MISS LULA HURST.
The Wonder-Working Girl.
Miss Lula Hurst lias come anti
gone, and our people are as much
mystified as to the hidden, active
force that the tips ofher fingers im
parts to inanimate objects, as if
they had never witnessed the man
ifestation of such wonder working
power.
Her public exhibition at Nich
ols’ Hall, last Monday night, in
this place, deeply interested the
large audience present. On the
stage, she was accompanied by her
father and mother. Miss Lula has
dark hair, sparkling, black eyes
fair complexion, and a well devel
oped form for one in her sixteenth
y^ar. She seems to be of the vital,
nervous temperament, and has a
thoughtful, pleasant face.
The first demonstration of her
singular power on this occasion
was with a cane seat chair. She
simply placed the palm of her
hands on the chair, when it became
restless and flew into mid air.—
Messrs. W. A. McCrea, Jas. D. But-
tolph and Henry Reynolds, three
stout, able-bodied men, tried to
hold the chair to the floor, and in a
few minutes the chair began to
crack, and come apart. Another
chair was brought into requisition,
and Mr. McCrea attempted to hold
it fast by pressing Iris breast on the
bottom of the chair and gripping
it firmly, but despite his efforts the
chair dragged him fiounderingly
across the stage. Others tried it
with no better success. Dr. \V. K.
Root seated in a chair was soon
spilled out on the floor. Mr. \V. P
Stephens, weighing 240 pounds and
of great strength, seated himself in
the chair and held it in position for
a while, but soon the chair began to
move, splitting one ofdlie chair legs
and separating the chair-back, and
finally turned him over. Mr. Ste
phens attempted to hold the chair
in front of him with liis hands, but
the wonderous touch of Miss Lu
la’s hands turned and twisted the
chair over about Mr. Stephens,
head with undiminislied pre.si.sten-
ey. Mr. Ben R. Legg, weighing
ISO pounds, clinched the chair with
a desperate determination to come
off the victor, and nowithstanding
he exhibited a great deal of endu
rance and tenacity, yet the chair
moved under his bodily weight and
cut up its usual wild antics; in the
meantime Mr. Legg was putting,
perspiring, and his face was red as
a beet; yet during all this time Miss
Lula was serene and smiling, her
face but little flushed aud she was
not the least fatigued.
One of the best evidences of this
“odd force,” possessed by Miss Lu
la, was an attempt by Mr. Legg to
push the chair to the floor while
holding it about three feet from
the floor. Miss Lula simply placed
her hands 011 the seat of the chair,
yet the chair refused to go down
but maintained its upward ten
dency until Mr. Jas. Buttolph com
bined his strength with that of Mr.
Legg’s and pressed it to the floor.
A stick one end hold firmly against
the body of the young lady,
promptly obeyed the unmanagea
ble force that impelled it upward,
and it took three men to press it
back to its position on the floor.—
An umbrella, held suspended in the
air by four cords, held by four men
under her vivacious touch, twisted,
writhed and came to pieces.
That her performance was a suc
cess, was not disputed by any one.
That the .force was not mus
cular was quite evident, as there
was no exertion or exhaustion on
her part, while the several strong
men grasped and tugged at the ob
jects she touched, were physically
outdone, and under such circum
stances to attribute it to muscular
power, would make the effortless
display of a timid girl inexplicable
and greater than the^ combined
stieugtji of tlu'ee iiuhi, eitjierone of
whom eoiVUV' t'Vorpower 1 ller 1: in a
personal encounter. That It is not
electricity, is not rationally proba
ble, because this power of her’s is
transmitted only to inanimate ob
jects, thus destroying both the mus
cular and electrical theories; be
sides this she can take two glasj
gnh|ets >oul pique one. 5 liq each
chair posf ilinV h,Y grasping the gob,
lets make the chair rave as vio
lently as ever, and glass is well
known to be a nonconductor of elec
tricity. More, if it was electricity
it wouid shock the animate objects
she comes in contact with on the
stage us wu|j n* tiie
the the boiitraT’.v, she that this
marvellous force comes to her aid
only when she touches inanimate
objects and concentrates her mind
oil the thing she desires ac
complished. If it be disembodied
spirits infusing their untamed
strength through her as a medium,
then Samson must be the invisible
giant that is hurling objects and
men about, as it was with him in the i
flesh, when his fettered limbs snap-!
ped withes and ropes, at the excla- \
mation: “Samson, the Philistines
be upon thee!” And if it be spirits
of departed humanity, then spirits
have but little to do to come back
to this world and travel from town
to town and carry out a certain pro
gramme to gratify public curiosi
ty.
