"A little authority ia thero for the notion of tbe bappy land "far, far away." Tbe Illble never ao repreaenta It. lbe heavenly Jerusa lem la a holy city let down to the earth. Heaven li at hand. If It bai geographical limits of any sort, earth Is not beyond them. What powers of soul flight to the other and far-off worlds tbe soul may poatoss, who can tally What explorations It may make Into the secrets of tbe universe into which telescope and spectroscope pry in vain, who dare iruos&T The aura may be other continents whither the emancipated wander, as here we travel through foreign countries, earning our bodies like heavy and cunibcrnon baggage. llut whatever other landa may be opened to tbo winged cplrlts, tbe earth ie not closed to them. What ever otber companionship may bo tneirs, tho companionship of earth is not denied them. They are all ministering spirits; we live and walk in the midst of them. If our ears were adjusted to such delicate music, we might hear their songs: If our ejesnero not so gross and sensuous, we might perceive their now invisible forms. "When tbe prophet touched the eyes of the young man, and be looked up, he saw the horizon full of tbe horses and chariots of tbe Lord encamped aronnd Elisba: they were not then summoned from a tar-ofl land for bis protection. When Elisba recalled tbe wandering spirit of tbe boy to tbe dead bodj, it had not far to travel to return to its earthly tent. When Christ called In a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth," the spirit was within bearing and could obey. When Christ liunc on the cros. with the dvlnr thief bnik'n him, he was ablo to ray, "This day sbalt thou be with me In paradise." No long Interval of weary centuries was to be first wasted In nseless Bleep. When 1'aul, Imprisoned at Home, looked Xnruard with longing to the hour of bis libera tion. It was nut that he might Hud Job's coucb, where tbe wicked ceaso from troubling and the weary are at rest, but that bo tnlght depart and be with Christ, which is far better." HELl'IKO THE MINISTER.

Hit appear ance at tbe first glance was not prepossess ing. The shock of hair which surmounted his temples of knowledge would demand, according to a popular superstition, if car ried by a lndy.n white horse, either in the managing editor's room or at least coming upstairs. He said: "I nm from Westmoreland county, and my name ii Phyno." "Gfye us your fin. my friend," genially responded the city editor, Jlr.

"I am content with my lot, OOxlAO In (he vicinity ol Oreditburff, but without wishing to pose as a pliiUmliroplit, or to rival Bt.

I got a black snake, eight feet long, which lies under a tree on my farm and plays tbe accordion. He puts his tail through one loop of tbe instrument bis bead through tho the other, and touch ing the keys with his tongue, reuders "Annie Lfurie" in a manner which would make the angels weep. Tbe only puzzle I have now is to secure some kind of a fiddle to be played in a duet with the bow be makes while rendering sweet strains. The snakes of Westmoreland come flocking in droves to hear their musical friend perform, and I am now prepared to furnish all the museums of the country. You see, he never makes a false note, as his tongue is a tuning lork, and " At this moment the electric light plant slipped a cog, the lights went out, and when again the room was illuminated the honest Westmoreland granger had disappeared. When tbe Coroner finds an unknown victim by the river-side he might as well invite witnesses from Greensburg for investigative purposes. SUING FOR DAMAGES.

Mrs. EcUerl, the Brldo of Two Days, Didn't Die of Natural Canaes What tbe In quest Developed ttoash on Kate Did the Woik. The Coroner held an inquest yesterday on tbo body of Mrs. Ella Eckcrt, who died after a couple of days' sickness at her home on Forty-Three-and-IIalf street, Seven teenth ward. The case appeared on a super ficial examination to be death from natural causes, but a careful examination by doc tors showed that death was duo to inflamma tion ol the stomach, caused by tbe introduc tion into it of poison. This discovery Iod the Coroner to go into a careful and thor ough examination of the case. In looking about for evidence be found a box of rough on rats in tho alley beneath the dead girl's bouse and also n young lndy named Miss Alice Kimer wno sum mat Mrs. Uckert bad told her that sbo had taken a doss of rough on rats. Charles Kckert, husband of tho deceased, testified as follows! "I was married to Ella Ilrccht on Tuesday last by ltev, Father Charles, at the German Church, on Ilutler sited. 1 always thought my wile was in love with tne until a abort time belore we were married, One oveulne 1 was talking with her anil noticed a decided coolness to m id me, 1 asked her wlmt it nieniil.niid Mie replied that the could not lovsinsfli she titiljlil to, 1 asked why, Mhe. talrii '1 lavs ml miter man belter tlmn you, and can't help 11 1 Aked her who the iiinn was, but die would not (ell me. 1 fftlit to her Hint it niimt be John Medlnnl", nnd alia would Disks no i fjily, Then I was sure that he win the man, We bad Appointed several time to have the marriage ceremony parfornieil( but pome thliiff. lutnneiied eeli time, The day we were married Kiln was sick In bed, nnd we had to have leather Charles onme to her bedside aid marry us, I have here the box of rough on rats that wai found in the alley," Mlohnel llreolil, father of Mrs, Kokert, saidi "I gave my consent to tho marriage of my dauiihter to Charles Kokert, I know nothing about the cause of tier sickness, I limply knew that ehu had cramps, nnd had a doctor attending her." Dr. Cameron said! "I attended Mrs. Ella Eckert. I gave u prescription without see ing tier, nnd then wus subsequently called to see the deceased. When I saw her I thought there was something wrong, When she tiled I refused to give a certificate of death, and sent word to the Coroner what I thought of the case. My opinion is that death was caused by poison," The caio was then given to the Jury, A verdict of suicide while despondent was rendered.

