SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1881.
A Wonderful Dream. ,
That Led te Very Singular Results.
Wilkesharrc Union-Leader,
On the late train from New Yerk ever
the Valley read a week age Monday night
came three individuals te this city, two
gentlemen and a young lady. A carriage
was called and the party wei e driven te
tberesidence of a well-known citizen en
Seuth Franklin street, The family were
all absent, but the servants were evidently
apprised of their coming, for they had no
difficulty in gaining entrance, and subse
qeutly in being provided for the balance
of the night. The next afternoon
the party left in a close covered
cariiagn which was diiveu across
the bridge. One of the strangers
was a man of elderly appearance
the ether a young gcntlemau, while the
thi:d was a handsome, fair-haired wemau
somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty.
The appearance of all favored the supposi
tion that they were of one family come
hither en a visit. The truth is sometimes
stranger than fiction, and last evening a
Uwien-Leader representative was regaled
with a story concerning these people, that
has net been matched for absolute interest
in a geed many years, and perhaps never
in this section. It appears that the party
were all from 1 Jes ten, the city of classic
culture raid genuine aristocracy. The el
der gentleman was the father of the young
lady and the ether was her family physi
cian. About three months age the lady
was suddenly seized with spells that re
sembled the situation of these in a trance
conditieu. At these times she would ut
ter strange things, reciting verses that
were evidently coined while under the iu
lluence of these spells, and would play niar niar
vcleusly beautiful pieces en the piano, all
strange and new. These spells lasted
about an hour, and came once a day. Med
ical advice was obtained, but the physi
cians could net ascertain the cause of these
strange trance conditions. The lady her
self could net recall anything that trans
pired while she was in them, and was a
geed deal weriied about what could cause
them. She was healthy, unusually se,
had no trace et insanity, was never injured
in any way, and what caused the singular
trauces into which she fell daily, was a
tormenting misery.
About four weeks since the lady had a
dream which se impressed her upon
awakeniug that she informed her family
about it. She said that she dreamed of
going te a city called Wilkesbaire in Penn
sylvania. That she crossed a river in a
covered carriage and drove te a large men
ument which steed a little oft a main read
that led by it. That upon arriving at the
monument she entered the gate and
walked inside. Just in front of the north
ern face of the tali shaft, lying in the
grass, she observed a small white stone,
net much bigger than a walnut, en which
where seven, round, black spots, which
she picked up and put in her pocket. She
then went away, but before getting out of
the enclosure she was met by an old wo
man who told her that as long as she kept
the stone somewhere about her person she
would never be troubled with the spells
she was subject te. The family, very nat
urally, laughed at the vision, but the
young lady did net seem te regard it in a
funny light at all. On the contrary she
was very deeply impressed with the dream
and avoided the family during the day.
That night, strange te say, the vision was
repeated exactly, as it was also en the
third night. By this ttme the members of
the family grew quite serious and regard
ed the young lady's dream with a geed
deal of awe and interest. IIci spells con
tinued coming en daily about three o'clock
in the afternoon.
In the meantime the lady asserted her
determination te visit this city and leek at
the place she had dreamed about. Her
physicians wcre consulted, and after some
days of hesitancy they finally agreed that
it would be no harm te bring the lady here.
It was en this occasion that she came, a
week age Monday night, accompanied by
hei father and her physician. The wonder
ful part of this strange story is, that when
the paity, who had no difficulty in locating
the. Wyoming monument as the object of
the young lady's vision, arrived there she
was permitted te go alone inside the gate
up te the tall shaft. Her eyes wcre iixed
upon the ground with an intensity of ob
servation that was most acute. Ne word
was said asalic moved cautiously about
until she arrived en the ueithern side of
the shall. Then she gazed with a deeper
leek. Slowly she passed her feet ever the
grah.s, missing nothing in the steady sur
vey. Suddenly she steeped and with a cry
of joy she arose. She had found the very
stone she had dreamed about. She carried
it te her father, who examined it very
closely and then passed it ever te the doc
tor. Beth were dumfounded. Very few
words were spoken and the party returned
silently all the mere auxieus te knew if
the strange spell would return again, new
that the talisman that was te banish them
had been found. The young lady passed
through that day without her usual trance.
The same thing happened en the next
day when the party returned te Bosten.
