Reynolds Salem. FRIDAY JUNE 23. 187G. A Puzzle for Uledical Men. Says the New York Sun: The as tonishing cure of a supposed fatal dis ease by the manipulation of the hands on the body of the patient is reported in the family of Mr. Charles II. Benson, one of the editors of the Jersey City Evening Journal. Hie patient was the eldest child of Sir. Benson, a girl of 9 yi'ars. Her recovery from a dan gerous illness, and her complete restora tion to health, as described by her parents, may be considered by some as a manifestation of spiritualistic power, and by others as the result of animal magnetism. Sir. and Mrs. Benson say that their daughter was prostrated by acute bronchial affection in the early part ot last August. She had all the symptoms ot consumption. Her cheeks showed the hectic flush of disease, the pulse was quick and irregular and night sweats and daily fevers reduced her body to a skeleton. A hard, racking cougb at night, and constant expectora- tiou in the day, marked the case. Three physicians said that she could not possibly live. Early in January, when the girl's death was daily looked for, Mr. Wil liam Winslow Bennett, a next door neighbor of Mr. Benson's ar.d au avowed believer in spiritualistic manifestations, called into Mr. Benson's house at 362 Ffth Street, Jersey City, and said that the little, girl's cough kept him awake at night, ami he desired to have it stop ped, lie said that lie could hear her coughing in the room where he slept Mr. Benson told him that the noise of the coughing would not trouble him much longer. Sir. Bennett replied that he had cutne to cure the child through the aid of spirits, and he asked the par ents' permission to lay his hands on the invalid. Not having any laitli in spir- Hua ism they refused to consent to Jus mode of treatment. Mr. Bennett renewed his offer with such persistency that both Mr. and Sirs. Benson decided to let him try his powers, fie at once went to work, lie lirst bathed his hands in salt and water. The child was placed on his lap, after being clothed in a loose gar ment which would admit of the manipu lations, over the flesh. Said the medium, "I will not move my hands, but will await the action ot the spirits who are present." In a tew minutes his hand began to move around the throat of the sufferer. That night her cough was not so bad as it had been. Sir. Bennett continued his lavins on ot hands every night for three mouth. He began his operations regularly at 9 o clock. 'Jne evening lie was twenty minutes late, and he said that he could not move his hand, as the spirits were not in the room. Sir. Benson says that his daughter is entirely well. It is said that Sir. Bennett has made other equally astonishing cures, one be ing that of ex-Congressman Lawrence, ot Ohio who bad pneumonia. A hotel ghost comes under the head of inn spectres.. ' Speed r Railway Trains. The following are the highest au thentic instances of high railway speeds with which we are acquainted: Brunei, with the Courier class ot locomotives, ran 13 miles in 10 mimites, equal to 78 miles an hour. Sir. Patrick Stirling, of the great Northern, took, two years back, 16 carriages 15 miles in 12 min utes, equal Jo 75 miles an hour. The Great Britain, Lord of the IsVs,. and Iron Duke, broad gauge engines on the Great Western Bail way, have each run with four or five carriages from Faldington to Li Icot in 47 minutes, equal to G6 mi's au hour, or an ex treme running speed of 72 miles an hour; the i.ew Midland coupled express engines, running ., in the usual course, have been timed 68, 70, and 72 miles an hour. The 10 a. m. express on the Great Northern, from Leeds, we have ourselves timed, and found to be run ning mile after mile at the rate ot a mile iu 52 seconds, or at G9.2 miles an hour. The engines used are Sir. Stirl ing's outside cylinder Tjogie express engines, the load being ten carnages. Western Theatre. An exciting incident, illustrative of Western life, occurred, the other even ing, at the Globe Variety Theatre, at the town of Sidney, ou the Union Paci fic Bail road. The Theatre was crowded with back Hillers, bull-whackers and others. During the performance, a big burly Dutchman, who "had his keg full of lager," yelled out to a bull- whacker: "Say, mister, bull down your vest, uf you b ease." "What's that, yon - ," replied the bull-whacker spin ning out a striug of oaths as long as his arm ; "Oh, now, vipe -our shin off," said the Dutchman. The bull-whacker then pulled out a revolver about a fiot long, cocked it, and pointed it at the Teutonic slang singer, who leaned over and coolly said: "Slien freund, vas ist das? 1st das ein stomach bump, ain't it? i he bull-whacker couldn't stand the impudence any loiger, but fired, the ball grazing the German's ear, going through another man's hat,' scaring a scantily dres-sed beer-jerker