On the soft moss at the foot of an old oak
there nestled one springtime a little blue
violeL The great tree spread out its
branches like a protecting roof, and the
tender green leaves, -which were just begin
ning to put forth, shielded the little plant
from sun and rain. "When the soft, -warm
air blew through the forest and the lark and
other birds were making the woods ring
with their songs, the violet awoke from her
long winter rest, and opening her blue eyes,
wondered how long she had slept. Bnt she
thought it must have been a very short time;
for the trees looked just the same, except
that the leaves looked smaller and of a
lighter green; but the sun shone just as
warm, and the sty looked just as blue.
Then she spied in the rough bark of the
tree a small worm almost encased in a
brown shell. The worm greeted the violet,
and the two became firm friends, talking all
day about their dreams and hopes. The
worm said:
"I dreamed that this ugly brown shell had
falien oft, that I had gay-colored wings and
could fly through the air over the tops of
trees and through the blooming meadows.
Oh, that St might be true; for I am so tired
of living in this small place; and before you
awoke, I was very lonesome here."
"I, too, have had a dream," said the
violet; "it seemed that one night the wind
blew very cold, and soon I was hidden
under a cover of snow. I could see hun
dreds of my little sisters, and they, as I,
were all trembling with cold. Then it grew
verv dark, and for a long time we could see
neither the sun nor the bright blue sky. "We
were so frightened that we dared not even
speak; and so we remained quiet and still.
I was beginning to think that I must al
ways stav in this dark place; and as I could I
co longer see any of my sisters, I thought

they had left me to die alone. But I was
afraid to cry out. Finally I saw a bright
light, and the flower queen in her new
bright robes stood beside me, 'What, are
my little violets still sleeping?' she asked.
Wake up, wake up; see how bright the
sun is shining, and hear how the birds are
singing.' When I opened my eves, here I
was on the same soft moss and under the
kind old tree. But I hope 1 shall never
again have such an unpleasant dream."
As the violet ceased speaking it began to
grow dark, and, alter bidding her friend
good-night, she fell asleep and did not
waken till tbe morning sun shone through
the branches. Many other lorest flowers
had by this time ventured ont of their home
tinder the earth, and the anemones and
bluets were now holding a reception under
the oak tree. The violet looked on with de
light, and gave the newcomers a cordial
welcome. Then she saw on the grass not far
away a flower much larger and handsomer
than the .thers; its blue and yellow leaves
seemed sprinkled with the finest gold dust,
which glittered and shone in the sunlight.
The strange flower began to move, and
coming to the violet, said:
"Do you not know me, my little friend?"
The voice certainlv had a very familiar
sound, but the violet was sure she had never
before seen the beautiful flower. Shaking
her head she replied:
"You are very handsome and I am proud
to be called your friend; but I do not re
member you and think I have never seen a
flower like yon."
"I am no flower," said the stranger; "see
there lies rar empty shell, and they now
call me a butterfly. My hopes at last have
been realized, and w'ith these beautiful
wings I can fly through the field and for
est." "I am glad to see you so hapnv." said the
violet; "but I shall be very lonely when
you are gone away."
"Oh, I am not going to leave you, mv
dear Iriend," said the butterfly; "you shall
always be my playmate and companion. I
shall fly through the woods during the day,
and in the evening shall tell you about mv
travels."
Thedays now passed very happily for the
two friends. Every morning the butterfly
would take leave of the violet, and then be
gin his journey through the surrounding
country. "When he returned he would tell
of the wonders he had seen; of the gold fish
in the lake; of the reeds along the shore;
and of the birds' nests with their many col
ored eggs. When the night came, and the
moonbeams fell through the trees and the
fire flies were flitting to and fro. the violet
wonld talk 01 the flower queen and the fairy
island until she fell asleep.
One day on the shore of the lake the
butterfly met another butterfly dressed in
red uniform who called himself an admiral
and told of a white marble palace which
stood on the other side of the hill sur
rounded by a large garden, in which lived
tbe most beautiful flowers.
"Nothing at all like these common wild
flowers," he said.
When the butterfly had told the violet of
his meeting with the admiral, it was de
cided that he should spend the next dav in
the garden, and in the evening relate" its
beauties to his little friend.
Early the next morning he flew over the
hill, and there saw the marble palace with
its golden roof and the beautiful garden.
Hundreds and hundreds of tbe rarest trees
and choicest floners filled the air with their
fragrance. The butterfly was astonished at
the sight of so much beauty, and entering a
garden lighted on a rose tree, where he again
met his friend the admiral, who greeted him
in a most friendly way and went with him
through the garden, introducing him to the
flowers. Everyone had a pleasant word for
the stranger, even the haughty tulips gave
him a friendly nod. They listened with in
terest to his account of his woodland home;
but laughed so scornfully when he told of
his playmate the violet, that he became
ashamed of his little friend and declared he
would never again go back to the forest.