A letter received from the young lady last
flight says that she has net had any spoil
since she found the stone.
A Last Year's Argument.
Pittsburgh Pest.
We remember that in the presidential
campaign last year, Senater Conkling
started out with a studied misrepresenta
tion of the share of the Southern states in
bearing the expenses of government, using
internal revenue and custom figures. The
argument was shallow and insincere.
Taking up the report of Commissioner
Raum, giving details of the operations of
his bureau for the year just closed, aud
adopting Cenkliug's priuciple of compari
son, some interesting facts are obtained
Thus, the six New England states, with
their twelve senators, twenty-eight repre
sentatives, aud ever four millions of pop
ulation, paid into the federal treasury in
the shape of internal revenue taxes, only
$3,931,000.
Virginia with but two senators, nine
representatives, and a million aud a half
of people, paid into the federal treasury
ever six millions of dollars, or nearly dou deu dou
ble the amount collected in the six New
"RiKrlnnd EtatM-
The collections in Pennsylvania, with (
twenty-seven representatives in Congress
and 4,300,000 population, were $7,GC9,000,
while Kentucky, with its ten representa
tives and 1,000,000 population, paid in $8,
719,000. The three Southern States of Virginia,
Missouri and Kentucky paid into the fed
eral treasury, as internal revenue taxes,
for the year ending last June, ever twenty
one millions of delldrs. This is a greater
amount than was paid into the federal
treasury by fifteen of the Stalwart Repub
lican states of the North.
Of course all this means nothing. These
taxes in reality are paid by the consumers
of the tobacco, spirits and malt liquors,
wherever they may be, North or Seuth,
East or West, in Europe or America, But
Conkling adroitly and dishonestly used
the internal revenue and customs figures,
in the manner indicated, te demonstrate
the Seuth an insignificant section of the
Union, that paid only one-twentieth of the
national revenues. The Republican press
and orators took up the argument, and
made much of it during the campaign.
Conkling new has ample time te reflect
en hew he made hgures lie.
Interpreting the Obelisk.
A Philadelphia Linguist Called Upen te
.Explain the rot-heoka, Serpent, Birds-
Claws, ana Things, for the Benefit of
the Unenlightened New
Yorkers.
The interesting and important task of
translating a portion of the curious inscrip
tions en the Egyptian obelisk in Central
Park has called te New Yerk a Philadel
phia gentleman named Themas A. 31.
Ward. Althegh very reticent as te his
own individuality and causes that have
led him te undertake te difficult a work,
Mr. Ward claims the title of Professer of
Sanskrit and Hebraieal Literature, and. in
sists that the translation upon which he
is engaged will be the only correct one
given te the English-speaking people.
In conversation with the Times
reporter, the professor, who is an
elderly gentleman of intelligent appear
ance and energetic manner, explained
that he proposed at present te translate
only the central column (Letter A) of the
side facing Fifth avenue. It would take
mere than a year of steady work, he said,
te make an accurate translation of the en
tire twelve columns, and the subject-matter,
with explanatory notes, would till an
octave of ever 150 closely printed pages.
With regard te the translations hitherto
made public, Mr. Ward maintained that
they wcre incomplete and incorrect. 1 be
se-called translations published in a New
Yerk morning paper last February wcre
especially alluded te as being inaccurate.
"I de net believe," said the professor,
"that Bey Brngsch or Colonel Brooks,
as it is in English sanctioned the trans
lation that was ascribed te him, for
the errors in it are very glaring.
