REMARKABLE SEANCE AT ONSET The niiostoP Dcnil Illvcr Swninii Pur sued liy Ills Granny's ( Jliost fllcn , AVotiicn anil Plncca Ilntititotl by S Tlic Oliost ! ' Dead Itlvcr Swamp. New York Sun , The mystery of the Demi River swamp has boon cleared nway. For n year past the people in that neighborhood have boon terrified by tlio appearance after nightfall of a weird object near tlio public roud in the swamp. Travelers gave evidence that after night at a certain point on the road a llguro dressed in white appeared and moaned plteously as it crouched beside - side the road. Incitement ran so high that no ono could bo induced to travel- the road after night. Tlio negroes ) who lived near by left their cabins and de serted their crops. No ono had tlio coin-ago to investigate the mystery until one night Dick Dennis , a reckless character , made a wager to some of his associates with whom ho had spent the night a few niile.s from the haunted snot , that ho would prove what tlio ghost was. Ho accordingly started a little after midnight on the road. AH ho approached tlio spot where the object usually made its appearance , his horse shied , and a llguro robed in white , knelt in the road , and moaned and cried. In an instant Dennis bhot at the object , and Hprung beside it. "With a cry of pain the spoctro fell to the ground and the immediate discovery was made that it was a man and that ho was dangerously wounded. Later his identity was fully established. His name is Swinton. A year ago ho murdered his wife and es caped. Loading a hermit's life im paired his health mid alTentcd his mind , and he put on a while robe and clios the swamp for a retreat. IJoiiiiirknllo Sunncc at Onset. A writer in the Banner ot Light fur nislies an account of an interesting seanco recently given at the Onset ( Mass. ) camp-ground , The seance was witnessed by over four hundred people. Ilo says : Mrs. Carrie E. S. Twing , after read ing in an impressive manner the poem , "He and She , " was controlled by Ika- bed , and made a prayer full of gooil benfeo and uplifting sentiment , though couched in quaint language. Dr , Slansbury then invited those who had como with test slates to walk upon the platform. Some eight peonlo came forward with slates which they had previously cleaned and scaled , tied 01 bccurod together with screws ; each ner.soii sure that his slate was "fraud- proof. " Dr. Stansbury paced back and forth upon tlio stage , placing his hands upon each pair of slates while they wore hold by their ownors. Soon ho was seen to start throw iij his arms and p.iss his hands rapidly ovci his head. Then ho pointed to ono pail of slates and said : "Open it. " This was done by the owner , and a message found inside. A little moro walking and handling of the slates by Dr. Stansbury. and the others opened their slates , when mes sages wore discovered to bo written iii- sido. rSomonibor , these slates had nevoi been touched by the doctor till ho put his hands upon thorn in presence of the audience. The message upon the pair of slates hold by John W. Free was written in four different crayon colors' iilthougl Mr. Free declared that nothing wa : placed between the slates , not even abi of slate pencil. On one side was a message in German , on another were several messages ad dressed to different people in the audi ence. Some six pairs of slates were written on. Mrs. J. J. Whitney next ( under con trol ) gave a number of spirit messages , which wore intensely real , and wore listened to with clos attention. She gave full names and incidents that en abled the listeners to easily identify the spirits described. A vote of thanks was passed to these three mediums. It was the universal verdict that the seanco was the most re markable ever given at Onset , as no ' medium had sla'.o-writing especially over before exhibited such varied and super-abundant power before a public audience in this placo. Pursued by His Graitny'fi Ghost. San Francisco Chronicle : Tlio ofli- ccrs of tho'city Receiving hospital have under treatmenttho case of a young man who is nlllictcd with a peculiar species of insanity. Three times since Monday has ho attempted to end his ex istence , and from his own statement it would appear that the ghost of his grandmother had prompted him to sluiIlloolV this mortal coil. His name is lolin Ed ward Hills. lie is an intelli gent Knglihhmai' , UO years old , who , unti' a wools ago , was agripman on the 1'owoll street cable road. Ilo walked into the city prison last night , and in a fron/.icd manner asked for admission to the hospital. Sorgt. ( iilchriht opened the iron gate and the young man jumped inside , exclaiming at the same time : "Don't lot the old lady in. " Gilchrist looked at Hills in aston ishment. The only woman in sight was Li//.io Murray , who is waiting trial for robbery. "Look here , young follor , " paid the forgeant , "if you play any monkey- business on mo , I'll throw you out. " "Don't you sco hor.V" replied Hills , seriously , "justoutsido the door there ; she's inv grandmother , you know , and hiiK been playing tricks on mo for a weoU. " Hills was taken into the hospital and laid on a cot. Steward Kooshar