jurisdiction of this court, whioh
he refused to answer, and was committed

A VAIN ATTEMPT TO PERFORM TUI8 MIRACLE
IN IOWA.
A horrible story is related by the Ida
County {la.) Pioneer of uu affair which
occurud at tho appropriately named vil
lage of Hell’s Bend,in that couuty. About
tho middle of November, one Mr. Hey -
cock was takou down with typhoid fever,
aud Dr. Rico,of Southland, wan summoned
to render medical aid. The patient was
getting along us well as could be expected
under tho circumstances — the patient
being quite low boluro medical aid was
received. One day a Spiritualist,residing
in that vicinity, by the name of Frank
Biglow, called at the house of Mr. Hoy-
cock, wou the confidence of the family,
aud boldly asserted that he could perfect
a rapid cure upon Mr. Hey cock through
tho medium of SpiiituuliHin, providing
they would let him have his owu way.
After a short t:mo ol consideration, Mrs.
Heyoock informed Biglow that they wore
at his mercy. Biglow threw out all the
nn diciuo prepared by Dr. Rice, and sent
tho D-ctor word not to uiakfGinoiher vis
it. From this time uo medicine whs nd-
ministered save Biglow’s spiritual aid. He
commenced talking and groaning to the
patient, nibbing his brow, pulling his
board, etc. Mr. Heyoock finally sunk into a
kind of stupor, and soemiugly suffered
less pain, whioh led the wife and Biglow
to the belief that ho was recovering. Vis
itors were finally forbid coming. In the
course of a day or two a few of tho citi
zens again went to tho house and asked
admission, which was granted. There iu
bod, lay tho dead body of Mr. Hoycock,
tho eye sockets already turning black. One
of tho visitors exoluimod: “Ho is dead.”
Biglow said: “ile is not dead, but sloop-
oth,” at tho sume time ondeavoring to
blow out the light. Tho neighbors then
lggesled that tho body bo laid out for
burial. Biglow objected, and said: “If
my brother bo dond I can ruiso him to
life again,” and rising upon his foot,
stretching out his anus ovor tho corpso
aud lifting his oyes towards heaven,
shouted at the top of his voice, “Come
forth, my dear hrothci! Grave! give back
tho dead!” Ho then kneeled over tho
dead body, saying, “Open thy eyes, my
dear brother,” at the same time pushing
tho eye-lids open with his thumb (think
ing no one saw' him), and, with a feeling
lisfuction, ho turned to tho bysland-
nnd yelled, “Praise the
Lord.” But to his surprise, the
brother” did not rise worth a cent.
The citizens again wanted possession of
tho body for intermont, but tho spiritual
doctor stubbornly refused, saying, “I eau
raise tby brother at tho end of tho third
iay.” Heavy blankets wero then piled
upon the corpso by Biglow to retain the
animal heat. The doors were locked and
no lights used during three days, but what
else transpired is not known. At tho cud
of the third day Mrs. Heyoock scut word
to a few neighbors to come aud bury tho
body. 'Ihey came, and among thorn wero
the most stout aud hearty men of the
neighborhood, but they became faint and
sickened upon entering the room on ac
count of the unouduriible stonch resulting
the decomposition of tho body.
They wero compelled to bring ice from
tho river, which they placed around tho
corpse to freeze it, before they oould ar
range it iu tho coffin. Mr. Hoycock was
about forty-live years of ago, and was re
cently from Wisconsin. He was by faith
Adventist, and was highly respected by
All his acquaintances. The whole neigh
borhood ts tilled with great indignation

As au instunoe of tho cool manner in
which lie played his game, I aiu told that
some weeks ago he offered $93,009 worth
of securities to a Toronto broker, and
asked for an advanco of $30,000 thereon.
The broker, naturally ouough, u.ikod him
how he came by the secun-
ritios. “Ob," said Barber, I be
long to a syndicate iu Montreal ; in fact,
1 am their Toronto agent. Without
more adj tho broker advanced him tho
sum required. A few’ days afterward the
sumo broker was short of cash, and he
took tho securities he had obtained from
Barber to the Bunk of Montreal, and de
posited them as collateral und ohtuiuod
$80,000 on them. And next day Barber
stole thorn again, deposited them with
another broiler, and obtained another ad
vance on them. It was a case of this
doublo l-ack-action thieving that finally
floored him lost Saturday. Jlo had ab
stracted some securities belonging to the
township of Loudon, county Middlesex,
aud obtained an advanco on them from
a Montreal broker. Tho broker in turn
put them into the Bank of Montreal office
in Montreal, und they were forwarded to
the office hero for identification. Then
Barber abstracted them again and
swapped them hero, 'llio broker who got
hold of them hero had occasion to send
them to broker No. 1 in Montreal, and
fulling to be ab!o to account for their sud
den reappearance, biokor No. I consulted
tho bank people in Mohtroal. They in
turn asked Toronto, and Barbor was fair
ly trapped.
Barber was essentially a “fast" youth.