The work of deciphering the lmro lmre
glyphics en the obelisk is very tedious
and puzzling, but when it is correctly
doue it will give the people a vast amount
of important knowledge concerning the
ancients. There is no telling the exact
age of the shaft in Central Park, but we
can arrive at a pretty reliable estimate of
the age of the various inscriptions en its
surface. Of the twelve columns of glyphs
no two wcre put ou at the same time. In
the succeeding ages and prophets, after the
deification of the king, decreed that the
proceedings should be cut into the stone in
sacred characters or hieroglyphics, and
like the steue endure ever after. Thoth
mess is net the name of a king. There
never was any king by that name. The
word has reference te the third passage or
degree, in the Egyptian mysteries. The
hieroglyphics representing this matter arc
the trinal M and double s. reading
thus "Mss." The name of .the king is
in the cartouche at the top of the obelisk ;
the glyphs at the top and ever the car
touche are the king's titles, which makes
him king, (Pharaoh,) ' P ' being the defi
nite article 'the,' and attached te the
phrase 'arae,' reads 'the king.' The
eagle en the column means Pharaoh, and
the bars en which it stands represents the
thunderbolts of Jove, which is the great
god the sun the source of heat, light
and life. This part of the inscription
reads: 'Pharaoh, son of the sun, over ever
living, beloved by Amuu, Ruler of a
people of purity. Lord (or King) of the
Lords of the Names of Kami and Ned,
(Egypt and Nubia.)' The name of the king
cut en the stone inside of the cartouche, re
sembling in shape a beetle, is Rha-mn-ethe
that is, mancthe. ltha is the sun god. The
two glyphs, all joined as 'they are ou the
stone, read the same as they de in the eagle
and the thunderbolts. This inscription
was cut into the stene en the 2d day of
the month Thoth, and in the seventh year
of the reign of the King Pharaoh." This
last point is as far as Mr. Ward has pro
gressed. Different rulers were went te
cause inscriptions te be made en the ebe
lisks pertaining te the events or nspira-
tiens of their respective reigns.
The
lyphs, I believe, were understood in
these remote ages only by the priests ;
the kings even could net read them. The
authors who pietend te derive the word
obelisk from the Latin word ebcliscum are
certainly in error, for the obelisks existed
centuries befere the Latin language was
arranged in accordance with the, rules of
philology."
" Hew old is the column of inscriptions
that yen propose te translate?" asked the
reporter.
" That was put en 1322 B. C," replied
the professor, " and it is probably the
eldest column of glyphs en the obelisk.
It is a revelation of the intelligence and
rites of the ancient Egyptians. The orig
inal and proper name for these venerable
Egyptian monuments is ' OB El-Asp, '
and net obelisk. The latter would mean
nothing te the people of Egypt, while the
ether characters stand for Ged of the
Spirits in the Regions of Ameuti. Osiris
was the god who controlled the blessed in
the realms of Pene, mediator between the
god of Naph and mankind. OB ' was
the god consulted by the reputed 'Witch
of Euder,' iu the affairs of Lemuel and
Saul, of Scriptural history. The king
whose name and titles are cut into the
stone of the obelisk adored this god,
and when accorded divine honors
(Thoth-mss, which means purified,
lifted up) during the third pas
sage (in the the third degree) the pon
tiffs his task. He claims that some very
interesting matter is te fellow informa
tion which seems te relate te what is med
ernly called Masonry, but of a higher or
der than has been known for 1.G0O years.
The professor thinks that he shall remain
for a week or ten days longer. He says
that he is acting as the representative of
the Historical and Antiquarian society of
Illinois in the work en which he is new
engaged, and avers that the result of his
labors will be duly published, together
with an intelligible key te the Egyptian
glyphs. He thinks that the people will be
greatly surprised whey they come te knew
the real significance of the odd-looking
figures en the obelisk, in answer te a
question as te whether he had ever been
in Egypt. Mr. Ward promptly an
swered . " Oh, yes, I spent a long time
there with Geerge R. Glidden, the Ameri
can Egyptologist." Mr. Glidden is the
author of An Appeal te the Antiquaries of
Europe en the Destruction of the Monuments
of Europe, Ancient Egypt, and ether work's.
Mr. Ward has in his possession a purse of
Babyleniau meney, certain coins of which
were contemporaneous with the mystic
writing en the obelisks. Helding one of
the rude silver pieces tip for the reporter's
inspection, he said, "That little coin was
in circulation mere than 500s year before
the birth of Christ." Others that he dis
played were anywhere from two te five
centuries elder than the Christian era, aud
yet net one of them would buy a 2 cent
watermelon at the huckster's stall en the
corner.
A Contractor Who Get no Satisfaction.
The postmaster general is a very plain
spoken man and somewhat facetious with
al. It is related of him that a few days
age a prominent mail contractor called at j
the emce Ol llie postmaster genera i uu
asked the reason why certain routes ever
which he had control had been curtailed.
Mr. James at the time was all alone in his
office, and rising, quickly from bis seat
called his colored messenger.. "Bey,"
said he. " go down te room 59 and tell Mr.
