Her Itrmh nnl Failure to lllio
According to 1'romlaei
The followers of "Dora of Byron"
tylo themselves "Perfectionists," and
their headquarters arc at Byron, Oglo
county, III. Byron is a small village of
about 700 inhabitants, eighty-nine miles
vest of Chicago. Although first settled
about fifty years ago, tho population of
the entire township does not exceed 1,000 ;
but nearly all tho inhabitants arc, if not
wealthy, exceedingly well-to-do.
; Tho attention of the stranger is not
called to the Perfectionists, for the
greater part of the people of Byron look
upon them with aversion. While seated
in the otlice of the Commercial house a
correspondent cf the New York Star was
given some information about this curi
ous sect bv the proprietor . of the hotel,
Mr. J. F. Spalding, who is also ono of
the village trustees.
Mr. Spalding said : "I have lived in By
ron for more than thirty years. I know all
about these people, and whatever I tell
you, you may depend upon as being cor
rect. In 1870 tho Bev. J. C. Bookman
came here and assumed tho pastorate of
the Congregational church, lie is an
able man, and his preaching gave satis
faction. So, at. the end of "the year, he
was invited to remain. During the
smin'T of 1877 his wife, Dora Beckman,
claimed to have received manifestations
from God that she was the true Christ,
and called urton all true Christians to be
lieve in her. From the start a consider
able number of persons became her fol
lowers. She went to Alpena, Mich., and
there made several more converts to her
belief, among them the Bev. George Jacob
Swcinforth, pastor cf the Methodist
church at Alpena. Mr. Sweinforth wa9
enthusiastic in his advocacy of Mrs.
Beekman's belief that she was the mani
festation of the coming of tho second
Christ, and upon her return from Alpena
to Bvron he accompanied her
" This could not fail to make trouble
for Mr. Beekman amonphis church mem
bers. It was said, and I don't think
there's much doubt of it, that for a year
she dictated all his sermons. At first
he fell in with her ideas, but she carried
them so far that at last he openly re
volted. At the end of the second year
of his ministry tho members of the
church held a meeting to determine
whether or not Mr. Beekman should bo
dismissed from his charge. Forty-five
members voted to dismiss him, and only
eight voted that ho bo retained. An
extra Quarter's salary was voted him, and
ho signified his intention of leaving
Byron, but his wife desired to remain
hpr and he vielded to her wishes. Sho
annen red to control him in all things ex
cept his belief, and, though opposed to
her in this, ho quietly let her go on in
her own way.
" So Mrs. Beekman went on. exhort
inor and reaching in various places and
adding members to her following, always
assisted by Mr. Sweinforth. Tbero are
in Bvron about fortv Perfectionists, and
tho total membership of the sect I do
not think exceeds 200. But now let me
tell you of the strangest part of tho
whole business:
"Mrs. Beekman died last April in
Buena Vista, Col., where she had estab
lished a comnanv of her followers. Her
husband was notified that she was ill, but
it was not until thelay after her death
that ho was telegraphed to that effect.
7'ho Perfectionists, holding that she was
Christ, insisted that she would rise agaiu
an the third day, and refused to embalm
her remains until the fourth day had
passed and mortification had set in. They
then embalmed the body jnd started with
it for Byron, coining by the way of Kan
sas City and Chicago, and arriving here
eight days after Mr. Beekman's death.
They placed the coffin in the yard, in
; front of Mr. Beekman's residence, do
rlininar to carry it into tho house. They
also refused to permit the cotlin to be
Dpened. Well, the coffin was finally
opened and the body of Mrs. Beekman
wiis there, bevoud a doubt. Then the
townsfolk were satisfied, and tho re
mains were interred in the village ceme
tery. The Perfectionists, having been
disappointed in that their Christ did not
rise again on the third day, they boldly
asserted that she would reappear on earth
nt tho end of forty days, but in this, too,
they were left in the cold, and it has
rather staggered them."
A visit was made to the house of Mr.
Beekman, but it was learned that ho had
gone to Borneo, Mich., on a visit to his
brother, who lives there. The house is
a commodious one, and was given to
Christ (i. e.. Mrs. Beekman) by her fol
lowers. When she died it passed into
the hands of her husband. I he Perfec
tiouists did not like this, and tried to get
, possession of it. But as they had form
ally deeded it to Mrs. Beekman, upon her
death it legally became the property of
her husband.
Of Mr. Beekman no one in Byron has
anything but good to say, excepting
always the Perfectionists, who cannot
fop'ive him for opposing their belief and
for retaining lKisscssion of the homo they
gave his wife. He is one of the most
popular men in the town, and at present
tills the office of village clerk. He is a
regular attendant of the Congregational
church, and frequently speaks in the
church meetings. He is loved for his
undoubted goodness, and is pitied for the
Sorrows he has been called upon to bear.
