the counties, and we hope each will
make a showing.
THE DAILY TIMES.
HEIt nou.
BY M. QUA]}.
I can’t imagine how she ever smug
gled thutdog into the sleeping our,
past the man who stands beside the
lower step and examines the tickets
and scrutinizes the passengers, but
it wus a solemn fact that he was
there. She was a grim, determined
woman, about forty years old, and
was dressed in black, and lie or it or
that was a big shambling, sheepish
looking dog, tliiti in flesh, and about
the color of a now saddle. She led
him by a piece of clothes-line, and
as she dropped into a seat, the dog
skulked beneath it, and glanced out
at us with his yellow eyes, plainly
showing a burden of guilt on his
mind.
“Poor Henry, is you afraid V” she
whispered, as she reached down and
caressed his nose.
“Henry”slunk still further under
the seat, turned around twice, and
then fell over as if ho had been shot.
Every passenger wore a knowing
look and a faint smile, certain in his
or her mind, that those was trouble
ahead.
When the train started and the
conductor came along, lie scented
that canine in a York minute, and lie
scowled fiercely as he dragged the
dead-head out to viow, and inquir
ed :
“Whose our is this ?”
“That’s my dog, ” replied the old
lady, bracing herself up for a strug
gle.
“He’ll have to go into a buggage
car, madam, and it will be fifty cents
extra.”
“Never,” she exclaimed, half-rising
from her feet. "I’m Inkin’that dog
to brother William, and lie’s goin’ to
ride in this keer!”
“Madam, it's against the rules, and
lie’s got to go. Fifty cents, if you
please."
“I’ll never pay it, Iswar I won't,”
she hotly replied, “and if you lay n
hand on Henry I’ll prosecute you to
the longest day I live. I’m Christo
pher Thompson’s wife, 1 am!”
“Can’t help if you are Christopher
Columbus’ wife, or first, cousin to
Queen Victoria; come along you
brute.”
She saw that, the odds were against
her, and she changed her tactics.
“Wall, here’s the money,” she said,
feeling in her pocket, “and you’ll
take good care of him.”
“Oh, yes; he’ll be tied up in the
baggage car and cared for. Come
along, now!”
When the dog had been dragged
out of the car, she leaned over and
whispered to me:
“All right! When I git ’round home
agin, this railroad will hear from me.
We’ve got a few dollars laid up in
bank, and we’ll use it to Arid out if
there’s any justice in America!”
We all got to bed after a while
after she had given everybody in the
ear the history of that dog; and 1
was just falling to sloop when she
•stuck her head out of her berth and
inquired:
“Con-due-ti-or! does Henry seem
to pine for me?”
“Oh, he’s getting along nicely,” was
the reply, and stie dropped back on
the pillow, with the muttered remark :
"Some folks can travel with seven
trunks and not pay extra, but these
railroad robbers charge me fifty cents
for bringing one dog along.”
Half an hour passed. 1 was dream
ing of a storm at sea, when the old
lady's voice opened my eyes. Her
head was out to viow, wound round
iu a night cap, and she was calling
for the conductor. He hurried up the
aisle, and she inquired :
“Has tiie train mn off the track V”
“No, madam. We arc running along
safely and smoothly.”
"Waal, T drempt ivo had run off the
track, and l hat poor Henry had his
collar-bone broke!” she exclaimed as
she fell back.
I dreamed again. I thought I was
climbing a rugged hiil, and was pur
sued by a ferocious-looking beast.
He was about to seize me, when I
awoke; the woman’s voice had arous
ed me again.
“Ooa-duc-ti-or! Con-due-ti-or!” she
was calling, and as soon as she caught
sight of him, she asked:
“Are we ail killed V”
“No, madam. We are all alive.”
“Waal, that’s queer,” she contin
ued. “I must have drempt it. I
thought, wo wore all smashed up, and
that poor Henry had seven rilts broke
and Ids leg cut off! Does he seem to
want to see ma
“The dog is all right, madam, and
you’d better go to sleep.”
I turned over, counted the tops of
the telegraph poles through the win
dow, dreamed that I was walking
through a green meadow, and lifting
my feet very high to avoid snakes. A
horrid serpent suddenly sprang up
and bit me in tiie leg, and I bumped
my head against the upper berth as I
suddenly sprang up. The old lady’s
head was at the curtains again, and
she was saying:
“Wall, con-duc-ti-or, you know
best, hut I’ve got on my mind that
poor Henry is grieving for me.”
“I wish your dog was drowned in
the sea!” growled a fat man from the
third berth down, but she was enouhh
for him, and talked “dogology” un
til I fell asleep. I was making up for
lost time, and had overhauled an
hour of lost sleep, when the locomo
tive uttered a dozen short, sharp
whistles Indicating some sort of ob
struction on the track.
“Here, here!” the old lady was
calling as I got up. “Where is the
con-duc-ti-or ?”
He was dozing - at the other end
of the car, and as lie came trotting
up, she continued:
“I was a dreaming that the bag
gage mi3ter had piled eighteen trunks
and a satchel on top of poor Hen
ry.”
“O thunder! give us a rest on that
dog!” growled the fat man, and she
went at him and used him up again.
She must have slept from midnight
to one o'clock, for she permitted the
rest of us to do likewise, but at that
hourshe called out, and then regular
ly twice an hour until daylight. As
soon as she could sec she wanted to
go forward and have a look at “Hen
ry,” and see if he wasjoyfull or sor
rowful, and when prevented from so
doing, she got her voice on a pitch,
which aroused every sleeper.
About eight o’clock the train
drew up at her stopping place, and
she entreated me to see that “Hen
ry” was passed out to her. I stood
beside her as he was dropped from
the baggage ear, and when f gently
informed her that the miserable apol
ogy for a dog ought to be asphyxiat
ed, she grasped my hand, and heart
ly replied:
“There, I knew the minute I sot
eyes on you that you had a tender
heart, and would like Henry.”

