for early foll wear con tinue to be displayed daily and prosont a number of novel fabrics, sonic of wbiob aro as brilliant in color shadings as the richest tints.seen in tho autumnal foliage. In all wool fid a ies many quiet, tones aro shown, varying with stripes with dashes of color. In Paris plaids and checks promise to bo the latest choice to com bino with plain materials, but here stripes appear to bc thc most popular. One striking feature in the fall modes is tho extreme "mannishness" displayed in the styles. This is not altogotlu r new, but this season promises to bo carried to a greater extreme than ever before. The question of bcconiingUOS8 to the wearer is not considered. Fashion is so potent that then? is rarely any discrimination exercised in thc choice of what to wear. However, if tho style is antagonistic to a refined and conservative taste, it ia a trille modified if countenanced. Au admixture of tints is to bo decided ly fashionable this coming season. By slow degrees the universal adoption of black and dark tones is being j^iven up, which has mude so many sociul gather ings of late years so gloomy of aspect. K.\e. lieut coloring is displayed in course intoxicated basket cloths-black, white, n d and brown intermixed-and in the Alexandra cloths with boucle stripes red, yellow, blue ?md red, Hooked. Other woolens are in plain colors and also with tufted stripes, which, placed horizontal ly and perpendicularly, form a check. Then there are cloths with spots botweon tho stripes. Plain material cornea in thc same shade to combine with these in costumes. Zebra cloth is solid, plain and striped in such mixtures as gray and blue, blue brown and green. Parisian fashions have always a cerhdn following, so some tweeds havo been brought out with large plaids of blue, brown and red. Serge, which has hitherto been con sidered a plain material, is now advanced to n decorative fabric, with broad velvet and chenille stripes. A very beautiful cloth displayed is of a petunia shade, willi a very broad stripe, quite a quarter of a yard across, in plain and fancy frisso velvet, showing convolvuluses in shades of petunia (a red purple) with leaves twining around stripes of a dark and light tone. This material is vory costly, and only appropriate for a handsome carriage of visiting toilette. WHAT'S HEW IN BKIRTINO, li is always difficult to lind anything new in skirting, but tito winter petticoats wili be remarkable for their brilliant coloring. The perpendicular stripes are two inches wide, in red, yellow, black, white and gray. Some ol these have a bili' of hcrring-bono weaving beside each ?.tripe in yellow. ?Most luxurious are thc cardinal satin petticoats, lined with flan nel, with a very little eiderdown between the two thicknesses, These are ex quisitely quilted ill line diamonds with a handsome border, the edge finished by a pleating of satin. Pure woolen fabrics in shades ol' leath er and biscuit, with tiny spicks in a darker color, form some of the prettiest demi-saison co tunics; the skirt is pleated in rather \sido box pleats, each ono orna mented ?it the edge with an applique em broidered design ol Indian or Persian diameter. Tho costume is completed by ?i tunic and jacket, or by a polonaise fastened diagonally from the left shoul der under a band of applique embroide ry, continued round thc right side, which is draped like a rounded panier. The left side forms a long tunic draped with pleats under thc embroidered b;i.id edging the right side, and failing in a long point a little to the left of the centre, and draped again far bock on thc left hi]> under a bow of wide ribbon. The back breadths form a pleated ?mil puffed drapery, bordered down the sides and ronna the edge with au embroidered applique band. Many novelties are daily appearing in millinery, each now bonnet or hat being more CCCClltrio than its predecessors, for odd styles are certainly the most popular at present. The latest Parisian novelty is Hie "pine cone" hat, in perfect imita tion of a gigantic fir cone. This hat is always trimmed with ostricli plumes or tulle of the hue of the pines. Many of tho prettiest bonnots are composed of crepo; even those intended for tlie win ter season are composed of this fragile material. Of course they have an inner lining of thin silk and will bc reserved more especially for evening, altcrnoon teas and reception wear. RKO TUB FAVOBITB COI.Oll. lied is a favorite color for everything. lt lias been popular in Paris for thc past six months and now promises to be equally fashionable here. It requires timo for Americans to become accus tomed to decided novelties, but when they do the extreme of using colors promiHOUousiy is generally adopted and this will likely provo tho case with the bright color that is popular; beautiful and stylish as it is if worn with discre tion. A rod bonnet, made of crepe, has a Haring brim standing up well