While the miseries of the poor are at
trading tho attention of the benevolent
there is danger that the worst sufferers
will bo overlooked. There is everywhere
a class of unfortunates who never ask re
lief, never complain, always keep their
affairs to themselves, wear brave faces,
aud yet undergo almost incredible hard
ships. The higher orders of artisans and
mechanics, the clerks and professional
men, aud the penniless meu aud women
of high character and attainments are in
many instances enduring all the pri
vations which are making life unen
durable to the lowest, and are suffer
ing mental agonies which are
simply beyond description. The strang
est, most terrible faot iu connection with
them ;h that, though their condition is
generally known to their well-to-do
l fiends, there is not only no effort made
to relievo them, but they are regarded
with that strange mingling of admiration
and indifference whioh makes the specta
tors of Roman gladiatorial shows so in
comprehensible to the modern mind.
There is scarcely a family in comfortable
circumstunces that cannot recall such ac
quaintances who are practically an friend
less as if they were in tho centre of Africa.
Iu addition to the sacred plea of charity
these people have a special claim upon
their more fortunate neighbors, for of gen
eral society they constitute an element
which can never bo too prominent; they
furnish a largo amount of the intelligent
effort and example without which society
aud civilization cannot exist. In every
active department of life man’s bravery
aud woman’s endurance merit and re
ceive the hearty recognition of all man
kind; certainly in the greatest of all
struggles the sympathy of their fellow
boiugs should not fail them. How to al-
leviute their torments is a question whioh
any honest person can answer for him
self after a few moments of thought, and
the auswer is imperatively needed in hun
dreds of thousands of cases and in every
city and town.—N. Y. Herald.
Breaking Ilia Vow.
Now Year's morning an esteemed citi-
zeu of Detroit took a solemn vow that he
would not utter an oath during the year
. Uo has been practicing on outns
for tho pust forty years, aud was right iu
feeling that ho was entitled to considera
ble credit for his new departure. Ho
held out bravely uutil yesterduy, when he
traded horses, bitched the new horse to
his cut tor, and started up (Jroghnn street
to give his uiece a ride. The horse baulk
ed on Randolph street, when crossing the
car track, aud no amount of whipping or
coaxing could move him a foot. Four or
five men had to help him out of tho
way of the car, and then he was
more determined than before. For a
good half hour the owner kept his temper
und a winning smile, but at length he
grew serious, lie coaxed and thrashed
in turns, aud finally got into the cutter,
leaued ovor tho dash board and pricked
the horse with bis ponknife. That started
him. The animal made four or five jumps
and a turn, upset the outter and galloped
away like mad. The old citizen was drag
ged two hundred feet under the outter,
aud when picked up there was a bushel
of snow down bis baok and in bis hair
and ears. Just as soon as he could get
breath he exclaimed:
“Oh ! ! 1 ! If I ! you
1 ! 1 I hope 1 My ! Of
! That ! Oh ! (He stood up
and went on): I ! Catch the !
Homebody ! I’ll ! ”
“What’s the matter !” asked the officer
who helped him.
“I’m so happy that I can hardly speak!”
replied the old man. “If it hadn’t been
for that horse I’d have gone through tho
whole year without swearing. I broke
my word before I thought, and now as
New Year’s has gone by let me say !
Oh ! That miserable ! I just want
to ! And let me 1 The mulish old

And he looked happy as he walked
away.—Eree Press.
A Tiger Loone—lie Attacks a€ltl«eu.
At 10:45 thin morning a Mexican tiger,
belonging to Alexander Hunter, of Myrtle
avenue, broke the wire net work of his
cage and sprang to the floor. An owl had
just been added to Mr. Hunter's menage
rie, and the tiger, not liking the owl’s ap-
poaruuce, made up his mind to move. It
made a Hpring and fastened its claws on
the owl’s cage. Not being uble to obtain
au entrance tho animal fell, and before
the employees could take action dashed
along tho left hand side corridor, thou
rushed down stairs to the shuffle-board
room, and selecting a stout gentleman as
a victim sprang upon his shoulder.
The gentleman thought that a huge cat
hud selected him for food, but discovered
his mistake when long, sharp claws pene
trated his llesh, covering tho bloody cuti-
clo with strips of a fifty dollar overcoat.
Kxcitemout prevailed, and. finally tho
brute was captured by “Fred,” one of tho
assistants, lie threw a piece of sacking
over it, and after some difficulty returned
it to tho cage. The iujured gentleman,
Mr. Baird, was taken in a coach to his
hotel in New York. Ho is on a visit to
this country, atul has extensive bleach
grooms near Manchester. Dr. Minor who
attended him, says that the wound will
not prove Horious.—Brooklyn Argus,