SPIRITUALISTS IN CAMP.
ghost business on the ssioues
OP LAKE PLEASANT.
Ambrosial Flowers with Dewy Petals
and Kotten stems.
WHAT THEY SEE ONLY WHEN THE DARK
NESS IS OE EGYPTIAN INTENSITY.
Spiritualists’ Camping Ground, ut
Lake Pleasant, Montague, Mass,,
Aug. 13. Twenty-four persons sat
around a table of rough eump-meet
ing plank, sixteen feet long, last
evening, in a wooden building built
in a day. In the middle of ono side
sat the medium of the seance, Mrs.
Tluiycr of Boston. Opposite her wasa
Mr. Williams, on her right hand Mrs.
Margaret Folsom of Boston, and on
her left “Aunt Mary,” as she is call
ed throughout the camp. She is Mrs.
Stearns, an elderly matron of aristo
cratic profile and boariug, but popu
larly social, who spends her winters
in Boston anil summers in the home
of her heritage on lior native Gape
Cod. She is a Cape Cod spiritualist,
whose zeal has not abated since the
first rap started the Rochester Foxes.
Some of last evening’s circle were
believers, and perhaps all wished to
believe. Some were mediums, and
mediums are by no means exempt
from professional jealousy. Aunt
Mary is not, in common parlance, a
medium, but the genial young Mis.
Folsom is. Admission to the seance
cost Si, and the list of engaged seats
was looked over, and as soon as all
were thebe tho doors were locked.
While the company were assembling,
several strangers were introduced to
Mrs. Thayer, and acquaintances also
approached to greet, her. She accept
ed tlieir salutations cordially, but
throw back her hands when they
proffered tlieirsf, not wishing to run
the risk of disturbing her magnetic
condition. The father of the Daven
port brothers was lamp attendant,
and all having been seated, he extin
guished the light. Tho circle sang:
SINGING.
Wo shall moot ou that beautiful shore,
By and by:
And our spirits will sorrow no more,
By and by.
All joined with a will, yet occasion
ally could bo felt a suppressed catch
ing of the breath suddenly, probably
of Mrs. Thayer, and a vibration of
the table as it. were, and a seeming
twitching as when a person is about
being seized by a disembodied spirit.
"Strike the light!” said Mrs. Thay
er. We luvd been in total darkness.
The object of these board buildings
is to secure a darkness that cannot
bo attained within a tent. The light
revealed a variety of blooming plants
aud fancy foreign grasses. There
wore the golden-banded lily of Japan,
another lily spotted, another long,
graceful, beautiful and ravishingly
fragrant lily; there was u spirally
growing striped grass around a green
stalk, rare and curious; there were
wonderful ferns of foreign lands;
there were roses and rose buds of
heavenly white; there was a plant
that came with roots and earth cling
ing thereto, tho sand failing iu Aunt
Mary’* eve; there was an elegant rich
passion-flower that fell before the
proud mother of the young medium,
William Fletcher; there was a wide
spreading hough of fancy grass;
there were lovely loaves, thick, leath
ery, and fanciful, from the richly
vegetating tropics; and all these blos
soms, leaves, grasses, and buds wore
almost dripping with dew. Not one
of tho long brittle petals of tiie finest
lily was broken, and tho spiral grass
stood out in its great circular shape,
and the delicate ferns, the roses and
the sweet smelling pinks of purest
white had not been crushed.
Scarcely was the kerosene ablaze,
before, with exclamations of delight,
each person grabbed tho flower that
had fallen before her outspread
hands; each member of the circle
touching the table with as much as
the ends of his fingers, but not neces
sarily touching each other. Not ono
of tne heavenly blossoms fell near
the represonative of The Sun ! A man
who called tho exotics by their Latin
names in a low voice asked The Sun
to shine on the fact that tho stems
without exception wore a little dried
where they had been broken off, but
he kindly added that perhaps the
spirits had to bring them from a
long distance. One tropical leaf had
begun to rot.
MESMERISM.
August U.—Lost ovoning there