Day after day he lived in the beautiful
garden, breathing the rich fragrance of the
flowers without noticing that the bright
color was fading from his wings. Bnt the
flowers observed how dull and gray their
friend was becoming, and no longer took
any interest in him. They began to treat
him very coldly, and some would not even
speak to him, but turned away their heads
when he came near.
One day a cruel bar came into th tr.r.n
and.catching the admiral, ran a pin through'

dered if she wonld forgive him, or if she
would turn away as the other flowers had
done. He remembered how gladly
she had welcomed him every even
ing, and with what interest she
had listened to the story of his travels. He
hastened with all speed, and when he
reached the forest he found the grass just as
green as when he had gone away that bright
morning. But the flowers bent their heads,
and the bluebells, instead of ringing mer
rilv, as was their custom, were tolling soft
and low, while the bluets seemed to whis
per, "Your violet is dead."
Pull of anxietv, the butterfly hurried to
his old home ; but the violet had bowed her
head and died from grief for her lost play
mate. All night, in deep distress, the but
terfly hovered over the dead flower, and dur
ing the long summer he might have been
seen wandering sad and lonely over the
fields. "When the cold winds and frosts
came he died under the old oak tree near
the grave of the little bine violet

THE FICKLE FoDR HUNDRED.
Contrast In Their Treatment of Mrs. Cleve
land and tbe Cachets.
Hew York World. 3
The four hundred went into ecstacies over
the Duchess of Marlborough. Every proud
lady was at her knee, every gallant beau
bowed in reverential awe. Now that the
Duchess is gone all this seems particularly
funny in view of the timid and hesitating
way in which society people received Mrs.
Cleveland a year or so ago when she first
came to New York, and the half-hearted
fashion in which they have entertained her.
I It can scarcely have escaped the memory
even of the most casnal observer in such
matters that when Mrs. Cleveland came here
from Washington the question whether or
not society would receive her at all was dili
gently considered.
The women criticised her gowns and de
clared without hesitation that the edthnsi
astic paragraphs which those gowns had
prompted at the hands or rather the pens of
fashion writers in the national capital were
wholly unwarranted, and really thought
that the greatest kindness Mrs. Whitney
could do Mrs. Cleveland was to recommend
a nrst-class modiste. And now comes the
diverting spectacle of the women who
pulled Mrs. Cleveland's costumes to pieces
and who accorded her the most grudging
social recognition clamoring, in cborns for
her and shouting as loudly as polite
society permits its votaries to shout
that she must be placed on a golden
throne and be a "regular royal queen,"
and that the most fashionable dud ilistin-
guished woman of the town and the Dnchess
of Marlborough and similar celebrities from
abroad must follow in her train and must, if
possible, come in quietly with" rubber shoes
on.
If Ward McAllister had not invited Mrs.
Cleveland to tbe place of honor at the com
mittee's supper table at the New Year's
ball, a proceeding on Mr. McAllister's part
which gave her a social position she had not
held before in New York, the advocates for
Mrs. Cleveland's leadership and precedence
would be now in a much more absurd posi
tion than they are.
THE FIRST ENGLISH BIBLE.
Away Back In 1505 the First Attempt Was
Made Early Editions.
The earliest attempt to make an English
translation of any portion of the Bible was
in 1505, when a translation of the seven
penitential Psalms were made. In 1526
William Tyndale's translation of tbe New
Testament appeared, but the edition was
bought np and burned. In 1530 Tyndale
.published his translation of the Pentateuch,
and a year later the book of Jonah. The
first English version of the whole Bible was
published by Miles Covcrdale in 1535, and
dedicated to Henry "VIII. In 1537 the
next English edition, known as Matthew's
Bible, appeared.
In 1539 Cranmer's Bible (so called be
cause he wrote a preface to it), made its ap
pearance. P.ichard Taverner published an
edition in the same year. The "Geneva
Bible" (so called because the translation
was made in Geneva, by several English
divines), came from the press in 1557. This
was the first edition divided into verses and
printed in Roman letters. It was the subject
ofmucb playful criticism by reason of the
list word in the translation of Gen. Ill,
xnen me eyes oi tnem botn were opened,
and they knew that they were naked, and
they sewed fig tree leaves together, and made
themselves breeches." It was sometimes
called "The Breeches Bible."
The "Bishop's Bible" was published in
London in IMS. From 1607 to 1610 a num
ber of the most eminent divines of England
were engaged in still another translation,
which resulted in what has ever since been
known as "King James' Bible." and which
continues to be tbe standard version.