almost to death, and finally lodging in a man's shoulder, causing a slight wound. A general stampede from the theatre fol lowed, and shortly afterwards, the bull whacker was arrested, and he now "pulls down his vest" and "wipes oil his chin" m Siuuey jail. The play was resumed after tha ar rest, and everything went on as usual. A startling rumor cpmes from Paris that long gloves reaching nearly to the elbow and requiring twenty buttons will be essential to the peace of mind ot every well-dressed lady this year! Also that without court plaster patches no true toilet will be complete. Twenty buttons and patches! And this is called an era ot refin m! Sir. George Bain was the only dele gate from Slissouri to the National Bepublicaii Convention that was a Coiikling man. Some people thought, from the similarity of iiames, .that he would have been a Blaiue man, But then there was an 1 of a difference as well as an e between the two men. , A correspondent wants to know what is pleasauter, these nice mornings, than getting up and taking a sunrise walk of five miles before breakfast? Nothing, we should ray, unless it is lying in bed and calmly thinking the matter over. To jaw a man that won't jaw back, is like kicking at nothing it worries you but don't hurt tbe other feller. Don Pedro Meet an Indlau. ; A correspondent who accompanied Dora Pedro II. and the Brazilian impe rial part west trom Salt Lake City, re lates the following incident in the San Francisco Chronicle: ! ' At each station where the train stopped tor any length ot time the Emperor jumped nimbly from the car and strode up and down the platform, gazing at every thing there was to be seen and reluming the stares of the lit tle throngs with interest. At . llum boldt station the most amusing occur rence ot the trip took place- Natchez, chief of the Piutes, who with a number of his followers had ridden the train from Winnemiicca, pressed with a leer ing grin up to the side of the imperial car and hailing the conductor, cried out, "Hie, you! whero you capiten? You savee. I look him; me capiten, too." The Emperor emerged from his car, and observing the Piute chief, with the grinning face laughed audibly and ask ed him what tribe he belonged to. i Natchez answered the qextion civilly and smilingly reciprocated with the following: kVou savee, what tribe you capiten?" The Emjieror did not deign to com municate the desired information, but answered with a chuckle. He asked him how many papooses he had; illus trating his q-iestion with a motherly undulating movement of his ' locked arms. Natchez held up two ot his fingers, and with a true Indian persist ence asked the Emperor the same question: "Capiten, papoose you bow ' mucheeV" ! He was answered only by an imper ial laugh which evinced a hearty ap preciation of the humor ot the scene. The Emperor continued his enquiries, most of which were aimed at the num- j bers, condition and disposition of the Piute nation, and ended with inquiring: "Natchez, " how many squaws you got?" The Indian chief distended his eyes, and, throwing up his arms with a ring ing laugh, remarked to the bevy of by standers: "Oh, he capiten, he bad man, lie talkee squaw; he heap bad man!" The Emperor" returned into ' the privacy ot his car amidst a roar of laughter, above which the melodious roar ot Natchez was readily distinguish able. . Prof. Seelye, in his speech at the Fifth Avenue Conference, advanced the opinion that the country ought to be cong.atulated that the Democratic drag-net had caught so -few dishonest officers. The net was so ample, and had been pulled so vigorously, that the only explanation to be made of the fact is that there were tew to be caught. This view of the case is borne out by tlie statement just made to the Senate by tlie Commissioner of the Custom as to the receipts and disbursements and tlie ba'ances outstanding in tlie Treas ury Department. Tlie statment 'hows a deficiency in receipts from Customs for thirty years before 18G0 at the rate of 25 in 810,000, and tor the following fifteen years of only $10 in 6100,000. On disbursements the deficiency tor thirty previous to 18C0 was $26 in 819,000, while for the next fifteen years it was only 54 in $100,000. "This indicates that we are not going absolute. ly to the bad, and that while we might be better than we are, we are consider ably better, in some regards, than we have been. Coroner Praiedicaw, of St. Louis, took some money and a fine diamond stud from a corpse that had been fonnd in the water aud put them in his pocket. Soon afterwards he missed the diamond and could not find it nowhere. Scared by the likelihood of being accused ot stealing it, he went home, and ins ex citement made him dangerously ill. The damond was discovered in the lining ot his vest, but he has not yet recovered from the shock to his nerves.
