i DAILY ENQUIRER - SUN : COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING JULY 28, A MOUNTAIN POSTMISTRESS. Nhr AlnujH Kfitrt* tile I'nMaR anil NoiMotlnii- llll< Letters. Arkansnw Traveler. A gentleman who spent u summer trav eling in the Rocky mountains drives the following aooount o( a little gray-haired old lady he found living alone in a log cabin of two rooms far up Hie slope of the most desolate mountain. The cabin was a mile from any other houso, and the town was ten miles distant. On the shelves back of the little pine counter ii the corner of ..he room were cops of tomatoes, peas and corn, a few bars of Boap, boxes of matches and cans of con densed milk. ‘ “I keep a little grocery store, and thread and needles, and pins, and such things boiu’s I’m postmistress,” said the old lady in the eiieeriest of voices. “ Postmistress ?” queried the traveler. “ O, yes,” was the reply. “ Where are the letters and the office ?” “ Here,” as she smilingly took a cigar box down from a shell and opening it showed the man a dozen or more letters bearing evidence of having been handled many times. “ The mail comes two times a week, Wednesdays and Saturdays, but most of the boys come ’round Saturdays.” “ The boys ?” asked the stranger. "Yes: the prospectors and miners scat tered all ’round over the hills. There’s a good many of ’em, but they don’t write much nor get many letters. Still, the post office is comp’ny for me. It brings all the boys to see me once in a while. Are you going up by the Lone Star mine?” "No, I tnink not,” said the traveler. “No? Well, if you was, there’s a postal hore for Jack Downing. It says on it that he is to come to Denver right off, and I’d liko to send it to him soon ns I can. I al ways read the postals. The boys don’t care, and I get real lonesome sometimes." just then a miner came along and ask ed : "Is Bill Hefller’s Weekly Republican come yet from Denver?” “Yes,” was the reply; “but you tell Bill I’ll send it up to-morrow by the stage driver; I ain’t done rcadin’ it myself yet. Bill won’t care; he npver reads it until Sunday, nohow. If you see Silas Sharpe you toll him that there’s a postal here from his wife, and the baby’s got the whoopin’ cougn, but it ain’t, a whoopin' yet, and his wife don’t think it’ll have it hard.” "Any letters for any of the boys up our way ?” "No; but there’s one here for somebody named J. B. Ryder. Know any such man ?” “No.” “Neither do I. “It's in a thin envelope, and 1 can see, by holding it, up to the light, that, it’s signed ‘Your own Surah,’ so I guess he’s married, or about to be. If he don’t come ’round soon, I dono but I’ll open it amt get the address and send it back to‘hisown Sarah,’ and teli her he ain’t here.” When t he man Imd gone, the old lady said to the traveler: “Yes, the post-office is a sight of com p’ny, ’gpeshly when there's lots o’Papers and postals coinin’ and goin’. Tin a some times I write and read letters for some that can’t, write. Now, here’s a letter for John Brico just come in. Ho ought to have it right off.” "But it has been opened,” said the trav eler. "O, la, yes! 1 opened it myself. I wrote the letter it’s in a swe.r to, and I’ll have to road this to John Brice, anyhow, lie can’t read writ in’. And 1 felt real anxious to know if Ills letter got to his wife; it had a ton-dollnr bill in it. Hero comes Bob Haight. Poor fellow! I declare, if I was alone I’d shut up the post office and hide some place; for it just makes my heart ache to toll that, poor creetur that there ain’t no letter yit for ’ini. He’s been a coinin’ for weeks lookin’ for a letter from home, and none comes. I’m afraid there’s trouble there. Well, well, I’ll just have to toll him there ain’t no letter and then chirk him up the best 1 can. Poor feller!” THEOSOPHY EXPLAINED.