PUPPIES AND &P0AGE.

A boy had been presented with two lovely
little puppies, and, as the night was cold,
he put them in the kitchen ,to sleep. An
hour or two after that, the cook, intent upon
giving the family hot rolls for breakfast
the next morning, had set her "sponge" to
rise, that is to say, she had mixed the flour,
yeast and whatever else is necessary, and
put the pan containing the mixture in a
warm corner by the range. That is the end
of chapter one.
About 2 o'clock in the morning the father
of the family was awakened by strange cries
and repeated thumps of some kind, all
coming, apparently, from the kitchen. Of
course he went down to investigate, and
when he had lighted tbe gas he saw the two
puppies bobbing 'against the ceiling just
like toy balloons tbat have been released
from the hand.
The voracious little beasts had devoured
the cook's "sponge," and the "rising" pro

THB GOOD THAT IB ACCOMPLISHED
rwaiTTKir ron thb dispatch. :
"Books," says the G. O. M., that grand
old master of words whose burden of four
score years seems but to have fired bim with
new and living eloquence whether in the
splendor of his recent great oration in the
House of Commons, his last criticism on
Homer, his essay on the construction of a
library, or his "Defense of Revealed Re
ligion" "books are the voices of the dead,
the main channel of our communication
with the vast human procession of thought
toward another world." "The true univer
sity of our days," s ays another master, the
stern old sage of Chelsea, "is a collection of
books."
And, as far as mere numbers go, the col
lection in Bloomsbury in the reading room
of the British Museum is probably without
a rival in the world. It is indeed no small
thing for a man to sit down in the presence
of a million of books, all waiting to be
opened and read, and have to make a choice
as to where he shall begin, and what
mighty voice out of the silent past he
shall summon to hold converse with in
this age of universal knowledge, when
the difficulty is not to find an author on any
given subject, human or divine, but to meet
with a man who hasn't written at least one
book and cannot talk of a thousand others of
which he has written none and has seen but
a few. But at last the student makes up his
mind, he will dip into the wise and witty
pages of Sidney Smith or the dreary ones of
Herbert bpencer on the Homogeneity ot tne
Acephalous Atom'whichever his choice be.
HOW TO GET BOOKS.
There is only one way of getting what he
wants, and tbat is simple and easy enough.
First, taking a blank ticket from the rack,
he must go to the catalogue, seize that one
out of the 30 volumes which contains his
book, fill up the ticket with its exact title,
size, edition, date, birthplace and nnmber
on the library shelf, adding his own name
and the number of the seat he has taken. day
of the month and year. The ticket so filled
up he places in a basket at the central desk;
thence it passes on to an attendant who
hunts up the desired volume and brings it to
thb expectant reader, who, when his toils
are over, takes baek his books to the head
center and receives for them the cancelled
ticket.
Meanwhile before his books arrive the
student may take any light refreshment he
pleases from auv of the lower shelves of the
great dome, which are filled with such suc
ulent and choice dainties as dictionaries,
encyclopedias, parliamentary papers, topog
raphies, geographies, indexes, maps and
charts; in all languages, living and dead;
to the modest amount of some thousand vol
umes, on any of which he may quietly feast
without a ticket. But, if not inclined for
any such preliminary tonic, he can look
about him and take a snrvey of the quiet
host of readers. There are some 600 or 700
of them, if one may rightly guess from a
casual glance, of all aces, between 20 years
and fourscore, and of almost as wide a range
as to rank and condition and personal ap
pearance. TWO SPECIMEN BEADEB3.
Look, for example, on that little withered
old man, in a gray, dingy, old dress
ing gown, who sits at the end of the row!
Snmmer or winter, rain or shine, he is here
every day, ana all day; in tbe same corner,
with the same one book before him gossip
ing old Bishop "Burnett's History of His
Own Time." When he is not dozing in his
chair, or mopping his bald head with that
scrap of faded, yellow bandana silk hand
kerchief, and he is feebly glancing at the
Sri n ted page, and trying to look alive, as he
as been doing for the last 20 years. The
museum library is his club, without en
trance fee, or subscription, where for so
many hours out of each day he can
find shelter, warmth and a comfortable arm
chair. He is harmless and nobody molests
him; not even his next-door neighbor, a
stout, florid, well-to-do personage robed in
sable garments of strictly ecclesiastical cut,
knee breeches and gaiters. His clerical hat
is beside him on the desk; he is calm, digni
fied and conscions of his own importance
perhaps, also, of his own inability to write
a sermon suddenly demanded on an occasion
when his very best will be needed before
the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs on Sunday
next, for the great schools of St. Agatha,
city.