were small circles of ghost seekers
in various tents, and there was danc
ing to the music of tho Fitchburg
band in a large aud pleasant pavilion,
but the most mirthful meeting was in
Drinklce’s restaurant, in which a
well-enough, but by no means extra
ordinary, man with reddish heard
and a Roman nose stood at the en
trance, his own doorkeeper aud cash
ier, for he was the amusement maker.
He stood at the door, taking in men,
women, and children at ten cents
each, until 8 v. M., when lie left the
curtain yawning, aud ascending tile
platform made by two rough, long
tables of the restaurant, energetically
said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: Mesmer
ism is one branch of the spiritual
phenomena, and I know of no better
method of making ourselves acquain
ted with the psychical force than by
these phenomenal experiments in
mesmerism. You hear much about
“spirits control” over a person, so
that a person called a medium says
and does what tho spirit wishes.
As you will this evening see, .1 mes
merize my subjects and they do and
feel whatsoever I will. The disembod
ied spirit mesmerizes his subject,
commonly called his medium. The
operation is the same in tho one case
as the other. Mesmerism is not a sci
entific term; it may be better called
psychology. Bpirltulasin has its
physical mediums, and its mental or
spiritual clairvoyant mediums. So do
I have my merely physical subjects,
whose arms become rigid, whose eyes
being closed will not open, whose
hands will not unclasp, and wtiose
bodies can bo lifted like a rail of
wood without a joint. Spiritualism
has its states of conscious and uncon
scious control. So I have my con
scious and my uncoricious subjects.
Five chairs were in a row on the
platform. Those persons in the as
semblage who were willing passive
ly to submit themselves for the even
ing to the will of the operator were
invited to walk up. The five chairs
were soon filled. “Now, gentlemen,
if you pleaso,” said t lie operator, “just
place the thumb of tho right hand
upon the pulse of the left wrist, and
look at me. Now close your eyelids.”
The live men obeyed each order.
“Now you can’t got your eyelods
open. Try!” Some of them could
and some of them scarcely could.
“Enough, enugh, all right,” said
Prof, Carpenter, and ten eyes open
ed wide. He now took each end sep
arately. “Put your hands together
like that,” The man did so. “Now got
them apart; you can’t do it.” The
man tried and jerked, and smiled,
mSOOMFITTED.
"Now you can take them apart.”
Apart, they conic. “Put your hands
ou my shoulder; now you can’t take
them off.” Tho hands resisted every
effort of their owner, as though they
were worse than glued. ‘‘You can
take them off;” off they came.
"Twirl your hands rapidly around
each other; you can’t stop it. They
go faster and faster. Oil, how fast
they go!” The passive hands illus
trated every word of Prof. Carpenter.
Before this stage, finding that two of
tho volunteers were not controlled,
the operator sent them to their scats,
and addressed himself to a largo,
heavy-browed man of tho five; “What
is your name?” “Frost.” “Say Bos
ton.” Frost said Boston. “You can’t
say Boston.” Frost triod hard, but
couldn’t say Boston. Idont bellevo
you know your name, said the ope
rator. "What did you say your name
was?” The man thought and t hought,
and gave it up. “Why, yes, you
know your name ; but how you stut
ter!” Frost attempted in vain for
half a minute to enunciate the famil
iar monosyllable.
Tho operator now reseated Frost
and addressed the three, brushing
along by them, and giving them u
tap as he talked, as though in sym
pathy with the mood. “Why, how
warm you are! How excessively warm
it is I Oli,dear! can’t stand this coat! ”
The men, with the first announce
ment of the state of tho atmosphere,
pulled out their handkerchiefs and
began to wipe off the profuse streams
of perspiration, fanned themselves,
and jerked off their eoats. “All
right, all light!” and they wore re
stored to ordinary weather, wonder
ing at themselves in shirt sleeves.

