THE PRESCIENCE OF THE MIND—A SIN-
GULAK STORY—SrlKITS OB CLAIR-
VOYANCI.
N. Y. Sun.]
I have intimate acquaintance with
a lady in one of the counties of Kan-
sas who is of Scotch descent, well
bred, intelligent, and truthful. With
in a part of her family relationship
she exhibits at intervals an excep
tional mental endowment, either sub
jection to impression on the brain
from great distances, or the perva
sion of space with her sense sensibili
ty, or clairvoyance, or spirit medi-
untship. Which is it?
The periods at which this condition
is active coincide with niifortuncs to
distant members of her family. Her
sisters are endowed as she is.—
Throughout their lives they have had
immediate intelligence of disaster in
the familv by dreams, subsequently
confirmed in every instance by letter
or telegram. These dreams arc vis
ions of tilings seen, not messages by
word or by sound. They are pictures
of events as if seen with the eyes in
the daytime.
3Iy Kansas friend lias a dream,
bare in outline, severe in simplicity,
witli not a word ot speech, rap, or
motion of pantomime in it, with no
ghostly shade in the chamber. Site
wakes up with a lull knowledge of a
misfortune that lias happened to a
blood relative. Her vision intelli
gence covers only relations by blood.
Relatives by marriage may" die, be
wounded, dr violently killed, and the
sisters will know nothing of it. And
tliis clairvoyance or incdiiimship
does not extend to tlic male line in
the family. It is restricted to the fe
males. Now for a dream which Sirs.
—destribes:
“My brother Dan had disease of the
lungs. It was aggravated by expos
ure and hard service in the army of
the Potomac. Rendered unfit for
duty, he threw up Ills commission in
the Pennsylvania Bucktnils and went
to Cuba. At that time 1 was living
in Terra Haute, Idiana. My husband
was absent in the army of the Cum
berland. A lady friend lived in tlic
house witli me. One day 1 received
n letter from him in which he said
that he was strong, that tlic disease
of his lungs seemed to have passed
away, and that he intended to lake
the next steamer for New York, and
then go into the Lcathcrcrackcr re
gion of Pennsylvania and .settle his
affairs. Tlic settlement made, lie in
tended to return to Cuba and engage
in business, lie urged me to meet
him at Altoona, and be with him (lu
ring liis short stay in this country.—
An impending battle in the South
west, where iny husband was station
ed, made me undecided about going.
I hesitated, not knowing whether to
meet my brother as he requested, or
remain at home until after the battle
and until I had heard from my hus
band. I went to bed at 10 p. in., and
dropped to sleep at once.
“At 10)£ I was awakened by a short
vivid dream of warning. Alarmed, I
roused my friend and said : *1 have
my warning. Something is the mat
ter with Dan.’ My friend laughed at
I soon recovered from iny nerv
ousness, and again dropped to sleep.
Instantly it seemed the scene was
changed. I was on the cars travel
ing eaat. Opposite me sat a white-
haired man who had a covered bas
ket on his knees. There was a hole
in the cover of the basket. The aged
■nan occasionally peered into this
hole. I was curious of the contents of
the basket, and was pleased when I
discovered there were fish in it. The
train stopped for dinner. Getting
out I met a lady that I knew end we
had dinner together. I have forgot
ten the name of this station, but I re
member that there was a misspelled
sign over an adjoining restaurant.—
The incidents of the dream were
those of a journey from Terre Haute
to Altoona. I was happy, pleased
with the changing scenery, and thor
oughly enjoyed the trip. I looked
forward to meeting my brother at
Altoona, and in the dream I never
doubt that I would meet him.
Soon after my Western train ran
into the depot at Altoona, the East
ern train came thundering in. I
stood by a post on the* platform
watching the passengers get off the
train, expecting to see my brother. 1
began to doubt his being on tlic train
when an expressman passed ine
wheeling a great box on a truck. I
looked through this box as though it
were a clear glass. In the box was a
coffin, and lying in tlic coffin was my
brother One glance showed me that
he was dressed in heavy gray Scotcli
twill. From a button-hole of liis
coat hung a black ribbon. Oil his
feet were shoes that had perforated
toes. Never having seen shoes of this
style, they attracted my notice. The
expressman wheeled the box ■ past
me and it was put on the express car
for Ilollidaysburg. I got on the
Ilollidaysburg train also.
The intense vivcdncss of tlic dream
awoke me, I sat up in bed crying.—
My friends arose, lighted tlic gas,
and talked to me. With tears stream
ing down my face, I insisted Hint
Dan was dead. The hands of the
mantle clock indicated 11 p. in.—
Knowing that something was wrong,
I resolved to go home on tlic day tliut
my brother had requested. Again I
slept, this time a heavy, unrefresh-
ing sleep that lasted until morning.—
At the breakfast table 1 told my
dream. Good-humored ridicule
from my friends had a beneficial ef
fect on me, and after two days I was
almost pursimded Hint I was attach
ing too much importance to a dream,
“Tlic day for my departure came,
I entered Hie car in the Terre Haute
station. I seated myself and looked
about me. In an opposite seat sat a
white-haired-man. I recognized him
at once «s Hie man I had seen in my
dream. lie had a fish basket ou his
knees. The fares of the passengers
were fnmiliar to me. At the dinner
station I met the lady I had seen in
my dream, and we had dinner to
gether. Arriving at Altoona, I stood
watching tlie eastern train come into
tlic depot. I was sure m.v brother’
body would be put off the train. As
I stood watching the passengers bur
ry into the dining-room, the express
man I had seen in iny dream said to
me: “Please give way madam.” I
turned to lo.ok at taint, and on the
truck lay a large box that was ad
dressed "to my father. I took the
ilollidaysburg train, and on arriv
ing home was met by my father, who
said : ‘Dan is dead. lie died at sea
five days ago front heart disease.’—
In answer to inv question ns to tlic
time of day lie died, I was informed
that it was 9 p. in. The difference
in time of tlic East and West showed
me that Dan had been dead some
four hours before I saw him. Si
lently I stood in Hie house beside the
box when it was opened. The lid of
the coffin was removed, and there lay
Dan, dressed exactly as I luul seoii
him in my dream.”
“I have no explanation to make of
the dream. I simply tell you the fact
of my having seen an apparition of
events Hint were to occur, an appa
rition .of innniinatc objects, of dozens
of strangers, and of my dead broth
er's body.”
Knowing the truthfulness of Hie
lady, I believe her strange story.