above tho face, witli a wreath of poppies be neath it. Tito trimming upon tho out side consist? of a ladder uv. one side mm le of iicarl-edged ribbon. Chonillo is applied in various ways. Many wiro bonnets aro covered with chenille of different colorings, twisted in mid out, tho fronts pointed, tho backs turned back. ;Astraehan bonnets arc new and will bo in demand-not made of fur, but of imitation woolen Astrachan in all colorings. Thoso all havo tho plain turn-back coronet. Tho great novelty of tho moment is that bonnets are modo of two colors. For oxnmplc, a rod crown, with bluo sii>s and the turncd-l>aok ooronot bluo. Tho color ings in thia kind of bonnot aro princi pally brown and green, brown and red, brown and boigo. llorseshoo sunken crowns aro, as for as can bo seen nt pros ont, likely style of tho coming season. Tho ribbon is folded and crossed over this crown, coming forwnrd to form tho strings. Many of the new felt hats have high-pointed or square orowns bound with volvot, a how tied in thc: front. A NOVEL UONNET. A novel bonnet is tnodo of gray vel vet, of the Bbudo resembling au ole pbont's fur; the crown ?S COVerod with ?Liver braid, gradually shading <>iv to tho Miine coloring a? tko velvet; tho front stands up very high, and is decorated with a large hunch of pink azaleas, strings of tulle tho same shade i s the (lowers. A stylish bonnet is made of black beaded tulle, with very high coronet; in front a high bow ol' red velvet, with a largo bunch of red and black cl 1er ri OJ and foliage falling over it; beaded tulle strings, fastened with a handsome jot pin. Steel, gold and black beads aro fash ionable in fringes us well as embroidery; gold beads especially are bl favor for dresses and small vestments. One ,,f these, of gray cloth, has tho (rollar cov ered with a fringe? of line gold beads, ami thc whole of the plastron is coven d with gold-bead friugo, Head ombroidcry is used for ovorythbig, tho plain and colored bonds both being used, tho effect in many and in tact most casca being gorgeous. Passementerie corscli ts are to he a feature ol' tia- coming season; theso aro exquisitely beautiful, and cor respondingly extravagant in prie'. I ; i l > hons form un important part in trim ming; bows aro used upon everything, and an ontiro trimming six inches wide is made to edge evening and dinner cos tumes, formed of very narrow ribbon, Uko a bobbin, loop upon loop, making n thick mass. Rosettes are made of tin; same ribbon, to correspond. DRESS TRIMMINGS. Hands of otambic, embroidered in cross-stitch with silk, are employed in trimming matinee and morning dresses made of surah and foulard; revers col lars and cull's are embroidered to corre spond with tho bands and form a very ptotty trimming. Lace of ntl kinds is extensively used for trimming. Lace embroidered with gold bullion is very elegant to trim dinner and OVOIling dresses of black lace, silk or satin. Vel vets for trimming ure strewn with tiny Howers in bright colors. Galloons and braids of all kinds aro the most fashionable trimmings. They arc plain or heavily beaded. Complete sets of tho beaded ornaments are made to correspond for trimming panels, vi st. cull's and collar. Thc weight of 801 IC of these, if elaborate, is truly appalling. Natural fir cones, very small, ave inti duccd as pendants oil jot galloon; goal is also used with jot. lt, however, must bo of tho very finest quality, or it has a common, tawdry appearance Fringe of silver-gray seeds mixed with stool beads and ornaments to correspond are shown to use upon gray wraps. Tiloso aro new, stylish and very expensive Large steel, gold or jet balls aro worn on tho ends of ribbon bows. Wuedo gloves still continue fashiona ble When will glace kid glove.-, return to favor? Suede is vory well lor morn ing wear, but certainly glace hid . inks better for dressy costumes and evening wear; but fashion is a stern autocrat and must bo obeyed, so no chango is yet to bc made. Thc tan color ol' thc kid is yet tho first choice, but btaek and vari ous shades, matching tho costume with which it is to be worn, are shown Cor those who prefer a match to ll contrast. Four-button gloves aro tho length mot>t used for general wear. For ev. liing tho length of the gloves and number of but tons is regulated by the purse of the owner. There is a slight disposition to usc some of thc palo tints so long dis carded, as well as tho tan sliadi s. Stitch ing black and colors is seen on many of the new gloves. A VVAH.M.VU TO ; l> I A I oil?.. The ejection of the sister, and grand- . m ices of the late Mr. Tilden from ("nay- ? stone by the executors of his peculiar will is probably only tho l?