Constantinople, August 21. It is

AN ARMED BODY OF RUFFIANS.
Chicago, August 21.—Tho latost
from Franklin oounty, tho scone of tho
outrage in Southern Illinois, is, that
two men, whoso names arc Summer,
have been found. They wore shot in
the fight near Benton on Monday
night. Ono had died and boon buried,
aud tho other was found in tho woods,
badly wounded. In addition to those,
John Moore, Milford B. Riely, and a
man unknown, linvo been arrested.
Ono of them was severely wonndod.
Cautrol and Duckworth, heretofore
spokon of as badly wounded and cap
tured, nro still living, so that alto
gether seven of tho fourteen Ku-klux
who were iirod upon by the sheriff
and his posse have boon found wound
ed or dead, and how many more will
turn out in like condition is not
known.
It lias just transpired from some
official source that the confer
ence of the Governor and State
Attorney Barr resulted in a joint
telegraphic request to the United
Stales Dietrict Attorney for tho South
ern District of Illinois, Hon. J. P.
Van Dorston, who resides in Vauda
lia, to visit Springfield and institute
proceedings against Ku-lClux clans in
Southern Illinois, and especially in
Frauklin county, under tho anti-
Ku-Klax laws of tho United
States. Mr. Van Dorston bus al
ready arrived at Springfield, and
at once entered upon the prepara
tion of tho necessary papers to secure
the arrest of tho parties suspected of
Ku-Kluxing. The witness, Mr. Ho
gan, of Franklin county, who is re
lied on to furnish the names of about
100 of these gentry, has been tele
graphed for and will arrive to-mor
row. It is expected that warrants
will be issued and all tho partise ar
rested next week. Stato Attorney
Bar says very few of them will be
able to give bail. They will be lodg
ed in jail in Springfield. Without
a doubt the people of Williamson
oounty are following the example of
those of Franklin in tho suppression
of outlawry, and are organizing a
military company, and are taking
other measures to compel obedience
to the laws. Arms will go forward from
Springfield to Jackson county to
night to equip the militia.

MALARIA!
Read, Reflect and Act.
If oue grain of Vaccine Virus, taken from the
cow’s udder and kept dry for yoars, then mois
tened, aud the keenest point of a Lancet dipped
in it aud drawn gently on the arm, ho aa not to
draw tiie blood, will ho impregnate and change
the entire system as to prevent the party so vac*
cmated from taking tho most loathsome of dis
eases (small pox) for an entire life; again, if tha
Celebrated Eucalyptus tree will change an unin
habitable malarial district into a healthy, salu
brious clime, by Bimply absorbing from the at
mosphere the poison malaria, why will not the
proper remedy, properly applied, neutralize and
destroy tho poison, known as malaria, and thus
enable parties to inhabit malarial districts with
impunity?
We claim that there is such a remedy, and that
wo have prepared it, aud applied it, aud proved
it in our Anti-malarial or Euchymiai Belt—and
that persons who will wear this Belt may inhabit
tho worst malarial districts without the fear of
having any diseases arising from malaria; such aa
Chillß aud Fever, Billious or Intermittent Fever,
Yellow Fever. Jaundice, Enlarged Liver and
Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation aud Hem
orrhoids, and tha' it will cure all tho above dis
eases, except the worst cases of Billious and Yel
low Fever.
This is called an Anti-malarial or Euchymiai
Belt, as it corrects the humors of the oody and
produces a healthy action, invigorating the sys
tem, aud thus enabling it to per.orm its various
duties without fearing the effects of malaria in
the least.
It has been tried iu thousands of cases without
a failure.
They can be obtained from the proprietors in
any quantity at the Powell Building, junction of
Broad and Peachtree streets, Atlanta, Ga.
Price for a single Belt $3, or $5 with a guaran
tee that it will cure or the money refunded.

Messrs. Lovk k Willson: Gentlomon—ln April

Ague, having it every alternate day. After it had
run on me for two weekß, I was induced to try
one of your Anti-malarial belts; so I discarded all

directed, aud my Ague became lighter each suc
cessive time thereafter for some thres or four
times, when it left me entirely, with a gosd appe
tite and clear skin; and in future, if I should ever
have a Chill or Ague, I would want one of your Pads,
aud no physic. Wishing everybody that may bs

Some uine years ago I contracted malaria in
Savannah, Ga., from which I have suffered, at
times, ever since, until I met up with Drs. Love k
Willson's Anti-malarial Belt some three months
ago. I have worn it continually, and have had no
chill since, and find my general health, whiek
lias been poor, much improved. I would recom
mend it to others suffering with malaria.