At ail events able or important he
thinks it well to consult some of tbe most
famous preachers of the day and see how
they deal with things in these terrible days
of scientific inquiry. If he can prevent it,
he has determined that Moses shall not be
abolished, and here, under the great dome,
are a score, or 100, or 500 mighty orators and
divines, from St, Augustine down to Mr.
Charles Spurgeon, all ready to help him.
He is taking a goodly sheaf of notes.
TWO OF THE LADY HEADERS.
A country cousin, who, under the guid
ance of an official, has just now strayed into
the domains of learning, takes the portly
scribe for His Grace the Archbishop, and
looks on him with silent awe. Only for a
moment, however, for his eyes gladly travel
on, as our own also do, to a smiling maiden
of many summers, who, in spite of advanc
ing years and disappointed hopes, still
keeps up an appearance of skittish youth
fulness and is now Intent on her next con
tribution to that famous journal, 27ie Young
Christian TToman's Budget. She looks
askance at our Archi-Episcopal frirad, but
still more disapprovingly on the young
ladv seated at a desk over the way who is
said to be though I don't vouch for it the
reporter for Jenny's Own Journal and the
author of "Jack and Jill, or the Rights of
the British Female." Each of these two
sister laborers in the vineyard knows what
the other is about, and what the one tries
to build up the other rejoices to pull down.
When the clock strikes 6 P. M. they will
greet each other with a sugary, but bitter,
smile of recognition as they pack up their
MSS. for the uight and rejoice over the
labors of another day.
But, in addition to these and a score of
other amusing types of readers Under the
the great dome who might easily be cited
and made to speak for themselves, it must
not be iorgotteu even for a moment that to
this quiet and noble domain of learning
there comes every day a band of
BBATE AND EARNEST STUDENTS
of high intellect and trained skill; worthy
alike of the famous library and of the treas
ures which it contains. Men and women
they are of rare and undoubted accomplish
ments poets, painters, philosophers,
scholars, novelists, dramatists, orators, di
vines, drinking-in fresh inspiration and new
life, sweetness and light, from tbe foun
tains of past ages from the voices of muny
lands and the living .words of many men,
who, though dead, yet speak, and will be
heard while time lasts. It is these who
give a dignity and add a luster to the whole
place, and to the assembled crowd of stu
dents a name of which some are not
worthy; knowing not what a biok is, or how
it should be used.
And thus it comes to pass that, in spite
of much that is but trivial and idle turning
of pages under the mighty dome, some
amount of trumpery book-making, not a
little of idle whispering (in the face of pre
tended BiJence), and silly 'gossip about
books and bookmakers, grand and noble
work of real progress, research and light is
there done every day between dawn and
sunset, of which men may gather goodly
fiuit far and wide among the nations.
THE WAT TO BEAD.
Hot maj oat of the rut crowd who
year by year go up to the museum to read,
emerge from it any the wiser or better for
their visit, is a question which I as one of
that great host will not undertake to an
swer. "Sir," says the great Mr. Bound
erby, who revels in literary statistics, "Sir,
the Bloomsbury Library is a boon to man
kind, and anyman who pleases may nowin
this enlightened age, by working steadily
on for 20 years, make himself master of 2,
000 volumes as easily as I put on a pair of
gloves."
.Perhaps so, Mr..B.; but the perhaps is a
big one. For, as wise and witty Oliver
Wendell Holmes saith: "To be homo unius
libri a perfect master of one boos:, goodly
and ripe, is after all enough for human
nature and the span of life. And many; a
man is there, moreover, who cannot contain
more than one, and dies of a surfeit if he
swallows more."
Let a man stick to one book, if he will,
and as long as he will; bnt in that case he
must beware of Mr. Toot's example, and not
study his chosen volume upside down.

BEADING THE FUTURE.
The Prophets Are Not All Dead and Spooks
Not All Tmnslnntlon.
The Marquise di Lanzi, writing of the gift
of second sight and presentiments, says:
People who have presentiments of
events to come actually exist. They are
usually very nervous and susceptible to any
strong influence. It would seem almost as
it the finer quality of their temperament
rendered them capable of receiving impres
sions of preordained occurrences. Some
strange infallible intuition certainly pos
sesses them at times. I once knew a lady
who could invariably tell precisely when a
certain person would call, when an import
ant letter would arrive, and when the death
of a friend or relative would take plaee. I
often talked with her on the subject. She
said these occurrences were not in any way
controlled by her will or even her inclina
tion. She was as much astonished as any
one when she predicted 'with certainty
events that subsequently happened. She
simply knew they would occur. That was
all. And they never failed to come about
exactly as she said they would.
The most wonderful thins: that ever hap
pened to me occurred several years ago.