Mrs. Beekman is described by ono who
knew her well to have been a handsome
lady, slight in frame, but with great
powers of endurance. Her learning is
spoken of as something remarkable.
Sho was a brilliant speaker, and her
powers of magnetism were feuch that she
held the attention of her listeners until
she had finished speaking. She has been
known to speak continuously for three
hours. In conversing with her some
' difficulty was experienced, from tho fact
that she was slightly deaf. No one
questions her sincerity, but it was very
generally nmeveu inaisue wus era)...
The Perfectionists say that the wo
" Don" means " Christ," and notwith
standincr the fact that the three-day and
the fortv-dav theory of Mrs. Beekman's
rising from the dead have proved false,
their faith that she wit really tho true i
Christ remains unshaken. They claim
that her mantle has fallen ca Mr. gweiu
fortb., and that they can e her spirit
Commercial Gazette from London: It is
probable that Professor Fawcett w ill live in
history as tho Ideal blind man. The ex
pression of blinduess is all over him, and
in every smallest movement, contrasting
at every moment with the tokens of his
triumph over it. His habitual loud voice
in conversation, that of ono who cannot
measure tho distance of those to whom
ho is speaking f his unaltered look a9 ono
approaches, until his hand is touched or
he is spoken to, and tho suddenness of
his smile then; his intent air, as of ono
concentrating all other means of percep
tion to make up for tho absence of sight;
nnd, moro than all these small con
ventionalities, or tricks of mannncr which
people unconsciously copy from ono
another; these havo moro and moro
become tho visible characteristics of
Professor Fawcett as his real and intellec
tual mastery has increased. So that he is as
unique among the blind in actual powers as
he is outwardly among the seeing. He has
few equals in fly-fishing, is a capital
skater, and knows all the flowers and
vegetables iu his garden n9 well as his
gardener, in all their stages of growth.
Not long ago he was walking with Sir
Joseph Hooker in Kcw gardens, and
talked about the trees and ponds and
paths with such appreciation, expressing
the wish that the public might enjoy
them oftcner, that Sir Joseph forgot that
he was talking to a blind man, and told
him that he (Fawcett) was welcome to
enter tho gardens at any timo of tho
night or day. His wife has been such
eyes to him that ho constantly speak9 of
having "seen in the papers" this and
that. He goes home from parliament.
across many streets and turnings, and if
the cabman drives a yard beyond the
door he is at once checked. He rarely
fails to name tho person who speaks to
him, however long the timo since their
meeting.
I remember as a very impressive oc
casion, one on wnicn tno pupns oi mo
College for the Blind were gathered athi9
mansion by tho Duko of Devonshire,
where they and their friends were ad
dressed by Professor Fawcett. These
atllicted youths of all ages and both sexes
sat before the tall intellectual man, who
seemed to be their natural representative.
His address was simple, cheerful and
in every way felicitous. - lie said that he.
thought blind people received an un
necessary amount of condolence cn their
loss. While it was right that they
should be speedily aided, the sympathy
with them need not bo sorrowful. They
missed the dismal and ugly sights of tho
world, and their powerfully stimulated
imaginations saw the world chiefly in its
beauty, if they were in health and com
fort. They constantly heard descrip
tions of things, and these, especially if
they had once enjoyed sight, became to
the blind so real tliat they were apt to
take their place in memory as things
actually seen.

Hen Lore.
The natur of women an' hens has
somehow or 1nuther got mixed up ; but
I don't see how tho hen is to blame.
But thero is this difference between
women an' a hen ; all hens is fools, but
all women ain't. But you can drivo a
hen about as well as a woman.
A rooster knows more'n a heu, but he
don't allcrs show it. Tho rooster is a
negative cuss. He struts around with
an I-know-all-about-it-but-I-ain't-goin'-
to-tell sort of an air, an' so sometimes we
are left in doubt as to his intelligence
But, as a fair-minded critic, we are bound
to erive him the credit ot that aouDt,
But whether or not the rooster has moro
sense than a hen, he aiu't-all the timo
getting into foolish scrapes like a hen.
A hen will run back and forth along
side of a fence fortv or fifty times, tryin
to cct over into tho next yard, and go
every timo within two foot of an open
crate, but never any nearer to it at any
time, and will finally git mad an' fly
over, a shriekin' an' cut-cuttaring, an'
makin' as much fuss generally as a
woman does when she finds tho fortygaff
of a strange woman in her husband's coat
pocket. An w hen she gets on tno ouicr
tide of the fence she don't know what
she came for.
A dog is a Solomon in all his glory
aside of a brainless hen. He don't pick
up a bone an' shako it like it was a rat,
tryin' to get the meat on. nut xno iooi
of a hen w ill pick at a loose cabbage leaf
an hour, an' only get a few mouthfuls,
instid of stannin' on it an' goin' lor it in a
business-like style. But the hen is a nat-
eral fool, an' can never learn nnything.
