All I liKilllant Jokr. She came from Detroit, Michigan, and her great pride was being an In valid. She lost no opportunity in stating that she came to Minnesota to recniterate. She did not hesitate to enter into conversation with any person she came In contact with, giv ing advice, climatological or physio logical, to invalids, ami seeking the same from those of robust constitu tion. Her conversation was always prefaced with the Introductory in quiry, so common to visitors, "Did you come here for your health'/” She thus addressed a stalwart, ruddy-vis aged young man at the dinner taide of the Metropolitan a few days since, and tho following dialogue ensued : “Yes, madam, 1 came hero proba bly the weakest person you ever saw. 1 had no use of my limbs ; in fact, my bones were but little tougher than cartilages. I had no intelligent con trol of a single muscle, nor the use of a single faculty.’’ “Great heavens,” exclaimed the as tonished auditor. "and you lived’/" “I did. Miss, although 1 was devoid of sight, was absolutely toot hless, un able to articulate a single word,•and dependent on others for everything, being deprived of all power to help myself. I commenced to gain imme diately upon my arrival, and have scarcelv experienced n sick day since; hence t can conscientiously recom mend the climate.” “A wonderful ease,” said the lady, “but do you think your lungs were affected?” “They were probably sound, but possessed of so little vitality that but for tho most careful nursing they must have ceased their functions." ”1 hope you found kind friends, sir?” “Indeed I did, madam; it is to them and the pure ait of Minnesota that I owe my life. My father’s family were with me, but unfortunately my mother was prostrated by severe ill ness during t lie time of my greatest prostration.” “How sad! Pray, what was your diet and treatment?” "My diet wasthe simplest possible, consisting only of milk, that being the only food my system would bear. As for treatment, I depended entirely upon the life-giving properties of Miuuesotnnir, and took no medicines except an occasional narcotic when very restless. My improvement dated from my arrival. My limbs soon be came strong, my sight and voice came to me slowly, and a full set of teeth, regular and firm. appeared.” "Remarkable, m raeulous! Surely, sir, you must have been greatly re duced in llosli?" “Madam, I weighed but nine pounds. 1 was born in Minnesota. Good day.”—.St. Paul Pioneer Preen. A Gliu.tly Sensation K\|ilinli*il. All newspaper readers in this State, says tho Warrenton Clipper, cannot fall to remember the startling and unaccountable manifestations which occurred at Surreiicy, on the Macon .'c Brunswick Railroad, a year or two since, ami which was attributed to the agency of spirits. The house of Mr. Surrency was turned into a per fect pandemonium for tho time be ing. Crockerv from unseen sources would fall into the middle of rooms, brick-bats would crash down, and billets of woo 1 be hurled in at win dows, seemingly without any human agency. The wonderful occurrences, however, finally stopped, and after a while lived only in the remembrance of those who had witnessed and heard of them. Some time since similar manifesta tions began in the family of a very es timable lady, Mrs. Russell Johnson, of Bartow, on the line of the Central Railroad. The crockery, brick-bats, and other portable and small articles, rained about the house in the nest astonishiug manner, causing no little terror to the inmates. However, Mr. John A. McMillan, a son in-law of Mrs. Johnson, not being frightened entirely out of his wits, note I the similarity of the manifestations to those at Surrency, and finally remem bered that they had employed in tin family asa servant at the time, acnl ered girl who had also been ia the employ of Mr. Surrency at the time those strange freaks of the unseen agency took place in his house. Thinking that, the two must certainly have some connection with each oth er, a strict watch was kept upon t his girl, and she was finally detected in the act of taking a brick from a con cealed position about her person and hurling it into the middle of the room. Here then was the secret. She was immediately apprehended, and un der fear of lining dealt with by law, confessed that she was the author of the mischief. She was of course dis charged. What has been her motive in all these actions is, perhaps, lock ed in an impenetrable mystery, but it will be a relief to many to know the truth of these singular things which so puzzled the brains of tin good people of Surrency a year or two since. Tlir linlliui Cil|ifivr*. Tlmt is rather a Rood joke on the Indian (tuptived in Florida, the refu sal of their wives to join tliein. The lhy chiefs who are in liinbo for in (lnlyiny in the diversion or murder ing the whites made a piteous appeal for their duskey mates and littleones, and their army officer in charge in dorsed their request favorably. Gen. Sheridan, in forwarding t lie request, said the talk of the chiefs about their wives and children was “mere Indians twaddle, but, nevertheless, 1 1 ho General had just taken a wife be it remembered,/ he would recom mend that the request be granted, since they would never rest until they had them.” The requisite order for the removal of the wives and chil dren from the Indian territory to Florida was issued, but now Agent Haworth telegraphs that the Sioux and Comanche women are unwilling to go, and wants to know if he must forcibly remove them. Perhaps, de al wiring of their husbands’ release, they have made other domestic ar rangements. The question the gov ernment must now decide is shall tbev be forced to go in compliance with the request of Imsbanes No. 1 ? — Ejrcliangi'. Pine Knot Springs, Eighteen mile* from Columbus.