One afternoon I was sitting alone in my
study reading. There was no one else in
the house except the tenants, who were all
down stairs. I was facing a Ion bookcase
that was filled with books tightly packed
side by side on the shelves. Suddenly, one ,
of the volumes flew out as if shot from a '
gun and fell with a flop on the floor at my
feet. I confess I was somewhat startled.
The proceeding has meaning, to say the
least. I got up and examined the book
shelf. The volumes, as I stated, were tightly
packed one beside the other. It would have
required an effort oa my part to withdraw
tbe particular book that had just come fly
ing out so unceremoniously. I picked it up
from the floor. There was nothing unusual
in its appearance. But I felt so decidedly
creepy-crawly that I went and sat in an
other room. The book never misbehaved
again, though I half expected it would.
That has been my first, and I happy to say,
my last experience so far with "mysterious
agencies."
CHAINED IN A CATERN TO DIE.
Remarkable Evidence of a Prehistoric Race
Fonnd In Colorado.
In the mountains near Colorado Springs,
Col., two young men have discovered
a remarkable cavern. Dot knowing
the extent of tbe cavern or whither its
passages might lead them, they first fastened
the end of a ball of strong cord at the en
trance of the corridor, to be unwound and
carried along as they proceeded on the way.
The floor of the corridor was of solid rock
and covered with the dust of centuries. It
was wide enough for two to walk abreast,
with a decline of about one foot in ten, and
estimated to be some 80 feet in length. It
ended in a large oblong chamber, where the
most brilliant stalactites depended, while
from the floor arose a nnmber of hnge
stalagmites, ranging from 8 to 14 feet higb,
and white as the virgin snow. The walls
also reflected back the light like burnished
silver. They found tbis chamber to be
nearly 100 feet in length and about 70
in width, and as near as they could guess, 25
feet high.
They had now made a circuit around the
chamber, and, striking across toward the
center, they were surprised to find the first
positive evidence of previous occupation.
In the center stood a pyramid built ot heavy
stone, rising in steps on all sides until it
reached the last at a height of eight feet.
Mounted on top of the last stone stood one
of the most hideous, frightful-looking im
ages that the human mind is capable of con
ceiving. Lying close to the base of the pyramid
was the skeleton of what had once been a
man of almost gigantic proportions. Around
the waist was a heavy iron band, securely
riveted together, and to this was fastened
one end of a brass chain of peculiar work
manship about six feet in length, the re
maining end firmly embedded in the solid
base rock. The skeleton was in an excel--lent
state of preservation. On the opposite
side of tbe pyramid another skeleton of
smaller proportions, evidently that of a
female, was found chained in tbe same man
ner. At tbe foot of the pyramid, in the
middle of one side, a small spring of ice
cold water bubbled up, discharging its sur
plus through a niche into a crevice in the
floor. The victims had evidently been
chained within sight and hearing of the
rippling water, but out of reach, and left to
die by starvation or thirst, or both.
THE MANIAC MILLIONAIRE.
E. J.
Lehman Beta Thonsanda nt Imagtnnry
Fnro In Bloomlngdale.
New York Morning Journal.
"Five thousand on the queenl" There is
a momeut's pause, and the same voice
speaks again. "Lost! Ten thousand on the
queen!" Again a pause, longer than before,
and the voice is heard once more. "Lost
again! Twenty thousand on the queen. I'll
win if I have to double the bets all night!"
And so the gambler goes on, losing more
bets upon the painted lady than there ever
were painted ladies in an actual pack of
cards. It is not in a gambling house that
this scene takes place, but in an asylum for
the insane, no other than Bloomingdale.
The better sits alone, without any sign of a
faro layout before him, and yet he goes on
making his wagers, for all the physicians
in New York cbuld not 'convince him th3t
he is not sitting before the green cloth where
be has so often sat.
The victim of the strange delusion is E.
J. Lehman, one of Chicago's most widely
known business men, and a member of the
World's Fair Committee. Lehman has
been a constant patron of the faro banks of
the Windy City, and has been more
than lucky. He has often lost, of course,
and his losses have been tremendous, but he
has always recouped himself with still
larger winnings. To drop $30,000 at a single
sitting, and win double that amount on the
following night, was no unusual occurrence
for the sportive Lehman.
On Thursday he arrived in this city in a
palace car over the New York Central Bail
road. With him were a keeper, physician,
and nurse, and the party were met at Mott
Haven by officials of tbe asylum, to which
he was at once removed.
Mrs. Lehman has applied to the Probate
Court of Cook county lor the appointment

valued at $2,500,000.

Second Sight and Presentiment From
a Scientific Standpoint.
