It is a singular fact that time , no less
than distance , invests objects and insti
tutions with an interest and plcturcquc-
ncss quite unsuspected in their own time ,
says the Ago of Stool. Thus in our
search for ideas about ornamental hard-
waro-wo often find that wo can do no
bettor than copy the models of the past ,
since , wo have discovered that many
things once thought commonplace wore
in reality best suited to their own gen
eration , and flttlnpr to the times that
gave thorn birth. American
people are apt to sympathize
with Artomus Ward and rofuno to weep
over an Egyptian jar simply because it
ia of "uncertain date , " for in most matters -
tors our reverence dates no further bach
than our grandfather and his ways.
Yet can not but acknowledge that for
beautiful ideas our debt to antiquity is
very groat. Take , for instance , the
"colonial" style of ornamentation in fine
bronzo" hardware. Its simplicity and its
good taste can not fall to strike every
educated observer , for it Is a refined pattern -
torn and docs not commend itself to the
groundlings. It was a natural outcome
of the simplicity of revolutionary life ,
and waited a century for its appropriate
ness to bo fully recognized , Nor have
failed bo " " it
wo to "early English" ore
was too late , and so to bo in touch with
the fading rage for Queen Anne cot
tages. For the nioro artistic the
Renaissance period lias been
ransacked for ideas , and wo have It in
every nationality fromTtho "only genuine
Italian" Renaissance , through the
French and so on to the Dutch school.
Nor have the exquisite Moorish and the
llored eastern schools escaped unnoticed ,
and today are entering upon a now lea&o
of popularity. The severely Gothic , the
conventional Egyptian and the ovor-
prai&cd Japanese had their innings , and
very long ones they were , but they are
remembered now only as things that
were of modern ideas the most beauti
ful are copies from nature a spray of
evergreen , or a familiar lloworthat dom
inates and gives character to the whole
design. It Is a wise manufacturer of
bronze hardware that marks this march
of good taste and prepares himself ac
cordingly by gatheringbimso f artists of
experience and ideas wherewith to cater
to the retail mon of the woolly west.

The gentlemen who provide humanity
with its last lodging ; require no cards to
designate their calling or to indicate
what they are ready to undertake for
their defunct follow boings. It is written -
ton on their faces , in their deportment ,
on their habiliments all over them.
They are their own cards , as n writer in
the Now York Ledger expresses it. If
ono was to moot an undertaker under
the shadow of the iiynunlds or at Spitz-
bergen there coufti bo no dilllculty in
recognizing him as a member of the
funereal profession.
Undertakers , as a rule , are moral , cs-
timablo men , but they certainly do differ
in aspect and manners from the mass of
mankind. There is an indescribable air
about them , which , for a lack of a bettor
word , wo must call posthumous. Con
stant intercourse with the bereaved
makes their voices mournful ; for your
undertaker over assimilates his tones
to those of his aftlictod customers , and
ho thereby acquires a habit , ol
talking as if ho had lost all
his friends. In like manner the "haviot
of his vlsago" becomes woo-bogono past
all remedy. His very smiles are only
deadly-lively. Then there is a severe
plainness about the cut of his black suit ,
which , to say nothing of its melancholy
hue , is a rebuke to worldly vanity and n
solemn hint that fashion and frivolity
are as small account when his duties art
to bo performed. Nevertheless , the
craft is a highly respectable ono , and we
have not a word to say against it. *

A PSYCHICAL MYSTERY.
G. W. Woipplort in Detroit Free
Press : Ono may not bo a believer in
any of the forms of mysticism now pres
ented to the world by societies of psy
chical research and similar semi-scion-
tilio and scinl-rollgious associations ; yet
incidents seemingly beyond human com
prehension occur every day , are re
corded by the papers and dismissed
without second thought. Sometimes a
particularly striking episode attracts
unusual attention. Metaphysical quacks
attempt to explain it , and forthwith tlio
intelligent part of the public ccascb to
interest itself in the phenomenon.
Knowing this to bo the case , I have
ways felt a delicacy about giving to the
public a detailed account of the extraor
dinary case which catno under my ob
servation several years ago and whoso
truth I have no reason to doubt , as the
two persons most interested in it enjoy
the confidence of the entire community
in which they live.