felt of his pulse , looked at hlstonguo , and then said , "Humph ! " in strong Slavonic tones. Ho then gave the sulTorer an opiate , and Hills slept soundly for an hour or more. On awakening ho looked around in surprise , and turning to a Chronicle reporter asked in a perfectly natural tone : ' 'What in the devil am I doing hero ? " "You came in hero about two hours ago , crazy as a bedbug , " was the an- 8\ycr. "Another one of my freaks , " said Hills , with a smile , "Hut. if you have faith in my sanity now , I'll toll you a serio-comic tale. "For two months past I've boon a gripman on the Powell street road , and have boon rooming at 121-H 1'owoll street. Last Sunday , while handling the lover , I was startled on seeing the apparition of my grandmother , tlresscd in fantastiogarbdancing along the track about four rods ahead of the dummy. I rubbed my eyes nnd looked a second time , for the old lady has been dead four years , and was burled near London. There she was , thoughand I saw her as iilaln as I see you now. As I kept on looking at her my head began to whirl nnd I was seized with a 'strange desire to run over hor. But she kept out of dangnrand in thoi'liaso several person ? on the street narrowly escaped being knocked down by the car. "Finally the apparition disappeared. I became terribly despondent for f-omo reason , and the ? next morliing I did not go to woi'K , but remained in my room. Again my grandmother appeared and talked to me in the voice that 1 remem bered well. She said : 'Follow mo. ' I got up and followed her to a drug store , and at her suggestion bought six bits' worth of laudanum , and returning to inv room swallowed it all. It made mo cick and I throw it oIT my stomach , the overdose saving my life. Oil Tues day the Kimo thing hapnonod , only this time I bought chloral hydrate , and again I took an overdose and vomited. "Tho two occurrences became known at my lodgings , and at 8 o'clock on Wednesday night my landlord told me to look elsewhere for a room. I wont out and at the bottom of the stairs met my otheral visitor. She beckoned mo. I followed her down to ISroadway and , continuing on that street , wo came to the wharf. She sailed out on the water and I jumped in. She grinned and kept on beckoning me. lleinga good swimmer I kept on until the phan tom disappeared. Then my senses re turned and I was picked up by the tng- boat Monarch , tlio olllcers of which treated mo very kindly , put mo to bed and this morning travo mo a good breakfast. No sooner had 1 landed on shore , however , then the old lady again paid mo a visit , and I chased her all over town , finally winding up here. " "You must have been a source of trouble to your grandmother before she died , " suggested the reporter. "On the contrary " , 1 was her pet , " re plied Hills. "Sho"was a digniliudold woman , too , and why she should appear so horribly dressed and make such grimaces , I am unable to toll. Now that's the 'story , and I can assure you that all my experiences tho. past few days are as I have related. " Communication * . Detroit Free 1'ross : ' 'I must toll you something that happened in our fam ily , " said Miss L of .IcITorson avenue - nuo , totho writer of thisarticlo , "which has always been a mystery to us , and especially to m.v aunt , Mrs. G p , who was personally interested. "My uncle , Mr. C p , wasa volunteer fireman in the old days of Detroit when all our best young men 'ran with the machine. ' One morning my aunt was sitting in her homo engaged in the do mestic occupation of shelling some peas when there came a feeling in her eyes which caused her to brush them with her hand as if a mist wore before them. As soon as she removed her hand she saw her husband como in , holding ono arm as if it wore injured. She asked him if he was hurt , when , instead of answering , ho disappeared. She again rubbed her eyes , as if they wore the cause of the unaccountable occurrence. "At noon my uncle came homo hold ing his arm exactly as she had seen him. Ilo told her ho had boon to a lire and had a very narrow escape from death ; that ho had fallen or been thrown from the engine and had saved himself by a desperate effort in which ho had severely injured his hand. "Ho also stated that his one thought had been , as ho thought ho was about to bo killed , what would become of his wife left alone with their little chil dren. " The only explanation wo can give is that of a psychic force which carried a mental photograph on a wave of thought to a receptive subject. In other words , it was mind acting upon mind through the occult forces of nature. A strange instance of this occurred in the memory of the writer in a family the members of which are all dead at this writing. The story was given mo from the lips of the aged mother her self , a woman of vigorous mind , a life long professor of the Christian faith , and as completely without superstition as anyone I over know. There wore four sons in the familyall men grown. The oldest ono was named Lovi. Tlio family lived at LaporteInd. , and wore well known nnd respected. Levi was away from homo but was ex pected on Saturday night , and his mother sat