VIEWS OF WELL-KNOWN STUDENTS.

INSTANCB8 OP WARNING T0ICES.
PREFABED FOX THE DISPATCH.
The opinions given below are in response
to a series of questions directed to each of
tbe authorities quoted concerning the gift of
second sight and presentiments:
Prof. Elliott Coues in his response says:
I do believe in presentiments, and that they
occur more frequently than is generally sup
posed. As a rule, they are not attended to at
the time. If attended to the event in ques
tion is avoided and does not come to -pass.
If neglected and then verified after the
event, the scientific value of the evidence is
much impaired or made worthless by the
tricks which memory so often plays us. As
a rule, our hindsight is more reliable than
our foresight .But if time and space allowed
I could give you more than one well
authenticated case of absolute foreknowl
edge of an event, quite unaccountable ex
cept upon tbe theory of presentiment.
You ask what is the most wonderful thing
that ever happened to rne. Being born, I
suppose; though my memory scarcely serves
me here to recount my own experience. The
next most wonderful thing that I have ever
known to happen to another person is dying
to this world, and, I trust, being born into
another by a process as easy and as natural
as that by which one enters the phenomenal
world. But my time presses, and if you
think I have been under fire long enough,

THE SECOND SIGHT.
Second sight is simply another name for
clairvoyance, or the faculty of seeing accu
rate pictures of actual events in the astral
light just as we ordinarily perceive physical
objects with the bodily eye. It is spoken of
in Scotland as the "sixth sense." merely as
another than the five senses of ordinary
sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch. It is
not peculiar to Scotland, but is specially
associated with that country in the minds of
ngiisn-speaking people for two reasons:
First, the popularity of Sii Walter Scott's
novels; second, the well-known fact in
psychic science, that highlands favor the de
velopment of psychometrical faculties, so
that a larger percentage of persons can use
these faculties in high'than in low countries.
Another reason occurs to me. Scotland has
been almost literally drenched in blood
during former wars, and fresh human blood
is peculiarly attractive to certain classes of
sub-human creatures, as the astral elenien
tals, whose insidious commerce with human
astral bodies makes itself felt in various
strange forms of obsession, with its attend
ant sorceries.
Dr. Allan McLaue Hamilton says: I do
not believe in presentiment as it is usually
understood. In the cases that have come
under my notice there has always been a
strong suspicion, if not an absolute cer
tainty, ot either coincidence or a perfectly
reasonable chain of anticipatory events.
A MAGICIAH'3 OPINIONS.
Kellar, tbe magician, writes as follows: I
have been a student, and am searching for
light. I think that second sight is another
form of presentiment, and that there are
many persons who are gifted with the re
markable power of seeing occurrences that
take place at a great distance from the seer.
We have many well authenticated accounts
of persons who have seen a perfect panorama
of a death, a murder, shipwreck, etc., either
before the event actually took place or
during its occurrence, although the persons
who had the visions were far awav from the
scenes, and could have had no foreknowl
edge of the affair by any of the ordinary
means of knowledge. I believe Joan of Arc
is a most wonderful example of a person
having this faculty of seeing visions and
hearing voices. A very interesting work on
this subject is "A Treatise on the Second
Sight," by Theophiluslnsulanus, published
by Euddman Auld & Co., Edinburgh, 18G3.
When I was in Allahabad, India, I was,
one afternoon, reclining in an easy chair at
my hotel. An old Hindoo, with a long
white beard, glided into my room, salaamed
and entered into conversation with me. He
informed me that I possessed, a wonderful
power, of which I knew little or nothing
myseli'. Thinking be alluded to my feats
of magic, I assured him that I possessed no
power beyond that of ordinary mortals, and
that any intelligent person could perform
the same feats with prsctice and study. He
said that this was not the power to which he
alluded, that he knew my business was
trickery and deception, but that I possessed
a power with which few men were gifted
that of appearing at two places at the same
time.
A PECULIAB DROWSINESS.
He continued for some time in this strain,
until I became thoroughly bored, and hav
ing no interest in the subject which he dis
cussed in so drawling a manner, and not
wishing to offend him by excusing myself,
I soon fell into a drowse. I was at first
conscious that sleep was fast getting the
better of me, and once or twice
pinched myself to keep awake, but it was
useless ana a. leu asleep. When L awoke
the aged Hindoo was gone. I thought
nothing more of the Hindoo until I reached
Delhi, when, altera Turkish bath, for which
that city is famous, I returned to my hotel,
sought rest in a chair, when, to my surprise,
my Allahabad friend entered the room.
After passiDg the compliments of the day
and inquiring if I was surprised at seeing
him, he proceeded to foretell certain events
which actually took place after.