The quickest way to brake up a settin'
hen is to let 'em set on something that
will hatch. I have tried everything,
from chiny eggs to shingle nails, but
nolhin of that kind will hatch as quick
ns L'ood ctrirs: an' as the hen generally
sticks till suthiu' is hatched, valuable
timo is saved by using eggs.
"Hell hath no furies like women
skorned," except a wttin' hen that is
meddle! with just after sho has got
fairly souat on a "stole" nestful of eggs.
Hens is all fools, but tho hen what
tries to crow like a rooster is a little moro
so. Oh, how like hens are some women
we don't know!

A Parusjruph About Bricks.
Bidinc from Ncwburcr with a young
fellow who lives at Haverstraw, I asked
him how the brick works were doiLg
there. Said he: ' The chief industry of
Haverstraw is making bricks. Tho
brick works shut clown in very cold
weather as the moisture in the clay then
frosts. Consequently tho briekmakers
have long terms of idleness, and it is not
a good place for a poor man to live.
Nearly all the bricks now are made by
machines and about nine men work to a
machine. The old system of putting
the clay in by hand and smoothing it oil
with a trowel is over. The brick ma
chines can only run a part of a day as
they have to stop and fill up with clay.
They will turn out 18,000 and more
bricks in a day. The bricks," said my
forniant, "are about fs.ou a mousanti,
hink, now." JVrto tork 1 rioitne.

A King: as a Brut!'.
1 have heard Mr. I.eitch relate many
curious incidents which fell under his
notice when nt Borne nt this time. Of
the following I have his own account in
writing:
"Among my pupils was Lady Ogle,
wife of Admiral Sir Charles Ogle.
Freauentlv. when I was giving a lesson,
sho would be visited by ladies of her
neouaintnnce. including many of the
Italian nobility. On ono of these oc
casions tho servant announced 'LaPrin
cipessa Colonna.' She sat down
opposite where I was .painting, and she
and Lady Ogle had a good deal of con
versation. Although I knew Italian I
paid little attention to what they were
saying, till tho princess, getting excited,
used the words ' lnfame and best la
and I observed Lady Ogle look surprised,
and ask her friend to tell her nil about it
'I was present.' said the princess, 'and
saw it all;' and then she proceeded to
rcl the following, which I translate
as nearly as I can in her own words:
"'ion must know that wtien tno
king (Ferdinand II., "Bomba") mar
ried tho Sardinian princess at Turin, ho
staved for a day or two in Borne on his
return to Naples, nnd his holiness
(Gregory XVI.) was graciously pleased
to pay his majesty a visit ot congratula
tion. On tlie occasion a very select
p?,rty was got together at the Neapolitan
ambassador's, consisting of cardinals,
monsignori, and sonic of tho old noblo
families. Hio pope was very gracious
to the new queen. He had heard of her
musical accomplishments, nnd especially
of her great interest in church music,
and as sho said sho was devoted to Mar-
cello, his holiness asked if sho would
havo the kindness (geutilczza) to ting
his favorite, No. 28 of the psalms.
Tho queen replied that to do so would
be a great honor. In tho meantime the
king, her husband, was sitting uy, suiuy,
silcut and gloomy, with his elbow resting
on tho piano. Tho queen turned to him
and said playfully that he must turn the
leaves for her. For answer his majesty
of the Two Sicilies rose and kicked the
stool from below tho queen, who fell
heavily on the marble floor. I need not
tell you, dear Lady Ogle, of tho scene
which followed. The king immediately
left without speaking. The poor queen
was carted to a bedroom, and I took my
departure, when two great doctors, wh
had been hastily sent for, arrived. I
heard that tho pope was terribly
jhocked. ' " Good Words.

1 Like an Evil Spirit.
In cklcn limes it was thought that evil spirits came in through cracks
and keyholes. The generally approved way to keep them out was to pluj
up the keyholes and stop-'die cracks with cotton. Notwithstanding these
pi'cyc-ntivVir.eastlrC9rt'he evii things had their own way and often came in
V3, .iViey pleased. - ..'.'.' . ' .'.:'. .''.'- .
So comes malaiia now-a-days. We try to keep it out of the kcj holt
and it comes in by the crack. We stop up the crack, and lo ! it comes from
a leak in the plumbing, or an opening from some neglected drain, or from
come unsuspected source anil unguarded direction. . .-;. .
' We cannot always keep malaria out, but we can give it battle and
drive its effects from our systems. If Brown's Iron Bitters is taken in
lime, malaria ha3 not a chost of a chance. This is the great family medi
cine, Vour druggist sells it, und you ouht to keep a bottle ia the house,