On the 18th of October , ono of these
pcrbons , whom , for convenience Bake. I
will call George Smith , was on his way
from Salt Lake City , U. T. , to Omaha ,
Nob. IIo had left his homo lu a pretty
Chicago suburb early in September , nnd
, vas working his way eastward at theme
! mo of which I am writing. IIo had on-
eyed the best of health. Business had
been bettor than usual , and it is safe to
; ay that on the evening of the day men-
loned Mr. Smith enjoyed perfect phys-
cal health and his mind was free from
ivorry and excitement. Hence his story
of the strnngo occurrence , outlined in
/ho following paragraphs , needs no
urthor introduction , and the chronicler
. -etircs in favor of Mr. Smith.
THE SON'S 8TOKY.
"On the evening of October 18,1880,1
was on an overland train on my way
rein Salt Lake City to Omaha. I had
taken some largo orders In the Mormon
capital and was in excellent spirits.
After supper two or three -of my follow
travelers proposed a # aino of euchre , in
which I took a hand.
"Wo might have been playing two
lours or more when 1 felt or rather
Hontned to fool the presence of a'friend.
I looked around but could not see any
one I knew. I asked my friends whether
they had seen" anyone approach inc. As
I had been losing game after ' game they
laughed uproariously and' turned my
question into a joko.
"A now hand was dealt and the play
progressed. The uncomfortable fooling1
which had possessed mo a few moments
before scorned to leave mo. I took a now
interest in the games and won two or
throe times in succession. I was con
versing with the gentleman occupying
the seat opposite mine and talking
rather boastfully of the change in my
luck when a soft hand was laid on my
shoulder nnd I hoard the voice of my
mother saying , 'Goorge , I want you. '
"I have never been superstitious , nnd
on that evening I waa perhaps freer
from fancies than at any other period of
my lifo. Still , when upon turning I not
only heard the voice of my mother
but actually saw her form standing by
my side , her hand resting on my shoul
der , I dropped my cards and become
so awe-struck that speech failed me for
faomo minutes.
"At length I recovered from my
stupor. I asked my companion what had
become of the lady who ha'd spoken to
mo. In reply they smiled. They had
neither soon nor hoard anything. I
became angry , but they vowed that I
must bo laboring : under a hallucination.
"Upon rolloction I was persuaded to
agree with them. IIow could my
mother , from whom I had received a
letter but a few dajs before which was
dated at her suburban homo near Chicago
cage , bo a passenger on the overland
train ? What could have induced her to
leave her family to make a flying trip
across the continent ?
"Tho idea scorned preposterous. Still ,
to make assurance doubly sure , I walked
through the train , glancing at every
female passenger. My search was , of
course , fruitless.
"By accident I looked at my watch ,
whoso hands pointed to ! ) :10 : : I had not
changed it to mountain time , co'nso-
quontly the mysterious apparition had
shown itself to mo at 9 o'clock Chicago
time.
"I passed a troubled night. The vision
haunted me , and sleep did not close my
eyes for more than live or ton minutes at
a time. The apparition did not appear
again however.
"In duo time ivo arrived at Omaha.
My first task was a walk to the depot
telegraph olllco. As my mother had enjoyed -
joyed the best of health at the time of
my departure from homo , I addressed a
message to her notifying her of my safe
arrival at Omaha. In two hours I re
ceived a ropiy : 'Mother died at 9 last
ovoning. Como homo at once. ' *
"Died at 91 At the precise moment
.when she called to mo in the Bleeping car
of the overland express.
"For a few moments my fear , or whatever -
ever you may call the sensation , seemed
even uioro painful than the sorrow I foil
for the loss of the best of mothers. Was
it her spirit whloh had sought mo to cast
a farewell glance at her eon ?
"Of course I loft for Chicago on the
next train. On my arrival at homo I
learned that my mother was stricken
with an attack of apoplexy on the morn
ing of her last day on earth. Toward
evening she partially recovered. All
the family was gathered around her
bedside , oxcoptlmr my youngest slstor ,
Annlo , nnd myself. At 8:30 : o'clock she
foil into a tranco-llko condition , from
which she recovered as the clock struck
9. She then looked at everyone present ,
kissed her hu band and children , and
with the remiffic , 'I have scon George
and Annlo,1 expired.
"I have 110 comments to make ou the
connection existing between the vision
in the railroad car nnd my lamented
mother's tranco. It is ono of tlioso
things which thohuumn mind cannot
comprehend ; and the mystery will scorn
still more profound to you wlion you
have hoard the story of my sister , whoso
experience was ovon'moro startling than
mine. "
THE nAuaifmt's STOIIY.
"Every word George has told you , I
bellovo to bo true. ' ' said Miss Annlo
Stnlthwho was persuaded to supplement
her brother's narrative.