They may have been simply coincidences,
but if so thev were certainly remarkable,
and I relate them to you just as they oc
curred. He told me I was eointr from
Delhi to Calcutta, and from there to Austra
lia, where, he informed me, I would be
ill for a year. I told him it was easy
for him to know where I was going to
from Delhi, as I was already advertised in
the Calcutta papers, but that he was cer
tainly mistaken about my going to Austra
lia, as I intended to go from Calcutta to
China, in fact I had made all my arrange
ments and hud written ahead to theaters iu
China. He still insisted that, notwith
standing this I would go to Australia from
Calcutta, and after some further talk he left.
I went to Calcutta, and after my engage
ment there I started for China, via Singa
pore. When I arrived at Singapore I rc
ceivod letters from China informing me
that the theaters at both Hong Kong and
Shanghai were engaged for three months by
other parties, and that it was impossible for
He to get possession of them.
THE AGED HINDOO WAS BIGHT.
This, of course, compelled me to change
my route, and I went to Java, intending to
remain there until the theaters in China
eould be secured. On my arrival in Java I
was stricken with the Java fever and my
physicians ordered me to leave tbe country
at onee and go to a colder climate. So,
much against my inclination, I took the
first steamer for Australia, and arriving at
Melbourne I was compelled to undergo a
severe surgical operation, the effects of
which confined me to my bed for just one
year. Upon my recovery I made'a tour of
Australia and New Zealand, and then went
to China. Upon my arrival there,two years
after I had intended to go there, I met my
old friends, Harry Wicking and Colonel
Parnell, a brother of Charles S. Parnell.
These two gentlemen insisted in all serious
ness tbat they had seen and recognized me
in China at the .time I had originally in
tended being there, but when I was in real
ity sick in Australia.
The most wonderful thUg that Tr hap
pened to me? Well, on the 12th of last De
cember, after my performance iu the citv of
Buffalo, I repaired to my room at tbe Tifft
House. There was a bright fire burning, in
the grate, which, after Mrs. Kellar and my
self retired, cast a soft glow through the
room, enabling ns to see plainly any object.
Sucdenly a loud and continuous rapping
took place all around the bed. This con
tinued until ourcuriosity became thoroughly
aroused, and my wife was not a little
alarmed. As I could imagine no cause for
the noises produced I, in a spirit of fun,
asked: "Are there any spirits about?"
when suddenly the loud rapping ceased and
there were two distinct knocks on the head
of the bed.
SOME WONDEEFUI, EAPPINGS.
"I asked: "Do you wish to communicate
with me?" Again there were two knocks.
I inquired, "What will you do for 'yes?' "
Again twp knocks. I inquired, "What
will you do for no?' " Then one knock. I
then asked, "Are vou the spirit of a male
friend?" One knock. I asked, "Are you
the spirit of a female friend?" Two knocks;
I asked, "Do you want the alphabet?" Two
knocks. I called the alnhabet from A until
I came to the letter K, when suddenly there
were two knocks. I repeated this process
of calling the alphabet, noting the letters
when the rapping appeared, and there were
two knocks after each of the following let
ters were pronounced: "K-E-L-L-A-E
S-U-C-C-E-S-S E-C-L-E-E."
Then all rapping ceased. My wife and I
now had our curiosity thoroughly aroused,
feeling convinced that some one was con
cealed in the room and was playing a prac
tical Joke. I searched the room carefully,
found the door bolted on the inside; the
communicating room was also searched and
the door connecting that room with the hall
was also bolted on the inside. There wan
no chance for any one to be concealed in
either of the rooms, as I searched every part
most carefully, even going so tar as to look
into Mrs. .Cellar's large trunk. I also care
fully examined the bed where the noises ap
peared, in the hope of finding some method
bv which the noises might have been com
municated by electricity from the outside,
but utterly failed to discover any solution
of the mystery. There was evidently a
manifestation of an intelligent force at work,
which is still to me absolutely inexplicable.
TESTS ABE NOT PERMITTED.
Daniel Greenleaf Thompson writes: The
subject of clairvoyance, or second sight, is a
verv mysterious one. I have known of
some things told by clairvoyants which
seem to me to indicate a knowledge quite
inexplicable; the great difficulty, however,
with all these people is their unwillingness
to allow the application of scientific tests.
By this unwillingness they raise against
themselves a presumption of fraud which
makes it impossible to count for truth their
word in recard to anvthincr. There ia in
the city of Brooklyn a young woman by the'
uauic ui iuuiiiu fauuuer, wuu wtiom inenus
of mine are personally acquainted, who
suffering many years from disease sees most
unaccountably strange things beyond the
reach of ordinary senses and tbe ordinary
intelligence. She is an invalid, and many
wonderful stories are told about her which
are substantiated by clear-headed and honest
citizens like Prof. Charles E. West, for ex
ample, and many-others.