Cook and Mr. Gibsen te come up here at
ence. Pretty seen the two came maron maren
ing up, and upon entering the room the
postmaster general said: "Gentlemen,
this is 3Ir. . He wants te knew why
route Ne. has been curtailed."
"Tell him nothing," said Mr. Cook.
" Nothing," sail Gibsen ; " we are going
te enter criminal proceedings against this
man and be should net knew the ' whys '
and ' wherefores ' of our actions."
Turning te the contractor the postmaster
general said : " New you understand
why I cannot fu"rnish you with the infor
mation desired."
A Gipsy Chief.
Interviewed by a Columbia Keperter.
Our regular correspondent at Columbia
writes as fellows : " Yesterday morning
we held' a very pleasant interview with a
gipsy chief which has .entirely changed
our opinion about that class of people.
Many persons think that they are a low,
uneducated set, but we assure them that
such is net the case. The chief is a man
nearly six feet three inches in height, dark
hair and eyes, and a comploxien of the
same color ; beard that is au iron gray,
and is sixty-five yeais old. Frem him we
get the following facts :
" The band, or tribe, he new travels
with has beeu organized ever five years
and in that time he has traveled all ever
the world, but America is his favorite
grounds. On Sunday morning they left
Ucayga, New Yerk, and reached here
yesterday morning, having traveled nearly
eight hundred miles in that time. He is
the only man in his tribe that can correct
ly speak the English language, and be
sides that he can readily speak the
Reman, Spanish, Latin aud Greek lan
guages, and has a smattering of a number
of ether languages. He describes the
West as the' most grandly beautiful coun
try he had ever been in, especially around
the great lakes, where they spoilt the
whole of last year. When asked hew
they lived he auswered that each man be be be
eoeo starting out en a trip had te place
eleven hundred dollars in his hands, also
provide himself with necessary articles for
travel. When they are eifered a bargain
they make a trade, and very seldom de
they lese by it. He gave a lively descrip
tion of their life among the Indians,
where they made money enough te keep
each one without working for the next
ten years. Their marriage ceremony is
entirely different from ours, with the ex
ception of the ceitificate, which is some
what similar. They are new en route for
the southern part of Texas, where they
will remain during the coming winter."
A Famous "IIcreti',
Seme cut ions details of a " heretic " of
the last century called El wall aie given in
the last number of Notes and Queries. To
day his name is almost forgotten ; a hun
dred years age it was familiar in the re
ligious world, and three of the best known
men. of the age. were interested iu his
opinions. Dr. Jehnsen once dined with
him, and retained iu his tenacious mem
ory for many years a part of ElwalFs let
ter te the king. Byren, the enthusiast, was
naturally conversant with the publications
of one even mere whimsical than him
self. Dr. Priestlev renrinted the
narrative of his trial for heresy. Atatime f
when any deviation from the established
faith was a crime in the eyes of the lower
orders, Elwall contrived te attach te him
self the odium of thrce unpopular names.
He closed his shop en Saturdays, and
opened it en Sundays : hence he was
called "Jew Elwall." His publications
advocated the principles of Unitarianism,
aud for that eiime he was prosecuted for
blasphemy aud heresy. He attended the
religious meetings of the Quakers, aud
consequently was identified with their un
popularity. Still, in spite of all his pecu
liarities, Elwall managed te escape con
viction for his efleuscs, and te die peace
fully at a geed old age.
Horrible Brutality.
Londen Daily News.
The brutality of the brigands of Greece
is proverbial. An instance is thus related :
Nike, the chief of the band that took
Cel. Snyne, caught a man near a sawmill
whom he thought he recognized. The con
versation commenced thus :
" Did you net once spy for me V"
"Yes."
' Did I net pay you live liras for se
doing?"
" Yes "
" Did you net tell the soldiers in such
aud such a village that you had seen me?"
" Yes."
"Then," said Nike, "take a bit or pa
per and pencil and write as I tell you :
'This is the way Nike treats traitors.' "
After this was done he first sawed off the
man's right hand se that he should never
write anything against him ; next he de
prived him of his ears se that he could
hear no mero questions about the band,
and, finally, he cut his teusruc out te pre
vent him from telling tales. Then wrap
ping all these fragments in a handkerchief
he bade him walk te the nearest village
te present them with a note te the pasha.
The peer man, net daring te refuse, strug
gled en until lie dropped down aud died
from less of bleed.