The young lady is certainly
charged with some magnetic and
electric powers, but as to the pre
dominant force that repels so vio
lently we have no knowledge and
cannot conceive of an explanation
that cannot be assaulted and over
thrown.
As to what this undefined pow
er is, the question naturally recurs,
“What is it? Certainly, “there is
more in heaven and eartli than is
dreampt of in our philosophy.”
Judge H. D. 1). Twiggs was one of
the counsel in the celebrated
McBean murder case in which a
verdict of not guilty was rendered,
at Waynesboro, Saturday, as stated
at length in the telegraphic col
umns of Sunday’s News. During
his argument an unusual incident
occurred. One of the defendant’s
witnesses—a lady—swore that she
was not much frightened during
the firing upon Tom Syms. Judge
Twiggs gave an illustration of this
idea of woman’s bravery narrating
that at the battle of Gettysburg,
Gen. Pickens, who had just made a
gallant change upon the enemy,
was applied when he saw almost
at his side his young wife, to whom
he had been married only a few
months. The shot and shell were
flying everywhere, ami he exclaim
ed : “My God! my dear, go to the
rear, and get oil of this danger!”
Her reply was, “A woman,s place
is by her husband’s side.” The aud
ience applauded, and one gentle
man, well known for his gallant
service as a soldier, gave a most
unearthly yell in approbation of
the Judeg’s eloquent words. His
Honor, Judge Rooney, called him
forward and fined him $10 for con
tempt of court. The next morning,
however, it being made
known to the Judge that
no contempt was intended
and that the gentleman’s heart was
filled with the remembrance of the
“lost cause,” His Honor revoked
the fine.
A merchant, after satisfying him
self that a certain customer did not
intend to pay his bill, sent him a re
ceipt for the full amount. By return
mail he received the foiling note:
‘‘Uster have my doubts about you
bein’ a gentleman, but I am satis
fied on that point. There is a great
difference in men. One time I ow
ed a fellow a bill, and after dunnin’
me nearly to death he sent me a
receipt for half the amount, and
blamed if he didn’t finally make
me pay the other falf. Jlut you
have done the square thing by me
an’ I am much obleeged to you.”
“Doctor,” said a lady, “I want
you to prescribe for me.” “There’s
nothing the matter madam,” said
the doctor, after feeling her pulse;
“you only need rest.”Now doctor,
just look at my tongue,” she persis
ted. “Just look at it!—look at it!—
Now say, what does that need?”
“I think that needs rest too,” repli
ed the doctor.
“Give me,” said the schoolmaster,
“a sentence in which the words ‘a
burning shame’are properly appli
ed.” Immediately the brigt boy at
the head of the class went to the
blackboard and wrote: “Satan’s
treatment of the wicked in a. burn
ing shame.”
“Etiqtette now admits of a second
plate of soup.” This is all right, but
if a ninn’s appetite will not fidmit
of.a second fifnto’ of soup, etiquette
is worth' nothing to him.
A (’liicago editor asks: “Why do

Romantic Stories of the Legal Profession.
FORTUNE FOUND IN A JAMPOT.
How a Clerk Gained a Reward and a
Wife at the Same Time.
It often happens that the issue of
great suits of law, particular in
England, depends upon a single
document which it is very dflicult
to produce. That was the weak
point in the case whicli Messrs.
Sharpe & Floyd were managing
for Mr. Mopeth. A certain deed
was almost absolutely essential
to success, and it was not to be
found for love or money. An ad
vertisement had been inserted in
all the leading papers for months,
offering a reward of £300 for the
valuble parchment, but not a word
had come in response. The law
yers felt confident that it could not
be in existence; an offer of £300
must have brought it to light, they
argued if anybody had it in possess
ion. But Morpeth insisted upon
believing that it could be found.