up late and at last retired , leaving the front door unlocked. Her room wasa small bedroom adjoining the parlor and from which she could see the room distinctly. She had hardly fallen asleep before she heard the front dooi open and saw Levi como into the parlor Ho stood before the open flro place , am' divesting himself of his coat and vest hung them on a chair. As ho sccinei to be wet .Mrs. G called to him ant" asked if it were raining. Ilo did not answer and she fell asleep , not waking until morninc. At breakfast she mentioned the fac to the assembled family , who laughed a her , tolling her that it was a dream , as Levi hud not yet come homo. Quito positive that ho hadtho motboi sent a little grandson up to t oo. The child returned and told her that "Unclo Lovi" was not homo and that his bed had not been slept in. Nothing moro was said , but before the breakfast was linished Levi rode into the yard on a powerful black horse he had gone off on a bay and soon joined them at the table. Ho laughed at his mother's conceit that ho had re turned the night before , and told her that ho had slept at a tavern twelve miles distant , leaving for homo a little before sunrise that morning. The mother felt a dim forobodingbut what could happen ? Hero was her boy at homo , safe , well , the picture of health nnd long life. What warning was meant to be convoyed. After breakfast the young man invit ed the family out in the yard to too his now purchase the coal black horse. So the other boys led him out prancing and curveting and the younger sons , Edward and Edgar , ran to assist. The mother , proud of her handsome boys , stood placidly by. Levi stopped to his horse and touched it on the Hank , the brute kicked wildly , and after ono dis traught look and without speaking a word the young man sank down among them dead. The iron hoof of the vicious animal loft a black impress over the young man's heart. Now what did the vision menu ? If a warning it was inbulllciont. If a mere presage of doom it completed its mission long afterward. Of the four young mon there mot , three died violent deaths. Tlio rationalist will pass it by as a dream caused by the mother's anxiety and expectancy. But what are dreams ? Can any ono toll ? Food makes Blood and Blood makes Beauty. Improper digestion of food necessarily produces bad blood , result ing in a fooling of fullness in the stomach ach , aciditv , heartburn , sickjicadacbc , and other dyspeptic symptoms. A closely confined life causes indigestion , consti pation , biliousness and loss of appetite. To remove those troubles there is no remedy equal to Prickly Ash Bitters. It has boon tried and proven to bo a specific. GOOD MAN TO TRAVEL WITH. A Clergyman llncalls n Story of Jolin MorrlHsey and n Mob. Philadelphia Press : "Tho account in i last Sunday's Press of the exploits of f prize lighters as knights errant , " said a well-known clergymanwho didn't want t his name mentioned lest ho might bo suspected of too great familiarity with such subjects , "reminds mo of a story which Captain Bon Fairchilds , of the New York city police force , used to vouch for twotity-llvtS , y'onrs ago. A ' friend of the captain a very proper 1 tort of a pi-r.son , wliotil wo will call Mr. I Good had conceived mi intense horror of prize lighters in gonural , and John Morrlssoy in particular. Mr. Good , ono day while traveling up the Erie road , dropped into a conversation with a gentlemanly - tlomanly stranger of herculean frame who occupied the seat' next to him. When the train arrived at Turner's the depot was feon to bo in the complete possession of a mob of roughs and stal wart lumbermen , who had taken posses sion of the lunch room and terrorized everybody In the placo. Mr. Good was hungry , and ho and his unknown com panion left the train to get something to eat. Mr. Good pushed his way through tlio crowd , and ordered an oyster stew from the waiter. The pro- printer demurred , on the ground that the roughs would not permit any ono else to bo served but their own party. "Oh , give my friend an oyster stew , " spoke up the unknown Hercules. "I guess there'll bo no trouble. " The stew was no sooner served than a horny hand reached over Mr. Good's shoulder and tipped his stow upon the floor. "Suppose you give mo an oyster stew , " said the Hercules quietly , with n delimit glance at the burly six-footer , who had snoiled Mr. Good's lunch. An other stow was served , and it was as promptly tipped over by the same hand , while the mob of roughs laughed up roariously. But the Hercules , like an avenging thunderbolt , had leaped from his stool , and the laugh died away as ho went right through that crowd , strik ing out right and loft until ho had cut i broad swath clear to the door way. When the cyclone was over live roughs had to bo picked up out of the remains : > f those milk slows on the floor , and all Llio rest had escaped. Then the Her- Milcs smoothed down his culTs , resumed iis stool , and remarked as quietly as over , " .lust lot mo have another stew. ) lease , and a fresh ono for my friend. " Mr. Good looked at his companion in : iwo as ho ejaculated : "Excuse mo , sir , but who are you anyhow ? " The Uorcules reached into his vest pocket nnd produced a card bearing the name Mohn Morrisoy , New York. " The stows were eaten in' peace , and Mr. Good afterward said to Captain Fair- jhild , as ho described the encounter : 'Well , they say r good mai.y hard Lhings about John Morrissey , but he's a mighty good man to travel with.