"At the time of jnothor's death I was
visiting a friend in northern Indiana ,
On October 17 I , received a letter
from mother in which she
Informed mo of many thlnga
of personal Interest , and added , in n
postscript , that I need bo in no hurry to
return ns her health has never been bet
tor. She spoke cheerfully of domestic
affairs , told about several calls she had
made the day before , and teased mo not
a little about a certain young man who ,
ns you all know , will soon bo my ftus-
bund.
"My visit had boon very pleasant , and
immediately after reading Iho letter I
Informed my friend that I could spend
another week with her.
"A local fire company was to give an
outdoor concjrl , the last of the season ,
on the evening of the ISth. As early ns
7 o'clock a largo crowd was' gathered
around ttio music stand , in the court
house park , and at half past 7 my friend
suggested that vto walk down to the
park , listen to the music and take a dish
of ice cream , which was to bo served in
the wide corridor of the court house.
"Tho suggestion mot Iho approval of
every ono in the house , and a few min
utes latter we had joined the throng at
the court houso. Several gentlemen
know n to my friend asked permission to
join our party and wo werosnon enjoying
ourselves to our hearts' content.
"Tlio music was really go6d , the band
which furnished it Imvlnir won several
prizes at different contotts. The mem
bers of the lire company , clad in bright
red shirts , gaudy bulls and flaming hoi-
mots , wont through their evolutions to
the satisfaction of everybody. Enthusi
asm grow loud on all sides and an invita
tion to buy ice cream received a hearty
response.
"Among those who entered the court
house was our party. Wo llllod ono bide
of a long table , and as the gcnUomen
were very Ill-oral in giving their orders
it looked as though wo would occupy our
boats for some time.
"The conversation was general. The
gentleman sitting next to mo , a lawyer
of some note , related some of his exper
iences in the backwoods counties of Indi
ana , and drew funny pictures of the typ
ical Hooslor and his peculiar ways until
laughter drowned the remarks of the
other speakers.
"I had .a splendid time. OTlio sur
roundings were so novel to ono who had
never spent any length of time in a coun
try community , anil Iho conversation
which brought mo face to face with men
who had lived amoung a class of people
wnom I had read and hoard so much af
forded mo unbounded rimusomont.
"Judge M , the , lawyer I mentioned
a few moments ago , : was just telling a
very funny story , and as ho had the fac
ulty of making a ridiculous thing still
more ludicrous by assuming tho" facial
expressions of his heroes and heroines I
watched hid face intently.
"Suddenly my slglit ' grow dim , my
surroundings scorned 'to change and I
found myself in niy 'mother's room at
homo. I saw her lying on her bed ,
gasping for breath , tlio color of death
on her face , her eyes'dimmed by a glassy
vapor. I walked to the side of the bed ,
took her band and bopt down to kiss her
lips. She suffered mo to do as I pleased ,
and uttered , in a faint whisper , the
words : 'Good-bye , Annie , God bless
you. '
"In the same Instant my sight re
turned. I heard the words spoken by my
neighbor ns plainly as before , saw the
dirty walls of the court houbo corridor ,
and uncoiibcioubly laughed as merrily as
the tost.
"The roactlon sol in , however , and as
the clock in the court house tower
struck nine , I fell from my chair in a
swoon.
"Kind hands cared for mo and when I
recovered I was in my .room at my
friend's house. I related my experi
ence. It was considered extraordinary ,
but ascribed to ordinary causes. The
excitement of the ovenlnp , the cool at
mosphere , the transition from the pure
air of the park to the stuffy corridor , and
many other circumstances were cited to
prove that my indisposition nnd the
flight of my reason , as they termed it ,
wore brought on by natural causes.
"I did not dispute their arguments ,
but rather hoped against hope that they
might bo unanswerable.
"My thoughts , however , remained
concentrated on my mother's room ns I
had seen it in my vision , and when the
door boll was rung vigorously at 11
o'clock I oponcd the door myself to ad
mit tlio impatient caller , who proved to
bo the telegraph operator.
"Tlio message ho brought was for me.
It road : 'Mother died suddenly at 9
this ovoning. Como at onco. '
"I utlorod a piorceing cry and fainted
in the hall. My friends cared for me as
well as they could , but did not again re
fer to my vision in the court house corri
dor.

The next morning I loft for Chicago ,
arriving there a day in advance of my
brother George , whoso story has inter
ested you so much. It was somb time
before wo exchanged our strnngo exper
iences , and since wo have done so the
mystery has become even more startling
to us. "