M. A. woodward ap peared for the plaintiffs. He maintained that the school board had no authority to lease sobool property, and it could only be used for school purposes, and further, that to sink an oil well on the premises would be creating a nuisance that would unfit tho place for sobool purposes. Messrs. Young, Trent and Briant ap peared for the defendants. They main tained that tbe board bad the right to lease unused school property, and that the well was in the far corner of tne ground from tbe school house, and would not prove a nui sance.

JudgoTbomss Drtlm mond, of tbe United States Circuit Court, and ono of the oldest and best-known Jurists in tbo country, died suddenly at Wheaton. 111., this morning. Ho was appointed Clr cult Judge in 18C0, and continued In offlco until 1844, whon fie retired on account of ill health. Ho was rarely qualified, and one of the ablest of cotemporary Jurists. His age was 80 years and 7 months, In Bristol, Llnooln county, Me., where his grandfather moved from Scotland boforo the Revolution, Thomas Drummond was born on October 10, 1800, His father was a sailor, and his son was brought up amoog tbe wholesome surroundings of the fields and tho sea, where ho gained experiences without which ills future distinction as a lawyer, especially In admiralty oases, would have been Impossible, Ills lather served for years lu Iho Malno Legislature, and died in 1837. Thomas Drummoud graduated from How doln College, at Ilrunswlok, Me., in 1830, at the age of 21, doing to I'hlliidalphla. he studied law III the ofllee of William T, Dwlght, son of President D wight, of Ynl College, but when this patron entered the ministry, Mr, Drummond finished his studies In the oflioo of Thomas Bradford. Jr,. and was admitted to practice at tho bar in Maroh, 1834, lie moved to Qalona, III,, In 1H33 and took a prominent position from the first. As a stnuneh Whig he was elected to tbe Illinois Slate Legislature In 1840, and served out the first and last elective of. flea he ever held, lie built up a lucrative praotlce and a reputation as a keen, profound and honora ble Jurist that induoed Tresldent Taylor to name him ns the successor of Judge Na thaniel Tope, of the United States Diitrlot Court of Illinois, In 1880, In 1894 Judge Drummond made Chicago his home, and in 18SS he was named asjudge of tho newly organized Northern Djtriot of Illinois.

He retired alter 34 years' servloe as a Federal Judge, In which he won tho respect, the admiration and tbe affection of his fellow citizens. WE CAN ALL HYPNOTIZE, A Fhyslelan Ban There Is Nothing Mlraen Iobi or Exclusive) Abont li. "I have never known a man," says Dr. Joshua Thome, in the St. Louis Olobe Democrat, "who gave hypnotism proper study who could not master tbe science. For my own part, I can hypnotize about five out of every ten men and eight ont of every ten women I try, and do so without any difficulty. Of course I cannot say what force really puts people to sleep and tem porarily suspends certain of their bodily and mental functions, but I know of my own knowledge and from my own long ex perience that there is no miraculous transfer of anything lrom one body to another. Something shining on which the sight can be riveted helps to send the snbject off. As to hypnotism being resorted to by smart thieves and others to get victims into their power, I think there bas been a great deal of exaggeration. It Is next to impossi ble to get a well man under control without his consent, nnless you have previously hypnotized him. Then you can put up your little finger and he will obey you.