Getting Kvcu With the Horrid M m A well known society woman , speak- ng of the attacks made upon her sex for , heir methods of hahdling their skirts or bustles when sitting down , carrying their parasols , and other habits , says : ' 'I think threc-quar.lers of such talk is nonsense. I am perfectly sure that men have as many marked habits as women. What can be moro absurd , I would like to know , than to _ see a man every time ho sits down lling his coat tails wide apart as though something frightful would happen if he forgot to part them. Then , again , that everlasting twitching at tlio logs of his trousers so as to pull thorn up in folds above the knees and exposing generally the not always attractive top of a pair of shoo' with strings tied in a by no means picturesque knot. To mo ono of the res pulsivo habits is the refolding up of n liandkercluef before replacing in the pocket , which is quite common to men. I always wonder if the user is afraid of getting them fnusscd or only wants the outside fresh and clean. As regards the perpetual movement of the hand to tlio iiead and face , pulling down cuffs so they will show beneath the sleeve and similar tricks. Are they not everyday sights ? Upon my word , I'm really sick of the whole subject , and when I walk upon the streets particularly , and ob serve the habits of the male pedestrians , and their utter disregard of the rights of others , I think the less they say about the 'weaker sex' the bolter. " How Intelligent AVomcn Docltle. When the question has to be met as to what is the best course to adopt to secure a sure , safe and agreeable remedy for those organic diseases which alllict the female sex , there is but ono wise de cision , vi/ . , a course of self-treatment with Dr. Pierco'sFavorite Prescription : It is an unfailing specific for periodical pains , misplacement , internal inllama- tion , and all functional disorders that render the lives of so many women mis erable and joyless. They who .try It praise it. Of druggists , Southern Hlookado Toilet * . Doinorcst's Weekly : "You shoult" have seen mo during the war , " says MSbs Spencer. " 1 looked too awful for any thing. " ' ' did " Mrs. Car 'I see you , rejoined roll. "You remember when you were in the village to which you had llown from the bombarded city. You had on a curtain-calico bed spread , gorgeously ( lowered made into a dress , which you called a Pompadour costume. And I remember - member , too , that the dusky maiden of twelve , who handed me a glass of water , was attired in a tick dress of oxquifaite design , simple , yet elegant. Of this , too , I thought you scorned quite proud. " "I was proud to think how cleverly I adapted myself to my circumstanced. That girl was in tatters. All the calico that had run the blockade was bought up , so I bethought mo of a wool mattress that I owned , and I ripped it up ami sold the wool to bo woven and made into clothing for the soldiers , had the tick washed and I made it into two dresses and two aprons for Flora. " "Do you remembers Mrs. Ashford's bonnet and how wq all screamed at her as she entered the room : 'Whore on earth did you got that now bonnet ! Did it run the blockade ? ' 'No , Indeed , ' she exclaimed proudly. 'This is the same old bonnet that tilled mo with despair whenever I looked , at it it did seem such a hopeless case. , I procured some black varnish and .gavo the straw two coats of it. 1 dyed pie faded old ribbon with pokeberry juice , and I made a cluster of buds out of pink tissue paper and covered them with a puff of black lace , and you see the result ot my in genuity. ' "I gave my iltuino ] skirts to bo util ized fora soldier wjio was dying' in the hospital of consumption , " continued Miss Spencer , "and , as a substitute , I made a skirt of heavy throe-ply carpet. It was as heavy as lead , of course , but it was the best that could bo done , un der the circumstances. I made one also for Flora , and the dusky maiden , a.s you call her , was very indignant at being compelled to wear a carpet skirt , and informed mo that I had dressed her in the mattress and the carpet , and 'I don't know what's coming next , ' she added tearfully. " "Doyou not remember , " inquires Mrs. Carroll , "Mrs. Pember's description of her 'full tiroes toilet' boots of untanned leather , tied with thongs , woven homo- spun dress in black and white blocks the black , an old silk , washed , scraped with brolcon glass into a pulp , and then carded and spun1 white oulTa and collar of blenched homespun , and u hat plait ed of rye btraw , dyed black with wal nut julco , a shoe string for ribbon fo en- clrclo It : and knitted worsted gloves of thivo shades of green the darkest bottle tle simile being around the wrist , while the color tapered to the lovllost color of the pea at the linger tips.
