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.” Carllst Colon,-! Killed. Madrid, August 21.—C01. Ripoll, a Carlist, was killed at Sedenrogel. COLUMBUS, GA., SUNDAY, AUGUST 22, 1875. 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.

Whis ky is thought to boat the bottom of it. An exchange has tile following Item: Along the Atlantic coast below New York, can be found splendid iiarbors. Norfolk lias one in many respects its superior. Port Royal is simply grand in its capacity, depth of water and fine anchorage. It is better than either.

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. N. B.—Nono genuine without tho trade mark is stamped upon thorn. Drs.