It lias one great drawback, how ever, which may retard its popularity. It is apt to prove fatal. Imagine a French due* fought with electric swords. Some one would be sure to meet with disaster, and French politeness would be greatly ouU t aged. On the whole it seems probable that the Shanghai weapon will not be re ceived with favor in Europe. The great armed nations of the continent would feel reluctant to place lightning-rods on their troops, and unless some such precaution were taken the electric sword would be in vincible. TERRORIZING A TOWN. x Desperado Deflnnflr Parades the Streets After Deliberately K'.IlitiK u Man. Bradford, Pa., July' 26.—“I’ll kill the llrst man that lays a linger on me!” was the oft repeated assertion of John Thomp son as lie paced the streets of Mount Jewell, a small place In the southern part of this county, to-day. Thompson had just killed John Yohe, a bartender in the Brewer House. With Ills smoking revolver ill his hand he forced his way through the terror-stricken men In the barroom after shooting Yohe in the side. There was no officer in the little town, and no man lmd pluck enough to molest the desperado. He put fresh cartridges in his pistol and defi antly paraded through the town for an hour. Citizens telegraphed to the sheriff and canvassed for a leader for a lynching party but no one volunteered. Finally Thomp son went to ids employer nnd agreed to surrender upon a promise that he would not bo lynched. lie was quietly taken to jail and then the citiz-ens became very bloodthirsty. Thompson is a man of violent temper. The killing wns cold-blooded and without provocation. Yohe lived only twenty min utes and never spoke after the fatal shot. Thompson wus creating a disturbance in the bar room and Yohe tried to eject him.

GALLATIN, Mo., July 24.—Joseph Jump was hanged here to-day in the presence of 20,000 people tor the murder of William C. Gladson, a bridge builder on the Rock Island railway. Jump and John Smith were wood-choppers, and killed Gladson for his money, ifftS, and threw his body Into a well. Both wt-re convicted and sentenced to be hanged to-day, and each made a full writ ten confession, from which it appears that Jump was the instigator of the foul deed, and struck the fatal blow with a sickle bar. Gov. Marmaduke thereupon respited Smith until August 6th. Jump ascended the scaffold smiling, and in a brief speech said Smith was as guilty as he. lie then sang “Washed in the Blood of the Lamb” and "Is My Name Written There.” The trap was sprung at 2:45, and lie was cut down in twenty-four minutes. His neok was not broken and death was very agonizing. i.uimI Unindma Duriihigmiodle. An old lady, being lateatehurch,entered as the congregation was rising from prayer. “La!” said she, curtsying, "don’t get up on my account.”—Boston Traveller. Bostou Record. Taking the broad fact of mind and mat ter having been adjudged separate intitles or stales or being, the thoosophistsproceed to build upon the stated fact. They claim that while the body lies sleeping, or inert through trance, the soul, by which they mean t.lio mind or will, is capable of trav eling to distant places, noting events, hold ing converse, ere she, tlte soul, returns to her waiting and unconscious body. A theosophist speaks of his “astral body,” of its power to visit those places which his soul or mind or will lias previously deter mined upon going. To mention the conditions llrst, t-heoso- phists state that an “aura” surrrotmds them, not only thcosophists in particular, but all people. “Aura' is a species of at mosphere impregnated with the electrical essences, animal magnetism or chetnicrl gases that our bodies are constantly dis charging; this, encountering the ordinary air, is not dispelled or disseminated, us might be naturally expected; hut to call it human esbeneo for the sake of illustration, this discharged human essence gathers to itself a certain portion of I lie ordinary air that surrounds us,which it permeates with our own desires and vitality; therefore it will be seen that this aura is always jvith us, and ready for all emergencies. The way that transference is effected is that u theosophist wishing to appear in a distant city or foreign land, seeks seclu sion, and then bends the whole force ol' i his mind upon the desire to reach that | place. Finally, he either falls asleep or succumbs to a self-induced trance. During the sleep or trance the body lends a por tion of its vitality, or more correctly, a certain portion having been ejected by’the will, the soul is enabled to clothe herself in the waiting aura, and thus become an astral body, an exact counterpart of the sleeping one, and then proceed upon her icriai journey. Tin' Kleetrle Knuril. New York World. One of the most interesting features of modern progress is the influence on modes of warfare exercised by scientiilc discov eries. The bicycle lias been utilized in Germany for mounting troops, and now wo hear of an electric sword. It will be seen at once that the hitter is an essentially shocking weapon. Strangely enough it was invented in Shanghai. The warrior using such a sword has a battery—that is, of course, an electric battery—concealed at his waist. Insulated wires run from the battery to the sword. When the point of the weapon touches an adversary the lat ter is paralyzed. The wielderof the sword can lie said to have made an electric charge.