But this woman is so opposed to being
made a subject for investigation that sbe
will not permit the slightest exhibition of
scientific interest in her or in her case; and
although it is said that sbe can see people
and their doings who are outside of the reach
of ordinary visual power, yet when Dr.
Hammond proposed to give her a check for
an amount exceeding 500 if she would read
the check in a sealed envelope, she declined
to do so on the ground that she did not wish
to be made a show of. Of course, it is im
possible to do anything in such a case as
this, and the only inference is one adverse
to the honesty of the party principally con
cerned. THE SIXTH SENSE ATEOPHIED.
Seth Pancuast answers as follows: Second
sight is obtained through the subjective or
esoteric state of consciousness. It results
from intuitive perception. Man has two
distinct sources for conscions perception;
one objective, the other subjective. The
former is through neutral activities; the lat
ter through' mental activities. The second
sight is the sixth sense, which is completely
ignored by scientists and almost emphat
ically by the church consequently by the
masses. The Kabbalists cultivated this
sight and brought it to great perfection,
which enabled them not only to have access
to the esoteric cosmos, but to know God and
study this noumenon of tbe casual world.
Our Savior possessed this seDse in a high
state of cnltivation, which enabled .Him to
perform the alleged miracles attributed to
Him. If His teachings and examples had
been carried out as he designed they should
have been, this sense would have been resus
citated as in previous centuries; and religion
would have progressed and kept pace
with science. Christianity, as taught
and practiced, does not meet the arguments
of the age. Eeligious teachings are in
tended to develop the moral precepts of the
emotions. When these become potent the
subjective sense becomes awakened, and by
proper training access will soon be had to
the esoteric cosmos. Life on the earth was
intended for this very purpose; it's a life of
spiritual probation; as much so as foetal and
embryotic life is one of physical probation.
I have seen this awakening of this faculty
the sixth sense very frequently just pre
vious to death. When that state of semi
unconsciousness occurs, just before the life
ceases, it is followed by a sweet expression
of countenance which continues after rigor
mortis has occurred. Those who perceive
this esoteric realization would not return to
earth if tbe wealth of India were laid at
their feet. The world does not know what
it has lost by permitting this sixth sense to
become spiritually atrophied.
COMMON IN NEBVOCS CONSTITUTIONS.
Alexander Wilder writes: Whether, with
our finite powers and limited nature there
can possibly be a "case of absolute and un
accountable foreknowledge of an evnt" I
am very much disposed to question. We
approximate the absolnte but don't arrive at
it. Yet it may be that the terms of the in
terrogations should be understood relatively
only. In suctr case I would consider a vivij
impression on the mind, which could not be
accounted for by any common explanation,
as of a nature of foreknowledge. Dreams
may be of this character. I would have
most confidence in a presentiment or warn
ing when the individual was of frugal hab
its, sober, thoughtful, and of a sensitive nerv
ous constitntion. Jung-Stilling, Zschpkke
and Socrates were men of this character. I
have presentiments myself, both in regard
to individuals and matters to be undertaken.
If they are disregarded it generally proves
unfortunate. Persons whom I icel to be
worthy or unworthy, wholesome or un
wholesome for me to be associated with, gen
erally prove as tnese sensiDinties indicate;
still, from habit, necessity or circumstance,
or other considerations, I often pay no heed
to these matters, and they pass from my
mind like idle stories.
Seriously, the most wondcrlul thing is to
live and have some reasonable conception
of what it means. I think that the most
wonderful providences of life are those
which seem most commonplace. Yet sev
eral events have occurred to me which were
more or less unusual, and yet of vital im
portance. Most of my peculiar studfes were
thrnst upon me, as it were, without a
previous purpose or intention of my own,
though with an interior aptitude for them.
I had planned one thing and was perforce
turned toward another. Whatever of
worldly prosperity I have enjoyed comes
from such ways.
My life was once preserved by a, voice, or
rather an impression, such as a voice will
give. I was a farmer's son, and brought
up in that walk of life. One day while
cutting down a tree, dead and a'ecaying,
and without a Jimb, I felled it awkwardly
gainst another close by. I had-resnmed
my chopping, , when an impression, like a
peremptory command, was perceived in the
middle of the head and darted to the
epigastric region: "Stand back!" Instantly
I obeyed, going backward about eight feet
Just at that moment tbe broken top of the
tree, several inches in diameter, struck the
ground exactly where I had been stepping
backward, with such force as almost to bury
itself in the soft earth. It wonld have re
quired bat . ilsgli Map ltM to hit a.