So he instructed Messrs. Sharpe
A* Floyd to increase the sum to
£500 and go on advertising; and
accordingly Tom Halliday, a elerk
in the office, was dispatched to the
advertising agency with orders to
contract for the necesary space in
all the dailies for a fortnight.
Tom had a sweetheart, naturally
enough, and they were going to be
married as soon as they could con
trive to buy furniture for a couple
of rooms. It was his habit of a
Saturday to take a stroll with her,
and accompany her home to tea;
and as it was on a Saturday that
he made his trip to the advertising
agency, of course lie told her all
about it and they amused theni-
selvs by discussing what they
would do with the reward, suppos
ing they should chance to find the
missing deed. They were talking
in this ridiculous strain when they
readied the girl’s home. The ta
ble was spread, and among the
daintiest of the occasion was a pot
of home-made raspberry jam,
brought out especially in honor of
his visit, so Tom was informed.
He had hardly taken the first
mouthful, however, When he turned
suddenly pale, his lower jaw drop
ped, and he sat gazing fixedly at
the jam-pot like one spellbound.
The girl fancied he must be ill; the
mother wondered if he had come
upon a black beetle. “It’s nothing,
Tom managed to gasp after a time;
“Islialbeall right directly. It’s—
it’s—the £500.”
When he had recovered from his
bewilderment lie began to com
pare the names of tiie parties to
the missing deed, as mentioned in
the advertisement, with the piece
of parchment which had covered
the jam-pot, and that lay
upside down upon the table
before him. There they
were, the very same. He had cer
tainly found the missing deed, or at
least a fragment.of it, “And now,
if we can trace the rest,” lie ex
claimed, “our fortune’s made.”—
The mother threw open her cup
board, and there were two dozen
jam-pots, lacking one with a piece,
of Hie parchment tied over it for a
cover. It was an anixous moment.
The pots were quickly uncovered,
the circular bits fitted together,
and at last the tiling took definite
and symmetrical shape, and not a
line was wanting. A few of the
“and whereases” and “provided nl-
sos” were a trifle sticky, but not
the smallest part had been destroy
ed.
Tom did not stop to finish his din
ner. He put the precious jam-pot
cover itdo hi* pocket and ran at
the top of his speed to Messrs.
Sharpe A Floyd. They agreed
with him at once that he had secur
ed the long-lost deed; and then they
recalled the fact that they had once
had offices in tlie quart^ \\l\e,re
the mother of.Tom's sVyeeUieart liv
ed, ami that on'coming away they
had swept a good many useless pa
pers into a corner and left them
tiiere, and this deed mtfst somehow
have been among them, though
they had never been able byfqre
to surmise hp\v it qaye. sjipr
ped from tjieir custody. They has
tened to Mr- Morpeth with the good
news, and he drew a check on the
spot for £500, payable to Tom’s or
der, and Mr. Morpeth won his suit,
and Tom married the girl of his
heart as soon as the wedding gown
could be made—all because a nice
fingered old la<|y V-VA-VV- V.ut

Blaine’s Programme.
Whether Biaine will be a Presi
dential candidate or not is the oc
casion of a good deal of gossip.—
There is an impression that he does
not intend to be a candidate, but he
proposes to dictate the nomination.
His ambition, it is said, is to be the
boss of the next administration,
provided, of course, that it is Re
publican. He wants to be the pow
er behind the throne, as he was in
the Garfield administration. If
this is the programme he may come
nearer carrying it out than if he
should attempt to secure the nomi
nation himself. Had Garfield lived
it is probable that Blaine would
have been recognized as the con
trolling spirit of the administration.
Garfield was intellectually Blaine’s
equal, if not his superior, but he
laeked Blaine’s courage. If Blaine
is able to name the candidate of his
party, and his party is successful, he
will shape the administration,
doubtless, and will exercise almost
as much power as if he were Presi-
Jent. The prospect that he will be
able t to dictate the convention’s
choice is good. He has a large fol
lowing in every State, and it is
pretty certain that a strong ma
jority of the delegates will he his
friends. It is asserted that he is
quietly working to have as many of
his friends in the convention as pos
sible. The position of boss of the
administration is almost as attrac
tive as the position of President.—
To a man like Blaine, wlntfikes to
exercise power it must be very in
viting. If he pursues the plan out
lined and succeeds he will enjoy
the credit of directing the adminis
tration without having to bear its
burdens and responsibilities.