- inning of a long series of events bordering upon scandal to result from that document. While there can he nu doubt that tho executors are wit bin their legal powora and perhaps their legal duties in order ing Mrs. Polton and children of that lady's son to lind another placo of abode on live days' notice, millier call there be any doubt that in consideration ot' tho tragic rotations of thc late Colonel Pi ttoil to Mr. Tilden (which ure public and notorious) such a collision i. one greatly to bo deplored and should have been avoided if possible. The truth is, that Mr. Tildon's will wa? tho crowning example of n procrasti nation which always perplexed and of ton alienated his associates, both in business and in politics. He possessed a mind of extraordinary ingenuity, capable of pro found thought and intricate plotting, but sadly lacking in executive determi nation at critical uiomonts for notion, He planned a b?n?ficient disposal of the bulk of his great property for public uses, but never was resolute enough to put tho plan bim self into oporation, and died shifting it to the discretion of three gentlemen, whom he took especial pains to fortify against own kindred, but took no pains to constrain to carry out his purpose at any definite time or in any definite way. Thc subject is a fair one for public, comment and criticism, in consideration of those uses declared in the will in which the public has a distinct interest to the amount of several million dollars, although there may bo may bo no legal means of enforcing that interest. lt adds another to tho innumerable warn ings to men of gnat property and benevolent intentions to cfo their good works "while it is yet day" and they em themselves supervise tho execution of their project?.-N.

JUDUH POLAND AM? I HK DRINKS. Senator Blackburn Made o Mistake, bul Reell? lied ll In Tillie. (National Republican.) No member ol' Congress of recont yours was bettor known to tho gnllories than Judge Poland, of Vermont. Tho blue press coat with brass buttons which ho wore made bim conspicuous among Iiis colleagues. Ho is above tho avorago stature; bis features are as clear cut as a cameo, with an expression of severity that milks bis humor and good naturo. His general appearance, dignified bear ing and correct manners convey the idea that he is ono of tho most straitlaced of men. Senator Blackburn tells a good story that illustrates thc. manner of man Judge Poland is. Poland and Block - burn were members of tho House during tile Forty-eighth Congress. Ono day some friends of Blackburn while on tho way to tin1 Congressional to obbiin liquid refreshment mot the Kentucky member as he was passing across tho hall of tho House, and invited him to join thom. "Wait a minute," said Blackburn, "un til I speak to Judgo Poland, and I will join you." "Bring tho Judge with you," said one of the party. "Judgo Poland never drinks," raid Blackburn. At this some of Iiis friends laughed, and ono ro plicd, "You don't know tho man; ask liim to join us." Blackburn repaired to Polands scat, transacted his business and then invited him to join thc party. Poland accepted, much to tho surprise and gratification of Blackburn, and as they were proceeding to join tho party who bad preceded them, Blackburn in formed tho Judge of tho conversation here related. Poland, without changing bis countenance, suki: "I don't kuow why you should entertain such an opin ion of me, and yet I am not surprised, as many men have heretofore acton upon tho same belief, and in consequence of this erroneous belief I have lost many good drinks in my time." From tliat timo forward Poland never missed a drink when Blackburn and ho woro where drinks could bo obbiincd. Religious. Madness, nial Murder. A painful case of religious madness analogous to one that happened lust year near Melbourne has just taken place in in the Ilautes Alpes, near Briauoon. Two sisters, named Marie and Catherine ( Magner, aged respectively 17 and 15, iived there on thc kindest terms on a lit tle property which they had inherited, Tiley bad also a sum of lO.OOOf., wbicli was well invested. They were botli noted for their piety, and had a profound belief in miracles and thc supernatural. Lust Monday morning Cotkoriue told Marie that she had bad a vision in tho night in which God appeared to her and demanded a proof of her obedience in sacrificing ber sister. Morie lent herself to this idea, which did not appear to hor at all strange. Ho after devoutly bear ing mass on Tuesday morning she carno home to prepare herself to be a sacrifice. Catherine got a sharp razor and out with it into each of the arms in front of tho elbow and into tho instep of each foot. Tim victim kept repeating, "Jesus, Marie, my kopo, my Saviour!" Cathe rine then collected thc blood to dry it and keep it as a relic. When Marie was lifeless her sister dressed the corpso in white ami went with thc will of tho de funct to a notary, to whom she related what she bad d< Hie. Sin: also said that in obedience to God's command she hod burned all thc debentures and scrip be longing to her sister. Tho number of these bad been, however, given to tho notary by Marie.