Who are Vagrants.
The following law is upon our
statute books, and, in view of the
loud complaints which we hear . on
every side against the growing ev
il of vagrancy, the enforcement of
this law letemfs imperative:
“All persons wandering or stroll
ing about in idleness, who are able
to work and have no property to
support them; all persons leading
an idle, immoral or profligate life,
who have no property to support
them, aiuljwho are able to work and
who do not work; all persons able
to work and having no property to
support them, and who have not
some visible and known means of
a fair honest and reputable liveli
hood; all persons having a fixed
abode, who have no visible proper
ty to support them, and who live by
stealing, or trading in' bartering
for, or buying stolen property, and
all professional gamblers living in
idleness, shall be deemed and con
sidered vagrants.”
The Cumming Clarion says: “A
subscriber at Canton, Texas, writes
us that there is a widower in
that town who has nineteen chil
dren and is anxious to wed the
Alabama widow with twenty-one
children, mention of which was
made in a recent issue of this pa
per. The Alabama widow can
take notice and govern herself ac
cordingly.”
“My son,” asked a school-teacher,
“what do you know of the proverb
regarding people who reside in
glass houses ?” “I dont know noth
in’,” was the response, “about the
proverb, but 1 knew that people
who live in glass houses ortent to
lay abed in the mornin’ unless they
pulldown the blinds.”
It is when our budding hopes are
nipped beyond recovery by some
rough wind that we are the most
disposed to picture to ourselves
what flowers they might have born
if they had flourished.

A Decided Answer.
One more story in connection
with Miss Sal lie \V 1 must re
late. I will preface by remarking
that rouging thirty years ago was
much more uncommon than it has
since become, and that there were
straight-laced people who consider
ed it a heinous offense. On this
account it was that bets ran high at
Saratoga one summer among Miss
\Y ’s friends, that the lovely
blush which mantled her cheek
was of nature’s own bestowing. To
end the controversy, which was
becoming exciting, one gallant gen
tleman, less timid than the rest,
proposed to ask the beauty of a
proof that would settle the dispute.
Rash man! In an unfortunate
moment, and perhaps trembling
at his own temerity, he said:
“Miss W—, do you paint?” and
how much more freely he must
have breathed when, instead of
the box on the ear he expected
to receive, the siren said sweetly:
“Bring me a glass of water and
you shall see?” The water was
brought and she handed a spotless
cambric hankercliief. “Now dip
that in the water and rub it on her,
she proceeded’ prsenting him a
peachy cheek so temptingly near
that his heart stood still as he
gently and deprecatingly chafed
it.
“Now look at the handkerchief.”
she said, somewhat sternly. It was
as spotless as before. “Are you
satisfied?” she demanded more
sternly yet. “Yes.” quavered he,
“I am satisfied.” “And so am I!”
said the insulted beauty, as she
dashed the water in his face.
A writer familiar with the use of
celery, says that he lias known sev
eral men and women who, from va
rious causes, had become so affect
ed by nervousness that whenever
they stretch out their hands, they
shook like aspen leaves on windy
days; and by a moderate daily use
of the blanched footstalks of celery
as a salad they became as strong
and steady in limb as other people.
He has known people cured of pal
pitation of the heart by the use of
celery. Everybody engaged in
labor weakening to the nerves
should use celery daily in its sea
son, and onions in its stead when
not in season.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama
had a hard struggle when he began
the practice of law. His shingle
hung unnoticed for many months.
Becoming desperate one day, he
packed up his few books and started
for the depot, determined to aban
don his profession and go to Texas.
He had reached the foot of the
stairs which led to his office
when he was accosted by an elder
ly man who inquired where John
Morgan’s law office was. “Right
here, sir; my name is Morgan.”
“Going out?” “I am about to start
for Texas on pressing business.”
“Indeed! Then can you direct me
to a good lawyer? I’ve a little case
to dispose of.” “I decided,” said Air.
Morgan afterward, in telling the
story to a friend, “that my Texas
trip was not so pressing after all.
I took the old gentleman into my
office and heard his case. I won it,
and since that day fortune has fa
vored me.”
